At noon, Qin Zheng walked to a construction site in the Xingzhong District.

It seems that several commercial buildings will be built here, and workers are earning hard-earned money in the scorching summer.

Qin Zai just contacted one of his former co-workers, that person's name is Luo Shangang, he is in his early forties this year, Qin Zai used to work with him often, and when he rested, the two of them also liked to drink two glasses of wine together, of course, it was basically Qin Zai's treat.

This Luo Shangang is not a simple character, when he was young, he came out of the poor mountains and remote places, relying on the work of a craftsman handed down by his family, coupled with self-education, he became a very great decoration craftsman, and soon after, he married a girl in the city, and when he returned to the village every year for the New Year, it was all beautiful.

When they worked together in the past, Luo Shangang told Qin Zheng about his glorious deeds.

It's a pity that Luo Shangang gave birth to a son with autism, and spent a lot of money for it, and because of the turmoil of the times, his original career was yellow, and his daughter-in-law ran away with a rich man while she was still young and a little beautiful.

Luo Shangang returned to the starting point overnight, no, if you add his son, he can't even beat the original starting point, but he didn't give up, and still worked while earning money.

If he can receive the decoration work, he will take the decoration work, and if he can't receive it, he will come to the construction site to work, all year round, and the money he earns is spent on his son.

Although his son's condition has improved slightly, he is still unable to support himself, and Luo Shangang can only work harder.

Qin Zheng bought a pack of cigarettes before he came, inquired about the construction site, and followed other people's instructions to find Luoshangang.

There were also a few people around who knew Qin Zai, and they all greeted Qin Zao with a smile.

"Brother Luo, it's been a long time." Qin Zheng shouted and walked over quickly.

When Luo Shangang saw Qin Zheng, he had already stopped, he was pushing the car, turned his head, and smiled at Qin Zheng: "Xiao Qin, you haven't come to work for a few days, right?" ”

Qin Zai nodded with a smile, took out a Chinese cigarette, took out one and handed it over.

Luo Shangang put down the cart, took off his gloves, and took it: "Zhonghua, good boy, have you made money recently?" ”

"No, it's just to save face, has Brother Luo's work been going well recently?"

Luo Shangang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said helplessly: "What's wrong with hard work, work hard to make money, it's just that the work in recent days is not easy to do, Xiao Qin, if you still want to go back to the construction site to work, I advise you, don't come here, go to the small construction site to see, although it is unstable, you may not earn too much money, but at least you don't need to work hard." ”

Looking at Luo Shangang's sad face, Qin Zao also felt a little surprised, the workers next to him, as well as Luo Shangang, Qin Zai were very familiar, when they were working, they had never been as listless as now, and they seemed to be tired.

But when they used to work, these people could easily endure three or four hours of high-intensity work, but now they are doing the same work as before, so they shouldn't be so exhausted.

Qin Zheng asked, "Brother Luo, what's going on?" ”

"Xiao Qin, you should also know, our site coolies, is paid by the day, every day at sunrise and daily income, working hours are about four hours in the morning, four hours in the afternoon, a few days ago, the foreman proposed that we get up at four o'clock in the morning and go to work early, the weather is hot at noon, you can rest after finishing the work, at the beginning said good, everyone thinks about it, and it feels reliable."

After a pause, Luo Shangang continued: "But we worked from five o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock, and after four hours in the morning, he still asked us to continue to work, and we had to work until twelve o'clock every day before we could have lunch, and we worked at high intensity for seven hours in a row, who could stand it?" And it will be dry until dark in the afternoon. ”

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, this kind of hard work, ordinary people have been doing it for a long time, and they can't bear it at all: "Then the salary should always be more, right?" ”

"If it's more, we won't complain, the key is that he told us that working on the construction site is calculated on a daily basis, and the wages are all agreed before, two hundred a day, and he also said that we can go as we want, and the salary in front of us will not be given a dime."

Looking at Luo Shangang's swarthy forehead, Qin Zheng said in a deep voice: "Is that Wang Fatman already black-hearted to such a point? ”

Luo Shangang shook his head: "The foreman is no longer Wang Fat, look over there." ”

Qin Zheng looked along the direction of Luoshangang, and saw that on the building frame more than 100 meters away, Wang Fatzi was carrying more than 100 catties of coils, walking step by step.

Wang Fatzi is the former contractor of Qin Zheng and Luoshangang, although everyone says that he is black-hearted, but how can the contractor not be black-hearted? As long as you don't get worse than others, you are a good contractor, Wang Fatzi is not bad, sometimes he helps to work together, and earns money to invite guests to dinner, which is absolutely unambiguous.

"Wang Fatzi owes a huge amount of money because of gambling, and he drinks and makes trouble, which provokes the developer, and now he is no longer a contractor, and no one is willing to give him a job contract anymore." Luo Shangang said.

The current Wang Fatzi is a bit similar to what happened to Luo Shangang, Luo Shangang has a little bit of a sad feeling of a rabbit and a fox.

"And who's the contractor now?" Qin Zheng asked in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a fat and tall young man over there had already walked over and kicked Luo Shangang's buttocks: "Did Lao Tzu give you money to let you chat here?" Hurry up and get to work, or everyone will leave work an hour late. ”

Qin Zheng saw that the man kicked Luo Shangang, and he had already thrown away the cigarette butt, and he was about to do it when he went up.

Luo Shangang hurriedly stopped Qin Zheng: "Xiao Qin, don't be impulsive. ”

"He hit you." Qin Zheng shouted angrily.

"Forget it, I'm stiff and can withstand it, you can't afford to mess with him." Luo Shangang whispered comforting.

The man was wearing a suit, but due to his figure, he looked nondescript, his name was Zhu Er, and everyone called him Zhu Papi behind his back.

Looking at Qin Zheng, Zhu Peel laughed disdainfully: "Who the fuck are you?" This is the construction site, did Lao Tzu allow you to come in? ”

After speaking, Zhu Papi also glared at the surrounding workers: "What do you see?" Don't you have to work? A bunch of hillbillies, they get angry when they look at you. ”

Then, Zhu Papi actually kicked Luo Shangang again: "You hurry up and work, that kid, if you come to find a job, kneel down and kowtow to Lao Tzu, otherwise, go anywhere." ”

"Brother Luo, let go, otherwise it will hurt you." Qin Zheng's brows furrowed tightly, and his expression became extremely calm.

"Xiao Qin, don't make trouble, it's not good for you."

Zhu Papi chuckled: "Look at your eyes, do you still want to beat me?" Come on, Lao Tzu is standing here, there is a kind of you try to hit me? Do you dare? Lao Tzu gives you 10,000 guts, do you dare to touch me and try it? ”
