In this way, Lin Ran started this job with his cousin at the instigation of his cousin.

I took a bus and came to a construction site, which is very large, covering an area of dozens of acres, and it is said that a large square is being built. After the successful construction, it is also a landmark building in the urban area.

Now that the entire square has been completed, all that is missing is the interior decoration and exterior decoration.

And the job that Uncle Lin Ran found for him was interior decoration... Install water pipes, that is, fire hoses.

By the time Lin Ran and his cousin arrived at the construction site, it was already close to 3:00 p.m., so naturally it was impossible to go to work again, so his cousin left Lin Ran in the so-called dormitory and went out alone to explain something?

When my cousin left, Lin Ran couldn't help but observe this dormitory.

It was a 20-square-meter room, similar to a dormitory in a school, with three shelf beds for students in the school.

By this time, four of the six beds were already occupied, and two were empty.

Lin Ran looked down at his suitcase, and then at the empty bed. I couldn't help but shake my head, it seems that he still needs to buy futons.

Placed his suitcase on top of an empty bed and waited quietly.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lin Ran's cousin came here again, accompanied by three people, one of whom was about the same age as Lin Ran's cousin, the other two were about 30 years old, and the other was twenty-seven or eighteen very young.

Uncle Cousin introduced Lin Ran and the three of them to each other, and Lin Ran also said that he didn't have a futon and was going to go out to buy it.

Lin Ran's cousin found out about this when he brought Lin Ran here, and he didn't stop it, and directly told Lin Ran about the closest shopping mall here.

It's not very far, only eight or nine hundred meters away.

Bidding farewell to his cousin, Lin Ran didn't take a taxi... So I walked towards the mall that my cousin had mentioned.

10 minutes away, Lin Ran finally came to the mall.

It's not huge, but it's not very small either, like the New Oriental Shopping Plaza in their county.

Bedding and other bedding are sold on the 3rd floor, so you don't hesitate to go straight to the 3rd floor.

After spending half an hour watching, Lin Ran felt that everything here was very good... No, it's very good, but the price of those things makes him breathe in the air.

2999，6888，19999，88888……

Lin Ran never dreamed that this ordinary bedding would be so expensive, 88888, is this made of gold?

Even if it's made of gold, it shouldn't be so expensive.

After all, the insight is too short-sighted.

Although he has learned a lot about luxury goods from books and online news, and he has been exposed to it when he worked in the New Oriental Shopping Plaza, but now that he sees it with his own eyes, Lin Ran still feels incredible.

It's like when you see the president on the news every day, but when the president appears in front of you and shakes hands with you in a friendly way.

In a later phrase, poverty limits your imagination.

Lin Ran is like this, it's hard to imagine what the world of those rich people is like?

After shopping for half an hour, Lin Ran found the cheapest one in this mall! 999 yuan... Again, it wasn't something he could afford.

I had no choice but to leave.

He also knows that there are basically no cheap things in this kind of big shopping mall, since it is a big shopping mall... That price must go up.

Just like when he was shopping guide in the New Oriental Shopping Plaza, those Adidas are all famous brands, and the price is just like these bedding, often hundreds, and the best ones are thousands of yuan.

But in fact, the purchase price of which goods is actually only 1/10 of the selling price... That's violence.

The price was simply unaffordable, so Lin Ran could only leave the mall, preparing to go to some supermarkets to see if there was a suitable bedding, preferably under 300 yuan.

He is not familiar with the place here, so Lin Ran can only take out his mobile phone to find the map, and then ask passers-by... All together, he finally found a small bazaar. It's like a shopping street in the county.

After walking two or three hundred meters, I finally found a place that sold bedding.

I asked about the price, it was not bad, it was all within Lin Ran's affordability.

A quilt, a mattress, and a bed sheet add up to 299 yuan, which is very cheap, and even so cheap that Lin Ran doesn't believe it.

After paying the money, Lin Ran left with this bedding and did not check the quality of these things, and he knew exactly what he could buy for 299 yuan.

The cousin said that it was only a project for ten days here, and there was no need to buy too good.

Ten days is just a temporary job for him, and when his cousin's project is completed after ten days, he will be able to find a job and a place to live in this urban area... Why not.

According to the route in his memory, he returned to the place where he lived, and he hadn't found it before, but now that he looked carefully, Lin Ran found that the place where he lived was actually a courtyard... It's like a small farm yard in the countryside, but it's just built in the city.

The farmhouse was clearly about to be demolished, and it was in tatters, with 5 rooms in the courtyard. The room where Lin Ran and the others lived was one of these five rooms, and the other four rooms were all occupied.

I didn't expect to have such a day... He shook his head helplessly, and then returned to the room to find his cousin and them there.

I didn't say anything to my cousin, and I spread the futon by myself.

Seriously, he Lin Ran is not yet 16 years old, and he has no common language with this group of middle-aged people who are twice his age, or that he is thin-faced and embarrassed to speak.

In the evening, Uncle Cousin and they cooked, and Lin Ran had a meal.

After a night without words, Lin Ran got up early on the second day, a little excited in his heart, just like he went to work at the New Oriental Shopping Plaza on the first day. It is the thrill of facing the unknown, the excitement that has never been experienced before.

Dressed neatly, cousins and uncles also got up one by one. did not take Lin Ran to the construction site immediately. After all, it's morning, and I just woke up to have breakfast.

It's my cousin who cooks and cooks again.

After breakfast, Uncle Cousin and the others began to walk towards the construction site with Lin Ran.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, I came to the first basement floor of this mall building. Came to the place where they would work in the future.

At first, Lin Ran didn't know anything, he didn't know anything... What water pipes... What threads... What threading machine... What suspended ceilings... Not at all, he will do whatever his cousin arranges for him.

He continued to be very smart, and his cousin learned it as soon as he called him.

At the beginning, Lin Ran's work was very simple, just to select the steel pipe according to the required specifications, how long it was, and finally assemble it with thread. He doesn't need a ceiling or something.

My cousin said that installing this water pipe was very tiring, very tiring, very tiring, and in fact it was. On the first day, Lin Ran was tired and had back pain, and he slept and was reluctant to get up on the second day.

Although he could ask for leave, because his personality was relatively strong, he didn't ask for leave, so he persevered.

This insistence was 7 days, and on the 8th day, Lin Ran really couldn't do it, he had no strength in his body, it was a bit like heat stroke.

In the heat stroke of the great winter, Lin Ran is indeed rare in ancient and modern times.

On the 8th day, I took a full day off and rested in the dormitory.

Although I regretted it a little on the day of the break, why did I believe what my cousin said, the salary of 150 is indeed very high, but it is also too tiring.

Just imagine a dozen meters of water pipes... The water pipes here are steel, not plastic.

More than a dozen meters of water pipes were going to lift him from this end. Two or three people may not be able to do it.

There are also water pipes with a diameter of 20 centimeters, five or six meters long... It must be about 100 pounds, and it must be lifted as well.

This heavy physical labor is simply not something that his small body can afford.

I wanted to give up, but my cousin told him that it was estimated that it would only be a few days.

Lin Ran was not a person who gave up halfway, and in the end he persevered.

On the second day, I continued to work, and I continued to do so for another 8 days. It took a total of 15 days of work to complete the project.

It can't be regarded as a military industry, after all, there are still two days left before the New Year, and even if you pay a salary, you don't want to do it.

Uncle Cousin's job is to install fire hoses, and so far 2/3 of them have been done, and there are 1/3~1/3 left, so they can only wait for next year.

During the Chinese New Year, all of them need to be paid, even if the work has not been completed, but the person in charge of the project department has paid wages to those staff, including the low-level construction personnel like my cousin.

On the day he left, his cousin gave Lin Ran a salary of 3,200 yuan, and the extra 200 was what his cousin asked for Lin Ran.

At that time, I was still full of emotion, but later I learned that in fact, the daily salary for installing water pipes was 200 yuan......

How do you feel after knowing the price difference? The indescribable feeling is not like uncomfortable, like a little admiration for his cousin, very magical.
