Chapter Seventy-Three: Stirring Up Trouble
"Everyone heard it, if you don't have any opinions, let's get to work! First of all, let me explain to you that the division of labor is the same as before, a group of four, two plasterers, one moving bricks, one rubbing mud, today's work, no more, no less, go home early after doing it! Master Yao pointed to the half of the wall in front of him, and said coldly with a tiger face.
After Master Yao finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Xiaohong, and then said: "There is a laborer here today, everyone in our village is working together, and they all take care of each other!" Nothing to do, let's get to work! After Master Yao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the workers responded loudly.
"Good! Get to work! The people on the construction site responded and dispersed. Everyone began to get busy, and the master bricklayers jumped on the gangplank, and they picked up the shovels and went into battle with the cement bricks. Seeing this, the laborers were busy moving bricks and cement and cement, and their feet did not touch the ground.
Sun Xiaohong stood there very uncomfortably, listening with her ears open, and she felt that Master Yao was targeting her with a contemptuous tone both inside and outside her words. Her face turned red like a half-baked sweet potato, then a layer of cold water was poured on it, and then it was roasted again, and then she collapsed. However, she didn't have anything to be afraid of in her heart, didn't she just move a brick, and she could use it to mobilize so much? Thinking like this, Sun Xiaohong glanced at Master Yao very unnaturally.
"Sihuan, you two are with me today, let's go, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and get to work! Master Yao put Sun Xiaohong and Sihuan in his own group, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious. On the first day of work at the construction site, she had to be a little embarrassed by the foreman, and she privately thought that this Master Yao, who didn't recognize her six relatives, was to give her a dismissal. Therefore, she stabilized her mind, turned around, picked up the shovel and followed Sihuan and walked over. When they came to the foot of the west wall, Sun Xiaohong looked at the half of the wall silently, thinking about it in her heart.
Master Yao's division of labor for the two of them was that Sihuan was under the base of the wall and cement, and he asked Xiaohong to move bricks fifty meters away. Master Yao's assignment is clearly making it difficult for Xiaohong. Xiaohong could see it at a glance, and she understood that Master Yao was doing this just to force her to take the initiative to leave the construction site. Seeing Master Yao's expressionless face, a fire ignited in her heart: "Master Yao really underestimates the poor, move a brick, don't have to look through the books, don't try it, he knows if he can persevere, why is he talking so ugly!" ”
Sun Xiaohong is not stupid, she can't hear it, and she can't see the height of her eyebrows. It seems that people have to bow their heads in front of people, do they still have to take other people's wages now, it is better to keep some-for-tat words in their hearts, otherwise they will lose their jobs, not to mention, and their reputation will be ruined. Bear with it, endure it for a while, let the sea and the sky be wide, in order to make the tongue fast for a while, lose your job and don't say it, but also offend Sihuan, it's not cost-effective, in this kind of mixed occasion, it's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb and talk less, in case that sentence is wrong, it will cause the innocent to be disliked.
It's better to have work to do than to stay at home. When she went out in the morning, she had already thought about it, and she had already made up her mind that as long as she was left on the construction site, she could try to do anything.
Now, in order to earn this money urgently, she can only silently obey the arrangement. "Isn't it just moving bricks? What's the big deal, I'm out today. If you want to see my jokes, we'll see! Sun Xiaohong silently agreed, and secretly encouraged herself, she seemed that the work on the construction site was really not good, and if she wanted to stay here to make money, she had to follow the customs of the locals and listen to other people's orders.
On the contrary, she didn't think Master Yao was cold-blooded. Watching the food and eating, tailoring the clothes, people are also to support their families, who would let a yellow-haired girl come here to pick up money casually.
This is a bungalow school building with ridges, and basically there is no need to move bricks with a crane, and it is enough to use manual labor. After Master Yao got on the springboard, everyone started working. In order not to let everyone see her lively, Sun Xiaohong found a tricycle on the construction site, she quickly tossed back and forth between the gable and the brick stack, feeling that it was more than enough for one person to serve two bricklayers, and in less than two hours, she figured out all the routines on the construction site, and became complacent in her heart. It turns out that the work here is not as difficult as imagined.
"This little girl is not simple! Her brain reacts so fast! It seems that she came to work on the construction site, and she was indeed a little blind! Master Yao stood on the top of the wall, watching intently as Sun Xiaohong's hands and feet shuttled between the brick stacks and the gable wall so neatly, but it was beyond his imagination, his cold face slowly thawed and was no longer as ugly as just now. Although he didn't say it, he secretly admired it in his heart.
I saw Sun Xiaohong find a thin small wooden board on the construction site, and then stack the bricks on it, and then lift the wooden plank, and send the bricks to the springboard, he has been working as a bricklayer for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such a fast little girl. A young and strong young man can only hold twelve bricks at a time, don't look at Sun Xiaohong's thin body, she can actually move more than 20 bricks at a time, such an IQ actually stunned Master Yao!
The whole morning passed like this, during the lunch break, the bricklayers went to the village snack bar to eat, Sun Xiaohong had eaten her own lunch, she leaned on the trunk of the tree and closed her eyes to recuperate, she didn't like to join in the fun, so she sat there quietly, thinking about the things of the morning.
Sihuan is very familiar with the little brothers on the construction site, after she ate a few bites of food indiscriminately, she still chewed the rice in her mouth, and before she could swallow it, she followed a few half-sized children to sit on the ground and play poker, and there was a group of workers around them who watched the excitement. These people have nothing to do together, whether they win or lose, it is a farce that turns the sky upside down, I saw them laughing and playing with each other and having a good time.
When I was working in the afternoon, because a springboard was not set up, a master bricklayer suddenly fell from it while he was working. After everyone rushed him to the orthopedic hospital, after a doctor's examination, although the fall was not serious, but his right wrist was broken, and his work there was temporarily unavailable, so he could only find someone else to replace him.
It was important to save people, and everyone didn't have time to think about it, so they sent him home to slowly recuperate. After the master bricklayer left the construction site, the gable he had built was noticeably halted because there was no one to replace him.
There is a shortage of laborers on the construction site, so you can go to find it casually. If there is a lack of bricklayers, it will be difficult to find them everywhere. The construction period is imminent, so I deliberately made a small advertisement to find people everywhere, and I didn't rush to it. If there is a lack of bricklayers, the construction period will have to be extended, and the loss will be great. Helplessly, after Master Yao discussed with Sihuan's brother, the two of them agreed to let Sihuan go up the wall to lay bricks.
For Sihuan, this is indeed a good opportunity. But for Sun Xiaohong, she serves two bricklayers alone, and she has to move bricks and cement, and the salary is not long, so it is difficult. Be someone else, turn around and leave.
Sun Xiaohong thought about it for a long time, she gritted her teeth, and without saying a word, she agreed a little. The construction site began to get busy again, and throughout the afternoon, Sun Xiaohong used her hands and feet together, and she did not stop for a moment. No matter how busy she was, she managed to survive.
"Little girl, you are very good, you have survived such a heavy job, even I can't believe it. Do a good job, give you an extra half a working hour today, go home early and rest, and continue to work hard tomorrow! At the end of the evening, Master Yao walked towards her with a big shovel and a smile. With that, he strode to the side of the motorcycle, put on his helmet, rode the motorcycle, and left the construction site as if in a smoke.
Master Yao changed his normal way to say this, which made Sun Xiaohong's heart immediately feel confident. Without mountains, there are no depressions. What they see is only the surface, the real Sun Xiaohong, her heart is strong and stubborn. In the eyes of others, it's just that, but she doesn't feel that she is worse than others, she just doesn't like to compete and behave.
"Thank you, Master Yao!" Sun Xiaohong was about to go on, but Master Yao waved at her on the motorcycle and rushed out in a flash. Seeing that he was gone, Sun Xiaohong hurriedly packed up his things, carried a shovel, and went to the wall to wait for Sihuan to go home together.
When Sun Xiaohong returned home, unexpectedly, her parents were waiting for her at home. As soon as she entered the door, her mother asked her loudly: "Xiaohong, why don't you stay at home during the day, why are you going to the construction site with Sihuan?" There is a lot of work at home, let your grandma do it alone, she is so old, can she do it? Besides, the construction site is so chaotic, everyone has it, and you dare to run to work secretly, I think you are really getting bolder! Don't look at Si'er who stays in the construction site all the year round to work, he is a man, what kind of work he does, there is nothing to worry about at home, you can't do it, what kind of work does you a little girl run there to do, it's all a heel. You can figure it out, you can make money if you want to, starting tomorrow, you get up early and go into the city with us to sell vegetables, it's better than running around! I don't know a little bit about the rules. Mom glared at her majestically, her tone full of resentment.
"I moved bricks at the construction site for a day, I didn't run around, and they also gave me half a day's salary, I don't want to go into the city with you to sell vegetables, I said yes, I will go back tomorrow." Sun Xiaohong muttered quietly, her eyes kept looking at her instep, not daring to look directly at her mother.
"What? Going back tomorrow? Are you still a little bit out of business? FeelingsWe have been reading books for you for so many years, just to let you go to the construction site to move bricks, right? If I knew this was the case, I might as well let you work in the fields. Look at the way you look now, you haven't read the book and don't say it, you're thin like this, and you're still disobedient, you're going to be angry with me! You didn't get admitted to college, and your father and I didn't blame you, but you and Sihuan went to work on the construction site, so you had to discuss it with us? Besides, going to work on the construction site, relying on strength to eat, is not a shameful thing, can you use sneaky like a thief? It's good that you still sneak out to work, and you're not afraid of the jokes of people in the alley? You kid, it's really worry-free! Xiaohong's mother said a bunch of angry words angrily, while Sun Guodong sat aside and listened quietly, but he still didn't say a word.
