Chapter 24 Construction Sites
Looking at the name signed by Shang Tao when he received the money, Liu Changdong said with a smile: "Shang Tao, I'll call you Xiao Shang, the young man is really good, his strength is quite big, do you want to do some work in the afternoon?"
Shang Tao thought that it would be fine in the afternoon anyway, and nodded in response: "Okay." ”
Liu Changdong patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to lunch first, and then go to work after eating a good meal." ”
Shang Tao was happy, the construction site was really in charge of cooking, "I eat a lot, no problem, right?"
Liu Changdong was also happy, "Those who work on the construction site, who don't eat much, eat a big pot of rice, the taste is not very good, but the measurement is enough, and you can eat it with confidence." ”
The site canteen is in a spacious shed, a few buckets of rice, a few buckets of vegetables, and I went to eat casually.
The dish is very simple, a green vegetable soup, a cabbage fried pork, gone, the taste is really not good, just enough.
Shang Tao eats with relish, he has never been a picky eater, and his stomach growls with hunger after working all morning.
When Liu Changdong saw Shang Tao eating the fifth bowl, he was already amazed, "Xiao Shang, you can really eat it, I thought you were joking." "You must know that the bowl for eating on the construction site is a big bowl.
Shang Tao took a bite of rice and said vaguely: "It's only great to be able to work hard." ”
A few people eating at a table on the side also said: "This little brother's meal is really big, more than Yongzi's food, it's really amazing." ”
"Who eats more than me?" said a stout, dark-skinned, round-faced young man.
Others pointed at Shang Tao.
The young man squeezed in and sat down, and when he heard that Shang Tao had eaten five bowls in a row, he gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, I only ate four bowls at a time, and I still made a bet with someone to eat, and it almost killed me." ”
Liu Changdong introduced Shang Tao: "This is Liu Yong, you can call him Yongzi, and he is also from one of our villages." ”
Most of the people at this table are surnamed Liu, and they are all young people brought out by Liu Changdong from his hometown village to work, and they are all related to him, and everyone else calls him uncle.
Liu Yong asked, "Uncle, this little brother is new to our team?"
"Xiaoshang is still a student, and he comes to work part-time on weekends. ”
Liu Yong looked at Shang Tao and said curiously: "I don't think you are fat Xiao Shang, how can you eat so much?"
Someone said: "I've watched some videos of the live broadcast of the big stomach, and those people are not fat, but they can eat very much, and they can eat a large table of things." ”
Liu Changdong said: "The stomachs of those big stomachs are different from ordinary people, and they can be stretched out and become dozens of times larger, so they can be eaten." ”
"Uncle is still knowledgeable, Xiao Shang won't be the kind of big stomach king with a big stomach, right?" Liu Yong said.
Shang Tao smiled and didn't speak, those big stomach kings eat, most of them eat as much as they want, he is different, the nutrition of all things will basically be absorbed by the strong gastrointestinal system, in order to nourish the body and enhance physical fitness.
Now his body system has formed a virtuous circle, as long as there is enough nutritional supplementation, he can slowly strengthen his physique.
Of course, this kind of enhancement is very slow, relying on the accumulation of time, unlike the hit level of the point, which can be achieved overnight.
Liu Changdong said with a smile: "Xiao Shangke can not only eat, but his strength is also very great, bigger than all of you." ”
Liu Yong was unconvinced and said: "No, Xiao Shang is white and tender, his body looks a little thin, how can his strength be greater than mine." ”
"Yongzi, if you are not convinced, break your wrist and give it a try. ”
"Try, try. ”
The others laughed and coaxed.
Liu Yong looked at Shang Tao eagerly.
Shang Tao smiled: "Okay, come." ”
The table was closed, the two of them took a wrist-wrestling posture, and the referee gave an order.
Bang, Liu Yong's hand was pressed on the table.
"Haha, Yongzi lost. Everyone else laughed.
Liu Yong blinked, "Come again, I wasn't ready just now." ”
Bang, his hand was pressed against the table again, this time faster, and the crowd erupted in laughter again.
Liu Yong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Admit defeat, Xiao Shang's strength is really great, amazing." ”
Most of these people who came out of the countryside to work were very young, and some were even younger than Shang Tao.
Their immature faces are full of traces left by wind and frost, and their rough and dark skin shows the hardships of these people's daily life.
But Shang Tao didn't feel too much sophistication and gloom in them, some were just simple, and there was happiness from the heart.
So he laughed along, and laughed very happily.
After a good meal, there was a break at noon, and the migrant workers gathered together to smoke and brag.
"It would be nice if Xiao Shang could come to our construction team. Liu Yong broke his wrist and lost, but he made friends with Shang Tao.
Liu Changdong scolded with a smile: "Xiao Shangke is a student, and he will go to college in a short time. ”
A hint of envy and admiration flashed in the eyes of several young people, although today's college students are becoming less and less valuable, but in their eyes, they are all worthy of admiration.
"University, it's great, Xiaoshang, you have to study hard, working on the construction site is actually very hard, and you don't have to work on the construction site like us after studying in college." Liu Yong sighed.
Shang Tao smiled and asked, "Why don't you continue to study in your hometown, and you all came out early with Uncle Liu?"
Liu Yong scratched his head embarrassedly, "My brain, graduating from junior high school is already stained with the light of the country's nine-year compulsory education, and if you ask me to continue studying, I'm afraid it won't kill me." ”
Everyone laughed, everyone's situation is similar, they all ran out to work if they couldn't study, if they studied well, who would want to come out early to endure hardships.
It's almost time, everyone goes to work, and Shang Tao is assigned some work in the afternoon to carry some waste materials that need to be cleaned up manually.
After exercising in the morning, this time he was more handy, and after finishing his own work, he went to the construction site to help Liu Yong and them.
This time, he got along with a group of young migrant workers.
These uneducated migrant workers are sometimes vulgar, swearing, joking and telling pornographic jokes.
But with them, Shang Tao felt very relaxed.
Of course, people have two sides, and it doesn't mean that all migrant workers are good people, it's just that Shang Tao is unwilling to think about this.
His thought was that his usual life was hard enough and tiring, so why should he think about some unpleasant things that had nothing to do with him.
There was once a classmate of the literary club who strongly despised Shang Tao, who was reading online novels with relish, and strongly recommended some so-called physical literature that exposed social reality and knelt on the real to him, telling him to read these nutritious books in order to become a nutritious person.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a nourishing person. Shang Tao said lightly
Then, I haven't seen it, I don't want to see it, please get out of the way (roll the edge), Shang Tao refused three times and was so angry that the classmate's nose was crooked.
Since then, he has been classified as a hopeless layman by many literary and artistic young people in the school's literary club.
