Chapter 306: The Birds Singing in Spring (3)
War epidemic demons, poverty demons, anti-piracy, support genuine reading.
In the logistics compound near the Ningxi Railway Station, Miao Miao and Bahati began their working life as coolies.
The first to mid-April is the best time for farmers of all ethnic groups in Ningxi to plant corn, and before planting corn, they must first apply bottom fertilizer to the land, and then plow, harrow, and sow seeds.
When applying base fertilizer to the land, diamine and urea are mainly used, and the business that Boss Li, who has strong funds, has received this year is a large planter with high demand.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, the number of people coming to Ningxi to work from other places has decreased by one-third compared with previous years.
With the lack of workers, no one is willing to do the dirty, tiring and heavy work of loading and unloading agricultural materials.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient stevedores, Boss Li negotiated with the large planters who purchased agricultural materials, and the unloading was not as manual as in the past, and the automatic unloading function of large trucks was started.
In this way, Miao Miao and Bahati can only load goods in the large warehouse, and the loading fee is the same as the loading and unloading fee, although there is one less link, but it is still 20 yuan per ton, which undoubtedly raises the salary in disguise.
Bahati is right, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, Miao Miao and Bahati are full of energy, and they have to load 200 tons of agricultural materials every day.
In order to grab the moisture and plant corn, the big growers work overtime, so that sometimes in the middle of the night, Miao Miao and Bahati have to work overtime to load a car of agricultural materials.
At the end of the day, an average of nearly 300 tons of agricultural materials are loaded into the car, or even more, but fortunately, there are long-term workers from Boss Li to work together during the day.
Only at night, the work of loading agricultural materials is done by Miao Miao and Bahati, and the overtime work at night is more than during the day.
Miao Miao knows that it will only take a week to plant corn, and farmers will rush to sow seeds in these days, and after this season, the demand for fertilizer will be less.
In the off-season, the maximum salary he earns a day is seven or eight hundred yuan, and he is unwilling to give up the opportunity to make less money in the peak season of loading agricultural materials.
Loading a truck is an extremely tiring errand, especially loading a large number of agricultural materials, hundreds of tons of goods, every day, he and Bahati are so tired that they can't move their legs, sometimes so tired that their legs tremble.
One night, Bahati was so tired that he sat down on the cold concrete floor and said with a crying voice, "Miao Miao, I am so tired that I want to cry." ”
On a dark night, the incandescent lamps illuminated the warehouse as bright as day, and beside the piles of agricultural materials like a high mountain, a large truck and two tired young figures looked so lonely, small and desolate.
Miao Miao, who was panting for breath, the long-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body was already wet, as if she had been fished out of the water, and it was tightly pasted on her body, revealing her strong body and muscle lines.
The beads of sweat on his head rolled down, and the beads of sweat flowed down into Miao Miao's eyes, and he couldn't open his eyes because of the salty sweat.
He took off his gloves, wiped the sweat from his eyes with his clean palms, and squinted at Bahati's wet face, not knowing if it was Bahati's sweat or the tears he shed.
Miao Miao gritted her teeth, and secretly worked hard to say to the deflated Bahati: "Hold on for two more days, for 15,000 yuan, let's work harder, didn't you say that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward?" Let's be a good man, and the words we say are like water spilled, and we can't take them back. Grit your teeth, work harder, in a few days, in the off-season, you just want to load so much fertilizer, it's all a dream. ”
When Bahati heard the figure of 15,000 yuan, he gritted his teeth and got up, and continued to work with his waist bent.
When Miao Miao loaded agricultural materials this time, she found that a person's inner strength and tenacity are infinite, just like a sponge fished out of water, and the water in the sponge can still be squeezed out.
The drudgery of loading agricultural materials, the operator Boss Li knows the bitterness and hardship in it the most, and he arranged the food for Miao Miao and Bahati very well.
It's still the same halal restaurant, breakfast is steamed buns, milk tea and two side dishes, lunch is noodles or home-cooked noodles, and dinner is stewed mutton, spicy fried chicken or dumplings.
Boss Li has already arranged for the restaurant owner to have only one condition, let Miao Miao and Bahati let go of their stomachs to eat, and they must be full enough.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, there is a tendency of "labor shortage" in Ningxi City, which is engaged in dirty and hard labor.
Boss Li, who lacks stevedores, is still very grateful to Miao Miao and Bahati from the bottom of his heart, and in the peak season of previous years, at least 10 stevedores were busy every day.
Affected by the epidemic, since the beginning of spring this year, in addition to the three long-term stevedores who have been fixed by themselves, the only temporary workers are Miao Miao and Bahati.
The number of agricultural materials loaded and unloaded is certain, but the loading and unloading personnel are less than half, and their three stevedores are paid monthly wages, and three people per day ensure that the number of loading and unloading is 200 tons of guaranteed wages.
In this case, the monthly wage will definitely not stimulate their enthusiasm for labor, and after the three of them finish loading 200 tons a day, they will not do anything more, and they will not want to help.
The rest of the agricultural materials were almost loaded by Miao Miao and Baha, especially the agricultural materials loaded overtime at night, and the three stevedores did not do a single bag.
Even if your boss Li is anxious, the three stevedores are still asleep, they have been working for a long time, and the three of them have become old fritters, unless they add money and raise wages, they have nothing to do with them.
The key is that the number of salary increases they ask for is more than that of Miao Miao and Bahati, and Boss Li does not want to get used to their problems, and Boss Li naturally sees and remembers the current situation.
After loading agricultural materials every day, their bodies were smelly and smelling of sweat, but the two young men would rather lie on the bed like dead dogs and rest than take a hot bath, they were too tired.
Miao Miao, who has always paid attention to personal hygiene, basically didn't pay attention to anything in the process of doing coolies this time, and in this coolie work that exceeded normal physical fitness, Miao Miao found that it turned out that suffering would change a lot of things and habits in a person.
In suffering, the habits of life that could not be compromised before can be settled, and the things that were unbearable before can be endured, and suffering is really a teacher in life, so that you can learn a lot, understand a lot, and realize a lot.
Although it was hard to find thousands of waters, blowing all the wild sand to reach the gold, Miao Miao took this hard work as an opportunity to hone his will and mind.
Whenever he saw that Bahati wanted to give up and was ready to retreat, he calmly told Bahati about his thoughts about gritting his teeth and insisting on this overdraft.
While persuading Bahati to continue to persevere, he was also persuading himself to persevere.
Miao Miao tried to use this labor to challenge the limit as a life experience to temper herself and exercise herself.
He firmly believes in his father's teachings, the more tribulations the more tempering people are, and the more suffering they can temper their will.
