Under the warm sunshine, a group of men of different races and ages squatted or sat on the ground, snorting and eating a fragrant and delicious lunch.

After the big guy finished lunch, more than a dozen tree fellers put the dishes and chopsticks into the cauldron, and they all picked up the tools and walked towards the construction site.

"I say, brothers, don't you take a break at noon?" Miao Miao walked towards the makeshift stove with the empty bowl in her hand, and asked in a loud voice to the crowd who were busy walking towards the construction site.

Brother Yang, the tree cutting foreman who led the shift, turned his face, pointed his finger at the sky, and explained: "Miao Miao, you didn't read the weather forecast?!" The weather will change in two days, take advantage of the good weather, do more, don't work in a nest. ”

Miao Miao looked at Brother Yang's back and asked in a loud voice, "Brother Yang, do you need to bring you some hot tea to prepare?" ”

"No, it's cold, you don't need to drink water, just make dinner ready." Brother Yang twisted his face and quipped.

In the past two days, Miao Miao has become familiar with these migrant workers, the elder brother is short, and the relationship is quite harmonious.

Miao Miao said loudly: "Tonight, stew mutton, drink mutton soup, nibble on mutton and naan, okay?" ”

The men who followed Brother Yang towards the construction site shouted in a thick Sichuan accent: "You have to bring it, eat mutton sprinkles, it's very beautiful." ”

Kurbanjiang and Lao Chen walked up to Miao Miao to discuss things, "Miao Miao, it's really not good, let's also contract workers, contract workers do it quickly." If you drag it out any longer, if it changes the sky or something, it snows, and it's not easy to work, do you think it's okay? ”

Hearing this, Miao Miao nodded, looking at the two elders in front of her who were like relatives.

He humbly asked, "Okay, you see, if you contract a contractor, how much is appropriate?" ”

Kurbanjiang looked at Lao Chen and didn't speak, and Lao Chen didn't say anything when he looked at Kurbanjiang.

Seeing this, Miao Miao knew that the two elders were embarrassed to say the price, so she chuckled lightly and said to the two elders: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Ku, even if you two mention it, it is so much money to find others to do these jobs, so don't worry about it." ”

Lao Chen and Kurbanjiang glanced at each other, Lao Chen and Miao Miao calculated the account, "There are 17 people in our Bulak Village, and the daily salary is 200 yuan per person, if you are a contractor, you have to work three hours more than a day to settle the bill, you see that if we settle the account according to 260 yuan per person per day, 2600 yuan per person in 10 days, 17 of us will have to,"

Miao Miao took her mobile phone to calculate the cost of contract labor, and then Lao Chen said: "44,200 yuan." Okay, that's it, Uncle Chen, Uncle Ku, I'll add an extra 150 yuan to the two of you every day, and you two will take care of the work, and be responsible for cleaning up these scattered branches. In this case, I don't have to worry about these odd jobs with the two of you. I put my energy into the work of digging trees with excavators, cutting trees by choppers, leveling the land, okay? You two should be doing me a favor. ”

Lao Chen and Kurbanjiang listened to Miao Miao's words, and hurriedly said, "Miao Miao, great, you can be busy with other things, and the odd jobs here will be handed over to the two of us." You must not say help, if you want to help, you have done us a great favor, now the work of beating grass and grass is over, and the work of drip irrigation belt can not earn a few dollars, and we 17 farmers in Burak Village can earn 2,600 yuan by following you for 10 days, what a good thing. ”

Kurbanjan also said gratefully, "That is, you still take care of three meals, we eat more meat here every day than at home, pull noodles, pilaf, stewed mutton, eat flax well, work at noon, other people in Burak Village are still talking about it, if there is such work in the future, you can find us, this kind of food and shelter, and the salary is quite high, and the good thing is good flax (really good)." ”

Miao Miao smiled and nodded, he knew the simple people of Burak Village.

They have been working in their father's orchard for many years, and they have all made a deep acquaintance.

If you treat them with sincerity, they will repay you with their hearts.

With Lao Chen and Kurbanjiang leading workers to do some scattered finishing work, Miao Miao has more time to stay by the machinery to supervise and direct the mechanical labor.

After three busy days, nearly one-third of the poplar forests on the 300 acres of land have been cut down and loaded into trucks.

Forklifts and bulldozers have filled in one-third of the large and uneven pits and small pits that have cleared out of the potholes and unevenness, and leveled them into pieces of flat land.

Boss He stood in front of the flat land and inspected the land, with a relieved smile on his face.

He looked at the dusty construction site, the tall Miao Miao, wearing a peaked cap and a mask, was directing a forklift to dig a big hole.

A thick layer of dust fell on Miao Miao's washed white and faded high school uniform, and her fair face was also covered with dust.

Boss He walked to the busy villagers of Bula Village and asked Lao Chen, who was busy holding the branches with both hands, "I said, Lao Chen, is this Miao Miao really your boss's son?" ”

Lao Chen looked at Miao Miao, who was about to become a native, and said proudly: "Boss He, you hand over this land to Miao Miao, don't worry, he will definitely smooth it according to your requirements, without any discount." Don't come here to supervise the acceptance, after you are busy with 300 acres of land, you can just accept it. ”

Boss He smiled and nodded, "This Miao Miao's work is quite reassuring, not to mention, this child is not big, and he can endure hardships." ”

"That is, he is quite similar to his parents, he can endure hardships, he is sincere, and he has a kind heart." Lao Chen threw a large bundle of branches in his arms into the pile of branches.

"No wonder, you guys aren't lazy in your work, you're very attentive." Boss He knew it in his heart.

Kurbanjiang pointed to the gray-faced Miao Miao in the distance and said: "Miao Miao's family is good to us flax, if we steal and play tricks, don't we have to sprinkle our faces." ”

"Yes, it's a heart-to-heart for anything." Lao Chen was busy with his hands and feet as he spoke, not delaying his work at all.

Late autumn is the windy season in the Ningxi region.

This late autumn day is changing.

The sky, which had just been bright, suddenly became black and oppressive, and then the wind and sand blew overwhelmingly.

The wind and sand hit the face and I couldn't open my eyes, and I couldn't walk, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

Miao Miao asked Lao Chen and Kurbanjiang to take the peasants to the pump room to escape the gale.

Lao Chen and the others squinted at the cold autumn wind, shook their heads and said, "Come on, this day will change, this little wind is fine, you can finish it early and go home early." ”

Because of her thin clothing, in the autumn wind, Miao Miao was so cold that she grinned her teeth, her hands were numb, her lips were chapped, her hands were blistered, her face was blown by the wind and sand, and she was tanned by strong ultraviolet rays.

He still stood by the forklift, directing the forklift master to push the roots into the pit.

When Bahati came back with a message, Uncle Han Wen suggested that he should not install the roots of the tree and directly dig a big pit at the construction site to bury them.

In order to meet the deadline, Miao Miao adopted the suggestion of Uncle Han Wen.

The wind blew all day, and finally stopped in the evening.

Although it was a day of strong winds, Miao Miao and the others did not stop working, and the big guys did a lot of work against the cold wind.

In order to reward these agricultural workers, Miao Miao asked Adil and his wife to cook something delicious.

Adil boiled a large pot of stewed mutton, and when the 50 workers saw that the dinner was stewed mutton, they immediately let out a burst of cheerful strange screams.

Many people beat their iron bowls with chopsticks and hummed rhythmic music.

These men who have been working outside for a long time have long learned how to find fun in exhaustion.

Miao Miao ate a few pieces of leg meat, drank some mutton soup, and went back to the car to rest.
