When he woke up the next day, the boy felt that he couldn't talk about living in a hotel and going to work.

How expensive the guesthouse is. These tens of thousands of quick money can't withstand such consumption. This is incompatible with the economical and simple concept of money that he has cultivated since childhood.

Gotta rent a place like your home here.

The dragon boy thought again, it is better to wait until he finds a job before renting a house. Once you find a job, you can rent a house nearby, saving time, effort, money, and convenience.

The priority is to find a job.

The dragon sleep kid ran to the talent market.

He was like a person who was not very pious and went to the wrong temple and burned the wrong incense.

What kind of talent is he? He only remembered the last time he looked for his mother, and he came here. He threw his resume at the window, and the staff inside looked dismissive. Because he has no education, he didn't even graduate from high school. Some people even joked to him: Let's go to school.

He browsed the job postings on the walls in the hall, and college students were in general demand. At the very least, you have to graduate from high school. Standing any longer, he felt his face flush.

He didn't feel like he should be here. This should be the place where college students look for jobs. Or a place where people with jobs are looking for job hopping opportunities. He turned and walked out.

I didn't have to go a few steps, but there was a labor market on the side. The dragon sleep boy was straightforward and plunged into it.

Oh, the market here is vast. There are many jobs and types of work suitable for him. The dragon boy looked at the information on the wall, dizzying and dazzled. Not a college student, there is also a place for use. Even if you are a high school student, you can also show your talents. High school degree or less, physical work is more.

The dragon boy thought that his leg strength had been restored, his body was strong, and a lot of work could be done.

There is one above, a furniture factory. The furniture factory is a furniture maker. The boy grew up in the mountains and was in the company of trees, so he wondered how those trees were made into furniture.

Driven by curiosity, he called the manufacturer at the number above. The phone is as soon as it is called. The manufacturer asked him about his basic situation and told him to go to work directly the next day.

It turns out that finding a job is so easy.

For the remaining half a day, he explored the way ahead and found the gate of this furniture factory in the suburbs. He didn't go in, he just used this as a coordinate to find a house nearby.

A mountain baby, how can he have experience in renting a house in the city. Fortunately, he can ask. Although his mouth was full of dialects, he spoke slowly and gestured so that passers-by could understand him.

A kind aunt said to him: To rent a house, you have to find an agent.

What is an intermediary? The dragon boy asked.

The aunt sneered, and then her face flushed with sorrow. This child, should go to school, what house to rent.

The aunt simply took him directly to a real estate agency.

It turns out that this is the intermediary. After listening to the enthusiastic introduction of the intermediary brother, he figured out that there is any room here.

A two-bedroom suite is too expensive. One room house is not nearby. Only a shared house is suitable for him.

Looking at the house, signing the contract, paying the deposit, making an advance payment, he took half of an old two-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom house built in the seventies of the last century. The other half belongs to a college student surnamed Zou who has moved in and goes to school nearby.

Longmian Kid wondered: College students have collective dormitories, why do they rent a house outside.

got the key to the house, and the dragon sleep boy didn't waste time. He vacated the room and moved in.

Settling down, he regretted it. It's close to where I work, but far away from the city, how can I find my mother?

The dragon boy prepares to say hello to the college student in the next room.

The door to the next room was kept closed. Either there's no one, or he's studying hard, so why bother me. It's not too late to wait for him to be free.

It's great to share a room with a college student. Not only can you ask him about your studies, but you can also ask him about the situation in college. Going to college has always been the dream of the Longmian Kid, and he is a little unwilling to pass by it so easily.

I finally had a good night's sleep.

When I got up in the morning, the birds were singing outside the window, and the boy already felt the heat of the sun. He took a deep breath and was in a very good mood.

Last night, no one had been in or out of the next room. The college student surnamed Zou did not come to live at all.

The rented house was empty, which made the dragon sleep kid incomprehensible.

After the dragon boy finished washing and dressing neatly, he went out with confidence.

Within a mile, the gate of the Yangtze River Furniture Factory arrived.

The furniture factory has a large front door. There is a courtyard inside. There was a lot of timber piled up in the courtyard. In the courtyard, there is a row of red brick and blue tile factories, which is equivalent to a workshop.

Although it was early, there were already employees in the yard carrying wood.

The boy walked into the courtyard, and before he could ask, a middle-aged man who looked like a boss approached him.

All the employees wore uniforms, but he was the only one in a suit and leather shoes. The boss walked, the tie of the red zebra crossing fluttering around his chest.

The boss claimed to be Mr. Li in the recruitment information, Li Buqun. He asked some basic information about the dragon sleeping boy, and then pointed to an office inside. Say to him: You go to Li Xiaoming, the director of the office.

The dragon boy walked into the office. There were three people sitting inside, one man and two women. The man must be Li Xiaoming, there is no doubt. The two women, because there is a safe against the wall next to their desks, must be financial personnel, accountants and cashiers.

After the dragon boy introduced himself, Li Xiaoming was very enthusiastic. I asked a little more about it. Li Xiaoming took him around, let him get familiar with the environment here, and then sent him a set of work clothes. After he put on his work clothes, he was led by Li Xiaoming to a master.

The master's surname is Hao, and he is a sturdy middle-aged man.

The job is very simple, that is, according to the master's requirements, the timber that can only be enclosed by both hands is transported to the cutting machine. Of course, the wood is transported by machine. Then, the wood is pushed towards the entrance of the cutting machine. With the roar of the machine, the timber was instantly unloaded and transported to the processing workshop.

Looking at these woods, the dragon sleeping boy had a sense of intimacy. When I was a child, I went to Longmian Mountain to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, pluck bamboo shoots, pick tea, and always shuttle in the woods to play. But he had never seen a tree so thick that it took his hands to enclose it.

Grandma said that Longmian Mountain used to be lush with trees, and the big trees surrounded by one person's hands abounded, and the "big steelmaking" that began at the end of the fifties of the last century, because of the logging on the mountain, all the larger trees in Longmian Mountain suffered, and now it has grown to a thick bowl mouth is already very good.

Looking at these woods, the dragon sleeping boy suddenly felt a sense of guilt. How many trees do these wood take, and how many years do trees grow? These trees have been mutilated, how is it different from the "great steelmaking"?

Master Hao is a native of Shuijiahu, tall and strong, and his family's land has been transferred, so he came here to work. In less than a year, he became a master.

Master Hao is very good to Longmian Kid, the only thing he doesn't agree with is that Longmian Kid doesn't go to school well, but he runs out to work.

In the middle of summer on the bank of the Yangtze River, it is steaming. The boy in Longmian always sweats profusely when he gets to work. Master Hao advised him to rest. He always shook his head and said he wasn't tired. Keep working.

Say not tired, how is it possible. At the end of the day, the Longmian boy felt a sore back and legs.

He dragged his tired body, bought five large buns at the roadside shop on the way back, and devoured them as soon as he got home.

After eating the big bun, the dragon sleeping boy sat on the head of the bed. He turned on the TV and rested. However, after only half an hour of watching TV, drowsiness came. He couldn't stand it, his face was not washed, and he entered the dream fragrance.

The next day, he mechanically repeated the labor of the first day.

He had more and more communication with his masters and co-workers, and gradually became familiar with each other.

These workers often express their dissatisfaction and contempt for Li Buqun's boss. As for the dragon sleeping boys, they are more and more friendly and caring.

Why?

It turned out that in their minds, Boss Li Buqun was like the image of a bad nouveau riche. He was too strict with his employees, but he did not pay much and often withheld them. Working overtime is a common thing, but

No overtime pay. And he, Li Buqun, himself, is full of seas, tax evasion, and living a life of spending all day and drinking.

How is such a boss different from a landlord? How is it different from the capitalists who exploit the workers?

A piece of wood had just been cut by the cutting machine, and when the dragon boy was about to transport the second wood, the master suddenly asked him: What did the boss say to you?

The dragon boy stopped, turned around, and asked the master: What did you say?

Master Hao said: Salary.

The boy said: The salary is 2,000, including Chinese food.

Master Hao asked: Is there five insurances and one housing fund?

The dragon boy said: What are the five insurances and one housing fund?

Master Hao waved his hand and said indignantly: I advise you not to do it here.

The dragon sleep boy was puzzled. Master Hao sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.

The dragon sleep kid doubted. He didn't know what "five insurances and one housing fund" were. I wondered, does the master think that the salary given to me by the boss is too small? He should also give me "five insurances and one housing fund".

At this moment, Boss Li Buqun walked silently behind the Longmian boy.

He glanced at the planks on the ground and said to the boy Longmian: "This is just cutting three logs, what have you been busy with for half a day?" We are operating on the assembly line, and your sluggishness will affect other processes, and the factory is maintained by efficiency.

The dragon boy hurriedly left to work. Master Hao gave Boss Li a blank look. Obviously, he was quite disgusted by what Boss Li said.

At noon, Master Hao took advantage of the rest time and took his apprentice to make solemn representations to Boss Li Buqun, saying that he should give Longmian Boy "five insurances and one housing fund". Other workers also surrounded him, forming a powerful aura.

Li Buqun's boss promised to give him immediately from this month.

Only now did the Longmian boy roughly figure out what the "five insurances and one housing fund" were all about. This is the treatment and risk protection he deserves.

When he returned to his lodgings in the evening, he was still lamented by the events of the day.

Thanks to the master. It turns out that work is not just about work, there is a lot of ingenuity and learning; Migrant workers are not only part-time workers, but also have many legitimate rights and interests that need to be protected. He laughed self-deprecatingly at the thought of this.

Only then did he notice that the entire share house was still quiet. It's a shared house, but you don't see a co-tenant.

Could it be that the college student surnamed Zou moved out when I rented this house?

Otherwise, who would rent a house and leave it empty?

Or, he has been studying hard lately, and he has to study at night, so he should not go out.

Or is there something else going on with him?
