The next morning, Mao Mao went to work like a worker, still going to clean up the waste mud on the road.

He also knows a person who is responsible for the excavation of the pit "pit chief", everyone calls him so, "pit chief" is specially to soak the thick soil on the soil cliff with water, and then dig a trench under the earth cliff to break the roots, so that the soil on the top, a large area collapses, let the bulldozer load the soil on the rack car, push down in the brick machine, the work of the "pit chief" is also the most dangerous type of work, look at the collapse of the time, to pull the head in advance to avoid immediately, a little slow will be buried in the danger of being buried inside.

Last night, Mao Mao and the "pit chief" slept next to each other, in the westernmost part of the shop, because the "pit chief" is very dirty, unlike other workers, after the shift to put on clean clothes, the "pit chief" at any time to get up to provide a large amount of soil in the pit, for the bulldozer workers to keep having soil loads, if you are lucky, a large piece down can supply three or two days, at this time the "pit chief" can sleep idle, go out to wander, if you can't put down the big clods, you have to dig desperately, so he rarely changes clothes, no one sleeps next to him, There was a strong smell of sweat.

"It's okay, when the boss comes back, I will tell him to go, leave you behind, don't worry."

So Liu Maomao slept very soundly that night and pinned his hopes on the "pit chief". As he cleared the road, he looked at the dirt pit and wondered if his boss would come back.

On the night of the fourth day, the boss came back drunk, Mao Mao heard about it and hurriedly pulled the "pit chief" to meet, the boss sat on the bed and looked at the "pit chief" for a long time, before he saw clearly, waved his stiff arm, stammered and said: "Go, go, go to the pit man - husband - let the soil go." Turned around, stretched out his head, stared at Maomao, exhaled the smell of wine, and before he could see Liu Maomao clearly, he fell crooked on the bed and snored and fell asleep quickly. ”

The next afternoon, the boss finally became much more flexible, hurriedly walked out, looked around with sharp eyes on the construction site, and several workers saw the boss coming, hurriedly pushed the bulldozer fast, and the construction site was in full swing.

The boss pointed to Liu Maomao who was cleaning the road, and then waved his hand to let Liu Maomao come over, Liu Maomao looked at the pit again, he hoped that the "pit chief" could also walk over to intercede, and it happened that the "pit chief" was pouting his buttocks, picking up his head and digging the earth cliff, and he didn't see the arrival of the boss at all.

Liu Maomao stood in front of the boss, sweating on his head in a hurry, and he couldn't help but look at the dirt pit.

"Where? How old is this year? The boss took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it, and asked, "Can you stand this work?" ”

"Big Locust Tree Village, it's eighteen years old this year." Mao Mao hurriedly replied: "Competent, capable." ”

"You're eighteen?" The boss smiled weirdly and said, "I'm ten years old." Where is Big Locust Tree Village? ”

"......" Mao Mao looked at the boss and smiled when she heard this, thinking that the boss was joking.

"You're too young, you can't afford this job, so let's go back."

"I can stand up, boss, I've run two construction sites, if you don't accept me, I won't have anything to eat." Mao Mao said that tears came out of her anxiety.

"Don't dwell on it anymore, go home-" The boss said and wanted to leave, the "pit chief" came, and the "pit chief" waved a hand to the boss very imposingly and walked over.

"What are these two days?" The boss asked: "It's still the same, there are about 20,000 billets in the past three days." ”

"Well, work hard, and I'll give you more bonuses at the end of the year."

"This child stays, it's pitiful, the father is dead, the mother is still blind, and the family is very poor."

"Really?" The boss tilted his head to look at Maomao's face and asked, "What bad luck has happened to you?" ”

"Yes, it's true, my dad died the year before last."

The boss threw away the cigarette butt, looked around the construction site, and said thoughtfully: "For the sake of the 'pit chief', leave you behind, and you will clean up the road!" If you have time to go to the billet field to learn to erect bricks, then the life is easier, but you have to be careful about the frame, and the collapse of the frame will deduct your salary. ”

Mao Mao was very excited, he could finally make money, he worked hard, always kept the road smooth and clean, saw the potholed road, he used his head to correct it flat, and also cut off the small soil ridge at the bend, and pushed the soil down in the low-lying place, so that the slope is not steep, and the bend of the bend is also small, he used the rack car to push the sand on the pad, so that the bricks will not fall, the boss looked at it from afar and smiled happily.

He began to learn to erect bricks, and he was very grateful to the "pit chief", so he regarded the "pit chief" as a close friend. When working shifts, I often follow behind the "pit chief", go to the market to hang out and eat together, and the "pit chief" pays strongly.

"My salary is higher than yours, and your two salaries are too chilling." The "pit chief" said contemptuously: "The boss still owes me more than 7,000." ”

Mao Mao knows that the "pit chief" is single, and he is often angry with others, and whoever dares to provoke him often picks up his head and fights others, and his temper is also weird; Never go to the billet field to tease girls like other lads.

But special care is taken for Mao Mao.

"Maomao, just recognize the 'pit chief' as a godfather and count the ball." Others jokingly said Maomao, Maomao just laughed.

In the rows and layers of brick yards, Mao Mao is going to learn to build bricks with these senior sisters, who takes him, no one wants to bring, they see Mao Mao holding a brick to insert in, they are all depressed, no one wants to take care of this naughty child, because, this quality and quantity are absolutely linked to wages.

"If you don't teach, I won't teach him."

"That's it, if you delay people's speed like this, you will get less salary."

"I don't teach him either."

"Coming, coming, be quiet."

"It's not that the boss is afraid of what he does, or he doesn't teach."

No matter who Mao Mao follows to learn to erect bricks, it will affect the quantity of people, and even the quality, if the erection is not good, there is a possibility of the collapse of the whole row, then it will be miserable, at least one-third of the salary will be deducted, even if they are veterans, this kind of collapse of the whole row often happens, so they are always carefully erected, looking at each other, whether there are signs of crookedness, early detection and timely correction.

"Stand aside and watch." A slender girl, with big eyes, and a little basket legs when she walked, named Liu Yufeng, glanced at Mao Mao obliquely, and prevaricated sternly.

"Why are you like yelling at an animal, can you be gentle with the little handsome guy." Yufeng's partner Gao Fan said angrily.

"Get out—" Yufeng replied with a smile.

There were eight of them, two of them were in charge of a row of bricks, and they seemed to be very united and harmonious, and if the brick squeezer choked to death by a stone, they would straighten their waists comfortably, beat each other's backs, and sit down to laugh and laugh.

Mao Mao was very obedient, shyly holding the brick plug and standing there very carefully, looking very attentively, Gao Fan looked at him snickering, knowing that if he looked at it like this, he would never learn if he didn't practice, Yufeng was impatient.

Just look at it and don't raise your hand to do it, there is no salary, Maomao is being teased like this, it has been two days, and Maomao is starting to get anxious.
