At ten o'clock in the morning, their car arrived at the bus station in Xiaorong Town, and then took the bus again, and then changed cars again, went around and around, and arrived at the construction site at more than 11 o'clock.

This is a real estate under construction, with a large area of land enclosed and fenced.

There are currently six buildings under construction, which belong to the first phase of this development.

When Yan Xin left Xiaorong Town a few years later, this real estate had entered the third phase of the project, with more than a dozen buildings built and several buildings under construction.

A pond of more than one acre was dug in the middle of the real estate, and according to the practice of the real estate industry, this pond was called the lake, and the name of the real estate was Yuhu Garden.

When they arrived, the foreman came to greet them, greeted them, and then led them to the dormitory, a row of makeshift tin rooms with some spare beds.

After letting them put their luggage in the dormitory, they had a meal with them and talked about the rules here.

Food is provided here, but it is not free, and three yuan is deducted for a meal, which is deducted from the salary.

Working here is, in principle, more work, more money, one day of work, more work, more wages, when there is no work to do, then there is no money.

You can choose to settle the day and work for one day to settle the day's money, but this is a temporary worker, and the labor remuneration will be lower, which is equivalent to 70 or 80 percent of the normal one.

In addition, it is also worse in terms of security.

The foreman was suggesting that they stay here for a long time.

According to him, if you do it here for a long time, the income will be higher.

But there is one point he also made it clear that the salary settlement will be a little later, depending on when the boss settles it for them.

If you need money urgently, you can advance it from him, and you can advance two or three hundred yuan a month.

He couldn't afford any more.

If they can't get their wages in time, the attitudes of those teenagers who were originally excited have become different.

Feng Chen is the same.

He's still counting on two months to buy a better phone.

As soon as the foreman saw their expressions, he knew what they were thinking, and he snorted and said:

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with delaying the payment of wages, you are all too young, and it is inevitable to spend indiscriminately when you get the money, and when the time comes, you will work hard for a year and not save any money, so don't you just come out for a trip? Wouldn't it be better to keep that money here, send it together when the time comes, and go home for the New Year with tens of thousands of yuan? ”

Feng Chen said: "What if you drag it out and don't give it?" ”

The contractor laughed and pointed to the buildings under construction outside:

"Look at these buildings, can he afford to build these buildings, can he afford our little wages? Lou is here, are you afraid that he won't give money? People can run, but buildings can't. ”

Yan Xin didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart:

"You can't run, but you can."

In his memory, the arrears of wages at that time was that the contractor took the money and ran away.

It is said that this guy's wife gave birth to two daughters for him, and he was unhappy, so he took care of a young woman outside, and this winter, the woman gave birth to a son, and then he took the money and went away with the woman.

That's the hard-earned money of more than 100 migrant workers who have worked hard for months or even a year.

When he was caught a few months later, the money was gone, and according to him, he had lost all his gambling and could not recover it.

Later, it seemed that he was imprisoned, and he was sentenced to a few years, Yan Xin doesn't remember.

Years later, I heard the story about the contractor - after he was released from prison, he went to the woman who gave birth to a son for him, found that the woman was married, and learned something even more devastating, the son born to the woman, through DNA testing, was not his, but the seed of her current husband.

Yan Xin can hear this story, not only because the contractor is from the same county as them, but also because at the end of the story is a tragedy, the contractor killed the family and then committed suicide.

This contractor is over forty years old, and he still retains the simplicity of a farmer in appearance, and no one could have imagined that such an honest and honest person would actually take away everyone's hard-earned money.

I can't imagine that just such a person will end up with a bloody case full of people.

Appearances are too deceptive.

The words of the foreman dispelled the doubts of those teenagers, and they felt that he was quite reasonable.

Anyway, the money will be given, and there is no problem with being late.

They also asked Lao Wang about the salary of the factory here, for more than ten hours a day, it is basically about 1,000, and there is no food included.

On this construction site, you can basically earn more than 1,000 a month, and if you can start work every day, if you are more diligent, you can earn more than 2,000 a month.

If you can do some technical work, then the income will be higher.

The foreman said: "You just came out, you don't have much money in your hands, and you can't find a job in a day or two, you can stay and work for a while, and if you don't start work on a rainy day, you can go out to find a job, and this doesn't delay anything, do you say yes?" ”

When they came out to find a job, everyone brought some money with them, but the loan money was really not much, and the most was a thousand dollars.

I didn't find a job, and my daily food and housing were a lot of expenses, and that little money didn't last long.

The teenagers all nodded, indicating that the contractor had a point.

Yan Xin knew about the future, but he had no way to say it, and others didn't believe it. When it does happen in the future, others will treat him as a monster.

He didn't contradict him, but after eating, he said to Lao Wang alone: "Brother Wang, my physical fitness is not good, I probably can't do the work on the construction site, I want to go out and find a job." ”

Lao Wang looked at him, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, his body was indeed a little thin.

But compared to his peers, he is relatively strong.

I thought to myself: "It's probably not that you're not physically good, it's that you're lazy, right?" ”

It is indeed a little uncomfortable to pay a hundred yuan less for the introduction fee.

But he also knows that lazy people can't stick to this construction site, keep him today, and won't be able to keep him tomorrow.

He smiled and said, "What kind of job do you want to find?" ”

"Security." Yan Xin did not hide it.

"Why do you want to be a security guard?" Lao Wang was puzzled, "Although the job of a security guard is relatively leisurely, the salary is not high, and there is no future, this is not a good choice!" ”

Yan Xin thought to himself: "I came for this 'although'. ”

The young man wants to save face, and it is not good to say that he is lazy and does not want to do heavy work, so he thinks about it and says:

"Mainly, I have admired those soldiers who defend their families and countries since I was a child, and I think they are the real heroes. Although I can't be a soldier, I can be a security guard and guard the safety of a community, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of my childhood dream. ”
