Along the way, as Chen An'an expected, the car shook violently.

By the time the two of them arrived at Wangjia Village, half an hour had passed.

But in reality, the tricycle didn't go very far.

The tricycle stopped in front of a building full of scaffolding.

"Get out of the car." The second uncle stopped the car and commanded Chen An'an behind him.

After Chen An'an made a promise, he jumped directly from the tricycle car.

"Yo, young man, be careful, there are a lot of nails here, don't jump straight down." At this moment, a man in his forties and fifties with a black beard on his upper lip and a somewhat short and fat figure walked over, he glanced at Chen An'an twice, and then looked at Chen Jintang, "Jintang, this is your son, right?" ”

By the time the bearded man finished speaking, Chen An'an had already jumped in the air, and he looked at the ground in surprise.

Sure enough, just as he was about to land, a rusty iron nail appeared at his feet very cleverly.

Chen An'an gently adjusted his posture and landed safely in the area where there were no nails, he bent down to pick up the wooden board on the ground, and said to the second uncle, "There are really nails on this wooden board, fortunately I'm lucky!" ”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then he walked in front of Chen An'an, holding a wooden board with nails, "Young man, you have good eyesight, if I am a trick, I may be hit." ”

With that, he picked up the plank and threw it into the area where the debris was piled up.

The second uncle smiled, he looked at the bearded man and scattered a cigarette, "This is my nephew, I want to come here to help, and I will pay him according to the long-term work." ”

"Long-term wages counted?"

The bearded man was obviously stunned, he looked Chen An'an up and down carefully, and found that the latter was just an ordinary college student, and at first glance he was a young man who had never done anything serious.

"Yes." Chen An'an knew that this was the so-called contractor, and he looked at the contractor very seriously, "Uncle, I must be counted as a long-term worker, and I can't lose a penny." ”

Chen An'an didn't want to meet a black-hearted contractor, squeeze his labor, and deduct his wages, so he had to say it in advance.

The bearded man's bacon-like cheeks trembled, and he immediately showed a playful smile, "Jintang, your nephew is really good at telling jokes. He looked at Chen An'an, "Young man, you're a college student, right?" ”

"Yes." Chen An'an replied truthfully.

"I've seen a lot of college students like you, and they're all powerless, and they can't stand picking 30 pounds of bricks, how do you ask me to pay you a salary?"

Hearing that the foreman didn't want to accept his nephew, the second uncle suddenly became anxious, "Lao Wang, my nephew has a lot of strength, don't worry about this, he will definitely not let you down!" ”

The bearded man smiled, "Jin Tang, I look at your face and give him the salary of a small worker, is it okay?" ”

Small workers, with a salary of 60 a day, mainly do some simple and easy work of moving bricks and loading cement mortar.

Generally, this kind of guy is done by some old people who are old and have not enough legs and feet.

Medium-term workers, with a salary of 200 a day, can basically do everything to build a house.

Long-term worker, with a salary of 300 a day, is a long-term meal ticket for the foreman, who works reliably and often follows the foreman to do things.

The second uncle, Chen Jintang, is a long-term worker.

"Lao Wang, how can this be." The second uncle was suddenly anxious, he stretched out his hand and patted the bearded shoulder, "My nephew has a lot of strength, and he can cut three acres of land a day for cutting rice, so how can he be considered a middle worker!" ”

"Three acres of land?" The bearded man froze on the spot, he glanced at Chen An'an, he didn't look like this kind of fierce man, "Jin Tang, you are an honest person, how can you learn from others to brag!" ”

"Uncle, why don't you let me give it a try?" Chen An'an knew that he couldn't convince the contractor with his own mouth, so he could only speak with facts.

"How do you give it a try? Three acres of land a day, a big buffalo can't plow the land! ”

"Just because the buffalo can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

"So what's the matter, are you going to lift me up?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Chen An'an walked up to the bearded man, holding the latter's back with one palm and grabbing the latter's thigh with the other.

"I ......"

Just now, he looked down on Chen An'an's beard, and instantly found that his body was tilted, and the next second his whole person rose high, his two hands fell underneath, and he frantically grabbed Chen An'an's arm, "I believe it.... Hurry up and let me down, I'm scared to death..."

After putting the beard back on the ground, I saw that the beard's cheeks, which were originally like bacon, suddenly turned into boiled bacon, "I'm one hundred and fifty pounds, and you actually lifted it, okay, even if you work for a long time!" However, doing things on the construction site is not only about strength, but also about efficiency and quality! ”

"Thank you, uncle." Chen An'an smiled.

The bearded man couldn't help but take a step back, avoiding Chen An'an, "It's okay to call me Lao Wang." ”

"Okay, Wang."

"You have so much strength, be responsible for picking bricks!"

"No problem!"

After that, several people began to divide and cooperate.

At this time, other migrant workers came over one after another, and after a few words of greeting each other, they joined the house building business.

Before leaving, the second uncle reached out and patted Chen An'an on the shoulder, "You see safety." He pointed to a ten-meter-long, thirty-centimeter-wide staircase behind him, made of four large logs spliced together, "The owner of this family only plans to build three floors, so Lao Wang doesn't want to install elevators, so you have to step on these stairs to pick bricks, remember to be careful, don't fall down!" ”

"Okay." Chen An'an smiled, he looked at the staircase, and found that it was only about thirty centimeters, and the highest point was more than four meters high from the ground, "I'll be careful." ”

What Chen An'an didn't know was that when the first floor was completed, the second and third floors would be the most dangerous.

Migrant workers who pick bricks need to carry hundreds of pounds of bricks, carefully climb along the stairs, climb to the top of the building seven or eight meters, or even more than ten meters high, and may fall from the stairs if they are not careful.

Although such accidents rarely occur, they cannot withstand the nationwide scale, and I don't know how many people have died as a result.

"Lao Liu, this young man's bricks, remember to fill them for me and put them in the middle of the dustpan!" The bearded old man, who was still a little afraid, walked in front of a pile of fire bricks, and whispered to Lao Liu, who was squatting on the ground with both hands and putting the fire bricks on the dustpan at the same time.

Lao Liu was an old man with gray hair and tattered clothes, his eyes were dull, and he didn't look at what the young man looked like, but nodded directly in agreement.

"! Below! Don't hurry up and pick bricks! At this moment, the uncle who was building the wall upstairs scolded the people below.

"Okay, I'll come up now!" Chen An'an quickly adjusted his state and ran to the front of the fire bricks, and found that the two baskets of dustpans had already been filled with fire bricks.
