Chapter 2 Construction site
Xingyuan July 19, 201, a construction building in the northwest suburbs of Dong'an County, Central and South Province, Longguo, has been built to the third floor, and began to build steel bars to build the fourth floor.
But at this time, there was a young man wearing a yellow hard hat, orange overalls, about 1.8 meters tall, with a dark face and arms, wearing shabby gloves, and holding tools and steel bars in his hands to build quickly, sweating like rain.
"Xiao Han, take a break, come, drink saliva. A middle-aged man wearing orange overalls, a red hat, a relatively kind face, and a height of about 1.68 meters climbed to the third floor and shouted to the hard-working youth. Holding two bottles of mineral water in his hand, the surface of the mineral water bottles was covered with water droplets, and it looked like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.
"Okay, Uncle Pan, I'll come when I'm done screwing this," the young man replied in a loud voice, and after a while, the young man took off his gloves and walked quickly to the middle-aged man's side.
"Uncle Pan, why are you here, don't you take a lunch break" The young man known as "Xiao Han" asked, and as he spoke, he took the two bottles of mineral water in the man's hand, one bottle was sandwiched under his left armpit, and unscrewed the other bottle of mineral water.
"Cool, thank you Uncle Pan,"
The young man's full name is Han Kexin, don't look at the height of more than one meter eight, dark skin, with tenacity and calm on his face, in fact, he is only eighteen years old, he was originally in the second year of high school because his mother was seriously ill and could not work, and he also had a younger sister who was in the third year of junior high school, so he chose to drop out of school to follow this relative Uncle Pan, who was a contractor at the construction site.
As for the father? Han Kexin hasn't seen it since he can remember, and he hasn't seen a photo of that man or anything, and his mother never mentioned it, I remember that Han Kexin was ridiculed by his classmates when he was in the first year of junior high school, and his mother found a wild man to give birth to him and his sister, for which he also had a fight with those classmates, of course, he didn't fight, Han Kexin hadn't started to grow his body at that time, and when he returned home with a blue nose and swollen face, he asked his mother who their father was, and if he was still alive, his mother didn't speak, and Han Kexin kept asking, and finally his mother cried, crying very sadly, and was alone in the room。 Since then, Han Kexin has not asked a word about this matter.
"Xiao Han, you're still working at noon, if I don't come to see it, how can I explain to your mother what happened to you,"
Looking at the young man with a dark and tough face, the middle-aged man was very emotional, Han Kexin had been studying very well when he was in school, he was very smart, and he was supposed to be a child who was supposed to study in school, but in order to support this family, he resolutely dropped out of school and sweated on the construction site.
"Uncle Pan, don't I want to finish all the work I contracted separately as soon as possible, I can earn more when the time comes, it's okay, I can stand it" Han Ke said to the middle-aged man with a hearty smile.
It turned out that Han Kexin asked the middle-aged man, the contractor, for instructions, saying that he wanted to do the work of an area by himself, so that he could earn more than everyone working together, although it would be very tiring. There is no way, because my mother loves to smoke, she has small cell lung cancer, which is in the middle and advanced stages, and she needs money to suppress her condition, and her sister is still young and needs to be taken care of. Therefore, Han Kexin wanted to earn more money, hoping to improve the situation at home.
"Good boy, when I first came to the construction site, I was just 1.7 meters, and now I have to be 1.8 meters, okay, very good, haha, your mother will be very happy to see it" Uncle Pan said with relief.
Han Kexin raised his right hand and scratched his head, hehe smiled, when he first came to the construction site, Uncle Pan just asked him to do chores, which was easier, but he didn't make much money, in order to make more money, he learned to build steel bars from steel reinforcement workers, sweating like rain every day, and the food on the construction site was also very good, plus he was not afraid of hardship, and he could help his co-workers.
"Okay, I'll go back and sort it out first, and I can pay you tomorrow," Uncle Pan said, turning around and leaving.
Because of the policy of the Dragon Kingdom, the wages on the construction site are basically paid once a month, and there are very few people who are in arrears of wages to the workers on the construction site or work for a year and pay a year.
Watching Uncle Pan go downstairs, Han Kexin put the half bottle of water in his hand in a shaded place, took the gloves that had only been opened two days ago, but now they were worn out, turned around and walked to the work site, thinking that he could pay his salary tomorrow, he could buy two of his sister's favorite crabs, and his mother's medicine to suppress the disease could also be renewed, and his mood suddenly became better, and he worked hard.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the workers came out of the dormitory shed one after another, and everyone came to the construction site in twos and threes after the rest and began to do their own things.
The carpenters put the steel pipes up, fastened the buckles, and then laid the boards on top and wrapped the pillar boards, and their wages were 350 yuan per day. The outer erector is responsible for the safety net and outer frame outside the floor, 400 per day, it is more dangerous to do this, so Uncle Pan will not let him do it.
Cement worker Han Kexin is not very familiar, and they usually have to rest when they are dusting. The tower crane is very good, when he first came, Uncle Pan wanted him to learn the tower crane, Han Kexin couldn't go or live, Uncle Pan asked him what was going on, he held back the fear of heights for a long time, yes, he was indeed afraid of heights, if he was allowed to go to the top of the tower, he only needed to look down for a few seconds, and the person should have fainted~.
"Kexin, you arrived so early, or did you mean that you didn't rest at all, and you have been working here," the speaker was a young man about twenty years old, with much whiter skin than him, shorter than him, about one meter seventy-five, very handsome, and came to Han Kexin with a smile at the moment.
"Well, I want to do more," Han Kexin looked up at him and said, but his hands didn't stop, and he immediately lowered his head and was busy working.
This whiter man is called Duan Twelve, who opened the tower crane at the construction site, because the tower crane operation room is air-conditioned, and it does not need to be exposed to the sun, it is relatively white, and the supervisor is a relative, and the family background is not bad, so he usually goes to work more freely.
Because once the worker asked him to hang the concrete, and he was hanging the steel bar, and the wooden flute was waiting for him to hang, it should be very anxious to hang the concrete, so he kept calling him, he was tired of the last deliberately dragged the hanging concrete, and finally hung them after work, and was blocked by those workers after work to teach him a lesson, and was seen by Han Kexin to help mediate the matter, so later there was nothing to do Duan Twelve pulled him to eat and drink.
"That's it, then you will need steel to call me, I will give you a priority" Duan Twelve said and turned around to go to the tower crane, he also understood Han Kexin's situation, so he could help him at the construction site.
