The victim came out of the house to greet Zhao Honghong, a man in his forties, not tall, and his smiling appearance gave Zhao Yunfei a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole project is not big, the south wall is inclined and cracked because of the settlement caused by rain, so this family plans to tear down the old wall, rebuild it on the original basis, increase the height of five layers of bricks, and build a gatehouse at the gate, that is, two or three days of work.

After unloading the car in a few minutes, Zhao Hongli ordered: "Tear down the wall first!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the inclination and cracking degree of the wall, discussed a few words, and started together, first knocking down the most inclined dangerous wall, then removing the door battlements, and finally knocking down the wall in sections.

Knocking down the wall, Zhao Hongli and the two big workers took the shovel to clean the foundation, and the small workers scraped the dismantled bricks clean, and put piles of stacks on the side of the foundation, and used these bricks when building the wall.

It is said that the work of demolishing the wall was originally a small work, but the engineering team in the countryside is not so strictly divided, when there is no big work, the big workers cannot be idle, and the top small workers make it, of course, the wages are still the wages of the big workers.

The victim took out a large tea tray and placed it on a small wooden table in the courtyard, in the tea tray was a large pot of tea, several teacups and two boxes of Baisha brand cigarettes, beckoning everyone to smoke and drink tea, which is already very generous in the countryside, and there are many people who are only responsible for providing boiling water, not tea and cigarettes.

The efficiency of the morning work is high, everyone is hand-to-hand, more than an hour to dismantle the wall, because it is the old foundation of the wall, so there is no need to smash the foundation, the owner asked to play a layer of cushion, has been the cushion material is ready.

Use stones, cement, and sand to mix evenly on the foundation in proportion, and the professional term is called the cushion, and the wall is built on the cushion, and the wall is not easy to settle and tilt.

Although Zhao Yunfei said that it was the first time to do small work, he was no stranger to these jobs, he had done it for his neighbors before, and life in the countryside was like this, only the blessings he had never enjoyed, and there was no work he had not done.

After the cushion is measured, the line, and then the big work to open the base, the small workers supply mortar and bricks, Zhao Honghong as the contractor foreman's main job is to deploy manpower, check the construction quality and supervise the construction progress, but because it is a small project, the work of the contractor is dispensable, so Zhao Hongli also picked up the shovel to act as a large base wall.

When the wall is demolished, the old bricks have been stacked in place, so that the process of transporting bricks is omitted, and the work of the small worker is relatively much easier, mainly to supply mortar, Zhao Honghong saw it and said: "The small worker does not need to open, the nest worker, Yun Fei went to my tool pocket to take a big shovel, and followed the old Wang to build the wall." Then he said to the old bricklayer, surnamed Wang, "Take him, old Wang, and ask him to buy you two boxes of cigarettes to smoke." ”

Wang bricklayer understands that Zhao Honghong means that he wants Zhao Yunfei to be a bricklayer, and he also knows that Zhao Honghong and Zhao Yunfei are related to each other, and they are distant uncles and brothers. ”

When Zhao Yunfei heard Zhao Hongli say, he hurriedly turned around and went to the three-horse carriage to find Zhao Honghong's tool pocket, took a big shovel and walked back to Wang Bricklayer and said, "Master Wang has caused you trouble!"

Hearing the title of "Master Wang", Wang Bricklayer's heart is still a little bit of a taste, "Master" has an extra surname in front of the title, it seems much more estranged, seeing that Zhao Yunfei is a clean and neat young man, he intends to accept Zhao Yunfei as an apprentice, so he half-jokingly said: "Don't bother, let's Zhao Tou let me take you, nominally I am your master, if you don't understand anything, you can ask." ”

"Hey!" Zhao Yunfei agreed, and then stood beside Wang Bricklayer and watched.

Another bricklayer surnamed Ma looked condescending and said, "This kid is not sensible, the old king has promised to accept you as an apprentice, you should kneel down and kowtow now." ”

Wang Bricklayer said: "Don't do this old thing, these young people don't want to learn from bricklayers if they don't kowtow, and no one wants to learn from kowtow." ”

Zhao Yunfei smiled, didn't say anything, and stood beside Wang Bricklayer to watch him demonstrate.

The mamalayer said while building the wall: "People with money and access will definitely not let their children learn to be bricklayers, let alone let him kowtow to you, even if you kowtow to him, he will not learn, people have a better way, who suffers from this, people who have no money and no way, what can they do if they don't do this? If you want to learn, you let him kowtow, let him kowtow, let him kowtow, and let him kowtow." After speaking, the mamalayer turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yunfei, and the meaning of his words was obvious.

Zhao Yunfei's eyes swept the malayman, but he still didn't speak, he couldn't say anything in this situation, he couldn't say that he didn't learn, he couldn't say that he didn't set up wine, and if he wanted to say wine, he couldn't come up with money, so he could only be silent, his face was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Honghong relieved Zhao Yunfei with a sentence next to him, and said: "Bricklayer work, what is there to learn? It is a skilled worker, not stupid or stupid, you will do it a few times, and when this project is finished, I will set a table of wine, and then Yunfei will give Master Wang two more glasses of wine." ”

"Hey. Zhao Yunfei hurriedly agreed.

When the malayer heard Zhao Hongli say this, it was difficult to say anything more.

Wang Bricklayer has already demonstrated Zhao Yunfei twice, and then gave him a small section of wall for him to build, which means that Wang Bricklayer and Zhao Hongli sandwiched Zhao Yunfei in the middle, so that even if Zhao Yunfei builds slowly, it will not affect the progress of the project, and the two of them can pick him up.

In this way, Zhao Yunfei began to work as a bricklayer!

Although the bricklayer work is also a technical job, it is far from being profound, as Zhao Honghong said, it is a skilled worker, and practice makes perfect if you do more, Zhao Yunfei has not done less tinkering at home, but he has never done it as formally as today, at the beginning of his heart was not at the bottom, and he became more and more comfortable doing it, he was already very smart, and his hands and feet were sharp, imitating the movements of the old bricklayer soon became decent.

Get off work at 12 o'clock at noon, there is an hour of eating time, the owner's family does not care about food, if you drive a three-horse carriage home to eat, it costs fuel and trouble, it is better to eat fried dough sticks and old tofu in a street stall, two yuan and six fritters, a bowl of old tofu for five cents a piece, so that you can eat a total of three yuan and five cents, everyone eats and pays their own accounts, which is also regarded as AA system.

Although three yuan and five cents are not much, Zhao Yunfei is now penniless, and he doesn't even have the money to buy a fritter, his character will definitely not open his mouth to borrow money from others, so he said to Zhao Honghong that he went to school and ate on the way, in fact, he neither went to school nor eaten, but just walked around the street and came back.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yunfei continued to work, the bowl of fried cakes that Zhao Yunfei ate in the morning had already been consumed by these physical work, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, he was very hungry.

When the sun was about to set, the wall was already nearly one man high, and the scaffolding was erected with tripods, iron pipes and wooden planks, and the workers climbed to the scaffolding to continue the construction, and estimated that they could finish the work by building three more layers.

Speaking of these workers, the two small workers are two people, the man's name is Ergou, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, generations of poor peasants, has never gone to school for a day, because of the poverty of the family, malnutrition since childhood, so the stature is particularly short, thin as if a gust of wind can blow him away, long time outside the wind and sun work, the face is tanned like an African.

Ergou is easy-going, has always been the object of ridicule of the workers, don't look at his family conditions are not good, but handed over the peach blossom luck, took a good daughter-in-law, this daughter-in-law not only has a good personality, good looks, but also is not dislike Ergou, wholeheartedly and Ergou life, therefore, the men in the village to Ergou that called a jealousy and hatred, envy Ergou's daughter-in-law is gentler and kinder than his daughter-in-law; The ass is big, how can I find such a good daughter-in-law with Ergou, how can Ergou's daughter-in-law fall in love with Ergou, it is really a flower inserted in the cow dung, and this cow dung is still the dung pulled out by a cow with hemorrhoids.

No, the slightly younger mason's mouth has not been idle this afternoon, and he has been making fun of the two dogs.

Ergou is used to being bullied, he doesn't care at all, and sometimes he has two sentences, just like saying cross talk, his mantra is: "What can you do with two sentences?"

Speaking of the appearance of Ergou's daughter-in-law, it can definitely be regarded as a superior posture in the countryside, which also complains that those men in the village envy Ergou, especially those men who are still single, and their eyes are so envious that their eyes are green.

As the saying goes: the leftover women are in the cities, and the leftover men are in the countryside. In remote rural areas, there are more men and fewer women, and the imbalance between men and women is serious, and many men are already very content if they can marry a daughter-in-law, how dare they choose the appearance of their daughter-in-law, and those bachelors often hang on their lips a sentence is: Some touch, some sleep, let the county magistrate not go; some sleep, some touch, the waist is too much!

Ergou can marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking.

Ergou's daughter-in-law's temperament is similar to Zhao Yunfei's, they are all taciturn, no matter how others make fun of her that day, she doesn't reply a word, just works with her head bored.

There is a saying: men and women match, work is not tired. Tease the little daughter-in-law has always been the biggest fun thing for the big men in the contractor team, this mason has always wanted to tease the second dog daughter-in-law to speak, but this daughter-in-law is very ethical, just ignore him.

A woman who doesn't like to talk will look mysterious, a beautiful woman who doesn't like to talk will be more mysterious, and it can also stimulate men's desire to hunt for curiosity and beauty.

"Hey, Ergou, to be honest, how many times did you come with your daughter-in-law that night you entered the cave room?" said to Ergou with a lewd smile, but his eyes glanced at Ergou's daughter-in-law.
