Zou Liang, who was sitting behind Zhao Yunfei, saw this scene with a surprised expression, and thought to himself, it turned out that Zhao Yunfei was a friend of Zhang Shigang and Yu Xuewen, fortunately, he had abandoned his previous enmity with Zhao Yunfei, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat if he provoked Zhang Shigang again...... Of course, he also knows very well that Zhao Yunfei himself is not easy to mess with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the evening, the mountain village is lit up, and the light of the stars is revealed in the shade of the trees, and from a distance, the whole mountain village exudes a faint halo of light, which makes the village appear quiet and serene.

The mountain behind the mountain village looked like a dark giant, standing there with an incomparably powerful force, looking down on the village, as if it might crush the village under its feet with its huge body at any time.

"In the darkness of the mountain, how many secrets are hidden?" Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but think when he stared at the mountain in the northwest in the evening. Especially that day, when he saw the fireball flying out of a certain place in the northwest valley, he was even more sure that there must be something in that valley -- he had never told anyone about it, mainly because his own character did not like to talk nonsense, on the other hand, he felt that even if he said it to others, people would not believe it.

"When you have time, you must go over and take a look!" Zhao Yunfei secretly planned in his heart, he didn't want to hold such an unsolvable knot in his heart all the time.

......

Han Tuo's family came to relatives, he didn't come to exercise at night, Zhao Yunfei had eaten, and was writing homework on the round table in the house alone, Xiao Ji was lying on the kang and flipping through her picture book, at this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the gate: "Yunfei, look at the dog!"

With the shouting, Xiao Hei shouted "Wangwang", and made an offensive gesture one by one, not letting the man enter the courtyard.

Zhao Yunfei heard the dog barking and knew that someone was coming, opened the door and came out, turned on the door light and shouted, "Who!"

When Xiao Hei saw his master come out, the dog barked even more happily.

"It's me, your third brother!" replied.

Zhao Yunfei heard the voice of Zhao Honghong, the foreman of the contractor, and hurriedly drank Xiao Hei and greeted him, Xiao Hei immediately understood the master's intentions, and ran to the side with his tail wagged.

Zhao Honghong rolled into the yard with a cigarette in his mouth, Zhao Yunfei stepped forward and shouted: "Third brother is here!" politely let Zhao Honghong into the house.

Entering the house, Zhao Hongli sat on the edge of the kang with his butt, Xiao Ji got off the ground from the kang, and shouted at Zhao Hongli very obediently: "Third brother." ”

"The older Xiao Ji gets, the more out he gets!" Zhao Hong rubbed Xiao Ji's hair with his rough big hand and said with a smile, and suddenly saw Zhao Yunfei's TV at a glance, and said in surprise: "Ah, such a big TV, when did you buy it?"

Zhao Honghong was also in the year when Zhao Yunfei's father had an accident, Zhao Yunfei's family only came to his house a few times to repair the house, and he never came again, mainly because he did not have anything to do with his family, and he also had to avoid suspicion, after all, Zhao Yunfei had no father, and the orphans and widows in the family were easy to provoke gossip.

"Oh, a few days ago," Zhao Yunfei replied vaguely when he heard the question. took a glass and made a cup of tea for Zhao Hongli.

"We don't have a few TVs of this size in the whole village, they are still flat, can you afford such a big TV?" Zhao Hongli's family lives in the east of the village, which is far away from Zhao Yun's house, so he doesn't know the origin of Zhao Yunfei's TV.

Nowadays, the customs of the countryside are like this, as long as there is a decent large electrical appliance in the house, it will be impressed by the neighbors, therefore, many rural families like to put electrical appliances in a conspicuous place, the TV is placed in the living room that is reasonable, and appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines are often placed in one place as decorations and TVs, so the living room is much more magnificent...... Even the newly bought rice cooker will sit at the door of the living room for a few days.

"It was a ...... from a relative" Zhao Yunfei said helplessly, he didn't want Zhao Honghong to think that he was rich, if he was really rich, there would be no need to be tired and tired as a small worker.

"Oh......" Zhao Honghong's eyes stared at the TV, and the surprised expression on his face gradually disappeared, and said, "Your relatives are wide enough to send such a valuable thing." ”

Zhao Yunfei smiled wryly and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too poor......

Hearing Zhao Yunfei's words, Zhao Honghong took his eyes off the shiny big TV, swept around the house, and found that except for the TV, there was not even a decent furniture in the house, and the house had no ceiling, revealing the smoke-blackened wooden purlins, and there was no living room and bedroom in the house, and a large earthen kang occupied one-third of the house......

Zhao Hongli immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Yunfei's words, took a puff of cigarette, and thought to himself: "Send a TV, this costs a lot of electricity, why don't you send some ......money" With Zhao Honghong's experience, of course this kind of naïve words will not be spoken.

"Third brother, is there a job?" Zhao Yunfei's face was full of hope, he knew that the foreman was a busy man, and he would never come to his house to hang out if he had nothing to do.

"There's work, there is a family in the town that wants to build a fence, and the construction will start tomorrow, can you go?" Zhao Hongli rubbed the cigarette ash on the edge of the kang and said.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said without hesitation: "I can go!"

For Zhao Yunfei, who is in this situation now, there is no room for consideration in this matter - he is really short of money now!

If you only rely on Saturday and Sunday to load the brick factory, even if you work for a whole month, I am afraid that you will not even be able to earn Xiaoji's tuition, let alone achieve the goal of upgrading to "coolie".

And the prize money of the Five Dragons Competition, even if you are lucky, you can get the 500 yuan bonus, but it is a source of water, and the 500 yuan is gone, and if you want to earn it, you have to wait until next year......

Speaking of which, only doing small jobs is a long-term solution, if Zhao Hongfeng is kind and gives him a salary of forty yuan a day, it is eighty yuan for two days, and one hundred and two for three days, this amount is still very considerable, even if it is worth skipping school for this reason.

"Brother, I didn't say you," Zhao Hongli retracted his gaze from looking at the room, looked at Zhao Yunfei, and said in a posture of a leader: "I look at the situation in your family, in fact, your school is not a matter of both, you brothers and sisters have to eat, don't you?"

Speaking of the contract foreman, the job is not something that anyone can do, in the countryside is a capable person, leading a group of people to find food, the size is also a leader, as a contract foreman, first of all, we must understand the world, good at dealing with all kinds of disputes, because in the countryside to engage in construction, there are more troublesome things, all kinds of feng shui, all kinds of customs, what your house can not be higher than my house, what your window can not be facing the door of my house...... And so on, these disputes often need to be mediated by the contractor, and the professional knowledge of the contractor must also be comprehensive, bricklayers, carpenters, reinforcing steel workers, electricians, plumbing, quality inspection, etc., these technical things must be understood, so as to suppress the people under them.

The profession of the contractor is actually very comparable to that of the "white bone spirit" in big cities, and isn't the "white bone essence" called white-collar workers, backbones, and elites? The three words "contract foreman" can also be understood as contracting, technology, and leadership, and in fact they are rural white-collar workers with relatively strong overall quality and management ability, and of course their incomes are also high; the bricklayer can earn 80 yuan a day, and the contractor earns 120 yuan a day.

Although Zhao Yunfei did not agree with the view that the contractor "is not good at learning", he could not refute him face-to-face, because the authority of the contractor was very great, and what he said was always correct for both big and small workers, so Zhao Yunfei responded: "What you said is also reasonable, and I am also thinking about it." ”

Zhao Hongli heard Zhao Yunfei say this, so he nodded, and continued: "Don't care what you say, we are all the same ancestors and the same ancestry, a melon on a vine, why do you have to think about it for your brothers and sisters, don't you say? So, tomorrow the owner of the town will start the construction of the wall, I plan to let you be a big apprentice, and you don't need to be a special apprentice, when the time comes, I will let the old bricklayer take you, young people learn things quickly, and it won't take a few days to get started, do you think this will be successful?"

Zhao Honghong's plan, on the one hand, is indeed for Zhao Yunfei's sake, and on the other hand, it is actually for himself - he is now short of people under his hands, to be precise, he is short of big jobs!

The work of a bricklayer can be described in three words - dirty, tired, and dirty.

Let's talk about dirty first, the bricklayer has to deal with bricks and cement, even if the person is clean and neat, he will rub some cement ideas on his body after a day's work, and the wind, sun, and rain outside all year round make him look like an African.

Tired, although the big work is easier than the small work, but this day bending down to take bricks, digging mortar more than a thousand times, if not a day worker but a contract work, the contractor keeps an eye on it, this set of operations will have to do more than 2,000 times, than the small worker is not easy to go anywhere.

Soil, bricklayer is an ancient profession, the old generation is to use loess mud to build walls, now although progress, cement mortar has replaced the loess mud, but for the bricklayer, the essence has not changed much, is still the industry that is not respected, is still those who can never do the end of the boring manual labor, and foreign, bullish, beautiful, fashionable these terms are not touched.

Bricklayer, the meaning of invisibility is - soil, no culture!

Based on the above reasons, many young people in rural areas are now reluctant to choose this profession, but choose to work in factories, so that there will be more opportunities for development and it will be easier to make friends of the opposite sex.

The consequence of this is that there are fewer and fewer bricklayers, and those who are still fighting on the bricklayers' front are basically some old bricklayers who are on the older side, and the grim situation of lack of succession and no successor has been clearly laid out in front of all the contractor leaders.

In addition, there is another reason that the wages of bricklayers in the countryside are too low, and many bricklayers with good skills and good health have gone to the big cities, and their income in the big cities is comparable to that of urban white-collar workers -- this is also an important reason for the decrease in the number of bricklayers in the countryside.

Being a bricklayer apprentice is, of course, a good thing for Zhao Yunfei that he can't ask for.
