Rebirth, Starting from 2005

At around ten o'clock in the morning, their car arrived at the bus station in Xiaorong Town, and then they took another bus.

This is a real estate under construction, with a large area surrounded by a fence.

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

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

A pond of more than one mu was dug in the middle of that real estate. According to the practice of the real estate industry, this pond is honored as a lake, and the name of the real estate is Yuhuyuan.

When they came here, the contractor personally came to greet them, welcomed them, and then took them to the dormitory—a row of temporary iron houses, where there were still some vacant beds.

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

Food is provided here, but it is not free. Three yuan will be deducted for a meal, which will be deducted from the wages.

Working here, in principle, the more you work, the more you get. You get paid for every day you work. If you do more work, you will be paid more. When there is no work to do, you will have no money.

You can choose to settle daily, do one day’s work and settle one day’s money, but this is a temporary worker, and the labor remuneration will be lower, which is equivalent to 70% to 80% of the normal rate.

In addition, the safety guarantee is also worse.

The contractor suggested that they continue to work here for a long time.

According to him, if you work here for a long time, your income will be higher.

But he also explained one thing, the salary settlement will be a bit later, it depends on when the boss will settle the payment for them.

If there is an urgent need for money, you can advance it from him. It seems that you can advance two to three hundred yuan a month.

He couldn't afford any more.

Unable to receive their wages in time, the attitudes of the enthusiastic teenagers became different.

The same goes for Feng Chen.

He was also counting on buying a better mobile phone after working for two months.

The contractor saw their expressions and knew what they were thinking, so he laughed and said:

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with paying your wages later. You are all too young, and you will inevitably spend recklessly when you get the money. After a year of hard work, you haven't saved any money. Why don't you come out for a while? Wouldn't it be better to store that money here, distribute it together, and take tens of thousands of dollars home for the New Year?"

Feng Chen said, "What if we don't give it until later?"

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

"Look at these buildings. Those who can afford these buildings won't be able to afford our wages? The buildings are here, are you afraid that he won't pay you? People can escape, but buildings can't."

Yan Xin didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart:

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

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

It is said that this guy's wife gave him two daughters. He was unhappy and took care of another young woman outside. This winter, that woman gave birth to a son, and then he took the money to marry that woman Fly away.

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

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

Later, it seemed that he was imprisoned. Yan Xin didn't remember exactly how many years he was sentenced.

Many years later, I heard the story about this contractor again—after he was released from prison, he went to find the woman who gave birth to him a son, and found that the woman was married, and he also knew a more broken thing. Her son, through DNA identification, is not his, but her current husband's.

Yan Xin was able to hear this story not only because the contractor was from the same county as them, but also because the story ended with a massacre where the contractor killed the family and then committed suicide.

This contractor was in his forties, and his appearance still retained the simplicity of a farmer. No one could have imagined that such an honest and honest person would actually take away everyone's hard-earned money.

It was even more unexpected that just such a person would end up committing a massacre of people.

Appearances are too deceptive.

The contractor's words dispelled the doubts of those teenagers, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable.

Anyway, I will give you the money, and there is no problem if it is later.

They have also asked about the wages of Lao Wang's factory. In the case of ten hours a day, it is basically about 1,000, with or without food.

And on this construction site, you can basically earn more than 1,000 a month. If you can start working every day and work harder, you can earn more than 2,000 a month.

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

The contractor also said: "You just came out, you don't have any money, and you can't find a job in a day or two. You can stay and work for a while, and you can go out to find a job if you don't start work on rainy days. It doesn't delay anything, what do you say?"

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

I couldn't find a job, and the daily food and lodging was a big expense, and that little money wouldn't last long.

The teenagers all nodded, indicating that the contractor was right.

Yan Xin knew about the future, but he couldn't tell it, and no one would believe it. When it really happens in the future, others will treat him as a monster.

He didn't contradict himself, but said to Lao Wang alone after eating: "Brother Wang, I'm not in good health, and I probably can't do work on the construction site. I want to go out and look for a job."

Lao Wang sized him up, he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and his figure was indeed a bit thin.

But compared with his peers, he is relatively strong.

I thought to myself: "You probably don't have poor physical fitness, but you are lazy?"

I really feel a little uncomfortable for the introduction fee of 100 yuan less.

But he also knows that lazy people can't persist in this construction site, if they keep him today, they won't be able to keep him tomorrow.

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

"Security." Yan Xin didn't hide anything.

"Why do you want to be a security guard?" Pharaoh wondered, "Although the security job 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'."

Young people want to save face, it is not easy to say that they are lazy and don't want to do heavy work, so they thought about it and said:

"Mainly, since I was a child, I have admired those soldiers who defended their homes and the country. I think they are the real heroes. Although I can't be a soldier, I can be a security guard and protect the safety of a community. That's considered fulfilling." My childhood dream."
