Reborn since 2005

Chapter 8 Xiaorong Town

The minibus arrived at the county seat, and then transferred to the city. When we arrived at the train station, it was not yet eleven o'clock. After queuing up to buy the tickets, it was only eleven-thirty when we came out.

Now is not the Spring Festival travel period, nor is it the prime holiday period. The passenger flow at the train station is not high, so it is quite easy to buy tickets.

They bought train tickets to Yangcheng. The train left at around 7pm and arrived at around 5am.

After arriving at Yangcheng Railway Station, take a long-distance bus to the nearby bus station until you reach your destination.

After buying the tickets, Lao Wang took them to a restaurant next to the train station for dinner.

There are many restaurants here, and the prices are a little more expensive than other places. However, no matter how expensive it is, it is much more conscientious than the box lunches on the train.

At least it's not that bad.

More than a dozen people joined in and had a meal at the restaurant. The teenagers were very considerate and didn't let Lao Wang pay for the share - he was the one who brought everyone out. He was required to guide them on many things, so they just gave them a meal.

It would be too unscrupulous for him to pay for it.

After finishing the meal, Lao Wang asked each of them to buy two buckets of instant noodles for their dinner and breakfast.

Instant noodles are not delicious, but at least they are better than the box lunches on the train, and they are also cheaper.

After wandering outside for a while, the waiting room was finally opened for their train, and they went inside.

Feng Chen sat with Yan Xin and said to him: "If I don't act like a bad person when I come out this time, I won't go back."

Yan Xin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you go back or not, just remember to send money back every month. Your sister is still waiting for you to earn her the money to study."

Feng Chen hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment:

"I may not send money back in the first two months. After receiving my salary, I want to buy a mobile phone first, so that it will be more convenient to contact my family."

Nowadays, mobile phones are not a new thing. There are some mobile phone users in their village.

Lao Wang, who brought them here, has a mobile phone, but he has never used it here. The roaming charges are too expensive, and it costs money to make or receive calls, which is a pain in the ass.

This thing has a fatal temptation for young people. In the past, now, and in the future, few young people can resist it.

In his previous life, Yan Xin went out to work, and he saved his first two months' salary to buy a mobile phone, which was a no-name brand.

He had no position to criticize Feng Chen, but just nodded: "If you work outside, it is indeed necessary to buy a mobile phone."

Thinking of the non-payment of wages at the construction site, I looked around and saw that no one from the village was around, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of job are you going to find when you get there?"

"Isn't it just moving bricks?" Feng Chen said, "What else can we do when we get to the construction site without any skills?"

"Why do we have to worry about the construction site?" Yan Xin said, "We can find another job."

Feng Chen was stunned for a moment: "Lao Wang took us to work at the construction site, but when we got there we went to find jobs elsewhere. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this?" Yan Xin said, "We just went out to work together, and we didn't say we had to work at his place."

They went out with Lao Wang, but that didn't mean they had to go to Lao Wang's construction site to work. They just had someone to look after them when they went out together, and they could also find jobs on their own.

Although Lao Wang hopes that they all go to work on construction sites, he also told them that this is not mandatory. Although working on construction sites makes more money, it is also very tiring and not everyone can do it.

If you want to get an introduction fee of 100 yuan per person, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must work at the construction site for a full month.

He didn't expect that the twelve people he brought there would all stay at the construction site and bring him referral fees.

It's good to stay. If you fulfill the favor of helping to introduce the job, you can also get an introduction fee of 100 yuan.

You can't stay, and he won't force you. We are all from the same place, and there is no need to become enemies just for a hundred yuan introduction fee.

In his previous life, Yan Xin just couldn't stand it after a day's work and chose to find another job. Lao Wang didn't blame him and told him where it would be easier to find a job and what kind of job would be easier to find.

Forget about other people, they are not familiar with them and can't care about them, but Yan Xin doesn't want Feng Chen to step into that pit.

He said to Feng Chen: "Working on a construction site is quite hard. With your size, I don't think you can handle it. It's better to find another job that's not so tiring."

It's hard for him to say that he knows that the construction site will default on wages to migrant workers in the future, so he can only say this.

Feng Chen thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's not that easy to find a job if you're unfamiliar with the place, isn't it? And didn't Lao Wang say that working on a construction site is a bit tiring, but you can earn more money?

Some, aren’t we here just to make money? What’s the point of being a little tired? I still want to give it a try.”

Yan Xin couldn't say more, so he could only say: "It's okay to give it a try, but I know my body can't handle it, and I will find another job when the time comes."

Feng Chen said with a smile: "Well, if you find a good job in the future and I can't continue working on the construction site, I will join you."

Yan Xin smiled: "Then it's settled."

What needs to be said has been said, and if Feng Chen doesn't listen, there's nothing he can do.

If you continue talking, if it reaches Lao Wang's ears, I'm afraid he will have opinions.

——He can choose not to work at the construction site and choose to go out to find a job on his own, but if he encourages others to not work at the construction site, it would be a bit of a blow to Lao Wang's job.

They waited in the waiting room all afternoon for the train to arrive at around 7 o'clock, and ticket checking began at around 6 o'clock.

They are all hard-seat tickets. If you buy tickets together, the seats are next to each other. This is good, at least it is safer.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening when they went to pick up the instant noodles and had a meal in the car.

Sitting on a hard seat all night is a bit torture, but everyone is young, even the oldest, Lao Wang, is only in his thirties, so they can withstand the hardship.

What's more, by the next day, at dawn, we had already arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station.

A group of people carried large and small bags out of the train station, walked to the bus station not far away, and then bought tickets to their destination.

While waiting for the bus in the waiting room, I ate another bucket of instant noodles for breakfast and didn't get on the bus until 8:20.

The place they are going to is Xiaorong Town, Fengcheng District (to avoid unnecessary trouble, the real place name is not included).

There are many banyan trees in that town, hence the name.

Although it is just a town, this town has several nationally renowned companies, and its prosperity is far more prosperous than their county seat, and is not even worse than their city.

In his previous life, Yan Xin stayed in this town for several years and worked as a security guard for several years.

Later, he married Feng Xi. Because Feng Xi worked in an electronics factory in Pengcheng, he followed him to Pengcheng and worked as a security guard there for half a year. He couldn't make any money, so he started delivering food.

He was quite familiar with this place after spending several years there.

There were many familiar people there, and some things he could never forget happened.

When I left, I thought I would never come back again in this life, but I didn't expect that I would be reborn and come here again.

I wonder if those people and things will have a different development trajectory from his previous life because of his rebirth.

He has some expectations.
