Chapter 9 Childhood Dream

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, their car arrived at Xiaorong Town Bus Station, and then they took the bus again, changing buses again in the middle, going around in circles, and arrived at the construction site around 11 o'clock.

This is a real estate under construction, with a large area of ​​land enclosed and fenced.

There are currently six buildings under construction, which are part of the first phase of this 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 under construction.

A pond of more than an acre was dug in the middle of that property. According to the practice of the real estate industry, the pond was respectfully called a lake, and the property was named Yuhu Garden.

When they arrived, the contractor came to greet them personally, welcomed their arrival, and then took them to the dormitory - a row of temporary iron rooms where there were some spare beds.

After letting them put their luggage in the dormitory, we 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 from the salary for a meal.

When working here, in principle, the more you work, the more you get. If you work a day, you will get more money. If you do more work, you will get more money. When there is no work to do, there will be no money.

You can choose daily settlement and work one day's work to get one day's pay, but this is a temporary job and the labor remuneration will be lower, which is equivalent to 70 to 80% of the normal rate.

In addition, the safety protection is also poor.

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 one thing he also explained is that wages will be settled later, depending on when the boss pays them.

If you need money urgently, you can get an advance from him. You can get an advance of about two to three hundred yuan a month.

He couldn't afford any more.

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

The same goes for Feng Chen.

He was still looking forward to buying a better mobile phone after working for two months.

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

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with being paid a little later. You are all too young. You will inevitably spend money randomly after you get the money. When the time comes, you have worked hard for a year and have not saved any money. Isn't this just a trip?

Wouldn’t it be better to keep the money here and distribute it together when the time comes, and go home with tens of thousands of dollars to celebrate the New Year?”

Feng Chen said: "What if we delay it and don't give it to you?"

The contractor laughed and pointed to several buildings under construction outside:

"Look at these buildings. Who can afford to build these buildings? How can he get less of the wages we have? The building is here, why are you afraid that he won't pay? People can run away, but the building cannot run away."

Yan Xin didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart:

"The building can't run, but you can run."

In his memory, when it came to wage arrears, the contractor took the money and ran away.

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

Fly far 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 it all in gambling and could not get it back.

Later, it seemed that he was imprisoned. Yan Xin couldn't remember the exact number of years.

Many years later, I heard another story about this contractor - after he was released from prison, he went to find the woman who gave birth to his son, and found that the woman was already married. He also learned something even more devastating: the woman gave birth to a son.

Her son, through DNA identification, was not his, but her current husband's.

Yan Xin could hear this story not only because the contractor was from the same county as them, but also because at the end of the story, there was a massacre of a family. The contractor killed the family and then committed suicide.

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

It was even more unthinkable that such a person would end up committing murderous crimes that killed a whole family.

The appearance is so deceiving.

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

The money will be given anyway, so there is no problem if it is delayed.

They also asked Lao Wang about the salary in the factory. If he works more than ten hours a day, it is basically about one thousand, including room and board.

On this construction site, you can basically earn more than a thousand a month. If you can work every day and work harder, you can earn more than two thousand a month.

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

The contractor added: "You have just come out and don't have much money. You can't find a job in a day or two. You can stay and work for a while. If it rains and doesn't start working, you can go out and look for a job. That's it."

It won’t delay anything, don’t you think?”

When they go out to look for a job, everyone brings some money with them, but the loan amount is really not much, the most is only a thousand yuan.

Without finding a job, daily food and accommodation cost a lot of money, and even that little money wouldn't last long.

The teenagers all nodded, indicating that what the contractor said made sense.

Yan Xin knows about the future, but he has no way to tell it, and others won't believe it. When it happens in the future, others will treat him as a monster.

He did not play devil's advocate, but after eating, he said to Lao Wang alone: ​​"Brother Wang, my physical fitness is not good. I probably can't do the work on the construction site. I want to find a job."

Lao Wang looked at him and saw that the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy was indeed a bit thin.

But compared to his peers, he is relatively strong.

I thought to myself: "Maybe you are not in poor physical condition, but you are lazy, right?"

I feel a little uncomfortable because I have to pay a hundred yuan less for the introduction fee.

But he also knows that a lazy person cannot persist on this construction site. If he is retained today, he will not be retained tomorrow.

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

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

"Why do you want to be a security guard?" Lao Wang wondered. "Although the security guard's 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 here just for this 'although'."

Young people want to save face, so it’s hard to say that they are lazy and don’t want to do heavy work, so they said after careful consideration:

"The main thing is, I have admired those soldiers who protect our country since I was a child. 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 is considered a success.

My childhood dream."

Today, this book has an operating officer - Sangza - a beautiful young lady with rich experience and outstanding abilities. Everyone must support her, she deserves everyone's love.

At the same time, I also hope that everyone can share some of their love for the operation lady with the author and vote for this book - for the sake of the operation lady.

The author is almost starving to death...
