Unexpectedly, Lao Wang here is also not simple. Su Qi is confused and determined not to go along with the crowd: "Brother Wang, what vibrator are you talking about? How come this little brother doesn't understand!"

"Ayin, you are still young. You will understand when you grow up a little bit!"

With a long sigh, Lao Wang, who couldn't find a confidant, immediately returned to the essence of work: "Let's start working. Your task today is very simple. I will find someone to teach you how to cut steel bars. Just cut as long as you want and pay attention to safety!"

Cutting steel bars is a simple job. It takes some time for ordinary people to adapt to the cutting force, but it is not a problem for Su Qi. He immediately mastered the skills and became a skilled worker.

In addition, this is a very simple job, so everyone doesn't care.

Zizizizi!

The cutting gears turned, sparks flew everywhere, and long steel bars were cut into required lengths. After one steel bar was cut, another one was added. When a certain number was accumulated, someone would come and take it away immediately for the second process. It would be bent into hooks in a bending machine, and then transported to the roof, tied into frame columns, and then carpenters supported the formwork to finalize the shape, and then concrete workers poured concrete to become the backbone of the high-rise building.

One, two...

At first, Su Qi was still counting the number of steel bars, but in the end, he was a little numb and forgot to count unconsciously. He just mechanically and monotonously repeated this boring action, cutting one after another in a reciprocating cycle.

After working for two hours, it was lunch time.

Take out the rice bowl that has been prepared long ago, and follow everyone to the dining room to get food; the food is not exquisite, but there are fish and meat, and the portion is sufficient to fill you up; after getting a bowl of food, find Jiang Ge and Jiang Sao’s seat, the three of them gather together to eat and chat, a lunch is over, and then everyone takes a short break and starts working again in the afternoon.

The afternoon work was the same as the morning work, and they continued to cut steel bars until the sun went down, and then they finished their day's work.

Following the flow of people to the canteen, after lunch, they went to the simple bathhouse to take a cold shower. When Su Qi returned to the mobile cabin with rows of iron bed frames, he saw people gathered in groups of three or five, either playing cards or chatting about family matters. Some old smokers gathered together to puff out clouds of smoke; the smell of sweat, foot odor, and smoke in the room mixed together to form a complex smell that made people frown.

"This is the real life at the bottom of society. They have paid the hardest labor, but they have to live in the worst environment!"

With a touch of melancholy in his heart, Su Qi smiled and refused his colleague's request to play cards. He climbed onto the upper bunk, opened the mat and lay down, looking like he was overworked and needed to rest. However, his spirit was scattered around, and everything around him was included in his perception.

"Three twos with a pair, king bomb, double, give me money, give me money!"

"Hey, you are still good at giving skills. It's easy for a big worker to make 400 yuan a day, but we, the small workers, only make more than 200 yuan a day!"

"How many children do you have? I have two children in my hometown, one boy and one girl, but they are not good at school. If they can't get into college in a few years, they will have to go out to work!"

"In today's society, even if you get into college, it doesn't matter. You still have to find a job, and many college students can't find a job. How many jobs do you find that are higher than our salary in construction, so it doesn't matter whether you go to school or not!"

"Mom and Dad, how are you doing recently? It's okay as long as you are healthy. Just buy whatever you want to eat. I earn hundreds of dollars a day. How much can you spend at home? Don't worry, I will go back when the wheat is harvested, take care of yourself!"

"Yingying, how are you doing in school recently? How are your grades? I called your class teacher. How did you hear that you are in love? You are only fifteen years old. It's okay to have a boyfriend so early. Okay? You have to focus on studying. If you can't get into college in the future, you will have to work hard for me like your mother. Have you ever thought about our life? You have to work hard! "

"Baby, do you miss your mother? Listen to your grandparents at home, listen to your teachers at school, and study hard. When your mother comes back, she will buy you new clothes. You must be good. Your mother is making money for you!"

"Hey, it's been three months since I paid you. And every time I go to withdraw money, Brother Gui is not so efficient. Although we have followed Brother Gui for a long time and know that Brother Gui is reliable, what's his situation now? Why is he delaying the salary for so long!"

"Don't worry, you still don't believe in Brother Gui. How can he shortchange us? This community has not been developed yet, and there are still a lot of projects waiting to be done. Brother Gui will definitely not shortchange us!"

"Hey, my child should get married, but the woman wants 200,000 yuan. We have borrowed all the money from relatives and friends, but we still haven't raised enough. How can we get married now? We should have given a big gift when we got married.Meat is enough!"

"Work until the end of the year and get the money, then go back to the town and buy a house. Now everyone in our place has moved to the town, and there is no one in our hometown. A house costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. After buying a house, all the savings I have saved for most of my life are gone."

Noisy voices were heard, some were playing cards and landlords, some were discussing wages and salaries, some were discussing children's issues, some were calling their parents at home, some were talking about their children's early love, some were not paid recently and were worried about the future salary, some were worried about their children's marriage, and some mentioned urban integration and migration. There were many problems, all of which involved basic survival issues such as children's education and parents' retirement.

Su Qi listened and frowned.

Although he did not use the cosmic eye to see the future of these people, most of them could be predicted; the couple went out to earn money, the parents and children stayed behind, and the elderly could still take care of themselves, but the children lacked parental love, and their psychology was prone to change. Education would most likely become a problem, except for a very small number of smart children. , most of them will not make it to the end in the future, and they will have to go out to work in their teens. Since they have no knowledge and lack skills, they can only do limited jobs, which are basically low-level jobs, and their future will be the same as their parents.

This goes on for one generation after another. After three generations, a class will be formed, and the social classes will gradually solidify. It will be more difficult for the children's children to make a name for themselves, and they will still have the same fate as now.

However, in order to survive, they have to do so; after all, if they can't get through now, how can they have a future!

"No wonder those Taoist masters are unwilling to practice in the world of mortals. The world of mortals erodes people's hearts. If they fall into it carelessly, not only will their practice fail, but they will also fall into this vortex and it will be difficult to transcend! "

All kinds of thoughts accumulated in his heart, gradually becoming a heavy weight, making Su Qi extremely uncomfortable. The continuous circulation of the five qi was also stagnant. He could not help but be alert. After a moment, he frowned and pondered for a long time, then smiled: "Everything in the world is inherently unequal, just like rabbits are born to be caught by eagles, tigers are born not to be the king of beasts, and people are born the same. Some are born in rich families, some are born in poor families, and some are born handsome, some are born ugly, some are smart, some are dull, some are hardworking, some are lazy, some are strong, some are cowardly, some are impulsive, and some are calm. These many differences will inevitably lead to different destinies, and destiny is actually a choice and judgment based on existing conditions and external environment. If you make the right choice, you will get more money, material, family, love, and friendship. If you make the wrong choice, you will suffer more! ”

In a trance, the flow of vital energy in his body calmed down, and Su Qi fell asleep unconsciously. It was the first time he really fell asleep since he started practicing.

When the sun rose, another day of work began.

The next day, Su Qi continued to cut steel bars. After cutting for three consecutive days, he went to the bending machine on the fourth day to be responsible for steel bar hook extraction. He worked with Master Zhang for five days, and then began to weld steel bars with Master Li. Then he followed Master Liao to tie steel bars. In just half a month, Su Qi followed five masters and learned all the work that steel bar workers can do.

Originally thought that it was the neighbor Wang who cultivated him, but after learning all these jobs, Su Qi suddenly found that he had become a firefighter.

Because steel bar workers are too hard, there has always been a shortage of manpower. When Su Qi became a full-time worker, he would let him go wherever there was a shortage of people. He could do the work of two or three people. Finally, after working for 20 days, his salary increased from a laborer's salary to a salary of 100 yuan. The salary was raised to that of a skilled worker, and because he was a steel bar worker, his salary was even higher, 400 yuan a day, directly exceeding that of the leader, Lao Jiang.

However, Lao Jiang did not mind it. After all, steel bar workers worked hard, and Su Qi was the person he brought with him. He was very proud of his ability.

In the past twenty years, Su Qi devoted himself to the identity of a steel bar worker, forgetting everything in the past, and completely hypnotizing himself into a steel bar worker, repeating this monotonous and boring work day after day. At night, he gradually got used to listening to the various voices of the people. Gradually, the whole person seemed to have become a real construction worker. The original passion in his heart gradually calmed down, and the five qi in his body became more and more peaceful, with a trend of endless and continuous flow.

It was another early morning. Su Qi stretched his waist and went out to see a group of people gathered together. He greeted them with a hoarse voice: "Brother Wang, it's time to work!"

The tall and burly Lao Wang waved his hand, and said with a red face and some seriousness: "Ayin, we won't work today. "

The rest of the people also looked at Su Qi seriously, including Lao Jiang and his wife. As if they were in line with Lao Wang's proposal, they all nodded solemnly and said that they planned not to go to work today!

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Su Qi was a little surprised and said: "Not going to work, is it possible that today is a holiday!"

"It's not a holiday, it's a strike!"

Old Wang said with a gloomy face, and his voice was high: "Ayin, you have only been here for less than a month, and you may not understand some things. We have been here since the beginning of the year, and it has been three or four months now, but we haven't seen a penny now, and Brother Gui is not as efficient as before when we need money to withdraw money, and there are many urgent needs, and we can't pay all the money. Brother Gui never did this before. I don't know if Brother Gui has any problems. If he really can't pay the salary, it would be useless for us to continue working. After all, we have families, parents, wives and children to support. If Brother Gui really has problems and has no money, wouldn't we be working in vain? "
