Foolish Man

At the beginning, Zhang Fugui was vigilant when Xiao Qi proposed to ask for workers, but after Xiao Qi poked him to make him more clearly aware of the status quo that he had no other choice, then he put out a suit for him. With the posture of the job, the old fried dough sticks such as Zhang Fugui couldn't help but stand at Xiao Qi's position and thought about it, and finally vaguely felt a little ashamed of Ji Feng who had just hidden in his words.

In all fairness, if Zhang Fugui was in the position of Xiao Qi, he would not be sure when he would receive the next job. There were still a few workers in his hand to support, but also to ensure that there was work for the workers. If you leave, you can still separate work to let others arrange for workers to come in. It must be impossible.

Zhang Fugui reflected for a while, sighed and patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder, and then thanked Xiao Qi very sincerely, "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about, brother, can I still believe you?"

Although he was very moved, he still had to embarrass the brothers. Zhang Fugui directly sent a dozen people to Xiao Qi's hands.

Xiao Qi's face was suddenly embarrassed, "I have too many people..."

Zhang Fugui stood up and patted his butt, "Don't worry, I will definitely call someone back in a few days."

The people are sent there first, and the workers will eat their food wherever they work. Will they be called back in a few days? Who knows? Zhang Fugui didn't know it anyway.

The big boss is so difficult, it is certainly impossible to compromise in a few days.

Xiao Qi stood up and reluctantly nodded in embarrassment.

Since it is necessary to employ people, it must be Xiao Qi's own selection.

Xiao Qi secretly stared at some people when he was here. During this time, he occasionally came to contact these people.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to sway and show special attention to these people. After all, most of this group of people are Zhang Fugui’s fellow villagers. If what he did here is too obvious, the workers can also face Zhang Fugui in order to return to his hometown in the future. If you can go, you will definitely keep a distance from Xiao Qi to avoid being caught by Zhang Fugui.

When choosing people, Xiao Qi immediately became polite, and gave way to Zhang Fugui, and then thirteen people were considered to be the ones picked together by the two.

"Big Brother Zhang, I know you definitely want to arrange for people you trust and value first, but we can't do too much, otherwise other workers will definitely have opinions."

With such persuasion, Zhang Fugui also felt that Xiao Qi made sense, although the main reason he arranged for the manpower he trusted was to prevent Xiao Qi from taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts and pry the workers away.

So Xiao Qi naturally ordered a few people casually, and most of those people had a good relationship with Xiao Qi in the first place.

Those few people were spotted by Xiao Qi, and they looked at Xiao Qi unexpectedly, and then they were grateful.

The contractor here wants to stop work and force the big boss to take the money. It’s impossible for the workers underneath to hear nothing about it. After all, this construction site is just so big. Zhang Fugui must have his mouth tight, but where the big pot of rice is Zhang Fugui’s cooking. 'S sister-in-law is not necessarily.

After all, that was a woman with a big mouth and grinning all day long talking, and it was still very difficult for her to keep secrets.

The workers are obviously not in high mood these days, otherwise Zhang Fugui would not be desperate to drive the workers to the Xiaoqi construction site.

During this period of time, the money is not available, and the mother-in-law doll in her hometown has been holding a few dollars for two or three months. Even a man who does not care about his family anymore, he will be anxious if his cigarette is broken.

Now that the obvious work is going to be cut off, what should they do?

The boss can arrange for people to arrange for his cronies, and all ordinary workers have to stay behind.

When the boss arranged the people, it turned out to be the first confidant. The ordinary workers were already panicked and disappointed, but he did not expect Xiao Qi to change the direction of the wind after a few words, and finally ordered a few of them.

Those who were not spotted must be disappointed. Those who were spotted were immediately excited and thought to themselves that Xiaoqi had not forgotten them when he was developed. At the critical moment, he still remembered that a work shed had boasted and squatted on the road. Passing women's affection.

"You just follow Brother Xiao first. You can't be lazy and embarrass me on the construction site, you know?"

Zhang Fugui pretended to reprimand these thirteen people with a few words. This was to remind them that he was their boss.

Xiao Qi smiled calmly and nodded to the workers. When Zhang Fugui finished speaking, Xiao Qi raised his hand and patted Zhang Fuyou who was standing next to him, "If you pass by, you will divide the jobs of the elderly under my hands. I will appease them. At the same time, if there is any contradiction, you can tell me directly. The salary of the other road construction is not as good as that of the housing construction. Don’t mind if you let everyone earn a few days and low wages."

Zhang Fuyou knew Zhang Fugui was a cousin by looking at his name, Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder and talked, let alone Zhang Fugui, even Zhang Fuyou, who was mentioned by Zhang Fugui, didn't think much about it.

Compared with Zhang Fugui's reprimand, Xiao Qi's posture was more subtle.

However, it is difficult for people who are not standing in the position of workers to realize other meanings from these words. They only think that Xiao Qi is taking vaccinations and explain to the workers in advance.

However, in fact, those workers who had finally gotten this opportunity because of Xiao Qi were very sentimental in their hearts. First, they were grateful to Xiao Qi because they wronged the old man under his own hands, and secondly they lowered Lu Jian’s side. Psychological expectations.

After I personally realize that the low wages have led to a more fruitful life than they originally had in the housing construction side, this kind of mental activity of lowering expectations is a good preparation for the desire to promote and suppress.

Originally, they were all prepared to accept worse treatment, but in the past, people’s big pot of rice ate better than them, and the wages were all paid off after a period of time. The workers could also get the money in time for cooking by themselves. Going home to improve the lives of mothers-in-law and children, it feels much more beautiful than they used to be on the house construction site.

A strong contrast arises from this. If Zhang Fugui drags on for a while, can these people go back without hesitation after they have tasted the sweetness?

From start to finish, Xiao Qi didn't have to spend any money to attract and buy these people. He just wanted to use this zero-cost contrast to make the workers want to stay.

Lao Lai and the others saw Xiao Qi go out and brought thirteen people over, and they must have been nervous at first.

"Let’s watch here first, don’t talk about learning skills, but at least have a good understanding of the basic tools on our road construction side. After a while, they will go back to the yard together. You will squeeze it tonight. Hurry up tomorrow to do a good job in house affairs."

Xiao Qi put the dozen or so workers carrying blanket rolls on the paving slabs for the time being, and was not busy taking people to the place to arrange anything, let them see first.

Accommodation and meals are still a trivial matter. Xiao Qi asked the workers to come over, but when he arrived in captivity, he would drag him to the construction site and greet him.

Those Chen Dawu were workers from different villages in Zhang Fugui's hometown, and they were also the targets that Xiao Qi was aiming to recruit at the beginning.

Since Xiao Qi and the others had the opportunity to work, as soon as Xiao Qi gave orders at this moment, naturally he responded positively without saying a word.

As soon as the backpack was put in the shade, the thirteen workers were scattered. Two or three of them were walking around on the construction site or looking at the tools. Chen Dawu and the others joined in a discussion, and finally they looked serious. But Peng Laoliu, whose hands and feet are obviously more agile than others.

Without standing, a few people squatted not far away and stared at the little workers who mixed the mortar and the master workers who used the trowel to paste thick mortar on the foundation.

Xiao Qi turned around, observed the movements of these workers, and saw Chen Dawu and the four of them squatting over there, and his heart suddenly became happy.

Turning his head to look at other people, only occasionally glanced at him curiously, without paying special attention, Xiao Qi took a step and went to Lailao Zhang and the others.

Lao Zhang is leading people to mix the mortar, Lao Wang leads someone to deliver the mortar to Da Gong, while Lao Lai and Peng Lao Liu take people to tiling.

"Lao Zhang, you are old people. When you work, talk a little bit about the points that you should pay attention to when you work."

Although Lao Zhang jumped off a bit, his brain was slippery. Xiao Qi didn't raise his eyebrows or wink his eyes. But when his eyes collided with Lao Zhang, he understood him and grinned, "I understand the boss!"

Mixing mortar is simple and simple, because just pour a bunch of raw materials and mix them together, then dig a hole in the middle of the water pipe and pour water into it, and the worker can mix it with a shovel.

It can be said to be difficult and difficult, because a well-controlled mortar can not only make the work stronger, but also save raw materials.

If it saves a lot, the foreman can sell it by himself if he wants the money. If he wants to please the big boss, he will return it to the big boss, so that the big boss can see that the foreman is indeed capable.

Which big double-package boss does not like this kind of foreman who can save himself material costs?

Xiao Qi is doing both. When calculating the raw materials, he saves more materials than other contractors. When the raw materials are on the construction site, there are more or less leftovers.

These extra Xiao Qi will let Gong Changjiang drive a tricycle to sell with him elsewhere, and then use the money to feed the workers afterwards. If the money is a little bit more, he will directly give them pocket money.

The workers have gained the sweetness, so they are naturally more attentive in this regard, and because they are grateful and respectful to the boss, Xiao Qi, they are also striving for excellence in quality and they dare not be a little negligent.

Using other people's money to buy people's hearts, Xiao Qi did this kind of thing smoothly.

He told Lao Zhang and Lai, and Xiao Qi still told him when he finally arrived at Peng Laoliu, but he gave Peng Laoliu a slightly different look.

Peng Laoliu is not so smooth, but recently, because of getting along with Lao Lai Lao Zhang and the others, Gong Changjiang chants a few words from time to time, which is not as rigid as before.

With the look in Xiao Qi's eyes, Peng Laoliu also understood that the boss was trying to recruit Chen Dawu and the others.

Although some do not trust Chen Dawu and the others, since it is the boss's intention, Peng Laoliu will also talk about the details of laying bricks when he bangs on the plastic hammer. The method changes and it is easy to adjust later. The flatness of the four corners and the like.

The new job also has the requirement of laying bricks, and relying on the few people in Xiao Qi's hands is definitely far from enough.

Not that Xiao Qi was going to take in a few small jobs every year and earn hundreds of thousands of people who would be satisfied. He would buy a house for hundreds of thousands, so he couldn't buy too much.

This time he was going to marry a wife and was planning to raise two children. When he thought about it, Xiao Qi felt anxious and wanted to make more money quickly.

In his heart, if he didn't make enough money to marry a wife and raise a child, he always felt that he didn't have a sense of security in his heart, as if he would not be able to support his family in a few minutes.

After work was over, Xiao Qi followed the workers back to the yard on the side of Licheng Village. There were too many people and the small tricycle would definitely not be able to ride, so Gong Changjiang and Lao Zhang rode the tricycle and pulled a bag of suitcases. Xiao Qi they walked back.

The Xicheng district is not too far away from the lotus pond, it takes half an hour to walk.

Seeing a dozen workers settled down temporarily, Xiao Qi had dinner with the workers again in the yard. Then he left the village in the city to go to the nearby bus station, took a bus tour, and returned home with sweat and dust.

Today, Ning Qian didn’t come here. When Xiao Qi took out the key and stabbed it into the keyhole, there was a sudden sense of loss in his heart, because he knew that when he opened the door, there was no warm light on, and no one was wearing a floral apron. He greeted the man with a smile while holding his hair.

Xiao Qi pressed his forehead against the metal anti-theft door, closed his eyes, and curled his lips with a self-deprecating smile. When could Xiao Qi be so awkward and crooked?

Reluctantly lifted the spirit to unscrew the door, first found the light switch on the wall, and slapped it to turn on the light.

In order to pretend that he was in high spirits and was not lost at all, Xiao Qi still slapped his palms with a smile on his face when he turned on the light switch, but the purpose was that no one picked it up and put it on the shoe cabinet and turned over a slipper. There is a vest on the floor of the living room that he threw down when he went to the bathroom to take a shower after exercising in the morning.

The bathroom door was ajar, and a section of the cyan fabric of shorts could be seen.

Xiao Qi couldn't smile anymore, and his pretentious eyes gradually calmed down.

He closed the door with his backhand, and Xiao Qi drooped his head down and put on his shoes and put on slippers. He went to the bathroom to wash away the sweat and dust on his body, and then casually pulled a large towel around his waist.

This towel is one of the items that Ning Qian has successively purchased for the family. She put her hand on the towel and pressed the side of the towel. Xiao Qi missed his rabbit even more.

He cooked the noodles in the kitchen in the morning, and the pots and bowls were habitually cleaned up, but because of the hasty walk, the water on the cooking table did not have time to dry.

The water dries out in a day, leaving only traces of dots or strips.

The phone rang in the bathroom, and Xiao Qi, who was standing in the kitchen staring at the traces for a long while, suddenly woke up, thinking that it might be Ning Qian's call at this point in time, and Xiao Qi's originally weak footsteps suddenly shook up again. .

"Hey Archie, are you home yet?"

"...Just returned."

Xiao Qi's lips moved, and there was a sense of grievance in her heart, "I don't have you at home."

Ning Qian on the other side of the phone was silent.

The author has something to say: The tiger took medicine Yang Wu outside and finally returned home, and then found that the rabbit at home was not there.

Big Tiger [Wronged Baba]: Where have you been Rabbit Rabbit?

Rabbit [faint look]: I heard the elephant say, have you seen the tigress with them?

Big Tiger [eyes flustered]:...Wh, how can there be such a thing! The same species is playing friends!

Rabbit [Throwing Mushroom Basket Angrily]: Ha ha, so nervous that the accent came out!

PS: Suddenly I feel sorry for Xiao Qi
