Foolish Man

The hardening of the factory took half a month before preparing to pave the concrete. This work took several days. After Xiao Qi and Ning Qian sent the workers the next morning, taking advantage of the early days of the weather, he went on a trip again. The head of the West Bridge in Xicheng District.

The West Bridge is a landmark bridge in the Xicheng District of Furong City. It has a large daily traffic volume. In other words, it is a regular traffic jam at three hours in the morning, midnight and evening. A second bridge was built nearby to divert the traffic a few years later. It's better.

Of course, the so-called good is really only a little bit, because people and vehicles in Furong City also rose sharply at that time.

The time for Xiao Qi and Ning Qian to send the workers is basically 6 o’clock in the morning. Xiao Qi is considered a thief. Since he is a worker who has spent money to raise, of course he must try to extract value from the other party, like someone else’s construction site. The people who work in heaven are lazily and dazed around, and his construction site is one of the two.

For example, Lao Lai and the others even have to be stimulated by Xiao Qi to work actively and actively, and they usually help Xiao Qi to manage and supervise others.

However, Xiao Qi also increased his wages for people who were so trustworthy with Lao Lai. Although only one person increased by one or two yuan, Lao Lai and the others were moved and became more active in doing things.

It’s early in the summer. Of course, Xiao Qi has to advance his working hours. However, if he is working in the open air, Xiao Qi will also lengthen the lunch break to prevent workers from being exposed to problems. He, the contractor, is still responsible for medical expenses and nutrition. of.

It will be about seven o'clock when the people are sent off and they will come back. When they arrive at the end of the Xiqiao Bridge, there are still a large group of people standing or squatting or sitting.

Although there are a lot of people doing projects this year, and there are a lot of workers in need, as explained before, many contractors would rather spend their own money to support workers than find these temporary workers.

After two days of work, you will have to pay for your wages. When you are working, you will always linger and refuse to work. If you care about him, he can still be more temperamental than your foreman. I'm making you pay off his wages for the hours he spent on the construction site.

Of course, it's not just people who don't work safely to earn money to support their families.

When Xiao Qi arrived, he did not go directly to the crowd to pick people. Instead, Ning Qian asked Ning Qian to park the car to the nearby square and walk to the bridge with a pack of cigarettes. He cast his eyes on a middle-aged man who was sitting on a tool bag and was talking to a few people next to him.

The man raised his forehead with heavy lines. He smiled and his tail was wrinkled, but he looked good.

Xiao Qi smiled and walked over to say hello to them, politely handed cigarettes to a circle of people, and then naturally joined the topic.

In fact, it is very simple for men to catch up with each other. They politely hand over a cigarette, and then brag for a while, or lament the difficulty of making money, or lament the international situation.

If the other party happens to be talking about the battle of XX decades ago, then you can just say a word or ask a question, or even just listen with an expression of interest. These can make people accept your intervention in their conversation.

For example, young girls explain that stars talk about skin care and make-up talk about pets, young mothers talk about children, middle-aged women talk about short and strange things in their parents, and old women talk about children and grandchildren who say that the younger generation is good.

Although everyone is different, different groups of people can find common ground on a large scale.

"A small construction site has stopped at Qingcheng Yaju. It's really hard to do housing construction!"

"Who is the big boss? It's been a long time since I've been out of work, why don't you be in a hurry?"

"It seems to be the wicked person."

"Oh no wonder!"

Hearing such a fairly familiar topic, Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask, "Rotten and wicked? Is this person very famous?"

For example, these odd jobs are active all year round in the corners of the city. Some people can even touch the entire city's construction sites for a few years. They really know more news than ordinary people.

The first person to pick up Xiao Qiyan laughed, "This person is a notoriously bad guy, and our group of people has been deducted money for all those who have worked with him, and even directly not paid. Just push people out."

Many things are relative. Contractors are unwilling to use this group of odd jobs, but odd jobs also need to be guarded for this and other reasons.

Xiao Qi listened to the deeds of the double-bag boss who was nicknamed "Lanquede" and his real name is Wu Shengde. No wonder everyone gave that person the nickname Lanquede, because that name is pronounced "without virtue" in the provincial dialect of C. There is no moral meaning.

Some people were picked one after another to leave here to work in the middle of the journey, and occasionally some people came back with their heads down and carrying them, saying that they were kicked back by their employers.

The man who claims to be Li's boss always pushes others out, but he stays where he is.

"Little brother, are you here to pick someone?"

After half an hour, Boss Li suddenly asked Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was not surprised, smiled, took out the cigarette case and handed another one to Boss Li. He also shook the money and put it on his mouth.

He took out the lighter and lit the two people. Xiao Qi nodded, "Yes, no. I originally wanted to come and have a look first. I just want to see if I can find a few reliable ones who are willing to work with me for half a month. But I didn't expect that the big brother you know a lot of news. I didn't find anyone and I wouldn't be a wasteful trip."

Boss Li cocked his mouth and spit out a puff of cigarette, shaking his hand with ashes, and a clearly thinking look appeared between his eyebrows, "Look at my little brother, you are not the impatient person, did you just come out this year?"

Not much like it.

Boss Li himself is a local who lives on the outskirts of Furong City. Because his mother in the family broke her leg last year, there is no way to take care of her. Boss Li lost his wife at an early age.

Because my daughter never thought of marrying again, in order to take care of my mother without delaying her daughter's study, so I came back from another place.

In this situation, it is not convenient for him to live on the construction site. He can only settle down at the head of the West Bridge and do odd jobs every day. Whether it is moving house or repairing water pipes and wires, the work on the construction site is also his job.

Because there are so many things, Boss Li can generally receive jobs.

When Xiao Qi came over just now, Boss Li had secretly looked at this man. He looked at the strong body, there were obvious traces of sunburn on his face, and there were calluses left by work on his palms.

If you change into a suit that's almost impossible, this is their counterpart.

You can see Xiao Qi’s expression in his eyes, but he doesn’t look like them at all. The only ones who can stay here at Qiaotou are those who are bored and want to talk to them for a while. Then there are only two kinds of people, one is their counterparts. One is employers who come to pick people for work.

But if it is an employer, how can anyone just squat here in a hurry to choose someone? So just now Boss Li talked to Xiao Qi aloud and it was just a rough guess. I didn't expect Xiao Qi to really pick someone.

Now that Xiao Qi has been talking about this, Xiao Qi will not let the opportunity slip away. He is also afraid that Ning Qian will be bored after waiting for a long time, "Yes, I only came out to do this in May this year, and now I have work. People who worry about nothing to use."

"Boss Li, I think you are very familiar with this film. Is there any reliable person to introduce a few? It is not impossible to pay daily, just because you are afraid of coming over and making troubles and not following the instructions."

This matter is not difficult. Boss Li smiled and nodded, as he agreed, "How long can you do it there?"

"Concrete, about a week."

Concrete is a tiring task. Except for the few people brought from Zhang Fugui, Xiao Qi, the other own workers who are prepared to earn income, can't bear to be used as livestock, and hiring odd laborers also has the same meaning.

Boss Li heard it too, but he looked at Xiao Qi, but he just looked at it a little bit strangely. After all, which foreman was not trying to squeeze his subordinates, wasn't it the same way when he was working on a construction site outside of the country?

After eating the meal of the head contractor, if you can't produce a bowl of rice, it will make the head contractor frown.

"It's not easy to find cheap and reliable ones."

Xiao Qi smiled, squatted there and put the cigarette **** out on the ground, then pinched it in his hand, "Boss Li, if you can help me find a few reliable ones, I will give you a commission, but the work must be done well. I will be able to contact frequently in the future. Even if I don’t need you for the time being, I can introduce a few bosses to you. I don’t need to eat under my hands, it’s just like doing odd jobs as you do now. I just come to the construction site on time every day. The wages paid rose slightly."

With that said, Boss Li was moved.

Who wants to squat here every day and be picked by others? If Xiao Qi really has work in his hands as he said and he wants to find them for a long time in the future, he will get to know a few bosses through Xiao Qi...

In the past, they weren't the bosses they didn't know when they went to the construction site, but those bosses had a really bad impression of them doing odd jobs. Unless they had to, they wouldn't think of looking for them.

The most important thing is that there is no need to live on the construction site if you have work, which is really too convenient for the special situation like Boss Li.

Boss Li hissed, breathed out his last puff, smiled and called Xiao Qi "Boss", "That's it, when will you ask the boss? I'll find a few people willing to work hard."

Xiao Qi smiled and patted Boss Li on the shoulder, stood up and took out a pen and paper from his trouser pocket to leave a phone number for Boss Li, "Come over tomorrow. Take the bus and walk a little longer."

It must be impossible for him to drive here to pick him up. Xiao Qi knew without saying that if he deducted his wages to pay for the gas, these people would definitely not want to, then let them solve the traffic problem by themselves.

After finding the people, he also solved the trouble of finding workers from outside in the future. Xiao Qi returned to the square, and Ning Qian stood by the car and watched the old men and old ladies playing Tai Chi in the distance.

Seeing Xiao Qi coming over, Ning Qian didn't ask him why he had been there for so long, but just smiled and asked him if the problem was solved.

"Can I still have problems that I can't solve?"

Sitting in the car, Xiao Qi buckled her seat belt, raised her hand to touch Ning Qian's face, and helped her pin the broken hair behind her ears. When she retracted her hand, she also pinched Ning Qian's soft earlobe.

Ning Qian raised her hand to touch her ear. It was a little hot, and she always felt that Xiao Qi was a little weird starting this morning.

Obviously it hasn't changed at breakfast.

Ning Qian felt that it was necessary to talk about this issue, so she asked openly on the way to send Xiao Qi to get the certificate.

"I'm working hard. You think we are so embarrassed just to make a phone call. What will happen when we go further in the future? So we must try to get each other accustomed to intimate behavior from now on."

Xiao Qi frowned and hesitated after speaking. He turned to look at Ning Qian and shouted "Dear", making Ning Qian chuckle and laugh, "How can you fall in love like this?"

Xiao Qi wondered, "Then how did others talk about it?"

Xiao Qi hadn't noticed or cared about this issue before, but Ning Qian had watched idol dramas. Although she had no actual combat experience on this point, she still had theoretical experience.

"Didn't people get closer when they intercede in the depths? Just let the flow go."

What Ning Qian wanted was a natural kind of getting along, not awkward or greasy, like a long stream of fine water, which could last for a long time even though it was plain.

Xiao Qi leaned against the back of the chair with a dull "Oh", turned his head and glanced at Ning Qian again. In fact, what he wanted to say was that he didn't think there was anything wrong with the previous relationship, the rabbit's small waist. It's easy to touch.

The author has something to say: Ning Qian: Can you not think of strange things in your head every day?

Xiaoqi: Why am I weird? You are my mother-in-law, I want to touch you and kiss you ** Why are you weird? [Baba's grieving roar]

Ning Qian: ...Isn't it strange that you don't even look at the word you said that it has been harmonized?

Xiaoqi: Humph! [Wronged Baba doesn't want to care about you]
