Early the next morning, the four of them got up, washed briefly, and then went to have breakfast.
Only Li Long ate a little more for breakfast, and Li Anguo, the three of them, didn't eat much because they were excited.
After breakfast, they walked back. Li Long vaguely listened to the people nearby talking about the word "green shade". Is it this place or a nearby place?
Where? This kind of title is quite special. It has never appeared in Ma County or Shicheng. The two places that appear most often are such-and-such road and such-and-such street, and what he knows most about Kuitun is that in a certain issue of the "Liyuan Spring" program, there was a Uighur elder brother in Kuitun who sang Henan opera, and he sang quite well. good.
Not many other impressions.
Of course, there will be more in the future, because he needs to work here for a while. If the second brother and the others can settle here, then Li Long will probably come here often in the future.
He drove Li Anguo and the others on a tractor to the construction and installation company again. There should be a primary school near the company. Li Long saw many students carrying schoolbags walking towards the path next to the installation company. There was a vague playground there.
Li Long drove the tractor through the gate, and then saw the old man who swept the floor yesterday, and Ma Aihong was standing next to the old man.
"You are here, come on, follow me." Ma Aihong pushed the bicycle. Seeing Li Long and the others arriving, she greeted them and rode her bicycle forward.
Ma Aihong rode very fast, but Li Long did not dare to drive fast because he was worried about bumping into others.
The construction and installation company has a large yard. You can see some machinery, but not much. Most of them are simple equipment such as trolleys. The office area is a bungalow. There are several rows of bungalows here. Li Long followed Ma Aihong to a bungalow. Some workers are packing their equipment here, waiting to set off.
"The three of you will live here." Ma Aihong pointed to the bungalow and said, "Put your luggage in, and everyone chooses a seat. This house is quite empty. Currently, only There are two people here. You lay down your bedding first. Someone will come over to register you and assign tasks later."
Li Anguo and the others looked at each other after listening to Ma Aihong's words, and then got off with their luggage. car, and then walked toward the house one by one.
"Xiao Li," Ma Aihong said to Li Long who was sitting on the tractor again, "have you had your meal? Then you can wait here. Look, there is the guest house over there. Don't It may look a little shabby on the outside, but it's quite clean and tidy inside, with bedding and everything. You can go there after finishing your work at noon. Rest, I have opened the house for you.
By the way, the food is good there, and I will also provide you with the oil that your tractor burns. Just wait for the truck to be dispatched and drive. Again, you don’t need to load or unload the truck.”
"Thank you, Chief Ma." Li Long said hurriedly.
"Thank you, we are all our own people. You have helped me by coming here."
After Ma Aihong finished speaking, she asked Li Long to wait here while he went to the office. There's a meeting over there.
Li Long looked around and saw several carriages and donkey carts coming here, probably waiting for work.
These horse-drawn carriages and donkey-carts are surrounded by guards, which can hold more things, but in real terms, they are much less loaded than Li Long's car.
Now he understood a little bit why Ma Aihong insisted on keeping him. The construction and installation company's transportation capacity is a bit short.
After a while, a small four-wheel tractor drove over. This tractor was similar to Li Long's model, except that it was much worn out. The driver originally looked arrogant, but when he saw Li Long's hand, his expression suddenly changed.
He didn’t expect that the construction and installation company would get another tractor, and it was obvious that the tractor was very new!
Did you buy it newly, or did someone new bring it here?
Is this your competitor?
Li Long just glanced at that person, and then his eyes fell on others.
He found that the people living here had all kinds of clothes, old and new. Not far away, there were some other people wearing blue labor protection overalls and carrying the same tool bags.
Those should be formal workers, right? And here they should all be temporary workers.
Temporary workers like Li Anguo and others are not recruited uniformly. They come early and late. Some have already started working, and some have just come in - like Li Anguo and others.
Soon, Li Anguo and the others came out of the dormitory. All three of them were smiling and seemed quite satisfied with the environment.
Li Long glanced at the man driving the old tractor. He was wearing quite new work clothes. He didn't know if he was a regular worker or if he had clothes specially issued to him?
There are only two tractors on the Ganlinhuo side, but there is one truck on the regular workers side. This is all the "transportation machinery" that Li Long can see so far.
Some workers climbed onto the truck over there, and the truck drove out, probably going to work.
Someone came over with a folder and started assigning tasks.
Li Junshan was sent out first because he had done big jobs, and the salary standard was clarified on the spot, one yuan and three a day, which was already higher than some official wages in other places.
But think about it, after all, they are not apprentices, they are temporary workers who have to perform heavy manual labor, and it is not enough if they are not paid enough.
As for Li Anguo and Yang Yongqiang, they are paid as minor workers, currently one yuan a day.
A tractor costs ten yuan, and Ma Aihong was right. The three workers climbed on the truck, pointed the way to Li Long, and drove out of the installation company to the material yard.
Li Long really felt that it became much easier to make money with a tractor.
The material yard is not very far, and the tractor can go back and forth in about ten minutes, but loading is relatively slow. At this time, the construction and installation company did not have excavators and forklifts, so they could only load the trucks manually, which would be slower.
But because of this, each car is loaded with more, full, and prominent ones, which is what the company requires.
The construction site is in the west of the city. When the workers unloading the trucks were chatting, they said that this seemed to be the office space of some government agency. Li Long didn't ask much. Unloading was faster than loading. Although the tractor had not yet been converted to automatic hydraulic unloading, all he had to do was pull out the pin of the bucket, put down the trunk panel, and two people could move up on both sides of the carriage. Just lift it and you can unload a load of sand and gravel. If you drive the tractor a few meters forward, all the materials in the car will be shaken off.
Ten yuan is still a good profit. In fact, it doesn’t cost much gas. The labor is basically nothing, just driving.
Compared with the past when I had to break holes in the ice, endure the cold, work hard and get up early, it is really very profitable to have a tractor now.
Li Long pulled five carts in the morning and got fifty yuan. The five carts of materials he pulled could equal the carriage next to him pulling twenty or thirty carts of materials, and the speed was still slow. He asked. The carriage could pull almost two carts in the morning. If he had gone there earlier, it could have pulled three carts.
For lunch, part-time workers eat fried cabbage, corn flour pancakes, and vegetable soup. Li Long ate much better in the guest house. There were two staple foods: steamed buns and noodles. There were also two kinds of vegetables, stir-fried cabbage with some meat in it; the other was stir-fried shredded potatoes, which tasted average, but the steamed buns were enough.
The guest house is decorated with two round tables and several wooden strip tables. When Li Long first arrived, he sat at a table.
The people eating here at the guest house should be the leadership of the construction company and a few drivers. This made Li Long feel pretty good - he saw the truck driver and the other old tractor driver.
The truck driver was a middle-aged man about forty years old. When he saw Li Long, he smiled at him, then he packed his own meal and went to the table to eat - Ma Aihong was also at the table. . He came over and chatted with Li Long for a few words and then passed. Li Long sat and ate alone. Seeing that the old tractor driver was also sitting on the side, Li Long originally wanted to chat with him for a few words, but seeing that the other party looked at him in a unkind way, he had no intention of talking.
There was an hour's break at noon. Li Long was not very tired, but he had nothing else to do. The waiter led him to a room for two people.
"Am I the only one who lives here?" Li Long asked after seeing that neither bed had been moved.
The waitress explained:
“The other bed was originally arranged for Master An. He lives nearby and has to go home at noon every day, so he doesn’t live in it.”
Li Long understood that Master An was most likely the other tractor driver.
This is just right. I don’t have to deal with strangers and people who are hostile to me.
He lay on the bed for a while, feeling still not tired, so he got up and went out. Anyway, Li Long didn't bring anything with him, so he wasn't afraid of people coming into the house.
Walking to the yard, Li Long recognized the direction, and then walked towards the dormitory where Li Anguo and the others lived.
Li Anguo and the others have already eaten. They are very tired from the morning work. The three of them are now lying on the bunk to rest. However, because the time was short, they did not want to fall asleep, and chatted all the time.
"Second brother, Junshan, Yongqiang, how are you doing?" Li Long entered the dormitory and asked when he saw Li Anguo and the others lying on the bunk talking. "It's not bad, I'm a little tired, but I can still do it." Li Anguo nodded.
There are two other people in the dormitory. They haven't slept either. They probably know each other. They are also chatting on the other side.
Li Long went over and sat on the edge of the shop, and then asked:
"It should be better over there in Junshan, right?"
The work of Dagong is more technical than Small jobs are better.
"Well, it's not bad." Li Junshan said, "There is also a shortage of people in big jobs here. I remember Uncle An Guo did it before, so I wonder if I should apply to work here. That's laying brick walls or something. Yes, it’s not that difficult.”
Li Anguo was a little hesitant, but Li Long said:
"Second brother, if you want to be able to do it, then go and try it. These are real materials, and there are safety guards watching on the construction site. There are others who are better than you." We pay more attention to quality, right?”
The treatment of big workers and small workers is different. More importantly, Li Long feels that if Li Anguo can become a big worker, he will be more likely to stay.
Yang Yongqiang pursed his lips and didn't say much. He had never penetrated the wall, so he had no say at this time. Today's work is quite tiring, much more tiring than farm work. But while working, I also heard the workers next to me saying that there is a lot of work to be done in KT City now and a lot of workers are needed, so there is a high chance that they will stay after working for a period of time.
As long as you can stay, you will be a formal worker and you will be able to eat commercial food.
The treatment of eating commercial grain is really very attractive to Yang Yongqiang, or to these people who come to work.
If Tao Daqiang doesn't come, in Yang Yongqiang's opinion, first of all, his character is easy-going. Secondly, it was also because Tao Daqiang earned a lot of money following Li Long. On an annual basis, it was more than what he earned as a worker. So he felt that his future would be better if he stayed in the village.
But Yang Yongqiang feels that although it is indeed rich in money to follow Li Long, it is not stable. When workers always receive wages and receive pensions when they are old and can no longer work, this is the real iron rice bowl.
So although he is tired, which is more tiring than farm work at home, Yang Yongqiang feels that he can persevere.
"Yongqiang, how do you feel?" Li Long asked Yang Yongqiang again.
"It's not bad." Yang Yongqiang smiled, "I was a little uncomfortable at first, but it's just work. It's almost as tiring as digging a big ditch in the team. It will take some time to get used to it."
He believes that no matter what Whether it is the current food or accommodation conditions, as long as I can become a formal worker, these will be fine.
He also heard that many regular workers have small yards near Section Chief Ma and the others. By then, he himself will be a city dweller, and he will find a wife in the city. Feeling - hehe!
Since the three of them felt good, Li Long didn't have much to say. He chatted for a few more words and then left. Li Anguo and the others were more tired than him and needed more rest.
Before returning to the guest house, Li Long came to his tractor and filled the tractor with water in a bucket. The diesel I brought yesterday has not been used up yet, so I added more oil to the tank.
While he was working on the car, he heard someone talking from behind:
"Xiao Li, how were you doing today?"
"Not bad." Li Long turned to look at Ma Aihong holding the Holding a lunch box, he said, "I'm not too tired. I feel fine."
Li Anguo doesn't need to contact Ma Aihong to report the work. He can just report it himself when he dispatches the work tomorrow. People can tell if you can do it well in a local area.
"That's good. I heard from the people on the engineering team that with your tractor today, the progress of our project has improved a lot. By the way, let me tell you, your tractor pulls materials The money is paid immediately, and you can go to the financial department to settle the account after you get it in the afternoon, or you will have to wait until tomorrow.”
"Okay." Li Long nodded quickly.
Earn one hundred yuan a day!
Can I earn a tractor a month?
I thought it couldn’t be this good. The amount of this project is not large. It can only take ten days. The key point is that sand and gravel materials are used at the beginning, followed by bricks. The pulling of materials may only take three to five days, and the rest is the work of the workers.
Of course, this is also very good. He really knows what he has heard before, it is difficult for people to make money, but it is easy to make money.
Can others not see that there is money to be made from tractors?
Of course you can. But the problem is, I can’t afford the money to buy a tractor.
Like Li Long now, because he bought the tractor with full payment, it is easier for him to get a bank loan than others because he has suitable collateral. This is why many people in later generations cannot understand why it is so difficult for ordinary people to get loans, but it is so easy for those who owe a lot of money to banks.
Even a few years later, Xiao Haizi in the team was contracted by others. At that time, there was an "entrepreneur" in the township who owed money to the dry sand farm. In order to make him pay off the money, the township asked him to pay off the money. Xiao Haizi was contracted.
Many people thought that since this person had worked in a business, he should be able to revitalize Xiaohaizi, but in the end, he just let fishing go and charged one hundred yuan for each person who came to fish...
Okay, that's a long way off.
In the afternoon, Li Long also pulled five loads of sand and gravel, and then went back to settle the bill. When he was checking out, he was informed that he would start pulling bricks tomorrow.
Li Long found that he had expected a lot more. This time he didn't even have three or five days. He had prepared enough sand and gravel in one day, and the bricks probably wouldn't last three days.
Of course I was joking. After all, the horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart had been pulling for several days. It was impossible to just point at their two tractors.
With one hundred yuan in hand, Li Long was quite excited. Although I have made tens of thousands of dollars this year, I can earn a hundred dollars easily, and it’s not tiring or dangerous, which is really good.
Dinner is relatively light, rice porridge, pickles, red tofu, and leftover steamed buns from lunch. Still in charge.
After Li Long finished eating, he thought about going out for a walk. At the gate, he met the old man sweeping the floor. At this time, the old man was collecting fallen branches on the roadside.
Li Long greeted him, and the old man reminded Li Long:
“Young man, come back as soon as it gets dark, it’s not very safe outside.”
>Li Long nodded immediately thinking about this special year.
He actually just wanted to see the situation nearby. He planned to leave as soon as the project was completed, and he had to do a few things before leaving. For example, the fruit tree seedlings of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and the agricultural machinery factory here.
From the construction company, there is a curved road not far away. There are not many people walking here after get off work. Everyone is in a hurry, walking or riding bicycles to go home. The air is filled with the faint scent of food, as well as the sounds of children laughing and parents noisy.
Li Long could tell that although there were not many households with TV sets, there were two or three in every ten households, and even more radios. It's no wonder that Yang Yongqiang wants to stay here as a worker. At least on the overall average level, he is much better than in the countryside.
Of course, this will be the case in the future.
He circled around and found no agricultural machinery factory nearby. Seeing that the night was getting darker, he turned around and strode back.
The company's iron door was closed but not locked. Li Long pushed the door open and went inside, then turned around and closed the door again, and went to the guest house.
The lights were on in the guest house. After seeing Li Long, the eldest sister at the front desk took the initiative to say to him:
"Young man, there is a TV in the TV room. There will be a martial arts movie later. Do you want it?" If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look, it’s quite nice.”
There is also a TV room. Li Long thanked him hurriedly and followed the sound.
The TV room is not big. There are two single sofas and a few stools in it. There are several people watching TV now. Although they are watching local news, they are still watching with interest.
Li Long also found a place to sit down. He was tall, so naturally he couldn't move forward to relieve himself, so he moved a stool and sat in the back corner, so that it would not prevent people from outside from coming in, and would not block other people.
It was still shooting the vulture. After a while, he cycled through Guo Daxia's eighteen palms. Li Long looked at it and shook his head, and went back after a while.
I knew I would bring two books here to read. (End of this chapter)
