Chapter 3: The hardships of suffering ()

When Xu Shaojie really started to do things, he realized that it was not as good as he said it was possible. His speed was obviously slower than the other three laborers. If it weren't for the sake of Liu Fugui and Song Guangming, Xu Shaojie would have been scolded by other laborers and had already been bleeding from the heads of blood, but Xu Shaojie had his own advantage, that was to coordinate the relationship. After the results achieved by two bowls of noodles, Xu Shaojie realized the importance of coordinated relationships. Xu Shaojie originally did not smoke, but after dinner last night, Xu Shaojie specially bought two packs of cigarettes at a nearby convenience store, all of which were the same.

A cigarette worth a pack is considered a very good cigarette. Xu Shaojie has observed that the coworkers who sucked the clouds after meals smoked cigarettes worth a few cents a pack. Therefore, during the rest of the work, Xu Shaojie smiled and pretended to everyone, saying some interesting words. Xu Shaojie didn't know when he became so good at talking. He talked to these people about family and children, which made everyone laugh. Everyone also knew that Xu Shaojie was a fresh graduate student, and he could tell from his appearance, so he didn't care about Xu Shaojie's poor work.

Even so, Xu Shaojie was very tired. After a day, Xu Shaojie felt that his bones were falling apart. He was so hungry that he could not hold the bowl of rice with his hands and could not pick up food. He finally filled his stomach and felt that he had recovered some strength. Xu Shaojie was lying on the bed to rest and didn't want to go anywhere. The workers in the shed went out to wander. There was nothing to do at night. The construction was done by other sheds.

Liu Fugui walked to Xu Shaojie, looked at Xu Shaojie, and handed over a cigarette.

"Brother Liu, I don't smoke."

"Little brother, learn to smoke, do things on the construction site, have to smoke, drink, and can't smoke. It's not considered a man, can't drink, and is looked down upon by others."

Xu Shaojie took the cigarette, lit it, and took a sip. He was not choked. Liu Fugui was very surprised.

"Little brother, do you really not smoke?"

"Yes, Brother Liu, this is my first time smoking."

"It's not simple. I think you are not simple. I have seen many men who smoke for the first time. They were choked so badly, and some even choked out tears. Come, little brother, take a sip, let me see how you drink."

Liu Fugui took out a bottle of wine like a magic trick, which contained high-quality purified wine. This kind of wine was cheap and was the favorite of migrant workers. In Xu Shaojie's hometown, there were many people drinking purified wine. Xu Shaojie smiled and took the purified wine and took a big mouthful. After a while, Xu Shaojie's face did not change.

"Little brother, I'm convinced. It's a pity that you can do it on the construction site with your ability. I heard from people in my hometown that people who drink and smoke for the first time will either become famous or be infamous for thousands of years. I don't know how you came to the construction site."

Xu Shaojie didn't say anything and smiled at Liu Fugui.

"Little brother, remember to burn your feet with hot water at night. Remember, there is hot water in the kitchen. Don't be afraid of trouble, otherwise your feet will swollen tomorrow. As long as you burn your feet, there will be nothing going on tomorrow."

Xu Shaojie was covered in sweat and wanted to just sleep like this, but he knew that what Liu Fugui said must be true, so he struggled to get hot water in the kitchen and burn his feet. Xu Shaojie was sweating profusely. He simply went to the temporary bathroom next to him to take a shower. The so-called temporary bathroom was just a shed built with nothing inside and he needed to bring water in to take a shower. The clothes could not be worn anymore. Xu Shaojie endured his fatigue and scrubbed the clothes simply.

When lying on the bed, there were no one in the shed and everyone went out to play. Xu Shaojie thought of his father who had just passed away, his mother, sister, and his brother who was still in prison. A sad thought wrapped around him, and he was already full of tears without knowing that he had not answered.

When he woke up in the morning, Xu Shaojie found that several large bags were bitten by mosquitoes. He didn't feel anything at all at night. He slept like a dead pig. Xu Shaojie was young. After getting up, he felt that his mental strength had improved a lot. The breakfast was steamed buns, plus a bowl of cabbage soup, and after eating three big steamed buns, Xu Shaojie felt that he had completely recovered.

Xu Shaojie, who started working on this day, became much more flexible and faster, and was able to keep up with the rhythm. Xu Shaojie's voice was good and he hummed a few pop songs from time to time. Several workers thought Xu Shaojie was good and kept encouraging Xu Shaojie to sing. So, during the break, Xu Shaojie sang Alan Tam's "Flowers in the Water". The workers applauded and thought that Xu Shaojie was not much worse than those singers. Xu Shaojie himself knew that his voice was slightly better and he could not compare with singers.

Gradually, the few workers who worked with Xu Shaojie were a little close to Xu Shaojie. They thought Xu Shaojie would not be able to stand it. Unexpectedly, Xu Shaojie's adaptability was so strong, much stronger than they did at the time. The migrant workers' understanding was very simple. They thought Xu Shaojie was different from ordinary people. Therefore, when doing things, they took care of Xu Shaojie. They were in groups of two, and the carts were much easier, and the bricks were more difficult. Everyone wanted Xu Shaojie to pull the carts and didn't have to do anything else.

Three days have passed, and Xu Shaojie has integrated into this shed. Everyone no longer regards Xu Shaojie as a newcomer, nor does anyone regard Xu Shaojie as a student. Xu Shaojie's adaptability surprised everyone. It is not a long time for a newcomer to suffer, but Xu Shaojie has nothing to do, but he can talk and laugh with everyone. This is not an ordinary ability.

Xu Shaojie is already very skilled in smoking, holding a bottle of wine with everyone, drinking one by one, and not dislike each other. No one knows Xu Shaojie's true identity. They all think that Xu Shaojie is a newly graduated student. In order to reduce the burden on the family, to make money, or other reasons, those who come to work are all children of poor families. In the past, when the family conditions are good, who would want their children to come out to suffer?

On the fourth night, a migrant worker who worked as a laborer with Xu Shaojie walked to Xu Shaojie and spoke mysteriously.

"Little brother, I haven't had any meat before. I'll take you out and try it. It only costs 10 yuan and I'll give you what you're satisfied with. How about it? Follow me out and have never experienced these things, so I'm not considered a man's."

Xu Shaojie quickly understood what the other party was saying. He smiled and shook his head, saying that he didn't want to be fake. Xu Shaojie was already 18 years old and was the time of youth impulse. However, Xu Shaojie was a real college student and could not have these problems. It is okay to eat, smoke, drink, or even make yellow jokes with everyone, but there must be no mistakes in style issues. Xu Shaojie heard and witnessed it from a young age and knew that style issues were a fatal blow to politics.

"Hey, forget it. I didn't expect you to be a young man. I'm sorry. If you have such a thing, you won't have to worry about the second time. Everyone comes out to work and go out to have a meat meal. It's normal. No one says you."

Seeing that Xu Shaojie was not told, the coworker shook his head and went out. He was not as much as Xu Shaojie thought. He was so tired these days that he went out to find a place to vent. There were several beauty salons nearby. Although the women inside didn't look good, they were always tender and tender, and they were more coquettish than the wife at home.

After coming out these days, Xu Shaojie thought about writing letters to his home. He was still getting used to it a few days ago. He was too tired and had no time. Now he has time. At night, all the workers in the shed went out. It was early and he couldn't sleep. He happened to write letters to his mother. Xu Shaojie put the luggage he brought on on the bed and when he was sleeping, he put it beside him. Xu Shaojie slept in the innermost place. The place was wide enough to place his luggage, and there was no problem.

Although it only took so few days to come out, Xu Shaojie felt a lot of emotion. It was not easy to go out and not at home. Now he needs to take care of himself. If his clothes are dirty, he would only wear sweaty clothes. If he has problems, he should pay attention to it. No one will care whether you are uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, everything depends on himself. In this world of working men, you can improve your relationship with everyone and integrate yourself into it. But you must rely on your own strength to complete your work and make money. The purpose of everyone's out is two words: making money, so when it comes to money, they are all petty. This cannot be blamed on them. They are forced by life, and rich people will not come here.

Xu Shaojie quickly finished the letter. He was very pragmatic. Although he thought so much, he would not reveal it in the letter. He was so far away from his mother. The purpose of writing the letter was to report safety and let the mother not worry. It was useless to say so much. If the mother was worried, it would be better not to write a letter.

That night, Xu Shaojie had a dream, dreaming that his mother was looking at the letter he wrote.

Xu Shaojie is already very skilled in brick transportation work, and his speed is no worse than other laborers. Xu Shaojie does things like everyone else and does not require any specialization. He continues to fill everyone with cigarettes, and others also fill Xu Shaojie with cigarettes. During the break, everyone is so comfortable to swear. However, Xu Shaojie always speaks very civilizedly and never speaks swear words. This is different from others. Everyone thinks that Xu Shaohua is a fresh graduate with a thin skin, and it will be fine after a while.

Zhang Shaocai came over while Xu Shaojie was pulling the cart.

Zhang Shaocai's origin is not simple. He is a real farmer. When he was in his hometown, Zhang Shaocai was very smart. He saw that he had money to make money as a contractor. In addition, he was a bricklayer. After thinking about it, he recruited a group of people in his hometown, formed an engineering team, and slowly began to go out to find things to do. Zhang Shaocai had one of the biggest advantages. He said that he did it, whether it was to match the top or the bottom, because of this advantage, Zhang Shaocai's team became famous and gained a foothold in the provincial capital after a few years. Zhang Shaocai was not a simple person. On the surface, he was very honest, but in fact he had a good heart. He looked at people and things very accurately. He developed in the provincial capital over the years and has never been able to do it.

It was very good. The water in the construction market was too deep. Zhang Shaocai did not have enough financial resources and could not compete with those wealthy bosses. He could only rely on meager relationships to obtain some subcontracted projects. After spending a long time in the industry, Zhang Shaocai understood that relationships were the most important. Unfortunately, he was from a mud-legged person and could not reach those officials who held the power. When he first met Xu Shaojie, Zhang Shaocai had a very strange feeling. This young man was not simple. These days, although Zhang Shaocai had not visited the construction site where Xu Shaojie was, Xu Shaojie's actions had all come into his ears, so Zhang Shaocai decided to come and take a look.

"Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for several days, so I'm not here to supervise you."

"Old Liu, Lao Song, I don't have to come and see you. You are all old brothers."

When Xu Shaojie saw Zhang Shaocai coming, he stopped his work and took out a cigarette from his body.

"Little brother, Brother Zhang smokes good cigarettes. Don't put cigarettes on Brother Zhang, but let Brother Zhang have a good cigarette for us."

Xu Shaojie smiled and still handed Zhang Shaocai a cigarette, still explaining.

"It doesn't matter if the cigarette is good or bad. Brother Zhang is a rich man. Big boss. It's my intention to pretend to be a cigarette for Brother Zhang, otherwise Brother Zhang would say I'm ignorant."

Zhang Shaocai took the cigarette with a smile. When he started his business, he had never smoked any kind of cigarettes. Now that he is rich, Zhang Shaocai also carries two packs of cigarettes on his body at any time, one pack of high-end cigarettes, most of which are Hongtashan and Ashima. One pack of ordinary cigarettes is smoked by himself. High-end cigarettes are used to hold customers and storefronts. Ordinary cigarettes are smoked by himself. Since he is a contractor, he always needs to save face. It is too cold to be looked down upon by others in the construction industry.

"Little brother, I heard you did a good job, I'll come and have a look."

Zhang Shaocai said as he took out the cigarette from Hongtashan and handed a piece to several people. Xia Tian's clothes and pants were not thick. Xu Shaojie found that Zhang Shaocai seemed to have a pack of cigarettes on his body, and he understood something.

"Brother Zhang, it's all Brother Liu and Brother Song to take care of me, and there are also several brothers who take care of me at all times, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Haha, you are very good. I have seen a lot of new arrivals to the construction team, many of whom are crying. I didn't expect you to be able to do things with everyone so soon. If you have a promising future, you will definitely have a promising future."

Zhang Shaocai patted Xu Shaojie on the shoulder hard and was about to leave. He was very satisfied with Xu Shaojie's performance, but he was only satisfied. A young man who had just come out of the school would not be much stronger in the future.

"Brother Zhang, you probably don't know that Xiao Xu just learned to smoke. When he first smoked, he performed similarly to our old cigarette customers and was able to drink. I have never seen such a young man."

"Is that true? It seems that little brother is really good."
