Wei Dahai came back alone. It was inconvenient for Zhang Guoquan to ask Wei Dahai directly, so he asked Liang Zi to inquire about it. As he guessed, the reason why Xia Sujuan did not come back with him was because she went to the hospital.

At that time, the mine had officially started construction, and the first people to go down were the workers from the county. As Wei Guangming said, the workers in the county had the skills to ensure that the coal mine could successfully mine the first car of black coal.

In the event of an accident, it is the best option for county workers to go down into the well first.

Soon, those villagers were able to go down the well. In the first few days, they had a learning attitude and followed the county workers while doing some hard labor.

At that time, Liangzi was one of the first people to learn from the well, and Liangzi said that Wang Yonggui also went down to the well and was in the same class as him, so Zhang Guoquan asked Liangzi to take care of his brother-in-law.

Liangzi agreed wholeheartedly, and then started talking about the mine. Zhang Guoquan was also a little curious.

He listened carefully to Liangzi's talk about the underground environment, which was nothing more than the underground environment. What Liangzi mentioned most was that it was humid, stuffy, and dark. In short, it was dirty and tiring.

This is nothing, but the dust particles underground are the most unbearable. Wrap your face with a towel. It is already stuffy underground, and it will become even more stuffy. You will be out of breath. If you don’t wrap it up, those dust particles will become even more unbearable.

If you drill it directly into your nose, I heard from the county workers that it is better to wrap it in a towel, otherwise you will easily get pneumoconiosis, which is said to be an occupational disease.

The villagers working underground didn't quite understand what they heard. They just thought that the workers from the county were squeamish and in poor health and couldn't stand the dust. It would take some time to get used to it. In fact, it was just like that. After a few days of adapting, they didn't wear towels.

Under the circumstances, I don’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Zhang Guoquan listened very seriously, and Liangzi said, it's a good thing you didn't go, it's better to be up here. Look at how clean the air outside is, a hundred times better than underground.

In addition to the physical torture caused by the underground environment, it was nothing. In order to make money, I tolerated it and got used to it. In the end, I had to endure the abuse of Wei Dahai, yes, Wei Dahai.

Wei Dahai controls the arrangement of the number of people going down the well. In short, he doesn't care. The villagers don't get started quickly when they work. The working speed must be slow at the beginning, but Wei Dahai doesn't care about this. Who will be held back by the work?

, he scolded me, and the scolding was very unpleasant.

Zhang Guoquan asked: "You didn't hit anyone, did you?"

Liangzi shook his head: "I'm not beating people, but many people can't stand just scolding their mothers. Even those workers from the county have been scolded by Wei Dahai. It can be said that no matter whether they are from the county or like us,

The villagers all have opinions about Wei Dahai."

In order to earn wages, workers choose to endure.

Liangzi also said: "When we were resting underground, some workers started talking about it, saying that the reason why Wei Dahai was always swearing was because he was letting off steam."

"Spreading anger? Why are you venting your anger?"

"I'm not sure. Some workers said that Xia Sujuan didn't give him a good look. In fact, Wei Dahai came back two days ago. He just stayed in the mine for the two days he came back and didn't go out."

Zhang Guoquan really didn't know. He had been busy with the canteen. When he was almost finished, he realized that Wei Dahai was back. According to Liang Zi, Xia Sujuan seemed to have only been with Wei Dahai for about two days, or Xia Sujuan had just stayed with Wei Dahai for about two days.

Left Wei Dahai.

Zhang Guoquan asked, "Do you all know about Wei Dahai and Sister Sujuan?"

Hearing Liangzi's tone, the news had already spread among the underground workers, and everyone was talking about it.

"Then you must know, that is, for Zhang Guoquan's sake, no one said it openly. Everyone knows that you and that Xia Sujuan are good friends. I was afraid that you would be unhappy after hearing this, so I didn't say it in front of you.

We talked about it before."

Zhang Guoquan didn't care about this. He was happy in his heart. At least Xia Sujuan escaped again. He really hoped that she could stay away from Wei Dahai in the future.

Zhang Guoquan said a few more words to Liangzi about paying more attention to safety. Liangzi was also tired, so he laughed and said he wanted to go back to sleep, and he had to go down the well at night.

It can be seen that Ryoko is tired and sleepy, and her clothes are dark and dirty. She looks more tired than doing farm work at home.

Every villager who came up from the well was in the same situation as Liangzi. He was so exhausted that he pulled on his rubber shoes. When he got home, he didn't even bother to wash his face. He took off his cotton-padded clothes and lay down directly on the bed.

When the first car of coal from the Yangjiazhuang Mining Area was pulled out of the Northland, the village became lively again. They looked at and talked about the black car of coal, full of curiosity.

At the end of the discussion, some villagers said that the coal could be used to burn pots.

The pot exploded all of a sudden. When the second car of coal was pulled out, it had to pass through a short road in the village. There were children guarding that section of the road. Each child was holding a long bamboo pole in his hand.

What are these children going to do? You will understand when the car loaded with black coal passes this stretch of road.

I saw the coal truck coming with a muffled sound and a thump thump thump. A child yelled, "Hurry up."

The other children took the bamboo poles in their hands and stabbed the carriage full of black coal. A lot of coal rolled down from the carriage.

When the truck left, the child dropped the bamboo pole in his hand, picked up the bucket that had been prepared, picked up the coal on the ground, and loaded it into it.

The children asked for these coals to take home to make pots. The adults said that burning black coals was better than dry firewood, which is why the children went to poke the carriages full of black coals.

Every day, there are children waiting on both sides of the road for trucks to pass by. The trucks don’t come every day, and sometimes they have to wait in vain. Fortunately, some villagers working underground figured out the general pattern and told the children how many days it would take before the trucks arrived.

Only then will he drag the coal out.

The children no longer wait in vain, they can accurately wait for the truck to pass by every time, and then use long bamboo poles to poke some off.

The truck driver discovered what the children were doing, so he often drove very fast when passing through this section of the road. The driver knew that they were children, but he did not dare to do anything to the children. If he beat the children, the villagers would not spare him.

Yes, he can only speed up when passing this section of road.

It's different from some time ago. There are suddenly a lot less coals that the children can take home.

It's cold in the winter, so many children take the coal back not only to cook pots for the adults, but also to light it with their friends to warm their hands.

The firewood does not need to be burned. Only the coal mine is lit and can be roasted for a long time. The child knows the benefits of black coal, so he looks forward to more coal, which can bake his hands and cook pots. From the beginning, he waits on both sides of the road.

, turned into chasing the truck, stabbing him with bamboo poles while chasing.

The older children have to do this. If they run fast, the younger children will follow and pick it up. After a few days, you can see that the road where the truck passed will leave a long black mark.

Even the children know the various benefits of coal, and the benefits of not using it are useless. The villagers who work underground also know it. When they come out of the well from work, they often put a few pieces of black coal in their pockets. Some villagers

I thought my pockets were too small, so I stuffed them into my cotton-padded clothes until they were bulging.

That day Liangzi found Zhang Guoquan. He was sneaking all the way, and when he got there, he clasped the bottom of his cotton-padded coat with both hands, not daring to let go at all. This made Zhang Guoquan feel curious.

"Brother Liangzi, you just came up from the well. If you don't want to catch up on your sleep, why are you here with me?"

Liangzi pulled Zhang Guoquan to a deserted corner, mysteriously, holding the bottom of the cotton-padded coat with one hand, and unbuttoning the cotton-padded coat with the other hand, revealing a pocket full of black coal.

Zhang Guoquan was extremely surprised: "What? Brother Liangzi, what are you doing with all this black coal?"

"Let's burn a pot, but it has been cooked. I have brought it home several times. My mother-in-law at home said it is very useful and better than burning firewood. This time I thought of bringing some specially for you."

Zhang Guoquan felt something was wrong: "The mine allows you to take it like this?"

When I thought about it, it was a bit unnecessary to ask. If I was allowed to take it, I could walk openly and openly, and Liangzi wouldn't be sneaky and even hid it in her cotton coat.

"This?" Liangzi was a little embarrassed: "It's okay. The mine didn't know about it. They took it secretly. There was so much coal down there, and no one noticed if it was missing a few pieces."

"Nonsense." Zhang Guoquan lowered his face: "Brother Liangzi, although we have objections to Wei Guangming, you are working in the mine now. It is against the rules to take things from the mine without the permission of the mine. This is the mine."

The basic system of the market.”
