There are many types of jobs in coal mines.

But there is no doubt that the excavation team is the most tiring and dangerous.

Just because the underground coal seams are like the layer of meat in the middle of meat buns: miners have to rely on the picks and steel drills in their hands to pry out the coal bit by bit from the cracks in the rocks and dig it out.

If the coal seam is thicker, for example, more than 1 meter high, the miners will have an easier time: after all, the miners responsible for digging the coal can still stand up a little when encountering such a thick coal seam.

When digging this kind of coal seam, it is easy to exert force not only on the arms, but also on the waist and thighs.

Moreover, this kind of thick coal seam can be dug quickly and can be more profitable.

But if they encounter a coal seam that is only 2 or 3 feet high, the miners will suffer: they have to dig lying down, kneeling, or lying on the working surface.

When encountering this kind of coal seam, not only does it make people suffer when digging, but the excavation speed is also extremely slow.

Even if the miners work for a long time, they can't create much benefit. As a result, relatively speaking, their wages are not much higher.

This time I went down the well,

The team of Luo Xuan, Jian Teng, and Brother Zeng belong to the "excavation team" and do the most dangerous and tiring work.

Fortunately, the coal seam at the current mining surface is not bad. It is 8 or 90 centimeters thick, allowing people to bend down and dig forward sideways.

When encountering this kind of coal seam, it is much better than lying on the working surface and slowly drilling forward like an earthworm.

The mining surface Luo Xuan encountered this time was barely good.

but,

Gu Xiangyu has been digging coal with them for a long time, and he has accumulated richer experience.

According to them, judging from the changes in the direction and thickness of the coal seam, our team may not be able to live a good life for a few days.

Looking at the coal seam, there is a trend of becoming thinner and thinner.

After digging out the thicker coal, everyone will have to go into the cracks in the rocks to search for the thinner coal.

This time when he went down to dig coal, Luo Xuan worked very hard!

Just because I had already told Gu Xiangyu and the others before: I have to work hard, only in this way can I support myself.

Maybe by the end of the year, I can even send 5 or 60 yuan back to my family!

Luo Xuan was in good health and had a lot of strength, so he was very accurate and skillful in digging coal.

After a while,

There was a lot of coal piled up on the working surface that Luo Xuan was responsible for.

If he was really tired, Luo Xuan would excuse himself to go to the big pool and relieve himself.

Then go to the abandoned mine and escape into the space to rest for a while and eat something to restore your physical strength.

When his physical strength recovered, Luo Xuan would return to the workbench, pull Jian Teng and Brother Zeng down without any explanation, and let him take their place and continue working.

In fact, digging coal in a well is tiring and painful, but it's still bearable.

The most terrifying thing is the ever-present landslide, the danger of roof collapse, and the coal ash and dust that permeates the working surface.

People who have been underground for a long time.

Even if he has had good luck over the years, he has always been safe.

But after all, there is no way to escape the fall, and it will be accompanied by lifelong "pneumoconiosis" and "spontaneous pneumothorax".

When these diseases attack, life will really be worse than death!

Digging coal under the mine is the most tiring job, but loading the truck is relatively easy.

So there are 6 people in a team, generally 3 people are responsible for digging coal and 3 people are responsible for loading the truck.

By rotating in this way, everyone can take a breather.

Luo Xuan worked too hard today. Basically, Luo Xuan took care of all the work of digging coal on the working surface.

Gu Xiangyu and Lao Tong looked at each other and were dumbfounded: fierce man, what is a fierce man?

In the past, old fellow workers thought that they had worked hard enough to dig coal by themselves.

Now he saw the pickaxe in Luo Xuan's hand flying up and down, and large chunks of coal kept falling down from the coal seam.

Lao Tong and Gu Xiangyu couldn't help but admired from the bottom of their hearts: This is the real fierce man!

Luo Xuan started digging coal.

At the beginning, the coal was almost piled up like a hill, and we had to be responsible for loading the trucks. Several people were a little busy.

This is not to say that the five of them responsible for loading the truck cannot do a single job.

Just because the coal mining surface and the tunnel are narrow.

The more people there are, the harder it will be to move around, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of loading.

After Luo Xuan had been digging for half an hour, Lao Tong and Gu Xiangyu were surprised, happy, and happy that they had taken advantage of the situation.

Slowly, it turned into panic: This kid Luo Xuan doesn’t want his own waist anymore?

Unmarried young men have good waist strength.

But I can't stand Luo Xuan's squandering!

Alas, when I was young, I didn’t know how valuable my waist was. When I got older, I looked at the hollow silk thread and shed tears.

Luo Xuan was digging coal so hard that Lao Tong and Gu Xiangyu watched from surprise, joy, to fear.

And then later.

Luo Xuan looked like a mole digging into the fluffy soil, digging out a big hole with a click.

Gu Xiangyu and Lao Tong couldn't sit still at all: "Hey, little brother Luo Dabang, please take your time and dig more slowly!"

Luo Xuan has been calling his name Luo Dabang since he came to the mine.

That's why Gu Xiangyu thought that Luo Xuan was really called "Luo Da Bang".

"Slow down, slow down, you're a bitch!"

The old fellow exclaimed: "In this broken coal mine, we don't choose model workers, and we don't judge advanced ones. Brother Luo Dabang, why are you working so fast? Besides, that kind of honorary title can only be achieved by hard work." of?"

Gu Xiangyu also quickly advised: "Brother Luo Dabang, my dear, my dear! Why do you work so fast? Let me tell you, there is no such thing as a production pacesetter in this Doujiapan coal mine. explain!"

The old fellow hurriedly spoke up: "That's right! Everyone earns some wages to eat and drink. And I heard that the person in charge of this coal mine has a daughter who weighs 180 pounds. She doesn't even weigh her skin."

The other weighs 179 pounds, and that’s still the weight of summer! Brother Luo Dabang, don’t plan on becoming the son-in-law of the coal mine director. His daughter eats meat from the palm of her hand, and she has to eat 3 pounds in one meal!”

Luo Xuan once joked that he would marry the daughter of the coal mine manager.

This matter has spread throughout the coal mine through the mouths of new miners.

Gu Xiangyu and Laotong had a reason why they wanted to stop Luo Xuan from digging coal so fast.

These two guys!

They were really scared: they finally caught Luo Xuan, a good miner and co-worker who was willing to work hard.

Then you have to cherish it and let him do it for a long time.

It's like the rich peasants in the old society who bought back a good mule that is strong enough and willing to work hard. Then you have to take it slowly and slowly, but you can't destroy it all at once!

The two men tried their best to persuade him, but Luo Xuan continued to dig hard.

Gu Xiangyu really had no choice but to shout: "Stop! Stop digging."

Luo Xuan stopped and asked: "Why, Brother Gu, are you not willing to let the miners produce more and contribute more to the mines?"

"Uh no, it's not."

Gu Xiangyu waved his hands repeatedly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Actually, it's about digging coal. Well, actually, it's almost enough!"

Jianteng is not stupid.

When he heard what Gu Xiangyu said, Jian Teng took over and asked, "Brother Gu, are you afraid that if you dig too much or too fast, the mine will lower our unit price?"

Gu Xiangyu nodded: "That's it. We belong to the same team, and the coal we dug is mixed together, so we all earn the same amount at the end of the month."

"If we dig too much, we have completed the production task far more than other teams."

Gu Xiangyu explained: "Then there are only two possibilities: the mine can increase production quotas for other teams; or it can reduce the unit price of coal for our team."

Lao Tong nodded: "No matter which result, it is not a good thing for us.

So coal mining is about right. Don’t lag behind others, but don’t stand out too much. Do you understand?”

If the tunneling speed is too fast, the unit price of the coal mine will be reduced. There is no doubt about this.

This guy is really willing to do it, and he is also very cunning and scheming!

Sure enough, their high wages are not for nothing.

Lao Tong's salary is higher than others, partly because he works hard at coal mining.

But the amount of his higher salary is actually extremely limited.

In fact, the excess wages that really fell into his pocket were mainly because he was a spy in the coal mine.
