Turning around, he saw Lin Fei walking into the construction site. Wang Tao saw that he was still limping when walking, but he was much more alert than yesterday. He smiled and said, "Brother, you are here. I see that your physical condition is much better than yesterday."
Lin Fei smiled and said: "As long as you move your lazy body, you will slowly adapt. Brother, are you alive today?"
"It's going to rain again, so it's better to move to the factory quickly. The cement will solidify when exposed to water and cannot be used. We must learn from the lesson tomorrow and let the unloaders unload the goods directly into the factory. The weather is too bad.
Damn it!”
"Can I help?"
"sure."
Lin Fei started doing it without saying anything. He was much more efficient and capable than yesterday. Wang Tao was very surprised. This guy can do it. After doing it yesterday, it seemed like he would be bedridden for the rest of his life. Today, he is full of energy and has regained his youth.
.
The key is that he is not as sneaky as his workers. He works very hard and his speed is much faster than yesterday, which makes Wang Tao very satisfied.
When the raindrops suddenly fell, they successfully transferred the cement into the factory. Wang Tao smiled at Lin Fei who was sitting on the mud board and rested: "What kind of work do brothers do?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Carpentry, painter, steel bar, concrete, electric welding, strong and weak electricity, etc. are all acceptable."
Wang Tao said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be an all-round talent."
"Talents can't say it, they've all done it."
"Can't you give it a try?" Wang Tao looked at a person working in the factory and said, "Old Wang, let this brother try his hand."
Lao Wang stopped the welding in his hands, looked at the fat Lin Fei with disdain and said, "Come on."
Lin Fei took over the gloves and welding helmet and put them on. He felt a little dizzy. His physical and mental condition was not good. Is it caused by high blood pressure? However, he was still experienced. After closing his eyes for a few seconds, he opened his eyes and started to practice quickly.
Welding two steel plates together.
Lao Wang on the side was surprised and murmured: "The width and height of the welding seam are just right. They completely meet the requirements. They are also very beautiful, uniform and standard. Brother, are you a professional?!"
Lin Fei thought if it wasn't for his dizzy body and poor mental strength, he could weld faster and better than this one.
Wang Tao was overjoyed, "Lao Wang is the best welder under my command, and he has a senior welder certificate. If you can get his praise, it means your level must be very high. Have you obtained the certificate?"
"No, I don't have any work certificate." These things were learned from the special engineers in the army fortifications in my previous life, and now this useless body has never obtained any work certificate.
"Then take a few exams. Depending on your level, you should be fine. I'll find someone to let you take the exam directly. After you pass the exam, follow me. After these two construction sites are completed, my next stop will be a few in the city.
There is a lot of work going on at this construction site.”
Lin Fei thought that he had to think about this. Being a construction worker was not his goal. He was just looking for a temporary job to make some money. He also wanted to find a long-term, stable and leisurely job, and just be a proper citizen.
.
The military career in his previous life made him want to live an ordinary life more.
But I didn't expect that I would end up with this good-for-nothing scumbag. I had no choice but to find a way to make some money first. As long as I made some money to pay off my debts, then I would be satisfied with marrying a wife and living a life of a wife and children.
But who will marry him? It seems that marrying a wife is not an easy task for a divorced, obese uncle who has been in jail for attempted rape.
"Let me think about it."
"Okay, brother, I'm waiting for your news. I urgently need talents like you. You can come over to help starting tomorrow. You don't have a work permit and can't go to work directly, so you can temporarily help the welder Lao Wang.
You are paid on a daily basis."
"Then thank you, brother." Lin Fei thought to himself that at least he could earn some money every day.
"You're welcome." Wang Tao smiled and took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, "Don't think it's too little."
"That's enough, thank you brother." Yesterday it was raining and Lin Fei was injured, so two hundred yuan was already a lot. Today it was just a simple move, so another two hundred yuan would be a lot.
In fact, this is the reason why Wang Tao wants to win over Lin Fei. Among other things, people with this welding technology can't be found even with a lantern. Now many industries are short of welders. The reason is that welders must not only have excellent skills, but also
Electric welding is very harmful to the human body, and it is difficult to obtain a welder certificate. Many young people are unwilling to engage in this profession. It is for this reason that electric welders have become the most difficult job to recruit at the moment. Many bosses offer wages as high as four to five hundred.
One day, but still couldn't recruit anyone.
"I haven't asked my brother's name yet. My name is Wang Tao. I am forty-five years old."
"Lin Fei, thirty-six, you are older than me, I will call you Brother Tao from now on."
"We will be brothers from now on. Just like them, we will share the joys and sorrows together and work hard for life together!"
It is said that the contractor is very shady, but this Wang Tao is different. He is very good-natured and loyal, at least that's what it seems from the two brief contacts.
After leaving the construction site, the rain had stopped, and Lin Fei walked towards the dock again, but saw the thin monkey Liu Wei and the other workers who had been moving together yesterday hiding timidly aside and not approaching the dock.
"Why are you here? Why don't you go to the dock?" Lin Fei asked in confusion.
"Forget it, a group of rich and powerful people came to the dock today. They said that the dock will be theirs from now on. No one can find work privately without their permission, unless they work with them and they will pay them wages."
It turns out they were robbers on the pier, "Why don't you just follow them?"
"They look down on us and think we are old, weak, sick and disabled. Besides, if you follow them, you can get half of the money you get at most. It's very dark."
"Why are they so domineering?!"
"Have you heard of Zhang Hu?" a worker asked.
Zhang Hu and Lin Fei extracted it from the memory of his brain. He was a local ruffian with more than a dozen brothers. He bullied the good and bullied the good all day long. Many people dared not speak out against him and stayed away from him.
My predecessor was quite familiar with Zhang Hu. I had drunk twice and played with money a few times. Once, Lin Fei lost all his money and borrowed a loan shark from him. In the end, he also lost all his money and had no money to repay him, so he beat him up.
He was half dead, and even moved away all the valuable things in the house, leaving only one household appliance, that outdated TV set.
Another time when we were playing mahjong together, Lin Fei drank a little too much. He suddenly became aroused and touched the butt of a beautiful girl sitting next to Zhang Hu who was watching mahjong. This was one of Zhang Hu's crushes.
He was so angry that he broke the arm and hand that Lin Fei used to touch his buttocks, and it took two months for him to recover.
Lin Fei often pretended to be Zhang Hu's brother. Sometimes he would find an opportunity to go out on the street with a group of Zhang Hu's brothers, from east to west, from south to north. People who didn't know him thought he was Zhang Hu's brother and had some feelings for him.
fear.
So under the guise of Brother Zhang Hu, he often borrowed money on credit, from the bun shop where he paid yesterday, to the night market stalls, to the large hotels, all of which had Lin Fei's credit record.
Later, Zhang Hu accidentally found out and was ready to beat him again, saying that if he continued to cheat in his name, he would be thrown into the canal and fed to the bastard.
It's not that Zhang Hu is a serious person, but Lin Fei used his name to get credit, and some people even asked him for money, which made him very angry and told him not to follow him and his brother again, otherwise he would meet again.
One hit at a time.
So when my predecessor saw him, he was like a little mouse seeing a big black cat, and ran away far away.
Although Lin Fei is not afraid of him now, his body is not good enough, so it is better not to provoke him first.
"Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you leave quickly and find other things to do?"
"We'll wait until they disperse before going there. After all, they won't stay there all day. In the evening, they will probably call it a day and go pick up girls and drink."
It seems that this temporary job cannot be done for the time being. It is being targeted by gangsters. No matter if you work day or night, if they are not there, you will have to hire a rent collector, and you will have to hand over half of the money to them after you finish the job.
Lin Fei would not wait around here, bid farewell to them and look for other temporary jobs.
Construction companies and migrant workers from all over the country have made the town extremely busy, especially the catering industry. It is almost noon, and the small restaurants and hotels are packed with migrant workers.
Migrant workers don't care whether your restaurant is good or bad, as long as it's cheap and they can eat well, they will come frequently. A few large pots of food with no oil or water, and a bottle of low-quality liquor will still eat and drink with gusto.
Lin Fei first found a mobile phone store and paid ten yuan for the phone bill, and then drank a bowl of cheap wontons made of rotten pork at a roadside snack bar. The meat had a sandy friction when chewed, which made Lin Fei frown.
head.
These meats are all fat meat. Every stall in the butcher shop has a bunch of bits and pieces of meat in an inconspicuous place. These meats only cost a few pieces a pound, and they are usually ground.
It's like a black market transaction. People who buy it don't say anything, just pick it up and leave. However, they don't pay for the scale because they are all regular customers and they will settle the bill afterwards.
The better meat is from old sows. The meat from old boars is hard and not fragrant, and it is even more unpalatable.
Basically none of these roadside bun shops use good meat. Now Lin Fei doesn't have the capital to be picky. He is not as good as a migrant worker. He can eat just fine.
When he paid the bill, he was depressed to learn that he had received credit from this wonton shop twice, but fortunately he only ate two bowls of Chaos.
Reluctantly, I settled my account and left, continuing my job search.
In fact, there are still many shops that recruit workers, but they don't pay on a daily basis. They have to work for at least a month before they are paid. The housekeeper's rent cannot wait for a month. Because she looks more and more like him, he should do what he says.
Have faith.
Fortunately, Wang Tao at the construction site paid him a daily salary, and there should be no problem paying the rent to the landlady after half a month. But Lin Fei still had to eat and live. There was nothing in the dilapidated house, so he had to replace it with some decent furniture and appliances.
I need to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and I need to replace the liquefaction tank at home.
