Chapter 7 Moving Bricks
Yunning found that he was not suitable for moving bricks, or to be precise, he was not suitable for physical work.
Although Yunning's family is not in good condition, it is not so bad that Yunning has helped to work since he was a child. After all, it is a modern society, so it is not as good as in ancient times that he goes to the fields to do farm work.
Yunning's grades are not very good, or Yunning's grades have nothing to do with the word "good". In junior high school, he was always the middle class in the class, and he was also the worst high school in the county. Yunning felt that he was not a good student, but his parents didn't think so.
The Yun family's ancestors were all farmers for eight generations and had no genes to study at all. Yun's father-in-law Guang studied in elementary school for 8 years and was residing in grades three times. Not only the Yun family, but other families in the village were similar. Fortunately, Mica had a good IQ and often received certificates from three good students in elementary school. However, Mica's family was poorer and had many brothers. Yunning's grandmother favored boys over girls and thought it was useless for girls to study, so Mica could not finish the school.
Too low education is a lifelong pain for parents, and they can only do some physical work when they enter the city. They are tired all day long, and they don’t want Yunning to live the same life as themselves.
Yunning couldn't get a place in the town, but he was still a "child from someone else's house" when he took it back to the village. During the New Year party, Yun's father always asked Yunning's cousin's performance with a red face. Seeing his relatives changing the topic with shame, Yun's father laughed and drank the wine in his glass in one sip, saying that he would eat and eat.
Yunning has long been tired of watching this kind of scene, but Yun's father seems to never get tired of playing with it.
Yun's father's sense of superiority can last for about four years. Yunning, who became a technician after graduating from college, earned only about 4,000 yuan a month, and he had no way to compare with his cousins who studied technology and worked as a technician after graduating from junior high school. The money they got in a month could support two Yunning.
A drop of sweat dripped Yun Ning back from the memories of his previous life.
The bright sunshine shone on the ground, and Yun Ning couldn't open her eyes with the reflection. Her whole body was soaked with sweat, which was a sign of lack of exercise. She didn't move a few bricks in the morning, and she sweated much more than the old brick movers around her.
I took off my gloves and took out my cell phone from my pocket. I was only 10 o'clock, but my stomach was already empty. The soreness on my arms, the hunger in my stomach, and the glasses that slipped from time to time all tortured Yun Ning's nerves. The clothes were wet with sweat and firmly attached to Yun Ning's skin. The dust on the construction site was flying. The school uniform, which originally represented youth and intellectual, could no longer see its original appearance. I opened my arms and wanted to cool myself, but I waited for a long time but couldn't wait for a trace of wind.
A brick on the construction site costs 3 cents. Workers who move bricks for a long time can move about 10,000 yuan a day, which means they can get 300 yuan a day. If you have work every day, the theoretical income per month is about 9,000 yuan. Yun's father is the "teacher" who works mud and water on the construction site, 350 yuan a day, and the work is relatively easy.
There is no need to think about 10,000 yuan a day. Yunning felt that it would be good if he could move 3,000 bricks today. When he first came, he was very excited and walked steadily. As a result, he couldn't walk after walking a few times. It took 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock for three hours, and Yunning moved less than 1,000 yuan.
Yun’s father should have said hello, and Yun Ning can feel it.
Anyone who has moved bricks knows that the action of lifting the bricks from the ground is the most tiring, because you have to bend down and get up again. Many brick movers are not having problems with their arms when they get old, but with their waists.
The bricks at the starting point are piled up there in piles. Yunning always takes the tallest bricks in the pile because there is no need to bend down at this height. Yunning feels very smart and deserves to be a culturally educated new era prospective college student.
However, after a few trips, I found that the "low wall" I left behind was always cleaned up immediately. Yun Ning gradually understood that it was not that others were stupid, but that there were rules on the construction site. Everyone abides by this rule, but seeing that Yun Ning is still young, everyone gives in to him.
Yun Ning felt a little ashamed, not only for his own behavior, but also for his thoughts just now. His face was so hot that he didn't know if it was red.
The most difficult hour finally passed, and 11 o'clock was lunch time at the construction site.
I didn’t go home for lunch today. In the past, Yun’s father went home to make it for Yunning to have food. Since Yunning followed his father today, there was no need to go home.
I followed my father into a restaurant near a construction site. The restaurant had no air conditioning, only a few electric fans hanging on the wall were shaking their heads left and right. The inside was very noisy, making people feel even more stuffy and irritable.
Yun's father took a few dishes and left the restaurant. This was Yunning's request. Yunning always felt that it was unhygienic to sit in the restaurant. The stools in the restaurant could be sat on a layer of black things by the workers, perhaps the dust brought out from the construction site?
The building on the construction site has been built for 3 floors, and it is said that this is the new hospital in the town. Yun's father took Yunning to the second floor of the building and sat on the ground to prepare for dinner.
There are many people like Yunning, and many "teacher heads" who build houses like to eat like this.
"Old Yun, is this your son?" A middle-aged man in gray short-sleeved shirt asked Yun's father, with the clothes on his body also printed with advertisements from a certain hospital. "How old are you?"
"18. I just graduated from high school. Isn't this here to experience life? Make some living expenses for college." Yun's father replied quickly, afraid that the people around him would think that his son came to work on the construction site because he couldn't afford to study. He also pointed out that his son had a college degree to study and had a bright future.
"Oh, then your son is very sensible!" the middle-aged man praised, "My daughter graduated last year and couldn't endure much hardship. She could only work as a salesperson in the mall to earn college living expenses." Although her daughter said that she was not good, the pride on her face could not be concealed.
Others also participated in the chat, saying that your son is sensible, and his daughter is filial, which has become a large-scale commercial mutual bragging scene.
"What elf is the young man going to raise?" This question was asked to Yun Ning.
"Meili Yang." Yun Ning took a sip of beer and then picked up a sip of vegetables. It was so beautiful to drink a bottle of beer after doing physical work on the construction site.
"Oh, oh, Meli Yang is good..." The other party obviously didn't think of what kind of elf Meli Yang was. In his opinion, the elf who can help him work is the king.
"Meili sheep is good. I heard that it is quite profitable to breed Meili sheep now." Another middle-aged uncle interrupted. In his opinion, Yunning might be preparing to apply for the Meili sheep breeding major, so he chose Meili sheep as his initial elf.
Although the alliance stipulates that only those who have obtained a high school diploma at the age of 18 can have their own elves, this does not mean that all those who meet the requirements will raise an elves of their own. Just like in the previous life, in theory, everyone can keep pets, but there are still a few people who really keep pets. The proportion of elves in this world is much higher than that in the previous life, but there are still many people who do not raise their own elves. For example, Yunning's family only has the wrist power of Yunfu, and Mica does not raise an elves of their own.
The topic continues to go back to the topic of commercial mutual bragging. Middle-aged people have middle-aged people, and young people like Yunning cannot get into it.
After learning from the experience in the morning, Yunning's efficiency in moving bricks in the afternoon has increased. Before the time to get off work at 6 o'clock, Yunning's number of bricks has barely exceeded the 3,000 mark today.
Holding the 90 yuan with some wrinkles on his hand, Yun Ning felt a little emotional. This may be the hardest money he had earned in two lifetimes. In his previous life, he also participated in many work-study activities after going to college - it is always easy to find part-time jobs in big cities. The most tiring thing is to work as a waiter in a hotel during National Day. Although the plates in the hotel are heavy, they are simply a slim compared to the bricks on the construction site.
When I got home, I had already prepared the meal at home. Mica worked as a textile worker in a textile factory in the town, and the time to get off work was earlier than the construction site.
Looking at Yun Ning's dust and sweat stains, Mica's eyes felt a little distressed. She wanted to ask Yun Ning if she was tired today, but when she said something, she quickly washed her hands and had dinner.
After dinner and showering, Yunning lay on his bed, calculating how long it would take to afford Meli Sheep.
According to my brick-moving speed today, I can only earn 2,700 per month. Even if my efficiency improves later, it will take about a month to save up to 3,000 yuan.
The road is long! Yun Ning turned over and turned on his phone. Although he was very tired of moving bricks today, he was still full of energy. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning and played with his phone until 10 o'clock before going to bed.
While watching the battle video of elite trainers on his mobile phone, he fantasized about becoming a master of the king to kill all directions. Before he knew it, Yun Ning couldn't tell the difference between reality and dream, and fell asleep like that.
In my dream, Yunning became a peerless genius, became the champion of the provincial college competition in his freshman year, became the champion of the national college competition in his sophomore year, passed 17 elf gyms across the country in his junior year, and became the youngest gym-level trainer in history. Yunning, who was inflated in his senior year, regarded defeating the king-level master as his graduation design!
After graduation, Yunning became a senior executive of the alliance. Countless aristocratic clans begged to marry his daughter. In just a few decades, Yunning established his own family and cultivated several king-level dragon elves to ensure the safety of his descendants for generations.
A rapid alarm sound woke Yun Ning from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and took her cell phone in front of her. It was already 6 o'clock, and it was time to get up and move bricks.
Dreams are always beautiful, but you have been lying in bed, and no matter how beautiful the dream is, it will not come true for a day.
