Chapter Three
Lin Yongquan is a real person. He had the best relationship with him when he was in school, so he has kept in touch with him all these years.
But now they are all married and living a good life, and their children are already playing tricks. When I look at myself, I feel ashamed...!
"Yongquan...!"
"You also know my situation. My family doesn't have any money, so all these years of college can be said to have been in vain."
"well…!"
"I'm here for you this time, and I won't say anything else in the future."
"It's all in the wine!"
Bai Hua raised the beer in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
"What are you talking about?"
"Who among us is following whom!"
"We were close friends when we were in school. If you come to me this time, it means you think highly of me."
"Since you are willing to come to the construction site and endure hardship, there is nothing to say."
"It's okay. If someone dares to bully you in this construction site from now on, I won't be the first to spare him!"
After saying that, he drank the beer in his hand.
Lin Yongquan's character was like this, he was forthright and righteous. I remember when I was in school, I often fought with him against students from other classes.
It has been so many years now, and the only thing that has changed is his appearance and skin, which have been tanned black and red by the sun, and his figure has become much stronger.
After dinner, Lin Yongquan introduced himself to Meng, the elder of the construction site.
"Lao Meng..., this is what I mentioned to you yesterday, my classmate Bai Hua."
At this time, in the small canteen of the kitchen, Lao Meng was kicking one foot on the stool, leaning forward, holding a rice bowl in his hand and chewing hungrily.
Bai Hua followed Lin Yongquan into the small canteen and saw the Foreman Meng in front of him. He was very tall, probably because of his busy work, and the safety helmet was still on his head.
What impressed Bai Hua the most was his full beard, which he probably hadn’t shaved for a long time!
"Ah..., here it comes!"
"Okay, there happens to be a shortage of manpower at the construction site," Lao Meng hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, but when he saw the white white birch, a dissatisfied expression appeared on his face.
"This is your classmate...?"
"Keep studying!"
"Can he endure the hardship on the construction site...?"
I was full of expectations at first, but after seeing the person in person, my face immediately darkened.
"Forger Meng, I can do it."
Just as Lin Yongquan was about to speak, Bai Hua hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"I am twenty-three years old this year. When I am at home, I often help my parents work in the fields."
"I can endure any hardship."
After hearing what Bai Hua said, Lao Meng smiled contemptuously.
"Well, since you said so and Lin Yongquan introduced you, you can stay!"
"What I need are people who can endure hardships and are not lazy or slippery. If I find that you are not qualified for the job here, then get out of my way quickly."
"Well, the construction site is busy, so let's go to work in the afternoon!"
"Thank you, Engineer Meng...!" In fact, the main reason is that there is really a shortage of people on the construction site. Otherwise, Lao Meng might really look down on Bai Hua's conditions.
Later, after dinner, Lao Meng arranged a dormitory for Bai Hua. Because Chen Yongquan's dormitory had no extra space, Lao Meng arranged Bai Hua in another dormitory. It was still a top bunk!
There is nothing we can do, the construction site is like this, it would be nice to have a place to live.
In the afternoon, Bai Hua went to work directly with Lin Yongquan.
There is nothing too complicated on the construction site, and my job is very simple, which is to push sand, ash, bricks, etc. for the master bricklayers.
When Bai Hua didn't come, the masters often delayed production due to lack of materials. This time it was better. Although Bai Hua was new, it didn't take him a while and he quickly became familiar with the work.
Mainly because Lin Yongquan was on hand to help and give guidance, and Bai Hua also took the job very seriously, so Lao Meng's original worries became unnecessary.
Because this afternoon was very busy, the time ended quickly.
When he got off work, Bai Hua came to the sink and washed his dusty face.
"White Birch..."
"How about it?"
"It's your first day of work, are you used to it?"
At this time, Lin Yongquan just came back from the construction site and asked Bai Hua happily.
"There's nothing we can't do. We're all from rural areas. As long as we're willing to endure hardships and be tired, that's fine!"
Bai Hua wiped his face and said nonchalantly.
"That'll do!"
"Stop cooking for a while."
"Brother, please come down to the hotel and pick me up!"
Lin Yongquan is definitely sincere, because the work of the masters on the construction site is now based on piecework. Bai Hua came today, so all the masters including Lin Yongquan earned a lot more money.
How can he be unhappy?
"I won't go, I won't go."
"I already ate at noon."
Bai Hua really didn't want to go because she was very tired today and just wanted to sleep after eating. After washing her face, she went back to the dormitory.
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door of the living area...!"
After Lin Yongquan finished speaking, he flew back to the dormitory to change clothes.
Uh..., okay!
After getting off work, Lin Yongquan called several fellow masters. Although everyone put on clean clothes, they could not hide their identity as migrant workers.
Bai Hua didn't change clothes at all because she was really tired and had no time to change.
What's even more sad is that this construction site is newly developed and there are no restaurants nearby. Although these masters earn a lot of money, none of them is willing to buy a car or anything, so they can only...walk there.
!
Bai Hua regrets this. Why can't he insist on insisting on Lin Yongquan? Why do he have to go out to eat?
After walking for more than ten minutes, a few people arrived at a lively place in the city.
"Let's have barbecue...!"
"It's a little cooler outside, so you can order whatever you want. I'm treating you today."
In fact, Lin Yongquan's main purpose today was to catch the wind and wash away the dust of Bai Hua. The lunch he had at noon was just a casual meal, and this was the main meal.
Because he didn't know the others, Bai Hua couldn't say anything. If he was alone, he could just eat something and go back quickly.
We are all very tired. We have to work tomorrow!
This time in the summer is when barbecues are most popular. The smell of barbecue smoke mixed with the noisy voices of diners makes it really lively.
There were more than twenty tables, but almost all of them were full. So Bai Hua and the others found a table next to them and sat down.
At this time, a person who looked like a waiter ran over,
"Brothers are here!"
"What do you want to bake?"
