Chapter 496: Lu Hou'er's experience and the discussion of Edokou

The ferry sailed to Linjiang Port. Because he was so bored in the cabin, Jiang Yichen and his party came to the deck for a walk and a breath of wind.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Yichen asked about Lu Houer's original work at the construction site.

Lu Houer said that after graduating from high school at the age of 18, he started working in the city. Because he heard from his fellow villagers that he made a lot of money on the construction site, he followed him in a state of temptation.

When I came to the construction site, I met the foreman and then started working as a small worker, doing all kinds of miscellaneous things. Although I was dirty and tiring, my income was indeed pretty good, which was much better than farming in the countryside.

Later, the foreman said that he was small and flexible, and was very suitable for steel bar workers. This can be a high-paying technical job on the construction site. After proficiency, he can earn about 200 yuan a day. If he works for a long time, he will earn even higher in the future.

Since there are such great benefits, Lu Houer agreed without thinking much.

The main job of the steel bar workers is to make and install steel bars on the construction site.

According to the drawing, cut the steel bars to the required length, or bend them into the required shape, and then transport them to the structural construction site. The steel bar cage is tied with fine iron wire according to the drawing. The joints that need to be welded must be welded by a welder.

In fact, this job is not very technically demanding. However, because the construction environment is complex, construction workers cannot choose those tall and burly people, and slow to respond.

Lu Houer was very smart. She studied hard with her master and soon got started, and her income quickly increased a lot.

However, at this time he truly experienced why the steel bar workers were called hard, dirty, and tiring.

Construction is mostly open-air and high-altitude work, especially in summer, working on it is really a torment. But this is nothing. At the construction site, there is almost no easy and comfortable work.

The biggest problem is its danger. It is said that foreign media once rated construction reinforcement workers as one of the top ten dangerous occupations in the world.

Although Lu Houer was very careful, he still encountered two accidents. The first time it was a falling object from a high altitude, it flew over his body and made a big cut on his shoulder.

What's more serious is the second time. One day in October last year, he was doing steel bar binding operations at a high place. At that time, the pedal under his feet suddenly broke. His body was instantly suspended. Fortunately, he had a seat belt and did not fall down. However, a horizontal steel bar on the outside of his right thigh was poked a hole, and blood was flowing. He was shocked.

He was soon rescued by his colleagues and sent to the hospital for surgery. Fortunately, he did not hit any vital parts. After staying in the ward for a while, he was discharged from the hospital and returned to his hometown to recuperate. Now he is fine, but there is still a conspicuous scar on his thigh.

"Ah, it's so terrible." Qingqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in a low voice when she heard this.

"You are too careless. You are still clumsy and have lost the name of "monkey"." Xizi curled her lips and said.

"Where are you not wet when you walk by the river? There are accidents every year on the construction site. I heard that construction companies have casualties in the Municipal Construction Committee every year. If they exceed them, they will be punished." Lai Shuner once worked on the construction site, and talked about what he heard at that time.

"Hey, to be honest, my little injury is nothing. We have a master there. That's a miserable thing." Lu Houer shook his head and continued to talk about his past.

Just earlier on the same construction site, a steel bar worker in his thirties was working, but his seat belt was not tied properly. He suddenly took off and fell from the sky. He was immediately penetrated by a erect tendon underneath, which made him feel cold and even his intestines flow out. At that time, Lu Houer and many colleagues witnessed this tragic scene with their own eyes.

The man was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, but he was unable to rescue him due to excessive blood loss. A few days later, his wife and daughter rushed over and heard the news. The crying and wiping tears still make people feel heartbroken when they think about it.

When Qingqing heard this, her face turned pale and she felt like she wanted to vomit. So she quickly walked away and went to the other side to breathe the sea breeze.

This was obviously a heavy topic. The rest of the people empathized with it and sighed. Jiang Yichen patted Lu Houer on the shoulder to show comfort. It is indeed not easy to do any business.

During the time when Lu Houer was recuperating in her hometown, she thought that although the construction site earned a lot of money, she felt that she was really vain and didn't want to do it anymore. She planned to go to Linjiang to find a security guard or a restaurant waiter after the Chinese New Year. Although her income was lower, she was very down-to-earth after all.

Later, Shi Suoer from the same village came to the door and pulled him into the gang. The two hit it off and came with them this time.

Jiang Yichen nodded and encouraged him to work hard after going to the island and have a future in the future.

After a while of silence, everyone changed the topic and started talking about something else.

Xizi walked to the side of the guardrail, took out her cell phone and made a phone call, which sounded like she was looking for Lao Dou.

When he turned back, Shi Suoer asked quickly:

"Have you left yet?"

"What's your business?" Xizi glanced at him sideways.

"Why doesn't it matter to me? It's because you feel guilty, right?" Shi Suoer retorted.

"Just, can you still make me feel false at this level? Look in the mirror by yourself."

"Okay, okay, why are you just arguing? I'm going to tell you, you're not going to have a chance, and they're still a household registration in Linjiang City, so don't dream." Lai Shun'er sarcastically said.

"Is Linjiang Dokou very awesome? I've been asking about it a long time ago. The current policy is that you can apply for settlement by buying a house. I plan to save money for the previous year and then I can mortgage a large two-bedroom apartment next year. Then I will be a city home." Xizi said confidently.

The income of the three islanders is not low and they don’t spend much money on their daily lives. Moreover, under the strict control of the island owners of Jiang, they dare not go to the city to make money. So over time, basically each of them has saved up a considerable amount of deposits, and buying a house with a mortgage is not an unattainable goal.

So the topic immediately turned into a big discussion on the Linjiang real estate market. Even Lu Houer was very interested in it and joined in, and the atmosphere became very warm for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen smiled slightly. The young man made buying a house as his goal, which is obviously the right way and deserves encouragement.

But at this time he was not convenient to say anything, so he turned around and left the crowd and went to chat with Qingqing.

In the afternoon, the boat arrived at Linjiang Port.

The two cars disembarked one after another and drove directly to Longwan Village.

In the parking lot outside the Jinchang Club Wharf, everyone parted ways. Jiang Yichen and Qingqing returned to the city, while the other people returned to Yunsha Island.

Jiang Yichen reminded Lai Shun'er to take care of Lu Houer more and let him adapt to the working and living environment on the island first, and not to put too much burden on the burden immediately, so as to avoid situations such as unacceptable conditions.
