Chapter 2 Turbulent Times 2



Faced with a woman as gentle as jade, 20-year-old Zhou Yuan is full of passion.

However, the contractor's daughter Liu Xiaofang is an experienced driver.

It's windy and rainy outside.

The people in the room were completely unaware.

Soon the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. A full moon hung in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on the earth.

The distant place is hazy under the moonlight, and the sky is dotted with stars, which is extremely beautiful.

In 1985, there was little pollution in the air, so the sky on clear nights was very clean, as if it had been washed by water, clear and pure.

The stars are so dazzling, constantly blinking at people.

The moon is so beautiful and bright. If you look closely, you will find Chang'e dancing on it.

The watery moonlight covers the earth with a layer of silver gauze, making it look both mysterious and charming.

The city, which has been bustling all day, is now particularly quiet, showing its static beauty.

At some point, everything finally calmed down and Liu Xiaofang put on her clothes and went back.

Zhou Yuan closed the door, returned to his bed, and soon fell asleep.

The weather was good the next day and the workers on the construction site were working hard.

This is a river diversion project, and a five-story school building is also being built. It is a well-known high school in the area.

Zhou Yuan guards flammable and explosive items and has to work during the day, so the contractor gives him an extra 20 yuan every month.

It's extra income.

Zhou Yuan worked as a bricklayer and learned the craft from his foreman, who was a native of the village. His surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Danian.

At that time, apart from the contractor, only the team leader was qualified to take apprentices.

Zhang Danian alone had five apprentices, and Zhou Yuan was the third oldest. He had the eldest and second oldest brothers in front of him, and two younger brothers behind him.

Because he graduated from high school, had a certain level of education, and was smart and hardworking, Zhou Yuan learned faster than his seniors and juniors.

In just two years, he was able to independently lay bricks, paste walls, and do other operations.

But there are still many things with high technical content that I have not learned yet.

Now that I have been reborn, I want to learn skills as quickly as possible and make a name for myself.

During the break, Zhou Yuan handed cigarettes to several masters who worked with him, lit them with matches, and then said with a smile.

"Masters, could you please guide me more often in the future? I really want to learn some skills."

"You're such a smart kid, do you really need a guide? You'll learn it in just a few glances."

One of the masters, named Zhong, put the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, blew out a string of smoke rings and smiled.

"Yes, Xiao Zhou is the smartest, most diligent, and most handsome apprentice I've ever met.

You will definitely have a bright future."

A master named Li next to him also started to grumble.

We all work together every day, and it's easy to tell who's more diligent and who's more intelligent.

As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you.

They are all apprentices, doing the same work, but some progress quickly and some progress slowly.

Progress and happiness are of course welcomed by people.

However, before his rebirth, Zhou Yuan was soon ostracized by the contractor because he rejected the good intentions of the contractor's daughter. He was not allowed to continue learning the craft and was forced to carry sand and cement every day.

The construction sites in 1985 were not like they are today. They all used special cranes or lifting frames.

At that time, there were only a few very tall high-rise buildings on the construction sites.

On ordinary small construction sites, sand, cement, bricks and other construction materials are carried upstairs layer by layer by hand.

Moving bricks is really moving bricks. I sweat like rain every day and my back and waist ache from exhaustion. After working for nearly ten hours a day, I can't even straighten my back to walk.

It was because of this that Zhou Yuan could no longer stay on the construction site.

But now, rebirth has given him the opportunity to choose again.

This time he made the right choice.

Look, Zhou Yuan was talking with several masters when the contractor Liu Dayong came to see him specifically.

From a distance, he waved to him and called out, "Zhou Yuan, come here, come here."

The foreman was the local tyrant on the construction site. When Zhou Yuan saw this guy calling him, he quickly stood up, dusted off his butt, ran over happily, and asked with a grin:

"Boss, you called me?"

"Yes." Liu Dayong squinted his eyes and looked Zhou Yuan up and down for a long time, and finally said casually:

"You've been doing well recently. Even my precious daughter praised your intelligence and said you're a promising talent. She asked me to promote you and train you.

So after much deliberation, I decided to send you to a construction engineer class. This is a short-term training program in the construction engineering field, specifically designed to teach you about construction.

After graduation, you can take the construction worker qualification certificate. If you get the construction worker qualification certificate, you can make a living as a construction worker.

Would you like to go?"

"Of course I'm willing to go. Thank you, boss. Thank you so much, boss."

When Zhou Yuan heard that the contractor was going to send him to a construction worker training course, he was overjoyed.

Quickly thank the boss.

Liu Dayong waved his hands and said with a bit of a toothache: "Since my daughter spoke well of you, I can waive your tuition, but you won't get any salary during the study period. The most I can do is reimburse you for food and travel expenses.

Do you have any comments?

"No, no, thank you, boss."

Having the opportunity to study and having food and travel expenses reimbursed is already a great thing. How could Zhou Yuan dare to ask for anything else?

So thanks to the boss again.

It would be great to learn professional knowledge. It is an opportunity to change your destiny.

He failed the college entrance examination and was not admitted to university, which deprived him of the opportunity to continue his studies. He could only return to the countryside to farm and live a life of toiling in the earth day after day.
