When Chen Cang arrived at the Wahou Brick and Tile Factory, he was deeply shocked. He found that although they were doing the same work, the mental outlook of the Wahou people was completely different from that of the Dashutun people.
The people in Dashutun work very slowly. They are as lax as they can be, pretending to be sick and slacking off, peeing for half an hour and shitting at three o'clock.
The people of Wa are in high spirits, with a happy expression on their faces. They are as energetic as the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, as if they have endless energy.
Chen Cang didn't understand. Did the people of Wa regard working as a happy thing?
According to Wan Feng's instructions, he found Zhang Hai and explained that it was Wan Feng who asked him to come.
Zhang Hai also knew Chen Cang. People from the same team would definitely meet each other sometime.
"Chen Cang, we don't have any card games here anymore. We used to have them, but now there's no gambling."
"I'm here to work. That Wan Xiaojidiao guy recommended me here."
"Ah? You're here to work? You're not going to work for two days and then run back to gamble, are you? I'm telling you, if you work for two days and then run away, no one will pay you."
Zhang Hai was even more ruthless. When Wan Feng told him that he had run away, he would give him half of the money, but he just waived it.
"Captain Zhang, please stop nagging me. What can I do? Don't delay me from making money."
"Fuck, that's so impressive, can you even push a water block?"
Pushing the level means pushing the water blocks rolled by the machine to a site dozens of meters away with a flatbed cart. You push it there and that's it. There are some young girls and wives who are responsible for stacking the water blocks one by one. Then you push the flatbed cart back and it's a work round.
"Come on, now that you've made up your mind, if others can do it, I can do it too."
"We calculate work points by the day. Eight hours a day counts as one work point, and overtime is calculated separately. If there are any family issues during this time, you can withdraw money, but you must be prepared to not receive any money. I'm afraid you will go gambling."
Chen Cang was depressed: "Captain Zhang, I finally made up my mind to come to work, can you please stop being such a sissy? I, Chen Cang, was also a good worker when I was young, so please stop nagging and hurry up."
"Go find Zhu Ping and ask him to make specific arrangements for you. He is now the person in charge of the brick factory."
Zhu Ping has been promoted to the general manager of the brick and tile factory in the past few months because of his good leadership in the brick and tile workshop. If Zhang Hai really becomes the brigade secretary in the future, Zhu Ping will be the best candidate to take over as the team leader of Wahou.
Under Zhu Ping's arrangement, more than ten minutes later, Chen Cang had pulled out the first truckload of water billets.
A cart of water-bricks has more than 20 pieces and weighs more than 100 kilograms. It is not heavy to pull on flat ground, but it is definitely not easy. If there is a small pit on the square, you may get stuck in the pit without using much force.
After making a few trips, Chen Cang began to adapt to this job.
At the end of September, the fields in southern Liaoning had already taken on a somewhat bleak look. The hillsides that were originally covered by lush crops were now exposed because the crops had been felled.
In addition to the young and middle-aged people working in the brick and tile factory, the middle-aged and older laborers in the Wahou team are harvesting crops on the mountain piece by piece under the leadership of the agricultural team leader.
Two horse-drawn carts and a tractor shuttled back and forth across the fields from time to time, transporting corn from the fields back to the team yard.
There are five or six elderly laborers in the team's yard. They are all over fifty years old and are no longer able to work in the field. Therefore, their task is to operate the husking machine to husk the corn.
The team's electrician Luan Jianshe is here to take charge and troubleshoot any possible malfunctions and problems with the peeling machine at any time.
Luan Jianshe, nicknamed "Luan" Jianshe, is Luan Feng's brother who moved out of the family after marriage, and Wan Feng's future uncle.
Luan Jianshe was sent to Bohai to learn electrical engineering technology in May. He just came back yesterday and was arranged by Zhang Hai to come here to look after these two machines today.
At this moment, he was staring at the two peeling machines in a daze.
Two old men operated the small husk peeling machine. One sat on a small stool at the feed port, feeding the corn ears into the machine one by one. The other was responsible for clearing the husks from the husk outlet away. After a while, he would use a wooden shovel to push the shredded corn out of the discharge port to prevent it from clogging up.
The larger machine had three old men. One of them used a shovel to scoop corn into the inlet, and the other two watched the row of husks and the outlet respectively.
In Luan Jianshe's words, it was like playing, and the speed was very fast. A cart of corn was eaten by two machines in just over ten minutes.
Therefore, despite having a tractor and two horse-drawn carts, not much of the corn that used to pile up in the yard was left.
"Uncle San, where did this machine come from? I've never seen this thing before. It's too high-tech."
"Feng'er's son-in-law tinkered with this. We've never seen this before. It saves a lot of manpower and time, but it consumes a bit of electricity."
"Feng'er son-in-law? Which Feng'er son-in-law?"
There are three women named Feng'er in Wahou, one is an old woman, one is a young wife, and the other is his sister.
"Your sister, and who else is Feng'er?"
My sister has a son-in-law? How come I didn't know?
I've been away for more than three months, and the girl has found a partner?
When Luan Jianshe was still confused, Xiao Jun drove his tractor into the yard and parked it on a vacant lot.
As soon as the three sides of the compartment were opened, the corn on the cart was unloaded by scratching it left and right with two teeth.
This time the tractor is in great condition. There is no black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, the horsepower is strong, and the steering wheel no longer sways from side to side. It is very pleasant to drive.
Yesterday he ran in the empty truck for a day as requested by Wan Feng, and started hauling loads today. Wan Feng said that hauling corn is a floating load, which is equivalent to running in the truck.
After a few days of hauling corn, the machine will be basically used, and then you can haul some heavy loads, such as sand and stones for Luan Feng's family.
Once all the stones and sand are removed, the bricks and tiles can be delivered to the brick factory.
Xiao Jun always suspected that what Wan Feng said was false. Isn't it abusing the power for personal gain to transport sand and stones to Luan Feng's family?
"This guy must be abusing his power for personal gain under the guise of running-in. Be careful that your son will be childless in the future." Xiao Jun blurted out this sentence subconsciously. After cursing, he was stunned, then smiled embarrassedly and continued talking to himself.
"Brother, I didn't mean to curse you. I just said it casually. Sorry!"
"Yawn!" Wan Feng, who was in class, sneezed violently.
Who's talking behind my back? Could it be that Luan Feng misses me again?
The sneeze was so loud that it startled Zhou Xiaowen who was doodling on the blackboard.
"Wan Feng, do you have a cold? If so, go to the brigade clinic and get two pills."
"It's okay! A little cold can't stop my enthusiasm for learning. I'll get over it after I endure it." Wan Feng said righteously, without blushing at all.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Chen Wenxin's contemptuous expression.
