Xu Xiangyang looked at his small body and thought that he could not escape the fate of doing hard labor.
Let’s take it step by step!
He smiled and said, "Okay, Comrade Zhang, if you do anything wrong, remember to tell me."
Building good relationships is the first step. No matter what you do, you have to greet people with a smile and leave a good impression.
Seeing that he was quite humble, Zhang Xiao nodded and asked him to go help others with the work without saying anything else.
Seeing that everyone was carrying food, Xu Xiangyang resigned himself to his fate and started carrying it too.
It was fine at the beginning and he could hold on, but after more than an hour, he couldn't keep up the physical strength.
I was so tired that I was out of breath and couldn't even lift my feet to walk.
Fortunately, the move was completed and everyone took a rest.
"How is it? Can you hold on?" Zhang Xiao walked over and asked at some point.
Xu Xiangyang thought to himself: I can’t hold on.
But I can't say this. I have to think about the future and I have to grit my teeth and hold on.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it." He replied, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
If you say you are tired and can't hold on, people will definitely think that you are not capable.
If you say you're not tired, it will only make things worse later, so it's best to say so.
Admit that you are tired, but you can persevere.
Zhang Xiao nodded, "Okay, do a good job."
After he said that, he turned and left.
The others nearby were all resting. Everyone was very tired, after all, it was physical work.
In addition, they couldn’t eat enough at that time, so they were all skinny and few of them grew strong.
"Are you new here? This job is very tiring. I don't think you can last for a few days." A man in his forties sat next to him, lighting an old dry cigarette.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him and touched his lips. He also liked to smoke, but after coming here, he had no money to buy cigarettes.
He couldn't find any cigarettes in the space, so now when he saw others smoking, he felt a little addicted.
"Comrade, I don't like to hear that." Xu Xiangyang said with a smile, "It's always tiring to work out here. Money can't just fall from the sky and land in my pocket, right?"
Isn't this just chatting? Even looking down on others should have a limit.
Although Xu Xiangyang felt that what he said was true, he really had no other choice but to take this path.
If he wanted to make money, there would be no easy physical work and he was not good at it, but if he had the opportunity, he could make a difference and find a good job.
The man smiled when he heard his words and said, "There's nothing wrong with what you said. Do your best."
Xu Xiangyang didn't care when he saw him chatting with other people.
I looked up at the sky and it was foggy. It looked like it was going to snow again.
Just now he noticed that there was a lounge next to it with a stove.
After I finish my work, I can probably go there to rest for a while.
"Okay, have you all rested enough? Let's get up and work." Zhang Xiao urged everyone to get up and work, and then he went to chat with the driver.
Xu Xiangyang stood up resignedly, rubbed his sore shoulders, and hurried to work with everyone else.
You have to make a good impression on your first day and be proactive in your work.
Leaders all like to see this, and no one likes subordinates to slack off.
Although it is now a state-owned unit, work efficiency has not improved and it is these small-time cadres who are criticized.
At noon, Xu Xiangyang used his meal ticket to get his meal in the cafeteria. He had prepared a lunch box in advance, so he got his meal smoothly.
The meal consisted of two steamed buns and a serving of cabbage stewed with potatoes in a watery soup.
Although these were not very delicious, it was the first time he had eaten stew here, except in the space.
There wasn't much oil or water in the food, but I still had some food to eat.
Xu Xiangyang didn't waste anything, and since he had done physical work for the whole morning, he ate it all.
Even a little hungry...
This is normal. How can you have a full meal without oily food?
For example, eating some meat oil can be a big deal.
After dinner, Xu Xiangyang followed everyone to wash the lunch boxes and then returned to the lounge.
There were only three rows of wooden benches inside, and you could lean against the wall to rest for a while. There was a stove in the middle with a fire burning in it, so the room was not cold.
"Brother, how do you feel?"
Xu Xiangyang looked up at the person who was speaking. It was the man who had just teased him.
He smiled and replied, "It's okay. I'm tired from working."
This is the truth. Working is always tiring. Lying at home isn't tiring, but you won't make any money.
It was the first time the man saw such a thin boy doing physical work, and he didn't complain.
He sat next to Xu Xiangyang and said, "My name is Yan Lao San. Everyone calls me Lao San. What's your name?"
"My name is Xu Xiangyang, just call me Xiangyang." Seeing that he had no ill intentions, Xu Xiangyang was willing to say a few words to him.
I don’t have many friends in the city, so it would be nice to have someone I know, at least I won’t be at a loss.
Yan Lao San nodded and said, "Brother Xiangyang, our work here is only busy for one or two months. We don't move food every day. You can get your salary if you persevere."
He saw that the young man was a good person who could endure hardships, so he encouraged him.
"Thank you." Xu Xiangyang thanked him. He didn't know how the work was done in the granary, so he had an idea in his mind when he heard this.
He took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the granary, and Yan Laosan told him everything without hiding anything.
You can find out all this by just asking around, so there’s nothing wrong with telling it.
The man Yan Lao San was facing suddenly smiled and said, "Lao San, you are quite kind-hearted."
Yan Lao San knew that he was joking, but he didn't get angry. "I'm happy to do that."
The two of them chatted back and forth, then started talking about other things.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone started to get up and stretch their bodies as they were about to continue working.
Although Xu Xiangyang felt a little sore, he could accept it and stood up.
He had just found out that the grain moving work at the granary would be completed in about half a month, and the next step would be to clean up the granary.
The New Year is coming soon, and we can’t let the food be eaten by rats.
The afternoon's work went very quickly. After all, it was dark at 3:30 and everyone got off work at 5:00, so time passed quite quickly.
Zhang Xiao found Xu Xiangyang and saw that he was in good condition, so he said, "Comrade Xu, you must be here at 7:30 tomorrow. I will call your name then. If you don't come, you will be considered late. Remember to come early."
Every time a new person comes, he has to give some instructions, so he has to say something.
Xu Xiangyang nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I won't be late."
Everyone set out on their journey home, but Xu Xiangyang had no home to return to.
As usual, he found a deserted place nearby and entered the space. This was his shelter for the time being.
The grain depot does not provide housing for temporary workers, so he can only do this for now.
You can get your salary if you stick with it for a month, and it will be the same if you look for a house after the New Year.
If I want to find a house now, I have to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year, which is a waste of money.
