By the time truckload after truckload of materials were unloaded, the large amounts of snow here had also been cleared.
It's minus twenty degrees Celsius, it's really too cold.
The man who was not wearing gloves got redness and swelling on his hands after working for a while.
But for those few places, I had to grit my teeth and persevere.
When Captain Lu saw so many people, he regretted, "I should have known not to bring so many people.
Other villages only send a dozen people, but we only have a hundred or so. What a loss."
He rubbed his hands and slowly walked up to Lao Du: "Leader, leader. Look, there are so many people coming from our village, isn't it a bit too much?
It's so cold, how about asking some of them to go back and have a dozen people come every day starting tomorrow?"
Lao Du looked at the man with a red face from the cold behind Captain Lu, pursed his lips and said, "Captain Lu, logically speaking, it's OK for a village to have ten or so men.
But isn't it true that there is strength in numbers? And the work can be done faster.
Ask your fellow villagers for their opinions. This is salary.
Although it’s a few cents lower than building a dam, it’s still a bit of money, right?”
Captain Lu was shocked: "And there is salary?"
His voice was sharp and shrill, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Even Liu Qingshan, who usually disliked Captain Lu, came over and said, "Old Lu, are you serious? And there's salary?"
"That's what Leader Du said just now. He also mentioned wages."
Everyone's eyes fell on Lao Du.
The heat made Lao Du's back feel like it was being roasted: "Didn't the commune tell you? The daily salary is 70 cents.
If you work for a month or two, you can earn thirty or forty dollars!"
There were discussions one after another. They had come here to build the cannery just for the quota.
The team leader said that only if each brigade can send people to repair the cannery will they give the village a quota.
Nowadays, extra wages are a pleasant surprise.
Liu Qingshan rubbed his red hands and walked forward eagerly: "Leader Du, you said there are wages, so can we have a few dozen more people from the village?"
Lao Du shook his head: "There are too many people, and we don't need so many for the time being.
Well, let's hurry up and get to work, as long as we have an idea of what's going on."
At this point, Lao Du also reacted.
I'm afraid the commune wanted to delay giving the money to the villagers, so they came up with this excuse.
Now that he had exposed this matter, he also had to inform the leaders of the commune.
After finally shoveling all the snow, I saw that it was already noon.
Because the commune did not prepare any meals, everyone sat cross-legged on the ground and took out cold cakes or steamed corn bread from their backpacks.
Lu Zhiye took out a small pot from his backpack, which he bought when he was transporting food.
"Lu Yong, go find some firewood."
Lu Yong looked at the food in Lu Zhiye's backpack and swallowed hard.
He quickly got up and went to the place where they had just cut down the tree.
I picked some branches over, they were wet and difficult to light.
Fortunately, Lu Zhiye brought some dry firewood when he came from home.
He took a few bricks from the side, stood them there, and placed the pot on top.
Pour the pear porridge in the bucket into the pot, put the chopsticks on the pot, and put a few cold pancakes in it.
This operation made people around him envious.
Lu Yong also had his own small pot. He started a fire by imitating Lu Zhiye's example, put some snow in the pot, and placed the steamed buns and eggs his mother brought on top.
There are quite a few men who work regularly and have experience, but the food they eat is not as good as that of the people in Dahe Village.
Especially the people in Daba Village, they were almost jealous when they saw many people in Dahe Village holding multi-grain cakes mixed with white flour.
Their brigade had a poor harvest and had to hand in a lot of public grain, so there wasn't much surplus food at home.
It was good enough to be able to take out steamed buns with dried vegetables now. Even Liu Qingshan only took out a few multi-grain vegetable cakes mixed with cabbage.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise and everyone looked over.
When Captain Lu saw that the noise came from his own team, he quickly stood up and walked over there.
Dachao's face flushed red as he shouted angrily, "What does my own food have to do with you?
Xiu'er and I have already divorced, and I have given her every penny of the food she was entitled to.
What I eat now is none of your business."
He has never had a good temper, but now he was so angry that the elders in the village looked at him sideways.
"Da Chao, look at what you said. Although you and my sister are divorced, our friendship is still there.
If I wanted to eat a piece of your cake, why would you refuse to let me have it?"
Xiu'er's younger brother spoke with great dissatisfaction, looking at Dachao as if he was an unforgivable sinner.
"Hey, Xiu'er's brother. They've already broken up, why are you still looking for Dachao?"
A burly man in his 40s nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said something to Dachao.
"So my sister has been married to him for so many years, and he just slept with her for nothing?"
His words made people frown. They usually told dirty jokes, but no one talked about the women in their family openly.
Captain Lu's expression became increasingly grim: "If I remember correctly, the fuse for their divorce was because your sister used up all the family money to build a house for you.
How can you be so shameless now? Captain Liu, are the people in Daba Village so shameless?
The two of them had obtained a certificate from our brigade. Since they were divorced, it didn’t matter if they got married. What’s more, they came to our house to ask for food.”
Liu Qingshan, who was originally watching the fun, was suddenly called out and said with some dissatisfaction: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Captain Liu, these are all members of your team. Could it be that everyone in your team is like this?
Who will dare to marry a girl to your brigade in the future? Or who will dare to marry a girl from your brigade? "
Lu Chuan stood behind Captain Lu and looked straight at Liu Qingshan.
"Oh my god, I just heard that a couple in Dahe Village got divorced.
I didn't expect there was such a connection. Who would dare to marry this girl in the future? If they marry her, won't she empty the whole house like a rat?"
"Yes, yes, I think the people in Dam Village are not good people.
Our village will not marry into their family in the future."
The whispered conversation of several people reached Liu Qingshan's ears.
His face turned blue and white at times, just like a color palette, which was very beautiful.
"Okay, okay, Xiu'er's brother, come back! Who needs one or two meals?"
