The Era of Hard Work

The lowest floors of Hailong Building are almost finished. Yang Fugui put on a hard hat and followed the horses down to the ground floor. The huge basement is covered with marble tiles, which is quite upscale.

There is also a passage on the other side of the basement, which directly enters the security room of the building, so that people can leave through the back door.

When designing, Yang Fugui specially asked people to modify the drawings.

Perhaps at that time, he had some thoughts.

I am used to making quick money, but it is difficult to make money a little bit with peace of mind.

Taking advantage of the fact that the person with the relationship happened to be in charge of Ningxiu Town, he would change careers after earning a little more money.

Ma Yunlai walked around the basement and said, We will put a few more tables here, and only accept old customers and those who are brought by old customers...

Listening to the words of his most trustworthy subordinate, Yang Fuguo said slowly: It's shipped, we will work for another year at most, and we will wash our hands and go ashore completely.

Ma Yunlai paused and said, Okay.

Nowadays, the management is getting stricter and the business is getting harder and harder.

Fortunately, they have a very reliable relationship. If there is any trouble, they will receive the news as soon as possible.

After all these years, there has never been an accident on the official side. As long as the person is still there, there is no need to worry.

Yang Fugui walked through the spacious basement and went upstairs through another passage: Here, you can do this yourself.

Ma Yunlai smiled: Brother Yang, don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly.

Yang Fugui nodded, and didn't say any more. Those invisible things on his side are all operated by Ma Yunlai.

Ma Yunlai quickly got busy, calling, looking for people, ordering utensils and so on.

This busy work came at night, when it got dark, Ma Yunlai had dinner, his hands were itchy, he took out his mobile phone to make a call, drove Santana into Chengguan Village, parked the car at the side of the spacious alley, got off and turned into A narrow alley leading to a metal gate.

There was a barking dog, and there was a small window on the door. When the people inside saw the horses coming, they hurriedly stopped the barking dogs, opened the iron door, and greeted, Brother Ma, here we come.

Ma Yunlai nodded, and quickly walked in: Shitou, are there many people tonight?

Shi Shi looked left and right, closed the door, and said, There are three people here.

Ma Yunlai followed him into the house, sat next to the card table, and looked at each other. The young people opposite him knew each other.

This man was in his twenties, thin and lean, and he seemed to have fought a tractor together in the first month of the lunar year, and lost very badly.

Ma Yunlai recalled it for a while, and said to the lean man, I remember you, from Majia Village.

Hello, Brother Ma! The lean man greeted with a smile, and said, My name is Hu Bin.

Shitou interjected: Brother Ma, just call him Wenwu.

Ma Yunlai asked, Lv Dong, who sells Mala Tang in University Town, is your cousin?

Hu Bin said: Yes! Lu Dong and I are cousins.

Ma Yunlai said casually: Your cousin is very powerful, he is a figure in the university town.

Hu Bin misunderstood the meaning: Did he offend you, Brother Ma? Many people like to show off their face in this kind of thing: He was afraid of me when he was young, Brother Ma, if he wants to provoke you, I will cut him Ask this bastard to apologize to you!

Ma Yunlai waved his hand: No. Don't talk about this, let's play cards!

Several people sat at the table and played with the tractor again.

…………

In the dark night, an orange Jialing motorcycle turned on the concrete road from the county road with its headlights on, and soon entered Qiaojia Village. The street lamp at the entrance of the village illuminated a bald head.

Qiao Weiguo returned home, just as he pushed the cart through the gate, his father, Laoqiao, came out of the main room, looked at the dilapidated Jialing cart, and said, Weiguo, come here, let's have a good time.

Understood. Qiao Weiguo put the car away and followed him to the main room.

There is a small round table in the main room, with a pot of brewed tea on it, and a few pieces of paper beside the tea pot.

Old Qiao sat at the table and pointed to the opposite: Sit down.

Qiao Weiguo sat down and said very little. Old Qiao didn't ask, and he didn't say anything.

I'll give you money and tell you to buy motorcycles, TVs and refrigerators. Old Qiao took a sip from his teacup, What about the business you bought?

Qiao Weiguo will not make up nonsense: Give the money to Lu Dong, and we will open a shop together.

Old Qiao pointed to his bald head and said, Why are you so ignorant with your elm head? If you don't have a new motorcycle, which girl would sit on the back seat of you?

Qiao Weiguo still told the truth: Following Lu Dong can make money, it's not bad.

Lu Dong is a good person, the best good person. Old Qiao first sent a good person card to Lu Dong, and then said: You are already twenty-two, so don't think about it. Finding a wife is more important than making money?

He raised his voice slightly: Money can be earned at any time! Daughter-in-law, it will be hard to find you when you are older. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?

Qiao Weiguo had other things on his mind, and he didn't care about finding a wife for the time being: I'm not in a hurry.

You... Old Qiao hated iron for being weak: You are stupid after practicing martial arts!

Qiao Weiguo took a teacup, poured water for himself, and didn't speak.

Business has losses and gains. Lao Qiao's typical thinking of the older generation in the countryside, always seek stability: I have put away the book of death, and you have become the best with Lu Dong this time. With this money in my pocket, I won't even be unable to find a daughter-in-law.

He had no intention of not letting Qiao Weiguo work with Lu Dong, but he felt that it was safest to follow Lu Dong with a high salary.

Qiao Weiguo still didn't speak, anyway, no matter what his father said, he just wanted to follow Lu Dong.

In this life, he has always recognized Lu Dong.

Qiao Weiguo thought of Qiao Siliang, Qiao Keli, and what he saw and heard in the market, and said, I don't want to become someone like Qiao Siliang.

Old Qiao waved his hand and drank a glass of water: I've been to Lu's Village twice in the past few days, and Lu Dong is a good person, keep following him.

Years ago, he had contacted Lu Dong many times. If someone like his son was dead, if he followed the wrong person, he might have to go in.

Qiao Weiguo looked at Old Qiao, but remained silent.

Back then, Qiao Keli beat him up first, then the teacher beat him up, and finally Old Qiao beat him up. Qiao Weiguo went to Dengfeng after he beat him up, and he became more and more silent, especially when facing Old Qiao alone.

The smoothness of communication between father and son is directly proportional to the age.

Old Qiao looked at the son with the elm head and said, Go to bed early.

He got up, staggered away.

Qiao Weiguo looked at the paper on the table, it was left over from posting posters and advertisements in the county town these days.

Pick it up and go back to bed.

At dawn the next day, Qiao Weiguo got up on time, went to the big yard with a five-tenth floor, and practiced boxing as he did in the past six months.

After practicing boxing, he took a stick about 50 cm long and used the sword he learned in the martial arts school to beat a sandbag hanging under the tree on the south wall.

Following Lu Dong to arrest unruly people a few times, he understood one thing, the unarmed one cannot beat the armed one.

The car bandit leader named Lao Qin who lived in the same room with Qiao Keli was also strong and strong, but he couldn't even catch Lu Dong's move. Didn't he get hit by Lu Dong's hidden weapon first?

In the words of Lao Du, biological hidden weapons are also weapons.

After morning exercise and breakfast, Qiao Weiguo took the poster and paste, rode Xiao Jialing into the county town, and went directly to the labor market.

The decoration of the store has been completed for the most part, and it is necessary to recruit manpower. Lu Dong told him that there are two types of manpower to be recruited. One is long-term permanent workers, such as cashiers and kitchen staff, and the other is that various schools are willing to work. Students who work odd jobs.

It is said that it can reduce... Qiao Weiguo thought for a long time before he remembered the word Lu Dong said, labor cost.

When I came to the labor market, because it was relatively early, there were a lot of people in the labor market, at least hundreds of people.

It seems that there are many people looking for temporary jobs in the county.

Qiao Weiguo saw that many people were frowning, as if people in the city were not having an easy life.

He doesn't care who is recruited, and he is not good at it.

Qiao Weiguo got out of the car, found a job recruitment notice board, and posted job advertisements with paste.

Then, I rode to the front and posted a few stickers on the trees and poles as well.

When the brand-new recruitment notice was posted, people immediately gathered around to read it, but after reading it, most of them shook their heads and walked away because their conditions were not suitable, and it said that only people aged 18 to 23 were recruited.

Many people in their 40s and 50s sighed: It is difficult to find a good job when you are old.

They have stayed in the same factory all their lives, and they often only do one or two jobs. The factory that they have worked in for 20 or 30 years will collapse as soon as they say it.

Coming out of the factory, I always feel that this society is really strange, and my eyes are smeared. Where can I find a job with a stable income and a long-term job?

There are also private companies recruiting people, but they are not suitable for various reasons, and the benefits are not directly proportional to the work they do.

In addition, many companies with low technical content would rather recruit inexperienced young people to train them than use them as skilled workers.

This society is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

After Qiao Weiguo put up the job recruitment poster, he didn't wait too long. He rode his car out of the county town and rushed to the university town. Although he could go there in the middle of the morning, he could help the store with decorations if he arrived early.

Not only shop No. 1, but also the accessories shop over there in Heidan is also being renovated, and it will open before the Malatang shop.

…………

University City, not far from the central intersection to the north, taking advantage of the time before class in the morning, Song Na rushed over from the school, opened the door and went up to the second floor.

Her parents lived on the second floor last night and did not go back to the village, because the second floor was filled with a batch of goods that had just arrived, and the old man was worried that no one would look at the goods.

The two were packing up the goods, and Lao Song asked, Nizi, can the shelves arrive today?

Song Na said: I asked, and it will be delivered in the afternoon. It's just in time for me to finish class. Don't worry, we won't miss a day or two.

Her mother, Yao Hui, said: Can you not be in a hurry? I have invested so much money in, but I can't see the money coming back. I feel flustered.

Song Na widened her mother's heart: Mom, we can earn this money back.

Yao Hui didn't have much right to speak at home. Lao Song agreed with his daughter to open the store, but she objected to no avail. She said, Nizi, you have ordered a lot of containers. Why don't you call back to the village and ask some people to come over and help move things.

No need. Song Na said: I have many friends, and they will come to help when the time comes.

Yao Hui asked: Those men who came last time?

Song Na nodded: Just them, I invested with them and opened a store in the south. She said with a smile: Dad, you and my mother can just watch, we will finish it in a while.

Her father has a bad waist and a herniated disc in the lumbar spine; her mother has bad legs and has effusion in her knees.

It's all the faults of working up and down in the mountains over the years.
