Xu Gang said, "I guess we just go to places like drinking beer, eating watermelon, playing billiards and playing cards. When we do projects in Wushi, everyone will go."
Jishu nodded "Let’s follow"
There are many passers-by, and it is not surprising that Ji Shu and Xu Gang interspersed among the workers and followed them.
After about twenty minutes’ walk, the sun is still playing its residual heat in the sky, but the temperature has dropped, which is a good time for leisure and entertainment.
The worker in front limped into a shed.
A large piece of plastic sheeting keeps out the wind and rain, a stove, several tables, several stools and two billiards tables. This is the leisure and entertainment department.
The workers plunged in, and the proprietress greeted with a smile, "Do you also open two melons today?"
The workers kept saying "Open!"
"Yesterday, it was not sweet. The boss-in-law wants to wrap it up today!"
"package! Whether it’s sweet or not costs 50 cents. A melon has just been soaked in water to quench its thirst! "
Jishu listened to such a grounded answer, and looked back at Xu Gang with a smile.
Five or six minutes later, the big black watermelon in the red soil was cut into pieces and placed around the table by the workers, and some workers were sitting on the roadside with a piece of melon to eat.
This is a new road that has just opened to traffic. There are not many cars but many pedestrians.
Ji Shu looked at this scene full of fireworks and missed it very much.
Don’t talk about the sea city in the future, just say that a small city can’t find such a grounding gas shop.
When the workers had finished eating two big watermelons, Ji Shu went in and scanned a circle before picking a seat and sitting down with Xu Gang.
These two people were extraordinary as soon as they came in.
Several older workers noticed them when they were at the door.
Ji Shu is wearing a pair of five-point wide-leg pants above the knee and an ordinary white shirt.
Xu Gang is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and his hair is shiny like a small boss.
Xu Gang’s dark complexion is less conspicuous than Ji Shu’s.
Wife of shop-owner leaned in. "Comrade, we are playing cards and billiards here, not a restaurant. I just fry a few wine dishes for the workers later …"
Wife of shop-owner, these two are hungry. They are desperate to eat.
The proprietress scanned the workers and gave Ji Shu a wink. "We don’t have high-end food here."
Ji Shu is not hungry, but he is greedy for that big watermelon.
"Why don’t the proprietress give me a watermelon?"
At this time, there were not as many kinds of watermelons as later generations, and most of them were super-large watermelons.
Later, people cultivated a small watermelon for convenience of sale.
However, in the 1990 s, most watermelons weighed more than ten kilograms.
"I have only one watermelon left here today, and there are fifteen or six pounds. Where can you two eat it?"
"Nothing to drive, boss-in-law. I’ll treat the workers and uncles here."
Wife of shop-owner glance JiShu first saw such a strange.
She wouldn’t refuse to send money to the door, so she took the melon-killing knife and white knife, and a big melon was cut into almost twenty pieces with red sugar water flowing out.
Ji Shu first took a piece of watermelon and ate it to relieve fatigue. She handed it to Xu Gang again.
Isn’t this to dig people? Why did you eat melon?
Xu Gang was puzzled, but he took the watermelon and ate it.
Xu Gang finished eating watermelon and saw that there were more than a dozen melons on the table. The eyes of three workers sitting next to Ji Shu and Xu Gang kept looking this way.
They are absent-minded at cards, too. These two people are so noticeable!
Ji Shu suddenly pushed the watermelon to the uncle next to him. "How many slices does uncle eat?"
There are five people sitting at this table, except Ji Shu and Xu Gang, and three workers are not young, almost forty years old.
Ji Shu can see from their wrinkles and calluses that they are all senior workers.
Although these three people are playing poker, their eyes have been looking at Jishu and Xu Gang.
"no, no"
Uncle’s refusal accent seems to be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Ji Shu said, "We can’t finish eating such a big melon."
Said Jishu pushed the watermelon to the center of the table with a business card in his hand.
The business card was placed in the middle of the table.
Ji Shu has changed her business card several times since she arrived in Haishi, and this time she is the general manager of Jianyi Construction.
All three workers saw the business card.
The uncle sitting next to Ji Shu has a round face and looks very kind. He slowly asked, "What is the boss doing here?"
Ji Shu smiled and said, "Come and dig people."
Xu Gang’s pupil shakes so directly!
Ji Shu went on to say, "As far as I know, Xilai Construction Root didn’t sign a labor contract with you, and your salary is in his hand for half a year, so you usually take care of your meals, right?"
Xu Gang dark sigh he back to Wu Shi do bid these days estimate JiShu didn’t ask less.
Uncle round face looked at a table and the other two looked at Jishu again.
"If it’s the boss, you’ll know how much you pay. We can’t leave because the foreman pressed our salary for half a year."
The other two workers nodded and said, "There is a shortage of big workers now. Recently, new projects have been started to dig more people. It is not a wave of waves. Xiong Kai Construction came yesterday."
Another took a piece of watermelon and grandly bit it. "Thank you, boss. Please eat watermelon! However, we can’t leave because we can’t get back the half-year salary. In our line of work, we are so depressed. "
This is a hidden rule of the industry. Construction workers’ mobility and big wages have always been suppressed for a while because they are afraid of people running away.
This phenomenon has lasted for many years, and newspapers often have news of "migrant workers asking for wages", which is the hidden rule of unfair wage suppression.
When Ji Shu had an idea, he calmly said, "Come to our Jianyi Building, I will raise my salary directly and pay it once a month. I’m sure you can come."
The three workers exchanged a look and still didn’t seem to believe it.
"We are now a dollar a day salary package to eat and live, how much can you rise? Besides, how can you help us get the money? "
