The next day.

Before dawn, it was white and misty outside. Ji Huai had already gotten up to change his clothes, but he didn't turn on the lights, and was exploring with the faint light outside the window.

"Pa" Ai Qiao reached out and turned on the light, rubbed her eyes, and looked at him wearing shoes, "Why did you wake up so early?"

She didn't sleep all night the night before yesterday and became mentally weak. Last night, she was thinking about it in the middle of the night and felt uncomfortable all over. The baby in her belly was fussing, kicking her so much that it hurt her.

She had a light sleep in the second half of the night, and even if he got up gently, she woke up.

"The construction site starts recruiting people in the morning. If you don't go to breakfast, how can you get a job? You sleep for a while, then get up and buy breakfast. I don't know when I will come back. If I'm hungry, go buy food by myself." Ji Huai stood up and said to her.

Upon hearing this, Ai Qiao lost two points of sleepiness, turned around and took out three ten dollars from under the pillow, and handed it to him, "You must bring some money on your body."

"Ten yuan is enough." He leaned over, sucked a ten yuan, thought for a while, looked down at her, with confidence in his deep eyes, "Even if I go to move bricks, I can support you."

Ai Qiao looked at him with her erect eyes, her tense nerves began to slowly loosen, and her eyebrows also bent.

She always believed what he said.

"Sleep well, I'll leave." He stood up straight and walked towards the door, and helped her turn off the light when she went out.

Ai Qiao lay down again, tossing and turning, without any sleepiness.

The other end.

Ji Huai spent one dollar to buy two meat buns, and looked at the signs along the road and ate while walking. Bicycles kept riding by him, and from time to time there were also cars, mostly driven by small factories around him.

These days, cars are not cheap. Some cost more than 100,000 yuan, but more than 100,000 yuan is a huge sum. After all, the housing price is only about 2,000 yuan.

As a rapidly developing coastal city, tall buildings are being built here, and construction sites are under construction everywhere.

Later, he made a fortune by taking on small projects and took the opportunity to buy a few houses. Later, housing prices soared and he began to get rich.

When I walked to the nearby construction site, some people had gathered outside.

There were local villagers and migrant workers, and everyone gathered to sit together and stared at the construction site that had just opened.

Ji Huai also squatted beside him and continued to chew his buns. Yu Guang observed the tall and thin man next to him.

He lowered his head, took another bite of the bun, pretending to accidentally say to the side, "Brother, are you new here?"

The other party raised his eyebrows, "I've been here for several days."

"I've been there for more than half a month, and it seems that I haven't seen you." Ji Huai said, stuffing the last bite of bun into his mouth, "What are you doing?"

"Everyone is shoveling cement." The other party replied.

"Oh, then I'm always moving boards." Ji Huai answered.

"It's normal not to be together, it's normal not to see each other." After the man said, "It's quite hard for you to move the board."

"Everyone is doing physical work, so how can you not work hard? It is not easy to support your family and you can earn more money. You only earn two or three hundred yuan in the factory." Ji Huai talked to him.

"That's right, there are twenty-two yuan here. If you live a lot, your monthly income will be good. I have to raise two more children."

"My wife is about to give birth, and now I just want to make money." Ji Huai sighed, and he was having a great conversation with him.

"It costs a lot when a child is born."

...

As they were chatting, the contractor came out and the people present stood up and rushed over there. Ji Huai and the thin black man also ran. He also pulled him over quickly and ran very fast.

It looks skillful.

The contractor must have been the first to be able to get it, so there is no need to teach it anymore. The black and thin man smiled and called out, "Brother Qiang."

The contractor wore a yellow safety helmet and took the drawings to count the number of people. When he looked at Ji Huai, he paused. This guy looked pretty and had a little white and tender, unlike a coolie.

I don't seem to have seen it before.

"Brother Qiang." Ji Huai also smiled, "Can you work overtime tonight?"

This was just taken out of the black and thin man's mouth. He could subsidize twelve yuan for four hours at night, and he could also have a midnight snack.

"I don't know yet, go in." The contractor didn't think too much, and directly agreed that he had done it. His tone was quite skillful and looked high. He should have some strength to continue lit, "One, two, three..."

Nowadays, the city is built in large quantities and the system is not perfect. There are not necessarily people short of construction sites every day, especially handymen, who basically look for them on the same day.

He has no technical content. As long as he has worked, he is not a newcomer. He has already written down the faces who can't do it. He has no information about Ji Huai in his mind.

He is OK to do work by default.

Ji Huai quickly slipped in.

As soon as they squeezed in, the contractor stopped recruiting people, "Okay, there are fifteen people today. Let's talk about it tomorrow, there is no shortage."

Those who didn't get it looked disappointed. They would go to the next construction site or a fixed location. If there was a temporary shortage of people on other construction sites, they would drive there to find someone.

The black and thin man breathed a sigh of relief and could make money again today. He looked at Ji Huai and smiled, "You are running so fast."

"It's not me bragging. When I was in that construction site, I did two people's work alone. They were both regular workers and became a team leader. There were twenty-seven yuan a day. I came here to do it after the project was over." Ji Huai was a little bragging, and his scheming was not as deep as possible.

When talking about lies, my face doesn’t blush and my heart doesn’t beat, and my face is confident, which is exactly the same as it is.

"It's not bad to be a long-term worker." The black and thin man had just arrived and looked admiring to him.

"To be honest, you have to learn some skills in this industry, and you can't do anything. I've been on that construction site for more than a year and learned to read drawings and repair circuits, so naturally it's different from them." Ji Huai said this rightly. He would read the drawings, but he later took charge of the project, and in order to prevent others from lying to him, he learned it specially.

After hearing what he said, the black and thin man's eyes became brighter and his heart was filled with a grudge. Who doesn't want to learn some technology? He can't starve to death if he has the technology.

He became more enthusiastic about Ji Huai.

Ji Huai held his shoulders, deliberately walked slowly, observed him, and taught him some "skills" on the construction site from time to time.

He followed the other party to the back of Building 1 successfully, and because he was "obsessed with the conversation", he went to shovel cement with the other party.

Anyway, I used to move boards, but now I am following the black and thin man to shovel cement. I am definitely not skilled. The other party naturally understands it and helps him, and I give some advice from time to time.

"I'm thinking about such a big project, where is the turn of good things to us? But we also have to learn something, one or two floors of self-built buildings, circuits, doors and windows outside, don't I know how to do it?" Ji Huai followed him to get a shovel, put on a hard helmet, and whispered, "You can still learn something on a large construction site. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. The economy has developed and the houses must be built, so we will get better and better."

"I didn't say this to them either. They didn't listen anyway. They just felt that they had the strength to work and didn't think about what would happen tomorrow."

"You still have to make plans. You will lose the energy when you get old." The thin black man thought deeply. He had read a little, and felt that Ji Huai's words were in his heart.

Hearing the words, Ji Huai gently patted his shoulder, looked at him, pursed his lips, "Job, if you have the chance, I'll take you."

"Don't fool my buddy." The black and thin man took him to cut the cement bag again, "My name is Zhang Qi, a local."

"What do you do to fool you? I will teach you what I know. My name is Ji Huai. I live at No. 78 Xuhe Street. In this area, water, electricity, doors and windows. If you have a job, I will give you a kickback. I can take you to get started." Ji Huai looked righteous and immediately gave him a guarantee, "I can tell you this way, learn from me, go a few more times, and you will find out the basic circuit. Now I go to take some suite work from time to time, and come to the construction site if I don't have any suite work."

"Some time ago, I picked up two suites. I went to the construction site during the day and decorated the suite at night. However, if you are a beginner, you can only do some miscellaneous work. I can't give you much money, so I will only give you seven or eight yuan in one night."

In the words, it means making two portions of money a day, and learning some skills. With the skills, you can support your family.

When he was a teenager, he was not very exaggerated, and he was a little "just talk about the matter", which seemed more sincere.

With his super high deception skills, he kept painting cakes for Zhang Qi and was quite good at it. The other party really stuck with him and asked a lot of questions.

After a morning passed, Ji Huai figured out the entire work process and was familiar with it. He also followed Zhang Qi to have a meal and rest, and there were no flaws throughout the whole process.

Construction will start at 1:30 pm.

The sun is the hottest time, and sweat keeps dripping down. Ji Huai is working hard to shovel cement. He is already very skilled in his movements, and his clothes are already wet.

You can't stop for a moment, otherwise the supervisor will have a dark face until the sun gradually sets and all work will gradually end.

It was about to five o'clock, and the contractor came over and shouted, "Everyone work overtime tonight and finish this floor."

“Eat at six.”

When we heard about working overtime, we were happy.

Ji Huai also turned his head and said to Zhang Qi, "I saved money for a meal, and I still had twelve yuan of overtime pay."

"Not." The other party was also very happy.

After dinner.

The sky gradually darkened.

The construction site is full of wires and headlights are connected, and some places are still worn-out headlights that barely illuminate.

Everyone keep working.

The supervisor was also walking back and forth.

Ji Huai was working while observing.

It is naturally impossible to get the hard work on the construction site every day. How can you become a regular long-term worker?

That is to make the other party feel that he can not only sell his physical strength, but also sell his mental strength.

Perhaps because fate favored him, he was still thinking about how to create opportunities for himself, and opportunities came just now.

Just as the worker on the right was working hard to shovel the cement into the mixer, the headlights suddenly went out, and the mixer elevator also stopped.

It suddenly became pitch black.

"What's going on?" The contractor looked at the supervisor on the construction site, and the workers on the construction site also stopped.

"The wire is short-circuited. Is Lao Zhao here?" someone shouted in the front room, "Hurry up and let Lao Zhao go and have a look."

Everyone is rushing to make progress. With so many people working, time is money.
