Chapter 1534 The truth is sad...(2/2)
Liu Sheng's eyes showed memories and he said slowly:
"After lunch, we went to the construction site together just like before. He handed me the shovel. I was building a wall at the time and didn't look at him. After a few seconds, I heard a scream.
I saw Lao Hong fall."
"Didn't he wear his seat belt when he fell?" He Feng asked.
Liu Sheng scratched his head, "I didn't pay much attention. I didn't look carefully to see if he was wearing a seat belt. Ah, by the way..."
Liu Sheng seemed to remember something, "He handed me the shovel at that time. When he came over, he didn't seem to have a seat belt on his waist."
Hearing this, He Feng roughly understood.
Illegal operation.
"You and Hong Fu live together?" He Feng asked.
"Yes, we live together."
"It's said that he only ate half or one tortilla a day at the construction site, right?"
When Liu Sheng heard him say this, he seemed to know some of the inside story.
"Sigh... It's not easy for Lao Hong to raise his daughter alone. He is very kind to his daughter, but very harsh on himself. They are given two tortillas every day on the construction site, and he eats one or half.
The rest was given to his daughter to eat. If his daughter couldn’t eat it, he saved it.”
"I told him several times, but he didn't listen. He had always done it this way before, and nothing happened. Alas..."
"Especially recently, he only eats half a tortilla every day, and the rest is given to his daughter. He said that his daughter needs to eat more as she is growing, but working on the construction site is already tiring, so he eats so much
Young, and so tired, sometimes his mental state is a little trance-like."
Sad.
He Feng and the others next to him felt somewhat sad when they heard what he said.
Xie Changshan was a little angry and helpless. He repeatedly emphasized that these workers must eat two tortillas every day, otherwise they would not be able to build.
But some workers took the tortillas and hid them instead of eating them, taking them home for their families to eat.
It's very sad because these workers also have unspeakable secrets. They endure hunger all for the sake of the people they love.
As the general person in charge of the construction site, there is nothing he can do.
Increase the food supply for construction site workers?
You must know that the daily food for construction site workers is now relatively good compared to before.
The food distribution for construction site workers at the trading market has increased, and the workers at the headquarters base will also increase.
Even if it's just one more tortilla every day, with such a huge base of workers, the pressure on new food every day is not small.
What's more, he is just the person in charge of the construction site, he can't make the decision.
Moreover, he has experienced hunger before, so after asking himself, now he can get two tortillas distributed a day, and 0.5 points are given, which is already good!
For some workers, especially those who have to support their families, especially those who have several people to support, this is definitely not enough.
However, no one can solve this problem.
Da Zhangshu Base does not do charity. Those who work get points, and those who don't work get no points.
This has always been the case. If the Da Zhangshu Base does charity and distributes food to everyone, it will attract the support of many survivors in a short period of time.
But it was beyond what the Da Zhangshu base could bear, and it took a long time.
It will definitely collapse.
Xie Changshan can also understand this.
Therefore, he has no opinions on the current system and wage distribution.
The other side.
After listening to Liu Sheng's words, He Feng frowned.
As far as he knew, the wages at the construction site were not bad. Compared with other survivors, these people on the construction site should be considered a group of people who were doing well in the trading market.
But,
How could such a tight situation arise? So he asked:
"How many points do you earn per day and how many tortillas do you give out?"
He was worried that some of them had committed corruption and deducted the points that should have been distributed.
Liu Sheng raised his head and replied: "Two tortillas are given out every day, and 0.6 points are given. We both work at high altitudes, so the points are 0.1 points more than other types of work."
Hefeng was a little confused, but it wasn't corruption.
He has also eaten this kind of tortillas. Although the taste is very average, every tortilla is very solid.
This kind of corn tortilla is about the size of an adult's palm. Although one is only about two taels, its moisture content is very low.
This kind of corn tortilla has a little more moisture than dry naan, but it is much lower than steamed buns.
This kind of corn tortilla can be boiled into half a pot of paste after soaking in water. An ordinary adult can be almost full with one corn tortilla. If you have a bigger appetite, two corn tortillas will be enough.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially after eating, drinking some water will still make you feel full.
Hong Fu can earn more than four corn cakes a day, which can definitely afford to support him and his daughter.
He Feng was very confused and his whole face wrinkled up.
Asked: "Why? Even if he wants to raise a daughter, it is enough for him and his daughter to each eat two tortillas a day? Why does he do this?"
Liu Sheng did not answer him immediately.
But I thought about it for a while.
After a long while, he replied:
"Maybe... I'm afraid of hunger, I'm used to being poor, I'm used to living a hard life, and now that I'm living a better life, I don't dare to be kind to myself."
"I'm used to it."
"I can actually understand him. We used to be hungry. After we had some food, we didn't dare to eat it all. We always had to save some.
When we are most miserable, we only dare to eat half a piece of food, even if it is the size of a fingernail. The remaining half will be eaten when we are about to starve to death. That is life-saving."
"We are all afraid of natural disasters. Every time there is a natural disaster, we go hungry. We have seen many people starving to death.
So here, I basically ate the food distributed at the construction site, and rarely used the remaining points to buy anything. I saved all the remaining points.
He was the same, but he lived a day with two tacos, while I lived alone with two tacos. I was alone and had no worries.
He is different. He has worries and burdens, and he is also worried that there will be no food to eat when a natural disaster occurs, so he has to save points. So now that his life is better, he does not want to treat his daughter badly, so he can only treat himself badly. "
.......
Xie Changshan, Hefeng, Mingsheng, Ma Dong and other investigators all fell silent.
Once upon a time, they all came here like this.
Xie Changshan also survived before joining the Da Zhangshu Base.
The same goes for He Feng Mingsheng and others. Before joining Wu Jianguo's special forces in the north, they struggled on the verge of life and death in the outer city and lived a precarious life.
Therefore, Liu Sheng's words resonated strongly with them.
It reminded them of the hard days in the past that they didn't want to remember.
