I asked."Where are the cooking utensils?"”"It didn't burn. There are too few people.”Old Sha replied. "Where is it?" I asked. Xiao Qiu answered,"I haven't seen them cook since I came. There's nothing left." Lao Sha pouted at the small room next to him."He's using it."”Only then did I remember that Old Sha and the others were together with Old Chen. Needless to say, Old Chen was definitely in that small room. I asked,"Old Chen is staying in a small room?" "Yes." Old Sha answered. "He's very strange. I can't get along with him.”Little Qiu added. "Let's go and take a look together." I said. "You can go there yourself." Old Sha said. I didn't force them. I went through the open door in the wall and reached the door of the small room. The door was closed. I knocked on the door and asked,"Who is it?”"Old Bull," I replied,"I came to take a look." "Wait a moment." answered the person inside. After a while, the door opened a crack. Elder Chen was putting on a singlet, and his feet were pressed against the back of the door."I thought it was someone else. It was you."”After he put on his vest and moved his feet away, I walked in. He closed the door again. The things in the room were really simple. There were two square oranges in the middle of the room, and one orange had half eaten food. It turned out that when I called the door, he was eating bare-chested. When he heard me call the door, he hurriedly put on his clothes. "What are you doing here?" he said coldly. He was obviously unhappy that he had disturbed his meal. "I came over to take a look. Eat your food." I don't care if he's happy or not, I'll be polite to him. "You see." He said and sat down to eat. The small room was about six to seven square meters. Only the back wall had windows. If the door was closed, it would be difficult to circulate the air inside and it would be very stuffy. Therefore, his bed was placed near the window so that it would feel better. He was cooking in the house. In front of the wall, there was a simple table made of old cement template. On it was a large rice cooker, a thick wooden board for cutting vegetables, a few plastic basins, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar bottles, and some extra bowls and chopsticks piled on the corner of the table against the wall. There were no cooking stoves or anything like that. There was no gas stove here. It was probably because the car repair shop did not allow the use of open flames.(At that time, there was no such advanced thing as induction cooker. Now, the life of working on the construction site was not as hard as it was a decade ago.)
Old Chen's room was clean. Although there was a mat on the bed, the mat was laid out neatly. The change of clothes was neatly placed next to the pillow. It looked much more comfortable than Old Sha's room. From the looks of it, Old Chen was quite used to living independently.
Old Chen mixed rice and vegetables together to cook, and the result was a half-dried and half-watery rice. There were no actual dishes on the orange, just some soy sauce and salted vegetables in a small bowl. Looking at the rice in Old Chen's bowl, I couldn't bear it and asked him," Can't you cook here?”"There's no need to stir-fry. It's good to eat like this. I won't get angry." He paused and said," Previously, when there were more people, we set up a stove to cook at the back of the house. Later, when there were fewer people, we dispersed. The pot was also taken away by the scavengers.”He pointed at the door and said," They all have good places to eat. I'm the only one cooking.”"Why don't you go with them?”I asked. "I'm not that thick-skinned." he said bluntly. "We're all from the same company. Wouldn't it be better to take care of each other if we get closer?”I'm not trying to persuade him, I'm just saying my opinion. "They eat and prostitute. I won't mess around like them.”He thought about the problem very seriously. At this moment, he had finished his meal. He stood up and put the bowls and chopsticks into a plastic basin. He held it in his hands and said," I'll go wash the dishes in the back.”I understood that he was asking me to go out too. She followed him out the door. He closed his little door and went out.
I went back to Old Sha's big room. At this time, Xiao Qiu had already gone to the construction site. Old Sha was already lying on the bed. When he saw that I had returned, he asked softly," How is it? You're not welcome here, are you?”"Fortunately, you didn't embarrass me." I replied softly. "Anyway, I don't get along with him. He doesn't like me, and I hate him. We hate each other." She added," This person is mentally ill. He likes to find other people's servants and attack others. When he returned to the company, he told people that he had many 'wild wives' here.”Just as he said this, Old Chen opened his small door. I think that even though Old Sha said it in a low voice, he heard it. But he pretended not to hear her, opened the door and went in, then closed the door again. Old Sha was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and said," Damn it, why should I be afraid of him?"”Lao Sha patted the bed and said," Don't be afraid of getting dirty. Lie down and rest for a while. Otherwise, you'll be tired in the afternoon."”To be honest, she was a little tired from the noise on the roof last night. At this moment, he did not care if it was dirty or not. He pulled the mat even and lay down. However, she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to. She narrowed her eyes and thought,'This is such a mess. Is this the life I'm going to live in the future? Thirty years ago, he was a laborer at the power station. At that time, he could still endure such a life. But thirty years later, he still had to live like a laborer. What was this?”Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh. Old Sha didn't fall asleep either. He listened to my sigh and asked me," I can't work. You're already a leader, so why are you working as well?”"Everyone has their difficulties." I still couldn't tell him the reason for working, so I could only answer him like this. "You're working here. The salary is not low, right?”Old Sha asked tentatively. "Eight hundred yuan." At the company, I've seen the salary sheet. Old Sha's salary is the same. So I don't have to keep it a secret from him. "Only 800 yuan? No way!" Old Sha didn't believe it. "That's the number for the probation period. After you become a full-time employee, you'll get an additional 400 yuan." I added. "The same as mine, but I'm going to increase it to 1,200 this month. He's even taller than you." My salary is lower than his, so it won't cause him any psychological imbalance. He's going to increase it to 1,200 this month, and I don't feel the slightest bit of imbalance in my heart. He has been in this industry for so many years. In terms of experience, he is really my master. I've just entered this industry, and I need someone like him to lead me. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for me to survive, at least not for a long time. "I'm very willing to deal with people like you. Let's be friends. Don't forget each other wherever we go.”Old Sha suggested. "Alright, let's be friends. However, I'll have to rely on you to help me a little more. I'm not familiar with anything here.”I said. "You're being so polite. With your ability as a leader, you'll be able to dig up the roots of the matter here in a few days.”Old Sha said.
"Speaking of getting to the bottom of it, I have to ask, do you know anything about the engineers working here?”I remembered that I was going to call President Hua in the afternoon. It would be good if I could try my best to know more about the situation ahead. "When I came here, I only saw three engineers here. They don't stay here permanently. They only come when there are problems in the design drawings that need to be solved on the spot. Usually, they would only stay for a few days or a week. They didn't come together either. One came and the other came. It was like a lantern.”Old Sha replied. "Have you heard of any other cases like owing Liao the design fee?”I asked. "I haven't heard of owing other engineers design fees. I've asked President Hua about it, and he said that he doesn't owe anything at all. It was Liao Gong who took out a lot of bills and asked President Hua for reimbursement. The reason was that he went to the construction site to guide the construction technical problems and the food and accommodation expenses. President Hua said that the travel expenses were included in the drawing design fee and not given separately. Only a portion of the expenses had been claimed, and there were still two to three thousand yuan that had not been reported to him. If he was asked to come to the scene to deal with the technical problems, he would not come.”Although Old Sha had never met Liao Gong before, he still knew about the relationship between them.
"Since it's come to this, the building can't be built there. The loss might not be just 2,000 yuan. It's better to report it to him and let him come to the scene to deal with the problem quickly.”I said my opinion. "I think so too, but I can't say that to President Hua. After all, it was between him and the engineer.”Old Sha expressed that he was helpless about this matter.
