Hard times have room

Chapter 1038 Compulsory Labor Day

However, Kwong Lili didn't have much interaction with her. The two basically never met, but Paulin went to her once. After all, she was an old classmate, but without saying a word, Kwong Lili left in a hurry.

Paulin never went to her after that. It's not a business to catch up, she doesn't like to have a hot face and a cold butt, just let it go!
It was also from Li Hui that Paulin knew that Kwong Lili was married, and the object was still a worker in a steel factory.

All the staff of the finance department are very welcome to the arrival of Wang Baolin. College students, strong ability, quick work and less talkative, and very friendly, this kind of colleague is not very good, one, it will greatly reduce the other. People's workplace stress.

The weekend is approaching soon. Pauline thought that she could finally have a good rest, but now it seems that she was thinking about a bad job before. The weekend is a voluntary labor day, so there is no time to rest. On this day, she lived even Tired than usual at work.

You must know that she is an accountant. When she usually goes to work, she only needs to stay at her work station to write and use her brain, but on voluntary labor days, she not only needs to go out, but also needs to move her whole body.

Baolin's first voluntary labor day at the steel plant was to dig sediment in the river. The unit organized it. Except for the logistics support staff, everyone else went. It is impossible to say that thousands of people swarm into one place, that would lead to chaos.

Each location has several groups, which are managed by group leaders.

Pauline went to a small river that didn't even have a proper name, and she didn't know the name of the river until the work was done.

The river seems to be only three or four meters wide. The section of the river they want to clean is hundreds of meters. The river is about to dry up. There is only a trickle in the middle. The water they drink at noon comes from here. Called from the upper reaches of the river.

Paulin's job is to move the shovel and shovel mud into the basket. When it's full, someone will pick it up.

Her work is fairly simple and easy. The most tiring thing is picking up the mud. It is really heavy, and the burden is bent. Pauline didn't think about it before, half of it is enough, but she just grabbed the shovel. , filled the basket with her own hands, and talked about her while shoveling, and then Pauline shoveled the sand very honestly.

Everyone is working in full swing. There are 300 people working in this river. In addition to the sediment in the river, the weeds and shrubs on both sides have also been cleared. A group of [-] people, Pauline's financial All are in the first group.

When she first started shoveling, Paulin still felt that she could do it, but the more she shoveled, the more sour her hands became. After all, she stayed in college for four years, and she had been dealing with pen and paper for four years, and the physical work basically had nothing to do with her. Now, suddenly let her work like this, it is definitely not useful, and she will need a process to get used to it later.

When it was time to eat at noon, Paulin's hands were shaking while holding the lunch box. The lunch was free, provided by the canteen of the steel mill.

Paulin only took two big steamed buns with some pickles. This was her lunch. She was too tired and didn't have a good appetite. These two big steamed buns were enough for her to eat.

At this time, Cheng Xiao walked to Wang Baolin's side, holding three big steamed buns in her hand: "Paulin, are these two steamed buns enough for you?"

"Let me tell you, this steamed bun is free. It's okay to take an extra or two to eat. Be full, and work hard in the afternoon!"

Like Baolin, Cheng Xiao also works in the financial department. She does some chores. Because she is similar in age to Wang Baolin, the two are relatively close.

At this time, Li Hui also brought four steamed buns to the two of them. She was in her early thirties, looking very old, with thin cheeks, tanned, and wrinkles on her forehead. If it weren't for her gentle voice, She had a gentle expression on her face, which should have made people feel very strange.

"Paulin, I used a lot of energy today, it's better to eat more steamed buns, and I will continue to work in the afternoon!"

"Besides, this steamed bun is provided for free by the cafeteria. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing. The cafeteria only cares about our meal at noon, not at night. If you eat more at noon, you can save some money at night."

There are four children in her family, and the couple works to support four people. The parents of her hometown still need to show some filial piety from time to time. Life is a tight one, and she is used to planning carefully.

What she ate was nothing at all. Just now, she saw a strong man taking seven steamed buns in one go. This is the real good appetite.

Although the labor day is a bit hard, the lunch meal is free, and you can take the steamed buns and eat enough, which is already very good.

"I really can't eat anything, look at my hand." Pauline raised her right hand, not stable at all, shaking from side to side.

"Besides, I just drank a belly of water, and these two steamed buns are a bit hard for me to eat."

That being said, when she was really eating, Pauline still ate very quickly. The two steamed buns quickly fell into her stomach, and the task was completed. Her desire to eat was infinitely reduced, and she really didn't want to eat it. .

At noon, the period from twelve to two o'clock is their rest time. A group of people are sitting or lying under the shade of a tree. Hearing the sound of snoring, I don't know which goddess it was, and fell asleep in such an environment.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the whistle sounded, and the group continued their noon activities under the scorching sun.

Among the three hundred people, most of them wore hats, and only a few ruthless people had nothing on their heads except hair.

At the back, Pauline was stumbling when she shoveled the mud, and the people watching were anxious, feeling that she was going to dump the mud in the shovel on herself in the next second.

At more than five o'clock, they finally completed the set goal, cleaned up the sediment in this section of the river, and they were finally able to go back.

The sand cleaned up by them was piled up in a thorny field more than 200 meters away from the river, and a circle of stones was piled outside. These stones were picked up from the surrounding area. The raised stone looks very solid.

When Paulin walked back, both legs were soft, and the soles of her feet stepped on the ground, which were all empty. At this time, even a seven- or eight-year-old child bumped her lightly and could knock her out. Knocked down, or the kind that fell completely.

Arriving at the bottom of the dormitory building, Pauline first washed the trouser legs with the tap. The trouser legs were covered with muddy water not long after she got down the river. When she returned, she had already washed them once in the creek. The second time, because when I went back, the wet trouser legs were very easy to be stained with marl and dead branches and leaves.
