The hand of the city covers the sky

After Shi Haodong and Liu Xu returned to their residence in Tianmen Mountain, they called their parents again and told them that they were going home for the Chinese New Year.

Shi Haodong's parents were very happy when they heard about it. They said that when Shi Haodong came home to kill the New Year pigs, they asked Shi Haodong if he had a girlfriend. Say no girlfriend.Seeing that Liu Xu didn't even let her talk, the original plan to let Liu Xu talk to her parents was even more impossible, so she chatted with her parents and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Haodong joked: "Now you have to be careful, my parents heard that I don't have a girlfriend yet, and they are already trying to help me on a blind date. regret but too late."

Liu Xu knew that he was joking, so she also said, "If you run away, just run away, wouldn't I find another one?"

The next day, Shi Haodong called Sen Ge, Zhou Bin, Wang Meng and others respectively, and treated them at the Fugui Restaurant. Sen Ge and the others knew that Shi Haodong was going back to his hometown for the New Year, and they all said that they would be there in the evening.

In the evening, Shi Haodong invites a group of familiar friends to dinner at the Fugui Restaurant. Gui Qi comes uninvited. After the dinner, he takes the initiative to toast Shi Haodong, and apologizes again for his previous offense against Shi Haodong.

The two sides drank a cup and smiled to wipe away their grievances.

Because it is not far from the New Year's Eve now, and it was the last gathering before the year, so everyone at the banquet ate and drank with open minds, enjoying themselves, and Shi Haodong, as the host, would have been toasted, if not For Liu Xu's sake, he must get drunk again.

When paying the bill, the manager told him that he had spent a total of 4000 yuan. Although the amount was not small, Haodong spent the money very happily.

The next morning, under the escort of Liu Xu, Shi Pan, Zhou Bin, Wang Meng, and Lan Tianba Eleven Eagles, Shi Haodong, Shi Fei, and Zhu Feng boarded the bus to Xiaoshan County.

At this time, it was the Spring Festival travel season. During the peak period of passenger transport, it was difficult to buy tickets. Fortunately, Brother Sen had already asked an acquaintance to get three tickets in advance. Otherwise, he would have to wait at least two or three days to buy a ticket.

Shi Haodong sat in the car, watching the scenery on the side of the road receding rapidly, thinking that he had been away for more than a year, nearly two years, a little bit like an arrow, and a little bit timid, what is Xiaoshan County like today? ?Are there more wrinkles on the parents' faces?

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bus had already arrived within the scope of Xiaoshan County, and all the green mountains and green waters in sight made people feel happy, but at the same time, they also had an extra appearance, poverty.

In the mountains and fields, it can be seen that the farmers in plain clothes are working hard. Even at this time when the New Year is approaching and the family is happy, they have no holidays.

At this moment, Shi Haodong's mood became heavy again.

The car drove into the dilapidated small town of Xiaoshan County, stopped at the passenger station, Shi Haodong got out of the car, and looked around at this familiar small town.The county seat of Xiaoshan County has not changed much, it is still so old, and most of the buildings are three or four storeys, and those with more than four storeys are relatively rare.

A building can be seen standing proudly in the distance. It is the Xiaoshan County Government Building. This building has twelve floors. It was built only a year before Shi Haodong went out to work. It is said that it cost tens of millions. iconic buildings.

Walking out of the passenger station and looking around for a while, I didn't see any trace of Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian, so I became suspicious. It stands to reason that the two of them agreed to come to pick me up, so they shouldn't miss the appointment, why are there no one?

Turning back to Zhu Feng, "Why don't you see Xiaoshang and Xiaotian?"

Zhu Feng also felt strange, thought for a while and said: "Maybe the two of them are busy today and don't have time to pick us up. I'll make another call and ask."

Shi Haodong gave a "hmm" and handed Zhu Feng his own mobile phone.

Zhu Feng took the phone and dialed a number, tried several times in a row but couldn't get through, then he said to himself: "It's really strange, it's impossible that there is no one on the construction site."

Hearing Zhu Feng's words, Shi Haodong suddenly had a bad idea in his heart. Before he came, he asked Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian to help recruit workers on the phone. Could it be that the contractor knew about this matter, and the contractor asked them two for help? Trouble, detain them?

This kind of thing is not impossible. Although there are many coolies in Xiaoshan County, there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit workers. However, if a project is in progress and the workers run away, the project will definitely be affected, and it will take time to recruit workers. , manpower and material resources, it is normal for the contractor to be dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, Shi Haodong hurriedly asked Zhu Feng: "Cousin, do you know where their construction site is, let's go directly and have a look."

At this time, Zhu Feng also realized that something might have happened to Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian. Although he was a little afraid of causing trouble, but in the end, brothers were united, and he said bravely, "Okay, let's go over and have a look."

Shi Haodong was about to flag down a taxi, and rushed to the construction site where Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian were with Zhu Feng and Shi Fei, when suddenly a taxi stopped in front of him, and Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian got off one after another.

Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian haven't changed much, Zhu Shang is still so thin, his face is full of pockmarks, his appearance is not good-looking, that's still flattering him, it can be described as abstract, but because of the smile on his face from time to time, it makes people I feel very kind.Zhu Xiaotian is only 1.6 meters [-], and his appearance is still handsome, because Haodong also had long hair during the worship, excluding the shortcomings of height, he is still a handsome guy.

When the two got out of the car, they greeted Shi Haodong enthusiastically when they saw Shi Haodong, and greeted Shi Haodong one after another.Zhu Shang smiled and said: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for two years, you look so handsome!" Zhu Xiaotian patted Shi Haodong's shoulder in a casual manner, and said: "Cousin, your outfit is really cool, Can you lend me some clothes for a few days?"

Shi Haodong also hadn't seen the two of them for nearly two years. Hearing what the two of them said, he felt very cordial. He smiled and said a few words modestly, and then said to Zhu Xiaotian, "Of course, it's fine to send you off."

Zhu Xiaotian laughed and said, "I just know that you are interesting, cousin."

Zhu Feng said: "By the way, why are you two here now?"

When Zhu Xiaotian heard Zhu Feng's question, he spit on the ground angrily, and shouted: "Don't mention it, it's not the contractor. He said it well, and Nian will pay us all the wages." , Today, I suddenly changed my mind and said that the salary must be reduced by half, and a contract must be signed to ensure that the project will not leave before the completion of the project, so that I can receive the annual salary, and the other half of the salary will be settled together after the project is completed."

As soon as Zhu Xiaotian finished speaking, Shi Fei couldn't help but said angrily: "What the hell, who is so arrogant, Xiaotian, take me to see and I won't chop him up!" Shi Fei was originally fiery , plus how many people have been killed in the past six months, the murderousness has risen in a straight line, not to mention that he doesn't even pay attention to the people of the Qingshan Gang, and naturally a small contractor will not take it seriously.

Zhu Xiaotian said: "Brother Fei, there are about a dozen of the contractor's subordinates working with him, it's not easy to mess with, we are afraid that we won't be able to do it."

Shi Fei laughed loudly and said, "A dozen or so people hang out with him? He's really awesome. Ask your brother how my brother and I are doing in Huaxing City?"

Zhu Xiaotian looked at Zhu Feng suspiciously, Zhu Feng said in a low voice: "It's always bad to fight, why don't we discuss it with him?"

Shi Fei shouted: "Discuss? How to discuss? Brother Feng, I'm not talking about you, you are always so afraid of getting into trouble, how did you succeed? Xiaotian, you take me to meet the contractor right now, I really want to see him How awesome!" He said while pulling up his sleeves, looking like a fool.

Zhu Xiaotian said: "Really going?" But he still couldn't make up his mind, seeing that Shi Haodong, who had always admired him the most, was thinking, he immediately asked Shi Haodong, "Cousin, what do you say?"

Shi Haodong thought about it when Zhu Xiaotian said that the contractor wanted to suppress the wages of the workers. Although it is common for the contractor to default on wages, the contractor never delays or delays, but at this time he delays. Moreover, workers are required to sign an agreement, which is obviously aimed at themselves.

This trick is really powerful. Once the contractor suppresses wages, the workers who originally wanted to run away with Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian might be shaken.Shi Haodong came empty-handed, he didn't have any prestigious titles, let alone any influence, he just talked with one mouth, and he basically had no resistance under the contractor's attack of half-paying half-paying.

After all, workers have to eat and support their families. Originally, with Zhu Shang and Zhu Xiaotian's contacts, it was no problem to recruit workers, but when faced with the situation that they could not get wages and Shi Haodong was not very clear about it, I will definitely choose to continue to stay in Xiaoshan.

Shi Haodong's current situation is quite special. The construction period of the Lantian Mountain project is relatively tight. He originally planned to ask Zhu Feng to take the workers to Huaxing City to find Shi Pan immediately after recruiting enough workers, and then Shi Pan contacted Cheng Qiang. Continue to rush to work, of course, workers' wages will definitely double during the Spring Festival.

Now that the contractor has used this trick, he is forced to recruit workers again, and it takes time to recruit workers again. In addition, it is approaching the Spring Festival, and many people are reluctant to go out at this time. The difficulty of recruiting workers Invisibly increased.

Hearing Zhu Xiaotian ask himself at this moment, he immediately stopped thinking and said, "Alright, let's meet that contractor, at least let him spit out the wages he owes you."

Zhu Xiaotian has always known that Haodong fights fiercely at that time, and if Haodong accompanied him sometimes, he would be more confident, and he was not happy about the contractor's seizure of wages, so he immediately said: "Okay, let's go meet the contractor right now." foreman!"

Zhu Feng hesitated: "I really want to go!"

Shi Fei was straightforward, seeing that Zhu Feng was still hesitating at this moment, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Feng, if you are afraid, you can just wait for us outside."

Zhu Feng was underestimated by Shi Fei, but unexpectedly he developed a burst of courage, puffed out his chest, and shouted: "Who says I'm afraid, just go, what's the big deal?"

When Shi Haodong saw that Zhu Feng was aroused by Shi Fei so masculine, he couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! It's getting dark soon, if you don't go, you won't meet anyone." Immediately stopped a taxi and got into the car first.

Shi Fei and the others got into the car immediately, and the five of them squeezed into a taxi and headed to the construction site where Zhu Xiaotian and the others were working.
