Rebirth as an official

Chapter 381 Bonfire dinner on the construction site

When he got his salary for the first time, his childish little face turned red because he was so excited. He stood there and started counting the money.

"Shui Wazi, look at your unpromising appearance, I can't do without you. If I count them all, the people behind me will still be waiting to receive their money." Project manager Wu Qixiong laughed and cursed.

Shui Wazi showed an honest smile and walked outside while counting the money.

In fact, his salary is not much. It has only been two and a half months since the construction site started. Shui Wazi works as a general worker and his monthly salary is 2 yuan.

Shui Wazi counted the twenty thin red banknotes over and over again.

When people outside saw Shui Wazi receiving the money, they felt a little anxious and began to push forward. Wu Qixiong was so anxious that he went outside and shouted, "Stop pushing, everyone has a share."

However, this statement obviously had no effect, and everyone kept pushing forward, making Wu Qixiong cursed in anger.

"I saw that the bastard was crowded, so I let him celebrate the Chinese New Year with Laifu at the construction site."

The "Laifu" mentioned by Wu Qixiong is a Chinese pastoral dog raised by Uncle Liu who guards the construction site gate.

This sentence had an immediate effect, and the crowd stopped pushing forward and obediently entered the room one by one to collect the money.

Qiu Yating stood nearby and frowned as she listened to Wu Qixiong's foul language, "This manager Wu can't speak more civilly, he's full of swear words."

Li An couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Qiu Yating's complaints, "These people are all rough guys. They won't listen if you speak in a gentle tone. Only foul language will work. This is the construction site culture. You don't understand."

"That's barbaric." Qiu Yating stuck out her tongue.

Li An didn't care about Qiu Yating's words. She didn't understand the unique way of communication between men.

He looked at the migrant worker brothers who came out of the office one by one. They had ecstatic expressions on their faces and loudly exchanged ideas with each other about how to spend the money back home.

Li An felt a heavy sense of accomplishment in his heart. At this moment, everyone's joy could be transmitted to himself.

Shui Wazi was still squatting by the house counting the banknotes over and over again. At this time, Lao Wangtou came over and without any explanation put three hundred dollar bills into Shui Wazi's hand.

"Shui Wazi, take it, don't think it's too little."

Shui Wazi was stunned when he looked at the money in his hand, and quickly stood up to return the money to Lao Wangtou.

"Uncle Wang, I can't ask for your money."

Lao Wangtou first held it up with his hand and said with a straight face, "Aren't you a stranger to me? Listen to me and take it."

At this time, several more men came over, and they all took out a few coins from the wages they had just received and stuffed them into Shui Wazi's hands.

Shui Wazi looked at the money in his hand, his eyes were a little moist, and he couldn't speak clearly, "This~this~"

Lao Wang touched Shui Wazi's head and said with a smile: "Put it away quickly. Go back and treat your mother and sister properly."

At this time, Wu Qixiong just walked out of the house, holding a few red banknotes in his hand, and walked towards Shui Wazi. It seemed that he was also preparing to give Shui Wazi money.

Li An grabbed Wu Qixiong and asked, "What happened to Shui Wazi's family?"

"Hey~ This kid is also pitiful. His mother was diagnosed with cancer last year. The medical treatment cost almost all the family's money. As a result, his sister was also diagnosed with cancer this year. There was no other way. Shui Wazi didn't go to high school and went out to work to earn money. Money." Wu Qixiong's eyes were full of sympathy.

"Where's his dad?" Qiu Yating asked.

"Shui Wazi's father went to the south. He said that there was more money there, and Shui Wazi had to take care of the family, so he found a job nearby." Wu Qixiong explained.

"Where is his family from?" Li An asked.

"It seems to be in Maojiagou." The weapon book said.

Li An recalled that Maojiagou was one of the fifteen administrative villages under the jurisdiction of Guanmiao Township, but only half of it was visited and surveyed last time, and this Maojiagou happened to be in the other half.

Girls are all emotional animals. When Qiu Yating heard Shui Wazi's tragic experience, tears were already shining in her eyes, and there was deep sympathy and sadness in her eyes.

"Lee An, we have to find a way to help this child."

Li An nodded and said, "Well, after the New Year, I will go to Maojiagou to see if I can apply for some subsidies for their family."

After speaking, Li An took out his wallet from his pocket and looked at the salary he had just received. It was 200 yuan and [-] yuan, and he was a little hesitant about how much he should pay.

The deputy section level that I only applied for in August is the lowest level of deputy section level, which is only 675 yuan. With the seniority, mountainous area subsidies, communications, food and other subsidies, it only costs about [-] yuan a month.

At this time, there was no year-end bonus. The salary was thirteen, which meant double the salary during the Chinese New Year month. Li An only had three thousand yuan of "huge money" in his pocket.

Li An couldn't help but think of the more than 20 yuan for relief supplies that he had put in when the floods came in the summer, but he still had no explanation for it.

While Li An was still hesitating, Qiu Yating had already taken a step ahead of him and gave Shui Wazi all the money in her wallet, about four thousand yuan.

Seeing Qiu Yating's generous move, Li An's face twitched. Children from rich families are good.

Although Li An also sympathized with Shui Wazi's experience, in line with the principle of doing what he could, Li An reluctantly took out half of it.

"If Xu Kai were here, I wonder how much he would give me?"

Li An thought of Xu Kai at this time and couldn't help but feel sad for his friend's current situation.

He is probably living like a year at his wife's house in the provincial capital.

Just a week ago, Yang Mengmeng ran to the township government with a big belly and escorted Xu Kai back to the provincial capital.

Looking at his friend's desperate eyes, Li An could only pray for him silently, "Have a good journey, brother."

As night falls, the construction site is brightly lit.The shadow of the tower crane stretched long in the night sky, as if standing guard for these hard-working migrant workers.

A bonfire was lit in the open space on the construction site, and all the tables, chairs and benches were moved out. Everyone gathered here, chatting and laughing in their hometown dialect, and their laughter and cheers floated in the air.

Tonight is the last night before the construction site's holiday. Ang Lee decided to hold a bonfire dinner to show appreciation for everyone's hard work and dedication over the past few months.

Wu Qixiong walked out first. He raised his beer bottle and said loudly: "Brothers, you have worked hard these past few months. Let's celebrate today. If you don't get drunk, let's do it!"

"Okay!" Everyone burst into cheers.

The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the rough man drank the wine in one gulp.

After Wu Qixiong finished drinking, he spoke again: "We were able to successfully complete the construction this year and everyone was able to receive the money on time. The most grateful person is Mayor Li. Let's ask Mayor Li to say a few words to everyone, okay?"

"Okay!" The crowd around cheered and applauded again.

Faced with this situation, with more than 100 pairs of eyes staring at him, Li An felt embarrassed.

Li An stood up, walked to the bonfire, cleared his throat and said: "Dear uncles and brothers, in the past two and a half months, we have been working day and night to keep up with the construction progress. I, Li An, have seen it all. In my eyes, I am here to thank you all on behalf of the Guanmiao Township Government."

After speaking, Li An bowed deeply to everyone present.

At this time, someone in the crowd stood up and said, "Head Li, it's us who want to thank you."

"Yes, it's you who wants the construction site to resume work as soon as possible, otherwise how would we get our wages?"

Many of the workers still started chatting away, and their words of thanks to Li An made Li An lose his temper.

The shutdown of the construction site for rectification was originally caused by themselves, but now these simple migrant workers are thanking themselves. Although they don't know the reason, this wave of thanking themselves is a sign of regret. .
