My Abandoned Oil Town Became a New Frontline - Chapter 47

[Chapter 47 The construction team arrived at your door]

“What’s going on? Someone’s here again?”

Looking at each other,

Xu Xing and Liu Ming subconsciously stood up, just because the sound was obviously not from Wu Xiaowen’s group.

“Boss boss”

At this time, the voice sounded weakly again.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Xu Xing said and immediately opened the door.

He had already thought that if they were really passing tourists who came to camp, he would no longer be able to receive them no matter what excuse he came up with.

However,

when Xu Xing went out and saw the scene outside, he swallowed back his words.

Liu Ming, who followed closely, also looked surprised.

I saw a dozen motorcycles parked on the roadside at this time, and two colorful plastic woven bags containing gifts and quilts were tied to both sides of the back seat. Rainwater was dripping from these plastic woven bags.

Looking at the motorcycle again,

there were about a dozen middle-aged men wearing thick clothes and raincoats standing there. The plastic bags on their feet had a lot of mud and water splashed on them, and their hair was also damaged by the rain and the rush. Stick it tightly to your forehead.

Seeing Xu Xing,

the leading man hurriedly came over and looked at Xu Xing with a pleading look on his face,

“Hello, boss, it’s raining really hard right now and it’s really hard to walk on the road. Can we take shelter at your place?” Rain, we will leave when the rain subsides a little. We will definitely not disturb your guests.”

“Shelter from the rain? Okay, come with me!”

Xu Xing glanced at Liu Ming and came immediately without asking any more questions. Guest room” opened the door.

Because you don’t need to ask these people to know what they do. This kind of scene happens in many places at the end of every year, and the familiar ones are no longer familiar.

Of course,

Xu Xing is not the kind of “Virgin White Lotus”, he just thinks that taking shelter from the rain is not a big deal, it is just a matter of effort.

“Thank you, boss!”

Seeing Xu Xing agree, the group was overjoyed and hurriedly followed him into the house.

“Uncle Liu, there is freshly boiled hot water over there, help them carry a pot.”

Seeing that some men’s lips were so cold that they turned purple, Xu Xing said with a slight sigh.

“Yeah!”

Liu Ming nodded, turned and left the house.

“Boss, thank you very much. It’s great that you can let us come in to take shelter from the rain. I won’t bother you with the hot water!”

Upon hearing this, the leading man waved his hand hurriedly.

“It’s okay, drink some hot water to cool off the cold.”

Xu Xing looked the man up and down again.

Judging by their accent and skin color, they must be locals.

Creak!

The door opened again.

Liu Ming left quickly and came back quickly. A pot of hot water was already placed on the ground.

“How much does a pot of hot water cost? I’ll give you the money!”

He licked his lips and looked at the thermos bottle. After a moment of embarrassment, the man put his hand into his chest pocket and was about to pay the bill.

“No money!”

Seeing this, Xu Xing hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt the man.

“How about that? On your side.”

The man couldn’t take out the money, and he became more and more uncomfortable.

“It’s really not necessary. In this case, you can drink some hot water and rest first. If there is anyone else who needs help, just call me.”

Xu Xing nodded to Liu Ming.

After saying that, he left the room.

Xu Xing knew that as long as he and Liu Ming were here, these people would become more and more unnatural and intolerable.

However, what Xu Xing didn’t expect was that

just a few minutes after he and Liu Ming returned to the kitchen, the man in charge knocked on the door again.

“Is the hot water gone? I’ll bring you another pot right now.”

Xu Xing said as

he opened the door .

He thought there was no hot water there. After all, there were ten people, and a pot of water might not be enough.

“Boss, you still have water. Can I bake my wallet with you? I didn’t notice it on the way back until just now.”

The man said with some embarrassment.

“Then come in quickly.”

Xu Xing glanced at the man’s wet clothes and then glanced back at the stove.

Since we had to prepare lunch for Wu Xiaowen and his party later, the fire in the earthen pot stove was burning brightly.

“Boss, you are a kind person!”

The man was delighted and thanked him again.

“You’re so polite!”

Time passed by.

In order to prevent the man from being too cramped, Xu Xing started peeling potato slices while chatting with the man.

“Are you locals?”

“We are all from this county. My name is Zhang Dapeng. I am a villager in Hongliuwan Village, Asai County. They are all from the same village as me.”

The man said hurriedly.

“Hongliuwan Village?”

Xu Xing thought.

Since he became the party secretary of Binghu Village, he has also looked at the information of Asai County. Hongliuwan Village is fifty kilometers north of the county seat and two hundred kilometers away from Binghu Village.

There are about 500 people in the whole village. Most of the women stay in the village and farm the land, while the strong laborers go to work in the new province to make money.

Even though the population of this village is not as large as that of a group in the south, it is already considered a top-notch village in Asai County.

“Then why did you come back so early this year?”

After a pause,

Xu Xing asked again.

“Well, we are all construction workers. The environment this year is not very good. There is not much work in the new province. If we go to work, we can get four or five days off! The wages are not good, so we come back.”

Zhang Dapeng’s face A hint of bitterness flashed across his face.

Only they themselves know the hardships of working outside the home best!

“Oh! Is this the case this year?”

Xu Xing did not ask further.

“That’s it! We’ll see if things get better next year. If you’re not alive next year, go to the south.”

Zhang Dapeng turned over his wallet while speaking.

“Brother, don’t you plan to go to a nearby city and try again?”

On the side,

Liu Ming, who had not spoken much at first and quietly listened to the chat between Xu Xing and Zhang Dafu, sighed slightly.

“I don’t have this plan! Even though I won’t have a job back home, it will cost less, which is better than earning 200 or 300 outside. As for the surrounding cities, if we can find jobs nearby, why would we go so far?”

Zhang Dapeng nodded.

“This is indeed the problem now! Hey, by the way, I wonder if you are interested in taking part-time jobs here? The wages may not be as good as those in the new province, but they are definitely better than staying at home.”

Xu Xingben I wanted to continue chatting,

but when I saw Zhang Dapeng’s slightly sad eyes, I suddenly had an idea and said immediately.

“Take the job?”

Liu Ming, who didn’t say much, was stunned for a moment,

but he quickly understood what Xu Xing meant.

Half an hour ago, they were still discussing the problem of shortage of manpower. If these ten people can be retained, the speed of building the antique house will be greatly improved,

and it will definitely be completed before the Yousheng Media team building!

“Ah? Do you have any work here?”

Zhang Dapeng was a little stunned and looked around subconsciously.

“It’s like this. As soon as the weather clears, we plan to build a few houses here, but we happen to be short of manpower! We can pay you daily wages, and we can provide you with three meals a day. Of course, if you think it is a small job, we will Find someone else.”

Xu Xing nodded.
