Dashan Makes a Living 1984: Chapter 68 Uphill
Chapter 68 068: Up the Mountain
Wang Tiancheng followed his elder brother's hand and looked over, as if there were yellow dandelions blooming all over the mountains and plains, dotted with silver-white wormwood in the middle.
The breeze blows the sea of flowers, countless butterflies dance among them, small animals and birds shuttle among them, a taste of hope.
Here, after the driver parked the car, he asked the brothers to spread an oilcloth on the ground to protect against moisture, and quickly unloaded all the bags, and stacked them layer by layer on the tarpaulin to form a hill.
Although there are many bags, they are not very heavy. The elder brothers are good at doing hard work for many years, and they get off the car so fast that Zhang Fei can be called eating bean sprouts, which is a piece of cake.
After they were all unloaded, Wang Tianxiao counted the number, one hundred and ten bags were just right.
He asked Wang Tiancheng to watch from the foot of the mountain, and he led the stevedores to start moving.
Wang Tianxiao was not idle either. One bag weighed about 20 kilograms. He picked up two bags by the way and walked up.
He has been walking in the mountains all the time, and he has a lot of experience in mountain walking, and his body is also very strong. Two bags of seeds are a bit burdensome for him, but not much.
But in a blink of an eye, the four loading and unloading masters each carried four bags, tied them firmly with ropes, and stepped up like backing the door.
Seeing Wang Tianxiao walking quite fast, one of the masters praised: "Little boss, you are so strong."
If it weren't for the simple and honest smile on the elder brother's face, Wang Tianxiao would have thought he was mocking himself.
He smiled ashamedly: "Brother, don't say that, you can walk so fast with twice my weight on your back, you are the real strength."
"Ha, we just eat this bowl of rice, how can we do it if we don't have the strength, you haven't done it for a long time, it's not bad if you can carry two bags.
Don’t look at the weight of two bags of seventy or eighty catties, but if you want to climb a mountain, either I look down on young people, or you climb the mountain empty-handed. Many people may not be able to climb the mountain. "
"That's true."
Wang Tianxiao didn't dare to talk too much, and it would be difficult for him to talk too much. He was afraid that he would not be able to move on.
Yangziling East Peak is not high. It is estimated that it is less than 600 meters from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The site is located halfway down the mountain, and the total is only about 200 meters.
That's the case, Wang Tianxiao actually couldn't move it halfway.
However, there are four big brothers behind, and it seems that they carry twice as much weight as their own without resting, and they just praised themselves. If you let go easily, wouldn't you be looked down upon by them, and also make young people of the same age lose face together.
Gritting his teeth, he wanted to make it to the finish line.
Every step was a torment. After finally reaching the top of the mountain, he threw the things directly on the mountain ridge, sat down on the rock and gasped for breath.
"No, no, I'm too tired."
Muttering like running a marathon.
The four eldest brothers were still in high spirits, and asked Wang Tianxiao where to put the seeds. Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to stand up again, dragging his soft legs to open the door of another warehouse.
"Just put it inside, thank you for your hard work."
"no problem."
Four people finished the sixteen bags, and one of them helped Wang Tianxiao move in the two bags as well.
He didn't rest after coming out, and continued to carry down the mountain.
Wang Tianxiao sat on the mountain ridge, saw the four people sprinting down the mountain path, and immediately felt that the world was full of irregularities.
In terms of manual labor, he is really weak.
There are more than 90 bags left, which means five or six trips. The four big brothers only rest for more than ten minutes in the middle. The rest of the time is like a few perpetual motion machines, and there is no sense of fatigue at all.
It took less than two hours, and all the seeds have been stacked.
Wang Tianxiao was about to settle the money for them, but they asked if they wanted to bring up the coal from the bottom of the mountain. A bag of coal was 89 kilograms, and the wages were the same.
Wang Tianxiao originally wanted to find a donkey to carry it. After all, coal would stain clothes and hurt people's backs, but seeing that they were eager to make this money, he agreed.
After another hour or so, the coal was carried up and put into the small room on the far side.
At this time, it was already very late, and the four eldest brothers were covered with coal and sweat, and their bodies were covered with fine coal black.
Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tiancheng to boil some hot water for everyone to wash their faces and bodies, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go back.
They were not polite, and took off their shirts on the open space in front of the door and began to scrub.
Wang Tianxiao used to think that he was physically strong, but now that he saw a few people, he realized that these people are really strong. Looking at the muscles one by one, they can kill mosquitoes.
No wonder there is such strength and stamina.
Wang Tianxiao watched it for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea.
Isn’t there a shortage of people to work in the mountains? Anyway, these people are temporarily assigned by the supply and marketing center, and they are not fixed jobs. If you can attract them to work here, wouldn’t it be a good thing.
Have this idea, then put it into action immediately.
After inquiring, it turns out that the four people are not the same.
Two people are employees of the supply and marketing center, and two are temporary loaders.
The two temporary workers are brothers named Wu Qiancai and Wu Wenhua.
Wang Tianxiao almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard the two names. He thought that the parents of the two people only looked at the first name and not the surname when they chose their names. Culture and money are good things, but they couldn't stand the prefix of the surname Wu.
Wu Qiancai is the elder brother, about 1.7 meters tall, with a round face, he doesn't like to talk, and he just smiles silly when asked.
My younger brother Wu Wenhua is much more lively. He looks very similar to his elder brother, but he is taller than his elder brother, about 1.75 meters tall.
The two looked at each other when they heard Wang Tianxiao's invitation. The elder brother didn't speak, but the younger brother smiled and asked, "Boss, we are working hard anyway, we can do it anywhere, it depends on how much you pay us."
"How much money do you want? If you stay with me for a long time, you will live in the mountains. Of course, you can also bring your wives and children. We have extra houses here. If it is not convenient to live in, you can build them again."
"What about eating?"
"There is a kitchen here, where meals can be provided, and you can also cook for yourself. That's easy to say."
"Is two yuan a day okay?"
The younger brother heard that board and lodging are all included, thought about it, and asked cautiously. The elder brother also looked at Wang Tianxiao nervously.
Through carrying things just now, they knew that Wang Tianxiao was not a stingy person, but also really rich, so they believed that he would not let his brothers suffer.
Wang Tianxiao thought about it a little, and felt that two yuan was not too much.
He has a lot of work to do in the future. I just watched the two brothers work without saying anything. Two yuan a day is totally worth it.
However, he still kept an eye out and didn't agree immediately.
"Two yuan, it seems a bit much, and now the regular workers in the unit with titles can't get two yuan a day on average."
Wang Tianxiao said with a smile.
Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets, recommended tickets, I am very happy.
