Shi Zhen specifically chatted with this Boss Wang, hoping that Boss Wang would find him to build a house. Now that Boss Wang is interested, that would be the best thing for him.
Shi Zhen told President Wang some things to pay attention to when building a house, and then said: "President Wang, I used to be a foreman in the city. If you want to build a house, I can come and be a foreman, and I will keep the land for you special. pretty."
"Foreman?" President Wang was a little puzzled, what is this
"It's the person who helps you manage the construction site." Shi Zhen said.
Building self-built houses in rural areas is really simple. Basically, you buy enough materials and ask some people who can build houses nearby, and then just open the construction.
At this stage, there are roughly two modes of building a house.
In these two models, the building materials are bought by the family who wants to build the house. The first is that after the family buys all the materials, they invite people to do the work, and the workers are paid on a daily basis.
In the current market, a mason is generally paid 20 yuan or 25 yuan a day, and a small worker is ten to 15 yuan a day. Of course, many people will not hire a small laborer at all. It is their own men who do the work for the masons.
After that, painters, plumbers, carpenters, etc., were also invited to work one by one, and the money was calculated for a few days.
The second is that after the family hires the workers, they will pay the workers according to the whole project, for example, they will tell the mason how much they will pay for building the house.
After that, plumbers, etc., can also do this directly - you can do all the water and electricity in my house and give you as much as you want.
At this stage, because there are no foreman contractors in rural areas, very few people choose the second model, and everyone generally chooses the first model, which pays workers according to "work".
Of course, there are certain problems with calculating money based on "work". It is good that the host can keep watching. If the host is not there, the master who comes to work in their home will most likely be lazy.
For example, if you invite a carpenter to come back, two people will work for you at your house for a day, and they will take you fifty yuan for your wages, and then they will build a door... This kind of thing abounds.
If the master worker doesn't receive the next job, he doesn't mind dragging on the previous job, and he refuses to finish the job quickly.
For them, get as much as you can get paid, right
So later, more and more people choose the second method.
Shi Zhen still remembered that when he first started working as a foreman, he took the villagers to til the exterior walls of a family.
The family built the house together with their brother, and the houses on both sides were identical, but the family hired him and said five hundred yuan to put all the bricks on the outer wall, while the brother of the family hired workers. Come back and count the money according to "work".
In the end, he took someone and installed all the bricks on the exterior wall of the client's house within two days. What about the client's brother? Just got up.
Later, he learned that the client's brother finally paid more than 600 yuan in wages, and the worker had worked half a month longer than him.
During the work, I have to take care of the meals, and it is much more cost-effective to invite him.
That's how he opened up the situation slowly.
Of course, there is no one under Shi Zhen's hands now. He has never done this kind of work before, so it is hard to be trusted, so it is not suitable to talk to people about the second mode.
In the end, Shi Zhen suggested that President Wang add a "foreman" on the basis of the first method.
"Mr. Wang, you also know that when you build a house, someone needs to be watching, and the foreman is there to help you. I can calculate it for you how long it takes to do a job, and keep the workers from being lazy! If there is something like the quality of the project, I will also help you supervise." Shi Zhen smiled: "You can ask me to try it out, and if you are not satisfied with anything, just fire me again."
The wages are in the hands of President Wang, and President Wang is not afraid of Shi Zhenkeng himself, and immediately asked, "How much do you want for your wages?"
"Thirty a day," Shi Zhen said, "I will also do work like a mason, and I will keep it for you when the time comes."
Now that he has never done anything, he can't make big prices, but he can't offer too low a price to make him look cheap.
President Wang was silent for a moment.
The person in front of him was prepared and came to find him specifically, which Boss Wang knew very well.
Of course he didn't care much either.
What he cares more about is whether Shi Zhen can really help him build a unique villa.
After thinking about it, Mr. Wang said, "Okay, then I will build a house next month, and you will come and be my foreman."
He didn't really care about the thirty-dollar wages that day, so it wouldn't hurt to invite more people.
When Shi Zhen does a good job, he will let him continue to do it. If Shi Zhen doesn't do well... He can't do anything to him without paying Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen heard the words and breathed a sigh of relief.
While Shi Zhen was working hard to move towards his goal, on the other side, he met Guan Baiyu, who was Xiao Chai, and was studying by himself in the classroom.
Shi Zhen had told him before that he wouldn't come over this week, and he even gave him an extra ten yuan to let him go shopping in Changxi City and buy something he liked during the week.
It was only half a day off for Xiaobai, and Shi Zhen obviously didn't want him to run back and forth. If he ran back, maybe Shi Zhen would be unhappy.
Guan Baiyu simply studied in the classroom.
The students in the experimental class are all very fond of learning, and there are not a few students who study by themselves in the classroom like Guan Baiyu.
After studying for a while, looking at his watch, Guan Baiyu went downstairs with his English book, memorizing words in the shadow of the teaching building while waiting for Liang Qinxuan.
Liang Qinxuan lives on campus now, but he ran out in small weeks, saying that he was going out to eat something delicious, and he had to go home to take his dirty clothes home to wash.
At that time, Liang Qinxuan also invited Guan Baiyu to go with him, saying that his house had a fun game console, but Guan Baiyu did not agree.
Liang Qinxuan's family is rich, and his consumption level is not on the same level as his. It's fine in school, but when he goes outside... he can't play with others.
He only asked Liang Qinxuan a few words to let him not conflict with his stepmother.
No matter what kind of person Liang Qinxuan's stepmother is, the other party is pregnant now, and she is still an advanced pregnant woman. If Liang Qinxuan conflicts with the other party and something happens to the other party, then Liang Qinxuan will be out of luck.
Guan Baiyu waited for a while, and saw Liang Qinxuan, who was dragging a suitcase, came in from the school gate. As soon as he saw him, he waved: "Bai Yu!"
"You went home, did you encounter any trouble?" Guan Baiyu asked.
"No," Liang Qinxuan said, "that woman is not good to the child in her stomach. When I go back this time, she is not at home at all. She is hiding from me!"
Guan Baiyu was not surprised by this. If he was Liang Qinxuan's stepmother, he would definitely guard against Liang Qinxuan.
Liang Qinxuan added: "My dad is also very kind to her, and I can't tolerate my grandma saying something to her. My grandma was crying with me and wanted me to go back to live. She said that no one at home cares about her now, and my dad talks to her every day. quarrel… "
Speaking of this, Liang Qinxuan couldn't help but hesitate.
Guan Baiyu said: "You really want to go back, and the family can't quarrel every day? Then how can you study?" Although Liang Qinxuan didn't say much, Guan Baiyu also knew that Mrs. Liang didn't like Chen Shaojin's mother very much.
And when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in trouble, the whole family is definitely not at peace.
When his grandmother and his adoptive mother were fighting, he didn't have a good life.
And... It's not that he said bad things, no matter how much Liang Qinxuan's grandma doesn't like Chen Shaojin's mother now, once Chen Shaojin's mother gives birth to a child... the old lady's attitude may change.
Now Liang Qinxuan's parents are divorced, and it is impossible for Liang Qinxuan to get rid of the child in his stepmother's womb. In this case, it is not good for him to go home and mix with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Better to read well.
"Then my grandma..." Liang Qinxuan struggled.
"Would you like to find some old sisters for her to talk to with him?" Guan Baiyu came up with an idea. The old lady in their village definitely likes talking to her peers.
Liang Qinxuan thought it was feasible.
Guan Baiyu said again: "By the way, go back and pack your things, and then we will study together. I found that you have a big problem to fix!"
"What's the problem?" Liang Qinxuan was puzzled: "You are only a freshman in high school, can you find that I have a big problem?"
Liang Qinxuan felt that even if Guan Baiyu was in the experimental class, he would definitely not be as good as his sophomore.
Guan Baiyu said, "Your words are too ugly."
Liang Qinxuan: "!!!" This friend can't do it!
Guan Baiyu took out a mathematics test paper: "Look at the question you are wrong, it is a wrong calculation! Why is it wrong? It is because you wrote 5 like a 3, and later regarded yourself as a 3, and counted it down. It's gone!"
"And this English test paper, a can't you seal it up? You wrote it like u!"
"Not to mention Chinese... Have you practiced your calligraphy? It's just that you refuse to write it well. You have written the 'eight' on this character as 'in', which means that the teacher kindly let you go."
…
Guan Baiyu pointed out the same.
Liang Qinxuan has some... The problem that many boys have is carelessness.
Moreover, he is active in thinking. Sometimes when he is doing the questions, he may think about other things, so it is easy to miscalculate the questions or something.
Guan Baiyu felt that it was too wrong to be wrong!
Liang Qinxuan listened and didn't get angry anymore, after all, what people said was true.
Every time he takes an exam, he loses points because of his carelessness.
It is also difficult for Guan Baiyu to look so serious.
"I'm just being careless..."
"Carelessness is no excuse. If you write well, you will never have this kind of problem." Guan Baiyu said: "In the future, you must write every word well in your exams."
"Okay..." Liang Qinxuan said, suddenly remembering something: "By the way, have you read all these questions? You basically haven't taught them before, how can you do them?"
"Most of them do, some don't." Guan Baiyu pointed to a question on the math paper and said, "I'm not very good at this question."
Liang Qinxuan: "..." Good guy! He doesn't know much about it either!
This is terrible, the academic master of the experimental class
It really made him, a student who spent money to enter No. 1 Middle School, shiver.
The two were talking when suddenly someone walked towards them.
Guan Baiyu raised his head and saw Chen Shaojin.
Liang Qinxuan often complained to Guan Baiyu about Chen Shaojin. Liang Qinxuan has a simple personality, and Guan Baiyu believed his words, so he didn't like Chen Shaojin.
"Liang Qinxuan, you made another friend? Oh, do you think the students in the experimental class are really friends with you? They are all for your money!" Chen Shaojin said.
Liang Qinxuan was a little angry: "You..."
"Your mother is a junior." Guan Baiyu suddenly said to Chen Shaojin.
Chen Shaojin's face darkened: "What did you say, if it weren't for his father..."
"Your mother is a junior." Guan Baiyu said again.
"Don't think that Liang Qinxuan will be your friend, he just treats you as a dog."
"You are the son of Xiaosan." Guan Baiyu is very serious, to this kind of person... just poke at the sore spot.
Seeing Chen Shaojin's face, he wanted to come up and beat someone, when Liang Qinxuan saw this, he hurriedly stopped in front of Guan Baiyu.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Shaojin calmed down, looked at Liang Qinxuan and said, "Liang Qinxuan, I know you're angry with my mother, you don't like my mother, and I hate your father too. There's nothing good in your family!"
Liang Qinxuan was also on fire.
Chen Shaojin said again: "You can't fight in school. After four o'clock, let's go to the construction site next to the stop, how about a fight in the tallest building?"
"Okay! Hit him! I've wanted to hit you for a long time!" Liang Qinxuan said.
Originally, Guan Baiyu told him to ignore Chen Shaojin, but he also ignored it, but if they had to come together, he wouldn't hide!
"I'll wait for you." Chen Shaojin glanced at Liang Qinxuan, turned and left.
"What's the attitude of this turtle grandson, he thinks he can beat me? See if I don't beat him to the fullest!" Liang Qinxuan said back.
"Are you really going?" Guan Baiyu was shocked.
"He has already made an appointment, how can I not go?" Liang Qinxuan said loudly.
Guan Baiyu: "..." Liang Qinxuan was too easily provoked.
Although Liang Qinxuan seems to be able to fight better than Chen Shaojin, it is not a good thing to get injured in a fight, right
Guan Baiyu can only fool him: "Chen Shaojin is a bit insidious, I think he asks you to fight, he probably doesn't really want to fight with you, but wants to frame you, if you go as promised, maybe you will follow his path. It's gone!"
"How could he frame me?" Liang Qinxuan asked.
"For example, find a group of people to beat you, or pretend to be beaten by you, and then find someone to complain, there are many ways!"
"Then what should I do?" Liang Qinxuan asked.
Guan Baiyu said: "Don't go."
"Then will he think I'm afraid of him?" Liang Qinxuan asked again.
Guan Baiyu can only say: "Otherwise, you can call a few people to go with you? Call a few more people, just say Chen Shaojin asked you to fight, you can ask them to be a witness, and you can even call your father."
When there are outsiders, they will never fight.
If Liang Qinxuan's father was here, it would be even more alright!
"Do you want to go with me?" Liang Qinxuan asked.
"I want to study," Guan Baiyu said, adding another sentence, "I think it's best to call your dad."
He doesn't want to be involved in the fight, what if he gets a demerit
If you are not careful, you will be called a parent!
Guan Baiyu is thin and small, and looks good. Liang Qinxuan is going to fight, so it's really not good to call him.
But calling your own father... that's definitely not okay.
His father is here, can we still fight
Liang Qinxuan thought for a while, he wanted to find his friends, but he felt that those people were unreliable. At this time, when he saw the people of the school basketball team playing basketball, his eyes lit up.
Liang Qinxuan gave each of them five yuan and asked them to accompany him to fight Chen Shaojin... The basketball team all agreed, and of course they also stated: "We will not fight for you!"
"I don't need your help, I can beat him all over the place alone!" Liang Qinxuan was very confident.
After the discussion, Liang Qinxuan played basketball with them for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he led a dozen people to the better place.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw four students in their school's uniform.
The four of them knew each other. They were poor students who did not study at all in their school, and who spent the whole day messing around with their grades in the bottom line.
Compared with these four, Liang Qinxuan is considered a good student.
That guy Chen Shaojin actually framed him! He even found these four people to beat him!
Liang Qinxuan was furious when he saw these four people still holding sticks in their hands. When they saw them, they were also surprised: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and fight! Where is Chen Shaojin?" Liang Qinxuan asked.
"Chen Shaojin? Who?" These people were at a loss.
Just as I was talking... someone came again.
This time, it was six people from the society who were looking at the sloppy life. They also carried weapons such as sticks, and the lead one rushed in and said: "The little scorpion from No. 1 Middle School, dare to rob my girlfriend. …”
Liang Qinxuan: "!!!"
The person who rushed in: "!!!"
These people who rushed in were actually all seventeen or eighteen years old. Two of them looked very thin.
And the people on the basketball team of No. 1 Middle School... These are mostly sports students, one is tall and tall, and half of them are 1.8 meters tall.
And there are fifteen people in the basketball team, plus Liang Qinxuan and the four students who were originally here... Now there are twenty students in the uniform of No. 1 Middle School.
The leading social person was angry: "You actually brought so many people... grass! Let's go!"
They are in the society, and they all know that the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie.
Liang Qinxuan: "..." So... Chen Shaojin
Liang Qinxuan was not stupid either, he quickly realized the problem: "That guy Chen Shaojin framed me!" Chen Shaojin probably knew that someone in their school had invited people outside the school to fight, so he tricked him into coming here!
If he came alone, he might be involved in this group fight!
If I had known, he wouldn't call the basketball team to come, find his dad!
Alas, why didn't he listen to Guan Baiyu's words
Liang Qinxuan threw down the students who were fighting with people, and said to the basketball team, "Thank you for today! I'll treat you, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner tonight!"
The people on the basketball team knew the cause and effect, and they all sympathized with Liang Qinxuan. As for the invitation to dinner, of course they would not refuse.
Who doesn't know that Liang Dashao is very rich, everyone else only buys one dish when they eat, and that is Liang Dashao, since the first year of high school, every time he eats, he has to buy all the meat dishes in the cafeteria!
The group went to the school cafeteria for dinner in a mighty way, during which Liang Qinxuan also called Guan Baiyu.
Knowing the ins and outs, Guan Baiyu was a little confused.
He just said it casually... I didn't expect to say it right
That Chen Shaojin... is really vicious.
"It's a pity that the teachers like him, and my dad also believes that he doesn't believe me. If I go to complain, they must think I lied to them." Liang Qinxuan said.
In fact, even if they believed it...the fight didn't start at all today, so Chen Shaojin would not be punished.
Guan Baiyu said: "You study hard, and when your grades are good, everyone will trust you."
Liang Qinxuan: "..." He didn't want to talk to Guan Baiyu.
Shi Zhen didn't know what happened in No. 1 Middle School. After discussing business with President Wang, he was in a very good mood.
Driving the tractor home, Shi Zhen just stopped the car when he saw someone selling maltose at the gate of Guan Jianguo.
Old shoes, old washbasins, etc., can be exchanged for maltose with this person, of course, you can also buy it directly.
The children in the village were very enthusiastic and came to buy them one after another. Shi Zhen also heard that a child told his mother that he would help with embroidery and asked his mother to buy it for him.
Shi Zhen didn't even bother to read it, but when he entered the room, Shi Xingchao who was embroidering clothes suddenly raised his head: "Ah Zhen..."
"What's wrong?" Shi Zhen asked.
"Have you eaten that maltose?" Shi Xingchao asked while still embroidering.
"Have eaten... Do you want to eat?" Shi Zhen grasped the point. This kind of maltose is made by himself. It is very sticky. It is usually eaten with a stick and rolled up.
"Oh, it's okay..." Shi Xingchao sighed and continued to embroider clothes.
Shi Zhen silently took two cents, bought a roll of maltose, and gave it to Shi Xingchao with a stick.
Shi Xingchao was immediately moved: "Azhen, thank you! I will wash your clothes for you in the next few days!"
Shi Zhen: "…"
