Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 68 It's Not Easy
In the greenhouse, the lights were brightly lit, and there was a busy scene.

Zhu Xiuqing and Zhu Xiaoxiao were weaving baskets hard.

The reason why they work overtime at night and don't rest is because Liu Xing has promised them that starting from get off work today, the production of baskets is no longer calculated according to the number of days, but is calculated by piece.

Each pair of baskets costs two yuan, and the more you do, the more you earn.

Zhu Xiuqing was a proficient hand, and she could have made two pairs of baskets in one day. With the help of her sister, three or four pairs would be no problem, so in order to make money, the brothers and sisters had to do more anyway.

Gao Dazhuang also stayed today. He is tall and burly, and his fingers are thick, which is not suitable for weaving baskets, so he broke the bamboo strips and cut the materials. It took more than an hour from dinner to now, and the corners of the wall were piled up. A tall bamboo stick, if placed in the daytime, it would be a day's work.

On the side of the fourth uncle Liu Huaqing, a person was concentrating on cutting materials, and a villager in black was helping to move the cut materials to the tractor waiting outside. Although it was already night, the villager in black was not at all With an impatient look, he chatted and laughed with other villagers who were waiting for the materials to be cut.

The log saw is very powerful. In the past, it would have taken him a week to find a carpenter to cut a load of Chinese fir, but now it only takes less than an hour.

The third uncle Liu Huasheng who was standing at the entrance of the shed saw the busy scene in the shed, and couldn't help being stunned. Instead of going inside, he turned around in surprise and asked Liu Dageng next to him: "Brother! This... is inside this shed. Liu Xing made all the equipment in just a few days?"

"Well, this kid is just fooling around, but there is also an element of luck in it!" Liu Dageng replied with a naive smile. He enjoyed Liu Huasheng's surprised look very much. Once upon a time, he was just a farmer with no skills in Liu's family, and he could only envy him every day. As his younger brother, now it's his younger brother's turn to envy him, not to mention how happy he is.

"This is not fooling around!" The third uncle Liu Huasheng shook his head sighingly: "I don't understand bamboo products, so I don't want to comment rashly, but I understand log saws. This big guy is not worth tens of thousands of dollars. Fourth child I'm afraid it's Liu Xing's contribution to the fact that the saw can operate freely in front of the platform of the log saw?"

"That's right, it was taught by Liu Xing!" Liu Dagen replied truthfully without hiding anything.

"Hey! I'm so angry! When I was learning the craft with my master in the engineering team, I had to learn this log saw for half a year! Si Yazi has learned it in a few days and can make money. I'm so envious. Already!" Uncle Liu Huasheng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, seeing that Liu Huaqing had turned off the log saw and was adjusting the thickness of the saw blade, so he hurried over.

"Third brother, why are you here?" Liu Huaqing raised his head in surprise when he heard the footsteps.

"Come and see you! Why aren't you welcome?" Liu Huaxing asked with a faint smile.

"Of course you are welcome, but I'm very busy now, so I don't have time to chat with you!" Liu Huaqing pointed to the log saw: "This big guy needs to be oiled, otherwise the saw blade will burn out!"

"Want to help?" Liu Huaxing asked.

"This..." Liu Huaqing remembered that his third brother was a carpenter, and he should be very familiar with this log saw, but this log saw is not his thing. After hesitating for a moment, he could only cast his gaze into the shed Liu Xing.

Liu Xing didn't know what the fourth uncle was thinking. He replied with a light smile: "The third uncle should be very familiar with log saws. If he wants to help, let him help. They are all from his own family. Don't be polite to him."

"I love to hear what Liu Xing said!" Liu Huasheng rolled up his sleeves, picked up the oil barrel, and got busy. Liu Huaqing watched from the side, seeing that there was really something wrong, so he hurriedly helped.

At this moment, Liu Dageng gently touched Liu Xing with his hand: "Son, let me tell you something."

"Ah?" Liu Xing was taken aback.

"Your third uncle's attitude is that he wants to work in our bamboo products workshop! He told me before, but I was afraid that you would not agree, so I didn't answer directly. Now it's like this, what do you think?" Liu Dageng said with a wry smile in a low voice.

"Third uncle has such a good craftsmanship as a carpenter, there is no need to lower his status!" Liu Xing scratched his head when he heard the words: "Now it is enough for fourth uncle to saw logs. As for other things, third uncle doesn't seem to know how to do it!"

"Then let your third uncle and fourth uncle work together to cut the material. This log saw never stops working all day long. It is a machine that doesn't know whether it is tired or tired, but your fourth uncle can't do it!" Liu Dageng said what was in his heart. come out.

Take today’s log sawing as an example, there are almost more than 1000 logs. Calculated at one yuan per piece, that is to say, I earned almost 1000 yuan.

Excluding electricity and labor costs, I can still earn hundreds of dollars. With the help of Sanshu, a professional carpenter, I am afraid that the speed will be much faster.

"That's fine! Just do what my father said." Liu Xing nodded slowly when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more at the moment.

But he knew that the third uncle's work here was only temporary, because the third uncle had a very stubborn personality, and if he had no other choice, he would never ask his father to do something for him.

In 93, in his memory, carpenters were very popular, and there were many construction teams on many large construction sites.

It's just that these recruiting bosses are a little wicked, they only pay a little living allowance every month, and they don't pay enough for a year's wages until the Chinese New Year, and they call it saving money for the workers.

In fact, these bosses have deposited all the wages of migrant workers in the bank for interest, which is at least tens of thousands a year. These smarter migrant workers can see it at a glance, but they won't point it out.

After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

But the hateful thing is that some bosses have too dark hearts.

The money deposited in the bank earned interest, but the principal was not given to migrant workers during the Chinese New Year. Some bosses ran away with the money, and some even hired people to beat migrant workers.

The third uncle probably encountered such a boss in the past two years. He heard from his father that he worked hard for a year last year and didn't get a penny. He even borrowed the travel expenses to go home.

This year was even more unlucky. I was working in the local infrastructure team. After working for half a year, it suddenly closed down, and even the meal money was posted.

If it wasn't for my cousin's illness and urgent need for money, my third uncle probably wouldn't be able to afford to come to the market to ask his father for help.

"Oh! This is life!" Liu Xing looked at the third uncle who was busy at the log saw, and his thoughts immediately returned to the days when he was an apprentice with the third uncle before he was reborn.

At that time, the fourth uncle was as thin as he is now, and every morning he would go out with a carpentry bag without eating breakfast, and he would not come back until dark at night.

If he made money, his wife would smile and cook something delicious to reward him, but if he didn't make money, he would have to go hungry at night.
