Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 145

Six workers were already sitting in the cafeteria waiting for dinner.

Wang Weidong also came in and sat down.

Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law first brought a large washbasin of dried rice to the table, and then brought a washbasin of stewed cabbage and potatoes to the table.

The six people rushed to the shelf and took two big bowls and chopsticks. One big bowl was full of rice balls, and the other big bowl was full of cabbage stewed potatoes, and then they started to gobble it up.

Wang Weidong went over and took a bowl, filled half a bowl of dry rice and some vegetables, sat down on the rice and ate slowly.

Several workers looked at Wang Weidong with disdain, can this boy who eats cat food work?

Wang Weidong was the last to eat, but he ate the fastest.Several other people are already eating their third bowl of rice.It takes [-] hours to eat one meal, and [-] hours of heavy physical labor in between.

Wang Weidong took out two yuan and put it on the table, then glanced at Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law and walked out of the cafeteria.

Walking into the corridor, he saw the seven or eight-year-old child approaching.

"There is only vegetable soup left, so you come to eat!" Wang Weidong said.

The child grinned at him and walked into the cafeteria.

I saw Wang Weidong leaving.Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law said to several workers who were eating: "The man who left just now is going to contract this coal mine. He will be in charge of the coal mine next month. You must listen to him from now on!"

"He has the money to contract coal mines with his birdlike appearance?" a worker said in disbelief.

"It's good for such a person to be the boss, our good days are here!" said another worker.

If the boss is vicious, the workers can only act like cows and horses honestly. If the boss is not tough enough, the workers will ride on the boss's neck.

The boss treats the workers kindly, and the workers are grateful for their labor in return to the boss, whether you are good to me or not, such harmonious things are rarely seen.

These workers planned to take revenge on Wang Weidong for Shi Guozheng's harsh treatment of them in the past two years.

Wang Weidong walked out of the coal mine and took a car to the Datonggou coal mine.

"Find a dozen more workers, and I will replace all the remaining workers!" Wang Weidong said.

"Weidong, it's easy to find a dozen workers in the coal mine, but think about it, these workers are no different from the workers in the United Coal Mine now, if that's the case, why change?" Zhou Maocai persuaded.

"What you said makes sense, but I just asked the five people you found in advance to drive away the original workers with a dozen workers! The new workers will definitely work honestly in the future. If they don't work hard, they You will think that I will find other people to drive them away!" Wang Weidong said.

"Leave them, these guys think we can't leave them, why don't we just let them go! You go to the workers and tell them that as long as they work hard, they will pay a minimum of [-] yuan a month!" Wang Weidong continued.

Zhou Maocai stared blankly at Wang Weidong.

"Weidong, I have kindly persuaded you not to subcontract this coal mine, but you insist. This shows that you still have confidence in your heart, and you are not afraid of Shi Guozheng and the others. Now can you give me your confidence and let me also Do things in a down-to-earth manner?" Zhou Maocai said.

"Do you still have an impression of the people I brought that day?" Wang Weidong asked.

Zhou Maocai nodded.

"That person's surname is Ou." Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang who came that day came from Harbin, and the surname Ou is rare.

Zhou Maocai racked his brains for a while and then asked with bright eyes: "You mean him?"

Wang Weidong nodded and said: "We are not bullying, but we also want to do things in a serious manner. It was Shi Guozheng and the others who dug a hole and wanted us to jump down. What we are doing now is reasonable. But what I told you today Don't speak out!"

"I won't! According to what you said, I will find someone right away." Zhou Maocai said.

Now that he knew that he was holding two kings, four twos, and four tops, Zhou Mao could finally do things with confidence.

Qu Wenfu's daughter-in-law and several old women in the village finished making bedding by noon the next day.But Wang Weidong didn't come to pick up the bedding until evening.

It wasn't until November 30 that Wang Weidong came to pick up the bedding.

"Uncle Qu, when I called home two days ago, my sister-in-law told me to call you if I needed something." Wang Weidong said with a smile.

Qu Wenfu hummed and didn't say anything more.

Wang Weidong walked out of Qu Wenfu's house with the quilt in his arms. Although there was no one to see him off, Wang Weidong turned around and shouted loudly: "Uncle Qu, you don't need to send him off. It's cold and you should go back!"

Back at the Tuanjie Coal Mine, there were about [-] people standing in the yard smoking and chatting. These people were all workers Zhou Maocai had recruited from the Datonggou Coal Mine.

There were rolls of luggage on the ground, too far away from the coal mine, these workers all lived here, so they brought all their luggage.

Bypassing these workers, Wang Weidong walked into the office with the quilt in his arms.For the past few days, Shi Dali locked the office and did not let him in at all. Today is the day when the coal mine was handed over, and the door of the office finally opened.

When Wang Weidong walked into the office, he saw Shi Guozheng and Shi Dali sitting on the bed, and Zhou Maocai sitting on the chair in front of the desk.

"Weidong, I have given the workers who are going to go down to the mine on the evening shift a rest, but there are still more than 20 tons of coal in the coal yard that have not been taken away. I will let the truck pull them all four or five times. The time will be a little later. You don't want to Lock the gate of the coal mine." Shi Dali said.

The workers on the night shift went down to mine coal, and the coal would not come out until the next morning, and it was not his own, so Shi Dali didn't let the workers go down the mine.

And the coal that was mined by the day shift was still theirs, so Shi Guozheng and his son wanted to grab a few truckloads of coal at the end.

"Okay, now let's go out and count the materials and tools." Wang Weidong said.

Shi Guozheng and his son, Wang Weidong and Zhou Maocai first put on work clothes and boots and went down to the well to count everything from tools on the working face to transformers and water pumps, and then went to the well to count the materials in the warehouse.

Wang Weidong took all the items in the notebook and counted them one by one.

"We both need to sign for all the equipment that is written down. I will hand over so much to you in the future. Don't say anything else that is missing." Wang Weidong said.

Shi Dali saw his father nodding to him, so he signed the notebook written by Wang Weidong.

"I'll make another copy, one for each of us." Wang Weidong said.

After finishing this, Wang Weidong called Cao Baolu to come in.

"I just counted. There are still [-] packs of gunpowder and [-] detonators. You sign here, and I will receive that much. From today onwards, I will manage the warehouse first." Wang Weidong said.

Cao Baolu also looked at Shi Guozheng first, and then picked up a pen to sign his name on the notebook.

"Press your fingerprints on the numbers!" Wang Weidong continued.

After these things were done, Shi Guozheng said with a smile: "This coal mine is handed over to you. If you do well, it's yours, and if you don't do it well, it's yours too! Dali and I will go back."

Anyway, the 7 yuan has already been obtained, and it is none of their business if Wang Weidong cries for his father and mother in the future.
