I Have a Treasure Trove

   Chapter 7 Unemployment

  Qingwu County was still a place like a village more than 20 years ago, but it has been developing continuously in a short period of time. Especially in the past ten years, there are construction sites everywhere.

  Buildings rose from the ground one after another, and they began to be sold every time before they were fully completed.

  The house bought by Qin Yun's family has not yet been obtained, and it will take at least a year before the key can be obtained.

   While selling, the money after the sale is used for construction. This has become a trend of selling houses.

  Qin Yun's father, Qin Guodong, was at a construction site.

  At this time, not only Qin Guodong, but Zhao Mei is also here. She is pushing a small cart, which is full of gravel, etc. It is obvious that she is struggling to push it.

Qin Guodong has skills, but Zhao Mei does not, and Zhao Mei will not be allowed to become a regular worker on the construction site, so her job here is to do odd jobs, responsible for moving things, etc. This is a hard job, and the salary is compared to Qin Guodong is also much worse.

  However, Zhao Mei did not complain at all, and worked hard.

  The May sky has a hint of summer heat. At this time, the sweat on Zhao Mei's face is constantly slipping. When the temperature rises, it will be even harder to do things.

   "Huh!"

  Finally, when the work was done, Zhao Mei wiped off her sweat with a dusty towel. She came to Qin Guodong and asked, "How long can we continue to do things here?"

   It is not every day to do odd jobs on the construction site like this. Maybe Qin Guodong and others do it for a month, and there are less than ten days on the construction site to do odd jobs.

   "There is a period of time, at least until June." Qin Guodong let out a deep breath.

   "Great." Hearing what he said, Zhao Mei suddenly became delighted.

   "Old Qin, why don't you leave after get off work?"

   A few people came not far away, and said with a smile, each of them was wearing a vest, with a lot of dust on their bodies, and their faces were swarthy.

   They got off work early today, and they can also take a break.

   "Leave immediately."

  Qin Guodong also said with a smile.

   These are his co-workers, who have been working with each other for more than ten years.

  Whoever finds the construction site will find a few other people, obviously a small group.

   "Zhao Mei!"

   At this moment, suddenly a fat man in a white shirt came.

  "Lin Gong." Seeing the fat man, Zhao Mei quickly responded and trotted over.

  This fat man is the contractor on this construction site, and he is in charge of this building.

  But the obese man likes to wander around when he has nothing to do. Sometimes he suddenly appears in one place, as if he is worried about the work of these workers, staring secretly, sometimes it can scare people.

  Plus he usually likes to deliberately find faults, and many workers are dissatisfied with him.

   But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. There are many things on this construction site, which can be done for more than half a year. This dissatisfaction is also tolerated by them.

  Looking at Zhao Mei who was slightly bent in front of him, the contractor said directly: "You don't come tomorrow, we will have other odd jobs."

"what?"

  Hearing what the contractor said, Zhao Mei was taken aback.

  But the contractor didn't say much, and left directly after speaking.

   "What happened? Lao Qin's wife did a good job, but the contractor actually fired her?"

   "I seem to have seen other people find the contractor today, and there are also middle-aged women who seem to be acquaintances of the contractor."

   "This foreman must have left things to his acquaintances."

   Seeing this, the other workers were all talking.

   Although the chores on the construction site are a bit tiring, they are obviously more profitable than working in a shop.

   After being stunned for a while, Zhao Mei finally came back to her senses, and she suddenly became anxious.

   "Old Qin, I was fired? What should I do?"

  Zhao Mei said anxiously: "After Xiaoyun, the cost of going to college and the mortgage, what should I do?"

   She even shed anxious tears all at once.

  Zhao Mei was uneducated. When she was a child, her family was poor, and she hadn’t read a book for a year. At most, she could only know a few words.

  With no culture, she can do very little. Except for the construction site, she will go to other places to do odd jobs.

  However, although they worked **** the construction site, they earned the most money. If the jobs here were lost, then the money earned by the two of them, excluding the mortgage, might not be enough for the two children to study.

  There are too many places that cost money, even the place they are renting now has to pay rent every month.

   As for borrowing money, they already owe money to several relatives.

   "Don't worry, I'm still here." Looking at his anxious wife, Qin Guodong said quickly, "I can apply for more money from the foreman."

  Most of the money on their construction sites is paid at the end of the year, and only part of the "living expenses" is paid every month.

  He comforted Zhao Mei, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes at this time.

  The pressure of life is sometimes enough to overwhelm a person. At this time, Qin Guodong felt as if a mountain was crushed in his heart.

  With a heavy heart, Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei returned home.

   "Mom and Dad." Hearing the movement outside the door, Qin Yun quickly walked out of the room: "You are off work."

  The business of the store was finished at four o'clock, and then Qin Yun returned home. Just two minutes after arriving home, his parents came back.

   But before saying anything, a middle-aged woman in gray overalls appeared outside the door.

   "Little Mom."

  Seeing this woman appear, Qin Yun was taken aback for a moment, then shouted.

  Qin Yun's father, Qin Guodong, has three brothers, Qin Guodong is the second eldest, and the middle-aged woman in front of him is Feng Lan, the wife of Qin Guodong's younger brother Qin Guobin.

   There are no **** plots. The three brothers of the Qin family have a good relationship. Uncle Qin Yun and uncle Qin Yun borrowed some money to buy the house.

  But the three are not considered rich. Qin Yun’s uncle Qin Guobin and his mother Feng Lan both work in the factory, and their monthly salary is about 4,000 yuan.

  The Qin family has almost always been like this. In the past few generations, there has not been a rich person, and their lives are tight.

   "Little luck." Looking at Qin Yun, Feng Lan nodded with a smile and said, "The college entrance examination is about to take place. Your grades are good. This time you will be admitted to a good university."

   "I know." Hearing this, Qin Yun nodded quickly.

  In his impression, his little mother is very good at talking, which is commonly known as "nagging". When they were in the countryside, Feng Lan and Zhao Mei could talk all day without getting tired.

   After a few compliments, Feng Lan looked at Zhao Mei and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll ask about the factory for you tomorrow, and see if anyone is needed?"

  Before, Zhao Mei was extremely anxious, so she called Feng Lan to see if she could help her to work in the factory.

   Zhao Mei also did it in the factory before, but not for long.
