Chapter 338

In addition to the extremely unstable nature of the job held by the "little son-in-law shelf worker", there is also an unavoidable practical problem, which is that the "risk factor" is extremely high.

After all, it is working at heights.

The "little son-in-law shelf worker" himself is used to climbing dozens of floors, and he is brave enough to never feel scared.

I have been doing this kind of work for 20 years, how can I still be afraid?

But not being afraid does not mean that danger does not exist.

There has always been danger, even if the person involved has a strong mentality, even if no unlucky incidents have occurred, the danger of "working at heights" has never left.

That year, the tragedy that happened to relatives around him reminded the "little son-in-law, the shelf worker" - it turned out that in this industry he was working for, he was risking his life for a high income.

Didn’t I mention it before?

"Lao Dou", the younger son-in-law of the Zhou family, has three sons. The three brothers did not inherit the mud and water work done by "Old Bean", but all started "frame work".This made their "old bean" very helpless.

The reason is that at the beginning, the income of plasterers was quite meager.When the three brothers were young, they watched their father work from morning to night every day, covered in dust and mud, earning a meager few tens of dollars a month.

In the deep-rooted concept of the three brothers, it is really hard work and no money to do this kind of plastering.

This is not surprising.Doing masonry and building a house means that a few people who know how to do masonry form a construction team, and they take on the "self-built house" project by themselves.To build a floor is to pay for the labor of one floor.

There has always been an endless stream of “self-built houses” in my hometown, which has not stopped for decades.In this case, as long as the plasterer is willing to do it, he will not be without work or make money.

Taking the construction of a 120-square-floor building as an example, five plasterers work together. It takes about 5 days from laying the first brick to laying the steel bars and laying the floor.

In this way, as long as I get the job of building a 2-story building in a month, I can make money in a month.

Is it difficult to get a job to build a 2-story building in a month?As long as you have been in the cement and plumber industry for a long time, sometimes you don’t need to take the initiative to find them. Homeowners who want to “build their own houses” will come to you and negotiate with you about building a house.

在城里建房的人，一般一建就会建它5层到6层楼。建3层的也有，但还是一口气建够5层的居多数。只要领到1栋建5层楼的活儿，就足够“老豆”所在的建筑队伍做2个半月了。

Such private "self-built houses" only need to get 4 or 5 houses a year, and they can work and earn money for a year.

In the countryside, however, when individuals build houses, they only build a small two-story building.To build a new house in the countryside, one has no money, and the other has no certificate. Just build a 2-story small building enough for the family to live in.

In the city, it is just the opposite, most of them have certificates.Now that you have a certificate, they require you to plan in a unified way and build 5 floors in a unified way, so that it does not appear "uneven" and looks good.Therefore, when building houses in the city, it is required to build a building with 5 floors.There are no certificates in the countryside, and there are a lot of land. In addition to building a small two-story building, you can completely surround a large yard and live comfortably.

In short, being a plasterer has always meant that you don’t have to worry about running out of work.The reason is that whether in the city or in the countryside, there are so many people who "build their own houses".The mud and water team that the "ladou" of the "frameworker" joined only had 5 or 6 people.As long as they can receive a few "self-built houses" (in the city) or about 10 "self-built houses" (in the countryside) a year, it is enough for them to have a year's work.

But in the eyes of his three sons, who were still young at the time, "Dad" had no shortage of work for many years, but he only earned a few dozen yuan in wages every month.After more than ten years, I only earned a few hundred yuan a month... This "salary" was barely enough to feed the family.

When the three sons grew up, they chose to work as "shelf workers" with people in the same village. They worked for a few days every month when there was work, and rested by themselves when there was no work to do.Young people think that for such an "easy" job, they can earn nearly half as much as their "fathers" every month.Wouldn't this be much better than being a "mason"? !

There is really no comparison.

Their brothers are still too young.I don't know about work stuff, "stability" is also a very important reference indicator.In other words, if the income is unstable, it will be difficult to save money.Even if you don't talk about "saving money", if the income is unstable, the family will count on your little income to "spend" every month. If there is no income in a month, the family will not need to "excuse the pot"?
It really makes no sense!

Moreover, as the younger generation of farmers and workers are a little bit "fearing the easy and afraid of the heavy", they don't like to do the dirty and tiring work of "plasterer". As a result, later on, the construction team of "self-built houses" It is supported by a group of workers in their 40s to 60s.The artificial "gap" has gradually led to an increase in the wages of "self-built houses".

Not a little increase, but a double increase.

For example, in the "self-built house" 15 years ago, the labor cost was calculated according to the square footage of the floor.For each square, the labor is only 30 yuan.To build a floor of 120 square meters, 3600 yuan of labor.

After deducting the cost and depreciation loss of the "formwork" prepared by the "foreman", each of the 6 workers will be paid 400 to 500 yuan per month.The wages at this level have been "divided up" almost.

Just a few years later, the labor cost for a "self-built house" rose to 60 yuan per square meter.Then, it increased by 10 to 20 yuan every year... Before Liang Teng's "crossover", the labor price for "self-built houses" had already risen to 180 yuan per square meter.In other words, to build a floor of 120 square meters, it will cost 21600 yuan in labor costs alone.

These thousands of "labor money" can build a floor, and it takes more than 2 yuan to build a floor.The salary of the middleman has increased by N times.

Of course, the income of the "shelf worker" father has also increased by N times.There are thousands every month.

The monthly income of "Old Dou" has gradually become equal to that of his son.And the income of "Old Dou" is "stable", and he receives such income every month, and there are very few "missing tickets".The son's income is very unstable.

In particular, the "foreman" I follow now is not strong enough, and the jobs I receive every month "sharply decrease".In this way, if the income is calculated by "year", the "annual income" of the son seems to be slightly lower than that of his "old man".

The "little son-in-law who works as a shelf worker" has been out for more than 20 years, and it really feels like the more you go back, the more you go back.

It just so happened that at this time, the elder brother who was also engaged in the "frame building" high-altitude operation accidentally fell to his death.

It is said that the eldest brother was working on a few floors high at that time.At this time, I received a call from my sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law told him very worriedly on the phone: the youngest son has a high fever.Even the small clinics dared not accept him, and asked to send him to a big hospital for treatment...but the family didn't have a car.She drives an electric car, although she can also go to a big hospital in the city.But my son was suffering from a high fever, and the wind was blowing along the way, fearing that his condition would get worse.

But there is a family of cars in the same village, and she happens to be at home at this time, so she is too embarrassed to speak to others.So what she meant by calling her husband was, of course, that she wanted him to call someone in the same village and ask him to drive her and her youngest son to the big hospital in the city.and so on.

The eldest brother also raised two daughters before he had a son.Extremely precious.I heard that this is the case, there is no nonsense.After comforting his wife, he hung up the phone and immediately called someone from the same village who was at home now, asking him to help drive his wife and children to the urban hospital for treatment.

The eldest brother's reputation in the village is quite good.He has a principle that when people in the same village build new houses and need to "build bamboo frames" for decoration, they come to him for help. The eldest brother basically helps the people in the same village "build bamboo frames" for free.Thus got a good reputation.

Since the eldest brother usually pays so much attention to managing the relationship with the villagers and "connections", when his family has some difficulties and needs the help of the villagers, of course it is "one call and one hundred promises".

Just like that time the eldest brother called someone from the same village who happened to be at home at the time and asked him to drive his wife and children to the hospital, and the other party readily agreed.

The eldest brother was also prepared to call several other friends in the same village if this one didn't agree.After all, someone will help him.

But this one readily agreed.And without delay, he immediately drove to his eldest brother's house and drove his wife and children to the hospital.

After this tossing, the elder brother became a little "absent-minded".In his mind, he was always thinking about his precious little son.

I can't help but worry.According to the information reported by his wife, the fever reached almost 41 degrees.At that time, the youngest son was not yet one year old, and he was at an extremely fragile age.My eldest brother knows a friend who has a child who had a fever and burned out his brain.

The child of my friend's family is still more than seven years old, and he is in elementary school, and his body's resistance is much stronger than the younger son of the elder brother's family who is not yet one year old.But it also burned out my brain.

The elder brother was very worried.Worried that this was a "robbery" for his youngest son.If you can't make it through...?
I shudder to think about it.

There is only such a son in the family, it is impossible not to be a baby.During the whole afternoon when he received the call from his wife, the eldest brother was in a "trance" state, unable to concentrate on everything he did.

If the eldest brother has a strong sense of danger, he will quickly realize that his current "state" is really not suitable for continuing to "work at heights".We must hurry up and ask the "foreman" for leave.Even if there is no way to rush to the urban hospital where the youngest son is sent, but first get down from the height of the 5-story building.

But the eldest brother has been working as a "shelf worker" for more than ten years and is quite conceited about his ability to climb higher.In other words, they were very "careless" and ignored the dangers of being at high altitudes.

Now, a huge crisis lurks here.

In the "trance" state of mind, the eldest brother barely worked on the height for more than an hour.Climbing up and down, high-intensity work, leading to the accumulation of "tiredness".Coupled with lack of energy and concentration, I feel uncomfortable everywhere in doing things.

When the same group of "workers" recalled it afterwards, they felt that "big brother" seemed to be haunted by "ghosts".Usually it is quite simple to walk on the smooth bamboo surface of the "bamboo frame", but that day "big brother" could not walk steadily.One foot slipped.

Even if the foot slipped, a worker who is used to this line of work can quickly move his hands and hold the "vertical bamboo" of the bamboo frame.How easy it is to hold the "vertical bamboo" firmly with a sweep of your elbow.

Even if we take [-] steps back, we can't hold him tightly.But with this action to greatly slow down the decline, it is estimated that the decline will not be so heavy.At most, it's just a "fracture" or something, not life-threatening.

But that day, the "big brother" really seemed to be haunted by a "ghost". The soles of his feet slipped and he was completely out of shape when he was about to fall. He actually didn't take any "emergency" measures and just fell straight down from the 5th floor. fell to the ground from a high place.

At that moment, the performance of "Big Brother" in the eyes of the "workers" present felt like a "novice" who had just entered the industry, not at all like a veteran with almost 20 years of experience in "working at heights".

The ground is so hard, coupled with the gravity of falling from the height of the 5th floor, the eldest brother fell heavily, making a dull impact sound.He fainted on the spot.The "workmates" at the scene quickly stopped their work and came down to check the injuries of "Big Brother", and found that there was only air coming in, but no air coming out!

The fall was extremely heavy.

Of course, it is to call the emergency number of the hospital.It can be regarded as being sent to the "operating room" of a large hospital in a very timely manner for rescue.Moreover, on the way to the hospital, the necessary first aid equipment was also used in the ambulance.

Helplessly, the wounded person was too seriously injured, and the surgeons in the large hospital exhausted all means, and the rescue time took as long as one day and one night.In the end, the seriously injured still failed to be rescued.

In this way, the eldest brother and the two younger brothers are separated by yin and yang.

After experiencing such a life-and-death separation, besides being sad and sad, my father and mother could not think about other issues for a moment.

The second brother is more carefree by nature and doesn't have many additional ideas.

Instead, it was the "little son-in-law of the Zhou family" who thought of the danger of being a "frameworker".He himself has been engaged in the work of "building airs" for nearly 20 years.I always thought that even if this line of work was dangerous, it was only for "novices". The "veteran" aspect is absolutely safe.

However, the big brother's unexpected encounter immediately made the "little son-in-law of the Zhou family" feel that in this line of work, no matter the novice or veteran, it seems that they all "hang their heads to their waists to work".

For the first time in his life, the "little son-in-law of the Zhou family" had the idea of ​​"changing careers".

But he has been working as a scaffolder for nearly 20 years, and his education level is so low that he can't even recognize a few big characters.Under such circumstances, if he chooses to "change his career," what kind of job would he do?
There are plenty of jobs, but the number of jobs suitable for him is limited.

In this "limited number" of jobs, the "little son-in-law of the Zhou family" wanted a job with a good salary-this directly led to him not being able to find a new job.

High-paying careers are available at any time.But this kind of occupation has high requirements, so he won't look up to the role of "the Zhou family's little son-in-law".

The "little son-in-law of the Zhou family" almost broke his head and only came up with a new occupation. It seems that the requirements for "education level" are not high, and the income is barely enough for him to "see".

That is to be a driver of Lalamove.

However, if he wants to be a driver, the first step is to get his "driver's license".However, the difficulty of the "driver's license test" has increased greatly. According to the illiterate education level of "the young son-in-law of the Zhou family", it is impossible for him to pass the first "computer test" of the "driver's license test".
