Daily feeding of mermaids

The work in the afternoon was as boring as in the morning. At the construction site, she just repeated those actions mechanically. Chu Yue finished carrying the mountain of sandbags, and then began to push the wheelbarrow full of sand, and quickly walked towards the concrete in the west. Heap direction to go.

The wheelbarrow was filled with a load of sand, and its weight should not be underestimated, but in Chu Yue's eyes, the weight of that little sand was almost negligible.

He was pushing the wheelbarrow and humming and humming across the construction site, and the little mermaid's exposed backs of hands were covered with a lot of sand.

Chu Yue pushed cart after cart of sand onto the huge pile of sand, and the workers standing around the pile of sand scooped up the sand with shovels, lifted it onto the screen, and mixed the filtered fine sand with Lime and other materials are mixed to make the concrete needed by another wave of workers, and the whole construction site is a scene of work in full swing.

The sand pushed by the wheelbarrow is quite enough. The huge pile of sand standing on the construction site is quite visually impactful. Chu Yue brought a shovel and joined the workers working there, and followed them to shovel the sand with the shovel Lift up and lift to the sieve.

Chu Yue was wearing a yellow safety helmet, and she was shoveling sand with her head down, concentrating on shoveling, but she was halfway shoveling sand, when she suddenly heard Lao Bao holding a loudspeaker and shouting not far away: "Everyone, come here!" Assemble! Come and assemble! Assemble, assemble, assemble, assemble..."

The continuous shouting of "Assembly" was like a ghost charm, strongly impacting the eardrums of the workers, so all the workers on the construction site collectively put down their work and walked towards the old bag, wanting to take a look at the bag What the hell is the foreman doing again.

Chu Yue and Xiao Gao looked at each other, put down their work at the same time, and walked towards Lao Bao together.

After arriving near Lao Bao, the worker with good deeds was closer to Lao Bao. He leaned forward curiously and asked first, "What's wrong with Mr. Bao? Why did you call the big guys here all of a sudden? I just happened to be mixing cement Woolen cloth."

Among the crowd, some workers echoed: "Is it necessary to process money!"

As soon as the words fell, this sentence simply expressed the truest heartfelt voice of the workers, and a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd.

Lao Bao was affected by the emotions at the scene, and also laughed a few times.

For a moment, he suppressed the smile on his face, raised his hand and made a gesture of pressing down, signaling to the workers to be calm, and Lao Bao said loudly with a loudspeaker: "You guys don't have to guess left and right here. Guess, anyway, it must be a good thing for me to invite you to gather here, as for the processing money that someone said just now... there must be some today!!!”

Processing money? !

The temptation of money has always been fast and effective. The workers present began to whisper to each other after hearing the news. What happened was that everyone's face was filled with excited and happy smiles.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Gao bought time and whispered to Chu Yue who was standing next to him, and said in a volume that only two people could hear, "Wow! Adding food and processing money, this must be Mr. Gu's intention again! He is really generous! He is completely different from those unscrupulous bosses in large companies who implement the 996 working system within the company, he sincerely wants to protect the welfare of our employees, is Mr. Gu a philanthropist?"

Chu Yue followed Xiao Gao's words and thought about it, and Gu Fengting's indifferent face instantly appeared in his mind. Although the human tycoon doesn't look like a philanthropist, he is indeed handsome. He is so handsome that it is difficult to describe in words.

Chu Yue recovered from Mr. Gu's handsome face, and after thinking about it, she was not interested in taking up Xiao Gao's words, so the little mermaid could only vaguely say, "Maybe."

After finishing speaking, he silently added something in his heart, although he didn't know if Gu Fengting was considered a philanthropist, but this man must be a "handsome man", and he needed to add the word "Jin Dian" in the prefix.

On the other side, Lao Bao was still holding a loudspeaker and talking to the workers below, his impassioned tone was amplified several times through the loudspeaker, and instantly spread throughout the Xintiandi shopping mall construction site: "Today is the annual During the winter solstice, Mr. Gu understands everyone’s eagerness to celebrate the festival. In order to let us have a good time during this winter solstice, we decided today that we can leave work early in the afternoon, and give everyone a half-day holiday tomorrow. We will officially come to work on the construction site tomorrow afternoon. , everyone take advantage of this opportunity to have a good holiday and rest, now you only need to finish the work at hand, and you can get off work immediately."

……

"This year, I really want to thank Mr. Gu. I can finally spend the holidays at home with my wife and children."

"I don't know why, I have been working on construction sites during the winter solstice in the past few years, and I can finally have a more peaceful winter solstice this year."

"Get off work early and rush to the market to buy some good food for the festival. If you have time, go back to the dormitory at night and cook a bowl of glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds."

"Huh? So you eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice? Our hometown eats dumplings every year on the winter solstice. My parents chop the stuffing of the dumplings very fragrant. It's a pity that I can't make them myself, so the dumplings don't look good at all."

"If you don't know how to make dumplings, you can go out and buy them yourself! There are a lot of quick-frozen dumplings in the supermarket. If you buy them and cook a few dumplings to eat, it's considered a festival."

………………

Ignoring the whispers of the workers below, Lao Bao continued to raise his voice and said: "In addition, our construction site also gives everyone a holiday subsidy of 200 yuan. Every worker on the construction site has it. After work, you can directly Come to the security room to register and collect, everyone has a share, everyone will get off work early today, go home when you have to go home, go back to the staff dormitory if you have to go back to the staff dormitory, and go out to play if you want to go out to play, I wish you well in advance Happy Winter Solstice everyone!"

After Lao Bao finished speaking, he didn't know if it was Chu Yue's illusion, but he actually saw a kind smile that was not obvious on Lao Bao's perennially quiet face.

Chu Yue: "..."

It was really rare for this kind of kind smile to appear on Lao Bao's face.

Everyone never expected that, apart from the notification of salary payment at the end of each month, there would be a day when they would hear good news from Lao Bao.

This is also very rare for veteran workers at the construction site of Xintiandi Mall.

After the notification of the news, the task has been completed. The workers who were originally on the construction site around Laobao as the center gradually began to disperse. They returned to their original positions on the construction site and began to work quickly. They dealt with the remaining work in their hands carefully, and made preparations for leaving work early.

With a shovel in his hand, Xiao Gao quickly shoveled all the sand scattered on the ground back onto the wheelbarrow. His eyes flicked past the corners of his eyes, and he glanced at Chu Yue who was still shoveling sand across the net from the corner of his eye. Yue laughed: "Chu Yue, you are very lucky. This is the first time I have seen the construction site give out so much holiday money to the workers. You have been working on the construction site for less than a month, and you happened to be Hit."

Chu Yue shoveled another shovelful of sand onto the sieve, and when he heard this, he tilted his head, with doubts in his tone: "How much is the usual holiday money?"

Xiao Gao thought for a while, and found the answer in the long river of memory: "It doesn't seem to be much, only 50 yuan."

50 yuan VS 200 yuan, four times more.

"Chu Yue, you and Gu are always friends, and the welfare of our construction site has been so good recently, it must be thanks to you a lot." Xiao Gao winked at Chu Yue pointedly.

"Stop talking nonsense, what does the boss's benefits to the construction site have to do with me?" Chu Yue didn't raise her head, she concentrated on shoveling the sand, trying to temporarily establish the image of an elite president for Gu Fengting, "Ah... Gu In general, he has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private. He will definitely not give benefits to the construction site because we are friends. Besides, he is not just my friend. There is no need to often give green lights to construction sites. Maybe it is our construction site. The recent performance is good, I think everyone has been working very hard recently, it is estimated that compared with the original construction period, we may be able to complete the construction of Xintiandi Mall ahead of schedule."

"Oh, that's true." Xiao Gao said.

Chu Yue lowered his head, smiled and said nothing. After a while, by accident, he suddenly remembered the conversation between Lao Bao and Xiao Gao just now.

Today is... the annual winter solstice...

What is the winter solstice?

From the conversation between Lao Bao and Xiao Gao, Chu Yue realized that the "winter solstice" has extraordinary significance for human beings.

Wanting to successfully disguise himself as a human, Chu Yue thought about it with his fish head. He was not stupid enough to ask others what the winter solstice was, because humans on land must know the "winter solstice".

If you ask such a question, it may reveal that you are a fake human being.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Chu Yue just tactfully changed another way of asking, with a tentative tone: "Xiao Gao, today is the winter solstice, what are you going to do after get off work?"

Xiao Gao didn't realize that Chu Yue's words were ambiguous. He thought about it for a while, and then said, "I didn't plan to do anything, so I just went home and celebrated the holiday with my family, eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls or something."

"With family members... for the holidays?" Chu Yue's eyes widened twice when her ears keenly caught the word "family".

Xiao Gao didn't realize it, and gave a soft "hmm", and said while shoveling the sand: "The winter solstice is the Chinese New Year, and today is the festival. The most important thing is that the family is neat and can get together for dinner."

It turns out that the winter solstice festival has such an important meaning...

No wonder the construction site will give the workers a holiday today. The purpose is to allow the workers to spend the festival with peace of mind, spend this year's winter solstice with their families, and gather together to eat a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls.

The winter solstice festival is a bit similar to the reunion festival among the mermaids. Every year, the mermaids gather at the bottom of the sea, play and laugh together in the deep sea, singing and dancing heartily.

On that day, the mermaid's song will resound throughout the ocean until dawn.

The mermaid tribe used to hold family reunion festivals at the bottom of the sea, but now, such a lively event is gone forever, and it will never exist in the future.

Chu Yue thought of the current situation of himself and the mermaid clan. He was the only mermaid left in this world, and there was no second mermaid.

Whether it is the reunion festival in the ocean or the winter solstice on land, he no longer has his clan to accompany him, and he has lost his ocean home.

For him, every winter solstice in the future is a normal day.
