Back to 80, start from gold digging

"Yeah, Qu Da, don't get into trouble. Compared to them, we can be considered happy. We get decent wages, and we can go home when we have a break from working. Although the work can be tiring, we still earn a lot. . People like them work the same way, but they can get only a few cents, and they don’t know when they will be able to get out of here. It’s pitiful enough, so don’t bother them anymore.”

"I don't want to cause trouble for them. Isn't this just an old rule?"

"What are the rules? If the foremen say it's OK, then it's OK. Even if you try to enforce the rules, it's useless. Haven't you heard that there are big orders these days and manpower is in short supply? Everyone's tasks have been raised. That's it. To increase shipments, I guess the foremen are also anxious. It doesn’t matter whether they are men or women, as long as they can work. Otherwise, this exception cannot be broken. Just take a look, this is just the beginning. From now on, this will happen. There is no restriction on the designation of women. You must know that some women can do work as well as men. Now that there is a shortage of labor, even if women can no longer do it, two women can't do the job of one man? Anyway, we don’t have much wages, so every one counts.”

"If that's really the case, wouldn't it be a mess?" Qu Da was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but there was no good way. His little arms couldn't twist his thighs. How could a day laborer like him influence the foreman's decision? , and in the end he just said a heavy 'Oh': "But please don't let anything happen to you. Gods and gods from all walks of life will bless you and keep you safe."

"Stop talking and work quickly. There is already a pile of coal."

The discussion gradually disappeared, followed by bursts of knocking sounds, mixed with the sound of mechanical rotation.

The words of several people also indirectly explained some things. For example, the workers here are divided into two parts, that is, the serious workers who get paid and the delivery workers who don't get much money.

"They should be the locals living around, or old workers who are familiar with the environment. We can't find a breakthrough from them." Zhao Wenduo felt that the one named Qu Da was a good target. From her identity as a woman, Zhao Wenduo felt that Qu Da was a good target. Isn't it the most important thing to follow the rules when getting started? You should want her to get out from here most.

"You can try, but you can't put all your hope on them." Fu Tingkun whispered: "If they could really help, I'm afraid this place would no longer exist. It must be that their abilities are limited, or they have already communicated with the foremen. We are all in cahoots, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to do this for so long.”

It's like people from a certain place, because of their interests, know that there are illegal gangs, small black organizations and the like here, but they turn a blind eye and allow them to exist. Anyway, they have benefits. Figure, those who were damaged were all unfamiliar outsiders, so they had little to do with them. Apart from chatting together when we have nothing to do, there is nothing more.

"That's true. We still don't know the situation, so we're somewhat passive. We'll have to wait and see."

In the dim light, Zhao Wenduo's big black eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and he felt invigorated just by looking at them. Fu Tingkun looked at her high-spirited appearance. Even if she was in an unknown predicament, she was still in a positive state. He suddenly felt that the situation was not that bad. At least the two of them were still together and not separated. This was already the best. .

"Well, let's get off this shift first." After all, there are limitations underground, and the top is firmly controlled. No matter how great the ability is, it will only be restrained in every possible way. When the situation comes up, The biggest disadvantage is that it is really not suitable to do it forcefully. Of course, this does not mean that hard work is not possible. With their bodies, there is generally nothing to fear. It can be said that one can beat one, or one can beat the other. The problem is that these people are not all gentlemen on the surface. They are villains secretly who know how to trick people secretly. Otherwise, they would not have capsized in the gutter and been thrown here.

Judging from the current situation, it is not easy for them to break in unless they have to, at least before they get out of the well. As for after they get out, it will be a different situation. If there are no conditions then, they will have to break in. Once conditions are created and based on experience, I believe I can find the right time. I am still confident in this.

It is said that those who are skilled in art are bold, and it is not wrong to say that they are here. Even if they are in a difficult situation, they cannot soften the edges of the two. The consciousness of fighting if they can't do it has always been hidden in their bones. The calmness and gentleness on the surface are not the same. It's just a disguise, but it has become the best cover-up.

When squad leader Zhou appeared again, the two of them had been moving for a while. The coal pit had been pushed forward a few meters, and the coal that had been produced was pushed to the entrance of the hole. The size of it surprised him somewhat.

"I really don't see it. You two young men are quite capable of working." I originally thought these were two guys who looked down on their use. They were dressed in sleek clothes and didn't look like serious workers. , especially if there is a girl with a delicate and slender appearance. It would be good if she could move the head, let alone dig coal, and it would be good if she could not dig her feet. The only one I can count on is that kid. Gao Zi is quite tall, so I don’t know if he’s a good guy or not.

He still thought this way when he left the cave entrance before. He didn't even plan to take them out of the well this time. He was ready to explain to the next shift. However, this time he was surprised. Everything looked different. The two of them are very capable at everything. Whether it is the position of interception or the angle of planing, they are comparable to the most experienced old workers. Even the transportation route is taken by shortcuts, and the drag basket is saved wherever possible.

"What did you two do before? Have you ever been exposed to this industry?" Lao Zhou couldn't help but ask after seeing the tacit understanding between the two of them.

"No, I'm used to farming at home. Isn't it all work? It's almost the same." Zhao Wenduo smiled naively, showing his big white teeth, and his little face was so dark that he looked like the villagers. Some are simple.

Fu Tingkun nodded in agreement: "We have dozens of acres of land in our hometown. When the farming is busy, we get up early and work late at night, so we can't find anything to do. At the end of the day, we are so tired that we can't straighten our backs. It's not much easier than this coal mining job."

When the two dropped him, it was Lao Zhou who caught him. He knew what he looked like. From his appearance alone, he didn't look like someone who knew how to do farm work at all. Instead, he looked like an educated person who sat in an office all year round. They are all clean and tidy. But now the work is so simulating, looking at the movements, it seems that he has experience in doing physical work, which he really can't even pretend to be.
