At that time, in Urumqi in winter, it can be said that it is the most difficult to find a job, my aunt told me, I still don't believe it, after coming to Urumqi, I know that I am a rural child, I have not seen the world, and I have no experience of living in the city, so I imagine the city is very beautiful.
I thought that since my aunt and uncle had asked me to come over, I would probably not have any problem finding a job, but in fact it was not as simple as I thought.
At that time, the people of Urumqi called those who came from the countryside, especially those who came from the mainland, as blind streams.
Blind flow, in short, is the population that moves blindly. For me, a blind streamer, this is still to take refuge in my aunt. If it weren't for my aunt and uncle here, I am afraid that I would not even be able to eat if I blindly flow here, let alone have a place to stay.
Therefore, I am very grateful to my aunt, who took me in and provided me with a place to eat and sleep, even when I had no money.
After burning the boiler for a while, a long winter passed.
Spring is coming, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the construction sites around Urumqi have started one after another. Therefore, the first work after the weather warmed up was to build a fence with stones in the Pingdingshan Oil Storage Station.
The foreman of the small package was originally an employee of a construction company, surnamed Jin, whose name was Jin Wanming, a Hui nationality, and a very good person. In today's parlance, he was a master worker, and the plasterer probably meant that he contracted a section of the work of building a fence for the oil storage in Pingdingshan, but it was done in a short time. Before he finished his work, he once said to me: "After the work here is done, are you willing to go to our unit to do it?" I didn't want my aunt to worry about finding a job for me, so I said yes and replied, "Yes!."”
Here, his unit, the construction company where he works, is building a five-story building in the alleyway not far from the east side of Youyi North Road. However, I don't know if it was due to the lack of materials or the lack of funds from the construction party, and it was the same as the work I did at the Pingdingshan Oil Storage Institute, so the project was stopped after a short time, and I lost my job again.
During this time, the weather gradually got hotter, and in the summer, my aunt used my salary to make a white shirt for me in the sewing shop.
After that, I went to dig the ground through Liu Yuming, a native of Henan Province from the No. 8 team of the Xinjiang First Automobile Transport Company, and I called my uncle's hometown in Henan, at a construction site contracted by the children of educated youths of Pingdingshan residents, which is located on the west side of the family courtyard of the new village of Youyou. A few years later, although I went to the family home of the new village of Petroleum several times, I could no longer find a piece of ground that I had dug with my co-workers.
Hitting the ground here, I remember that I was mainly using a trolley to push the mortar that was mixed from the mixer, that is, the mortar made from the stones, sand and cement, and I was racing with the small cart and the rumbling mixer.
The time has come to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the work is too tiring, take a break of 20 minutes at noon, and work after eating.
Of course, I still bring my own food. The fried cabbage and two steamed buns that my aunt prepared for me before I went to work in the morning were packed in an aluminum lunch box.
My salary is four yuan a day, and I not only push the mortar, but the contractor also asks me to take the Jiefang car to the cement warehouse to load cement.
The cement bag was so heavy, I gritted my teeth and carried it onto the car, the dust of the cement floated all over the house, I strangled my mouth with my clothes, and after loading the cement, my throat coughed out and my nose blew out of the cement.
After that, I sifted through the sand at a construction site in Urumqi, and demolished a house near XiaoximenAnti-theft nets have been installed on the fence of the back gate of the Xinjiang Coal Mining and Chemical Plant, pipe trenches have been dug on the road of the family courtyard of the Xinjiang Coal Mining and Chemical Plant, and ground has been dug in the courtyard of the Labor Service Company of the Xinjiang Coal Mining and Chemical Plant.
