    The ferry sailed to Linjiang Port. Being bored in the cabin, Jiang Yichen and his group came to the deck for a walk to enjoy the breeze. After wandering for a while, Jiang Yichen asked Lu Houer about his previous work at the construction site.  Lu Houer said that after graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, he began to work in the city.  I heard from a fellow villager that there was a lot of money to be made on the construction site, so I was tempted to go there.  I came to the construction site and met the foreman, and then started doing small jobs, miscellaneous, and everything.  Although it is dirty and tiring, the income is really good, much better than farming in the countryside.  Later, the foreman said that his small body and flexible movements made him suitable for steel work.  This is a high-paying technical job on the construction site. Once you are proficient, you can earn about two hundred yuan a day. If you work for a long time and take the technical level assessment in the future, you can earn even more.  Since there were such great benefits, Lu Houer agreed without much thought.  The main job of steel workers is to make and install steel bars on the construction site.  According to the drawing, cut the steel bars to the required length, or bend them into the required shape, and then transport them to the structural construction site. Use thin iron wires to tie and support the steel cage according to the drawing. The joints that need to be welded must be welded by welders.  In fact, this type of work is not very demanding from a purely technical perspective.  However, due to the complex construction environment, construction workers cannot choose those who are tall and burly and have slow reaction times.  Lu Houer is very smart. He studied hard with his master and soon got started. His income quickly increased a lot.  But it was only at this time that he truly experienced why steel workers were said by fellow workers to be a combination of hardship and danger.  Construction work is often carried out in the open air and at high places, especially in summer. Working on it is really a torture.  But that's nothing.  On construction sites, there are almost no easy and comfortable jobs.  The biggest problem is its danger. It is said that foreign media once rated construction steel work as one of the top ten dangerous occupations in the world.  Although Lu Houer was very careful, he still encountered two accidents.  The first time it was an object falling from a high altitude, it flew past his body and made a large gash on his shoulder.  What was more serious was the second time. One day in October last year, he was tying steel bars at a high altitude when the pedal under his feet suddenly broke.  His body was suspended in the air for an instant. Fortunately, he was wearing a safety belt, which prevented him from falling. However, a hole was poked in the outside of his right thigh by a horizontal steel bar, and he was bleeding profusely.  It frightened him into confusion.  He was quickly rescued by co-workers and sent to the hospital for surgery. Fortunately, no vital parts were hit.  After staying in the ward for a period of time, he was discharged and returned to his hometown to recuperate. Now he is fine, but there is still a conspicuous scar on his thigh.  "Ah, it's really scary." Qingqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed softly after hearing this.  "You're too careless yourself. You're so clumsy that you ruined your reputation as a 'monkey'." Xizi curled her lips and said.  "You often walk by the river and your shoes don't get wet. On construction sites. Accidents happen every year. I heard that the construction company has a casualty quota set by the Municipal Construction Committee every year. If you exceed it, you will be punished." Lai Shun'er  I once worked on a construction site and talked about what I heard at that time.  "Hey, speaking of it, my injury is really nothing. We have a master there. That's a tragedy." Lu Hou'er shook his head and continued to tell his past events.  It was on the same construction site earlier.  A steel worker in his thirties was working because his seat belt was not fastened.  The sudden detachment caused the body to fall from a high altitude, and a vertical tendon from below was immediately pierced through the abdomen. It was stabbed to the core, and even the intestines came out.  At that time, Lu Houer and many other workers witnessed this tragic scene with their own eyes.  The person was taken to the hospital by ambulance, but due to excessive blood loss, he could not be rescued.  A few days later, his wife and daughter came over after hearing the news. The memory of him crying and wiping away his tears is still heart-stopping.  When Qingqing heard this, her face turned pale and she felt like vomiting.  So I quickly walked away and went to the other side to breathe the sea breeze.  This is obviously a heavy topic. The rest of the people felt the same and sighed. Jiang Yichen patted Lu Houer on the shoulder to express comfort. It is true that any profession is not easy.  While Lu Houer was recuperating in his hometown, he thought about it and realized that although the construction site made a lot of money, he felt guilty and didn't want to work anymore.  After the Chinese New Year, I plan to go to Linjiang to find a job as a security guard or a restaurant waiter. Although the income is lower, it will be practical after all.  Later, Shi Suoer from the same village came to the door and asked him to join the group. The two hit it off and came together this time.  Jiang Yichen nodded and encouraged him to work hard after arriving on the island and he would have a bright future.  After a while, everyone changed the subject and started talking about something else.    Xizi walked to the guardrail and took out his mobile phone to make a call. It sounded like he was talking to Lao Dou.  When he turned back, Shi Suo'er quickly asked: "You haven't left yet?" "What does it have to do with you?" Xizi glanced at him sideways.  "Why is it none of my business? Are you feeling guilty?" Shi Suo'er retorted.  "It's a joke, how can someone of your caliber make me feel guilty? Go and look at yourself in the mirror." "Okay, okay, what's the point of making such a fuss? Let me tell you, there's no chance for both of you, and I'm just like Lingjiang after all.  Stop dreaming about urban residence," Lai Shun'er said sarcastically.  "Is the Linjiang household registration very good? I have asked about it a long time ago. According to the current policy, you can apply for settlement when you buy a house. I plan to save money for another year, and next year I will be able to mortgage a large two-bedroom apartment. By then I will  I'm from the city," Xizi said confidently.  The income of the three islanders is not low, and they usually have no expenses. Moreover, under the strict control of the island owner, they do not dare to go into the city to do anything.  Therefore, over time, basically everyone has saved a considerable amount of savings, and buying a house with a mortgage is not an unattainable goal.  So, the topic immediately turned to the discussion of the Lingjiang property market. Even Lu Houer was very interested in it and joined in, and the atmosphere became very lively for a while.  Jiang Yichen saw this and smiled slightly.  Young people make buying a house a goal. This is obviously the right path and deserves encouragement.  But it was not convenient for him to say anything at this time, so he turned away from the crowd and went to chat with Qingqing.  In the afternoon, the ship arrived at Linjiang Port.  The two cars got off the boat one after another and drove directly to Longwan Village.  In the parking lot outside Jinchang Club Pier, everyone went their separate ways.  Jiang Yichen and Qingqing returned to the city, and the other personnel returned to Yunsha Island.  Jiang Yichen told Lai Shun'er to take more care of Lu Hou'er and let him adapt to the working and living environment on the island first, and not to bear too heavy a burden immediately to avoid situations such as acclimatization.  Lai Shun'er nodded, indicating that he knew what was right.  (To be continued)
