Rebirth 05, starting from never dusting

In mid-August, Zhang Yi drove to Hong Sihai's construction site.

He came to take Zhang Tao home.

Before he knew it, Zhang Tao had been interning on the construction site for more than a month.

"Brother, just sit there and wait for a moment. I'll call Xiao Tao over right away!"

Hong Sihai picked up the intercom and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao!"

"Fourth brother, I got it. What's the matter?" Zhang Tao's voice came from the intercom. Compared with a month ago, his voice was obviously much louder.

"Hand over the work on hand. Xiaoyi is here to pick you up."

"Ah? So soon!" Zhang Tao was a little surprised: "I feel like I've only been here for a few days!"

"Okay, stop sighing and hurry up to complete the handover. We're waiting for you in the office."

After Hong Sihai finished speaking, other people's voices began to be heard from the intercom, most of them saying goodbye to Zhang Tao.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "It seems that he is very popular at the construction site."

"Of course, Xiao Tao is a very honest man who is willing to work hard. He helps with leveling and laying out lines during the day, and supervises the plastering at night. In his free time, he also helps Lao Wu prepare construction materials!"

Zhang Yi chuckled, this guy is definitely a workhorse on the construction site!

Hong Sihai grinned and said, "He's a very pragmatic kid. Anyway, I like him. If he wasn't still in school, I would have wanted to keep him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Wuhu pushed the door open and said to Zhang Yi, "Doesn't Jianda start school in September? There's still half a month left. Why are you in such a hurry to take him back?"

"What's the matter? You're used to being a free typist, right?" Zhang Yi said.

Hong Wuhu said, "How can that be possible? Look at what you said. I gave him a subsidy for the materials he helped to prepare. I gave him 200 per building!"

"Fuck, Fifth Brother, you have such a dark heart!"

When Zhang Yi heard the price, he was stunned.

Damn, back then he and Shen Ye asked Wang Jiaxin to help with the information, and they paid him four thousand yuan for the main information of 10 buildings!

When we got to Hongwu Lake, we got a 50% discount! !

"One thousand yuan is a lot for the basic information of five buildings." Hong Wuhu said with great grievance: "The competition for contracting information is very fierce now. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Jiaxin."

"It's just the information for the basic stage...that's indeed a lot!" Zhang Yi knew that he had misunderstood Hong Wuhu and hurriedly apologized to him.

As he was speaking, Zhang Tao rushed downstairs and ran into the office.

When they met, Zhang Yi almost didn't recognize him. He squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time before saying, "Xiao Tao?"

Zhang Tao in front of him smiled and after taking off his safety helmet, he looked just like Coal Egg, with his face and forearms tanned black, and his sunburned skin could be vaguely seen from his collar.

"Brother Yi." Zhang Tao scratched his head shyly.

"Hurry up and sit down and drink some water!" Hong Wuhu said.

Zhang Tao said, "How can I let Fifth Brother do it? I can do it myself."

Yes, those who have trained at the construction site are not only able to speak, but also have more life in their eyes.

"It seems that this trip to the construction site was not in vain!" Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

After Zhang Tao poured him some tea, he sat down on the sofa, scratched his head and said, "Well, I gained a lot of experience and learned a lot on the construction site. It feels much more fun than school."

During the year he was in school, he almost maintained a boring life rhythm of sleeping in class, eating in the cafeteria, playing games in the dormitory, and sleeping.

If he hadn't come to the construction site for internship this month, he would have basically spent the next three years in this way.

If you are lucky, you might be able to have a relationship that ends at your own pace in your senior year.

But after arriving at the construction site, he suddenly experienced a completely different lifestyle.

Especially in the past few days, the company recruited a lot of technical secondary school students. When they heard that I came to the construction site for internship as a freshman in college, they were very envious.

After half a month of getting along, Zhang Tao has become the "boss" of this group of young people. The feeling of walking on the construction site and being called "Brother Tao" or "Engineer Zhang" is really comfortable.

This heightened sense of presence was something he had never experienced in school.

To be honest, if Zhang Yi hadn't come to pick him up today, he would have forgotten that school was about to start.

I'm kind of addicted, what can I do?

Zhang Tao reported to Zhang Yi the results of his internship over the past month. He talked for most of the day and seemed to be talking nonstop.

It was also the first time that Zhang Yi discovered that his cousin was actually a chatterbox.

It seems that the hidden personality was forced out under the environment of the construction site.

However, Zhang Yi knew that once Zhang Tao left the construction site and returned to school or home, he would return to his previous taciturn state.

Only after going through the baptism of the construction site will he become more mature in dealing with all aspects of life.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, your mother is waiting at home." Zhang Yi said.

"Okay!" Zhang Tao went to pack up.

Hong Wuhu said: "Don't worry, we still want to hold a farewell party for Xiao Tao."

Zhang Yi said: "If you don't want to let him go, I will send him to the construction site during the winter vacation."

"Okay, that's what you said!" Hong Wuhu was overjoyed when he heard that.

It can be seen that the fifth brother really needs cheap cattle and horses like Zhang Tao who are honest and obedient and can produce materials.

When Zhang Tao came, he only had a suitcase and a woven bag, which could fit in the trunk of the Audi.

When he left, he had a lot more stuff with him, including shoes, clothes, and food. Even two packs of Red General cigarettes, Zhang Yi pretended not to see them.

It is easy for young people to learn to smoke on construction sites.

But what about that laptop?

"Where did this computer come from?" Zhang Yi asked.

Zhang Tao said: "I prepared the completion data of ten buildings for Brother Wu. He treated me to a meal and gave me this old laptop. He also said that I could help him prepare the data when I was not busy on weekends."

Gan!

Hong Wuhu just said aggrievedly that he only prepared the basic data for five buildings...

It turned out that the completion data for ten buildings were prepared.

Zhang Yi sighed and said nothing.

Sooner or later young people will be beaten by society when they enter it.

Hong Wuhu was a relatively considerate person and gave at least one thousand yuan, plus a second-hand laptop.

It's just a bit too cheap.

But this is a matter of mutual consent, and Zhang Yi has no intention of interfering.

"Wait a minute!" Hong Sihai ran over with an envelope in his hand. "I almost forgot about the important matter. Xiao Tao, this is your internship salary."

Zhang Tao took the envelope, opened it, and said hurriedly, "Fourth brother, there are five hundred more."

It was agreed when Zhang Tao came for the internship that his salary would be 500 yuan, but Hong Sihai gave him only 1,000 yuan.

"It's not much, you deserve it!" Hong Sihai said with a smile.

"Take it!" Zhang Yi said.

Hong Wuhu also ran over to say goodbye, "If you want to come to the construction site, give me a call and I'll drive to pick you up!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tao nodded vigorously, then waved goodbye to his colleagues who came over.

Finally, before getting on the car, he hugged Hong Wuhu. The reluctant atmosphere made Zhang Yi frown.

On the way back, Zhang Yi asked, "Is Fifth Brother very good to you?"

Zhang Tao said: "It's pretty good. When I work overtime, he always leaves me instant noodles and sausages. A few days ago, during the construction site foundation acceptance, I produced the basic data in two days. To thank me, he even invited me out for a drink."

"He didn't take you to other messy places, right?" Zhang Yi asked.

The fifth brother is a well-known old bachelor. In addition to his love of gossip, watching dramas, and making rumors, he also likes singing, foot washing and massage. He led Wang Jiaxin into a ditch back then...

"No... no, he asked me to go, but I felt that kind of place was not decent, so I refused to go." Zhang Tao's face turned red and he quickly denied it.

Zhang Yi was skeptical and said, "It's better not to be there. That place is not clean. Be careful not to get sick. There is also the risk of entering a sewing machine."

"It's just washing feet, it shouldn't be that serious..." Zhang Tao blurted out, then suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"I just washed my feet once, seriously, Brother Yi, please believe me."

"Humph!" Zhang Yi sneered, "I'm just giving you a reminder. If Second Aunt knew you'd been to that place, she would scold me to death!"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense." Zhang Tao promised.

Zhang Yi sighed. Fifth brother is a guy who never tires of teaching.

"What else did you do?"

"I just helped him with the documentation. He saw that I could learn quickly and the documentation was very detailed, so he assigned me some documentation work." Zhang Tao spoke more cautiously. "I did the documentation work when I was free at school to earn some tuition and pocket money."

"Well, learning how to make materials is also a gain. At least I will have a way to make a living after graduation." Zhang Yi nodded.

"In fact, it is quite simple to make materials. There are templates in the software. All you need to do is slightly change a few data. I don't understand why others can't learn such a simple thing." Zhang Tao was quite proud.

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Haha, the data software was developed by my company!"

"Is this true?" Zhang Tao's eyes widened when he heard this.

In an instant, Zhang Yi became much taller in his eyes.

During the time at the construction site, he heard that Zhang Yi had invested in Hong Sihai's company and was considered a major shareholder of Sihai Company.

This is also the main reason why he can be successful on the construction site.

Without Zhang Yi's background, he would have to do the same as other technical secondary school students, building green nets, cleaning toilets, and shoveling shit in the basement every day...

It was almost lunch time, and Zhang Yi drove to his second uncle's house.

As soon as the car stopped, Second Aunt heard the noise and came trotting out.

"Oh my little Tao, why are you so tanned!"

As soon as they met, Second Aunt felt distressed. She grabbed Zhang Tao's arm and asked about his well-being, mostly asking about how the food was at the construction site, whether it was hard, and whether he was bullied.

Zhang Tao smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm doing very well at the construction site. I eat well and sleep well. No one bullies me. Look, I'm much stronger than before, and I've gained ten pounds."

Second uncle came out wearing an apron, greeted Zhang Yi first, and then helped carry the luggage.

"Why is there an extra computer? Also, what's with these two packs of cigarettes?" asked the second uncle.

"I bought the cigarettes for you, and I earned the money for the computer from working!" Zhang Tao straightened his back and was particularly proud of lying.

When my second uncle heard this, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

It’s not easy. After raising him for more than 20 years, the kid finally knows how to respect him.

Second Aunt said: "You only earn 500 yuan a month at the construction site, where do you get so much spare money!!"

"Mom, let me tell you, I worked really hard at the construction site and earned this amount of money!" Zhang Tao stretched out his index and middle fingers and made a "Yeah" gesture.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Second Aunt pulled her son into the house.

Don’t show your wealth to others!

The second uncle laughed. He could clearly feel the huge changes in his son.

It seemed like after not seeing him for a month, Zhang Tao had become more confident, and both his speech and actions were much more mature than before.

"Xiaoyi, go inside and have some tea first. I'll go to the kitchen. There are only two more dishes left. We'll eat right away." The second uncle had a huge smile on his face.

Inside the room, Second Aunt looked at the two thousand yuan in her hand, feeling both happy and distressed.

"I'll save this money for you and use it as tuition when school starts." Second Aunt put the money in her pocket and came over to pour tea for Zhang Yi.

"Xiao Yi, thank you. I wrongly blamed you before. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "We are all family, so it's a bit awkward to say this. But even so, I still suggest that Xiao Tao change his major."

"What major is better to change to these days?" Second Aunt asked humbly.

Zhang Tao shook his head and said, "I feel that civil engineering is pretty good and I don't want to change it. Besides, it's quite troublesome to change majors in the second year of college. The school's procedures are not easy to deal with, and it's not easy to make up for the many professional courses I've missed."

Okay, this is our last reminder!

You will regret it later.

Amid the constant expressions of gratitude from his second uncle's family, Zhang Yi had a happy lunch.

After Zhang Tao's internship, the relationship between the second uncle's family and Zhang Yi's family became more harmonious. The second uncle spoke well of Zhang Yi to everyone he met, and of course, he couldn't help but praise his own son...

Starting from late August, as the typhoon approached, Quanshui City experienced four consecutive days of rain, which put the drainage system of this second-tier city to a severe test.

Many construction sites were affected and stopped working, even Zhang Yi’s house renovation was suspended.

Early that morning, as soon as Zhang Yi arrived at the company, Shen Ye came running over to visit him, cursing.

Because the Mercedes-Benz he just bought was soaked in water!

After getting married, he and Fang Xinyi temporarily rented a residential complex in Dongzhang, and their car was parked in the underground parking lot.

"Lao Zhang, why am I so unlucky?"

Fang Xinyi's Mercedes had been in two car accidents, and the Mercedes he had just replaced was damaged by water.

Just thinking about it is depressing enough.

Zhang Yi said, "It means you are not meant to be with Mercedes-Benz. Why don't you drive your Yadi instead?"

"Accord, not Yadi electric car!" Shen Ye rolled his eyes angrily, "Accord was sold to Jiaxin, I don't have a car to drive now."

"Huh? How come I don't know when it happened?" said Zhang Yi.

"I changed the car during those two days." Shen Ye said, "It was transferred for 80,000. After all, it was an accident car. Jiaxin is also one of us, so I am embarrassed to ask for too much."

"This kid changed his car before buying a house!" Zhang Yi complained.

"Hey, don't mention it. They had a fight!" Shen Ye said with his teeth bared, "I persuaded them for a long time, and finally asked for 30,000 yuan first. We can talk about the remaining 50,000 later."

Zhang Yi heard something else when he heard this.

"You...are not short of money now, right?"

"Hehe, I cleared out all the stocks and made a small profit of about two million!" Shen Ye was beaming with joy, looking very proud.
