"I'm going out!" In the morning, after eating breakfast, Cao Min packed up the
emergency food packaging left over from his meal. Then he said hello to his
family, carried his equipment, and prepared to go out.
Before the disaster, Cao Min also had a good job and a happy family, but the
disaster came and ruined his original happy life.
Today's Cao Min is just an ordinary construction worker. Although this is very
different from his previous job, it is not easy to have a stable job in
today's environment.
Although the country attaches great importance to talents, people who are
truly capable will be recruited by the country to engage in jobs similar to
those before the disaster, but there are also industry restrictions.
Talents in technology-based industries such as manufacturing and R&D can
naturally find new jobs smoothly, but it is difficult for personnel in
tertiary industries such as service and finance to find suitable jobs in this
era.
This is actually the inevitability of the times and the environment. The
development of the tertiary industry is based on the overall economic
prosperity and development of a country. People want to enjoy more services
because they have money.
The poor can't even afford to eat, so why would they want more services?
This is why Cao Min is now just an ordinary construction worker. In the refuge
where he is, only this job can give him enough income to support his family.
Because of post-disaster reconstruction, construction workers are now the most
in-demand job. Although there are other better jobs in various shelters, they
are not available to ordinary people.
For ordinary people like Cao Min who have no special skills, a construction
worker who is purely physical is the most suitable job right now.
Cao Min's work today is not complicated. He only needs to go to the
construction site outside the refuge to clean up the ruins of the old city and
level the land.
This is a simple job that only needs enough physical strength to complete it,
so there is no difficulty, nothing more than a little tired.
As far as Cao Min is concerned, it doesn’t matter if he is tired. He is still
young anyway, and he is full of energy the next day after he goes home and
sleeps after work. As long as he has enough income every day to support his
family, for Cao Min It's nothing to be tired.
Just when Cao Min followed the workers to the construction site and was about
to start the day's work, the foreman stopped them.
"Recently, a new project is going to be started, and some people must be
transferred from our side." The foreman said something unexpected for the
workers, and continued to make supplementary explanations: "The good news is
transferred from the past. Workers’ pay will be increased by 10%, but the bad
news is that the new project is located close to the county and far from the
city, so all the workers transferred from the past will need to live on the
construction site before the project is completed.
Of course, there are still holidays to come back every week, and registration
is currently on a voluntary basis. Does anyone want to register? "
The foreman’s words made everyone hesitate and excited. The 10% more income is
undoubtedly very tempting in this environment. After all, it is not money that
is sent out, but real materials, which can be eaten by the family. Things to
wear and warm.
But living on the construction site, this inevitably makes everyone feel a
little drumming.
Before the disaster, this was a matter of indifference. It was nothing more
than poor accommodation and a bit more difficult.
But in the current environment, living on the construction site is not only
the conditions worse, people will freeze to death if it doesn't work well.
Of course, the workers also know that since the country has decided to do
this, of course it will not say that it is really freezing to death, and that
the various accommodation conditions should still be guaranteed.
As for whether the living is good or not, in today's world, it's good to have
a place to live, it doesn't matter whether it is good or not.
But for the vast majority of people, they still want to live in a stable and
familiar environment like a refuge, and are less willing to take risks in an
unfamiliar environment.
However, some people coveted the 10% more income and raised their hands,
expressing their willingness to work on new projects.
Cao Min is naturally one of them.
Although he said that he didn't want to leave his wife and family, and he
didn't covet the extra 10% of his income, Cao Min had a reason not to go.
His wife is pregnant.
This is a happy thing whether it was before the disaster or in this terrible
environment.
Especially when the people's livelihood is difficult now, the family can have
a small family, and the husband and wife can have a child of their own. The
crystallization of love is a joyful thing.
But it is also a heavy burden.
Of course, the state has subsidies in this regard. Pregnant women can get half
an extra ration to supplement their nutrition, and there are additional
subsidies after the baby is born.
This can be regarded as the country's encouragement to fertility in the
current environment.
It's just that even with these, it is still difficult and worthy of the
current conditions. Before the disaster, let alone the chickens that could be
bought before the disaster, now it is something that Cao Min didn't dare to
think about.
What he can think of and can do is just that he can do more and save more
rations for his wife and the child who is about to be born, so as not to make
the child hungry before he is born.
In fact, most of those who go to work on the site voluntarily are also such
people. Perhaps it is to save more food for the family, or for other reasons.
In the worst case, it is a bachelor and wants to eat more.
In short, the foreman quickly recruited enough workers, UU read
www.uukanshu.com and registered them one by one.
The new project hasn't started yet, and they don't need to go so early now,
they are just determining the list.
After watching the foreman register his name, Cao Min felt relieved. Only then
did Cao Min return to the construction site with the workers and start today's
work.
Although the country decided to put the newly built dome city on the county
side due to geological disasters, it does not mean that the urban area has
completely abandoned it.
Although the area of the collapsed area is not small, it is fortunate that
it is not an urban area. Moreover, geologists have investigated and determined
that the geological structure of the urban area is fairly stable. Although the
groundwater level has dropped, it has not reached the point where the city
needs to be abandoned. .
Therefore, the final plan is to build a new city in the county area, but the
existing urban area on the urban side will not be abandoned, but a part of the
population will be moved to the new city first, and the ruins and land
leveling will be carried out on the urban side. The possibility of building a
dome city in the urban area.
