Chapter 77: Early eting
In Shanbai Village, the sun had just risen.
Wang ng woke up on his one-ter-wide bed, washed up, and ate.
He was a transporter driver who ca here to pull the coal.
Now, there was a long line of cars outside the coal mine at the back of Shanbai Village every day. They were all there to pull the coal.
The coal mined by Shanbai Village every day did not need to be stored anywhere. It was imdiately pulled away by the transporters waiting in line.
The price of the coal also kept changing. It started from 500, and beca 1,000, or even higher.
The queue for the transporter at the back of Shanbai Village grew longer and longer. So people waited all day unsuccessfully. They could only wait another day at Shanbai Village.
Seeing this, Old Wang thought of a way to earn money.
He started a small hotel to accommodate the transporters who ca to Shanbai Village to pull the coal. It wasn’t expensive, but it was still an inco.
Seeing Wang ng co out, Old Wang smiled and greeted him, “You’re up. Perfect, the food in the canteen should be ready now. Just in ti for you to eat sothing warm!”
Wang ng smiled and replied. He then went to a large canteen built at the back of the mountain to eat his breakfast.
Building this big canteen was Xie Zhou’s idea. Building such a canteen made it convenient for the workers to have their als.
The won in charge of cooking in the canteen were all won from the village. They could receive a salary every month.
Later, the transporters who ca here to pull coal also started having their als here.
Wang ng walked to the canteen and bought two stead buns and a bowl of porridge.
He liked the canteen very much. The prices of the food were very cheap, but there was a lot of food. There were both at and vegetables. Moreover, it was delicious. His appetite was not small, but eating two buns and a bowl of porridge here was sufficient for him to eat his fill.
Wang ng was eating when he heard the announcent.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Wang ng hurriedly finished the porridge and held the half eaten stead bun in his hand as he walked outside to see what had happened.
Wang ng followed the stream of people and arrived at an empty area. It seed like a large field.
There were more and more people in the field. There were n and won, both old and young. They were all from the Shanbai Village.
The loudspeaker in the village was still shouting, “The eting is starting, the eting is starting. Everyone, gather as soon as possible!”
Wang ng was only focused on the commotion and did not notice who was standing beside him. He asked, “Does your village have a eting every morning? This is too troubleso! Besides, how can there be so much to talk about in one day?”
Xie Zhou was also squeezed into the crowd. When he heard Wang ng’s question, he replied, “It is to discuss so things to take note of when mining. It won’t take a few minutes!”
All the villagers of the Shanbai Village had gathered. The n lined up in pairs on the left, and the won on the right. The lines were very neat.
The forr village chief, Sun Chengfu, was standing on the stage at the front. He held a loudspeaker and shouted, “Start counting now!”
The n started counting.
“Shanbai Coal Mine, team one, all in position!”
…
“Shanbai Coal Mine, team six, all in position!”
Then, the won started counting.
“Shanbai Village Apple team, all in position!”
…
“Shanbai Village Strawberry team, all in position!”
Wang ng laughed when he heard the won call out their team nas. The stead bun in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Sun Chengfu said, “Alright! Then, today’s eting will officially begin. Firstly, according to the usual practice, let’s recite in our hearts the safety regulations that we need to take note of at work!”
Sun Chengfu held the loudspeaker and loudly recited the safety regulations on the stage. After he finished reciting it, he continued shouting, “Next, it’s ti for physical training!”
Wang ng asked again, “What is physical training? Why is it training? Why is your village acting like it’s the army?”
He had previously transported things to the army and had seen them gather for training. The eting in the Shanbai Village was similar to that.
