I have worked with several people, all of whom are carpenters.
Once, our house was repaired in 18. At that time, carpenters, masons and plumbers were called.
If it suddenly rains in the middle of doing something, other masons and plumbers will put down their belongings and go home. Carpenters, however, are different. A group of seven of them insisted on building a mahjong table and playing a few games. When the rain stopped, they did nothing. A dozen a day.
It was getting dark, and I asked, Who won? Who lost?
One of them smiled and said, I lost 500, and he won alone!
The winner refuses to accept: where did you lose 500? I just won more than 300 yuan!
They all got into the foreman's van together, noisy and laughing, and told them not to eat at night.
I thought to myself, this is not his day's salary, and he doesn't feel bad?
This has happened more than once. When our house is repaired, nine times out of ten we will play mahjong whenever it rains.
The second time, last year, I took on a small renovation project. At that time, there were welders, masons, steel workers and carpenters.
After the project was finished, other teams settled accounts and even became partners, but the foreman of the woodworking group insisted on taking me for a drink and singing a little song. I said, forget it, it's not necessary. Just a few old acquaintances. It's not easy to make a few hard wires. Don't waste money.
The foreman just refused, as if I owed him something or was addicted to eating and drinking. To lose face is to look down on him.
At this point, I have to agree and say, well, I eat rice, but I don't drink. Drink it yourself. I won't take part in the later program.
Why do they have to invite me to dinner, drink and sing karaoke?
I think it's because I get along well with them. I didn't forget them when I took over the business. I have money to earn together. Thank me.
Also, I just hope that the next time I take business, I will ask them to do it, or call it "engaging in relationships."
But in my impression, I only know how to eat, drink, play cards, gamble and drink karaoke, which is originally the business of those bosses and salespeople in the city.
As soon as they meet, they always say, brother, it's been a long time. Shall we get together today? Have a drink? Or: How about buying you a song and soaking your feet?
How can there be a free afternoon in the sun?
It's not for nothing to invite you to dinner, drink, play cards and sing. It's a business practice. How do migrant workers learn?
In other words, how can carpenters today enjoy this?
I estimate:
First, carpenters have higher wages, higher incomes and more cables than other types of work;
Second, the old melon seeds of dry carpenters turn fast and are easy to accept new things;
Third, carpenters have also learned to make friends and engage in social activities in order to work more in the future, which shows that they have an economic mind.
From the age point of view, they are basically in their forties, which is a good opportunity to engage in interpersonal relationships and networks and lay the foundation for future development.
As for supporting the family, the family must support it, and we also want to make the mother and son at home live better in the future.
However, I still want to advise you here that even if you want to have fun, you should stop and live within your means. If, as the subject said, you play cards and eat and drink all day after work, it's really not good to go on like this. It's impossible not to cherish hard-earned money!
Woodworking masters, do you think so?
You should know that migrant workers are very tired. Eat, drink and be merry, play cards in your spare time, and adjust your body and mind.
We can't think that they (mostly young adults) are machines. They are so tired that they sweat or even bleed every day, and then they eat a few steamed buns and go to bed. They are also flesh and blood people, with feelings and family ties. They will spend money and try their best to take care of their families, children and the elderly.
If the questioner cares about them, please give this group more sympathy and care!
Do migrant workers on the construction site eat and drink after work?
Judging from the situation around me, what you said here may not be true. The working people around me, including myself, can also get paid. But eat and drink very little.
These people are basically hardworking and can bear hardships. Those who eat cheap meals will never eat expensive ones, and those who eat box lunch will never go to restaurants. As long as the money is in place, overtime is normal. Every time I get paid, I will be sent home to support my family.
In this case, yes! But by no means most, including those who play cards!
Your statement is unscientific. Why? Migrant workers don't eat or drink, but they are very poor. Now there are construction sites everywhere, and migrant workers can often be seen eating and drinking in restaurants. But anchor, what have you seen migrant workers order and drink, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold rice noodles, at most a small fish to cook tofu, pepper to stir-fry meat, and what kind of wine to drink, a dozen dollars of Erguotou, add up to a few dollars? Migrant workers, why do you want to drink? Not just to relieve fatigue. Have you seen it at the construction site? After a hard day's work, migrant workers have backache and leg pain. They drink some wine so that they can have a good sleep, replenish some physical strength and have spiritual work the next day. After a day's work, migrant workers are so tired that their bones are scattered. If they don't drink some wine, they may not stand up. The anchor had the cheek to say that migrant workers ate and drank. Migrant workers are mean to themselves, but generous to their families. Their children's tuition and their wives' cosmetics are all earned by migrant workers. Tired from work, what's wrong with drinking, playing cards. To tell the truth, I have never seen it before. Unless everyone has a holiday during the Spring Festival, migrant workers stay at home to get together and play cards in order to pass the boring time.
I want to ask the questioner, do you know anything about migrant workers? Don't talk nonsense without knowing you!
Migrant workers on the construction site are also human beings. They are allowed to eat and drink every day, but they are not allowed to eat and drink?
If you really know about migrant workers, you will find that eating and drinking in your eyes is actually not lower than an ordinary dish in a restaurant outside. Take Yantai, Shandong Province as an example. Fast food at the entrance of the construction site, disposable lunch boxes, casual dishes, steamed bread for one yuan, rice for two yuan, beer is the most common beer, three yuan a bottle. You can calculate how much you can eat, but the most. But in the eyes of some people, this fifteen yuan has become a big meal!
Are engaged in heavy physical labor on the construction site. After a hard day's work, they dragged their tired bodies and sat in the food stall, ordering a bottle of beer and a snack to treat themselves.
Friends take turns to treat guests, which is actually an ordinary dish. The most common dishes are pork head and peanuts. I bought some beer or white wine and smoked more than ten dollars. In order to add a little fun to my life, the whole world is talking about it. In fact, this kind of expense is not big at all, and it is not like this every day. It's really not much money to comment on personal portraits.
As for playing cards, it must be after work or when it is windy and rainy. If you don't go to work under normal circumstances and play cards in the dormitory, you will not only be criticized by the contractor, but also despised by the workers, because everyone goes out to make money, not to play cards.
After a hard day, some people drink a little wine outside, some people video chat with their families, some people brush videos, some people like playing cards and so on. These are just a way for workers to relieve stress and hard work. There is no need to go online!
I have been a quality inspector on the construction site for eight years, and I know them well.
You said they still eat and drink after work, but they still know how much it will cost. Most people send the money they earn home, leaving a small part of their own expenses.
Because they are too tired and nervous at work, they don't drink or play cards, and there is nowhere to release their work pressure.
Think about it, working upstairs in summer, tying steel bars and beating concrete, the temperature is over 40 degrees, and after working for a few hours, my clothes are soaked, and I don't stop drinking water, otherwise I will get heatstroke. Work is hard, making money is really hard!
Migrant workers nowadays are different from before. Many migrant workers wear fashionable clothes after work and pack up into fashionable and handsome young people. They go to karaoke bars to sing and dance, and go to the cinema to watch movies. They have their own entertainment space.
Although it was very bitter and tired, no one complained. I asked them, don't you have any troubles living like this? They say it's no use worrying, just live one day at a time. And laughed.
When I am sad, I think of them. They bring you an optimistic attitude.
It's true. We have one on this construction site. He is in his fifties and comes from Zhoukou. What is he? He just loves to drink and play, only occasionally. He is in the small supermarket at the gate of the construction site before going to work every day. He had to buy a bottle of wine and drink it twice before going to work, because the foreman punished him a lot. But you can't change it. Get rid of him. He is skilled, has a good working attitude and works fast. It's really hard to find. It's up to him as long as he doesn't drink too much. The foreman supervises him before going to work every day. He can only drink it twice. Besides, he really eats and drinks when he makes some money. Every day after work, he asked several people to drink until midnight. If it rains or rests the next day, you will be even worse. He can drink until evening and then go out to play. Everyone should understand what to play. According to his foreman, his monthly salary can be around 12 thousand, and there is not much money left when he goes home every year in recent years, because this daughter-in-law divorced him. The son and daughter-in-law have no money to let him in, but he still can't change his eating and drinking habits. In his own words, this is his hobby.
Don't persuade others to be good, don't suffer others. You can ask this question. I thought of Emperor Jinhui. The minister reported to him that "the hungry people can't even eat" and he asked "Why not eat minced meat"?
There is such a plot on TV: before the death squads leave, they always eat and have a good time and get a little poor spiritual compensation. The same is true for migrant workers, who also work without belts and exchange their lives for money.
I have an uncle who often goes to work on the construction site. Over the years, he had his toe broken by a brick and his stomach cut by a chainsaw. He once rode a motorcycle to work, installed a running dog at a passing intersection, broke his leg and rested for more than half a year.
Of course, not every migrant worker is as unhappy as my uncle. However, even if they are not injured, migrant workers over the age of 60 often have waist problems, ranging from lumbar muscle strain to lumbar disc herniation. Needless to say, the importance of waist to people is not good, and it is difficult to say happiness because of the inconvenience of old age.
Most migrant workers regard their jobs as "coolies", but there is no other way out. They are depressed and full of negative energy. Eating, drinking and having fun is a way to vent negative energy, otherwise it will suppress psychological problems.
This is a bit biased, and the migrant workers who eat, drink and play cards are definitely a minority!
But if you pass by some construction sites or lots where there are many migrant workers, you can see some migrant workers eating big bowls and drinking some white wine or beer in the small restaurant below, but does this mean that they don't care about their homes? Does that mean they don't support their families?
No!
First, many migrant workers are from other places. They have left their homes, and most of them live in temporary prefabricated houses built on the construction site, or houses shared by several people, or dormitories provided by factories. Therefore, it is impossible for them to go home every day or even every month, which is an extravagant hope. More often, they go home once every six months or once a year.
This is the reality, for example, many people go to Guangzhou to work, and basically they can only go home once a year during the Spring Festival. Even if I work in a local city, I often go home only once every few months, or because there are weddings and funerals in my hometown and rural areas, and the construction site is idle.
Second, why do migrant workers on the construction site eat and drink, not only eating meat in a big bowl, but also drinking?
If you understand this behavior as corruption and alcoholism, you are all wet. Migrant workers work hard outside, mostly manual labor, so their appetite is often large, and they can eat two or three bowls in a big bowl. Besides, if they don't eat meat or fat, their bodies can't stand it at all. So there are special mobile dining cars near some construction sites to provide meals for migrant workers. They understand the needs of migrant workers and weigh much more than hotels.
Drinking, whether beer or liquor, or even smoking by some migrant workers, is a little relief to the monotonous life on the construction site day after day.
What do they live for? In addition to distant family members, we should also satisfy our current eating and drinking, so as to have more motivation to make money!
People who have never experienced it may be difficult to understand!
Third, migrant workers on the construction site, regardless of their wives and children?
Wrong, they are the pillars of the family, not only to take care of their wives and children, but also to take care of the elderly. They have a heavy burden. The expenses of the whole family all point to him. There are gifts at home, children go to school, and the elderly are sick ... It's all money!
However, they can't take care of the elderly, wives and children. They can't give up their jobs to spend time with their children. That means that this family may have food and clothing problems, what to eat and wear, and what about the children's tuition?
In fact, as far as I know, children are the most important thing for migrant workers to work outside the home. Some couples both work outside the home, and the children stay at home to take care of their grandparents and become left-behind children. Parents can only see their children once or twice a year, and the most worrying thing is their children's study. If they are addicted to mobile games, it is over. ...
However, migrant workers are forced to work outside for the whole family. What can they do?
