"How long have you been working at the Binota Mine?"
Zhang Heng then beckoned the waiter to bring two more glasses of wine to the miners.
"I have been working at the Binota Mine for five years. However, I did change jobs for two years, in between. I loaded and unloaded goods at the wharf. The work there was a little easier than in the mine, but the income was also lesser. Later, I had a fourth daughter and needed more money. So I went back to the mine," the older miner explained. After that, he pointed at the younger miner beside him.
"He is my nephew, and he came to work with me in the mines this year. He is a good boy, never complains about anything. All he does is work hard."
"Well, when did you stop work working this time?" Zhang Heng then asked.
"It was about half a month ago," the old miner recalled.
