Chapter 127

What does it do?

Huang Lu could clearly feel that Luo Qiang's expression had stagnated for a moment, the stupidity just now was gone, and he became hesitant to speak.

Huang Lu's heart suddenly became alarmed, and the words of the mutton noodle stall owner once again appeared in his mind, and began to play in a loop.

"What kind of work?" Huang Lu asked again stubbornly, thought about it and laughed again, and said jokingly: "Confronting a group of dogs at night, that is, there are many night shifts in this area, otherwise I would think that you were kicked out by your girlfriend." ”

At the mention of the word girlfriend, the expression on Luo Qiang's face became even more entangled. He glanced at Huang Lu and hesitated to speak: "It's not a girlfriend, it's a wife, we have a wedding wine and a certificate." ”

Huang Lu: "......"

Luo Qiang's explanation choked Huang Lu, he felt that this person was really stupid, and he couldn't figure out the point now.

"Oh, you're getting married pretty early. Huang Lu sighed with emotion.

I've been working with factories here for a long time, and I've learned a lot about the countryside in various places. Although everyone comes from all over the world, the vast majority of rural areas have two things in common: backwardness and poverty.

After nine years of compulsory education, the number of people who cannot afford to go to school has decreased, but more often than not, they do not know why they want to go to school.

It seems that reading books for them is only for literacy and arithmetic.

When you learn these two things, the rest becomes completely unnecessary. Or rather, too far away to be delusional.

Going to high school and going to university? That's what only people in the city do, and it's normal for people to be poor for so many generations, and if you don't study well, you should continue to face the loess with your back to the sky or go out to work.

Especially in some particularly remote rural areas, the task is completed after nine years of compulsory education, and no longer continue to go to school and cannot afford to go to any school, so they stay at home to help with farming, and when they are a little older, the family begins to think about marriage.

After getting married, what seems to be your own life really begins. You can stay at home and continue to farm, you can go to the town and county to do key things, or you can go to the big city to work through the introduction of relatives and friends.

Luo Qiang estimated that it was the latter, and when he was just a child, he began to take on the responsibilities of a new family. The immaturity and confusion on his face were intertwined, mixed with that stupidity, and he explained stubbornly and very seriously: We have set up a wedding wine and pulled a marriage certificate.

The words of the mutton noodle stall owner inexplicably made Huang Lu feel a little happy at this time.

"Then you were kicked out by her because of a quarrel at night?" Huang Lu turned over and sat up, this time he was really curious.

"No, we're on good terms. Luo Qiang denied it without hesitation, and didn't know how to continue.

"Sit down, stand like something. Huang Lu said it again, and Luo Qiang slowly sat down on the sofa opposite.

It is estimated that he is still very restrained, Luo Qiang did not relax and sat on it completely, almost only sitting on one edge.

A little further on, you can do a half-squat.

Huang Lu's curiosity suddenly vanished, and he was replaced by embarrassment.

People have been kicked out, and I still keep asking here, it's so annoying.

"Eh, what ...... then" Just when Huang Lu couldn't hold back his voice and wanted to turn the topic over, Luo Qiang spoke: "I wasn't kicked out by her, I was from where I worked." ”

"Oh," Huang Lu didn't expect the other party to answer so honestly and calmly, and he was a little stunned for a while, and subconsciously spoke: "Kicked out of the place where he works?"

"Hmm. Luo Qiang nodded, glanced at Huang Lu, and said, "I think you're pretty stupid." ”

Huang Lu: ???

This person is the opposite, obviously the most stupid is him, why does he despise himself in turn?

"I wasn't kicked out of my place of work at night. ”

"You ask me so directly, and you're not afraid of my embarrassment. ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm thick-skinned. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed. ”

Luo Qiang couldn't help but be happy, and I have to say that Huang Lu's relaxed and natural tone made him a lot more relaxed.

"Actually, I wasn't kicked out, I walked on my own. After thinking about it, Luo Qiang explained again.

"Okay, you, it's not been long since you went to work, and you even learned to fry the boss's squid?" Huang Lu also followed suit, got up and went to the kitchen to look around, took two packs of instant noodles out, and said, "Since you just got off work, are you hungry, let's make noodles and eat." Anyway, I'm hungry, and I've just gotten off work. As soon as I got downstairs, I exercised so intensely. ”

Referring to the oolong chase battle that the two of them had just experienced, Luo Qiang's only nervousness disappeared completely, and he pulled his neck and responded: "Eat!"

"Eat, eat, shout so loudly that you don't look like you're hungry. Huang Lu complained mercilessly.

After all, the place where Huang Lu lives is also a rural house, and the house still retains its original structural layout after being carefully cleaned up. The kitchen is open, and Luo Qiang, who is sitting in the living room, can see the movement over there as soon as he looks up.

After boiling water in the pot, Huang Lu found two more cabbages and washed them.

Luo Qiang listened to the sound of gurgling boiling water from the kitchen, and his mood was completely relaxed.

"Let's eat," Huang Lu brought the noodles to the coffee table, and his tone was full of unconcealable sneer: "Don't say anything else, I really cook instant noodles." ”

After Luo Qiang thanked him briefly, he picked up the chopsticks and started. At first, I paid a little attention to it, but after two bites, I didn't care about it at all.

Huang Lu's skills in cooking instant noodles can indeed be regarded as good, but the most important thing is that he is too hungry now.

"There's no food there in the middle of the night. Luo Qiang ate and ate, and suddenly said.

Because he had something in his mouth and couldn't speak very clearly, Huang Lu asked suspiciously, "What?"

Luo Qiang finally finished the last bite of noodles, and then raised his head and said again: "The place where I work, there is no food in the middle of the night shift." ”

"Well, after all, no one can get up in the middle of the night to cook. ”

I guess there's no place to heat a meal.

Luo Qiang glanced at the noodle bowl again with some unfinished thinking, Huang Lu waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Drink the soup quickly, it's convenient to wash it." ”

Luo Qiang suddenly laughed embarrassedly, but still picked up the noodle bowl and drank the soup clean.

"I didn't know before, and my friend didn't remind me. After Luo Qiang finished drinking, he continued: "Every day at this point, I am hungry, and I can almost hear my stomach beating gongs and drums in the second half of the night. ”

Not to mention ordinary small workshops, even some relatively large factories usually do not have a place to heat up meals at night. In the eyes of many people, it seems that the night is just night, and there is no need to formally prepare three meals a day like during the day. After eating before work, you don't have to eat anything for the whole night.

Even though, these night shifts treat night as day.

"It'll be fine after a while," Huang Lu didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so he could only comfort weakly and palely: "When the weather is good after a while, prepare some more meals before going to work, put them in a lunch box and take them with you, and eat them when you are hungry in the middle of the night." After all, I have to work all night, and it's good to have three stable meals. ”

Huang Lu estimated that this person should be working in a nearby workshop, and only a small workshop could make people come out for so long. The work in the factory workshop often does not require too much technical content, and most of the time, it is just standing on the sidelines and watching the machine drive the yarn constantly on its own. Workers stand aside and only need to check regularly to make sure that the machine is in good condition or that there is a problem such as knotting and breaking yarn. After a large roll of sight, it is necessary to replace it with a new yarn that needs to be operated in time to ensure that the machine can be restored to operation as soon as possible.

It's easy to say, but whether it's yarn stretching or garment making, a worker often needs to look at several machines at the same time.

The factory owner maximizes the value and time of each worker, and like those incomparably expensive machines, it is best to keep them in a constant state except for unnecessary downtime.

"Not good. ”

"What?" Huang Lu didn't hear clearly, or said this ordinary scene, he didn't expect the other party to refute at all.

The tone of the rebuttal was still so low.

"I can't go. Luo Qiang looked up at Huang Lu, and then quickly lowered his head, and his voice was full of loss: "I left halfway through work." ”

This person was stunned, but he didn't expect his temperament to be quite big.

"Are you still firing the boss's squid?" Huang Lu stood up, didn't move after putting the bowl away, looked at the other party condescendingly, sighed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The other party is so pitiful, he really can't continue to talk about the perfunctory scene, pretending that nothing has been heard and nothing has happened.

"They dislike me. ”

Huang Lu originally wanted to go to the kitchen to put the dishes and chopsticks, but he thought that the other party would have to be uncomfortable for a while, but he didn't expect to confess so honestly.

"Why do you dislike you?regional discrimination?" Huang Lu thought about it, put the bowl back on the table, and looked at Luo Qiang and said very seriously: "In this small and broken place, the foreign population is almost 80 percent, and it is really rare to engage in regional discrimination, but you can tell me which one." ”

"Not really. ”

"What's that, you can say it. ”

Maybe Huang Lu showed a completely different seriousness than just now, Luo Qiang only hesitated, and then opened his mouth: "Actually, I don't even understand what that job is called." ”

"What? You don't even know what you do?" Huang Lu really couldn't hold back, and his voice rose a lot. After finishing speaking, I also reacted, I don't understand the content of my work and the situation of my position, and I am really not a minority in this industry.

As the saying goes, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and the positions and division of labor below are quite complicated, not to mention that in today's environment, there are far more than three hundred and sixty lines.

Before the actual job, most people's understanding of the specific job position usually only comes from completely ungrounded TV series and books, and a small number of them come from relatives and friends. The job positions in society are also simply and crudely divided into empty and broad terms such as scientists, doctors, civil servants, designers, white-collar workers, and blue-collar workers. In an industry, there are countless people who need to handle each link, especially in the production industry.

From the design and development of raw materials, to manufacturing, promotion and marketing, and even the production and manufacturing and promotion and marketing of different links, there are even countless specific staff responsible for connecting each link. Except for people in the industry, there is usually no way for anyone else to understand or imagine the specific job content, or even the name of the job without any awareness or understanding.

This is true for white-collar and blue-collar occupations that have the right to speak on social media, not to mention the various jobs and types of work in factories. Add to that the fact that the workers come from all over the world and have a mix of accents, making it difficult to find the right Mandarin to describe a job. Almost starting from the master who led people to the apprentice who had just started to work in the industry, he knew little about the formal nouns of his job, and only knew a half-dialect and half-Mandarin description.

When it is necessary to introduce it to other laymen, it is usually not detailed enough to explain it in detail, but when you talk to your peers or fellow villagers, you can understand what this strange term refers to.

"It's a big roll of precursor that is placed on the machine and turned round and round on another cylinder. Luo Qiang roughly described it, thought about it and said: "The original precursor is easy to break, but after turning to another cylinder, it is not so easy to break." ”

"The double twisting factory, after the original polyester yarn is worked by the double twisting machine, it will become more firm, literally. Huang Lu suddenly understood, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Luo Qiang with some surprise, and said jokingly: "You don't even understand what the working machine is called, but you still understand the raw silk, and you have also noticed the problem of interruption." ”

Not only that, but even a few days after the last time, this person's Mandarin can already be described as coming in by leaps and bounds. Dialects and Mandarin are both particularly magical languages, and people who speak dialects can understand Mandarin after the accumulation of TV over time, but many people have never spoken it well. No matter how long you try to study seriously, those who say bad are not good. Huang Lu has been dealing with factories for many years, and many people he knows are like this, he has been in other places for many years, and most of his daily communication is in Mandarin, but he can't speak it well.

"Hey, hey. Suddenly complimented, Luo Qiang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "This job was introduced to me by my fellow countryman, and I didn't understand what he said, anyway, it won't hurt me, so I went." I went to that place, of course, I didn't want to ask what kind of job it was, anyway, I was in a daze. ”

"Someone with it?"

"Well, my fellow friend taught me. Luo Qiang's tone became low again, and he said, "But I'm too clumsy to do this kind of meticulous work." I'm very careful, but I still break the wire. ”

As soon as the wire is broken, the defective rate rises.

"Normal, it takes a long time to learn before twisting. Huang Lu comforted: "So although this work is tiring, it is usually more done by women." ”

"I'm just afraid that my wife will suffer, so I want to say that I will try it first. ”

Huang Lu: ...... Why is this man still fed dog food?

"Today is the 10th day and I really work hard every day and today should be better, but ...... The person who took me told me that if I continued to make mistakes, he would deduct my money. ”

When it comes to his failures, Luo Qiang is still very embarrassed.

Huang Lu glanced at the other party, not knowing if it was his own delusion, but always felt that when the other party said the last sentence, it seemed to bring a little crying.

Suddenly came to a completely unfamiliar environment, exposed to a huge workload and very tedious and unfamiliar work, not to mention not enough to eat at night, and had to pay attention throughout the whole process. Even if you take it seriously with all your might, you still don't have any salary, and you have to be deducted in the end.

Ten people had to break down.

"Actually, I don't blame him, their boss himself doesn't allow apprentices to go. That is, he worked the night shift and secretly brought me over. ”

"It's okay, it's not easy to be serious enough to be a day job, and it's really too much if you pay for it. Huang Lu glanced at the other party's expression, thought for a while and continued: "There's nothing wrong with finding a new one that suits you better, besides, aren't you making great progress now?"

"Huh?" Luo Qiang raised his head in surprise, with a blank look of disbelief: "What progress." ”

Huang Lu said seriously: "Your Mandarin has improved a lot. ”
