Chapter 008: Fun Facts on the Way

So, Tian Tian got on the back seat of his cousin's bicycle and went to Kengzi Town, sixteen miles away. Because there is a third industrial zone there, I heard that many of their fellow villagers are there, and there are all kinds of factories there, wig factories, hardware factories, electronics factories, zipper factories, handbag factories, garment factories......

However, I didn't expect that the teacher was unfavorable, and I hadn't gone far before the car burst a tire.

I had no choice but to push the cart away, and Tian Tian also got down to walk.

Trucks sped away from the two of them, and Tian Tian couldn't help but be terrified. As the car left, there was a cloud of dust flying behind him, so Tian Tian subconsciously held his breath and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

After walking a kilometer or two, I finally saw a bicycle repair department on the side of the road.

Tian Tianhe and his cousin were so happy that they couldn't help themselves as if they had seen a savior.

Seeing the two of them passing, the master raised his head, and the cousin asked, "Master, how much does it cost to repair the tire?" ”

As an insider, the man could see at a glance that the shriveled tire was broken, so he quickly removed the inner tube and poured water into the dirty basin in a circle.

However, after a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't make up for it! ”

"How much does it cost?" the cousin asked.

"Nine dollars. The man replied without raising his head. Perhaps, his cousin didn't bring money, he looked at Tian Tian with some hesitation, Tian Tian immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Change it, I brought money." ”

So, Tian Tian took the initiative to take out ten yuan and handed it to his cousin, and he found one yuan for her.

Finally repaired, Tian Tian sister and brother happily hit the road again.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally arrived in the industrial area.

Because it is working time, there are almost no migrant workers on the road, only the occasional pioneers who dig through the garbage and the trucks that come in and out.

Passing through the garbage cans, the stench is tangy, and mosquitoes and flies are flying.

However, after a long walk, I didn't see many job postings, even if there were, it was not suitable for Tian Tian, because people were looking for either men, fluent Cantonese, computer typing, trams, or someone to guarantee (merchandising clerks), etc., and even, some factories indicated that they did not recruit Henan and Sichuan nationals at the bottom of the "recruitment notice". It's inexplicable!

Whenever he saw paper pasted at the gate of the factory from a distance, Tian Tian ran over with great interest, but after a while, he always returned disappointed.

Seeing Tian Tian come back with a depressed face, my cousin couldn't help but comfort: "Looking for something to do, you can't be in a hurry, you have to take your time, besides, now is not the time, if it is after the Spring Festival, a lot of factories will be looking for workers." ”

Although they didn't find a job, the Tian Tian sisters and brothers were tired and thirsty.

Of course, it's good to have a bike, otherwise, walking that far would have been even more tiring.

Seeing that there was a store in front of him, Tian Tian bought two bottles of mineral water, each for one dollar. When I am thirsty, it is really refreshing to drink a few sips of icy water, like the parched soil meets the pouring rain, which can be described in four words, that is, "hearty".

Before they knew it, the sun was setting, and the siblings were exhausted.

The neon lights on the streets are flashing, and all kinds of vendors in the square have begun to set up their stalls, and I don't know when the streets are full of people.

Although Tian Tian did not successfully find a job and was a little disappointed, he still had to thank his cousin for his guidance and accompaniment.

It's long past dinner time, and my stomach is already rumbling.

So, the sister and brother approached a stall.

Tian Tian asked for a two-yuan vegetarian soup rice noodles, the weather was too hot, she just wanted to drink a little soup. Tian Tian asked his cousin for a five-yuan fried rice noodles with eggs and lean pork, and a bottle of beer and fried peanuts from the outsider.

Of course, in order to express his gratitude, Tian Tian deliberately took the initiative to help his cousin order, boy, the amount of food is a little bigger. In fact, this cousin is only one year younger than Tian Tian.

Before the food came up, the sisters and brothers discussed what to do.

Here, you can continue to look for a job tomorrow, but there is no place to live, because those female villagers are not allowed to take outsiders to stay in the factory;

So, my cousin suggested that Tian Tian live in a hostel, the kind where many people live and have a public toilet, which is said to be ten yuan a night.

Thinking about it so far, that's all there is to it.

After eating, Tian Tian paid thirteen yuan. The cousin pulled a piece of toilet paper on the table, wiped his mouth and stroked his stomach while walking out, and smiled very contentedly: "Oh, it's so full!" Tian Tian looked at each other and smiled.

Because it was still early, my cousin took Tian Tian for a walk around the street, and introduced Tian Tian from time to time like a tour guide.

At the entrance of a large shopping mall, there were many boys and girls about four to seven years old selling roses, and they kept selling their fresh roses to young people passing by.

Boyfriend and girlfriend walk together, if you don't buy it, the man will feel particularly faceless, and he is also worried that his girlfriend will be called "stingy". Perhaps, they see such a business opportunity.

What I didn't expect was that when Tian Tian's sisters and brothers passed by, they were also mistaken for a couple. They didn't buy it, but a little girl with a round face of four or five years old chased them all the way, and kept saying flattering words in her mouth: "Brother, you can buy one! You see this sister is so beautiful, you buy one to make her happy! Buy one, brother!"

However, the Tian Tian sisters and brothers still ignored and moved forward on their own.

However, I didn't expect the little girl with a sweet mouth to make an amazing move, only to see that she firmly hugged her cousin's legs and didn't let her go.

The little girl looked up and begged pitifully: "Brother, buy a flower!" Seeing this, the Tian Tian sister and brother smiled very awkwardly.

Tian Tian thought to herself: Forget it, let's buy it.

So, Tian Tian took out three yuan and handed it to the little girl. The little girl took the money, bowed to Tian Tian gratefully, and ran away in an instant.

Although women like bright roses, for Tian Tian, who has no fixed place to live and has not yet found a job, it seems a bit too luxurious to enjoy the fragrance of roses now.

Actually, Tian Tian purely looked at the girl pitifully.

Tian Tian was puzzled why such a young child was buying flowers there.

The cousin said that it was specially organized, and each child had to sell as many flowers as he wanted, and how much money he handed over to the boss, otherwise, he would be beaten up, so they had to sell the flowers by any means. Speaking of which, they are also to blame for the pitiful.

After listening to his cousin's story, Tian Tian was stunned.

Walking, walking, there was a loudspeaker in my ears that "three pieces for ten yuan, three pieces for ten yuan" sounded through the sky, and when I got closer, I was surrounded by a crowd.

Tian Tian curiously squeezed in to take a look, only to see that there were all kinds of daily necessities piled up on the ground, such as: gauze towels for TV covers, parka pens, paper towels, towels...... Someone is looking for what they need.

Tian Tian was not interested, so he turned around and left.

Under the guidance of my cousin, I came to a new hostel. When I inquired, there was really ten yuan a night, which was the kind of bunk beds and eight beds.

Anyway, it's just one night, and I'll just stay. After Tian Tian settled down in the house, his cousin rode back to the factory.

The proprietress told Tian Tian not to lock the door, because someone would come to live later.

After taking a bath and lying on the bed, Tian Tian felt very happy. Soon, she fell asleep.

"Ahh
