Through the pre-job training in the factory, Su Feng was assigned to a workshop to work, at the end of the day, her right arm was so sore that she could barely lift it, she didn't remember how many bottle caps she stacked today, she only felt that her right arm had hardly been put down today, and she couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed after washing, and she didn't know if the bed was too soft or her arm was too painful, she was thinking, or the kang at home slept comfortably, and she didn't know what time it was until she stared a little confused. After breakfast the next day, the workers arrived at the workshop one after another, Su Feng touched the arm that was still sore, and did not complain, but the speed was not as fast as yesterday, because the action was slow, the soda bottle that was drawn in the previous process was not pressed and the cap was worn away, the team leader came to check twice, and they all walked away with a frown, she was a little scared, the factory would fire her because she did not do well, no way, she could only grit her teeth and speed up, I don't know when there was a young man next to her, like a malnourished, thin and small, taller than Su Feng, but the eyes were very clear, The two big furry eyes gave people a cute feeling, Su Feng saw that the young man was helping him to code the bottle cap, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and then he lowered his head embarrassedly and whispered thank you.

The young man looked familiar, and said with a smile, "I said are you stupid, didn't you see that there are 2 people standing on each belt? The team leader came over to check for the third time, and just saw Su Feng standing there looking up, and immediately said sternly, "How many bottles of uncapped soda have been rowed over for a while, can you be careful and move quickly." Su Feng immediately blushed and responded, "Mmmm, I know, I know", the team leader was just about to leave, but turned around and turned to the young man, "Hou Xiaohua, what are you doing here?", Hou Xiaohua is not afraid of the team leader, "What else can I do here, work!", the team leader looked at this muddy boy angrily, "Don't waste your efforts here, go back to your workshop quickly after removing the bottle cap", "It's okay to go back, then you have to match my sister with another partner", "What kind of relatives are you here to recognize? Hurry up!" The team leader doesn't want to talk to him anymore," If you don't send one, then I can only help here, go back and trouble you to tell my uncle, I will be transferred to a workshop, so that he can't find me", the team leader suddenly felt a little tight in his throat, "Ahem, I know, you go back quickly, if the factory director knows that you are transferred to me, I can't give you the position of the team leader!", the big guy heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help laughing, Hou Xiaohua winked at Su Feng, who was stunned in place, "Sister, the team leader promised to send you a partner, I will come to see you tomorrow." , After speaking, he walked out of the workshop with a small gray hat and trouser pockets in his hands.

The girl who was assigned to be in the group with Su Feng was called Sun Zhen, and the cooperation between the two was really a lot easier, and there was a little more time to chat, Sun Zhen took advantage of the team leader's inattention, and secretly leaned into Su Feng's ear and said curiously, "Hey, what is the relationship between you and that little devil, I can hear him screaming one by one", Su Feng explained suspiciously, "I just met him, it doesn't matter", Sun Zhen smiled mysteriously, "Haha, I heard that the brother and sister-in-law of the factory director are surnamed Su, so ...... you" No, no, no, I don't know the factory director, let alone his relatives,", Sun Zhen continued to whisper, "It's okay, I won't say it if I know, don't worry!", after speaking, he stopped talking, and started working quickly, Su Feng felt a little ridiculous, all this was too coincidental, but this has nothing to do with her, then again, the people in the factory are too long-tongued, and the news of such a twist and turn has come out. I couldn't help but amuse myself when I thought of this......

After dinner, it was rare to be clean, most of the people in the factory had gone home, leaving only a few single comrades or temporary workers transferred from other towns, Su Feng sat under a big tree in the factory area to enjoy the shade, squinting at the sun that was about to set, and suddenly heard a voice in the distance, "Sister, what are you doing here, isn't it cold on the ground?" When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be the Hou Xiaohua during the day, and before Su Feng had time to thank him, he responded, "Rest here, it's not cold, it's hot from the sun during the day!" , Hou Xiaohua jumped over and sat next to Su Feng, but he didn't avoid suspicion, but made Su Feng a little embarrassed, Su Feng moved to the side slightly, and asked, "Why don't you go home?", "Where are you going back?" You know everything!", "Yes, I not only know that you are the nephew of the factory director, but I also know that your mother should also be surnamed Su" Su Feng teased him badly, but Hou Xiaohua was a little embarrassed "You are quite well-informed, are you?", Su Feng continued, "You won't help me because I am also surnamed Su, so I have the same surname as your mother", "No, no, there are many people with the surname Su, don't ask, I just can't get used to them bullying newcomers."

After a long time, she knew that Hou Xiaohua's life experience was not good, his family was originally a farmer, but his uncle happened to be the director of the soda factory, but Director Hou only had one daughter, in order to respond to the call to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, directly supported the northwest, there was a letter in the middle, saying that she was pregnant, and was going to marry a local farmer, Director Hou angrily replied that if she didn't take the child home, she would cut off the relationship with her, but after the letter passed, the daughter has not been heard from since, and there is no word to come, Director Hou and Mrs. are angry with their daughter's incompetence, and they are also worried about their daughter's safety, but there is no wayA few years later, Hou Xiaohua's father took him to visit the door, and when he heard the difficulties of his younger brother's family, he proposed to pass Hou Xiaohua to the Hou factory director's family, so that he could not only solve the livelihood problem of his brother's family, but also have someone to inherit the family lineage, and moreover, with a son, the position of the factory director may be able to sit for a longer time, even if it is not impossible to let his son take over in the future, the factory director's family weighed it and gladly accepted this "son" who is related to him by blood, and Hou Xiaohua, who has begun to be sensible, cannot refute the "two fathers" After finishing junior high school, Director Hou directly transferred Hou Xiaohua to the factory, and gave him a job, and every morning was responsible for transporting bottle caps and soda bottles to various workshops, and he could use it at will, but I don't know if it was Hou Xiaohua's rebellion or character, the bigger the more ignorant he was, because some people in the factory talked about his family's succession to "climbing high branches" The matter and the other party have been fake several times, warnings, punishments are not afraid, slowly everyone began to "communicate" with their eyes, but the private messages are even more ugly, and there are even rumors that Hou Xiaohua was originally the illegitimate son of Director Hou, but he was afraid of being punished, so he used this way to let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors...... In everyone's eyes, Hou Xiaohua is an outlier with an unjustified name, everyone despises him, but they also envy his "one step to the sky", that morning Hou Xiaohua sent materials as usual, and when he arrived at a workshop, he happened to see Su Feng who was in a hurry, the same thin body, stubborn eyes, let him seem to see himself who entered the city for the first time, Hou Xiaohua inquired and knew that he was a newcomer to the countryside and was being "conditioned" by the team leader, so he wanted to help Su Feng......

Su Feng didn't care about these rumors, more often she felt a little sorry for this stubborn child, he shouldn't have to bear such gossip at his age, so he usually helped Hou Xiaohua wash his clothes, bed sheets and quilts, and occasionally helped him sew the crotch of his worn pants, Hou Xiaohua naturally screamed one sister after another, and those who didn't know really thought that this was a pair of sisters and brothers. Su Feng didn't mind telling him about his home that no longer had his own place, and after the kind-hearted Hou Xiaohua knew Su Feng's situation, he would bring her some surprises from time to time, orange petal candy, indeed good cloth, peach crisp...... Every time he had dinner at his uncle's house, he would also use a lunch box to pack some for Su Feng, this year, Su Feng drank soda for the first time in his life, ate pork ribs for the first time, and put on plastic sandals for the first time...... Sometimes lying on the bed, Su Feng will secretly pinch herself, after grinning in pain, she can't help but cover her mouth and giggle, since her father left, she has the feeling of being with her family for the first time, although she can only have 5 yuan left every month, except for buying daily necessities, and occasionally helping Hou Xiaohua add a pair of socks or something, there is not much left, but that real sense of steadiness still makes her want to cry happily, she believes that as long as she is willing to endure hardships and work hard, life will definitely get better.

After 1 year of experience, Su Feng is already a mature female worker, that pair of fast and dexterous hands make the workers envious, this year, there is even the eldest sister in the next workshop to help others to protect the media, but she always politely declined, she just wants to work hard now and save money, so that she can have a sense of security, and it is too late for her to plan for the future.

As usual, Su Feng, who had breakfast and was about to go to work, was called to the office by Director Wang before he entered the workshop door, Su Feng thought that he had done something wrong, and he was nervous all the way, looking at Su Feng who was nervously standing in front of him, Director Wang did not ink, and immediately explained" Comrade Su Feng, it's not your own problem, this morning your township called, your brother-in-law said that your second sister-in-law broke her leg, you need to go back to see, let you pack up, there will be a car from the township commune to come to the factory, you can take a car, hurry back to the dormitory to pack your luggage", hearing this, Su Feng anxiously asked, "Director Wang, is my second sister-in-law serious?" "Then I don't know, your brother-in-law is also in a hurry over there, I want you to go back quickly", "Oh, then I know, I'll go clean up now" On the way back to the dormitory, she wanted to go to Hou Xiaohua's workshop to inform him, but time was tight, she couldn't delay, and she happened to meet his workshop colleagues on the way, so she had to come forward and ask, "Master Li, please tell Hou Xiaohua that I have an urgent matter at home and want to ask for a few days off", Master Li is not a good person, so he readily agreed and did not ask more.

Little did she know that this leave of absence would change her life......
