When she first started looking for a job, Fang Xiaoshi started to ask about large companies, but soon she found a fact that made her difficult to accept, the minimum conditions for recruiting workers in a certain standardized factory are junior high school diplomas or above, and the most terrible thing is to ask for a junior high school graduation certificate, and after Fang Xiaoshi was admitted to the listed high school, she didn't expect that the junior high school graduation certificate would be used one day, and she didn't go back to middle school to get this graduation certificate. But no matter how she told the recruiter that she was already in her third year of high school, no one was willing to deal with her, and she was eliminated directly. Only then did Fang Xiaoshi realize the feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Just because of the junior high school graduation certificate, after Fang Xiaoshi was repeatedly touched on the nose, she gritted her teeth and decided to give up these large-scale formal factories. She quickly found a small workshop, saying that it was a factory rather than a big house, an office outside, and a workshop production inside a layer of glass, with more than a dozen workers working skillfully.

"What about you? "The one who interviewed her was the owner of this small factory. She is a medium-tall, thin, average-looking woman in her thirties, and she is particularly shrewd and capable at first glance. She saw Fang Xiaoshi looking at the workers in the workshop in a daze, so she reminded her to speak. Fang Xiao came back to his senses and hurriedly said

"I have an ID card, so I'll give it to you. Fang Xiaoshi handed her ID card with both hands, she had been gone for a day, her feet were blistered, she hoped that this was the one that would end her search for a factory. Fang Xiaoshi has already made up his mind, first find a place to stay, and then discuss it in the long run. The female boss looked at the ID card, then raised her head and looked at her carefully. Fang Xiaoshi knew that she was verifying whether she was the same person as the person on her ID card, and when she went to the bank, she often did this, so she hurriedly stood up straight, and tried her best to maintain the expression on her ID card. The female boss was amused by her serious appearance.

"Fang Xiaoshi, what are you doing here?"

"Aren't you checking your ID?"

"I know that this ID card is you, I just feel that you look so young and so delicate, why don't you enter a regular big factory, and run to my small factory? "You said it earlier! wasting my expression, Fang Xiaoshu thought in his heart.

"Those companies asked for a junior high school diploma, but I didn't have one. The female boss said with a surprised expression on her face:

"Are you illiterate?" Fang Xiaoshi took out two pieces of paper from his bag and said with some embarrassment:

"I showed this to the people who had applied for me at the previous companies, but they didn't want to take a look. If you're not afraid of delay, just take a look!" the landlady took it. I opened it and looked at it a few times and said:

"These two schools are not bad, why don't you go to them?"

"The cost is too high, I can't afford to read!" Fang Xiaoshi said truthfully. The landlady nodded and said:

"Yes, both schools are all private schools, which are very expensive but have a high articulation rate. Fang Xiaoshi, it's a pity that you don't go. ”

"It's a pity, I've thought about it a long time ago. Boss, I'm showing you this mainly to tell you that I am not illiterate as a literate person, and I promise that I will do any job. Fang Xiaoshi recommended himself in surprise.

"I knew you were a smart girl as soon as I looked at your smart look. It's just that we are too wronged in our small factory. Fang Xiaoshi pointed to the dozen or so employees in the glass and said:

"Don't be aggrieved, don't you see that those people in your workshop are doing a good job?"

"They are all people with children and families, and the wages in our small factory are not high, but they don't have as many rules as in big factories, and they can leave at any time if they have something. Several of them have to pick up and drop off their children, and some of them have to leave work at 3 p.m. in kindergarten. They work with me, even if they earn a little extra money, their main energy is still on their families and children. If you want to take my small factory as your main business, it will delay you. ”

"Don't delay, boss, just let me stay! I've been looking for the factory for two days, and I don't want to look for it anymore. Fang Xiaoxiao said to the boss with a begging tone. The boss looked at her again, and finally nodded and said:

"Okay then! You can stay and do it until you find a company that suits you better, and then you can go!"

"Thank you boss, thank you boss!" Fang Xiaoshi said excitedly. The landlady looked at her with a smile and said:

"In the future, just call me Sister Wu, I'm not a boss, I just take some work from a big factory to support my family. ”

"Okay, Sister Wu. Sister Wu thought of it a little more and asked Fang Xiao:

"Where do you live now?"

"I am staying in the guesthouse now. ”

"You won't run away from home, will you!" Sister Wu asked worriedly.

"No, no, I don't want to burden my brother, I've already called him. Fang Xiaoshi had to lie.

"One thing I have to make clear to you is that you also see that I am such a small factory, and the factory building is also rented. I don't have a dormitory. You have to do it here. You're going to have to rent your own dormitory. ”

"Huh? Rent your own dormitory. Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help repeating this sentence. This is the biggest problem for Fang Xiaoshi, what she wants to find most at the moment is a place to stay, and the worst hotel she lives in now costs 100 yuan a day. Sister Wu thought for a moment and shouted to the workshop:

"Youfeng, come out for a while. "There was a girl in her twenties who was dressed very plainly, and she quickly put down her work and walked over.

"Sister Wu, you called me?"

"Youfeng, didn't you say last time that the house you rented was too big and one was vacant, and it is still empty?"

"yes! I'm sick of it. My salary is so little, the salary of the child's father is not high, the child is still expensive to go to kindergarten, and the rent is still so high, I have to consider changing to a small house. "Youfeng complained. Looking at Youfeng in front of him, Fang Xiaoshi was dumbfounded again, this girl looked about the same age as herself, why did the children go to kindergarten?

"If you have Feng, don't change it, you give it to this girl!" Youfeng turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoshi, and Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly introduced himself:

"Hello, my name is Fang Xiaoshi, it's a pleasure to meet you. Youfeng seemed to be frightened by her, took two steps back and stammered:

"I... My name is Fang Youfeng. ”

"Your surname is Fang, too! We're really connected. Fang Xiaoshi said happily.

"She's the house of the house. Youfeng can't read. is a native of Sichuan, got married at the age of fifteen, and lived a tight life in his hometown, so he went out to work with his husband, but the cultural level of their husband and wife is not high, even if they come out to work, it is not easy to live. Sister Wu said to Fang Xiaoshi. Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but look at Fang Youfeng again when he heard this. Sister Wu stood up, patted Fang Xiaoshi's shoulder and said:

"Fang Xiaoshi, if you are willing to come to work in my small factory, I will give you the highest time to work 17 yuan an hour, they all work more and get more. But there is a condition that you must learn every thing they do as soon as possible, and you can do that process, do you think you can?" Fang Xiaoshi looked at Sister Wu and said very firmly:

"Sister Wu, believe me, I will do it. ”

"That's fine, I'm still a little out in advance, you can talk to Fang Youfeng about the house!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wu. Sister Wu didn't say anything more, and went downstairs with her bag. Fang Xiaoshi turned around and asked Youfeng:

"How much does the house you rent a month cost?"

"Three thousand five, which is higher than my salary. Youfeng said with his mouth cocked.

"Then let's share a house, how much do you pay for my room?" Youfeng lowered his head and said embarrassedly:

"Look at it!" Fang Xiaoshi thought for a moment and said:

"Shall I give a thousand lines, then?"

"Okay," Fang Youfeng replied in a loud voice.

"You look about the same age as me, but you have children, I'll call you Sister Feng in the future!"

"Yes, you can. ”

"I want to ask, just now Sister Wu said to give me seventeen yuan an hour, how much money can I earn in a month? ”

"At least 4,000 yuan a month, I can only do 12 yuan an hour of hard work every day. A literate person is good, and the salary is high. Youfeng said with a sad face. Fang Xiaoshi smiled and comforted her, saying:

"Sister Wu said, you work here to facilitate the care of the children, although your salary is not high, but you can pick up the children freely! But I am different, you go with the children, I have to take over your work, do you say yes. Youfeng listened and nodded again and again and said:

"That's true, my baby is my life. For the sake of the baby, the salary should be low!" Youfeng was persuaded by Fang Xiaoshi, and soon the spirit came. She took Fang Xiaoshi's hand and said:

"Let's go, I'll show you the house. ”

"I don't want to see where I live, I want to move in. ”

"And where are your things?"

"In the Grand Hyatt. ”

"It was a coincidence that our house was right behind the Grand Hyatt. "Fang Xiaoshi has never been happier in Beijing than at this moment. She got on the phoenix's battery car and drove towards the hotel.

Youfeng's family rented an eighty-square-meter commercial house, with two bedrooms and one living room, which was very suitable for a family of three, but the daughter of Youfeng's family was only three years old and had not yet been divided, so one was vacant.

The house is very small, only a dozen square meters, there is a single bed, a writing desk, and a wardrobe, these things are just right for Fang Xiaoshi, and she is quite satisfied with her new house.

What made Fang Xiaocha even more satisfied was that she and Youfeng's family shared a kitchen and living room, and there was even an extra gas stove in the kitchen, and there was also a small round table in the living room. In this way, she can open her own small stove and save a lot of money on living expenses a month.

Looking at the renovated small room, Fang Xiaoshi lay on her back on the bed, she was in a happy mood now, she finally had her own free little world, no longer sent people under the fence, and no longer needed to look at other people's faces to live. She rolled over and got up, took out her phone from her bag, and when she started dialing, she realized what she was doing.
