Unconsciously, a few months have passed, Qi Xiyu has been working in that watch factory for a year, her salary has been raised twice, all of them are the team leader Ah Zhi helped, asking the boss to give her a little increase a month, she remembers very clearly, the first salary increase was three months later, and the second salary increase was last month. Because I've been working for just one year.

When she got the salary slip, the team leader Ah Zhi also asked her: "Xiyu, has your salary risen?" She immediately showed the salary slip to the team leader Ah Zhi, and after the team leader read it, she immediately said loudly that it had risen a little and that she could continue to work in the future, she immediately said yes, and then said loudly, thank you team leader.

The team leader, Ah Zhi, immediately said loudly that this was as it should be. You work hard. Qi Xiyu nodded and said okay. I didn't go to work on a Sunday, and after getting off work, Qi Xiyu called the team leader Ah Zhi and whispered: "Team leader, I'll invite you to a meal, thank you for helping me apply for a salary increase." ”

The team leader Ah Zhi immediately laughed, and then whispered: "No need, you can usually work hard, I have your heart, it's not easy to work outside here, and it is right to help each other." We're all outsiders, and we all have to send money home, and I know that. ”

After hearing this, Qi Xiyu was a little moved, and immediately whispered, "Thank you, team leader." The team leader, Ah Zhi, immediately whispered, okay, let's get off work. Qi Xiyu immediately said yes. After the two of them cleaned up, they lined up to clock out together. After getting off work, Qi Xiyu stood at the door waiting for her cousin.

After a while, my cousin and Wu Qianfan came out after punching cards, Qi Xiyu immediately called my cousin, and then the three of them went downstairs together and walked to their dormitory, and my cousin immediately said loudly: "Xiyu, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, go to my house for dinner." She said yes right away. My cousin immediately said loudly, then I'll go home first. After speaking, he walked out of the dormitory.

At this time, Wu Qianfan immediately said loudly: "Xiyu, let's go out to eat together." She said yes right away. The other colleagues in the dormitory also returned, and everyone greeted each other. They all went out to eat together.

Qi Xiyu and the others walked outside, came to the usual food stall, cooked the meal, paid the money immediately, and then sat down to eat together. Wu Qianfan asked while eating: "Xiyu, do you send money home every month?"

Qi Xiyu said while eating, I didn't send much money home in the first four months, and I will send 200 yuan or 300 yuan at most home, what about you? After Wu Qianfan heard this, his face was a little red, and he immediately said loudly: "It's still your filial piety, I'm not like you." I send money home once every three months. Send 500 yuan or 600 yuan at a time, our salary is not very much, and we have to keep some of ourselves, when we first came, how embarrassed we were, but fortunately your second cousin lent us money. I don't have any money out there, and I'm really having a hard time. So no matter how hard and tiring the work is, we must persevere. You are the quality inspection department, it is the hourly wage, unlike our piecework wages, you must be fast, and you can't make mistakes. ”

After Qi Xiyu heard this, he immediately said yes loudly, and then said: "Qianfan, if this watch factory has the goods to do it, let's insist on doing it for two years." Then you can look for another job. I think I use my parents' money, and now that I'm out to work, I have to send a little bit back every month if I have money, so that they can feel at ease. Because I am the eldest in the family, although I am short, I still have responsibilities. ”

Wu Qianfan said yes while eating, and then said: "We have a junior high school education, and we don't have any technical expertise, so it's almost the same everywhere." It's just that the environment is different. Qi Xiyu immediately said yes.

After the two of them were full, they slowly returned to the dormitory, and other colleagues also came back, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and began to line up to wash, after washing, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no need to go to work tomorrow, so you could go to bed later. Qi Xiyu and the others also fell asleep slowly.

At half past eight the next morning, Qi Xiyu got up, and after brushing her teeth and washing her face, she immediately called Wu Qianfan, and she also got up quickly. Walking on the road, looking at it while walking, Qi Xiyu immediately said loudly: "Qianfan, let's buy some vegetables and go to my cousin's house." Wu Qianfan immediately said yes.

The two of them walked to a vegetable market near their cousin's house, immediately walked in, bought three kinds of vegetables, as well as a pound of pork, and a carp of more than three pounds, asked the price, the boss said in the local dialect, the two of them paid the money together, and then walked towards the cousin's house together.

Came to the door of her cousin's house, Qi Xiyu immediately knocked on the door, after a while, my cousin came to see the door, they immediately called my cousin, and then went in together, the others hadn't gotten up yet, my cousin told them to go to her room to rest first, they immediately said okay, my cousin looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, and my cousin immediately said loudly: "Let's go cook together, and ask Auntie to eat together." ”

They immediately said okay, the cousin cooked the rice first, the two of them helped wash the vegetables, the cousin cut the vegetables, it was already eleven o'clock after the busy, at this time the aunt also got up, Qi Xiyu and they immediately called Auntie, asked her to eat together, and the aunt immediately said yes.

In this way, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, my cousin fried four dishes, two vegetables, a sauerkraut fish, and a green bean fried pork, and everyone sat down to eat together. The aunt asked while eating, "Do you have a holiday today?" The cousin immediately said yes, and then said, let's finish eating, let's go buy clothes, we haven't bought clothes for two years. Qi Xiyu and the others immediately said okay.

Auntie asked while eating, have you been working here for a year, how much money do you send home? My cousin immediately said, basically once every two months, 500 yuan each time, Qi Xiyu also said, I have been sending money home for eight months, about 1,600 yuan. Wu Qianfan also said that he sent it home three times, a total of 1,200 yuan.

After listening to this, the aunt immediately said loudly: "You are all obedient children, but you must also be willing to eat and wear, and you can work in a healthy body and earn more money in the future, you are all young and can't be sick, so your family is very uncomfortable, and you yourself are also uncomfortable." But don't eat indiscriminately, especially snacks, biscuits, ham sausages, instant noodles and the like. You didn't have any money when you first came, so it's understandable to eat a little of these things. Now that you've been at work for so long, don't eat any more. Because eating these things is not good for the body at all. You must remember. ”

My cousin and they immediately said loudly, we know it, Auntie, we won't eat indiscriminately. Auntie immediately said yes.

After everyone was full, there was still a bowl of vegetables left, and I helped clean it up, and my cousin washed the dishes. After washing, sitting there and resting for a while, my cousin immediately said in a loud voice, "Let's go, go shopping, buy a cheap dress to wear." "Everyone said yes right away.

After closing the door, everyone went downstairs together, walking down the street, and as they walked, the aunt immediately said loudly, "I'll take you there, I know there's a wholesale market, and the clothes there should be cheaper, it depends on whether you like it or not?"

After walking for a while, they came to the pedestrian street, the aunt took them upstairs, to the fourth floor, the door was pasted with the xx wholesale market, they immediately went in, while walking and looking, there were a lot of clothes, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's, the elderly, all kinds of styles of clothes, every store had fluorescent lights, the boss sat there and guarded, saw that there were guests, immediately greeted warmly.

The cousins looked at them carefully, and the aunt said as she walked, "I also came here to buy clothes, so it's cheap." Look for it. "Cousin, they said yes right away. After a while, they came to the women's clothing area and immediately walked into a store, the female boss greeted her warmly in Mandarin, and the cousin looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and then chose a dress and asked the proprietress to take it off. The proprietress immediately said yes, and after taking it off, let the cousin try it on immediately.

My cousin immediately wore it, it just fitted, it was a set of short-sleeved cotton purple T-shirts, and my cousin immediately asked them, "Do I look good in it?" The cousin immediately asked the price, and the proprietress said, then bargained, and finally bought the T-shirt for thirty yuan.

Seeing that my cousin bought it, my aunt and Wu Qianfan also chose a set, all of which were T-shirts, blue and gray, and the price was the same, thirty yuan a set, and after they bought it, my cousin immediately asked: "Xiyu, you can also buy a set, you have never bought clothes." "Auntie, they said yes right away.

Qi Xiyu hesitated, and immediately said loudly: "Cousin, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it." The proprietress next to her immediately said loudly, it's okay, you can try it first. I'll give you the small size, Qi Xiyu immediately nodded and said okay. Choosing a green T-shirt, she immediately tried it on, and it was just right. Qi Xiyu was still very happy, and immediately asked the price, and the proprietress immediately said loudly, you are all together, both for thirty yuan.

Qi Xiyu immediately said yes, took out her wallet, and then paid the money, the proprietress packed it all for them, they immediately said thank you, and then walked out of the store together, and the proprietress immediately said loudly: "You go slowly, welcome to come again next time." "Cousin, they said yes right away. Then they went downstairs together, and when they walked to the street, my aunt immediately said loudly, "Xiyu, don't always think about sending money home, reluctant to eat and wear, and when the time comes, you will be dressed very shabby and go back, and people will think that you have not found a job here."

My cousin also immediately said yes, we can buy less, but as long as we don't go to work, we still dress clean and beautiful, so that people look comfortable. We're all for your good. Qi Xiyu immediately said thank you, I know. My cousin immediately said, "Let's go take pictures later."
