Chapter 177: Xiyu goes to work outside
Qi Xiyu immediately said that although she was very short and only graduated from junior high school, she still hoped that she could go and see the outside world and have more knowledge.
My cousin is also a new Chinese, that is, the cousin of the little brother's family, my mother's relative, my cousin has been working outside for more than two years, she came this time, her mother told her, and her cousin asked her to work outside.
After eating at home, she packed her clothes, put on a backpack, and said goodbye to her parents, who asked her to write a letter back, and if she couldn't do it, she would come back, and she agreed.
I came to my cousin's house and stayed with her for one night, and my cousin gave birth to a son who was more than a year old and took it with her mother, who had been working outside for two years.
After getting married, I gave birth to a son, and I took it at home for more than a year, and after the child was weaned, I thought about going out again.
My cousin is six years older than her, with a normal height and a stronger person, and my cousin's husband works outside and has to raise children and has to go out to work.
Although the cost of raising children in rural areas is less than that in cities, it costs a lot of money to build a new house and marry a wife. The grain grown by rural people is basically not sold for much money.
At that time, it was still very risky to contract other people's land to plant.
The next morning, after breakfast, my cousin and Qi Xiyu said goodbye to their families, got into the car, reversed the car several times, and finally arrived at the Xdu Railway Station after a few hours.
At the XX Railway Station, I used my ID card to buy a ticket to the XX Railway Station, and for the first time I walked so far, my parents gave Qi Xiyu a few hundred yuan for the journey. told her not to fall off, and to follow her cousin closely.
After the reform and opening up, a large number of migrant workers from all over the country in the east of the country arrived, and various factories gathered there.
My cousin took her there to look for a job, because she only graduated from junior high school and had no work experience.
People are short, so they can only go over there to try and see if the salary will be higher? At the xx train station, my cousin and Qi Xiyu, and a girl as old as her, are from my cousin's village, and she also graduated from junior high school.
The girl was taller than her, about 1.55 meters, and it was the first time she went out to work, and she got on the train, which happened to be the peak period of Yingyuan, and the train was crowded with people, and the aisles were full of people.
There is food on the train, but they don't dare to eat, afraid of going to the toilet, because it is crowded with people, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, they buy a station ticket, so they buy a small bench to take with them, and after getting on the train, they take it out and sit on it.
After Qi Xiyu sat for a day, she felt a little motion sickness, so she took out the motion sickness medicine and ate it, and after a while, she felt better, and her cousin and the girl named Wu Qianfan also had a little motion sickness.
Later, they ate too, and the people on the train went to the toilet at night, and they had to be careful not to step on others, because they all slept next to each other, so it was better not to walk back and forth.
On the third day of the train, they were really hungry and couldn't stand it, so they each bought a chicken leg to eat, but the chicken leg didn't seem to be cooked, and the meat was red and bloodshot, I don't know how cooked it was, anyway, it tasted a little fishy.
A few people couldn't finish half of the meal, so they put it in their pockets until the train arrived at the station, and several people's feet were already swollen and numb for a long time, and they rubbed their hands several times before slowly getting off the train with the flow of people.
The two girls followed behind their cousin, for fear of getting lost, they were not familiar with the place, and they couldn't understand what they said, it was all xx words, they walked out of the gate of the train station and looked at the lively flow of people outside.
The cousin shouted at them to follow her, and later met an eldest sister on duty wearing red sleeves, and came over immediately.
Stopping the three of them, he might have seen that they were outsiders, and immediately said in non-standard Mandarin: "Stop, the three of you are fined 30 yuan, and you spit just now." ”
The cousin reasoned with her in non-standard Mandarin, and the eldest sister didn't let them go, educated them, and said that this is a big city, pay attention to environmental sanitation and safety, and be very strict.
The two girls used non-standard Mandarin to say good things to the eldest sister on duty, but they still couldn't do it, and they had to be fined.
After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, seeing the crowd slowly surrounding, my cousin was afraid that she would be taken to the police station for questioning later.
I had to ask each of them to take out thirty yuan and give it to the eldest sister before letting them go. Looking at the big square of the train station, there is so much flow of people every day, and so many people walking back and forth, can she manage it?
After the three of them walked forward, they turned around and looked at how this eldest sister on duty asked others to abide by the law, only to see that she saw someone spitting, and immediately ran up and said that if someone else pays money, she will only release someone if she gives it.
I saw that it was a middle-aged man who stopped this time, people ignored her, ran away quickly, she changed her target again, and continued to supervise the passers-by.
It is not until others pay the money that they are released, which should be called by the local government, because in order to create a civilized city, people's bad habits must be changed.
The three of them watched for a while before turning around and leaving, and my cousin said as she walked, "You should be careful when you come out to work, you are not as free as at home."
This is a big city, and there are many rules, so be careful not to spit on the ground and throw garbage. ”
The two girls nodded and said that they knew, and they would change it in the future, and each of them spent thirty yuan today to buy a lesson.
The three of them hurried to the bus station, because they still had to take the car to XX, and when they waited for the bus to XX, the three of them hurriedly got on the bus, bought tickets, and carefully found a seat to sit down.
After a few days of riding in the car, dizzy, hoping to arrive soon, I dozed off in the car, and waited until the driver told them all to get out of the car, and they woke up, and my cousin quickly told them to get out of the car, and they immediately said yes.
After getting off the bus, it has not yet arrived, and it is necessary to take a section of the bus to arrive, and only after the bus XX5 comes, the three of them get on the bus. After getting on the bus, I took out the change and put it in the coin box, and just got on the bus and put one.
The driver will ask you where you are going, and then say how many dollars you want to put in it, and after you finish casting, there are many people in the car, so you have to stand, and you have not rested well in the car for a few days, and now you really want to sleep.
After an hour, they finally arrived at the bus stop at the address my cousin said, and my cousin told them to get off the bus quickly. They said yes right away.
After getting out of the car, they finally didn't have to take the car anymore, and the three of them put their minds at ease, took out a small bench on the side of the road and sat for a while, rested, and then got up and walked.
It was already evening, and my cousin took them to the place where her relatives had rented a house, and walked a few streets into the alleys of the old house, and came to a six-story building, and went up the stairs.
When I got to the fourth floor, my cousin knocked on the door, the door opened, and my cousin's relatives and aunts saw that it was her and hurriedly greeted them and asked them to come in quickly.
When I asked them if they had eaten, my cousin quickly said no, and my aunt hurriedly turned on the gas, cooked a bowl of noodles for each of them, and told them to eat quickly.
The three of them hurriedly said thank you, and the relatives would still help each other. The three of them were hungry and hurriedly took chopsticks and ate them.
When they were full, the aunt cleaned up the dishes and washed them, and then sat down to talk to them and asked them what kind of work they were going to look for.
The cousin immediately said, "Auntie, you help watch, there is a job to recruit, we will go." ”
The aunt immediately said yes and told them to go to rest and sleep first, and they said yes. This is a four-bedroom living room, shared by three families, all of whom know xx fellows.
The landlord of this house is a local, and it is rented exclusively to these migrant workers. xx's economy, in fact, many outsiders have come to help a lot. Rent their house and produce things.
There are also houses to live in, let them collect rent, and all kinds of other construction, most of the outsiders only earn a little salary, and only a few people do business here to make a lot of money.
People's luck and courage are very important, and they also come out to earn money, some find a lot of money, and some still work, it may be fate.
The three of them went back to the room to sleep, and when the cousin saw that there was no one to rent one room left, she immediately called the aunt and the landlord and said that she wanted to rent it for 300 yuan a month.
The aunt immediately said yes, went back to the room and put down the luggage she brought, and the three of them went to take a shower and wash their clothes before going to bed.
After sleeping until the afternoon of the next day, the three of them woke up and saw their watches, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and they were so sleepy that they couldn't get up from sleep.
The three of them slept side by side in a bed, and it was already nice to have a bed to sleep in, and it was difficult to get up, get dressed and get out of bed, and comb their hair.
My cousin opened the door and walked out, my aunt had already come back from work, she was cleaning in a factory, and she would come back every day to cook and eat.
When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly called them to eat, brought three dishes to a small square table, and let them eat quickly.
Auntie is really nice, she cooked a lot of meals, knowing that they didn't eat, and when she went out to work, everyone would have it, and those who could help must help, not to mention their relatives.
The two girls are a little grateful, after all, the aunt is the cousin's relative, and the two of them are stained with the light of the cousin, so good, the two girls will always remember that when they earn money in the future, they will buy something for the aunt and cousin.
After all, my cousin is just a part-time worker, and when she brings them out, she has to be responsible for the safety of the two people, at least not to be taken away by bad people, which is very important.
While they were eating, the aunt said next to them that there was a factory to recruit, but they had to pay a referral fee of 300 yuan before they could enter. In order for them to have a job, the aunt agreed to the request of others.
At that time, many of the xx factories would ask for an introduction fee, no matter what the position, the purpose was not to let you resign easily.
Because this factory only came in after spending money, no matter what, I must work hard to be worthy of the money spent.
After the aunt told them, the cousin asked them, and they had to nod and agree, because they had just gone out, and they didn't know the depth, and they were afraid that they wouldn't get paid after they worked, so they would be in trouble.
The aunt said that the factory's wages will be paid on time every month, and there will be no arrears, and she will go out to work to earn money, just to get a salary.
