After leaving home, I went directly to my aunt's house, when I entered the door, my aunt's family of three were there, my aunt had no formal job at that time, every day was playing mahjong or something, my sister was a freshman student, and she came home from vacation this week, so my sister-in-law also took advantage of the factory to take a break and rushed home from Beijing to see my sister.

My old uncle is a big bald head, very dull, usually very don't like to talk, I heard other uncles and aunts chat, my old uncle was a gangster when he was young, and he also mixed with Hong Xian Qing, and now the house where my old aunt lives is Hong Xian Qing bought my uncle.

Hong Xian Qing is a legend in Anyang City, he was a security guard in his early years, and later started as a gangster, relying on iron ore to make a fortune, and then was later investigated by the central inspection team, because of illegal mining, as well as the dam of the tailings pond in the mining area, because it directly threatened the safety of the urban area of Anyang, and the fine alone was 400 million.

After making enough money, Hong Xian Qing moved his family to Dalian, and now he rarely returns to Anyang, a few years later, I have more contact, and some people have told me that Hong Xian Qing is not mixed up, because he offended a very powerful person, so he can't get mixed up, but I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't comment on it, because Hong Xian Qing has nothing to do with this story.

But one thing is for sure, no matter whether my old uncle has ever been mixed with Hong Xian Qing or not, he definitely failed to make it to Hong Xian Qing's career, so he didn't get mixed up, and later he took over the family shift and went to work as a worker in the printing factory, drowning in the tide of layoffs a few years later.

I said hello to my aunt's family, there was no common language, I can't remember the events of that afternoon, I only remember in a daze, I boarded the train with my uncle that night, after more than 10 hours of travel, I got off at Beijing West Railway Station.

The moment I got off at Beijing West Railway Station, all my novelties disappeared, Lei Lei once said, I am a person who is not aggressive, I flatly deny it, but at that moment at Beijing West Railway Station, I was really confused, this is the first time I traveled away from home, went to a completely unfamiliar place, all I came into contact with are unfamiliar scenery and people, I don't like Beijing, because all the people I saw in the train station, their eyes, as if they were dazed and indifferent, I don't know our feelings with each other, is it the same full of apprehension about this strange city。

"Follow me, don't get separated!" my uncle turned to me and said a word, I pecked rice, and then followed him closely.

We took the bus back to the factory, tossed and turned three times, I wanted to sit quietly on the bus, enjoy the bustling scenery of Beijing, but really got on the bus I found that the bus in Beijing is not the same as the bus in Ayang, I have only taken the bus in Ayang a few times, but there is always a vacant place, and the bus in Beijing is like a tin can full of people, everyone is sweating, I am crowded in the crowd, I have never seen the street scene outside.

After a bumpy road, I finally arrived at the factory where I worked, this factory is located in Liangjiadian, Haidian District, when I arrived in front of the factory, I suddenly felt tasteless, because this is very different from my impression of Beijing, I thought that Beijing would be like what I saw on TV, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, but I didn't expect that I was just a large area of low factory here, the highest building is only eleven or twelve floors, all kinds of printing houses, Except for the road, which is several times wider than my home, the rest are no different from the industrial park in Anyang, which I later learned was an industrial park in Beijing......

The factory where my uncle works is one of the parks in this park, after taking me for a while, he took me into the yard of a factory, which is very good, and the old uncle introduced me while taking me away: "There is a printing workshop, that is a finished product workshop, and that bungalow is a canteen, and I will eat there in the future, it is free!" This building is a dormitory building, we live on the second floor, the room at the top of the stairs is a small shop, you can buy anything there!"

"Oh, I see!" I nodded, remembering what my uncle had told me.

After going upstairs, my uncle took me to a dormitory, I followed in to take a look, there are a total of eight bunk beds, that is to say, in this room, except for the bed, there is not much space left, there are 16 people, after the old uncle took me into the room, there were three or four people sitting inside, one of them smiled after seeing my uncle: "Master Sun, who is this child?"

"My wife and nephew, I'm here to work, Han Fei, this is Brother Zhang! It's the captain of the No. 3 printing press!"

"Hello, Brother Zhang!" I nodded slightly and greeted Brother Zhang.

"Well, hello!" Brother Zhang is in his thirties, with gold-rimmed eyes, he looks polite and easy to get along with.

"Old Sun, this is the wife and nephew you said, the young man is quite handsome!" At this time, a fat man in his forties next to him also smiled and handed me a cigarette.

"This is Uncle Liu, the driver of the factory!" my uncle introduced again, but whether the driver's surname was Liu or not, I am very vague now.

"Uncle Liu, I don't smoke!" I smiled and said hello to Lao Liu.

"The young man doesn't smoke, is he still called a man, you have to learn to smoke when you work here, otherwise you won't be able to stay up at all during the night shift!" Lao Liu smiled obscenely and patted me on the shoulder: "When my uncle gets paid, I'll take you to Lan Dai to pick up girls!"

"What's Lan Dai?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Nightclub, on Banjing Road, Lao Liu, who is not serious, likes to go there to play!" Brother Zhang interjected with a smile: "Little young, don't mix with Lao Liu, you have learned badly!"

Lao Liu grinned: "Even if you don't stay with me, sooner or later you will be blackened by this society!"

After the old uncle introduced a few people to me, he pointed to a lower bunk inside: "I've been in the car for a night, I'm tired, you sleep there first, I'll go to work, and when the factory director comes back in the evening, I'll take you to meet!"

"Oh, got it!" I obediently put my luggage aside, and sat on the bed, in addition to the mattress on the bed, there was also a summer cool quilt that could not be seen in its original color, pitch black, this is not an exaggeration, the quilt is really pure black, it is full of oil sludge, fortunately there is no bad smell, I was really tired after a night of driving, and even if I was awake, I didn't know how to deal with strangers, so I simply lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

I was woken up by the heat, the weather was in the middle of summer, I didn't even cover the quilt, but when I woke up, my body was already soaked with sweat, I opened my eyes and looked, the sun outside the window was about to set, a person came back on the bed next to me, he was about twenty-three or four years old, was changing clothes, when he took off his clothes, a big tattoo was revealed on his back, it was a big python, he heard the voice and looked at me: "Who is this child?"

"Lao Sun's wife and nephew, come to work!" Lao Liu saw that I woke up and smiled: "Wait a minute, your uncle should get off work in a while!"

"Hmm!" I nodded and sat up, looking at the strange thing in front of me, completely unaware of what I was supposed to do.

"Hey, what were you doing in your hometown before?" the tattooed young man changed his clothes and sat down on the bed and asked me.

"It's nothing, homeschooling, and then I don't study anymore, just stay at home!" Seeing the big tattoo on his back, I was really embarrassed to tell him that I had also been in society for two days.

"Oh, you came out to work at such a young age, can you do it?"

"Yes!" I nodded, chatting with him without thinking, it was completely perfunctory.

"Hehe!" the young man also saw that I was not sociable, so he went about his own business.

Soon it was half past five, and Brother Zhang reluctantly got up from the bed and put on a blue half-sleeve with the name of the factory printed on it: "Hey, fuck, I just can't help but mix it up every day, go to and from work, eat, drink and Lazar, it's really boring!"

"Be content, you still say that your monthly salary is six or seven thousand, and we of us more than three thousand still have to die!" Lao Liu teased Brother Zhang, and then turned his head to look at me: "Let's go, let's eat!"

"Oh!" I stood up with a confused face, followed Lao Liu, and went downstairs with them.

When I arrived at the canteen, I was about to collapse, because there were at least fifty or sixty people in this factory, and it was very crowded to sit in the canteen, and I looked around, and there was no one I knew, and after Lao Liu took me to the canteen, he didn't care about me, I stood in place at a loss, and I couldn't even cook, which seemed very embarrassing.

After five minutes, when the first people had finished eating, I saw my old uncle come out of the workshop, and he glanced at me standing there: "Why didn't you go to eat?"

"Hmm...... I'm not hungry yet!" I laughed, my hand clutching the corner of my shirt.

As if he saw through my embarrassment, the old uncle took me into the cafeteria, taught me how to take the bowl, how to cook, and after the meal was ready, he took me to a table and sat down: "This place is not as good as home, work in this place, you have to grab the meal, go late, there will be nothing!"

"Well, I see!" I felt awkward all afternoon, but the food in this cafeteria was delicious, and there was soup after the meal.

After eating, my uncle took me to an office on the second floor of the factory and met the director of the printing house, which was a family-owned company with a single surname.

"This is Director Zhang of our factory! It's okay to call Aunt Zhang!" My old uncle introduced me to the director, who was a very kind woman in her forties.

"Aunt Zhang!" I squeezed out a smile and greeted the director.

"I've heard everything about your situation, I just graduated from high school, right?" Director Zhang looked at me and asked.

"Hmm!" I nodded, in reply.

"Lao Sun is an old man in the factory, since he introduced you, just do a good job, see which machine you are interested in, just go to be an apprentice or something, before that, just help with chores, 700 yuan a month, can you do it?"

"Competent! Thank you, Aunt Zhang!" I nodded earnestly, this was my first job in life.

A few minutes later, I also received a blue half-sleeved overalls, and then I was led to the workshop by a fat-headed, big-eared man who was the workshop director.

"Hey, Fat Feng, who is this kid?" After seeing me, someone asked Director Feng.

"Oh, Lao Sun's relatives in his hometown, the new handyman!" Feng Fatzi glanced at me, his eyes full of contempt.
