Jiang Tao entered the factory in 1982.

At that time, people attached far less importance to entering state-owned enterprises or collective enterprises than they do now, because many of the state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises at that time were mixed, so there was basically no difference between them. Finding a job is also not very stressful.

The state-owned enterprise that Jiang Tao entered is very large, there are many workshops, and the name is also strange, like a soil uncoiling workshop, a recycling workshop, a refining workshop, and so on. He was a newcomer, and he didn't understand what it meant.

He is of medium stature and appearance, basically belonging to the type that is inconspicuous and dewy. And the work is also average, not much aggressive. Because he feels that he has no higher education, at most he can be a worker and technician, and basically there is no room for improvement.

Once, he went to the factory building to do an errand, and he went to the personnel department, and he couldn't remember what he was doing. I only remember that on the ground in front of the window of the personnel department, there is a large flower pot, which is the kind of old-fashioned ceramic, and there are prominent moire and paper patterns on the surface, which is very simple. In the pot was a tree that grew half a room high, and the leaves were oval, fat, and shiny. Stretching out the branches and leaves, thick branches and large vines, it is very imposing.

Jiang Tao fell in love with this plant at a glance, and thought to himself, when he has a house in the future, he must also plant such a tree in the room, so that the canopy reaches the ceiling and creates a primitive atmosphere. Moreover, put a wicker chair under the tree, sit on it, drink tea and read a book, or sit quietly and meditate, so that time flows quietly. That's what life is all about.

Later, he learned that he was really lonely, and that was an ordinary rubber tree.

The idea of planting a tree in the room was not a whim, as it had appeared countless times in his dreams.

He often dreams about strange things. For example, he often dreams of a place called the Messier Nebula. He didn't know what he had to do with this strange name. Also, there was no internet at that time, and it was not convenient to check out. It wasn't until a few years later that the truth came out. Only then did he know what the strange and unreasonable phenomena that happened to him were the cause.

When he went downstairs after finishing his work in the personnel department, he remembered that there was an exit on the east side of the building, and from there, he could return to the workshop by a very short distance.

So, he walked down the corridor towards the east. The corridor was quiet, with doors on both sides, and the evening sunlight filtered in through the windows on the door, forming patches of light on the floor of the corridor. He stepped on these spots of light and went straight to the end of the hallway, not meeting anyone. Probably because it's almost time to get off work, most of the people in the office have already slipped away. I didn't slip away, but I'm getting ready to slip away.

At the end of the corridor was a door, unclosed, with a half-white curtain hanging. He was a little puzzled, feeling that this was a bit like an exit. But it was just a flash of thought, and he didn't think much about it, so he went in with the curtain.

In front of me were rows of lockers, and the room was filled with water vapor and mist. There was a woman with wet hair who was putting a red sweater on her head. She was wearing a pair of woolen pants, and her upper body was just a bra and a hood, naked and exposed with a white flowery body.

Damn!, he reacted. I actually entered the women's bath!

He was out of his body.

This is obviously an exit from the factory building, when did it change to a women's bath?

Yes, there used to be a room here, but it had been so idle that it had been forgotten and only part of the corridor that stretched forward. Suddenly, it was a women's bath, and there was no sign in front of the door. Who the hell is to blame for this wrong way?

And behind the woman was the pool of water, the mist was clear, and the area of the pool water made him feel extremely shocked, the mist was steaming, and there was no end in sight. It looks like it's a bath, it's a vast natural lake. However, at this time, he was already so frightened that he dared to take a closer look, turned around and fled......

But afterwards, he thought it was very strange, how could there be such a women's bath? Because ordinary women's bathhouses do not have baths. Moreover, the size of that room can't fit such a large lake-like bath. Could it be that I was too nervous and hallucinated?

However, he didn't dare to mention this matter to anyone, because he was not caught red-handed, and he didn't say that he was pretending to be confused and had to be cheap and obedient, which was already a blessing.

Coincidentally, history is always strikingly similar. Soon after, something like this happened again.

The reason for this time is that because Director Li and Secretary Jin of the workshop went to visit their homes, at this time, the factory should organize the branch secretary to hold an experience exchange meeting in the third workshop. Yao Zheng, deputy director of production, told him: "Xiao Jiang, you go and hold this meeting for Secretary Jin, what is the spirit of the instructions of the factory party committee, you can write it down first, and then relay it to the secretary." ”

Holding a meeting for the secretary? This is a job that shows its face. However, he felt that he was not up to the task, because he was just an ordinary employee, how could he take on such a big responsibility?

He said reluctantly, "Director Yao, is it appropriate for me to go?"

"It's fine. If the leader asks, you will say that I am organizing emergency repairs, and I can't get away. ”

Jiang Tao couldn't find a better excuse for a while, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

He had been to the office building of the third workshop, but he didn't pay attention to where the conference room was. So, as soon as he entered the building, he turned left, because he knew that there was a rest room for the mechanic class on the left, and he wanted to go in first to inquire.

The door was wide open, and there was also a half-white curtain. He still wondered, in the past, there was no curtain here, why is it still classy?

However, he didn't think much about it, and went in as soon as he lifted the curtain.

Hey, the layout of this room has changed, and there is a wooden screen in front of the door. In the whole room, there was still a foggy and fairy aura.

He's so weird. He bypassed the screen and peeked inside.

If you don't look at it, you can do it, but this look will make him stunned, and his soul will fly out of the sky.

It turned out that on the other side of the screen in front of the door was a dressing mirror. At this moment, in front of the dressing mirror, there is a long-haired woman standing naked, naked, and naked, holding a wooden comb in her hand, and is concentrating on combing her hair.

But he was frightened and involuntarily let out an "ah". The heart said, this state-owned enterprise is really distinctive, any room, saying that if you change the bathhouse, you will change the bathhouse, it's too casual, right? Moreover, the most annoying thing is that there is no sign at all.

If you come prepared, then it's okay to say, because it's a peeping and voyeurism, at least you can feast your eyes. But right now, without mental preparation, I can only call it frightened. Caught off guard, how can you have the heart to see what the other party looks like? Fortunately, I am young, if I am a little older, I will not be scared of a heart attack? Can it be counted as a work injury?

He was panicking, the six gods had no master, but the other party comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Uh, why is this woman so bright that she doesn't care at all?

Oh no, no, this ...... What kind of woman is there? A man's voice, hey, this whole old man. It's just that he has long hair.

It's just that this man's figure is very thin, especially this long hair like a waterfall, and his cold eyes look like a woman from behind.

Since it is a men's bathhouse, Jiang Tao is not afraid. He glanced twice, and saw that in the bath behind him, the mist was so thick that he couldn't see anything clearly. However, in the mist, some tall figures loomed, and the thickness of their bodies far exceeded that of ordinary humans. This made Jiang Tao really a little surprised, and he was puzzled, could it be that there was still a group of gorillas bathing here?

But he didn't have time to take care of a lot, and he had to go to a meeting for the secretary, and he was about to be late.

……

In fact, there are many strange things in the unit, such as picking up scrap steel. In order to save energy and reduce consumption, repair the old and reuse the waste, and carry forward the glorious tradition of the working class of thrift and thrift, the general factory must issue the task index of picking up scrap steel to each workshop every year, and the quality of the completed task is linked to the year-end evaluation.

It's just that the result of this is often oolong, and even ugly. Some workshops, in order to complete the task, steal scrap steel from other workshops. Others bribed the acquisition department to deceive. I picked up 1 ton, but I wrote 10 tons. It's really eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing its ability.

This reminded Jiang Tao of picking up horse manure when he was a child. At that time, in order to support agricultural construction, one of the "winter vacation assignments" during the winter vacation was to collect horse manure. "Crops and flowers are all made by dung. "The school requires each student to pick up 50 pounds of horse manure during the winter vacation.

At that time, horse-drawn carriages were allowed into the city, so it was not difficult to pick up horse manure.

Jiang Tao and a classmate, carrying a small shovel and an old basin, went along the street to pick up horse manure.

At that time, the winter was much colder than it is now, and it was common to have minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius. They were picking up horse manure on the road, their little faces were red from the cold, and their fingers were frozen like cats. After picking up a pot, I hurried back to school. The school has senior students who are specially responsible for receiving students. You don't need to go on the scale, just estimate it with the naked eye, and give a receipt.

Coincidentally, the person in charge of collecting horse manure that day still knew Jiang Tao's classmates. So, I raised my hand and wrote 30 pounds.

Hey, these two people have broken their Coke. As soon as they discussed, it was easy to get things done if they knew someone, so it was better to strike while the iron was hot, pick up some more, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible.

So, the two hurried to the street and picked up another pot and came back. Because of the hurry to come and go, this pot of horse manure is fluffy, at most 10 catties. But the person in charge is really interesting, and with a stroke of the pen, he wrote 100 catties. The two of them overfulfilled their task in an instant. For this, I was also commended by the school.

Thinking of these smoke-like past, Jiang Tao felt ridiculous, the current activity of picking up scrap iron is similar to the call to pick up horse manure back then, in general, the flower frame is greater than the actual effect. It can be seen that after so many years, everything has changed a lot, but the leader is so happy and likes the whole scene, but it has always been passed down, and continues to carry forward in all walks of life, and plays a pivotal role in creating political achievements for leaders.

However, at that time, the welfare benefits were still quite good, and health oil, sugar, and so on were distributed all year round. In order to prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer, tea leaves, prickly heat powder, wind oil essence and beriberi water are also distributed. By the way, and sodas. It's the kind of glass bottle, a plastic soda box, which can hold 24 bottles. In the summer, 180 bottles can be distributed every month. So much, no one can drink it. So, the workers poured home.
