...

The ceiling fan was desperately rolling, and the raging 'whirring' sound of the quiet personnel department seemed to want to blow away the whole summer. It was only 9:30 a.m., but it seemed to be 12 o'clock in the middle of the day.

In front of Li Jingjing, it was a short and fat man who had already been soaked with sweat and half of his upper body.

He held a glass of water in his left hand and looked at the ID card on his right hand. On the certificate, the word "Lin Ye" is clearly marked with a No. 5 black pen. After comparing Li Jingjing with the ID photo a few times, he finally smiled and said, "Well, the ID card is fine." ”

Handing the ID card back, he explained, "Well, I'm not actually the more real type, mainly a few days ago there was a little oolong in the factory, and the requirements were strict... Hey, these days, even if there are mistakes, it's so easy to check..."It seems that the following words are a little difficult to say, paused, and then spoke, "You just said that you applied for general workers, right? Well, now is the time." Recently, the factory has received a lot of large orders, and there is a shortage of employees, and it is in a hurry to recruit people. Even if you find the right place, our factory is a large city-level factory, with good benefits and high salary, generally speaking..."

The short and fat manager of the personnel department likes to talk tightly, and he tirelessly goes down, a lot of unrecognized official words, non-standard Mandarin, and dialects that shout and talk to other people from time to time.

After he stopped talking, Li Jingjing had the opportunity to ask, "Can you ask, what are the conditions for recruiting people here? How much is a month's salary? Can you advance your salary?"

This is what Li Jingjing cares about.

Obviously, Li quietly asked the short and fat middle-aged man if it was not the first time he heard something similar, and immediately replied, "What are the conditions? In terms of salary, well, the salary for one month of internship is 700. After the regularization, the salary is 900 a month, which is only the basic salary, and overtime is counted separately. As for having difficulties, there are naturally good benefits of advance point wages. Our factory is humane, and we must understand the difficulties of employees, as long as you work for 15 days, you can submit an application. ”

"15 days?" Li Jinglian asked, "Can't you advance when you just go to work?"

"Hehe, this is a factory regulation, no way. Compared with some small factories that can't even advance wages, our factory is much better. The short and fat man said meaningfully.

With the short and fat manager of the personnel department, 'It's really difficult, I'll ask you about it later.'" Let's see if we can get you a little advance by mortgaging your ID card or something. "Words, after not being able to leave a mobile phone number as a way to notify, Li Jingjing could only say, 'That's really troublesome for you, I'll come back tomorrow, okay?' In the slightly stunned and strange appearance of the short and fat manager, he left the paper factory.

Li Jingjing didn't know whether the short and fat manager's words were polite or kind, he couldn't hang on to such an uncertain job, and he had to go to a few other factories that he noticed yesterday.

The sun is already a little bigger, and the scorching sun makes people unable to open their eyes. Coupled with the screeching of cicadas from the rows of trees in the factory, it makes people feel a little dry at this dead and remote intersection.

The young security guard in the security booth was still enjoying the small fan on the table as he had when he entered, looking into the distance in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. I didn't notice Li Jingjing who left at all.

"The job of a security guard must be better than a part-time job, right?"

Li Jingjing's eyes were full of envy.

Well, it's definitely better than a part-time job.

Leaving step by step, outside this furnace-like fire, Li Jingjing instantly had a dry mouth and a hot scalp. He couldn't help but regret why he didn't leave the HR department with a big fan a few minutes late, and at least ask for a few more glasses of water to drink....

...

In the early morning, Li Jing spent it in several factories.

I don't know if it's summer, or because the factories have always been short of people, several factories are hiring. The salary is almost the same, and the transfer is in the range of 900-1000. The recruitment conditions are lenient and enthusiastic, and one of the small factories didn't even bother to look at his ID card, calling him to go to work tomorrow.

Li Jingjing feels quite satisfied, as long as he has a job, an income, and enough to live, he can do it for the time being. But as far as he is concerned, the most critical salary advance has not been resolved. One and the paper mill are also set to work for fifteen days, and the other is that there is no such rule, unless it is an old employee, otherwise come to apply for the advance money and run, how to get it and so on.

In the end, he had to leave in frustration.

After wandering around in the morning, there was nothing to be gained except for the promise of little hope from the big paper mill.

Now, Li Jing is ready to go home.

The wall clock at the roadside shop showed that it was 11:53. Since it is quite far from several factories, it is now at least 40 minutes to walk to the small factory I just left. He went back quite a bit late. He knew that he had forgotten the time, he was late to go back, and Xiao Nan had to starve....

Under the hurried pace, Li Jing still couldn't forget the worry of the salary advance.

Check out any other factories in the afternoon?

Or try your luck and see if you can find some other job for him?

Go further afield, maybe you can find it!

He had expectations.

....

Even if I went faster, it was 12:30. The old Zhang Ji Hotel surnamed Lu is still full of guests. Xiao Nan wasn't here, and heard the proprietress say that it had been back for more than an hour. Li Jingjing didn't linger, 6 yuan, and took away two fried rice and a tofu stew bought yesterday.

Wiping a pile of sweat on his hands and face, Li Jingjing took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Daddy, you're back!"

Xiao Nan jumped up from the small chair and happily trotted in front of Li Jingjing.

Looking at the bag of steamed buns that still had one left, Xiao Nan didn't move the steamed buns. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little distressed, she put the rice on the table, squatted down, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Mmmmmmmm

Xiao Nan nodded his little head.

"Come, let's eat. Li Jing smiled and pinched Xiao Nan's face and opened the plastic bag.

In the stuffy cabin, there are still two people who are still eating, Xiao Nan and Li Jingjing. Although this small bungalow is smaller, it is better to be quiet. Li Jingjing, who has always been withdrawn, can be regarded as a favorite. Li Jing thought, well, if you can replace this hard iron bed and add an air conditioner, it will definitely be a good place~

Strange to say, maybe children are innocent.

On the first day of rebirth, Li Jingjing obviously felt that Xiao Nan was not particularly intimate with her. In just two days, that feeling disappeared, as if she wanted to be good to her in her heart, she knew it clearly, and that feeling disappeared.... Well, of course, it could also be an illusion.

....

After the meal, he went out to throw away the garbage, and then boiled the kettle of water, and Li Jing leaned against the wall weakly.

I didn't get enough sleep last night, and with the busy back and forth in the past two days, Li Jing was naturally tired and sleepy. Xiao Nan imitated him, obediently leaning to the side, slightly closing his eyes, from time to time the big smart eyes secretly glanced at him, and when he was discovered, he quickly turned his head and pretended to be quiet and funny, which made Li Jing funny and loved.

Sighing lightly, feeling that he had been at home for at least half an hour, Li Jing knew that it was time for him to get up and prepare to go.

Farther away, at least 40 minutes away, running back and forth, at the end of the day, there is not much time in the blink of an eye.

The money in my pocket is five yuan, and dinner is gone, so I can't be lazy. There is no income today, and tomorrow Xiao Nan and himself will have nothing to eat.

Thinking of this, Li Jing supported himself up with both hands.

"Xiao Nan, Dad is going out, and he will come back in the evening. It's hot in the afternoon, so when there are fewer guests at Uncle Lu's place later, you can go there to blow the fan and play with Uncle Lu and them, you know?" Li Jingjing came to Xiao Nan, bent down, and said gently.

Xiao Nan raised his head slightly and looked at Li Jingjing, with a look of loss in his big clear eyes, "Dad, will you come back early today..."

Li Jing smiled reluctantly, "Dad, I'll be back early today." ”

Li quietly went out.

If he could, he really wanted to lie here like this today and take a nap next to Xiao Nan.
