.......

Lee was silent.

I thought that paying the fee in one lump sum would relieve the pressure for a long time. But I didn't expect to have to spend it every month. He calculated, deducting weekends, there are about 20 days in a month, and the meal cost is 60. Add 70 to the childcare fee, and you need to pay more than 130 per month.

After going to work, the daily income is only 30. The child's money for a month in school, he needs to stay up for five days to earn it. And that's not even to add anything else.

Fortunately, in general, this money is lower than Li Jingben's budget, and he can afford it. After all, it is one thing for the child to be in charge of him, and the two-yuan meal money also makes him very satisfied-Ask Xiaonan to pay 8 yuan a day for the swarthy man!

"How old is your child?" asked Li Zhenguo.

"5 years old. Little girl, very sensible. Li replied with a quiet smile.

"The girl is good.... The boy is too skinny. Li Zhenguo sighed lightly, obviously worrying a lot about his son. "My wife is working in other places, and my mother helps to manage it, but I can't control it... Jumping up and down every day... Your daughter and your wife brought it?"

“...”

Li Jing knew that he couldn't avoid things about his 'wife', but he didn't know how to reply. In his memory, Xiao Nan is a single-parent family, and he has not seen it since he was reborn, and he has not found the household registration book for a few days, how does he know where Xiao Nan's mother has gone?

Maybe one day in the future, he will find out.

"Roll call. ”

The shouting of the workshop director solved the embarrassment of Li Jingjing not knowing how to answer Li Zhenguo's question, and even walked over and lined up. At the end of the day, start the day again.

....

This morning was too difficult for Li Jingjing. The soreness of his arm made it impossible for him to keep up with the team's usual rhythm, and the slow packaging speed hindered the rapid operation of the machine. In exchange for the three times of stagnation, the group leader and his colleagues turned impatiently into cold eyes, and he was extremely ashamed, and he didn't know what to do. He tried really hard, but the body didn't listen to him at all.

In the end, it was Li Zhenguo who asked the team leader to help the colleague in front of him, who was very desperately busy.

Although this can affect the output of the whole day, it is not an option to stop the machine all the time. The group leader agreed.

The problem was thus solved. The efficiency of an old employee like Li Zhenguo is far from being comparable to Li Jingjing, and the boxes piled up on the ground immediately disappear at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and until the end of noon, there is no longer a situation where the boxes are piled up. During this period, the two were able to find time to blow the wind for a while and talk a little about their children's schooling.

Today's lunch break is short. Li Jing changed out of his factory uniform, squeezed into the dense crowd, came to the crowded canteen ordering counter and lined up, and waited for about ten minutes before it was his turn to take two yuan of staff meals in the blank face of the canteen staff, and finally stood alone in the open space, looking for an empty seat blankly.

"Here. ”

Li Zhenguo's voice clearly came into Li Jingjing's ears in the noisy canteen, and immediately he sat opposite Li Zhenguo with a dinner basin, smiled embarrassedly, didn't do any extra talking, poured a few mouthfuls of free seaweed soup, and then gobbled up the food on the table.

This is a corner of the big cafeteria that a few fans can't scrape, Li Jingjing is like being in a stadium of reinforced concrete under the scorching sun, the heat and sweat beads brought by the high temperature make Li Jingjing unsure of eating a meal. But in the morning, the production that had been slowed down by him had to be reduced to make up for the rest time of the whole group, and he didn't have time to settle his lunch slowly and methodically, and then find a cooler place to rest for a while to dissipate the heat.

"Eat slowly, didn't you give more than 30 minutes?" Li Zhenguo shouted.

"Out of the way... I usually eat so fast. Li quietly chewed the rice, replied vaguely, the beads of sweat on his forehead ran down his tired and anxious eyes, dripped down with the tip of his nose, and then dripped in front of the bowl containing the soup in front of him, and then he didn't care about picking up the bowl and pouring a mouthful of soup, the sour and salty seaweed soup didn't taste sweaty, and he could talk well with an empty mouth, "Brother Li, you go back to your post in the afternoon, I feel that my body is adapting, and I can come by myself in the afternoon." ”

Li Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not in the way." I know you were too tired yesterday and didn't fit in today, so I'll help you get okay for the day. ”

"No," muttered Li Jingjing, who was chewing on rice again, "It's really not possible." I've already delayed the group's production in the morning, and I have to make up for it in the afternoon, and I can do it. If you can't do it well, I'll trouble you again when the time comes..."

Li Zhenguo's eyes were full of complications for a moment, and after a while, he nodded slowly, "If you can't come, call me." He was greeted with a quiet and grateful smile.

...

The occasional breeze under the scorching sun did not feel the slightest coolness, and the face was mostly hot and boring.

The employees who had a one-hour break at noon rushed back to the dormitory after dinner, turned on the fan in the crowded hut full of men's sweat, poured 1 yuan of cold mineral water, and enjoyed the rest of the rest of the rest.

After struggling through the sun, Li Jingjing returned to the locker room and changed into factory clothes, hung the wet shirt and pants in the cabinet, and was the first to rush to the workshop, tidy up the scattered boxes, and began to clean up the underground.

"Why did you come so early...."Feng Qiong was the second to arrive. Seeing that Li Jing was cleaning, she paused and slowly spoke, "I'll do it with you." ”

"Thank you. Li Jingjing smiled.

"I was going to do that, too. When grabbing the broom and cleaning, Feng Qiong replied disappreciatively, and suddenly asked again, "Does your wife work in the factory?"

Li Jing was slightly stunned, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Feng Qiong's question, thought about it, and faced this female colleague who was very talkative and easy to get along with, he replied with a dry smile, "I don't have a wife." I have only one daughter. Then, in Feng Qiong's embarrassed tone, which didn't know whether she was surprised or didn't want to ask too many questions, an elongated 'oh' word temporarily ended the topic.

The employees of the group came one after another.

A group of people who had saved a little cleaning work immediately started the machine. Li Zhenguo returned to his original post, Li Jing worked hard to quickly grab one after another falling boxes, pile them up, grab them again, and fold them.... The noisy fans and the sound of the machines are back together, and it's still a tough afternoon...

.....

It's dark.

Li Jing couldn't figure out what time it was at this time, if it was calculated according to yesterday's time, it should be more than 7 o'clock. Now, due to the delay in the morning, the output requirements were not met, and the team leader who was desperately in a hurry did not continue to ask the employees who had complained to continue to work after the night, and announced the end of work.

The darkening night flickered with a little light, the streets were full of people, the shops were brightly lit, the stereos at the entrances of several clothing stores were shouting in an open voice, and the lonely Li Jing passed through this ordinary night as usual, carrying a change of factory clothes, enjoying the cool wind that finally came to night, speeding up the pace and walking on the way home.

When picking up Xiao Nan, the swarthy man said that he had sent her back at Xiao Nan's request, and when Li Jingjing's delicate and good-looking but tired face forced out a smile to open the door, Xiao Nan had fallen asleep on the hard iron bed full of mottled rust.

She curled up in an even breath, as bad as usual.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled helplessly, tiptoed into the house, sat heavily on the small stool in front of the bed, leaned against the wall, exhaled, and looked at the old hut weakly with empty eyes.

The ten-watt light bulbs hung from the low ceiling, and in the dim light, everything in the room seemed a little blurry and hazy...

Li Jingjing feels so sleepy and hungry...

But he didn't want to move. But if you don't move, you can't... Xiao Nan didn't take a bath, didn't wash his clothes, didn't eat...

It's so numb, so contradictory, he can't live this night so perfunctory.

The idea of looking for a part-time job was also given up in the fatigue of this day. - Li Jing thought, "At least not today." ’
