That one summer, 16

"Part-time?"

The man surnamed Lu was stunned, obviously he was surprised by Li Jingjing's consultation. "You're looking for a part-time job?"

When a man surnamed Lu came to the door, Li Jingjing had the idea of asking about it. Whether it's for the current consumption or to improve the conditions in the future, he needs an extra income. But in front of Xiao Nan, he couldn't say these words to make the child care, so he could only delay until now.

"Brother Lu, you and Sister-in-law Zhang should know what is going on in my family. The cost of living is not small, and it will only get bigger and bigger in the future. In the future, we have to improve the conditions, and it is still necessary to save some money..."Li Jingjing said this.

The man surnamed Lu was silent, poured a few sips of wine, and seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long time, he replied, "It's not easy to find a part-time job, our place is not well developed, and the quality is low." All factories and stores are recruiting employees. After all, this is easy to manage, save some scattered troubles, and save wages... If you work part-time... Well, in this case, I'll help you ask if you know anything later, and if so, I'll let you know?"

"Okay. Brother Xie Lu. Li quietly smiled.

Li Jingjing thinks that this kind couple has helped him enough to this extent. He doesn't want to get involved in money, it's like borrowing a few hundred.... If you can rely on your own efforts, it's good to work hard, although it's a little harder, but it's better to be down-to-earth, a lifetime is so long, you can't always count on someone to help you...

....

Maybe he was a little used to the hardships of these days, or maybe this night was a little cooler than the previous days, and he was a little tired. Li quietly walked along this quiet path, letting the pale street lamps stretch, shrink, and twist his shadow, and through one dim alley after another, he came to the bustling street that was still shining with bright neon lights at eight or nine o'clock in the night, and was still crowded with people.

In terms of part-time work, although I asked the man surnamed Lu, it was not easy to leave all my expectations there. The man surnamed Lu has been running a restaurant here for many years, and he is familiar with the way, but he can't guarantee that he can find it, so it's better to take advantage of the fact that he is not tired now, and take time to find it, in case he touches it, he can save people a lot of trouble.

Of course, this fluke thought fell to nothing.

He walked the street for nearly 1 hour, and he mostly wandered aimlessly through the streets. Avoiding crowds of people, stopping in a daze behind a noisy supermarket, standing outside the closet of a children's clothing store and looking at the prices, finally fleeing under the vigilant gaze of the well-dressed female shopkeeper, and finally pausing for a moment at a snack stall where he could do a simple tasting, and in the hopeful gaze of a man in his forties with a somewhat lame leg, he took out two yuan to buy a melon seed.

On the way home, unwilling to leave like this, he gritted his teeth and stood in line for several minutes, standing at the window of the newly opened drink shop, and asked with some embarrassment, "Do you have a part-time job?" What turned back to him was the word 'no move' from a warm smile to a disgusted and indifferent clerk. - Ran away in the dust.

....

On the new day, I still woke up early, washed, bought breakfast, settled Xiaonan, and asked her to hand over the food money to the man surnamed Lu, and then hurriedly went to the factory to continue the boring new day.

Due to the late return last night, Li Jingjing overslept a little this morning, and told him that the plan he had planned last night to take a shower with the beard he had shaved early could not be implemented, so he finally had to put these things on hold for the evening. He didn't dare to be late, but if he was late, he would have to deduct his salary, and he would be full attended...

"Today, the customer asks for more output, and the output requirements are relatively high, and it may be a little later to be busy. ”

But as soon as the machine started, the group leader's words made Li Jing's heart sink. This was followed by disgruntled boos and complaints from several other younger male employees, "What are you doing, what time is it going to be?"

"I have something to do in the evening. ”

"Won't it work tomorrow?"

Several young people spoke.

"Six or seven o'clock if it's fast, and eight o'clock if it's slow. Understand that this is a request from the customer, I have no problem, if you are not satisfied, you have to talk to the director. The main thing is that our output is less in the past two days, otherwise the customer's requirements are not high, and we don't have to rush so much today... If there is really something, you can get off work at 6 o'clock, but if you want to blow up the director's approval, there will be no commission today. The group leader replied.

As soon as the words 'the output has been reduced in the past two days' came out, Li Jingjing felt like a man's back, and he knew that this was deliberately said to him.

He must have been a part of the complaints of several young people.

"What about the blind date that night?" Li Jingjing temporarily threw away those superfluous thoughts, and cared about the agreement with the man surnamed Lu last night. He can't ask for leave, he, the 'perpetrator', how can he have the face to say the word leave?

Eventually, he sighed, and the moment the machine turned on, he worked hard with his head down.

Fortunately, the soreness of the two days was reduced on this day, and perhaps it was more appropriate to adapt, and he did not feel that the work would be delayed by him - 'work hard today, as long as you work faster, if you leave work at 7 o'clock, you should be in time'.

......

Day to noon, and then into night. In the blink of an eye, it was as if the day had just gone away. Compared to the long feeling of sitting idle in high school classes, this difficult work is a day without realizing it. Li Jingjing, who was covered in sweat, stared out the window with his tired eyes, the dark clouds had covered half of the sky, and the sunset had disappeared, at least 7 o'clock.

When is it over?

Now add the 40-minute journey back, it's at least 8 o'clock when you get home, right?

Lifted a few boxes in his hand again, packed them neatly, stacked them on the wooden board, grabbed a few boxes, and prepared to clean up the underground boxes first, and when he took a breath, the team leader finally spoke, "Okay, the efficiency is very good today, it's almost, let's get off work." ”

Li Jing sped up, he cleaned up the underground boxes, folded them, and the workshop had nothing to do, he was in a hurry to go back and didn't help his colleagues clean up two days ago, changed out of the factory clothes, poured a few large mouthfuls of water in front of the water dispenser in the workshop, and quickly left the factory.

'I'm late, what does Brother Lu want to think of me.' Li Jing was a little anxious, he considered taking the bus back, but now there was no bus stopped at the bus stop, I don't know if it was the end of the last stop, or it has not arrived, he hesitated for a moment and chose to walk.

Ignoring his messy hair, uncleaned stubble and dirty shirt full of wet sweat, he was in a hurry, and it took him about thirty minutes to run away, and he finally came to the hotel surnamed Lu.
