Chapter 2 Begin a life's work

When he arrived at Pingrong Station, Fan Ran quickly ran off the train, he had no choice, and he didn't have relatives here. He had to run, run out of the station. There was also a shout from the driver: "What about the money, you ran away, hey!"

Fan Ran ran out of the station until the sound became quieter and quieter, and he ran in the direction of the school, running far in one breath. He felt like it was the fastest, farthest, and longest he had ever run in his life.

The station was not far from the school, and in a square not far from the school, Fan Ran lay down, panting and weak, looking at the gray sky, at the sun hiding on the edge of the clouds as if mocking him. Next to the school where I have lived for three years, I suddenly feel a lot more at ease. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was dusk, and he was so hungry and thirsty, but, touching the fifteen dollars in his pocket, he lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

He got up and walked aimlessly down the street. I don't know what to do.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and at the door of a villa not far in front of me, there was a big recruitment, with a red background and yellow words, which was very dazzling. Fan Ran couldn't manage so much, thinking that as long as he could have food and shelter, he would be fine. So I walked into the villa with the attitude of giving it a try.

Walking into the villa, I saw a little girl in her early twenties at the front desk bowing her head and doing something, Fan Ran approached: "Are you recruiting here?" ”

The little girl didn't raise her head: "Yes, but the HR department has already left work today, so you can come back tomorrow." After saying that, she still didn't look up, and was busy with the matter at hand.

Fan Ran stood stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the villa.

Where to go at night? Before he knew it, he had walked to a small park not far from the school. When he used to study, he often came to this riverside park by himself, because he had no one to play with him, and the family didn't have much money for him, so he couldn't go out to eat or watch movies like other classmates. After school and on weekends, he was the only one who came to this small park, sat on a chair by the river, and stayed quietly.

Coming here again today is a different mood. It's not the time to study anymore, at least it was a worry-free time, and now, food and housing are difficult, and I don't have the same quiet mood as when I was in school. He found a wooden chair and sat down, the wooden chair was much old, covered with dark and brown spots, it was dark, and the chair was damp and cold, just as he was in the mood at this time.

Fan Ran put the bag on the end of the chair, lay down, and looked up at the night sky, the moon had not yet risen, only a few stars were scattered and hung there coldly motionless. In the distance, there are large and small neon lights, shining irregularly up and down, left and right.

He only felt so hungry that he swallowed heavily.

I definitely can't sleep again tonight.

Finally, it was dawn, and it was a long night.

Fan Ran picked up his luggage and walked towards the villa he had recruited yesterday. When I arrived at the villa, there was already another girl at the front desk, and he came to the girl: "Are you recruiting here?"

The girl grinned, revealing a mouth full of violent teeth: "Zhao, but you came too early, and they haven't gone to work yet." Why don't you sit on the couch over there for a while?" he said, gesturing to the couch in the corner of the hall.

Fan Ran nodded and went over to sit down. He watched the time silently, it was only seven twenty in the morning.

He waited.

Time flies so slowly. Finally, at eight o'clock, the toothy girl said to Fan Ran: "You go to the third floor to find the personnel department, you should go to work at this time." ”

Fan Ran nodded, picked up his bag, and walked towards the third floor.

The office door was open, and a middle-aged woman was sitting in front of the computer eating buns and a mouthful of leeks.

"Is this the HR Department?"

When the middle-aged woman saw that someone was coming, she put down half of the bun and chewed it in her mouth: "Mmmm, yes, what's the matter?"

"I'm here to apply, are you looking for a waiter here?"

"Move, have you done it before?"

"Nope. ”

"Then fill out the form first. ”

Fan Ran finished filling out the form and handed it to the middle-aged woman, who took the form: "We are recruiting room attendants here, 500 yuan a month plus commission, including food and accommodation, very hard, can you do it?"

Fan Ran thought to himself, as long as he could have something to do: "I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm from the countryside." ”

"Okay, when can you come to work?"

"Right now. ”

"Alright, you can come to work tomorrow. ”

"I can also go to work today, so I can study first. Fan Ran had nowhere to live or where to go, he was anxious to have a place to stay.

Maybe the villa is quite short of people. In addition, seeing that Fan Ran was rustic and honest, the middle-aged woman agreed with Fan Ran: "You give me a copy of your ID card and a copy of your academic qualifications, and you go to the second floor to find Manager Tang in the guest room." It's better to get acquainted with it, you said I told you to go down. ”

After Fan Ran copied the middle-aged woman's ID card and academic qualifications, she went to the second floor.

Manager Tang is the room manager, a young man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Thin and with a shrill voice, he was arranging work when Fan Ran found him. There were three aunts and two little sisters in the office, sitting on chairs and stools casually, and Fan Ran didn't know what Manager Tang was talking about. Standing at the door in a daze, after a while, I only heard Manager Tang say: "This is the new Xiao Fan, let Xiao Xie take him today." ”

When Fan Ran heard that he was calling himself, he asked anxiously, "Where do I put my clothes?"

Manager Tang turned his head and glanced at him: "Xiao Xie will take him to the staff dormitory in a while." ”

Xiao Xie answered. Xiao Xie is a very fat girl, not very old, but her face is dark, and she looks strong and strong. I didn't understand what the manager said halfway, but I heard him say again: "Xiao Xie, you take Xiao Fan to the dormitory first." ”

Fan Ran followed Xiao Xie to the top floor in a daze, the dormitory was on the top floor, the roof was iron, and it would make a hula and hula sound when the wind blew loudly. A small room with two bunk beds and two disembarking beds already occupied, with quilts and messes on them. Fan Ran placed the package on an upper bed.

"You'll be living here for now, and now there's an electrician and a security guard. Xiao Xie said, "I'll take you to get the quilt when I eat at noon." ”

Fan Ran still nodded. I don't know what to say or what to do. Anyway, I have to follow Xiao Xie. Xiao Xie walked in front, and Fan Ran followed behind her, looking at her bucket-like waist wrapped in beige overalls, and her fat buttocks that black work pants couldn't cover, twisting left and right. He kept his head down and did not dare to speak.

Xiao Xie took him to the second floor, a small room, there were a lot of sheets and quilt covers, Xiao Xie began to sort out some work supplies and utensils, Fan Ran didn't know what to do, as if he couldn't help, he stood next to watch Xiao Xie busy.

"The first thing we do every day is to tidy up the work cart and make up for the things on it, which we will need to clean the room later. Xiao Xie told Fan Ran while tidying up. Fan Ran still nodded.

After a while, after Xiao Xie tidied up the work car, he pushed the car to an empty room, put the car at the door, turned to Fan Ran and said, "You can help me collect the garbage in the house." Fan Ran began to collect garbage from the table, floor, and bathroom. This room is too dirty, Fan Ran said in his heart: "The house is full of barbecue skewers, paper towels, cigarette butts, instant noodle buckets, and a lot of snack bags, melon seeds and peanut shells......." While Fan Ran was collecting it, he suddenly felt so hungry that he remembered that he hadn't eaten for two days. Suddenly I felt weak, but I still managed to pull myself together.

At this time, Xiao Xie had already begun to make up the hygiene on the bed. While tidying up, he occasionally turned his head: "Xiao Fan, where are you from?" and occasionally asked.

"I'm from Tumen Town. People who Fan Ran didn't know much about talking, and he would answer Xiao Xie's questions.

"The people we work here are very nice, but the work is hard. ”

"It's okay, I'm a rural person, it's no problem to endure hardship. ”

"Our job is very simple, as long as you are obedient, I promise to teach you in three days. After speaking, he glanced back at Fan Ran and giggled again.

Although Xiao Xie is a little darker and fatter, he still looks good when he smiles. At this time, Fan Ran was hungry, thirsty, and tired, and he really couldn't keep up his spirits. However, he still responded: "I must learn from you seriously." After speaking, he lowered his head and cleaned up the garbage on the ground, there was really too much garbage on the ground.

I saw that Xiao Xie had finished making the bed and went to the bathroom to do hygiene, and the water in it was loud. The garbage in Fan Ran's house was almost collected, so he stood at the door of the bathroom to watch Xiao Xie do something. I saw Xiao Xie holding the bath head, shabu the glass of the bathroom, the water splashed on the cloth shoes, the cloth shoes were wet a lot, Fan Ran took a look: "I'll come." ”

"You don't know yet, just watch me do it, learn. The glass should be filled with all-purpose water first, then flushed, and brushed clean with a brush. ”

"Oh!" Fan Ran replied.

After tidying up one room, he went to the next one, and it was still the case, Xiao Xie arranged for Fan Ran to pick up the garbage, and told him to learn to watch himself do other things.

These jobs are relatively simple, and Fan Ran can basically do them at a glance, but it may take some time to become proficient.

In this way, at noon, Fan Ran felt that a morning passed so slowly. The main thing is that I am hungry, thirsty and tired, and now I am tired.

Xiao Xie took him to dinner, and the staff meal was not bad, one meat, one vegetable and one soup.

Fan Ran made a big bowl of rice, devoured it, ate it one bowl after another, and finally drank a big bowl of soup. He felt like his stomach was holding up, but suddenly he felt much better.

Xiao Xie took him to get the bedding.

Fan Ran went to the dormitory, tidied up the bed, and wanted to lie down for a while, but the security guard came back: "Are you new here? ”

"My name is Fan Ran. With that, he looked at the security guard.

The security guard glanced at Fan Ran obliquely, slammed the door shut, and went out. Fan Ran looked dazed.

After a while, Xiao Xie knocked on the door again: "Xiao Fan, let's go, I'll wait for you on the second floor." ”
