Crossing the street, according to the route given by Jiang's mother, Jiang Che passed by a row of storefronts along the street, turned in front of a shoe repair stall, and got into the alley.

Then came several Soviet-style buildings as thick as square bunkers, with dark facades and narrow windows.

It is said that a few years ago, a central leader came down to Linzhou to inspect it, walked around, and immediately took a fancy to this place, saying that it was the best.

The local official who accompanied him hurriedly asked: "How does the chief think this place can be developed better?" Give some advice and guidance. ”

The leader waved his hand, "Here, there, and those two windows, with four machine guns, with only one squad of people, you can block the entire street outside." ”

Accompanying officer: "......"

In fact, if this is really done, then Tang Yue's home should be in the blind spot of machine gun crossfire.

Along the corner of the wall, on the side of a whole row of buildings, several bungalows suddenly appeared, buildings with mixed structure of blue brick and loess, roof tiles, and low earth walls enclosing the courtyard, giving the feeling of a farmer's courtyard.

At first glance, the area is very large, and it will be developed in the future.

When he got closer to Jiang Che, he found that the big courtyard was actually divided into several small pieces by the front, each of which was fenced, and what was enclosed was only a small part of it.

Tang Yue's house is easy to find, because it is full of clothes.

Jiang Che's vision was blocked by a row of clothes hanging on the pan-green bamboo poles, and he didn't see anyone, but the first thing he saw was a small vegetable patch on the right hand side of the courtyard, and there were more than ten or twenty small vegetable seedlings in the field, just sprouting.

Take two more steps to the middle and lean over to look......

On the left side of the open space was a large wooden plank like a door panel and two large basins of water. Tang Yue was there, facing the courtyard gate, she was sitting on a low bamboo chair, and she was looking down and rubbing the collar of a dress vigorously.

A moon-white shirt with sleeves rolled up and a dark red patch on the corner of the collar, which seems to be embroidered with a small flower......

"It doesn't seem that there is such a design in this era, right?" Jiang Che thought about it, this should be when the days are still stable, and the little girl in the factory girl thinks in private.

Now this side of her has been completely hidden by suffering and tenacity.

A long black hair was tied up at the back of his head, somewhat haphazardly, so a few strands were scattered, and at the moment he was wet with sweat, and he was messily clinging to his forehead and cheeks......

She lifted her forearm, wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat up straight, twisted her body and gave herself a few strokes on the waist.

With this twist, she saw Jiang Che standing outside the courtyard.

Otherwise, Jiang Che didn't know when to see it......

"Xiao Che?" Accompanied by her voice, she smiled brightly, and seemed to be a little happy.

"Sister Xiaoyue", Jiang Che overcame her psychological age and called her sister, saying: "My mother said that after changing the two clothes in the morning, it seems that I forgot to take out the money in my pocket, and I was afraid of soaking in the water, so let me come over." ”

"Yes, it's good that I will turn it over before washing and soaking in water", she nodded, stood up as she spoke, shook the water droplets on her hands, and said, "You wait a minute." ”

Go in and come out again.

Because his hands were still wet, Tang Yue pinched a stack of money with two fingertips and handed it to Jiang Che, saying, "Do you want to click it?"

"No, my mother is still worried, afraid that you will misunderstand, and told me to make it clear, what she is afraid of is that the money is soaked in water, not ......"

This kind of misunderstanding is actually very easy to occur, so Jiang Che said this with a little embarrassment and nervousness.

Tang Yue's crescent eyes squinted slightly, looking, watching, and laughing, "Look at your nervous ...... I know. After a pause, she added, "Thank you for caring so much about my feelings." ”

The latter sentence should actually be a somewhat sad sentence, since being laid off, picking up vegetable leaves, picking up coal cores, cold eyes and ridicule may have been heard too much, and few people care about her feelings.

But she was not sad, only sincere.

At this moment, Jiang Che knew from her eyes that he didn't have to explain anymore.

This feeling of mutual trust is very good, Jiang Che looked left and right, saw a basin of sweater jackets that had been washed and not wrung out, pointed and said, "It's hard to wring out such thick clothes, right?"

Tang Yue nodded, "Well, this is the most difficult, in the past, everything in my own family was screwed by my brother, and I didn't have enough strength." But fortunately, I came up with a way, like this big and thick, I tied one end to the door and twist......ed it like this."

She gestured to the doorknob and said as she smiled, simulating the action.

"I'll help you. ”

It was hard for Jiang Che to deny that he was a little impulsive at the moment, and he would really want to do something for this tough girl, even if it was a small thing...... Even if she's not pretty.

……

……

This big basin is probably the winter clothes that are ready to be washed and then packed away, and there are a few of them, even Jiang Che's strength is not big enough, so the two of them twisted it together.

After finishing the work, some small hearts beat wildly, and they were about to say goodbye.

Tang Yue stopped Jiang Che, pointed to his left chest and said:

"Wait, look at you, the shirt pockets are off and crooked, take them off, I'll sew them for you...... Today, Sunday, Auntie is expected to be busy. ”

Jiang Che glanced down, and sure enough, half of his shirt chest pocket fell off the line and collapsed.

"Well, my mother just gave me a new shirt, why didn't she find out?"

However, Jiang Che was afraid that he would get busy and hot today, so he wore one.

"You're wearing one? It's not that hot yet, be careful of catching a cold." Tang Yue reacted, thinking that he had just opened his mouth and directly asked Jiang Che to take off his clothes, his face was also a little embarrassed, he pursed his lips and smiled, alleviating the embarrassment and said, "It's okay, aren't you men shirtless in summer...... No, you just wear it, and you can wear it. ”

It almost turned into persuading Jiang Che to get rid of it, and it was hot behind his ears, Tang Yue turned around and left directly after speaking, and after a while, he took a sewing kit from the house and came out.

Thread selection, needle threading...... The fingers of his left hand twisted one side of Jiang Che's shirt pocket, and his right hand threaded the needle briskly...... The needle is undulating and the thread is fine......

"Alright. Finally, with a slight bow, Tang Yue leaned over and bit off the thread briskly, and retreated in a panic.

Jiang Che looked at it, and even the last thread knot was tied on the inside of the pocket, and there was no trace on the outside.

"No wonder my mother said that Tang Yue's craftsmanship is better than her...... It's just close, and the factory girl doesn't think I'm a bad person, right? Okay, it's probably all my mother's credit. ”

At this time, Tang Yue raised his left hand and sucked his index finger between his lips.

Jiang Che saw the faint bloodstains, and said embarrassedly, "Is it pierced?"

Tang Yue shook his head, "No, there was a crack in the original, it opened a little, it's okay." ”

Jiang Che took a closer look at her hands......

For the first time, he decided to interfere a little with the life of this "stranger".

"How many restaurants are you washing clothes now?" Jiang Che asked.

"Five, just added one the day before yesterday. She replied with joy.

"How much money can I make?"

"Not necessarily, sometimes there are more clothes, and there are several pieces. ”

"......" Sometimes, several pieces, Jiang Che groaned, shook his head, and said, "Actually, I don't think this is the way." ”

Tang Yue's eyes were a little confused: "Huh?"

Being watched, Jiang Che calmed down and tidied up before saying, "I don't know if my mother has mentioned it to you, she actually has an idea, I think you just don't wash your clothes and move the sewing machine to my store." This is not only my family's work, you can also do sewing and tailoring outside, and you can also help my mother look after the store, anyway, you usually always help, when she is alone, she is really busy. Although it doesn't look so formal, but with three parts of money together, life will not be too sad, and then you can save up slowly, and you can open your own store in the future......"

"This, my aunt mentioned it to me. ”

"That ......"

"I, our factory, there are still some people who may go back, but now they are just suspended, not officially laid off", Tang Yue was explaining, and at the same time said with serious eyes, "The news that is coming out of the factory now says that if someone has already made a good living outside, or has found a job to work...... The factory will not consider it. Many of us have been waiting for that. ”

“……”

What the fuck is this called bastard logic, what kind of shit is this? What kind of thoughts do those stupid X leaders have? Haven't the guidance for laid-off reemployment begun yet? Besides, even if you can go back, do you think your broken factory as a whole can last for two years?

There were a bunch of words in his heart, but Jiang Che couldn't say it directly, he could only say:

"But now people outside the world, if they have the opportunity and conditions, they can earn no less than in the factory...... Since the laid-off has already begun, it means that those factories are actually not working, and you can go back......."

"I'll wait a little longer", Tang Yue's eyes were embarrassed and expectant, "I heard that there will be news soon." ”

“…… Is it that good for a broken factory?"

knows what the ending will be like, and this is a rare nosy thing since Jiang Che was reborn...... As a result, he was kindly treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, "hating iron does not make steel", he muttered depressedly.

"I know, I know that you and Auntie are good for me, you are good. But I, I'm probably used to it, if I leave the factory, I'll be very scared of ......" Tang Yue explained, his face darkened, and said, "At the age of fifteen, I entered the factory at the top of the post...... It's been more than six years now, almost seven years. ”

"Fifteen years old, how is it possible? Even if it's a top post, it's not allowed, right?" Jiang Che asked vaguely and felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the water in Tang Yue's eyes appeared:

"When I was fifteen years old, I was in junior high school, and my parents were both workers in the second factory. There was a fire in the factory, and they rushed in with a lot of people to grab the fabric...... The roof suddenly collapsed, and it didn't come out. ”

"The factory took care of me, let me take up the post, earn money to support myself, and take my younger brother. It's in Mom's original workshop. ”

"......" turned out to be like this, Jiang Che understood that for Tang Yue, this was far more than just a job, but also a brand.

Don't persuade.
