After the start of work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Youmin came to the factory early. The first day is to register, get a red envelope, is a 48 yuan red envelope, the workers meet all arch their hands, say good New Year, get together to talk and laugh, and then do some preparations for the start of work, you can go back. In the afternoon, there was no one in the factory, Hu Youmin went to the office and gave the watch to Tian Yumei, and she took it with some expectation: "What is the gift for me?"

"Do you open it and see if you like it?"

"Wow, what a beautiful watch, I like it, help me put it on!"

Hu Youmin picked up the watch and put it on her white and tender hand bowl, holding her little hand and never letting go.

"Why do you want to buy me a gift? It's very expensive, right? Don't buy such expensive things in the future, as long as you buy it, I like everything!" Tian Yumei stroked her watch and said to him affectionately. Without waiting for him to answer, he said, "I invite you to dinner in the evening, what do you want to eat?" "I ate so well during the New Year, I have to go to the oil and water, you can invite me to eat instant noodles" Hu Youmin patted his stomach exaggeratedly and said.

Not long after the factory started, Meng Youwei took on a private job and built a pit electric furnace for others, earning more than 300 yuan. In the evening, I invited Xiao Lizi and Hu Youmin to supper, and before I ate a few bites, I started a fight.

The cause of the incident is that Xiao Lizi has a cheap mouth, there are three men and one woman at the table next to them who are also eating supper, the woman's twenty-seven or eight appearance, plump breasts and fat buttocks, face, figure is okay, the key is a pair of peach blossom eyes, the corners of the eyes are charming, full of spring, can make the second brother involuntarily salute.

Xiao Lizi peeked at the woman, and said to Hu Youmin and Meng Youwei with eyebrows: "It's quite material, it's beautiful when it's cool." ”

Xiao Lizi's thief eyebrows and mouse eyes aroused the confusion of the adjacent table, and the big fat man walked up to Xiao Lizi and asked, "Dude, what are you muttering?"

"What are you doing?" said Xiao Lizi, who was short-tempered, rolling his eyes.

"Yo, that's pretty sideways, buddy!" the thin, long-haired man also came around.

Hu Youmin and Meng Youwei glanced at each other, pretended to be afraid, lowered their eyebrows and said, "We didn't say anything, it's none of my brother's business, you look for him, we don't know him." He pointed to the little plum, and then lowered his head and ate the kebab. The long-haired and thin man glanced at the two of them with disdain and turned to Xiao Lizi. Xiao Lizi was dumbfounded, but the dead duck had a hard mouth: "Master one pick three, I will still you." ”

Northeast people can solve it with their fists without using their mouths, Hu Youmin has not finished eating a string of roast mutton, and he saw the big fat man grabbing Xiao Lizi's hair and knocking it on the table, and he bled in a few strokes.

Meng Youwei gave Hu Youmin a look, grabbed the bench he was sitting on, and was about to smash it, the long-haired and thin man had been secretly paying attention to them, and Meng Youwei had just gotten up and was thrown to the ground by the long-haired and thin man and kicked with his feet.

The first time Hu Youmin encountered such a scene, he instinctively flew up and kicked at Chang Hair, kicking Long Hair back several steps, with a painful expression on his face, Hu Youmin, who was single and thin, the force of this kick seemed to be not small, probably because he often practiced boxing.

Hu Youmin, who succeeded in his kick, was not happy, his mind was blank at this time, he punched the thin man again, the fist and the thin man's cheek came into close contact, the thin man's face was fleshless, and Hu Youmin only shook his hand in pain, he just wanted to punch again, but he was attacked by the long hair that was relieved, a beer bottle hit the head, blood flowed down his forehead, and many small stars appeared in front of Hu Youmin's eyes.

Faintly, Hu Youmin wiped a handful of blood flowing from his forehead, looked at the bright red blood on his hands, was a little dumbfounded, and instantly became angry in his heart, he picked up the beer bottle on the table and smashed it into the back of the big fat man's head, kicking the big fat man who was happy and crooked, and slowly fell down.

The kicked little Li Zi got up from the ground, picked up the bench next to him and smashed it at the two who were beating Meng Youwei, Hu Youmin pulled up Meng Youwei on the ground, this kid was beaten very badly, and his face was covered with blood.

There are few pedestrians on the streets on the cold day, and the citizens who return late in the cold wind have stopped to watch, but there are not many onlookers, and no one uses mobile phones to call the police. At this time, mobile phones are still rare things, and only some bosses have big brothers, holding big bricks, which is very bullish.

At this time, the doors are closed, and naturally no one uses the landline to call the police. After the fight, the nocturnal walkers continued to hurry, and the supper eaters continued to bite meat skewers, drink wine, and talk and laugh about the mountains, as if nothing had happened just now.

The owner of the night snack stall is a middle-aged man in his 40s, everyone calls him Da Zhang, a laid-off worker of the city electric furnace factory, and his wife is a cook in a small street factory. Da Zhang is Meng Youwei's former colleague, so Meng Youwei often brings colleagues over for supper. Dazhang is an honest man, he and his wife opened this night food stall to make a living, and also provided for a daughter to go to high school, and his life was a little hard.

At this time, the big fat man woke up, sat on the ground and touched the back of his head, looking dazed. The woman twisted the bee's waist and came over to help the big fat man up, but she couldn't pull it, so Dazhang came over and helped the big fat man and the long hair up with her and sat down.

Da Zhang knew a few of them, they were from the nearby Red Star Auto Parts Factory, and they often came for supper. Helping to persuade is a misunderstanding, the Northeast people are violent, just one point, the fight is over, and the fire is gone. No one went to the hospital, so I just had to deal with this little injury myself.

Thinking that it was his own people who caused trouble first, Meng Youwei wanted to buy the other party's order, but the other party did not refuse, and spent 80 yuan together, gave the boss 100 yuan, and compensated Dazhang for the rest.

Everyone walked back with their support, and went to Xiao Lizi's house first, Xiao Lizi's wife hadn't slept yet, and was watching TV at home. Unlike Xiao Lizi's firestorm, his wife is docile and considerate, like a small jasper in the south. She knew what was going on as soon as she looked at the appearance of a few people, and it seemed that Xiao Lizi had caused a lot of trouble before. She didn't say anything, took out gauze, cotton fiber, iodine wine, and Yunnan Baiyao from the back room, and helped several people clean, medicate, and bandage.

It was almost eleven o'clock after finishing it, Hu Youmin and Meng Youwei said goodbye, Meng Youwei wanted to send Hu Youmin back to the dormitory first, less than a mile away from the factory, Hu Youmin refused, and after breaking up with Meng Youwei at the fork in the road, Hu Youmin tightened his scarf and stumbled towards his dormitory.

I didn't expect Tanglin to be so cold, it's almost March, and there is no spring yet, which is colder than the winter in my hometown. After entering the warehouse office, Hu Youmin hurriedly closed the door, as if he could keep the cold out. Rubbed his hands together and plugged in the electric heater. I felt a little pain in my head, and I took a look in the mirror, and the wound was fine, maybe the temperature in the room was higher, and the frozen scalp was felt, so I felt pain.

Thinking of the scene of the fight, Hu Youmin could only smile bitterly. A student who has just graduated from high school, usually doesn't even dare to kill chickens, panics when he sees blood, and is obedient and sensible in the eyes of his parents and teachers.

Shake the thermos, there was no hot water in it, too lazy to go to the kitchen to fetch water, Hu Youmin was ready to go to bed. Lying in bed but unable to sleep for a long time, my mind will be the scene of the fight, the parents doing farm work in their hometown, the night reading of the book and the sea line on the campus, and more worried that I will be fired from the factory!

Although he slept late, Hu Youmin still got up on time the next day, and although he was injured, he still ran a few laps in the factory and practiced boxing. After breakfast, he went to the workshop early, he picked up the teacup and wanted to drink saliva, but there was no water in the cup, Hu Youmin picked up the kettle and wanted to go to the kitchen to fetch water.

As soon as I opened the door, I almost bumped into a person, and when I looked up, I saw that it was my lover Tian Yumei,

"What are you doing? panic!" Tian Yumei glared at Hu Youmin, "The factory director is looking for you." ”

Hu Youmin rubbed his chest, as if he was reminiscing about the soft feeling he had just bumped into, and asked with a frown: "What is the factory director looking for me?"

Only then did Tian Meinu see the gauze wrapped around his head, and hurriedly asked him with concern why he was injured? Hu Youmin disguised himself and said that he accidentally knocked on the door, although Tian Yumei didn't believe it, she didn't say much, touched the place where he was injured, and saw that there was nothing serious, so she told him a few words and left. Hu Youmin stared at Tian Yumei's writhing buttocks, his heart was hot, as a junior brother, he felt that there was a fire running around in his body.

But when I thought that the factory director was looking for him, the fire was extinguished all of a sudden, and the disaster could not be avoided, and the worry still came. came to the factory director's office nervously, and as expected, Meng Youwei and Xiao Lizi were already here.

The director of the factory is Liu Hongyang, the head of the technical section of the Tanglin Electric Furnace Factory, who resigned three years ago to open the factory. At the beginning, it was to operate some fireproof materials, electric furnace accessories, and order some electric heating pipes and heating wires.

Private enterprises operate flexibly, with high quality and low prices, good service attitude, and are far more competitive than those arrogant state-owned enterprises. Changxing Electric Furnace Factory slowly began to make some ovens, small box furnaces, to the current pit furnaces, large trolley furnaces.

Liu Hongyang is from a technical background, he doesn't talk too much, he is a little bookish, I heard that his dream is to be a writer, his ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. His father was a farmer, and after being discharged from the army, he entered the security department of the city electric furnace factory.

Seeing Hu Youmin come in, Liu Hongyang kept staring at the young man, his face expressionless. After a few minutes, Liu Hongyang spoke: "Who will tell me what's going on first?" The three of you look at me, I look at you, and finally Xiao Lizi told the story of the matter, including that he didn't hide it, Liu Hongyang didn't get angry, and said to the three of them: "It's cool, if it's not cool, how many of you will practice here again? ”

The three of them could only smirk, Liu Hongyang only knew about the fight when he saw the gauze wrapped around their heads, Liu Hongyang waved his hand: "You two get out, Xiaohu stays." ”

After the two left, he said to Hu Youmin: "You dare to fight with your small body, I can't imagine that southerners also have blood, like a gentleman!" After a pause, he said: "Don't learn from the Northeasterners, you have a temper and like to fight, I heard that you are a university leak, I need a knowledgeable young man like you, work hard here, I won't treat you badly!" Hu Youmin could only nod his head in fear.

Back in the workshop, Hu Youmin's pounding little heart slowly returned to normal. After running from Shonan to Tanglin with great difficulty, he endured a complaint from his relatives before entering this factory. Hu Youmin cherishes the job in front of him very much, for fear of being fired.

The knock on the door interrupted Hu Youmin's thoughts, and when he opened the door and saw that it was Tian Yumei again, his heart pounded uncontrollably: Does she also know?

Tian Yumei looked at his uncertain face and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Can you still endure it, learn to fight?"

"No, I'm timid, I won't be in the future!"

"Young poverty, the factory director didn't scold you, right?"

"No, the factory director still praises me as a gentleman!"

"Why don't you learn to fight, if you don't fight, you won't be a master?"

"That's not it, it's not there."

"Okay, it's not badly hurt, is it?"

"It's okay, I'm strong!" Hu Youmin bent his elbow and made a motion to show his biceps.

Tian Yumei saw that people were entering the workshop one after another, so she didn't say anything, she pinched his waist and left, so painful that Hu Youmin inhaled the cold air, this woman is a crab?
