I barely said anything grandiose and slipped the bag into my pocket.

Carrying the baggage prepared by my mother and leaving the village, I didn't even look back.

I knew that my parents must be watching me at the door of my house, and I was afraid that I would never be able to leave again if I turned around.

I could feel the tears running down my nose, but I didn't look back or stay.

The road out of the village leads directly to the county seat, and I don't know how long I walked.

Because I didn't understand anything, I walked in the middle of the road.

Behind me, a large cattle truck honked its horn and startled me.

Then the driver stopped beside me and rolled down the window, and the driver laughed and shouted, "Where are you going, young man?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm going to town, I can walk slowly if I don't need to." ”

"The nearest towns here are more than sixty kilometres, about sixty-three kilometres. Where are you nearby, and why are you here?" the driver said, confused.

I ignored it and went around to the right side and continued along the road.

The driver drove to my left, honked again, stopped the car, shifted around, opened the passenger door on the right, and beckoned to me.

I hesitated for a moment and got into the car, which was also my first time in a car.

The driver also seemed to know that I was a layman, and reached over and closed the door on the right.

I had only heard of cars in my teacher's class before.

The driver smiled and reached out to help me fasten my seat belt, and I was shocked to see the seat belt strapped up.

struggled to pull it away, but the driver excused himself.

It resolved the embarrassment and made me feel that not every driver is a bad person.

Along the way, the driver asked me a lot and told me a lot.

It's a long way to know, for me who doesn't know anything.

"How much money do you have, do you want to go to the city?" said the driver with a smile.

I thought for a moment, looked at me and said, "I don't have any money." ”

"It's hard to do without money, and I estimate that at least 3,000 will be needed to save money to stay in the city. The driver said with a smile.

"Why do you need so much money?" I said, puzzled.

"The price is expensive, a small bowl of noodles costs more than a dozen. I can't get enough to eat, let alone anything else. Besides, you don't have the money and no one to drive you, so I can only take you to town. The driver said.

"And how much does it cost to get from town to city?" I asked.

"It depends on which city you go to, and the best is still average. The driver said with a smile.

"The best?" I said without hesitation.

"The best city is called Beijing, so you're definitely going to have to fly. It's a lot more powerful than a car, and it costs a thousand dollars a trip. You definitely don't have the money, and it's probably harder. The driver said.

I lowered my head and thought about the plane and the best Beijing city that the driver said.

The driver thought for a moment and sighed and said, "Don't be sad, if you really want to go to Beijing." I can take you to the factory where I ship the goods, the slaughterhouse where cattle are slaughtered. I don't know if you want to be a slaughterer, but I guess I have the money to go back and forth to Beijing in a few months. ”

I almost nodded my head and smiled and said, "I do." ”

Three hours later, the driver arrived at a small factory.

He set me aside and went into the room to chat with someone for a while.

A man with glasses walked out, stared at me for a moment and said, "What's your name?

"Jock, twenty-three. I replied.

"That's a pretty foreign name, have you ever used a knife to cook at home, do you know how to cut livestock?" said the man with glasses, pushing his glasses, and smiling.

"No, but I can learn. I said.

"Do you have an ID card?" said the man with glasses.

I took out my ID card from the baggage I was carrying, and almost as soon as I took it out, I was held in the hand of the man with glasses.

I stretched out my hand and just wanted to take it back, but the man with glasses smiled and said, "I'll keep this for you, the apprentice will learn for three months without money but with food and shelter." After learning it, it is 1500 yuan a month, but you have to take half of it every month for the first five months as the entrance fee. That is, after eight months, you give me 3,750 yuan and I will return my ID card to you. Now it's up to you to choose, and it's up to you to see if you do it. ”

"Why do I have to give you an entrance fee when I come to work?" I said angrily.

The glasses smiled and said, "If people can't endure hardship, don't do it here." I don't know if other places will accept you or not. ”

The driver walked up to me and said, "This slaughterhouse is the largest in town, not to mention 1,500 a month in other places." I don't think 500 is enough to choke, these rules are really worth it. ”

I thought for a moment and looked into my glasses and said, "You make 3,750 yuan in eight months, right? Then I can also make 3,750 yuan?"

The man with glasses said, "Yes, you are half and I am half." After that, the ID card will be returned to you, and I won't lie to you about this. ”。

I nodded at my glasses and said, "I'll do it." ”

The driver patted me on the shoulder and said, "I can help you witness this matter, I have known glasses for several years." ”

I nodded.

The glasses beckoned, "Come with me." ”

I followed my glasses into the factory.

The glasses whispered: "You were brought in by the driver, don't say that I don't take care of you with your ID card and money." In the future, when you enter the factory and meet people, they will say that it is my brother, and they will not embarrass you. And then you follow me for these three months,"

For the next two months, I slept on the sofa in the bedroom with glasses, and my work clothes were the same old clothes that I wore with my glasses.

Although there is food and drink, I look at the glasses and kill the cow every month.

He taught me the details over and over again, but after two months I was only allowed to kill one a day.

I almost scolded a little bit if I couldn't do it well, but I could only endure everything and silently remember it in my heart.

I thought about what my glasses had done to me, and I would return it when I got my ID card back.

After three months of apprenticeship, I barely learned to dissect whole cows.

After that, I was forced to do it for another five months, and I still didn't have a bed for those five months.

I can't even see the salary, I heard that it's all in the hands of glasses.

And there are no decent new clothes, which I think is all weighed down by glasses.

My clothes were taken away from my glasses, and my bed bill was probably saved by him.

In the last month when I was about to get my ID card back, I was going to quit.

That month, I took a week off to return to my hometown, and I was able to sleep in the bed of glasses.

The taciturn fat man on the top bunk of glasses before seemed to open the conversation.

If you have nothing to do, you can talk to me, and I will know what I really think.

The glasses I've always resented are a good guy.

This slaughterhouse only recruits masters, that is, old employees who kill cattle and kill Lisuo.

And I don't get paid for three months as an apprentice because I'm not an employee at all.

I bought two servings of glasses and ate everything, and I was taught for three months before I could learn them.

In fact, there was no shortage of slaughter masters in the factory, and I had only been sharing his hours with glasses since the so-called internship.

Then the oldest butcher in the factory, the day I retired, was the day I got my ID card back.

That is, the so-called three-month internship, and then five months' salary, in fact, half of his own glasses were given to me.

And these time constraints are all in order to wait for the oldest butcher to retire.

Then I took the place of the old butcher, so I still have no bed and no clothes.

And the so-called half of my salary was given to him, but in fact he gave me half of my salary for five months.

And even the team leader in the slaughterhouse hid this matter from his glasses.

If it weren't for the fat man's natural big mouth, and the glasses went back to his hometown.

I probably wouldn't have known about it the day I left.

When the glasses came back a few days later, I immediately rushed up to apologize.

In the evening I told him why I had come, without any reservations.

I talked to Glasses all night, and he kept trying to convince me to take the old butcher's place.

But I said that my heart is far away from Beijing.

The glasses said: "The master is about to resign, and you will just take over at that time." It's a lot of 15,000 a month in the town, why don't you want to do it?"

"I said I wanted to go to Beijing, I wanted to do pottery. I've been here for eight months, and I've forgotten all that stuff. I said with a smile.

The next day, the glasses went out early.

Came back with a new phone and he gave me his old one.

And also bought me a new number, followed by 3750 yuan and my ID card.

And said that when you arrive in Beijing, don't forget to call him.

That day, I made a small pottery figurine out of clay from outside the factory.

And risked death to borrow the canteen to finish firing and give the glasses.

"Who is this?" said the potter with glasses and a smile.

"Is that you? not like that?" I said.

The glasses looked at Tao Ren and said, "Jock, Beijing may really suit you better than here." ”
