This is a new factory that has only been open for two years, and it is not large, and all the workers add up to about 100.

On the twentieth day of the first month, I officially started work, and I still had food and accommodation in the past few days, but I had to listen to the command of the factory, clean up or something, and do some chores.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei live in an eight-person dormitory, a total of four bunk beds, the other six people are from the same place, about the same age as them, they came early, they have already picked a bed to live in, the remaining two beds are upper bunks, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei sleep one.

Get up at six o'clock in the morning, line up to go to the canteen for breakfast, each person has a steamed bun and a bun, take the rice jar to hold a bowl of porridge, wash it and put it back in the dormitory after eating, and then you have to hurry to the workshop, fortunately, the factory is not big, the dormitory building is not far from the workshop, and you can walk in three or four minutes.

I started work at half past six and worked until half past eleven, had lunch and rested, and had two choices for lunch, eating a bowl of noodles or eating steamed bread, and eating meat once a week, or fish or meat, although the amount was not large, it was good enough to kill gluttony.

In the afternoon, I worked from one to six o'clock, and then I got off work and had dinner, which was the same as breakfast, but I had enough time to sit there and eat slowly, and drink two bowls of porridge.

There is no mandatory requirement to work at night, according to your own will, if you are willing to do it or not, even if you don't want to do it, you will work overtime at night, do not remember the time, and calculate the salary by piece, because you are afraid that people will not have enough energy to work at night and be lazy.

In fact, it is better for Zhang Yan to count by piece, because Zhang Yan is fast, so that the sewing machine is particularly handy, like a veteran for more than ten years, the technology is good, the whole workshop can be counted, she adds from seven to nine and a half every night, and can earn about eight yuan.

Zhang Mei is a little slower, about six or seven yuan, compared to others, she is fast, but what is she doing compared with others, she is compared with Zhang Yan.

But I can't compare, I'm so envious!

"No wonder my mom said you were clever and better than me. ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, she just had more than ten years of experience than others, but considering Zhang Mei's little mood, she still comforted her and said that she was familiar with practice.

In fact, working here, the salary is indeed high, but the requirements are also strict.

All day a month, but leave is allowed, up to four days a month, no salary is paid on the day of leave, five yuan of food expenses are deducted, and money is also deducted for being late, five yuan is deducted within an hour, and the longer you are late, the more you will be deducted.

The one who interviewed Zhang Yan that day was the boss's wife, with the boss's surname, the boss's name is Liao Hui, her name is Liao Zhenzhen, the company's recruitment and workshop work are all in her management, the management can be strict, the speed is slow and rough, she will be deducted by her, and the situation will be deducted by her.

She manages the factory with the boss, she is busy and has no time to cook, she eats in the canteen like the staff, she is picky, and her mouth is also picky, the master she invited before was said to run away a few times, and now the master who cooks is newly recruited, with his wife and children to fight, he looks honest, Zhang Yan suspects that this is the boss deliberately picked, honest people have a good nature, and they will not give the boss a bad luck.

This time I came out to make money, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei had to work overtime every night, and they were not willing to ask for leave, and worked until February 20th.

Zhang Yan's salary was more than 2,000 in half a year last year, and he earned 803 this month, but he said that he would pay a month's deposit, so in addition to receiving a salary slip, he didn't get a dime.

When I didn't get the money, there was always a little suspense in my heart.

Finally waited until March 20th.

After getting off work, the proprietress paid her salary in the office, all in cash, Zhang Yan received 850 yuan, she began to calculate, the money borrowed from He Junwu would have to pay 3,600 yuan of interest for a year, and in the second year, she would have to pay back more than the first year's interest, so no matter what, she must pay back the money during the Chinese New Year this year, and she has to save her salary.

slept overnight with his salary, and early the next morning, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei took a day off to take the money to Jiang Tao and Zhang Zhiqiang.

Except for the first month, Jiang Tao and Zhang Zhiqiang saw them twice, and they hadn't seen each other for a month, Zhang Yan especially wanted to see Jiang Tao, who was working the construction site, and didn't know what happened to him.

"Yanzi, let's have breakfast and then leave, anyway, the food money has been deducted, and it will be a loss if you don't eat. ”

"Let's go, eat and then go, let's eat quickly, there will be a lot of people in the car, and the dormitory people say that there are a lot of thieves on the bus around here, and it is not safe for us to carry money. ”

"Okay, let's eat quickly. Meizi said, and quickly took the rice bowl and went downstairs.

Zhang Yan followed her and received the steamed buns, because the wages were paid, everyone was in a good mood, the boss saw that he simply notified the improvement of today's food, the buns were filled with vermicelli pork, Zhang Yan ate the steamed buns, and the buns were packed in a plastic bag with them, planning to give Jiang Tao a taste of the food of their factory, and the plums were not willing to eat, so they put the buns up and kept them for her brother.

The two got on the bus and cautiously went all the way to the construction site.

When he was working on the construction site, his body was dirty quickly, and his clothes were not clean, Jiang Tao was covered in ashes, and when he heard that Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei were looking for him, he immediately ran with Zhang Zhiqiang to ask for leave, and rushed back to the simple shed to change his clothes before going to see them.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the construction site, mainly for fear of accidents, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei can't get in, and the four of them discuss going outside at the door.

Zhang Yanti went to the bank first and deposited her salary.

Zhang Mei echoed her, and then showed off to Zhang Zhiqiang, saying that she earned a lot more than last year.

Zhang Yan was also satisfied with this salary, and said to Jiang Tao: "Brother, I didn't expect that I could earn so much salary, at this rate, we can pay back the money this year." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out, you take care of yourself in the factory, don't go overtime when you're tired, don't go too late, if you think the food in the canteen is not delicious, you go to the restaurant outside with Meizi to eat, don't run around at night......"

The more Jiang Tao talked, he found that there were so many things to worry about, although Zhang Yan was very independent, he was still worried that she would not be able to take care of herself, she used to feed the whole family by herself and not be hungry, but now suddenly someone asked him to worry, what he felt was not tired, but down-to-earth, his heart was very down-to-earth, and he rarely had nightmares.

Zhang Yan felt that maybe she was yelled at by her family a lot when she was a child, and she especially liked to listen to Jiang Tao tell her, and she was not annoyed to listen to it.

However, she found that Jiang Tao had lost weight again, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Why are you losing weight again! If you lose weight any longer, a gust of wind can blow you away, where will I go to find you then?"

"You're mistaken, I've been like this, and I've lost a piece of clothing from the heat, and it doesn't look swollen as before. Jiang Tao replied seriously.

"Oh, Yanzi, you don't know ......" Before Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he was covered by Jiang Tao's mouth.

"Brother Zhiqiang, what's going on, I don't know what?"

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Jiang Tao and pretended to be stupid.

Jiang Tao took the words: "Yan, didn't you give me the passbook before, I brought it here, I saved the salary I received, and you don't need to open a new account later, take the money back and put it away." ”

Zhang Yan was unwilling, she didn't take the passbook, and wanted to save her salary for Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao simply said that the construction site was unsafe, and persuaded her: "Your money is my money, and my money is also your money, who saves it differently, why do I have to save it, everyone is a daughter-in-law to manage the accounts, you have to take care of it for me." ”

Zhang Yan laughed at him, went to the bank to deposit money, and the four of them went to a nearby park for a stroll, and spent two yuan to ask someone to help take a group photo.

At noon, they went to eat shredded meat noodles, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei asked for a small bowl, one dollar a bowl, and Jiang Tao and Zhang Zhiqiang asked for two yuan for a bowl.

Before eating, Zhang Yan wanted to go to the toilet.

"Brother, you are waiting for noodles here, let Brother Zhiqiang take us to the toilet." ”

In the toilet, Zhang Yan explained to Zhang Mei and asked her to help ask what Zhang Zhiqiang didn't finish, she always felt that Brother Zhiqiang's expression was wrong.

Zhang Zhiqiang was reluctant to say it at first, but how could Zhang Mei come back empty-handed after receiving the task, you must know that Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't resist her, and second, he was worried about Jiang Tao, so he said quickly.

"Meizi, if you want to talk to Yanzi, just say it, I persuade Jiang Tao that he doesn't listen, it's best that Yanzi can persuade him. ”

Zhang Mei was anxious and stomped her foot: "What's the matter, brother, why are you verbose." ”

"Alas, Jiang Tao used to be desperate San Lang, but now he borrowed loan sharks and didn't even want his life, we worked in three shifts, worked for eight hours, and rested for eight hours, Jiang Tao was good, he took two shifts off and one shift, and fainted at the construction site once, fortunately fainted on the ground, if he fell from above, his life would be gone!"

Zhang Mei was surprised, what kind of line is this, it's too dangerous!

As soon as she told Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan couldn't help crying, and went back to Jiang Tao and asked, "How can you do this......!

Jiang Tao knew that she was overwhelmed by her crying, and she could only explain to herself: "I don't think I think about it, I'm just hungry, and I have a little low blood sugar that day." ”

"Are you a doctor? You say it's okay, it's okay? I don't want to think about how dangerous it is, what if I faint while I'm working and falls from above?" Zhang Yan said that crying was even more fierce, and there was a tendency to stop.

Jiang Tao was scared to cry for her, so he had to promise her first.

By the time they said they were ready to eat, the noodles were already lumped.

The owner of the noodle restaurant heard it from the beginning to the end, and also persuaded him: "Young man, you can't be reckless, how important is money, just listen to a word of advice." ”

Jiang Tao sat there and nodded unruly, but unfortunately Zhang Yan didn't forgive him, he kept his face calm, and angrily picked all the shredded meat in the bowl to him, forcing him to eat it all.

After eating, I walked back, and there was an old man on the side of the road guarding the electronic scale, weighing five cents once, and standing on it could measure his height and weight.

Zhang Yan pulled Jiang Tao to say that she was 162 tall and weighed 49 kilograms, and Jiang Tao's 178 height weighed only 105 kilograms, which was about the same as Zhang Yan, so angry that Zhang Yan beat him.

"You can't be like this in the future, you can do what others do, don't be strong, next time I will pull you out and say, if you don't get fat, I won't do much to you, I will learn from you, I also treat myself badly, go to work overtime every night, add to twelve o'clock and one o'clock, see who can survive whom. ”

Zhang Zhiqiang gave Jiang Tao a look and asked him to ask for more blessings.

Zhang Yan saw him squeezing his eyebrows, and grabbed him again and explained: "Brother Zhiqiang, you have to help me watch him, if my brother doesn't pay attention to his body, then blame you for not being optimistic, I will bully Zhang Mei, but I will bully her!"

Zhang Mei stopped doing it on the side, "Why Yanzi, I didn't mess with you, why is he wrong, you are looking for me to settle accounts, you are a heavy color and light friend!"

"If you are lustful, I will also value you, who made you ugly!"

"You talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth. ”

The two girls instantly made a mess, and Zhang Zhiqiang and Jiang Tao shook their heads and laughed.

The four of them didn't take the car, they walked and rested, there was an alley on the way to the construction site to sell food, Jiang Tao went in and bought a boy chicken, two small chickens, fresh and tender, pickled and fried in the oil pot, someone on the construction site went to eat, they said it was delicious, Jiang Tao had long wanted to take Zhang Yan to taste.

Carrying the chicken, the four of them found a duck blood vermicelli shop, each of them ordered a bowl of vermicelli, and ate the chicken, and then Jiang Tao and Zhang Zhiqiang sent them to the car, and the two of them had to work night shifts and couldn't accompany them to shop.

Back in the dormitory at seven o'clock, the others are not there, and they should be working overtime.

There are cabinets for storing things in the dormitory, a total of eight small cabinets, one for each person, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei bought locks when they moved in, hid the passbook in the pocket of their clothes, locked it in the cabinet, and the two of them changed their clothes and went to the workshop.

Zhang Yan still couldn't rest assured that Jiang Tao was not at ease, "Meizi, you talk to your brother well, let him supervise my brother, alas, if only we weren't so poor." ”

"Yes, if we weren't so poor, my family wouldn't have to worry about family planning fines, and you and Brother Jiang Tao wouldn't have to worry about not being able to repay usury. ”

Inexplicably a little sad, the two of them didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Mei is a foodie, and suddenly remembered the chicken she ate today.

"Swallow, the boy chicken is so delicious, but it's a little more expensive, and when we have money in the future, we will eat chicken every day." ”

"Well, sooner or later, there will be that day. ”
