Shanghai.

Although the construction of the expressway has been carried out to the east of the Pujiang River in 96, a large area of pastoral scenery can still be seen at this time.

Twenty years later, there is no shadow in the skyline full of high-rise buildings, and some are only sparse buildings in the new district, and occasionally the Oriental Pearl in the distance can be seen.

On the side of the new area near the west of the Pujiang River, due to the proximity to the old urban area, the economic situation is relatively much better, and the import and export trade is relatively concentrated in this area, similar to the light industry such as garment processing, so the migrant workers are mostly concentrated in this area.

In Jinyuan Town, there is a foreign trade woolen sweater processing enterprise called Feiyang clothing, which is a processing enterprise rather than a production plant.

The boss plus the employees are only about 100 people, the accountant and cashier, plus the workers in several workshops, plus four middle-aged aunts who are in charge of the meal.

The machine repair workshop is the most important workshop in addition to the factory director's office, of course, the machine mechanic is also the most important type of work, the highest price, and the requirements are naturally not low.

Don't look at the hundred and ten workers, but the mechanic has only one master, two apprentices and three people, the usual flat knitting machine salary is less than 100 yuan a day, but the daily wage of the mechanic is in the early 100s.

Liu Shulin has been trying to find a way to enter the machine repair workshop.

The three brothers of the old Liu family, the eldest Liu Shuhua graduated from university and was assigned to stay in a state-owned enterprise in Yi'an City, the second and third were working in Shanghai, and the second Shulin was originally a stonemason, but later entered the garment industry.

Although the two brothers are begging for food in the garment industry, but not in the same factory, Liu Shulin is competitive, taught himself the design process in the sweater factory, and since he knew that the wages of mechanics are high, he has been trying to enter the machine shop as an apprentice.

It's just a pity that there are more monks and less porridge, and he is not the only one in the detailed machine repair workshop.

"Liu Shulin, why are your hands so fast! I haven't been half your job this morning. ”

The weather in August was extremely hot.

If it weren't for the two old air conditioners that had been turning, the indoor temperature would have reached 38 or 9 degrees.

The buzzing sound of the manual flat knitting machine fluctuates with each other, although it is not sweating profusely, but the people are a little restless.

In the corner by the window, a young man about one hundred and seventy-eight years tall, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wore a white cotton vest on his upper body, and his back was already soaked, revealing his strong chest and abdomen.

I saw that the movements of his hands were unusually fast, and the error rate was obviously lower than that of the surrounding workers, and the flat knitting machine workers in the workshop were almost all about 20 or even eighteen or nineteen young people, and girls accounted for most of them.

There are three brothers in the old Liu family, even if Liu Shulin is the most burly, the third uncle is even just over one hundred and sixteen tall, and the eldest is only about one hundred and seventeen, and both of them are thin and weak, only the second child has been begging for a living in the mud since graduating from junior high school, and he has a good body.

Different from the eldest and third, Liu Shulin's personality tends to be introverted, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and his temperament is gentle, but those who are familiar with him know that there is a volcano hidden in this handsome and kind appearance, and his fiery temper is also a headache.

The one who spoke was a young girl of about 20, tall and tall, standing beside Liu Shulin and not looking low.

Xu Wenjuan has only been in the factory for a year, and Liu Shulin actually came in a few months later than her, but from the moment he came in, Xu Wenjuan noticed it.

Young girls are not married, it is not strange that they like to look at handsome boys, with Xu Wenjuan's height and appearance, she has not even considered ordinary boys, and she also has high Chinese, so her natural vision is a little higher.

In her hometown of Lucheng, it is naturally a big problem that the 21-year-old girl does not even have a partner, although Xu Wenjuan is not in a hurry, but seeing that everyone around her has a companion, she is naturally a little impatient.

Liu Shulin didn't look like he said, after getting along for so long, he could also see that he was a very real person, and other workers always had to go out shopping after work, skating or something, and he was the only one who stayed in the workshop to read the design drawings and learn the craft.

Others don't know, but Xu Wenjuan, who also doesn't like to be lively, paid attention to it for a long time, she knew that this boy seemed to be very different from others, and gradually developed some good feelings in her heart, and after a long time, the good feelings naturally turned into attachment.

If I don't see the Buddha for a day, I feel empty and missing something, but Liu Shulin's age is obviously a few years older than the people around him, it stands to reason that he must be married at this age, Xu Wenjuan and Liu Shulin are not familiar with each other, so they are naturally a little apprehensive.

In case the other party is really married, then there is nothing to do with her.

"You're not slow!"

After saying this, Liu Shulin didn't raise his head, and continued to stare at the knitting needle in front of him, still swinging his arm constantly.

Xu Wenjuan glanced up at him, it was not much different from a resentful woman, but Liu Shulin had never seen it.

But in the place opposite the two of them, but separated by a row of flat knitting machines, Xu Shilong was a little surprised, he was not a fool, and he could naturally see that Xu Wenjuan had taken a fancy to that Liu Shulin.

If you want to say familiar, Xu Shilong and Xu Wenjuan must be more familiar, the factory where the two entered together at the beginning, usually communicated, and the most important thing is that both of them are from Lucheng, a town or even a villager.

It's close to the right door, Xu Wenjuan has been good-looking since she was a child, and she has a good temperament, and everyone who talks about the matchmaker in her hometown has broken through the threshold, Xu Shilong is about the same age, and naturally likes it in her eyes, but it may be because the village is too close, Xu Wenjuan doesn't like him at all, it's more of a "hometown" feeling.

Originally, Xu Shilong and Xu Wenjuan entered this factory with five or six fellow villagers, and the rest of the people either had an object or Xu Wenjuan couldn't look down on them.

His appearance is not bad, his height is enough, and there is this relationship in it, as time goes by, Xu Wenjuan grinds and grinds out feelings.

But the good times didn't last long, in less than a few months, since Liu Shulin entered the factory, Xu Wenjuan's eyes didn't seem to leave him at all, and Xu Shilong, who had been paying attention, could naturally see at a glance that Xu Wenjuan was moved.

"Wen Juan, let's go out to eat and have fun in the evening!"

This day happens to be Friday, and the next two days are the only weekends in August, not to mention Xu Shilong, but all the workshops except Liu Shulin, I'm afraid they are all looking forward to getting off work early and going crazy.

If it was usual, Xu Wenjuan would definitely not shirk, after all, Xu Shilong shouted in his voice, and the workers in the workshop, especially those in a dormitory, could hear it, and everyone would definitely go out to play together, but the corner of Xu Wenjuan's eyes swept over Liu Shulin, who had never raised his head, and his heart moved, and he didn't agree.

"Go ahead, I'd better have a good rest, I'm tired to death these days!"

When Xu Shilong heard this, he was angry in his heart, and the people around him naturally saw a little way, and they all knew that Xu Shilong was pursuing Xu Wenjuan, and they immediately started to make a fuss, but Xu Wenjuan seemed to be determined not to go out, and everyone was not in a rut.

But Xu Shilong knew that Xu Wenjuan didn't go out completely because of Liu Shulin, and with a snap in his hand, he ripped off the sweater that had just been half-knitted and walked out angrily.

Xu Wenjuan also knew that Xu Shilong was angry, but she gritted her teeth and didn't move, but her face had a few more rosy colors, and the workers next to her stopped coaxing when they saw that the two were unhappy, and suddenly the whole workshop was only left with the hum of the swinging machine.

After work at half past five.

Liu Shulin was still the same as usual, and after hurriedly eating, he returned to the workshop the same way.

Since entering the sweater industry, he has spent twice as much time or even more learning the craft and design outside of flat knitting machines, and even taught himself some of the mechanics.

The living conditions of the old Liu family are not good, Liu Shulin has been married and divorced, and he is more stable than most people of this age, not to mention anything else, the new building of the old Liu family is what he earned back brick by brick.

The third uncle came out relatively late, so he was able to give the family some subsidies in the past two years.

As soon as he approached the workshop, Liu Shulin had not pushed the door open, and it was dark in front of him, and then a figure had already crashed into his arms, and a faint fragrance was inhaled into his nose.

immediately pushed away the figure in his arms, looked down and saw that it was Xu Wenjuan, only to see that her face was flushed, and she turned her head and ran out without waiting for Liu Shulin to speak.

Xu Wenjuan is interesting to herself, Liu Shulin knows it, but after experiencing a failed blind date marriage, and having a daughter, he doesn't dare to get involved lightly, even if Lao Liu and his wife have told this matter three times and twice.

"Huh?"

After walking into the workshop, Liu Shulin found that there was an extra white porcelain plate on the table where he put wool.

"Xu Wenjuan-"

He muttered softly.
