Not all beauties end badly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Youling is a beauty, Su Youling's story is not shocking, but it is also a hundred turns, such as the singing voice of Tsing Yi on the stage, ups and downs, tactful throat, sometimes mixed with a rhyme, the listener only feels that the clouds are flowing water, a glance for ten thousand years, and the person who does not realize that the singing is nine deaths.

Su Youling has always said that her life is like a mustard, others treat her as grass, and she also treats herself as grass.

Su Youling was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl when she arrived in Shanghai, her parents passed away one after another, and she couldn't live under the fence, so she went to Shanghai alone. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old Suzhou girl, still wearing embroidered shoes that she had stepped on in the mud, was walking at Shanghai Railway Station in early spring and February with her luggage, and Su Youling's eyes at that time were full of young carelessness.

In the third and second years, there were many yarn factories in the Hongkou area, and it was a time for large-scale recruitment after the New Year. For people at that time, it was quite pretty for women to work in the factory, representing self-reliance, at least respected, so Su Youling went to apply for the recruitment as a spinning worker, followed a master to learn spinning, and ate and lived in the factory. The new foreman's salary for two months is very low, and Su Youling wants to have a place to settle down first. Their canteen is steamed to one grid, one person has one meal and two rice, that is, two or two meals, and then buys vegetables to eat with food coupons. Su Youling and her master usually go back to the factory to eat in a lunch box, the factory is a room for eight people, divided into bunk beds, and the master and apprentice are both on the bottom of the window position, and they live on the opposite side.

Her master's surname is Gu, his name is Gu Xiaochun, three or four years older than her, and she calls her Sister Gu. Gu Xiaochun doesn't talk much, but he is a good person. After Su Youling entered the factory, what made her feel the most dazzling was the embroidered shoes she wore on her feet, which seemed to be an unbearable mark, which was not in harmony with the factory environment at all; She didn't dare to use that bit to buy a pair of shoes, and she could only save money before receiving her salary. That day, Gu Xiaochun turned out a pair of black cloth tripping shoes from the box, which were still new, let Su Youling try them, and wear them first. "I haven't learned the ability yet, but I put on the master's shoes first." Su Youling joked, stretched her feet and saw that many female workers in the factory were wearing these black cloth shoes. Gu Xiaochun smiled, "What's there, there should be between sisters." "I washed my lunch box.

The yarn factory is in three shifts, Su Youling was very unaccustomed to it at first, especially the night shift, and Gu Xiaochun dragged her up several times in the middle of the night. The weather in early spring made people particularly sleepy, and when she couldn't stand it, she hid and cried when she was alone, and fell asleep while crying. During that time, she had no time to leave the factory door, and there were those machines in her mind all day long, and then when she thought of when it was time to go to work, she felt a sense of panic, as if the factory supervisor "Namowen" was about to be scolded. As the monotonous and busy days continued, she suddenly felt a sense of dazedness......

Later, I slowly got used to it. After receiving the first salary, Su Youling still took Gu Xiaochun to the market, bought shoes and returned them to Gu Xiaochun, and the two bought some daily necessities such as towels and soap. Su Youling said something in the candied fruit shop and invited Gu Xiaochun to eat the plum olives, Gu Xiaochun smiled, and ate three or two grains, saying that she didn't like these snacks originally. In fact, Su Youling doesn't like snacks so much, she mainly wants to invite Gu Xiaochun, and by the way, please invite herself. This was the first money she had earned, and she had experienced the difficulty of reaching out to people before, so she also wanted to treat herself to something when she got the money. The female workers in the factory seem to have the same hobby, and often go out to buy snacks in their spare time, and women naturally like to eat snacks, even if she doesn't love them too much, today she still buys some like them, and she is very happy, but when she goes back, she also gives it to a group of sisters who live together, and she doesn't eat a few grains.

After three repeated shifts, Su Youling also settled down from the chaos, and it was almost April at that time. After washing her hair in the afternoon, she sat on the window grate, her hair was really enviable, black and shiny, a little brush hair oil, a lock of hair slid in her hand - her hair is very fresh, usually hidden in the hat, never see the light of day, finally washed her hair and put on the sun and blow, and she is very naughty.

Behind their factory is the rape field in the suburbs, and in the blink of an eye, there are a large number of vigorous golden butter rape flowers. Spring has arrived inexorably, the warm wind blows through the window lattice, and some people are flying kites in the distance, screaming and laughing in the smell of rape flowers. She wanted to take a nap, but her hair was not yet dry, so she could only lie on the table and squint a little, and then she began to dream, and the dream was a life that was even more panicked and frightened than reality, and the fierce scolding of "Namowen" was incessant...... She was awakened by the sound of something banging on the window, whether a kite was caught in her window hook here, or a window hook high up. Not far away, a young man walked over, splitting the rape flowers, while collecting the kite string, obviously this is his kite, she still asked him with the confusion of her dream: "Do you have a kite?" While standing on the table to untie the kite, a string was picked, and it fell off, "Thank you, thank you!" The young man smiled and agreed, and the children with whom he was playing had come running to pick up the kite on the ground, and dragged him to hurry up and fly it, and she looked at him, and he waved his hand at her, and went to play with them. There were a few shoe prints on the table, and she looked for a rag to wipe it, and then remembered that the hat and bib at work had not been washed, so she took a basin and went to the faucet outside.

She also looked at the environment after settling down, in fact, working in the factory is monotonous, hard and boring, the sisters who live with each other go back home, some go out to send letters to relatives, and she doesn't seem to have anyone to worry about, in addition to sleeping in her spare time, she is in a daze, and some sisters are also free to go out together to go around, buy some small bits and pieces. She is also snorting now, bored and flustered, always having to do something to pass the time, because she is busy at work, and she feels very bored when she is free, so she often sits by the window and eats melon seeds, looking at the kites in the sky outside.

She now always has some pastries on hand and eats two in the middle of the night or when she comes back from work to cushion her hunger. There is a shop called Zhao Xingji, his osmanthus cake is very delicious, but the sisters say that his bean paste dumplings are the signature, and the osmanthus cake is not delicious, but she only likes this osmanthus cake, and has bought it twice. Once I went to buy with Gu Xiaochun, the guys in the store estimated that there was something to go, but no one came to greet him, Su Youling "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" After shouting twice, a young man wearing a bib sheet came out of it, who looked like a little master who made cakes, and promised to ask them what to buy. Su Youling said that she had always felt that the osmanthus cake here was good, and the young man smiled, saying that it was good to calculate the banknote and give her an extra piece of osmanthus cake, "If it's delicious, come often!" "Ouch, thank you!" "You're welcome, take the ......" Su Youling took the pastry and looked at the young man with a smile, it was the young man who flew the kite a few days ago, he was not the pastry master here, and he made the osmanthus cake? The young man also remembered her, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded to her, she smiled, and walked out of the store with Gu Xiaochun in her arms.

The taste of this osmanthus cake is faint, sweet and silky. Coming back from the roaring workshop in the middle of the night, dragging her heavy and tired body, the spring night breeze blew in through the window, leaning on the corner of the bed to eat two pieces of osmanthus cake, and falling asleep with that sweet aftertaste, it was not a comfort for her. She thought that this osmanthus cake must have been made by the young man, and asked him when she wanted to buy it again, but she didn't see him that time, so she was making cake balls in the back, so she said playfully to the guy on the counter: "Your master's craftsmanship is really good, what kind of recipe is used, and the osmanthus cake is so delicious?" "The osmanthus cake is made by my master Xiao Zhao, girl, you can really know the goods, and you will taste good when you taste it!" The guy said as he weighed the cake, and she widened her eyes, "You can give me one more cake, I am also an old customer." "Ouch, that's not a girl, we are all small businesses, you know ......" "A few days ago, Master Xiao Zhao gave me an extra piece of cake!" She is half-true and half-false, people only think she is innocent, and she just wants to send her away quickly, "That's impossible, Master Xiao Zhao is busy making cakes all day long, where will he come to the front." Girl, you can take care of our little business......" "Stingy! She brushed the pastry, glared mischievously at the fellow, and went out humming a tune.

After receiving her salary this time, she made a new dress from the tailor, a pink short, and became more and more pretty.
