Chapter XII

On this day, when I got off work, the foreman surnamed Huang blocked my way: "Sister, why did you forget your brother when you entered the factory?" Don't go to see my brother either! ”

I looked at the wrinkles on his swarthy face and the jagged old corn-like yellow teeth, and felt that the sour and disgusting smell in the workshop just now had returned, and I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huang Tou obviously saw my disgusted expression, and his face changed instantly: "I've already worked here, so don't put any young lady's score for Lao Tzu." Dislike me? Think about it, are you still qualified to do this now on my land? ”

I was standing in the middle of the factory aisle, flanked by people commuting to and from work, but no one could help me. I felt as if I was being inspected, and everyone who passed by seemed to cast curious glances. Some people can't bear it, some people suddenly realize, and some people gloat.

I tried to explain, but my throat was dry and smoking, and my voice was so rough that it looked like someone had been crushed hard by someone with a foot on a withered leaf in autumn: "I'm sorry, I didn't." I just had some discomfort in my stomach. ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it! Chick, I warn you, don't toast or eat and drink! I don't care what you used to be, when you get here, you have to listen to me! I will give you two ways, first, give me all the first month's salary after opening the salary, and don't keep any of it; Second......" He narrowed his eyes and squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: "If you can't give up your money, you have to give up your people!" In the future, I will be on call, and you will do whatever you want! ”

I just felt the blood rushing to my head all over my body, the hairs stood on end, and the hair seemed to stand on end. I took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the humiliation, and said in a low voice: "Huangtou, if the salary is given to you, I won't be able to live next month." See if you can be accommodating, I'll ...... in a few months."

"You have a good calculation, do you want to drag it around? No way! The surnamed Huang refused.

He saw that I pursed my lips and didn't speak, and stepped forward with a grin: "You are not literate and hyphenated?" I guess I can know more about practice than others. Be smart, why bother with me and suffer all those bits and pieces? Put away your worthless face. Let me tell you, the person I fancied, no matter how hard she is, wants to escape from the palm of my hand. You don't seem to have suffered a lot of grievances, I am exalting you. Follow me, there are benefits for you. In the future, I will cover you in the factory, not only will I eat and drink for you, but no one else will dare to bully you again! ”

With that, he put that hand on my cheek again.

This time I was prepared to say that I couldn't let his stinky hands touch me again. I stepped back, and at the same time "snapped" and slapped him unceremoniously on the hand. Actually, I don't have a lot of strength, and I don't really hurt him. It's just that the place we are in is full of factory workers. Originally, we stood in one place and were a little conspicuous, but now we have attracted the attention of many people. Some people laughed and pointed when they saw it, some laughed and pointed, and some even screamed and whistled.

He couldn't hold his face, shook his hand and scolded angrily: "Little girl, don't you have a shame for your face?" Who borrowed your guts and dared to do it with me?! Don't worry, let's see, I'll let you know how good I am sooner or later! ”

After saying that, he pointed at me with a finger, and then turned his head and strode away hatefully.

I looked at his back for a long time, but I didn't feel scared anymore. I don't know what he's going to do to me, but I don't regret the slap just now, but I feel very happy. Hate only hates that he doesn't have enough strength, and it's better to beat him so that he can't lift this claw anymore.

But it didn't last long, and the next day, I understood what he meant by "awesome". I was told that I was transferred to the silk reeling workshop.

The so-called silk reeling is to soak the cocoon in boiling water and then extract the cocoon silk. The silk reeling workshop is the hardest place in the whole factory. Because silk cannot be peeled if it is not hot or cooked, it must be steamed at high temperature. The female workers who work here have steam pipes on their heads, and the working environment is like a steamer, and everyone is a small long bao steamed and roasted over a big fire. And because both hands are used together, there is no extra hand to cut the silk, and it is all necessary to bite the silk by teeth. Twisting, sheathing, knotting, continuous labor, coupled with skill and seriousness, can finally be knotted into a silk as thin as silver. Because your hands have to be soaked in water, they will be itchy and moult over time, and there will be a special smell that lingers.

I knew it was the yellow head who was deliberately manipulating me, but I didn't have any other way than to bite the bullet. I can't give up halfway, I still have to save money to study! Fortunately, the manager of the workshop saw that I was weak and a newcomer, and he didn't assign me too much work.

Rao is so, after persisting for two days, I already have symptoms of heat stroke, dizziness, vomiting, sweating, and no strength. The workshop manager looked at me sympathetically, and held back a sentence for a while: "You can't last long like this, or ...... Don't do it. ”

I smiled weakly and reluctantly said, "I'll go back today and have a good rest, maybe tomorrow will be fine." ”

She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

----------------------------------------

I walked slowly home by myself, my legs as heavy as lead, and I had to exert all my strength with every step. Step, fall, step, fall. What was originally a short journey was so difficult that it seemed that there would never be an end.

Although the weather in early summer has shown signs of heat, it is much cooler than the temperature in the silk reeling workshop. I remember when last summer just came, once, I was also walking on this road. It's the same weather like today, which has just cleared, and the sun is shining on people's faces. Many two-story buildings on the old street are in the shade. Cherry vendors sit on the side of the road, laying out small bowls, each filled with spiky red fruits. The cherries soaked in well water still have crystal clear water droplets, and people can't help but salivate.

I'm in a trance, was that really just a year ago? I tilted my head slightly, even to meet the glare of the sun. I didn't dare to bow my head, because I was afraid that if I bowed my head, tears would fall involuntarily.

It's time to get to the entrance of the alley, and I secretly cheer myself up. My only thought now is to draw a big bucket of water from the well, fill it first, and then take a cool shower.

At this moment, I saw a man dressed in a neat student uniform, standing in front of the Shikumen and looking around. He wasn't the only one there, but he was the only one who was full of disharmony with his surroundings, which seemed so abrupt. I read that right, that's Yang Renjie! I was shocked, how did he find here? I must not let him see my embarrassment!
