Chapter 60: On the Way to Work
Ah Le was taken by taxi to the door of the original contact electronics factory, came to the factory, there are many people here, after identity verification and interview, Ah Le was "hired", the leader said to him: "You are over thirty-five years old, you can only go to the branch to work, you take your luggage and immediately follow our bus to the branch." ”
Ah Le followed the bus in the factory to a remote town more than two hours away from Nanjing, this electronics factory is next to the road, it was already dark here, and he had dinner in the canteen of the factory, Ah Le was arranged in a dormitory for eight people, bought a quilt provided by the factory, and paid 50 yuan for the physical examination. In the dormitory at night, Ah Le sent another message to Xia Wei: "I don't feel right. ”
Xia Wei asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ah Le said: "It seems to have been deceived. ”
"Be specific."
"When I was recruiting online, I was told that I would earn 4,500 to 6,000 yuan a month, but when I got here, I was told that I would earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. It is also said that what is the top 500 enterprises in the country, but this factory is only a small factory that produces mobile phone shells. He also said that he was in the city, but now he brought us to this remote place. ”
Xia Wei understood what Ah Le meant, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you going out just to make more money?" The salary there is not much different from that in your hometown, so it is better to go back to Nanjing and look for a new job. ”
"I think so too, go back to Nanjing and continue to look for a job, you help me look on the Internet, I will contact here again, I have nowhere to go when I get to Nanjing." Ah Le was a little worried.
Xia Wei comforted: "If you bring your luggage to my house, you can find a job with peace of mind." ”
"Okay, I'll go straight to your county seat."
"Okay, I'll pick you up when it's time."
"Don't you have to go to work?" Ah Le asked worriedly.
Xia Wei said: "It doesn't matter, we all go to work early in the countryside, and it's rare for me to go home early, and it's okay to say hello to the director." ”
Ah Le said reassuringly: "Okay, thank you!" ”
"No thanks."
Ah Le arrived at the county seat where Xia Wei lived very early in the afternoon, Xia Wei just wanted to close the door and leave the unit, a dancer called and said: "Doctor Xia, I'll come over immediately, you can help me take a look, I have been menstruating for more than ten days, and it is not clean, only a small amount of blood, and it is hot underneath." ”
Xia Wei said without hesitation: "Okay, come here, I'll help you see where the blood is." ”
Xia Wei had to ask Ah Le to find a place to wait, and Xia Wei was waiting for the arrival of her dancers while preparing the materials for going to the countryside.
At more than three o'clock, the dancer came, Xia Wei took her to the gynecology department, explained the situation to Chen Xue, and took the dancer to the gynecological examination room. Xia Wei used a speculum to open the dancer's lower body, exposing the cervix, disinfecting it with iodine and then drying it with a dry cotton ball, only to see that there were several bleeding spots the size of a needle tip at the internal opening of the cervix, and then soaked gauze with metronidazole solution and stuffed it in, and gave ** medicine.
Then he came to the county seat with the car of his dancing friend.
The car took Xia Wei directly to Ah Le's location, only to see Ah Le with two big packages, Xia Wei hurriedly stepped forward to pick up a package and led Ah Le to the house.
The temperature outside was more than 20 degrees, but Ah Le was wearing winter cotton clothes, Xia Wei knew that a far-away traveler was helpless, he was afraid that it would be cold at night outside, and it was better to wear more than less.
Xia Wei hurriedly asked Ah Le to take a bath and change into a thinner dress. Ah Le opened the luggage package, looked for a long time, and still found a piece of clothing with a cotton liner and entered the bathroom.
Xia Wei originally planned to take Ah Le to her parents' house for dinner, but Ah Le insisted on refusing to go, so Xia Wei had to start busy with dinner. There was no food at home, so I had to cook a pot of red bean porridge, fry a few poached eggs, and eat the pickles at home.
After Ah Le took a bath, he helped Xia Wei repair the lights that didn't turn on. Ah Le took off the light bulb that was not lit and said to Xia Wei: "It's because the light bulb is broken, just buy a new one and install it." ”
Xia Wei said gratefully: "What I know is that this bulb can't be removed, so I haven't bought a new one." ”
Ah Le said: "I'll go to the Internet café tonight to stay overnight, put your luggage here, I'll come to pick it up tomorrow morning, my cousin has found me a good job in Nanjing, it's a courier company." ”
Xia Wei hurriedly said: "Where is this, don't be polite, you can go to my parents' place to sleep, my nephew's bed is empty, and he went to school in the city." ”
Ah Le looked at Xia Wei gratefully and said, "Isn't this okay?" I'd better go to an Internet café. ”
"Don't say it, it's settled, let's go to the street to buy light bulbs after dinner, so I can take you shopping."
After dinner, Xia Wei and Ah Le came to the street, Ah Le looked at the wide road and said, "Your streets here are really clean. ”
Xia Wei raised her face and said with a smile: "We are a national health city, and I also think it is quite clean." ”
"Oh, that's good."
Ah Le rushed to pay for the light bulb, and Xia Wei took the first step to pay.
When they came to the door of a shoe store with a reduced price, the loudspeaker shouted an advertisement for the sale, Xia Wei stopped and said to Ah Le, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
Xia Wei looked at the price tag, it was indeed very cheap, so she tried a few pairs, then picked a pair of shoes, and was about to pay, Ah Le took the first step to pay for the shoes. Xia Wei gave the money to Ah Le, but Ah Le refused to ask for it. Xia Wei had no choice but to give up.
Early the next morning, Ah Le and Xia Wei left the small county town with their luggage and went to the city.
In the afternoon, Ah Le called and said, "I've arrived at my cousin's place." ”
Xia Wei said, "Why did you arrive now?" ”
"I don't know the road, my cousin is sleeping in the morning on the night shift, I called him, and he didn't hear it. It was only later that I was contacted, so it was delayed. ”
Xia Wei said: "I'm relieved when you arrive, you can rest well." ”
"Okay, the company will arrange me in the branch, and I will start the night shift tomorrow."
Xia Wei said happily: "Okay, I'll go to work tomorrow, you have to pay more attention to take care of your body, how long is the night shift?" ”
"From seven p.m. to a.m., ten hours a day."
"Oh, it's hard, then you can rest early, good luck!" Xia Wei put down the phone and pondered for a long time: Ah Le, a migrant worker from a foreign country, left his hometown and came here alone, he said to Xia Wei: "I came to Nanjing, half to support my family, and half to you." Xia Wei knew that Ah Le was because he trusted himself, so he regarded himself as a family member, and he was not alone when he was alone. Ah Le has experienced too much on the way to work, he said: "Where there are relatives, there is no fear. ”
Yes, who would understand the hardships of being alone. Thinking about how the ancestors came here after the hardships on the road to escape from the wilderness, Xia Wei also knew a little from her grandfather.
When she was a child, Xia Wei heard her grandfather (who was also her grandfather) talk about how he worked and did business with his old lady from his hometown in Henan, and came here all the way.
Back then, a big flood in Henan flooded their homes, and the old lady and his brothers each carried a burden of belongings, led their families to work hard, all the way, the sky was a quilt, the ground was a bed, all the way to walk, all the way to work. The men did business, the women made clothes, and they searched for a place to stay. In the end, Grandpa chose this small county town nestled in the mountains, and at first bought a bungalow in the county seat to live in.
However, the peaceful days in the county were ruined by a bombing by Japanese planes, and after the Japanese bombing, the house where the grandfather and his family lived burned down, and overnight, the family was destitute again. Grandpa was afraid that the Japanese would bomb again, so he fled the small county town with his family, came to the foot of a mountain, and began to cultivate the wasteland, and since then, he has been living in that small mountain village.
