The next morning, when I went to work, Sun Juan hadn't gotten up yet, I told her that there was a new film in the video hall next to our factory, and asked her to watch it in the morning, wait for me at the factory gate at noon, and we would have dinner together. Sun Juan agreed, turned around and went to sleep again.

The material library is busiest at two times a day, when the morning goes to work and the night shift at four o'clock in the afternoon, the team leader comes to pick up the materials. After finishing his work, he followed the instructions of Planner Liu to re-open a new account of the material library and register the inventory one by one. When I was done, I looked at the watch and it was time to eat, so I quickly washed my hands and locked the door, and ran to the gate of the factory. I went to the video hall across the road to watch, and the old man at the gate asked me for a ticket, and I told him to find someone, but the old man blocked the door and wouldn't let me in.

I stood on the side of the road and thought for a while, for some reason, the more I thought about it, the more I felt unsteady, go back to the dormitory and look at it, and find Sun Juan to see her to be at ease. Ten minutes away, a moment away. In the dormitory, only Li Mei, who worked the night shift, was sleeping, I pulled the mosquito net on my bed, there was no one inside, I bent down to look under the bed, and Sun Juan's luggage was gone.

Sun Juan is gone.

I looked at the empty bed blankly, Sun Juan was still lying on the bed in the morning, how could I say that I would leave? There was a note on the pillow, which Sun Juan left for me.

Nan: I'm leaving, I'm not waiting, you won't quit, I want to go outside, find a strange place, and live a good life. Maybe I'm wrong, so let me start over.

Settle down and will write to you.

Sun Juan

For a whole afternoon, my heart felt like it had been hollowed out. My best friend, just disappeared from me. She was right, I would not resign, building an army is like a ship, and I am willing to be a harbor, I am not so determined to give up the existing stable life. And Sun Juan, like a child who wrote her homework wrongly, changed a blank sheet of paper and started over. Although the future is uncertain, I still admire the courage to break the boat.

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, basically no one came to the material library, I sat alone in front of the window in a daze, and Liu Planner didn't notice when he came in, he coughed, which startled me.

"Xiao Zheng, what do you want? So fascinating. ”

I quickly got up: "Didn't think about anything. ”

"Miss your little Su!"

"No, no."

"Hehe, I'm sorry, isn't it normal to think?"

I can't argue any more. Remembering the lock I bought last night, I quickly took it out of my bag.

Planner Liu glanced at it and nodded: "This kind of padlock will do." What about invoices? I'll sign it, and then I can sign it with the factory director to get the money financially, and you are the person who handles it, and you have to sign one. ”

I gave him the list, and Planner Liu looked at the list and looked at me: "This is a receipt, and the receipt cannot be reported." ”

"The lock seller said that he would increase the tax on the invoice, and I thought that a lock, a few dollars of things and a tax would not be cost-effective, so I didn't ask for it."

"If it's not cost-effective, you have to ask for it, this is a financial system."

"What then?"

"I can't report it." Planner Liu put the receipt on the table, looking like a businessman.

"Master Liu, don't forget it, a few dollars of things, forget it."

"You young people still have to pay for public things, you young people, remember in the future, no matter how expensive it is, you have to ask for an invoice."

"Okay."

"I'll take a look at the ledger you made, are you done?"

"It's over."

I took out the new ledger and showed it to Planner Liu, and I marked each subject clearly with the original leftover label paper, so it should be fine.

Sure enough, after reading it, Planner Liu nodded with satisfaction: "It's worthy of being a technical school student!" Not bad! ”

"And." Planner Liu changed his words: "The waste recycling of the branch also belongs to our material library, and the production team will hand it over here every once in a while. ”

"Do you still need to keep accounts?"

"It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, it's some waste anyway, waste needles are used in turnover boxes, and syringes are packed in plastic bags that contain wrapping paper."

"Okay."

"If you have anything to do, just go upstairs to the office and find me."

"Got it."

Planner Liu left, and I continued to stare at the window in a daze. Why hasn't Jianjun come back, as soon as Sun Juan left, there was a kind of loneliness after the excitement had dissipated, and she was extremely lonely. Where can Sun Juan go? Really going to the South? I remembered that a few years ago, I came to the provincial capital to attend a technical school with my luggage, at that time, Sun Juan, like me, came with the idea of reducing the burden on my family, and now, Sun Juan left her hometown for herself, so I feel a lot more comfortable when I think about it. I hope she's well.

On the weekend, Jianjun still didn't come back, so I took the car back to see my mother alone.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw my mother sitting in the courtyard reading the newspaper, holding a magnifying glass in her hand, and reading words in her mouth, reading very seriously. A vine was added to the center of the courtyard, and the trellis was propped up with four thick bamboo poles, connected horizontally by wire and wooden strips. The thickness of the tree's rhizome looked like it had been transplanted from somewhere, and there were already some new vines winding upwards around the bamboo poles.

"Mom, did you get it?"

"I don't have that much ability, it's the guards and the guards, and the two of them have been busy all day."

After Aunt Guan died, Wei Min often came, and sometimes he came to see if he had nothing to do after work, and my mother was used to not closing the courtyard door during the day, saving Wei Min from having to call the door. Listen to my mother, Wei Min is preparing to get married on National Day, and the object is the secretary of the Youth League branch of the electric fan factory, who is very capable, and he is still the 38 red flag bearer in the district!

"I'll enjoy the blessing of my son for your aunt."

Early on Sunday morning, my mother called me up: "When you come back, give me a hand and make some quilts for Weimin." ”

After breakfast in a hurry, my mother and I rolled up the bed cover, scrubbed the bed board, and spread a large blanket on it, and finally, my mother carefully took out a few pieces of white cotton cloth that had been washed and washed from the cupboard, pulled out one and let her and I lay out the bed, and then dragged out a large plastic bag containing cotton from under the bed.

"Look at this cotton, is the velvet long?" My mom tore off a small ball of cotton and held it up to me, and there were long filaments of filaments in the tear.

"Is it better to be long or short?"

"Of course it's better, and the longer the better." My mother boasted like a melon seller: "I found several stores to find such good cotton, and I bought more than 20 catties!" Two shops and two covers are enough, come, you can help me hold some points. ”

Cotton has been processed into a quilt size of a unit, my mother gently took out one from the top of the bag, let me and her put it in the quilt flat, open it little by little, after tidying up, my mother covered a bed of red dragon and phoenix auspicious satin quilt on it, the snow-white quilt on all sides turned up, red and white, my mother looked at it and nodded: "Good-looking!" ”

My mom threw me the white cotton thread sewn with the quilt from the end of the bed: "Lead the thread." Now the eyes are not good, and it will take a long time. ”

I led the wire and handed it to my mother, and my mother said, "Introduce another one, you can also learn to sew, and you can use it later." ”

I looked at the quilt on the bed, and suddenly I was interested, and I didn't feel like I could say: "It's really boring!" ”

My mom looked up at me, "What's not interesting?" ”

I led the way and said, "Get married, as soon as you get married, you will become an adult, have children, raise children, just like you and my dad." ”

"What's wrong with that? Do you think it's bad? ”

"It's not bad, you raised me, I will get married and have children again, and when the children are older, I will marry and regenerate, what does it mean."

"So what's interesting about you?"

"I can't say it, I just feel that living like this for a lifetime seems to have some shortcomings."

My mother looked at me while sewing the quilt and pulling the thread high: "What's missing?" Don't worry about food or clothing, what is missing? ”

I drew the line and asked my mom, "How long?" ”

"It's about the same as a quilt."

I measured it, broke the thread, pulled the knot, and started from one side of the quilt to learn from my mother's example, and slowly sewed it. My mother stretched out her head uncomfortably and looked at it: "The stitches don't need to be too tight, and the quilt is broken." ”

Before I finished sewing half of one edge, I pricked the hand that was holding underneath, and I shivered in pain. My mom laughed: "Let you slow down, slow down, or pricked." Two more times will be it. ”

I stopped, pinched the wound to stop the bleeding: "Mom, how do you think of your life?" Interesting? ”

"What do you want?"

"It's when this life is coming to an end, I don't regret it when I think about it, and I didn't come in vain."

"Oh." My mom finally understood: "In that case, I won't regret it in my life, it's interesting." ”

"You're interesting?" I didn't want to hit my mother, but she didn't see anything else in her life except to suffer hardships and poverty.

"Of course!" My mother handed me the stitches and asked me to lead the threads for her, and by the way, she straightened up and glared at me: "Now that the country is peaceful, we old guys have helped." ”

My fingers stopped bleeding and I picked up the needle and continued sewing.

"Xiao Nan, is there something wrong with you?" My mom asked me uncomfortably.

"It's nothing."

"Why do you still feel bored, and you're having trouble with Xiao Su?"

"No, a good classmate of mine resigned."

"Oh, why? Bad work? ”

"No, I just don't want to do it."

"And what is she doing?"

"I don't know."

"Are you looking at your eyes hot? If you don't do a good job, your work is boring, but if you quit, it's interesting? ”

It seems that it is difficult to communicate with my mother, I can't tell her, Sun Juan and I are so desperate to live for ourselves in our hearts, and we can re-choose what we want after resigning, whether it is good or bad, the most important thing is our own, nothing. However, unlike Sun Juan, I don't have to sacrifice for my family now, but I have more reluctance to build the army.
