Chapter 2 Finding a Hotel

They come from all over the world, and the lowest level of migrant workers have left their homes in order to realize one of their dreams. Some dreams are actually quite simple, that is, to be able to earn more money outside. Chen Feng sat on the sidewalk and took a nap. Soon someone pushed him and told him to give way. Chen Feng just leaned over and moved out of the way. The passengers were still able to pass by, and they didn't say anything, after all, they all knew the hardships of taking the green train. As people kept passing by, he had to stand up and go back to the smoking area. Chen Feng also lit a cigarette. After smoking, the troubles seem to be no less at all. He sat back on the car board, trying to sleep but couldn't sleep, staring blankly at his tired self in the mirror of the door and window.

The day dawned, first of all, a ray of light, and it was not yet certain whether it was moonlight or starlight, and then the light realm shone more and more, and the light became brighter and brighter, and it was believed that the earth was rotating, and the day was turning from the horizon. This is the first time that Chen Feng has seen the alternation of night and day. Outside the window, a flock of migratory birds are flying, they are in the shape of bows, and the birds are not famous. Like a flock of geese, they seem to be going far away. Birds are flying in the sky, following the movement of the train, and Chen Feng can always see this group of migratory birds outside the car window. They seem to be following the train south. They leave their familiar home and fly into the distance, and they may not know what the distance is. Chen Feng suddenly felt that he was also like this group of migratory birds, which migrated periodically with different seasons. Some migratory birds migrate along latitude and some along temperate zones. They leave their growing grounds and migrate from north to south. From one place, fly to another. Flying from city to city and not finding yourself.

After a day's journey, the train finally arrived at the final station, City A. It was the first time for Chen Feng to come to a huge city, and he followed the crowd and walked out of the underground tunnel. The super-dense crowd makes people panic, like a flock of crows, black and pressing, squeezing towards the exit. Also check the train ticket at the narrow exit. The crowd was like a flood on the dam, Chen Feng was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, but there were still people behind him urging him to hurry up and go to the front, there was no gap in front of him to drill. The ticket cutter is very neat, but there are many people behind, and he has to cut a knife. Chen Feng is like a prisoner who has been released from prison at the end of his sentence, waiting to be released.

The front is full of people moving, and passengers are shaking their tickets in their hands. "Comrade ticket inspector, give me some cuts first." The passenger shouted. The ticket inspector ignored them and just stared at the ticket. One of the people inside seemed to have lost his ticket. Shouting: "I have a ticket." Just lost in the car. When you enter the station, you need to check the ticket, and you need to check the ticket when you leave the station, and you don't have to live. "If you have a ticket, let me see it, and if you don't have a ticket, pull aside and let the person with a ticket go out first." "If you don't have a ticket, let me go out first." The passenger shouted. "I have a ticket, why don't you let me out? I still have urgent matters, and there are people waiting for me outside. "He tried to break in, but the armed police subdued him and escorted him into the inner room.

Order stabilized. The passengers saw the strength of the armed police and did not dare to break through. Chen Feng bought the ticket by himself, for fear of losing the ticket. The flow of people gradually diluted. Chen Feng finally reached the exit. The ticket inspector didn't look at him either, took his ticket, clicked, cut a corner on the train ticket and returned it to him. Chen Feng left the station and stood in the square. From time to time, he was asked if he wanted accommodation or if he wanted to take a taxi. came over one after another, Chen Feng didn't plan to deal with them, just go his own way. He didn't know what the purpose of this group of people was always pulling him to stay or take a taxi? Some may just make a few bucks, or they may have a larger conspiracy hidden.

Chen Feng wanted to leave the train station as soon as possible, but he didn't know where to go. Chen Feng has fellow villagers and relatives in City A, and he doesn't want to contact them and cause trouble for them. He had to find a place to stay now. When you get out of the train station, the first thing you have to do is find a cheap hotel to live in. Chen Feng walked into an alleyway, and he saw many signboards that said hotel accommodation. He entered a hotel. A middle-aged man asked, "Do you want to stay in a hotel?" Chen Feng nodded. I'll show you around the room. Chen Feng followed the middle-aged man into the corridor. After entering the hallway. The middle-aged man began to talk to Chen Feng about the rental price. "Our hotel has hourly rooms, couple rooms, daily and monthly rentals, which one do you want to rent?"

"I'll just rent the cheapest room." The middle-aged man heard that Chen Feng was going to rent the cheapest room and knew that he was not a big customer. Not as enthusiastic as before. "Didn't you?"

"Of course, you come with me." The middle-aged man took Chen Feng into a room, there was only one bed in the room, nothing else, and the room was airtight and very simple. "This is the cheapest room in our hotel, only 40 yuan, how many nights are you going to stay?"

"Isn't there a bathroom?"

"The bathroom is on that end." The middle-aged man pointed to the opposite side of the hallway. Chen Feng lifted the quilt on the bed, the quilt was very dirty, and mildew could be seen.

"Forget it." When the middle-aged man saw that Chen Feng was leaving, he said unceremoniously: "Let's go, this is the cheapest single room in City A, and there is no other place." Come in and ask for the cheapest room, give you the cheapest, and you can't afford to live in it, and you can't afford to sleep on the street. The middle-aged man sneered at Chen Feng. Chen Feng didn't care about him, he walked out of the corridor. I found another hotel. A young man at the cash register. He wears a white shirt with neat ends of his hair that gives him a clean look. "Are you renting a house?" The young man asked softly.

"Yes, do you want to rent a single room?"

"Yes, at 305, I'll take you to see it." Chen Feng also learned to be obedient this time, and did not say the cheapest room, but just a single room. Sometimes when you want to express your intentions, you can say them tactfully. The room is also relatively basic, better than the previous one, and there is a small window in the wall. Chen Feng is also not picky. Anyway, it's a temporary residence, and I asked, "How much is this house for a night?" ”

"How long have you lived? Stay two nights first. ”

"30 bucks a night. You stay for two nights and a $40 deposit. You give a hundred dollars. "Chen Feng didn't quite understand the meaning of this deposit, why they charged a deposit, but he still didn't ask, so he gave him a hundred yuan." Register your ID card. Chen Feng gave him his temporary ID card. Do you only have this ID card? ”

"Isn't this ID card okay?"

"Yes, too." He gave Chen Feng a receipt, gave him the key, and Chen Feng moved into the room. Chen Feng fell on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling, as if he was thinking a lot, but he didn't think about anything. He was really tired and slowly closed his eyes.

When I woke up, it was dusk again. His stomach rumbled, and he realized that he hadn't eaten all day. I wiped my face and began to search for food for my hungry stomach. He came to an industrial park, and he saw many people in blue overalls, coming out of the gate of the industrial park. It's like the school dismissal he's seen in school. Chen Feng found a restaurant to eat, and he also integrated into the workers. It says one meat, two vegetables, and five yuan. Chen Feng ordered a quick meal. Gobbling it up, and from time to time someone walked in. They all have meal cards, and the proprietress makes a stroke on the card, and they can go directly to order food.

The workers were young, about his age. Chen Feng thought he was about to blend in with these young workers, whose family had been farmers for generations. Is it also a transformation for him to become a worker? Chen Feng thought wildly. He finished his meal and walked down the street. The streets are no different from his county seat. A lot of garbage is on the side of the road, and various vendors line up on both sides of the road. They sell fruit, pirate books, download songs, and so on. This also belongs to the outskirts of the city. The floors are not very high. Chen Feng didn't dare to go far, for fear that he wouldn't find a hotel to go back to. He returned to the inn, the innkeeper and said with a smile, "Have you gone to dinner?" ”

"Yes. Are you the owner of an inn? ”

"No, I'm just a buddy."

"My name is Chen Feng, what's your name?"

"My name is Wang Peng, you can call me Dapeng."

"Roc, do you know what you can do here?"

"It's an industrial area, there are a lot of factories, it's easy to find things to do?"

"I'm just a temporary ID card, will the factory ask for it?"

"I'm not sure either, you can try it. However, large factories all require official ID cards. You can go find some black factories to do it. ”

"Black Factory?"

"The black factory is not black, it's just that its certificates are incomplete, but it will also pay you a salary."
