Chapter 7 Crowded Dormitories

After lunch, Arwen went upstairs to sleep. Zeng Chao and Luo Xiaohang fell asleep while lying on the chairs, and Chen Feng leaned over the table, regardless of the smell of oil on the table, and gradually fell asleep. I slept for almost an hour. The music played, and the proprietress turned on the stereo and urged the guys to get up. The men began to set up tables and stools, waiting for the workers to come and eat. After the tables and stools were set, it was almost five o'clock, and the workers gradually came to dinner. The dinner workers did not come in concentration. Some workers go to eat roadside snacks, vermicelli and the like. When there weren't many guests, the guy sat in the back and rested. The boss didn't know exactly what his name was, he only knew that his surname was Tu, and Boss Tu and the proprietress were sitting behind the cash register. When there are no guests, the guy rests, and he doesn't blame. Only occasionally the chef poked his head out and shouted, "Why hasn't anyone come in to serve the food for so long?" So he told the man to move and serve the food. Most of the workers who order food will come, and the factory owner will appoint employees to eat here. When a factory gets off work, the workers will be full of stools, and the workers will gather and disperse, come in a group, and leave in a group.

In the evening, Boss Tu will show a movie. The guys also started eating. All three of their meals were an hour later than the workers. This did not affect their appetite. After a tiring day, the guy ate more. For Chen Feng, who is thin and weak, it is very important to eat enough and grow meat. After eating, the guys finished the stage, and the day's work was over. Chen Feng thought about where he hadn't slept yet, he walked up to Boss Tu and said, "Boss, I live in a hotel now, and I want to move to a fast food restaurant." ”

"There's just a bed upstairs, so you can move in. It's so expensive to always stay in a hotel, how can it work. ”

"Okay, then I'll bring my luggage over."

Food and accommodation were solved, and Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "But we're very crowded upstairs, I don't know if you're used to it?" "I'm used to living in a hostel, and it's a small house where I live in a hotel." Chen Feng walked on the way back to the hotel and felt relaxed. He blocked the mouth of consumption, and the next thing should be to make money. Chen Feng wants to plan his life now. Working in a fast food restaurant is actually quite tiring, and every time he carries a bucket to collect a lunch box, his fingers are numb. The skins of his fingers were also peeled off when he peeled them. Now that he was stable, he thought he should call home. Chen Feng came to a public phone booth. I called the public phone in my hometown. He dialed the phone in the small shop in the village. The son of the small shop owner is his classmate, named Zhao Liang.

"It's Zhao Liang, I'm out to work."

"I heard you went out, are you okay there now?"

"I got a job in a restaurant."

"How's the salary?"

"There's a thousand dollars, and it's all about food and lodging."

"That's good, I want to come out too, but my parents told me to guard the store, and I can't get out. You still don't want to come out, it's so tiring outside. I work from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so I'll give you a call just after work. ”

"It's so hard, then you have to pay attention to your body. Are you going to talk to your dad? ”

"Yes, go and call him."

"Okay, you wait a minute."

Zhao Liang asked Chen Feng's father to answer the phone, but Chen Feng's father was not at home. Zhao Liang ran back and said, "Chen Feng, your father is not at home, he went to the mountain to carry trees." "Why is he still carrying a tree when he is not in good health?" I also advised him not to carry the tree, but he would not listen. Your dad always feels indebted to you. He wants to save some money, and when you come back, you can go to an adult college. Chen Feng's eyes were sour. I know. You tell my dad. I got a job, I studied for it, don't worry about it, if I want to study, I will earn my own money to study. ”

"Okay, I'll tell him."

"That's it, I'm hanging."

"Pay more attention to your body when you're outside."

"I will."

Chen Feng suddenly became heavy again. He originally wanted to go out to work, so his father wouldn't have worked so hard. But my father's fatigue did not lessen. The father wants a promising son, his ambition is unpaid, and he doesn't want to go home, but his ambition seems to be to make money. Chen Feng cleaned up the room and walked downstairs.

"I've found a place to live, and I'm moving to a fast-food restaurant." Chen Feng said to Dapeng.

"Okay, don't stay in a hotel." "It's expensive to live in a hotel, and you can't make a lot of money in the restaurant, so you have to move in early."

"Mmmm, thank you for taking care of me these days."

"Everyone is away from home, and it's right to take care of each other."

Chen Feng checked out. He came to the fast food restaurant with the box, but the boss was not there, and the proprietress took him upstairs. He went upstairs and was startled by his lodgings. Eight beds were set upstairs. The first one was the big bed of the boss and hostess. The others are single beds, and there are salt, sauce, vinegar and seasonings next to the bed. There is only a palm's distance between the two beds, and the height of the building is only the height of a person. The environment can be described as dirty and messy, and I can't imagine that the guy lives in this kind of environment. The proprietress pointed to the bed on the wall and said, "No one is sleeping on that bed yet, you go and sleep in that bed." ”

Chen Feng had a bit of a phobia of intensity, he had never lived in such a crowded dormitory. In a 20-square-meter area, there are 8 beds. I don't know where to put my luggage. The proprietress smiled and said, "The sleeping environment is indeed difficult, but the dormitory is the place to sleep." You can sleep here at night and work during the day. We also live upstairs. "The implication of the proprietress is that our boss still lives upstairs, so you employees should not be disgusted.

"It's okay, I'm just asleep in the dorm."

"You can also go and rent a house. However, renting a house here is quite expensive. ”

How can Chen Feng have the money to rent a house? He made his bed and went downstairs. Zeng Chao and Luo Xiaohang went out to play, and only Ah Wen was watching TV in the restaurant. Ah Wen asked, "Your surname is Chen." ”

"That's right."

"I heard the boss call you Xiao Chen, in our restaurant, the boss calls the young person Xiaozi. When I was almost 40 years old, my name was Ah Wen, and those who were older than me were called Lao Wang. You just came out to work, are you used to it? ”

"It's okay, it's just that the sleeping place is more crowded."

"That's good. The dormitory is just a place to sleep, and the rest of the time is not in the dormitory. Xiao Zeng and Xiao Luo both went outside to play, and when they were tired of playing, they went upstairs to sleep. Whoever has nothing to do stays in the dark corridor. ”

"Why don't you go out and play?"

"I'm old and it's not fun, they go outside to karaoke, jump, and surf the Internet. I didn't understand anything, I just stared at this TV. ”

Although Chen Feng came to the big city, he didn't know anything about the world of flowers outside. "One day, ask Xiao Zeng and Xiao Zhao to take you to play, so that you can feel the charm of the big city, but don't indulge. We both went out to work outside, and you see the two of them playing crazy outside. The money earned is not enough to spend on his own, and he has to borrow money from his boss every month. On the outside, you have to take care of yourself. Arwen admonished him like an elder. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Arwen went to open it. Zeng Chao and Luo Xiaohang saw Chen Feng. "Did you move in too?"
