Yuan Peng let go of his hand and pushed, this person hurriedly retreated and slid to, then stood up, and hurriedly said: "You wait for me, I'll call our boss to clean you up, you wait for me." Then the beggar hurriedly rushed to invite their boss, and stood in front of Yuan Peng, surrounded by a group of beggars, quite the momentum of a beggar gang. The boss stood up and said, "I am the eighteenth generation of the beggar gang, the leader of the beggar gang, the nine-fingered god beggar Hong Qigong, who are you?" Occupy our territory and play tricks, who are you, please leave your name. ”

"It's not enough to be an outsider in the lower district," he said, and fell asleep on his side, ignoring the people around him.

"The beggars' housekeeping skills are to beat the dog stick and the eighteen palms of the dragon, and the deity uses the eighteen palms of the dragon to let you see and understand."

Yuan Peng stepped aside and said, "Pretend to be a ghost." ”

The beggar gang boss was still unconvinced, let go of his footsteps, squatted down in a horse step, forced his breath down, and a fart follower sound was released from the back anus. Yuan Peng just covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and the beggars around him just laughed a few times. The beggar boss looked at the beggars around him very boredly, and said, "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? I ate some raw and cold things last night, and I couldn't breathe, but now I have a good breath. The beggar boss breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he was enjoying it, and rushed forward and slapped it out. Yuan Peng turned over and sat upright, grabbed it with his side hand, and raised his foot up to point at his lower yin. The beggar boss looked down and immediately said, "You can't kick here, you can't kick here." Yuan Peng dragged him and shouted in pain.

"You have to practice ventilation and magic skills, stand aside and practice, and you have to disturb your lord's rest."

"Yes, yes, let go, let go, it hurts! Pain! Yuan Peng let go of a push, and the beggar stepped back in a hurry, stretched out his thumb, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai is good at kung fu, and you are the only one in the rivers and lakes who is better than my eighteen dragon-descending palms, amazing, powerful." Yuan Peng ignored him and fell asleep on his side.

As soon as it was dawn, Yuan Peng got up and put on his coat, left the overpass, and stood in front of the bus stop to wait for the arrival of the bus. A bus slowly approached and stopped in front of him. The front and rear doors of the bus are open, and the front and rear hug are closed. Yuan Peng stood in the crowd, squeezed onto the bus with great difficulty, and stood at the door. The car was crowded with people, the door slowly closed, started to leave the town, got off at the place of Songjiang Chedun, wandered alone on the street, looked left and right and didn't know where to go, and the heart was even more confused. Shanghai is different from Chengdu, where you at least know where you are going, but in Shanghai it is different, it is a blank face. When I walked to a place, I saw a factory recruiting workers at the door. Yuan Peng walked in and stood in front of the counter. The staff standing behind the counter raised his head to face Yuan Peng, who was standing in front of the counter, and said, "Hello, sir, are you here to find a job?" ”

Yuan Peng just nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Please wait a moment and fill in your name and place of origin." After filling out the information, Yuan Peng stepped back and sat on the bench behind him and waited. The peer who sat next to him said, "Brother, brother." ”

Yuan Peng just nodded at his peers around him. The peer said, "You're looking for a job, aren't you?" ”

"Well, you're the same."

"It's the same thing, I've been working on a construction site for a long time and I want to change jobs."

"It's the same with me, where do you work on the construction site? What kind of work does it belong to? ”

"I work on Chongming Island and belong to carpentry, so what about you, brother?"

"I'm in Luchaogang, I belong to the steel worker, in fact, it's good to change jobs, maybe it's because we have the same disease, we are all working on the construction site and want to try to change jobs," so they chatted hotly, and shouted behind the counter: "Yuan Peng." Yuan Peng got up and said, "Brother, I'll go first, and I'll talk again when I get back." ”

"yes, okay." Yuan Peng stepped forward and stood in front of the counter and said, "I am Yuan Peng." ”

"Please come with me," Yuan Peng followed behind the staff member, standing at the door of the office and knocking on the office door. In the office sat a man, dressed in a gray suit, white shirt, red tie, slightly chubby, square-faced, big-eared, thick-eyed, with piercing eyes, and a big big brick mobile phone erected on the desk next to him. The man looked up and said, "Please come in." The staff member turned sideways to face Yuan Peng, stretched out one hand and said, "Please come in." ”

Yuan Peng walked in and said with a smile: "Hello boss." ”

"Please be seated." Yuan Peng sat in front of his desk and looked at the boss in front of him. The boss looked Yuan Peng in front of him up and down, he was a spiritual guy, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You are Yuan Peng, you are quite energetic." ”

"It was Chairman Mao who once said that we are the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and we should be full of vitality."

"Well said, what education?"

"High school degree."

"High school education, you are an intellectual, I appreciate you, this kind of education should sit in the office."

"Starting from the grassroots level, one step at a time can we win steadily."

"Okay, you've passed, you wait outside, and then arrange accommodation."

"Thank you, boss." Then exit the office, it is difficult to find a good job, this is a person happy and a person sad, his friend stepped in with a low head and stepped forward, and said: "Yuan Peng, congratulations on your pass, but I, but I am a coolie, maybe this is my life, if my life is not good, I am destined to be poor for a lifetime." ”

"Brother, don't be discouraged, dare to fight with the sky, the fun is endless; Dare to fight with the ground, the fun is endless; Dare to fight with fate, the fun is endless, don't accept fate, fate is in your own hands, dare to fight, believe that you will get ahead. ”

"Alright," the man walked out, hunching his head. Yuan Peng stood up and looked at the back of this person slowly leaving, and he didn't know who to say to the bitterness in his heart. After a while, the boss, who was sitting in the office, walked out, gathered everyone in the hall, walked out in a column, stood on the side of the road, and waited for the vehicle to pick them up. It's late autumn, and there is a cool breeze outside, and sometimes there are scattered light rain hitting the face, which is so cold. They stood on one side of the road for a long time when a van drove up and they put their luggage packages in the trunk. Then he walked up and sat down. Yuan Peng ran away from home, and he didn't bring anything with him when he left, so it was convenient to get on the car with such a bare hand, and he was too lazy to move a lot of things, which saved a lot of trouble. As soon as they got into the van, the car started to start and get out of here.

The van quickly drove to a place in Songjiang, arranged a temporary accommodation outside the factory and signed a contract with them. It was getting dark, and Yuan Peng went downstairs alone to buy some toiletries such as quilts. This dormitory is very simple, walking into this room is a bed in an eight-person room, and outside is a very simple public toilet, they have to wait in a long queue to wash or brush their teeth, slowly moving forward. Yuan Peng went to bed after taking a bath and brushing his teeth, although this room was very noisy, but at this time Yuan Peng was very quiet, lying on his side on the bed. Yuan Peng still lay on his side on the bed, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Songjiang is an industrial park, Shanghai in 1984 was not as prosperous as it is now, there were pedestrians coming and going on the streets, and there were also people riding bicycles or coming and going, maybe they were office workers or pedestrians passing by, there were no high-rise buildings around, at most there were four- or five-story bungalows, and only in the city center did there were high-rise buildings. Early in the morning, the staff here led Yuan Peng and others into the factory, where 14 to 15-inch black-and-white televisions, watches, and cassette recorders were produced. Yuan Peng just entered this factory may not be very accustomed to it, because the line speed is too fast to cause the scrapping of the piece is inevitable, often scolded or blamed by the line chief is also a common thing.

When he got off work, the line leader left Yuan Peng alone. Yuan Peng stood in front of the line chief, drooping his head and waiting to be criticized. The line chief turned to face Yuan Peng and said, "Yuan Peng, take a look, look at it, these are all screws you played, either flower teeth, or scratches, tell me what the situation is?" ”

At this time, Yuan Peng felt very innocent and said: "Line chief, I am also the first time to come to the factory, the speed limit is very fast, and many of them are too late." ”

"It's been three days, it's too late, what the fuck do you say?" The line chief roared as he spoke.

"It's okay to have something to say, it's not for you to handle things like this, and no one taught me what to do when I first came," Yuan Peng suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I'm the line leader, I can deal with it as I like, what do you want? It's okay if things didn't work out, right?" said the line chief, slamming the shell to the ground.

"Damn, I'm quit," Yuan Peng didn't suppress the anger in his heart, shook his hand and prepared to leave.

"You don't want to do it, do you, okay, I'll take you to the assistant."

The line chief walked with Yuan Peng to the assistant's office, stood at the door of the office and knocked on the door. The assistant sitting in the office said, "Please come in." The line leader pushed open the office door and walked into the assistant's office with Yuan Peng. The assistant raised his head and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"He doesn't want to do it anymore, I'll take him to handle the resignation procedures."

"Okay, you go out first." The line chief exited the assistant's office and closed the door, and then the assistant looked at Yuan Peng and said, "Please sit down." ”

After Yuan Peng thanked him, he sat down at his desk. The assistant sitting behind the desk first looked at Yuan Peng, and then said, "What's your name?" ”

"Yuan Peng."

"Well, Yuan Peng, I have read the resume you wrote, graduated from high school, and belongs to intellectuals. You are a very idealistic person, ambitious, I am optimistic about you, you say, because of why resign? ”

"It's the first time I've entered the factory, I don't understand anything, the line leader doesn't ask the reason, and scolds the employees under him, and his attitude is not good."

"Well," the assistant just nodded silently and said, "Just finish all your questions, and I'll answer you all at the same time." ”
