[In fact, a person's life is a constant exchange of interests. It's just that some people will change, and the more they change in this life, the better; Some people don't know how to change, and they will get worse and worse. 】

In the spring of 1983, an open-air construction site of a timber mill in northern China

Bingyun leaned against a wooden plank against the stack, she had nowhere to retreat, so she stood there with it diagonally in her arms, not stacking it up or putting it down.

The workshop director sat down on a protruding wooden stack next to her, with his thighs resting on her legs:

"Sit here and rest for a while." The director patted the little bit left. Bingyun didn't make a sound, pushed the board from his left hand to his right hand, still holding it. The director looked at her with interest, and leaned his leg back against hers. Bingyun's heart tightened, her legs tightened, the man laughed, and his legs left her legs: "You don't want to beat me anymore?" You said that if I really wanted to bully you, you would be able to beat me with such a board? ”

Bingyun didn't speak, and said in his heart: "Then it depends on where to fight!" ”

"Where do you want to fight? Is it hit on my head, or is it hit on my life? The man stood up, twisted his arm around the waistband of his trousers, looked at her, and laughed playfully and wickedly: "Bingyun, I don't know how stubborn you are!" If you look at our workshop, won't I be the best for you? There are thousands of people in our factory, and the eldest girl is getting old, but don't I Ding Shugui take a fancy to you? The face was next to her: "Huh? ”

She didn't speak, holding the board in her arms, and lowered her head to pick up the thorns on her hands: Fancy it? It's yours! It's shameful not to know. My son is older than her, and it's shameless to have this kind of thought about her! Just take a fancy to her, do you dare to be so sassy about others? It's the villain! Cheap embryo! She plucked the thorns from her hands with great vigour, and these small wooden thorns that looked thinner than a strand of hair were so powerful that they could pierce her hands through the thread and gloves, and her hands were covered with such thorns every day, and she had to pick them with a needle every night when she got home.

"Look at these hands", her hands were caught: "What kind of rough work is this?" ”

She didn't say anything, she didn't move, she rolled her eyes and stared coldly at the man, and the hand let go a little curtly. She went on to pluck the thorns from her hands. But those damn thorns can't be plucked clean, and when they are plucked, they will be tied again tomorrow, as if thorn picking has become a part of her life.

The man who let go of his hand sat down on the protruding board again: "Bingyun, you said that you hold these boards all day long, and you are as tired as a donkey and a horse, what are you more energetic?" There's a good job you don't do. If I say a word, I can let you be an inspector tomorrow, you wait for this factory to be mine, I will let you enter the organ and be the secretary of the Youth League branch in one sentence! ”

Bingyun couldn't help but stop picking thorns to look at the man.

"What do you see, don't you believe it? Look at these eyes! In this workshop, it's not my word to change your job! I'll really make you an inspector tomorrow. He looked at her, "But you have to promise me." Follow me. ”

"You just said that the factory will be yours in the future, what do you mean?"

"Haha......" the man laughed, "Scared, huh?" I'm telling you, sooner or later, this factory will be mine. He glanced at her, "You don't believe it!" Do you know how I became the workshop director? It was my uncle and our chief who won by playing mahjong. There's a lot going on here! Isn't this going to be contracted soon, I told my uncle, and asked him to win the contract rights for this factory for me no matter what. At that time, I will be the director of this factory, and I will not have the final say on what work I arrange for you. ”

"Win? What to win? The surprise made her forget her silence and opened her mouth to ask.

Ding Shugui looked at her and smiled proudly: "Girl, don't you understand?" You're still naïve! He stood up and patted his buttocks: "I can't tell you this, it's complicated." I only tell you Bingyun, this factory will be mine sooner or later, you follow me, and when I divorce my daughter-in-law, I will marry you. When the time comes, I will let the leader of our bureau be the marriage introducer for us," the speaker approached again, and Bingyun straightened the board in his arms, just blocking his face. Ding Shugui stretched out his hand to pull the board open, and continued: "When the time comes, you can have as much scenery as you want." You're the highest-ranking lady of the largest factory in our district—"

"Director Ding, can you really win the contract by betting? Not from open competition? ”

Ding Shugui looked at the questioner's serious face, and felt that his words seemed to be a bit too much, but he didn't think so: the poor girl knows a fart! How dare she go up? No one cares about it. Now that I've said it anyway, I've just said it thoroughly, and let this girl know what energy is: "Competition? Isn't gambling also competition? He senselessly hooked his fingers and dusted off the sawdust chips on his body: "This is competition these days." Those officials play mahjong together, you think they are playing, they are doing business. You have to give gifts, but how vulgar the gifts are, and at first glance, a few people gamble a few rounds, all the things that should be given are sent out, and all the things that should be solved are solved. ”

Bingyun stared at him in surprise, forgetting to turn his mind. The man was probably excited by her expression, and reached out and patted her shoulder: "This is called the exchange of interests, you know, people are constantly exchanging interests in this life, but some people will change, and the more they change in this life, the better; Some people don't know how to change, and they will get worse and worse. She looked at her in a daze: "Women have to be able to change." ”

"I don't believe I can change anything." Bingyun disdainfully brushed off the hand that had rested on her shoulder.

The man laughed, as if laughing at her disdain, as if he was despising her: "You can change anything." Bringing his face closer to hers: "Including the daughter-in-law." ”

"I'm home." She took off her gloves and was disgusted by the scumbag: "I'll do it tomorrow morning if I don't finish it." ”

"Nope." The man straightened up: "Today's work is delayed until tomorrow, what are the others doing-"

Bingyun stared at the speaker for a long time, so long that she couldn't hold on any longer, didn't speak, picked up her gloves, and continued to hold the board. But she also saw that she couldn't finish stacking this hill-like board until midnight. But she ignored it, and just carried the boards to the stack one by one, and in a few moments, her sweat dripped down like running water. When she squatted down again, the plank in her hand was trampled on:

"You can say a soft word to reduce a piece of meat?"

Bingyun's legs were weak and his hands were weak, "I can't." Grabbing a board, he stood up: "But I don't say it." ”

Ding Shugui suddenly laughed: "Okay! Attaboy! Look at her: "I'll obey you, obey you, okay?" Don't hug it, I'll arrange someone to do it for you tomorrow. Bingyun panted on the board, and the man looked at her: "Don't keep taking a board, I can let you beat me!" "Bingyun thinks about it, but he still holds it." You don't believe what I say, do you, do you know what my uncle is in charge of? The city is in charge of fire fighting. What do you say this wood is most afraid of? Fire! But look at our place, what kind of fire protection is there? Once it's on fire, it's all fucking over! There is a fire protection fund in this factory every year, and the above can be qualified for inspection every year, but what fire protection do you see? ”

"Where's the money?" She was puzzled.

"It's in my pocket!" Ding Shugui patted his pocket, saw Bingyun glaring at him, and laughed loudly: "I'll tease you." ”

Bingyun narrowed his eyes and disagreed: "What if it's on fire?" ”

"On fire? It's a natural disaster, who can manage it. Otherwise, someone smokes or sets fires, it is a man-made disaster, and if it is found, arrested, and sentenced. The official guarantees that none of them will be fine. At most, there will be a horizontal transfer. It's just right, I'm done scraping here, so I'll scrape it again in another place! ”

Bingyun stared at the man who said such an important thing so dismissively: these disgusting moths! Her poor and hopeless life was infested by these moths, and she couldn't pick them clean! She is humble, weak, like an ant, no matter how hard and hard she works, she can't earn a good job or a good life. He, the workshop director, was won by his uncle playing mahjong, and if she wants to be an inspector, she can get it in exchange for him. When his uncle won him the right to contract the factory, the inspector she exchanged for could also be upgraded to the secretary of the Youth League branch...... Life is an exchange of interests, if she doesn't change, then she won't be able to get it for the rest of her life. She used to be too naïve, thinking that as long as she worked hard, she would have the opportunity to become a regular and then do a better job. Now she understood: she had been holding a board for ten years, and she had as many boards as a hill, and she couldn't match the dice on his uncle's gambling table, which was far more capable of playing the world than she did!

Bingyun didn't know how much she had gone, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the board she was holding was missing, and she was being held in someone's arms, and the person was saying in a mess: "Bingyun, I have wanted you for a long time, I want to die!" I've wanted you since when—" She felt something sticky fall on her left side of her face, and then on her right side of her face, and then she saw it move to the middle of her face, and she instinctively pulled out her hand and pushed it over that face, but her hand was grabbed at once, and then put it on that face: "You want to hit me, hit, I rarely you hit me......" She suddenly felt that hitting him would stain her hand, and she withdrew her hand:

"Director Ding—"

"Don't call Director Ding—"

"You let me go first." She tried to keep her tone calm and not provoke him.

"Okay, I'll let you go, you don't have to be afraid, I just want to kiss you, look at this face-"

Her head ducked back and hit the head of a plank, so painful that she wanted to cry: "Let your daughter-in-law know, she will kill you—" She said loudly, and the face that reached her mouth stopped,

"I don't want her sooner or later!" She saw that face fell all of a sudden, her expression changed, she was about to take the opportunity to get out, but found that her two hands were still clutched in one of the man's hands, she struggled hard, broke free of one, and the man came back to his senses: "Oh, want to run?" That's not going to work! I'm going to condemn you today, and I have to kiss you anything! She was pulled back at once: "Sister, you followed my brother, I can't treat you badly-"

Bingyun stared at the face with wide eyes and leaned down, she felt that her heart had stopped beating and she was not breathing, "That's not your uncle at all, that's your daughter-in-law's uncle!" She shouted, feeling like her chest was about to burst. The face stopped in front of hers, and she didn't have time to see the indescribable look and eyes clearly, and her body had lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Ding Shugui stood up straight and patted his sleeve: "Liu Bingyun, do you know what will happen if people don't know how to lift?" ”

Bingyun got up from the ground: "Know. will self-destruct the future, and it is not a person inside and out. ”

Ding Shugui stared at her, old for a long time, and laughed: "Do you mean yourself, or me?" ”

"Both."
