Seeing that Li Xiao noticed his thumb, he retracted his hand embarrassedly. Then he continued to tell Li Xiao: "Next, you do as I demonstrate, remember to classify the cases, and put different cases in different boxes."

"Okay."

"If you don't understand, just ask me, I'll go over and get busy first."

Li Xiaomu saw him leave, saw him walk to a box, and sorted it carefully.

There were five people in the packing room, all of them silently packing, there was silence, only the crisp sound of cases colliding.

At about twelve o'clock, the radio sounded.

"It's time to get off work and eat." Everyone flocked to wash their hands and ran to the cafeteria.

The first time he went to the cafeteria to eat, Li Xiao looked very cramped. Wang Qian found her, helped her cook together, and then took her to find a place to sit down. The dishes are divided according to the head, and the rice is eaten as you like. The dish is very light, typical of Cantonese cuisine.

The cafeteria is not very large and consists of two parts, one for the kitchen and one for the dining room, which has three long tables and a TV in the corner. Workers watch the local news while eating.

Everyone ate quickly, and after eating, they returned to their dormitories to rest.

Back in the dormitory, looking around, Li Xiao understood the layout of the dormitory.

The dormitories above the office building are men's dormitories and women's dormitories are men's dormitories at Nos. 5-10.

The men's dormitory here belongs to the dormitory of middle-level and above cadres, and it is equipped with air conditioning, and the men's dormitory in the back building is only equipped with fans. Female dormitories No. 5-9 are equipped with fans, No. 10 is equipped with air conditioning, and the air-conditioned rooms at No. 10 are generally inhabited by locals (office buildings and mold rooms), and it is difficult for outsiders to enter. Li Xiao was arranged in dormitory No. 6, where 6 people already lived.

Only the upper and lower bunks by the window were empty, and she chose the upper bunk.

After a half-hour break, I went back to work at 1 p.m. You have to clock in and out every day, and at the end of the month, you will be paid according to the clock-in record.

Compared with the anxiety and honesty in the morning, Li Xiao began to be active in the afternoon, he could integrate into the group, and he could also communicate with the workers, make jokes, dare to move around at will, and the manager did not come to inspect, and the air in the packaging room was still free. Li Xiao's packing action has changed from rusty to proficient, and the sorting and packing progress of the watch case has also begun to speed up.

After a few more words to the workers, the afternoon passed quickly. Leave work at 5 p.m., followed by dinner. The head of the packaging department, the man with the missing thumb, said that he had to work overtime at night, three hours. I leave work at 5 o'clock and start working overtime at 6:45 a.m., and work overtime until 9:45 p.m. for three hours. The salary of the newcomer is not high, 8 hours a day, and the basic salary is 6.8 yuan per day. Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times the basic salary, and the salary for three hours of overtime is 6.8÷8×1.5×3=3.825 yuan, so three hours of overtime is stronger than working for a day, many people like to work overtime, and the factory also requires at least three hours of overtime, which is the same for every department. In this way, if you work overtime for three hours a day, you can get (6.8+3.825)×22=233.75 yuan a month. Therefore, in order to raise wages, it is necessary to increase the base, that is, the basic wage every day.

After dinner, many people like to lie on the bed to rest, Li Xiao is also, squatting in the packaging room for an afternoon, with a sore back and tired hands, I want to lie down for a while. There are also people who take advantage of the break to go outside.

More than an hour is enough for Li Xiao to sleep well. In the evening, Li Xiao was more familiar with the process, the progress was accelerated, and the movements were faster. Watching the other workers put the case heavily in the box, Li Xiao also followed suit, so that the packing speed was faster.

"Why do you put it so heavy, the case will break. Did You Know? A gruff voice said loudly.

Li Xiao didn't wear glasses, and vaguely felt that someone was in front of him, and when he looked up, the manager's angry face was scolding him.

Li Xiao lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

"You, come here." The manager shouted.

The head of the department who took Li Xiao in the morning hurriedly ran over.

"How did you bring it? Didn't you tell her to handle it gently? The manager asked.

"I told you." The man replied quickly.

"Telled, still won't do it? Seeing that you are new today and are not familiar with it, you will not be punished, and next time I meet you, you can go home. With that, the manager left.

Li Xiao felt very sad in her heart, obviously she did the same as others, why was she blamed. All of a sudden, tears flowed down her face.

"The next time the manager comes, you're going to put it gently." The man said softly. At this time, Li Xiao remembered that those people who packed very heavy boxes had their hands and feet lighter when they saw the manager coming, and she was stupid and still did what she did as she did before, of course she would be caught.

Li Xiao looked at the man gratefully and continued to pack. She didn't want to use Akari's behind-the-scenes approach, and after being reprimanded by the manager, she began to take it lightly, whether the manager was there or not, whether she came or not, it was the same.

After working overtime for three hours at night, Li Xiao went to take a shower with her roommate in the dormitory (called shower in Cantonese). The bathhouse is not built alone, it is next to the toilet, half of which is a toilet and half is a shower room. There are only four faucets for showers, and everyone is three clocks, and they leave work at the same time, and the bathhouse can be described as overcrowded, and even the toilets are full of bathers.

My roommate said we'd come back later. Wait until 11 and a half to go again, there are a lot fewer people, and when you finish washing, it is already past 12 o'clock, and it is half past 12 o'clock when you really fall asleep.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, the dormitory people got up one after another to wash. Li Xiao also got up. Wash your face and brush your teeth. At this time, the washroom is also busy. Compared to the crowding of bathing, washing is easier to solve, as long as there is a faucet, it can be completed quickly. The toilet in the middle of the first and second floors, the sink outside the packing room, the bathhouse, and the dishwashing sink outside the cafeteria are all being washed.

Wash up and have breakfast. Breakfast was still very light. Porridge, cheong fun. If you don't think it's enough, you can make another instant noodle.

Li Xiao took the plate and sat aside to eat. At this time, Wang Qian also came over with a plate.

"Disciplined yesterday?"

"Huh?" "Hmm."

"Behave better in front of the manager, and I'm going to get you to the mold room. Don't make any mistakes at this stage. Wang Qian admonished Li and said with a smile.

"Well, how do you know?" Li Xiao asked curiously.

"I know your every move." Wang Qian said.

I can't say whether to be grateful or hateful. Li Xiao couldn't express his emotions.

"Good work, overall performance is good." Wang Qian concluded.

"Hmm."

After eating, washing the dishes, clocking in to work.

The contents are the same as on the first day, and the sorting and packing continues.
