Half a month later, the brothers went to school, and Zhang Xiaohua was at home alone, feeding the chickens, herding the cattle, catching birds, and chatting with some grandfathers and grandmothers.

It looks fulfilling, but in her heart, it is extremely lonely. Her good friends and classmates have all left the mountain, and she can only stay in the mountain all day.

One day someone came to the village, named Xu Kui, who claimed to be a cadre of a certain textile factory company, because of the expansion of the factory, it was necessary to recruit a large number of workers.

I thought that instead of wasting my time at home, I would go out and earn some money to support my family. My mother has no job, and the eldest brother and second brother have borrowed the tuition for this semester, but the tuition for the next semester is still not settled.

When she heard about such an opportunity to make money, she was very moved. When she went back, she told her mother that she was going to sign up to work in the city, and her mother objected on the spot, "You are still a child, how can you go out to work alone."

"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 18 years old, I'm already an adult. Also, Aunt Liu at the foot of the mountain also went with me, so there was no need to worry about me.

When the child is older, he always has to go out to see the world, and he can't stay on this mountain for the rest of his life, like himself, there is no future, and he thinks that there are people to go with him, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

On the next day, Zhang Xiaohua carried a big burden and 100 yuan from her mother before leaving, and followed the people from the village to board the train to the big city.

When I arrived at the train, I learned that although there were several people who signed up on the mountain and down the mountain, she was the only one who came, and she was inexplicably a little scared.

Fortunately, at the next stop, another colleague of Xu Kui came up with a few people to meet him, and it turned out that the company arranged for them to go to the countryside to recruit separately, it seems that what Xu Kui said is true, and he is finally relieved.

There were four people coming up together, three middle-aged women, and one young girl. The girl looked as old as herself, her eyes were bright, and she looked around with curiosity, as if she had seen a train for the first time, just like her.

Later, I learned that this person's name was Jiang Xihong, who was only 17 years old this year, and was one year younger than himself. When she was 5 years old, her father had a serious illness and his brain was broken, and his IQ was less than that of a three-year-old child.

Her mother took good care of his father for three years, and finally she couldn't bear to run away from home, leaving her to her only grandmother, and never going back.

Her father left her mother's care, became more and more sick, and began to go crazy and wander around, and her grandmother searched for her several times. The last time, I don't know where they went, they searched for three days and three nights in a row and couldn't find it.

He was never seen since. Some people say that he walked too far and did not know the way home, and starved to death on the way. Some people say that it was winter and froze to death. Others say they fell into the river and drowned. Time has passed, and the specific facts are unknown.

When she was 9 years old, her grandmother also fell ill and died, and she became an orphan with no one to take care of. Her third grandmother saw that she was pitiful, so she took her with her, but her sister-in-law did not have a good impression of her.

thinks she is a broom star, and whoever gets involved with her will be unlucky, which will affect her family's wealth. tried every possible way to drive them away, although she had the protection of the third grandmother, she did not suffer less, but after the third grandmother passed away, she was driven out of the house by her cousin-in-law, and completely wandered on the streets and lived on alms.

The people in the village saw that she was pitiful, so they took her out to work. It seems that she is a poor person, no wonder there is a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

When they arrived at the factory, there was a series of training, and after half a month of study, they were finally able to learn to use various car methods. After that, it officially entered the production line and took up the job.

On the first day of work, I worked overtime until 8 p.m. The next day, I worked overtime until 11 p.m. After that, the fourth and fifth days were all 23 o'clock. Thinking about having to take a day off on the weekend?

Then they were wrong, and the old employees they worked with said that there was no such thing as a weekend in their company. Every day is the same, going to work

Go to work and persuade them to completely forget the word holiday.

And this weekend not only did not have a day off, but also worked overtime until 3 o'clock in the morning on Sunday night. The foreman also said, "You go back early to rest and go to work on time tomorrow morning." ”

How can I rest early, and I have to take a shower when I go back, and the 8 people in the dormitory take turns to wash, so I have to wash for an hour. By the time I got to bed in the shower, it was already a quarter past 4 in the morning.

However, fortunately, due to being too sleepy and tired, I fell asleep on the bed until dawn.

The next day, before I could fully open my eyes, I saw people walking around in the dormitory, already starting to wash. Zhang Xiaohua jumped up busily and joined the ranks of washing.

After she finished washing, everyone else in the dormitory had already gone out, and Jiang Xihong, who was making the bed opposite, was still sleeping wrapped in a quilt, so she kindly reminded her that she was almost late for work.

"Jiang Xihong, Jiang Xihong" screamed twice but there was no response, so she pulled her quilt, but there was still no response.

She thought it was strange that she was usually the first to get up. When I lifted the quilt to take a look, I was shocked. Jiang Xihong was lying on the bed, motionless, her eyes rolling.

"Jiang Xihong, Jiang Xihong, where are you uncomfortable?" No matter how much I shouted, there was no response, and it seemed that he was very sick. This night, everyone slept very hard, and no one noticed that she was so sick. She hurriedly picked up the landline in the dormitory and dialed 120.

After a while, 120 arrived and lifted her into the ambulance, thinking that Jiang Xihong had no other relatives here, and there were a series of procedures that needed to be handled when she arrived at the hospital, Zhang Xiaohua did not hesitate to follow the car. He sat quietly beside her, hoping that nothing would happen to her.

originally thought that the 100 yuan in her pocket was a lot of money that could be used for a long, long time, after all, this was the first time she had seen such a big piece of money in her life.

When I arrived at the hospital, I didn't stop talking about it, and the doctor said that it was only part of the examination fee. Soon, the doctor issued another bill saying that it was the medical expenses, and the hospitalization fee had to be paid again.

No more, no other money for myself. She thought of her two fellow villagers, so she asked the staff of the hospital to help contact the factory, so that the people in the factory could contact her two fellow villagers again.

When her two fellow villagers heard that Jiang Xihong was hospitalized, they were very worried and anxious to ask for leave to come to see her, but the leaders of the factory did not approve the leave, saying that it was okay to ask for leave, but they had to finish the normal 8-hour shift, and they could apply for no overtime at night.
