When he arrived at the door, he saw his elderly grandfather weaving a chicken coop in front of the door, his mother chopping wood, and her thin figure looked sluggish in the sunset, Zekuan felt sad.

He called, "Grandpa, Mom, I'm back." ”

Grandpa looked up at him, nodded and smiled, grandpa never said much, and the smile was already very happy.

The mother put down the axe and said happily, "Zekuan, you are back!" ”

Zekuan put down his luggage and said, "Mom, let me chop firewood." ”

The mother said, "No, you're tired after a day of driving." ”

Zekuan said, "I'm not tired. ”

The mother said, "No, there is enough firewood here, come into the house, it's cold outside." ”

Zekuan felt a burst of warmth in his heart, entered the house, took out the squid whiskers and the radio from his bag, and said: "Mom, this squid must be eaten for the New Year, this is the radio, you can listen to it at home and in the field, this is the switch, this is the volume on, this is the radio station, I also bought you ten pairs of batteries." ”

The mother said happily, "Okay, don't spend money indiscriminately." ”

Zekuan took the money out of his personal pocket, he saved more than 1,000 yuan for a few months, he left 100 yuan for his grandfather, and 200 for himself, all of which were used by his mother to pay off debts.

The mother said, "You don't keep more for yourself, and you will use it when you return to the factory after the New Year." ”

Zekuan said: "No, the salary for January has not been paid yet, and it will be paid soon after the New Year." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he wanted to ask Qing to eat shrimp wonton with her, and walk on the beach across Shajiao together, but Qing asked a few female classmates to go to the city to play, and in the next few days, he either went to relatives or had relatives at home.

Therefore, this year was not a happy year for Zekuan.

The factory started on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and Qing did not start school until after the Lantern Festival, because he was afraid of the catastrophic car experience when he returned home, Wu Yi proposed to leave early and leave on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Early that morning, Zekuan went out with his luggage, and there were still twenty or thirty people around the gambling stall under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and many people had gambled all night until now, including his father. He stood on the periphery, obviously having lost all his money, and no one would lend him any more, but every time the cards were opened, he was waving his fists and screaming with the same excitement, and his blood-red eyes were the same as when he had beaten him and his mother.

Zekuan bowed his head in disgust, and across the river from the village to the country road leading to the town, he sat on the side of the bridge and waited for the motorcycle.

The river under the bridge is very small, but it is very clear, and you can see fish swimming in the water, there is no such scene in the river in the city, but only in the city can there be a future and hope for him.

Hearing the bell of the bicycle, my mother came on a bicycle and asked, "Mom, where are you going?" ”

The mother said, "I'll take you to town and take a car." ”

Zekuan said: "No need, I'll just take a motorcycle." ”

My mother said, "A motorcycle costs a few dollars, and you can save it, and you don't have any cars for the Chinese New Year." ”

Zekuan nodded, took the handlebars, he rode with his mother, and his mother helped him carry his travel bag, just like the first time he went out, but the mood of mother and son was already very different.

When he arrived in the town, he met Wu Yi and Zhao Wencheng, and got on the bus, but his mother was still standing on the side of the street watching him.

Zhao Wencheng said: "It's really a deep love between mother and son! If my mother is so good to me, I am willing to marry her more daughter-in-law. ”

Wu Yi said to him: "Zhizi Mo Ruomu, your mother knows that you are not a good thing, so she is too lazy to be nice to you." ”

Although there were more people than usual at the city railway station, it was not yet the peak of the return passenger flow, so they successfully bought tickets and boarded the train, and returned to Guangzhou in the evening.

The industrial zone was quiet, with few people coming in and out, but they were confronted by U Dan Gui.

Zekuan asked in surprise: "Ah Gui, why did you come down so early?" ”

Wu Dangui was a little surprised and said, "Are you back?" Yes、、、 I don't think the countryside is fun, so I'll come back early, I'm going out to eat! ”

Wu Yi said: "Agui, you go to eat first, we will put our things and come out, and after eating, we will go to the river to celebrate the New Year." ”

Wu Dangui said: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "I guess he didn't go home at all. ”

Zekuan said: "How could it be, he worked so hard with us that day to buy a ticket." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "Tickets can be sold to others or even scalpers. ”

When they returned to the door of the dormitory, Zhao Wencheng pointed to the clothes drying at the door and said: "You see, who will bring back two pairs of dirty underwear from his hometown to wash, he wants to be happy with his family like others, but what did his family do to him?" Did you see if he usually called home? So, when we got in the car, he simply didn't go back. ”

Wu Yi said to him: "Okay, you don't care so much about other people's family affairs, whether you can go back or not is someone else's business, don't talk about it in front of him." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "Okay, why did I mention it, I just thought he was pretending to be quite interesting." ”

Zekuan sympathized with Wu Dangui in his heart, although he was at odds with his father, at least he had a good relationship with his mother and grandfather, and he worked hard for his family, but he couldn't even get the warmth of the family.

They put down their luggage and went out, only a fast food restaurant was open outside, and a small supermarket was also open, and Wu Dangui was waiting for them before he ate.

Wu Yi put his arm on his shoulder and said, "Tomorrow we will have a good day and then start work, and I will have a treat tonight." ”

Zhao Wencheng applauded and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will invite everyone to go shopping, all the streets in Guangzhou will be with you, and as for dinner, I will be equally happy if any of you invite me." ”

Wu Yi pushed him away: "Get out, we don't know you." ”

After eating, they bought beer and snacks and went to the sand dunes by the river.

Zhao Wencheng said: "Starting next month, we will raise wages. ”

Wu Yi said: "Yes, you can have more money to lose and pick up girls." ”

Zhao Wencheng stood up and said proudly to Jiangli: "I swear to Zhujiang today that this year, I will find at least three girlfriends, and there will be no cap, and I will earn enough money to go back and buy a motorcycle, preferably a women's car." ”

Wu Yi asked him: "If you can't do it, will you just drink the water of the Pearl River?" ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, and Zhujiang doesn't owe me, why should I drink it dry, what about you, tell me about your dreams." ”

Wu Yi looked at the high-rise buildings in the twilight in the distance and said, "My dream is to end my part-time life as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Wencheng patted the wine bottle and applauded and said, "Okay, our Brother Yi is Gao Zhizhi, and he will do the bottle for his boss's dream!" "Gulp with a beer bottle in his mouth.

Zekuan looked at the darkening river, and was also thinking about his dreams, according to the current income level, he didn't know when he would earn enough money to study again, and he felt confused when he thought of this.

The next day I went out for a day of play, and the streets were lit up everywhere, beautiful and lively, which made them forget to leave. When I came back in the evening, many of the workers came back, and some of them brought back special products, and everyone gathered around to eat and have a good time.

The seventh day of the first year started, there are still some workers who have not returned, and some years ago after the salary is not returned, but there are also old employees who bring relatives and friends back, at this time it is not easy to go out to find a job, through relatives and acquaintances convenient and practical.

The proprietress worshipped at the door, the boss set off firecrackers, and then gave out red envelopes, and everyone was happy.

Since then, old employees have come back every day, or new people have been brought in, and for boys, the new faces of young and beautiful girls are the most attractive.

But sometimes you don't have to be beautiful to be attractive, there is a special new employee in the factory, she is the boss's niece, named Ruan Min, the boss opened the factory with the strong support of her parents, so she is very good to her. She was originally in high school, and if she didn't want to study, she came to this factory, in her own words, to experience life.

In Zekuan's words, this is called being in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings.

In Zhao Wencheng's words, this is a relative of the emperor, and they are not ordinary employees.

Although she also works in the workshop, she only picks the easy ones, doing it here for a while, and there for a while, even the brother-in-law of the boss who is the supervisor can't control her; I often chew gum in my mouth, order takeout with the boss and his wife when I eat, and live in the boss's house.

She can speak well, but she also has to pick people to chat, and she often looks like she is on top, and there are not many male employees who can talk to her, and Wu Yi is one of them.

She is not pretty, but her gestures are different from other girls in the factory, and she is also very fashionable, in Wu Yi's words, this is temperament, he has been attracted to her.

Zhao Wencheng said of him: "In your eyes, it is temperament, in my eyes, it is deterioration, in her eyes, you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, women regard themselves as queens, what are men?" ”

Wu Yi said to him: "When you picked up girls, you didn't treat women as princesses with a dead face, what kind of meat are you?" ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "I have a clear purpose, I can see the harvest, I don't care what kind of meat he is, what he can eat is good meat that he can't get tired of in his mouth; Those that make you smell fragrant, but don't let you eat them, that's rotten meat; And those that rub into your mouth, make your saliva run for a long time, and finally run into other people's mouths, that's poisonous meat. ”

Another new female worker is also very special and very beautiful, but unfortunately what makes her special, she is a mute!
