Chapter 50: The Factory
"Sister Miaoxiang, why are you pushing away?" A young man's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly looked back, and it turned out to be Liu Zhengyang from Liuzhuang who rode a bicycle and rushed over. "Oh, it's you. The descent was too steep for me to ride down. ”
With a "creak", Liu Zhengyang stopped the bicycle and stopped on one leg next to Lin Miaoxiang's tricycle.
"Hello Uncle Liu." Zhang Xichun called out very politely. It turned out that Liu Zhengyang and Lin Miaoxiang both worked in the Lemin Garment Factory in Hexia Town, and they were in the same work group and knew each other very well. Several times Zhang Xichun followed his mother to the garment factory, and Liu Zhengyang also gave Zhang Xichun candy.
"Hmm. It's really good to cherish spring. Liu Zhengyang smiled at Zhang Xichun.
"Hey, Brother Zhengyang, where is your daughter-in-law? Why didn't I come with you? Lin Miaoxiang found that Liu Zhengyang was riding a bicycle alone, so she asked curiously.
"She's a little unwell today, she's resting at home." Liu Zhengyang's wife Wu Na also works in Lemin Garment Factory, and they both go out and go together on weekdays, and they are inseparable.
"Oh......" Lin Miaoxiang replied softly, and wanted to take a step and continue to descend the mountain.
Liu Zhengyang suddenly moved, and said with a smile: "Hey, Sister Miaoxiang, if you come to ride my bicycle, I'll ride the three wheels, so that you can hurry up." ”
"No, I have enough time anyway. Either you go first, and I'll be there later. Lin Miaoxiang said with a smile. She knows that Liu Zhengyang has always been enthusiastic and popular.
"Oh well. Then I'll go first, be careful on your way. As he spoke, Liu Zhengyang stepped on the pedals, and the car went down the mountain road, and soon disappeared around the corner.
"Mom, Uncle Liu's car is riding so fast." Zhang Xichun sat on the tricycle, looked at Liu Zhengyang's back and shouted happily.
"Well, men are very fast." Saying that, Lin Miaoxiang couldn't help but think of Zhang Longfei. In the past, Zhang Longfei was also as prosperous as Liu Zhengyang, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, hugging Zhang Longfei's back tightly, listening to the whirring wind in his ears, his heart was full of happiness.
But that feeling will never be felt again. Lin Miaoxiang couldn't help but glance back at the place where Zhang Longfei had an accident, her eyes full of sadness and resentment. At this time, Lin Miaoxiang's heart moved suddenly, and she suddenly remembered a question that made her very puzzling.
When Zhang Longfei had an accident, it should have been uphill. The speed of the car should be very slow, how could it fall into the ditch on the side of the road? It stands to reason that Zhang Longfei didn't drink alcohol and didn't get sick, how could he be confused to this extent?
The more Lin Miaoxiang thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but shed tears. That day, the police at the police station said that Zhang Longfei died in an accident, and he didn't think much about it because he was too sad, so he agreed with the police's opinion. But now that she thinks about it, Lin Miaoxiang thinks that Zhang Longfei's death is incredible.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Zhang Xichun seemed to see Lin Miaoxiang's tears, so he asked in a milky voice.
Lin Miaoxiang came back to her senses at this time. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, said nothing, and pushed the tricycle down the hill.
Lemin Garment Factory is the largest factory within a radius of dozens of miles from Hexia Town. The efficiency of Lemin Garment Factory is unusually good, the wages of the workers are all paid on time and on time, and the welfare of the workers is also surprisingly good. Every holiday, the factory will give some holiday subsidies to the workers, so the farmers near Hexia Town are happy to work in the garment factory.
Since Lin Miaoxiang married Zhang Longfei, she went to work in Lemin Garment Factory. Now it has been more than ten years, and it can be regarded as an old employee of the factory. But even if she is such an old employee, Lin Miaoxiang has never met the owner of the garment factory, but she heard from her colleagues that the boss's surname is Su and he is a very rich person.
Lin Miaoxiang first sent Zhang Xichun to the Hexia Kindergarten on the edge of Hexia Middle School, and then rode a tricycle to the Lemin Garment Factory quickly. After Lin Miaoxiang parked the tricycle in the carport and hurriedly changed Zhang Xiaohun's diaper, she ran into the workshop in a hurry.
A busy scene in the workshop. The hum of the motor and the crackling of the clutch pedal are intertwined. From time to time, a few small workers ran around with a large pile of semi-finished clothes, for fear that they would not be able to catch up with the workstations on the assembly line. However, Wu Ting, the director of the workshop, seemed very leisurely, sitting alone at the desk and reading the production report.
Wu Ting is Wu Na's sister, she is clean-looking and does things in a hurry. Last summer, after the resignation of the original workshop director, Wu Ting, who was a workshop statistician, unexpectedly became the workshop director, which was very beautiful.
Fortunately, Wu Ting, like her sister Wu Na, has a peaceful personality and treats people thoughtfully. After she became the workshop director, she did not have too much arrogance, on the contrary, she protected the interests of the workers in the workshop everywhere, and thought about the workers in big and small things, so many workers in the workshop also supported this young workshop director.
Lin Miaoxiang saw that she was late again, so she hurriedly ran to Wu Ting and whispered sorry. Wu Ting raised her eyes to look at Lin Miaoxiang, nodded slightly, and asked Lin Miaoxiang to hurry back to work at her workstation.
Liu Zhengyang's workstation and Lin Miaoxiang's workstation are next to each other. Liu Zhengyang was busy with his hands and feet, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Miaoxiang walking over sweating profusely. Liu Zhengyang smiled at Lin Miaoxiang, didn't say anything, and lowered his head to continue working.
The workstation was already full of clothes to be processed, Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly sat down and reached out to turn on the motor switch. Fortunately, today's process is simple, Lin Miaofeng opened the bow left and right, and with her skillful skills, it didn't take long for her to successfully digest more than half of the task.
Lin Miaoxiang was about to drink saliva to rest, but Zhang Xiaohun on her back woke up. Zhang Xiaohun seemed to be hungry, and he couldn't stop crying.
Lin Miaoxiang had no choice but to put down the water cup and untie the baby carrier with her hand. Lin Miaoxiang turned around and lifted her clothes with her back to Liu Zhengyang.
Just as Zhang Xiaohun was eating heartily, Wu Ting didn't know when she had come to her side. "Sister Miaoxiang, you're really tired of taking this little guy with you."
Lin Miaoxiang was looking at Zhang Xiaohun with her head down, and suddenly heard Wu Ting talking to herself, so she hurriedly raised her head. "It's alright, Director. Thanks to the fact that you allowed me to bring my children to work. ”
Wu Ting smiled slightly. "Sister Miaoxiang is also an old employee of our factory, and I should do this. But I'm afraid you'll not be able to stand it up for a long time. ”
"If you can't stand it, you have to stand it, but I guess when I can't stand it, my little hun should also grow up, then I can rest assured." Lin Miaoxiang saw that Zhang Xiaohun had almost eaten, so she picked him up and put down his clothes.
Wu Ting smiled slightly, picked up a few clothes sewn by Lin Miaoxiang, looked at the threads, and briefly chatted with Lin Miaoxiang before turning around and leaving.
At this time, Liu Zhengyang quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Sister Miaoxiang, I'm almost done." Do you want me to make something for you? ”
"No, no, I can do it. Thank you. Lin Miaoxiang knew that there were many people in the workshop, and rumors would fly all over the sky if she was not careful.
Seeing this, Liu Zhengyang didn't say anything. He stood up, glanced around, and walked out of the workshop.
Without the noise in the workshop, Liu Zhengyang felt much more comfortable. He found a secluded corner, leaned back against the wall, and stared at the white clouds in mid-air.
"Zhengyang, what are you doing here?" Wu Ting's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Liu Zhengyang hurriedly turned around and saw Wu Ting coming over with a smile. "Sister, what are you doing, I'll come out to take a breath."
"Oh......" Wu Ting replied softly. How's that my sister? ”
Hearing Wu Ting mention Wu Na, Liu Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh heavily. This morning she said she was very dizzy and had no strength all over her body. I suspect that it may have been a side effect after taking too much of the pill. ”
Wu Tingting's face suddenly darkened. After a while, she said leisurely: "Hey, as long as you can get pregnant, there will be a little side effect." It is inevitable that the medicine is poisonous. ”
Liu Zhengyang sighed faintly. "I'm afraid that Nana's body is too weak to bear the medicine. She had never had mouth sores before, and now she blisters in her mouth every few days, and she couldn't afford to drink a lot of water. ”
"Hey, that's too angry. But maybe a little more anger will cure Nana's palace cold. Wu Ting responded. She knew that her sister had cold hands and feet since she was a child, and her menstrual period was never on time. In the early years, the doctor said that Wu Na was a serious uterine cold disease, and it was necessary to do conditioning as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect fertility in the future. However, Wu Na was too troublesome, so she dragged it out again and again, and finally it didn't work. Sure enough, after Wu Na and Liu Zhengyang got married, three years passed, but Wu Na's stomach did not move at all.
"I hope so." Liu Zhengyang nodded slightly, and then didn't say any more.
When it was time for lunch, Liu Zhengyang had just finished the meal, and he saw Lin Miaoxiang sitting alone in the corner of the cafeteria. As soon as his heart moved, he raised his feet and walked over and sat down opposite Lin Miaoxiang.
Liu Zhengyang saw that Lin Miaoxiang only needed steamed buns and pickles, and he couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand and handed the plum cabbage button meat he bought to Lin Miaoxiang. "Sister Miaoxiang, this is for you. Nana didn't come today, I can't finish eating alone, so I'll give you this. ”
"No, no." Lin Miaoxiang didn't seem to expect Liu Zhengyang to send food to her so boldly, and she didn't ease up all of a sudden, and almost choked on steamed buns.
"You're welcome, what do you eat every day? There's so much work to do. Liu Zhengyang insisted on putting the plate of plum cabbage button meat in front of Lin Miaoxiang.
Lin Miaoxiang saw that there were people coming and going in the cafeteria, for fear that her excessive refusal would attract the attention of others. She hurriedly whispered her thanks, then lowered her head and continued to nibble on the steamed buns.
Lin Miaoxiang absentmindedly finished lunch, then made an excuse with Liu Zhengyang, got up and left the cafeteria. As soon as she walked out of the door of the cafeteria, Lin Miaoxiang couldn't help but sigh deeply. In the past, Lin Miaoxiang and the male colleagues in the workshop would laugh and laugh, talk and laugh, and have no scruples, but since Zhang Longfei passed away, for some reason, Lin Miaoxiang instinctively kept a distance from the opposite sex in the workshop, and became cautious when speaking.
