When Shen Yu saw the black ship, he had just celebrated his ninth birthday.

I don't know why, although she has only lived in the 407 factory for a few years, she always subconsciously feels that only this huge and closed old place is her hometown.

And the home in Songshan City is just a place to live.

She was only six years old when she moved back to Songshan with her mother, and in the fall of the same year, she entered elementary school.

In the second year, Shen Yu began to skip grades, going directly from the second grade to the fourth grade.

According to her mother's wishes, her daughter would have skipped to the sixth grade, when she was already studying for junior high school. But the school's opinion is that although the child is smart, she is too young and should come step by step.

gave birth to a smart daughter, and it was the mother's capital to boast to others everywhere. But apart from boasting, she actually has very little time to take care of her own children.

In Shen Yu's childhood memories, her mother was a busy person, she often traveled on business, and she didn't even have much time to go back to Songshan, let alone go back to her own home.

Mother entrusted a distant relative to take care of Shen Yu, Shen Yu usually called that relative "aunt", she is a cold woman, although her heart is not bad.

She cherishes words like gold, and hardly talks to Shen Yu, let alone communicates with others. Every time she ate, she silently put the food and chopsticks on the table, then pushed open Shen Yu's door and looked at her coldly.

That means that it's time to eat, it's time to eat.

Whenever this happens, Shen Yu will put down his books, walk out of the room, and sit down at the dinner table. The two ate quietly, so quiet that even the sound of chopsticks hitting the rice bowl was particularly harsh.

In addition to picking up and dropping off the children and doing housework, the aunt always sits on the sofa in the living room. She remained silent, her only movement was to pick up the remote control and keep changing the TV channel.

The sofa seems to be her eternal harbor, and the TV is her eternal friend. She watches dramas on the couch, eats on the couch, and sleeps on the couch.

Sometimes Shen Yu got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and saw that the TV in the living room was still on, the program in the channel had already been broadcast, pale snowflakes were jumping on the screen, and a dull rustling sound came from the speaker.

The aunt fell asleep on the couch, her hand still clutching the remote control of the TV.

It's probably the tradition of my mother's family to be not good at expressing myself, but my mother's behavior is completely different from that of my aunt.

Every time she came back from a business trip, her mother would hug Shen Yu very excitedly, and kept shouting words like "baby", "dear", "I miss you", "mom loves you the most" and so on.

Even the mother's colleagues and neighbors around her will be deeply affected when they see this scene, and they all think that they have a deep mother-daughter relationship.

But they didn't know that these words were all the words for Shen Yu's mother to express her mother's love.

After each of these words, the mother, looking exhausted, went into her bedroom, lay down on the bed at once, and closed the door tightly.

At the beginning, Shen Yu would knock on the door cautiously.

"Mom, this is a notice from the school, and the teacher asked me to ask my parents to sign it."

"Baby, I'm so tired, go find my aunt to sign it on your behalf." Her mother was lying on the bed, flipping through magazines and talking to her.

"Mom, this is ......"

"I'm too tired, let's go to my aunt for help."

After going back and forth, Shen Yu seemed to understand that this home was just a temporary resting place for his mother. Gradually, she stopped bothering her mother, and her mother rarely asked about her.

Therefore, in Xiao Shen Yu's heart, the 407 factory is his home. Once upon a time, there were familiar neighbors there, happy playmates, and the factory yard was so large that it was possible to run around without worrying about safety.

Even her father, who stayed there, didn't have time to listen to her or talk to her too much.

But that summer, when Shen Yu returned to Factory 407 after half a year, she found that everything had quietly changed.

When she was a child, the most common thing in the factory was to queue up.

You have to queue up to eat in the cafeteria, you have to queue up to take a bath in the bathhouse, and even you have to queue up to buy things in the store and go to kindergarten and school.

Thousands of workers and tens of thousands of family members are entrenched on this remote hillside, and the limited resources are struggling to support the operation of this huge factory.

In fact, in the early days, one of the things that the employees of Factory 407 often worried about was-

The factories are getting bigger and bigger, the workers are increasing, and there are only so many places that can be opened up on the hillside, what if there will not be enough in the future?

Do you still have to be like a temporary worker, who gets up early every day and goes back and forth for more than three hours to work here?

In their eyes, the people who live in the urban area of Songshan are the people of the "place"; And they are people who are in the upper echelons of the class.

In fact, after Shen Yu was born, although many enterprises in Songshan City have begun to restructure, and some workers have been laid off and changed jobs, the 407 Factory is a key enterprise under the management of a certain central government, so the workers still have no sense of crisis.

- Those are all local things, what the hell are we doing with that idleness?

It is precisely because the 407 factory has this kind of confidence and capital that they have become the latest batch of enterprises to be restructured in Songshan City - the cost of time and opportunity, if it is wasted before, it will often be quickly and violently made up for later, just like the final exam, if you have to delay until the last day of review, then you have to stay up all night to memorize and do questions.

Therefore, since it was allocated a place and decided to restructure, the 407 factory was empty in just a few days, just like a school that announced a holiday. Everyone is frantically moving, moving to "places" that they used to disdain, and they are grabbing houses everywhere in the downtown area of Songshan.

However, the factory still has to maintain operations, dispose of surplus assets, and undertake unfinished scientific research tasks, so the factory has set up an old factory office and a production and scientific research team, with a total of about 200 people at the beginning.

Shen Yu's father is a member of the scientific research team.

However, with the relocation of the equipment, the workers of the production team left behind gradually left.

Later, the members of the scientific research team were slowly poached, or they found other jobs.

As for the group in the office, they walked faster than anyone else.

When Shen Yu came to the factory during the winter vacation, there were still about 50 people in the factory, but when he came back during the summer vacation, only his father and two assistants were left in the factory, as well as Uncle Geng, who had the power of public security, fire protection, sanitation, and logistics.

It turned out that the administrative team of the factory had four or five hundred people, and they complained every day that they were tired, and finally tossed for a long time, and a lonely old man who was about to retire actually took all these things into account.

The adults are gone, so naturally there are no children to play during the summer vacation.

But loneliness is something that Shen Yu has long been accustomed to.

For her, the fact that the factory is empty is not necessarily a bad thing - there are many places in this huge enclosed space that cannot be explored because of the prohibition.

For example, the courtyard of the "No. 1 Forbidden Zone", she had never entered it before.
