Chapter 18: A Completely Different Life
As soon as he came up, Chen Jingling shouted: "Chen Shubin! ”
"Ah, Chen Jingling? You also go to Hangzhou? ”
"Well, great, we're finally in company." Chen Jingling looked very happy.
"Where are you in Hangzhou?"
"Yan'an Road ......"
"Oh, that's still far from us."
"Where are you going? It's okay, there's a bus. "Chen Shubin is Chen Jingling's neighbor, in fact, he is not called a neighbor, their family is rented near Chen Jingling's house, they are also from the countryside, Chen Jingling's parents work in the hospital, and Chen Shubin's father is a cook in the hospital kitchen. Because I don't usually interact much, I don't know that we will go to the same big city.
"We haven't settled down yet, and we plan to go to Hangzhou Xiasha Development Zone."
"Oh, that's a good idea."
"Give me a phone number, shall you?"
"Oh, there's no cell phone yet, there's a pager."
"The pager is also done, oh, my PHS number is xxxxx." Chen Jingling's tone was obviously cold.
"Well, okay, I'll be in touch then." Chen Shubin also cooled down, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, sweating on such a cold day, obviously he was in a hurry just now.
After calming down, as if he had suddenly discovered something, he turned around and glanced at Fang Yemei a few times, then smiled at her and said embarrassedly, "I was in a hurry just now." ”
Fang Yemei also smiled at him.
After the car started, they fell silent, Chen Jingling began to play with her mobile phone, Fang Yemei began to reverie, and Chen Shubin began to close his eyes and recuperate.
After a while, all three of them began to take a nap. This is a long-distance bus, and at night this bus is a sleeper, at first everyone is sitting and chatting, and now they are all covered with quilts and ready to sleep.
Fang Yemei couldn't sleep, her thoughts were rolling, she vaguely felt that the road ahead was full of hope, and she felt very dazed, the boy named Chen Shubin just now probably had just arrived in Hangzhou, right? I don't know how he is doing outside, so while it was not dark and everyone hadn't fallen asleep, she gently accosted Chen Shubin. His position happened to be opposite her, and Chen Jingling was on the top bunk of Fang Yemei.
"Your name is Chen Shubin?"
"Well, what about you? Are you Chen Jingling? ”
"Yes, my name is Fang Yemei."
"You're also going to work in Hangzhou?"
"Oh, haven't found a job yet, how about you?"
"I work as a chef at a restaurant on Yan'an Road."
"Then you can open your own restaurant in the future?" Fang Yemei said with a smile.
Chen Shubin laughed: "How can you be so ambitious, it's good to be able to have a full meal now." ”
"Not necessarily, there are some things that you don't do, and you may succeed if you work hard."
"Do you have PHS?" Chen Shubin asked suddenly.
"No, but Fang Jingling's pager is for me." Fang Yemei was embarrassed.
"Then leave a number for each other."
They chatted so softly for a while, and seeing that no one was talking in the car, Fang Jingling seemed to be planning to sleep with her eyes closed, so she was embarrassed to continue to talk.
I arrived in Hangzhou at two o'clock in the morning the next day, but it was cold in winter, the road was inconvenient, and it was not safe to go out in the middle of the night, so everyone stayed in the car to sleep and did not get off until four or five o'clock.
Fang Yemei is the first time to go to a big city, and this world can only be experienced when she comes out. Fang Yemei felt that she had suddenly lost her sense of direction, where was this? Where is East? Where is the West? How can I get to Xiasha? Now I am really like a duck strayed into the sea and lost my way.
"Lead the way, lead the way......"
"Accomodation, accomodation......
"Go to Wenzhou, go to Wenzhou ......"
"Shanghai, Shanghai ......"
……
It didn't take long for the station to be lively, and there were all kinds of people.
"Are we taking a taxi or a bus?"
"Let's take the bus, I'll pick up the luggage, this luggage is trivial."
"yes, okay." Chen Jingling actually knew that Fang Yemei's family was not in a good economy, and besides, she also felt that it was indeed a bit expensive to take a taxi directly from the station to Xiasha, so she agreed to Fang Yemei's proposal: take the bus.
When I went out, I found that everything cost money, and the bus fare at that time was cheap, one piece per person, and the station to Xiasha had to transfer to one stop of the bus, and one person was only two yuan.
I can't tell why, Chen Jingling can save a lot as long as she is with Fang Yemei.
Luggage is also a bit much, get on the bus, get off the bus, get on again, get off, not to mention how much trouble it is. But Fang Yemei coped with it easily.
"Fang Yemei, it was a miscalculation that you didn't continue to go to school at the beginning, there is no problem with being a special female soldier like you."
"Really? Then I can be your bodyguard in the future. Ye Mei laughed.
They got off at Xiasha Xingfu Road, and when they got out of the car, they began to tease.
There is a large peasant house on Xingfu Road, and Chen Jingling has heard from her classmates that the rent there is cheap.
Because they didn't pick it with their luggage, they asked the two, and they felt that the price was almost booked, according to Chen Jingling's standard, a room for two hundred and a month, water and electricity are taken care of, and the kitchen and bathroom are shared. The room was very nice, and the balcony, the third floor, or newly renovated. But when she thought of money, Fang Yemei couldn't help but feel a little flustered, could she find a job in a very short time?
"We have our own home!" Chen Jingling shouted happily.
There were two beds in the room, one of which still had a quilt, Fang Yemei decided not to throw away the quilt first, and then change it when she earned money from her part-time job, which could save a little.
It's really lucky, Fang Yemei wants to save, even the gas stove has a ready-made one, it turns out that the tenant thinks there are too many things, so he left the gas stove. A bit old, obviously used for years. Chen Jingling originally wanted to buy it again, but looking at Fang Yemei's appearance, she knew that she had decided to keep this and continue to use it.
"Now that we've come out, we have to learn to support ourselves, and before we make money, we can save a point."
The word self-reliance touched Chen Jingling a lot, she was pampered by her parents, and she always hoped to be self-reliant, okay, everything is up to Fang Yemei.
How is this, except for dressing up, Chen Jingling follows Fang Yemei in everything, as if she has full authority to deal with it.
"Jingling, I know that your family conditions are better than mine, but I can't touch your light too much, will we have a good living allowance in the future? I'll keep the accounts, you don't have to be polite, tell me bluntly what public supplies you bought, only if the economy is not confused, our friendship can last for a long time, okay? When she cleaned up the room on the first day, Fang Yemei told Chen Jingling that she was really embarrassed to tell Chen Jingling that she only had more than 500 yuan in her pocket after paying the rent.
"OK, of course I'll listen to you." Chen Jingling laughed, she didn't bother to care about those things.
After tidying up the room, Fang Yemei ran downstairs to the big yard to fetch water, and saw that an eldest sister was washing clothes, so she hurriedly asked her about finding a job.
Chapter 19 There are many twists and turns on the road to job hunting
"What kind of job are you looking for?" The eldest sister who was washing clothes was from Sichuan, and because they were all outsiders, she answered Fang Yemei very enthusiastically.
"Anything goes, as long as you can make money."
"What diploma do you have?"
"Oh, didn't graduate from high school." ”
"Ah...... Then you can go for a fake certificate, and it is much easier to find a job with a high school diploma. ”
"Isn't it hard to find junior high school students?"
"It's hard to find, but if you're not picky, it's not a big problem to be willing to be an operator."
"What does an operator do?"
"You really haven't done it?"
"No ......"
"It's the work on the assembly line, the operators are very hard, they don't have to stop all day long, some have to work 12 hours a day, and some are more than that."
"I'm not afraid of hard work, as long as I can find a job."
"Then I'll take you to the factory tomorrow to ask, I have to go to work at six o'clock tomorrow morning, you come with me first, wait there, and wait until eight o'clock to ask the leader." That eldest sister is really enthusiastic.
Hearing that there might be hope, Fang Yemei became happy and hurriedly said thank you to the eldest sister.
Chen Jingling heard Fang Yemei's conversation with others downstairs upstairs, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Fang Yemei brought the water up, and Chen Jingling asked with a smile: "You're not afraid that people will sell you?" ”
"Sold me? Not really, right? Fang Yemei was stunned for a moment.
"Well, you might as well ask the landlord for advice first, at least know who it is, the people you meet here are generally fine, but you can't ask people like that on the road, it's miserable to meet bad people."
Fang Yemei's face was flushed with shame, what about big dreams? is this virtue, but in less than a minute, she was stubborn again, hum, is this girl so easy to be abducted?
They packed up their rooms and went to the street to buy some food and some groceries.
Chen Jingling is not in a hurry to find a job, in her opinion, finding a job is not a problem, she knows that there is a talent market in Hangzhou Building, she will rest for a few days first, and then go there to find it. But Fang Yemei is different, she is afraid that she will spend too much on job hunting, and the money in her pocket will not last long, and she can't wait to go to work the next day. Therefore, the things they paid attention to along the way were different, and Fang Yemei always paid attention to the recruitment advertisements posted on the side of the road.
Chen Jingling is concerned about which areas will be developed in this area, and she hopes to work in a newly established company, so that she can become an old employee when she grows up. Chen Jingling's major is actually biased, it is Japanese, so she is also restricted in finding a job.
Every time Fang Yemei sees a "recruitment revelation", her heart will be shocked, and her eyes will light up, most of the recruitment notices that can be posted on the side of the road are recruiting waiters, barber shops, and restaurants...... Although Fang Yemei was anxious to get a job, this kind of work was not within her consideration, and she didn't want to develop in these aspects. Instead of doing this, it is better to go to the factory assembly line and work as an operator. After watching a copy, her heart sank once, and in the end, she simply stopped looking at it, this method didn't work.
There was no harvest on the first day, but Fang Yemei still saw hope, there are so many factories in Hangzhou, there must be more opportunities than in the countryside, therefore, after dinner, she took the basin and ran to the yard with the bowl to wash the dishes and find someone to talk, there is well water in the yard of the landlord's house, hand pressure well water, washing dishes with well water can save water bills, and you can chat with people and learn some information.
"Fang Yemei, I really convinced you, we have water on the third floor, you have to take the bowl downstairs to wash."
"I'll wash it for the next two days, and when it's your turn to wash, you'll be allowed to wash on the third floor." Fang Yemei laughed heartily. Well, housework and economy are AA system, so that there will be fewer contradictions, and special situations will be dealt with. Although Chen Jingling is an only daughter, this is very open-minded, and Fang Yemei is straightforward, which is why she wants to come out with her.
The eldest sister said that she would take her to the factory tomorrow, this was an opportunity, but it could not be regarded as the only opportunity, she had to find an opportunity by herself.
A girl living in a bungalow on the first floor was doing laundry, and a bungalow on the first floor was sixty, and the girl looked about the same age as Fang Yemei.
"Hello, what company do you work for?"
"What about the electronics factory in front, what about you?"
"I just came out and I haven't found a job yet."
"Ah...... Now that it's easy to find a job during the Spring Festival, have you applied for a work permit? Have you applied for a temporary residence permit? If you have these two things, you can go to the Hanghai Road Labor Agency to find them. ”
"Okay, thank you, you give me an address, I'll try."
As soon as she heard that there was a labor market, Fang Yemei became excited again, and it seemed that she had another opportunity.
When she went upstairs, Fang Yemei told Chen Jingling the good news.
"Really? That's a good idea. Still, I decided to look for it in the talent market. In fact, when you have work experience and want to change jobs, it is better to look there. ”
"Hmm......" Fang Yemei sat down and remembered to write a letter to her family.
"There will be bread, there will be churros...... "Yes, everything will be fine."
Fang Yemei was waiting for the eldest sister yesterday in the yard early in the morning, and she said that she would take herself to their factory to have a look.
It turned out that the eldest sister worked as an operator in a plastic factory, making plastic products, and most of the parts produced were used in electrical appliances, such as hot water bottle shells, TV cases, mobile phone cases, and soap boxes...... and other plastic products, so the company name is also called "Wanjie Electric Appliance Co., Ltd." The company also has a fixed mold set, which is the mold for the production of those plastic products. The mold is good, the leader debugs the machine, and the operator only needs to operate, collect the plastic products that fall off the machine and process them by hand, and scrape off the rough edgers. Their job is simple, the debugging of the machine and the design of the mold, and the technical content of making the mold. Fang Yemei hopes that she will
But she's new to the city, and who can give her a chance? If no one is allowed to enter, wouldn't it be ...... So when the HR supervisor asked her if she would like to be an operator, she nodded.
"Okay, let's come to work tomorrow, there happens to be a girl in the morning shift who resigned, and our operator is divided into two shifts, the morning shift is 6 o'clock to 3 pm, and the middle shift is from 3 pm to 12 pm. If you want to stay, the company has a dormitory. However, 30 yuan of accommodation fees will be deducted every month, and water and electricity will be taken care of. Remember, you'll be at the office by six o'clock tomorrow. ”
"Okay......" Fang Yemei's mind was racing quickly, there are now more than four hundred yuan left in her pocket, fifty yuan to buy a second-hand bicycle, and three hundred yuan for the first month's living expenses, right, I can't go out to find a job anymore, just come here to work.
It was the eldest sister who took her by bicycle, and when she came back, she had to walk back by herself, and it took 20 minutes to walk from the company to the landlord. Finally, it fell, and a big stone in Fang Yemei's heart finally fell: it was quite smooth.
"Ah......? You settled on it so quickly? Don't look for it again? Maybe there's a better one? ”
"Anyway, I'll get off work at 3 p.m., and I'll continue to look for it when I have experience in the future."
"Maybe you're right." Chen Jingling sighed, to be honest, let her do Fang Yemei's job, she might as well go home. Chen Jingling always felt that it would not be difficult to find a job, maybe her monthly salary would be two or three months above Fang Yemei.
