In the first month, Yang Cuiping worked for 22 days, received her salary after deducting the soldering iron money and accommodation fees, and received eight yuan and eight coins, but fortunately there was still a place to live.

The accommodation building is very old, several buildings, all staff accommodation buildings, more than ten people live in a room, Yang Cuiping's bed is next to the door, after living for more than a month, every night on the body pimples, itching uncomfortable, scratching blood, Yang Cuiping thought it was rheumatism, bought rubbing medicine and medicine did not work, every night still pimples, itchy and painful, only to find that there were insects on the bed, pressed to death and smelled, Yang Cuiping asked others what this was, they said it was stinky lice, Yang Cuiping was startled, I've never seen this thing, it's so powerful, Yang Cuiping bought medicine to spray, and died a lot, because there is no more, who knows that thing can't be killed, a bottle of medicine can't be sprayed for a few nights and then it's gone, the factory is too big, the management is strict, you are not allowed to sleep in a disorderly bed, and you are not allowed to sleep when it is empty, and you have to check the room in the middle of the night every night, and find out that you have slept in someone else's bed, no matter what reason you have to drive you out.

The workshop is hot and uncomfortable, Yang Cuiping has prickly heat all over her body, even her hair is prickly heat, all her body is scratched, the workshop is hot during the day, stinky lice bite at night, twelve hours a day, the salary is only two or three hundred yuan a month, the first month eats in the factory, the second month, Yang Cuiping only eats one meal a day, the third month is to eat her own, Yang Cuiping is reluctant, but also only eats one meal a day, in the lighting factory for three months, saved a thousand yuan and two hundred yuan, Yang Cuiping really can't hold on, so she automatically left the factory, Because I was not allowed to quit my job, I didn't dare to theorize at that time, and my cousin-in-law also left herself.

During this period, Yang Cuiping wanted to go back a few times, and Song Ziyang scolded on the phone a few times, at that time, the call was to buy a public phone card, each time to buy a phone card of ten yuan, the phone called to the post office on the street, and brought a letter to Song Ziyang to answer the phone, Song Ziyang never asked Yang Cuiping about the situation in Guangdong, every time he called, he said, "You give Lao Tzu back, Lao Tzu limits when you don't come back, Lao Tzu tells you not to step into the threshold of the surname Song" Sometimes even scolded in Shanxi dialect very badly, Yang Cuiping was not used to it when she first arrived in Guangdong, The work in the factory is hard, the accommodation conditions are not good, every time Song Ziyang calls and scolds ugly, every time Yang Cuiping calls Yang Cuiping cries sadly, Yang Cuiping is even more determined not to go back.

The old cousin went to work in the cousin-in-law's factory, it was a furniture factory, and the cousin-in-law went to work in the old cousin furniture factory after leaving, Yang Cuiping first rested for two days and also went to work in the cousin-in-law's furniture factory, and the factory people said that Yang Cuiping was old and reluctantly agreed to Yang Cuiping to go to work.

Yang Cuiping was assigned to the veneer workshop, and her cousin-in-law was also veneering, and her cousin-in-law had been on the shop for three days.

Yang Cuiping went to work in the furniture factory, the boss was a Jiangxi woman, and found a master for Yang Cuiping, this master is a Hunan woman, this woman only asked Yang Cuiping to polish with sand, and did not tell her what else to do, so she kept telling Yang Cuiping to grind quickly, Yang Cuiping's hands were grinding, and the master took Yang Cuiping for three days and Yang Cuiping would not do anything.

This boss likes to scold people very much, as long as anyone does something wrong, he will call everyone together and scold for a long time, and you can't listen to it.

On the third day, the boss asked Yang Cuiping to paste the cabinet alone, there are a lot of things on a cabinet, one will stick such a skin here, and one will stick that skin there, Yang Cuiping can't tell so many things, just according to the boss said that she has to work overtime at night, and come to work after dinner, Yang Cuiping saw that the skin she pasted was broken, the glue had dried up, and she couldn't take it off, and there was no excess skin, Yang Cuiping looked for the boss, and the boss pointed and wanted to scold, Yang Cuiping stared at the boss with her eyes, and the boss was scared and didn't dare to scold. hid in her cousin-in-law, and then the boss ran to other people to scold Yang Cuiping, but Yang Cuiping couldn't hear it and ignored her.

After getting off work, Yang Cuiping went out to wash tools, and the boss said, "I don't want such an employee, who dares to use it" The cousin-in-law said to Yang Cuiping, go to the cousin-in-law to tell the supervisor to transfer you to another workshop, the boss said that she doesn't want you, Yang Cuiping said, "She dares not want me, I want to come to work tomorrow, I see that she dares to say that she doesn't want me" The next day Yang Cuiping went to work as usual, to see if the boss dared not want her, the next day the boss politely wanted to die, and did not say that Yang Cuiping did not do well, but was very good to Yang Cuiping, Since then, no matter how bad Yang Cuiping has been, the boss won't talk about her.

Yang Cuiping left the electronics factory and sent 1,000 yuan to Song Ziyang.

Yang Cuiping only has 200 yuan on herself, and she paid a registration fee of 100 yuan when she entered the furniture factory, and she only had 100 yuan on her body.

Furniture factories have to pay for two months, that is, they have to do the third month to receive the first month's salary.

If you don't work overtime, Yang Cuiping will buy a meal at noon, the factory will work overtime, Yang Cuiping will buy two meals to eat, the factory work is very hard, are manual work, every day a person has to divide more than a dozen sets of cabinets plus drawers and accessories on the cabinet two people to lift the cabinet, every day to lift twenty or thirty sets of cabinets and cabinet accessories, paste the glue with sand and grind hard, dry in trimming, delivery to lift the cabinet four layers high, sometimes there are too many goods, to divide dozens of sets of goods, every day tired to walk.

At first, Yang Cuiping's feet hurt and couldn't stand it, but when she thought that it was difficult to find a job, she gritted her teeth and persevered, and slowly got used to it.

Every morning, Yang Cuiping goes to make porridge, plays a pot, drowns kimchi, and makes a pot of porridge at night to eat with kimchi, never reluctant to buy other food, urinate a lot every night, go to the toilet four or five times a night, and are tired during the day, sleep very well at night, and wake up by urine distention, most of the time squinting to go to the toilet.

When Yang Cuiping came back from work to take a shower, a girl said, "Are you called Yang Cuiping, something seems to have happened to your family."

I can't call back so late, the next day Yang Cuiping called back to ask, there is nothing at home, Yang Cuiping called Song Ziyang for a few days, Song Ziyang said, "I said it, you don't answer the call, I'll say that"

Later, Yang Cuiping didn't send money back to Song Ziyang, and sent the money back to the eldest brother and asked the eldest brother to help keep it.

After saving thousands of yuan, Song Ziyang said that Dongdong was sick and asked for money, and Dongdong also needed money for a minor operation after a while, so the money was still taken by Song Ziyang.
