Chapter 19: A Hurried Beginning

I don't know why, but today Berlin woke up very early. Even if only five or six hours of sleep made his brain still drowsy, he couldn't sleep anymore anyway.

Is it because I have to go to work today?

But when he was studying, even if he had a check in the morning for self-study, even if he had various final exams, he could be late for all kinds of things, and he would stay in bed for dozens of minutes at home...

Through the gap outside the window, it was still a foggy dawn, and the world was quiet, and even inside the house, you could clearly hear the wall clock ticking and turning. Fortunately, there is no dreary heat in the room at noon and at night, and the cool air makes the water glasses on the table cold...

And when Berlin decided to get up and wash, he found that Chen Kexin, who was lying beside him, was gone. He raised his head suspiciously, and in the faint light of dawn, he soon saw Chen Kexin, who had gotten up at some point, was cautiously busy in the kitchen area in the corner. If he sniffed closely, he could smell the fragrance of porridge...

At the same time, the 'crunch' sound caused by Berlin getting up and turning over immediately made Chen Kexin aware of it. She turned her head, stunned, and said softly apologetically, "Did I disturb you, Berlin?" ”

"Huh? No no... I woke up naturally. Berlin shook his head, paused, and asked, "How long have you been up?" ”

"Just woke up."

“...”

Just woke up?

How could Berlin take her word for it?

Judging from the smell of the rice, the rice is almost cooked, and now she is getting the pickles and salted eggs bought from the supermarket, ready to make breakfast side dishes, how can she be so busy when she just gets up? He looked at the clock, and now he could see clearly with his eyes accustomed to the darkness, and it was just after five o'clock.

Could it be that Le Yao got up at 4 o'clock?

Thinking of this, Berlin fell silent - did she sleep enough?

After washing up, Berlin had breakfast.

In order not to wake up his sleeping daughter, he did not choose to turn on the light, but just opened the door of the hut halfway, and through the hazy light of dawn, he held the hot porridge and began breakfast...

...

Since her daughter was sleeping, breakfast with Chen Kexin was also quiet. At 6 o'clock, I went to work in Berlin.

He carried the bag handed to him by Le Yao and walked on the way to work.

The streets were deserted at 6 o'clock, and the cool morning breeze was blowing. Fresh air and crisp birdsong make Berlin tired... It's the fourth day of coming into this world, and he's finally going to work. Although it wasn't the worker's job he liked, at least he started earning money and everything started to move in a good direction...

What will the work be like?

Can you get along well with colleagues and have more friends?

Berlin had some expectations.

Due to the departure at 6 o'clock, the 20-minute journey made Berlin come to the factory a little early, a little restrained, he changed his clothes in the locker room that he was familiar with yesterday, and then held his mobile phone in the locker room while pretending to be idle and watching the news, while anxiously waiting for the arrival of work time. As time passed, workers of different ages came to change into factory uniforms, and there were more and more people who looked at strangers and looked at them curiously. However, they were commonplace, and no one took the initiative to communicate with Berlin, so they changed into factory clothes and turned around and left the workshop.

Towards 7 o'clock, Berlin rushed to his F2 workshop. Facing the empty workshop, before he had time to take a look, a leader wearing a red hat with a completely different color from them walked to the door of the workshop, shouted 'meeting', and he hurriedly followed a group of people to form three rows, and listened to the confused work arrangement that he listened to for about ten minutes.

And in the end, he and the other two new employees were called up to introduce themselves like new students, nervously imitating the order of the previous one, and after introducing themselves, the sparse applause ended, and he was assigned to a group of team leaders surnamed Huang, and came to a large machine not far from the door. Finally, he had a chance to take a look at the workshop.

And his expectation, at this time, disappeared.

When Berlin pulled up the tip of his hat and raised his head with a zoomed field of vision, he was greeted by a dull light.

Rows of high-tiled fluorescent lamps on the ceiling reflect the large, almost closed warehouse, with only a few windows. There are two large machines in the warehouse that are just starting to operate, and dozens of employees are distributed around the two machines to start cleaning the machines and arranging some preparations. The fan hanging on the iron wall was also turned on, and the dullness that gradually rose in the workshop was scraped desperately, and the sweet and greasy candy fragrance solidified in the air also spread with the fan. It was as if all that remained of the world was a deafening buzz...

Although it was an amplified version of the noise that I heard at the factory gate that evening, in the face of the noise, the busy workers who seemed to be accustomed to it and had no noise gave Dongyang an inexplicable sense of depression....

Just as Berlin was in a trance, the group leader surnamed Huang walked towards him. He shouted at the middle-aged man who was holding a bunch of cardboard boxes with ink pens and didn't know what to write, "Zhang Qinglai, he packs with you." After saying that, he asked Berlin, "Will you pack?" After shaking his head, he smacked his lips helplessly, and then said, "Then you pack up with him and learn first on the first day." Ask him if you don't understand, and he will teach you. With that, he didn't care if Berlin would speak again, turned around and went to the machine to take care of other work.

A simple conversation in a hurry, and a hurried departure.

Berlin turned his head in a daze, and looked at the short, middle-aged man who was sitting not far away, smiling at him with a friendly smile...

Is this where he will be working for a few months, or even, maybe a few years?
