Chapter 6 Going out to prevent fraud
Since the spring breeze of reform in 1979 blew over the motherland, there has been a large labor shortage in the eastern coastal cities, and more and more people have gone south to work, which has led to the phenomenon of crowds at the railway station.
Yun Wenrou's sister wrote in a letter to her: "Many young and middle-aged men from the countryside have come to the south, joined the construction team, the brick factory, and joined the ranks of building railways and roads. There are also various factories where the most workers are girls. As long as you are not afraid of hardship, here, it is a paradise for making money. "
The people in the square carrying large bags and small bags are a group of farmers who want to go to the south to make money. Each of them had a longing and smile on their faces, even if they were gnawing cold and hard cakes in their hands, they couldn't stop the fanatical heart of going south to work and make money.
The uncle took the two of them to an open space near the entrance of the waiting room, and motioned for Yun Wenrou and Su Li to put backpacks and other things in a pile, and then the three of them sat down in a row.
Uncle said: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Mou." Your name is gentleness, so what do you call it?"
"My name is Su Li, and I'm her cousin." Su Li told a little lie.
"It turned out to be two sisters, you have no one to lead the way, why do you go to Guangdong, your adults can rest assured?"
"Don't worry, we have someone there, and someone will pick you up when you get off the train."
"Oh! I work in the electronics factory there, and you can come to me when you get there. It's not easy to find a job there, but it's easy for girls to find. If you can't find a job by then, you can come to our electronics factory to try. ”
"Thank you, uncle, you are such a nice person, uncle."
"Good people don't count, bad people certainly don't. I also see that you two girls are kind-faced. Besides, when I got on the bus, I also heard the conversation between you and your family, and I knew that you had just graduated and that you were not a bad person, so I helped you. ”
"Thank you, uncle." The two thanked each other again.
"Thank you for not having to, we help each other on the way. But you have to be careful, you can't be kind outside. I've told you a story, but it's not a story. "Uncle is talking about what he has seen.
The idea is that a solo traveler met a couple at the station, and the three of them traveled together. While waiting for the bus, the lone traveler went to the toilet, and the luggage was taken care of by the couple, and when he came out of the toilet, the couple had long since disappeared, and it was his luggage that disappeared with them.
"He's too stupid, isn't he, won't he look at each other's tickets?" Su Li said disdainfully.
"This kind of crook has a ticket for every train in his pocket." Uncle said
Su Li was stunned.
"It's all fake." Uncle added.
Su Licai said: "I'll just say, if it's true, then it's not a loss."
Yun smiled softly without saying a word.
Zhao Mou praised Yun again and said gently: "You girl is smart, when you are queuing, it is very interesting to see what I said." People who don't know us think we're uncles and nephews. That's why you come to help me line up later, so that no one gossips. If they knew I was going to bring you tickets, even I would be kicked out. ”
"Uncle is also a good person, he didn't ask me to give you the money early, and I am relieved." Yun Wenrou also praised Zhao Mou.
"It seems that you still understand, and those who read books are smart. There are also situations you think, some people also ask someone to bring tickets like this, and give the money to the other party early, but the other party runs away while the person is not paying attention. In the vast sea of people, where can you still find it, it's good to be vigilant like you. Uncle said with a smile.
……
At the train station, there are many people sitting on the ground like them waiting.
If you don't have a ticket, you can't go into the waiting room and wait.
It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a while.
