Zhao Ermei's days after the divorce are as calm and free as before.

Except when he is free, he thinks about his child Yao Youjin in his heart, and the rest of the time, he either sleeps in the rental house or goes shopping with his sisters. After the salary, she will go to the best shopping mall in the city with them to buy the clothes she likes to wear and buy the food she likes to eat. Sometimes, I go for a walk in a few parks in the city and quietly think about my future days.

As long as she walks into the familiar workshop, Zhao Ermei will devote herself to work without distraction, listening to the familiar sound of rows of looms running, and her dexterous figure shuttling between machines to get busy, you will feel that she is also a machine in the workshop.

She enjoys this kind of work and life, she is willing to make such a machine, the machine is valuable, as long as it can reflect its own value, she feels that she has the meaning of existence in this society, she weaves colorful flowers, and also weaves her own happy life.

In the summer after the divorce, she, as usual, was the one who came first and left the latest. is different, but there are no more concerns, and she has become a free single person again.

The weather changes quickly in summer. One day, Zhao Ermei slept a little dazy because she was too tired, and when she went to work in the afternoon, she felt that the weather was fine and she didn't bring rain gear.

The female workers who had worked the night shift together were gone, and when she walked out of the workshop, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Zhao Ermei looked at the thick night and the raindrops that smashed to the ground intensively, and suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness and helplessness in her heart.

"Second sister, are you off work? It rained too much. I don't know when, the trade union officer Fang Fatzi quietly appeared behind Zhao Ermei, she turned around and saw Fang Fatzi's face full of smiles, and opened her mouth a little unexpectedly, wanting to ask something, and held back the words that came to her mouth.

Fang Fatzi looked at the next non-stop heavy rain, and took the initiative to explain: "On duty, it's my turn to be on the night shift today, it's raining so hard, I'm afraid that something will happen, so I'll look around, and by the way, check the situation in the factory to see if there is any danger that may happen." ”

Zhao Ermei said casually: "The leader has worked hard. Fang Fatzi smiled and shook his head: "I told you not to call the leader, call Brother Fang, you still can't remember." Zhao Ermei smiled helplessly: "Remember, Brother Fang." ”

Fang Fatzi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I'm going to be angry next time I shout about the leader." Are you waiting for someone? ”

Zhao Ermei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not waiting for someone, I'm waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain to stop." No way, I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out. Fang Fatzi said with concern: "Let's go, I have an umbrella in my office, you can use it." I'm going to work overnight today, so I don't need it. ”

The office building is very close to the textile workshop, and after turning a few connected corridors, you will arrive at Fang Fatzi's office on the third floor.

Fang Fatzi looked back at Zhao Ermei, who took off her overalls and changed into a skirt, swallowed his saliva and said, "Sit down for a while, such a heavy rain, even if you have an umbrella, you will definitely get wet in this beautiful dress, and I don't care about waiting a little longer, rest and rest before leaving." Looking at the heavier and heavier rain outside the window, Zhao Ermei nodded hesitantly.

During the day, the office building is always full of people. The higher-level departments came to inspect the work, the foreign businessmen came to negotiate business, the workers of the factory came to ask for leave to do business, the staff who came back from a business trip reported to the leaders, and some cleaners were busy cleaning up and down. Every time Zhao Ermei goes to the office building to do something, she always sees people busy in almost all offices.

After work in the evening, the office building is quiet, and there are no other people except the administrative duty staff.

Zhao Ermei knows the importance of administrative duty work, which is arranged for safe production and timely handling of emergencies, generally speaking, as long as there are no accidents, there is nothing important, just a routine. Just like Fang Fatzi just did, tonight's rain is particularly heavy, the staff on duty should take a look around to prevent sudden danger, if the inspection is not done when on duty, or the inspection is not in place, there is a problem, the staff on duty is responsible. Of course, in most cases, this will not happen, just in case.

After Fang Fatzi checked the key parts, he was about to go upstairs, and found that Zhao Ermei was looking at the heavy rain outside in a daze, so he knew that she must have forgotten to bring rain gear, so he stepped forward to talk to her. Zhao Ermei was usually grateful to the fat man of the other party, and when Fang Fatzi invited her to the office to rest, she did not refuse, and followed Fang Fatzi upstairs.

Zhao Ermei sat on the sofa in Fang Fatzi's office, looking out the window at the rainstorm that was falling more and more rapidly and heavily, and continued to be in a daze. Fang Fatzi was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly took out a can of Coke from the cabinet, opened it quickly and handed it to Zhao Ermei and said, "Thirsty, quench your thirst." Zhao Ermei did feel a little thirsty, so she smiled gratefully, took the Coke in Fang Fatzi's hand and took a sip.

Fang Fatzi looked at Zhao Ermei and secretly swallowed his saliva: "Second sister, you look really good when you smile, this skirt also shows your figure, I bought it newly, I don't seem to have seen you wear it before." ”

Zhao Ermei didn't know how to reply to Fang Fatzi's words, so she thought about it, and didn't face Fang Fatzi directly, while looking at the rain outside the window. While casually saying: "It's a new one, I think it's very ordinary, and several people say it's good-looking." ”

Fang Fatzi stared at Zhao Ermei's plump body, his hands crossed together and rubbed habitually, he looked at the heavy rain outside the window, squinted his eyes and thought about it, turned around and quietly closed the office door, and pressed the light switch next to the door, and the lights in the office went out in an instant.

Zhao Ermei fell into the darkness all of a sudden, and was feeling a little puzzled, Fang Fatzi's two hands had reached out to hug her in secret, she wanted to break free but couldn't use her strength, so she begged softly: "Brother Fang, what is this for?" Let people know that it's not good, you let me go. ”

Fang Fatzi pressed Zhao Ermei on the sofa and whispered in her ear: "There is no one at this time now, there are only two of us in the entire office building, and no one will know." Brother Fang has been thinking about you for a long time, and he wants to kill you, you don't feel it? ”

Although Zhao Ermei knew that Fang Fatzi usually meant something to her, he was a person with a wife and children, and she never thought that he would do this, so she was a little flustered in her heart. Zhao Ermei didn't dare to shout, in that case, the impact would be worse, she couldn't stand this impact, maybe she would be dealt with by the factory because of this matter, and there would even be the possibility of being laid off because of this.

Fang Fatzi may not be able to stand this kind of influence, and he may be removed from his post because of this matter. In that case, it would be a tragedy for the two of them. What's more, it was quiet in the office building at this time, and when she went upstairs, she found that only the lights in Fang Fatzi's office were on in the office building, and the lights in the other offices were black. There will definitely be no one at this time, and it will be useless for you to shout no matter how much you shout.

Zhao Ermei tried to push Fang Fat away again, but Fang Fat pressed on her body, making her unable to move. She was a little overwhelmed, and said softly, "Brother Fang, you better let me go." ”

Fang Fatzi couldn't control himself for a long time, and whispered: "Brother Fang will definitely be good to you, will definitely be good to you." While taking off Zhao Ermei's skirt.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a bolt of lightning brightly illuminated the surrounding buildings, as if it were daylight, followed by a series of explosions, which suddenly rumbled and rang out, as if they were exploding above their heads. Fang Fatzi was nervously stunned for a moment, and unconsciously stopped the movement of his two hands.

The thunder gradually faded away, and Fang Fat finally let go of his two hands. Somewhat frustrated, he got up from Zhao Ermei's body, gasped for a moment, and grabbed Zhao Ermei's hand again in the dark.

Zhao Ermei didn't push him away again, she knew that this man's psychology must be very fragile now, he should really like himself, although she didn't want others to force herself like this, but he couldn't continue to do it after all. The two of them sat in the dark, neither of them spoke, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window from small to loud, and then from large to small, and finally gradually stopped.

Zhao Ermei didn't hold a grudge against Fang Fatzi, Fang Fatzi did care about her very much, and the materials for her to declare model workers and the materials for her to become a regular worker were all written and filled in by him. I never feel sorry for her, and I always want to fight for her if there is anything good.

In Zhao Ermei's opinion, Fang Fatzi is a good man, if it weren't for his family, she wouldn't mind at all, now that she is a single woman, she feels that she has no obligation to guard anything for anyone, her body belongs to her, she just feels that Fang Fatzi is a little disappointed by doing this.

Zhao Ermei once told Dongfang Siyi that Fang Fat sent her back that night in the process of talking with Dongfang Siyi. For the first time, she had insomnia, she felt that she had lost her purpose in life, she didn't know what would happen in the future, she didn't know what she wanted to get, it was like walking into a fog. For a long time after that, she became a little depressed, and she always felt that she could not keep her spirits up.

Zhao Ermei relied on the spirit of not admitting defeat to break the gap between urban and rural areas in front of her, she crossed the slate bridge that was like the boundary between urban and rural areas since she was a child, walked from the countryside to the city, and became a new citizen in the city who relied on her own hands and technology to survive.

Zhao Ermei insisted on pursuing her own freedom of personality, and when marriage became her fetters, she no longer cherished her past life, but bravely abandoned the old nest without love. She completely liberated herself with her own efforts, but when she got a new life, she was lost again, she lost her next signpost, and slowly lost her motivation, lost a fresh self, and sank unconsciously.

Dongfang Siyi put down the file in his hand, he saw the progress of the times from Zhao Ermei, the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people who have undergone radical changes in their lives and concepts with the progress of the times, and the joys and sorrows and difficult choices of many little people who move forward with this era.
