Chapter Seventy-Eight

The weather is very good, He Tiantian thought that he would have to go back, and if he didn't go shopping, he might not have a chance in the future. I took out my phone and looked at the map, but I couldn't see anything. I changed into a pair of Mizuno sneakers, and I thought to myself that I had been in bed for several days, so I would go far away today. When I picked up the bag, I felt a sore back, and secretly scolded Lu Chengwu in my heart for being a pervert, and tossed myself so much that my bones were about to fall apart. I thought in my heart that this thing was not as lustful as the sisters in the dormitory described it. I put the bag down again, and took out all the valuables inside, as well as sanitary napkins that I didn't use. There are several keys connected to the room card, which are the bathroom and the balcony, and I think the front desk can open the door, so I don't need to bring this. Only then did I feel as light as a swallow, and I looked in the mirror again, so that I looked like a poor student, and it was very safe.

The lower reaches of the Shangsha River are going to Humen, the direction of Houjie, which is gradually prosperous, and He Tiantian disdains prosperity the most. In the upper reaches of the river, I looked at the green willows like smoke along the way. Far away from the hustle and bustle, there are more new factories, fewer shopping malls and hair salons, less porridge shops and stalls, but there are no fewer people. There are still a lot of people wandering back and forth on the road, walking and walking, I don't know how far away from Shangsha, to a place where factories gather, the decoration style of the factories on both sides of the road is the same, connected by some huge turning pipes, huge cylinders are marked with liquid nitrogen, helium, and the bottle is marked with the words "Do not approach" in danger, there is no doubt that this is a factory group. (Dongguan has a lot of similar industrial chain bases, that is, giant multinational companies in order to save costs, the upstream industrial chain suppliers are all concentrated in the same area, the benefits of this are many, research and development can be done from design specifications to production requirements coordination, contradiction handling and rapid response, saving a lot of import and export tariff costs, as well as transportation costs, the most important thing, is to save all the most valuable cost in the supply chain - time cost.) )

Here the trees are shady, the birds are singing, the huge palm leaves reflect the light in the sun, the forklifts shuttle back and forth between the factories, the security personnel at the gate of the factory, standing in the straight military posture of the guards, the door of each factory has a row of uniformly painted, neatly placed buses, and the people wandering back and forth on the road are the most weird, these people are wearing the same gray jackets, and a pair of gray pants, and black big scalp shoes on their feet, both men and women. Everyone was expressionless, like zombies, with heavy steps, and there was no communication between each other. He Tiantian looked at his mobile phone, and it was only ten o'clock in the morning. She couldn't understand why these people didn't go to work, and they came and went so much during this time of work. She took out her phone and started taking pictures, muttering to herself that these people shouldn't mind taking pictures of them herself, right? But I can't help but be curious, I want to record such a scene, and I can share it with the sisters in the dormitory when I go back, which is probably the best conversation before going to bed at night. She also recorded a short video. The scenery on the way further forward is the same per capita, the clothes are still this color, and the factory buildings are the same. If it's a company, it's too big.

The sun became more and more poisonous, her stomach began to murmur, and after drinking the bottle of water in her hand, she realized that she had been walking for an hour or two, and she had not seen a supermarket or a restaurant. Shanghai is full of convenience stores, but there are none here. I thought that I must not have found the right place, and began to go from the main road to the narrow passage between the factory and the factory, which is often a pure pedestrian passage between the two factories. She stared straight at both sides of the road, except for the high walls and people, but there were no shops. Slowly, her throat began to dry, and it was absolutely impossible to find it like this, so she stopped a girl who looked honest and honest. She was young, a little short and fat, in her early twenties, her hair looked oily, her face was too, and there were a few pimples on the wings of her nose. The eyes surrounded by dark circles are pitch black, but the eyes are erratic, and the whites of the eyes appear slightly yellow because they are bloodshot.

"Hello!" He Tiantian greeted him in a friendly manner.

The girl nodded, and looked at the girl in front of her, who looked as plain and poor as herself, but her skin was as fair as a doll. Nodding blankly.

"Where is there a place to eat here?"

"Eat? We all ate in the cafeteria. ”

"Is there any food in the cafeteria?"

"Of course! You can go if you have a meal card. “

"I don't have a meal card, can I get cash?"

The girl shook her head decisively, as if incomprehensible. "Nope."

"Where's the restaurant, or the commissary?"

"There was only water and cigarettes in the commissary. There were no meals. Unless you go outside the industrial park, but that's a long way off. “

He Tiantian realized that he had strayed into an industrial park, "Then how do you get to the nearest restaurant?" “

The girl pointed in a direction and then explained, but she didn't understand it at all, but she was too embarrassed to ask again. After saying thank you, he turned and walked in the direction the girl pointed.

"Stay safe." The girl gave a clueless explanation and left without looking back.

He Tiantian walked in the direction of the girl's finger for half an hour, there was no commissary, no restaurant, he was thirsty, tired and hungry, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. If you want to ask for directions, you have to walk for more than ten minutes before you meet one or two young people in gray jackets and gray pants, everyone is like the girl just now, their eyes are glazed, their faces are pale, and their steps are heavy. With the help of the young man, He Tiantian finally found the restaurant, although the tables were simple, the chairs were stained with oil, the chopsticks were stung with flies, and even the box with napkins on the table was stained with a mixture of soy sauce and chili peppers. The chubby proprietress was like a rural aunt who was pregnant in October, handing over a menu that smelled of dishcloths, He Tiantian took a napkin that would be thin when the wind blew, flipped through the pages of the menu, and ordered a stir-fried lotus root slices and a green vegetable tofu soup. The proprietress waved the spoon, and after a while, she brought up the steaming but innocent soup, and then after another half a minute, she brought a large bowl of rice, which was big enough for He Tiantian to eat in two or three days. "If it's not enough, you can add it, we'll be full here!" The proprietress said cheerfully in Mandarin with an accent that I don't know where. In the end, the white crispy and sour lotus root slices were delivered.

He Tiantian was already hungry with his chest on his back, and he didn't care about the chopsticks and spoons bitten by the flies, so he ate a big bowl of rice and drank another bowl of soup. Half of the dish and a large pot of soup remained. I haven't eaten so much for a long time, I don't know if I'm too hungry or the food is too fragrant, I think about it carefully after arriving in Dongguan, I haven't eaten a good meal. Every day it's a snack or a noodle or a hamburger steak. "Do you want to pack?" The hostess was holding a lunch box.

"No thanks." Looking at the empty tables and chairs in a room with almost no guests, he said to the proprietress as if he remembered something: "It was work time just now, why are so many people walking back and forth in the industrial park?" ”

"It was the night shift and just got off work, and eating breakfast in the morning was equal to their dinner, so if you are tired from walking around, you can go to bed immediately, otherwise you will have problems with your body if you can't sleep day and night. Little girl, did you just come to report? ”

"No...... No. I'm here to play. ”

"What's so fun here." The proprietress smiled.

"What time is the night shift?"

"It's usually 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. Take a break for an hour in between. Each company is different, and two shifts are popular in Guangdong. In some places, there are three shifts, so people should be comfortable. The intensity of two shifts is relatively large, but the salary is high. ”

"Why are the wages high?"

"Two shifts are 12 hours, so naturally there is 3 hours of overtime pay, right? Three shifts, one shift of 8 hours, that is equivalent to no overtime, but also to transfer one more shift, not to mention the trouble, but also to recruit more people, live can not live miles! “

"How uncomfortable it is to reverse black and white, if I would rather go to a normal class."

"You don't have to pick and choose. However, there is also a subsidy of ten yuan for the general night shift. Don't you think that's a lot more cost-effective? “

"Ten dollars an hour?"

"Will you calculate, ten yuan an hour, and a subsidy of three thousand yuan a month? Ten dollars a night. “

"How much can I get a month?"

"The tallest one can take three thousand dollars."

He Tiantian thought about it, and three thousand yuan was his pocket money for a month. My father's monthly retirement salary was close to 10,000. They can only get three thousand day and night, and she will think of the listless appearance of the chubby girl with dark circles under her eyes just now, and her heart tightens. But 3,000 yuan is not too little, and I can spend a month. After thinking about it like this, the heart that had just been pinched loosened.

"What about the low ones?"

"It's all three shifts here, and the low ones aren't much worse."

Green vegetable tofu soup is 6 yuan, lotus root slices are 8 yuan, and rice is free. After paying the money, He Tiantian thought that it was really cheap, and felt that the salary of 3,000 yuan was really a lot. I asked the proprietress for boiling water, but when the proprietress came over with a boiling kettle full of oil, she immediately regretted it, took a small sip politely, and took her leave. Before leaving, the proprietress also said the same as the little girl just now, pay attention to safety. The place is not good, but the people are good.

This impression stayed in her mind for no more than an hour.

She didn't know where she was stopped by the group of people in dark blue clothes. A van, a pickup truck, and five men in blue hats and blue clothes surrounded themselves. He cursed and cursed, and several other people were also stopped, one of the skinny boys ran away while they were not paying attention, and one chased him out, and was called back by the other four people halfway. After the man came back, he was even more angry, and He Tiantian couldn't help but tremble violently when he saw several scars on his fierce face. Several people were stuffed into the van, He Tiantian immediately cried, shouting for help, but there was no one around except for the high-rise buildings of the factory, and the remaining few people looked at her silently and did not speak, and the scar-faced man scolded loudly, "Cry a fart!" Don't cry! ”。

He Tiantian sobbed and said, "In broad daylight, what do you dare to do? Now is a society governed by the rule of law! I'll call the police now! ”

The doors of the van were slammed shut, and the smell of sweat filled the compartment. The car glass was covered with dust, and the vision was not clear, only feeling that the car was jolting desperately on the road, He Tiantian took out his mobile phone from his bag while crying, and called Lu Chengwu's phone, but no one answered. She was so angry that she hung up the phone, dialed again, but still no one answered, and finally cried and called her uncle's phone, and her uncle's was not in the service area. The huge fear made her hands tremble, and she sent another text message to Lu Chengwu, saying that she was arrested by a group of people in blue clothes, and she hurried to save herself. After thinking about it, I was not very relieved, so I forwarded the text message to my uncle again. Then I called 110 to call the police, and the artificial station asked her where she was, but she couldn't tell her clearly, and asked a person in the car, who told her an address that he had never heard Lu Chengwu say. The other party said that there was no such place in Shanghai, and He Tiantian remembered that the area code should be added. But the other party was very considerate and helped her transfer to 110 in Dongguan, and the response was very fast, and a female operator asked if she had been beaten or violated, and He Tiantian was stunned for a moment and said no. Then the other party asked what clothes the person who arrested her was wearing, the color, and the armband, and He Tiantian cooperated with the people in the carriage to tell the other party, and the other party actually said that this is to check the temporary residence permit, as long as she cooperates with the inspection, she will be able to go home soon, and she will definitely not be in danger, so let her rest assured. Then the phone was hung up. He Tiantian scolded angrily for what a broken place! I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had to look at the few people in the carriage one by one, and they were all very calm.

"What's going on here?"

"Check the temporary residence permit." A boy said lazily.

"Do they have the right to arrest us like this?"

"If you have a temporary residence permit, show them and let you back."

He Tiantian remembered that he did ask her what ID card she had just now, but she didn't understand and just said that she forgot to bring her ID card. Later, I stuffed her into the van without saying anything.

"What about you? Don't you have that certificate? “

"We have only arrived in Dongguan and we have not yet found a job. Where did you get your temporary residence permit? “

"What then?"

"Depending on their mood, if you have cash and pay a fine, they will let us go back, but it usually takes a few hours."

"How can this be?"

"I don't know."

One girl turned her head sideways and said, "I heard they're going to hit people!" I was a little scared. ”

"I've heard about it, but it's all for people who don't cooperate. If you cooperate well, it should be fine, right? The lazy boy spread his hands.

"Last time I had a sister who was sent to Changsha to work as a coolie. It took two weeks before he was sent back. ”

"There is such a thing, now that it is a society governed by the rule of law, I don't believe it. I'll call again! He Tiantian took out his mobile phone, but found that the mobile phone was out of power and automatically turned off. I immediately regretted that I shouldn't have recorded videos and taken pictures just now, and my ears rang in a panic. "Oops, why is there no electricity, what to do, what to do?"

Several people watched her hurry, and the tense atmosphere began to spread, and a few people who seemed to be calm just now also began to become restless.

The car stopped suddenly, and several people in blue clothes knocked on the car door with batons, and after opening the door, He Tiantian found that he was in a courtyard, and there were also two people in blue uniforms standing at the gate of the courtyard. The scarface man pulled a few people down and said, "Get in!" ”

Several people trembled into the house, and found that this ordinary building had been transformed into a prison-like place, each room had an iron door, and the iron door was closed behind the iron door, some people were chatting inside, and some were shouting loudly. The most terrifying thing for me was that there were a few screams, like screams made by being beaten. The people in several rooms heard the screams like ducks with their necks pinched, and they craned their necks and looked at the place where the sound came from, even if it seemed to come from the walls, not any of the rooms. Then a whisper came from the crowd: "Hit someone again!" These people are really not a good thing, what right do they have to beat people! "That's right, isn't it just to check a temporary residence permit? "I've heard that some people have been beaten to death, and there is no place to sue them. ”

Walking to the hall, the staff in blue uniform asked him to fill in the emergency contact, He Tiantian trembled and wrote down Lu Chengwu's phone number, and later added a mobile phone number to the back. It was his uncle's.

She and the other girl were then separated from the crowd, and the boy was herded into one room and into another, smaller room on his own. Like the room with the iron door that I passed by just now, it was also closed with dense people, and the room was dim, but fortunately there was no unpleasant smell. The sound of a few girls sobbing reminded them of the danger, and the screams that came from time to time made their scalps tingle. Someone kept shouting in dialect and then being harshly yelled, presumably by a staff member in a blue uniform.

The phone is out of battery, and I don't know what time it is, but based on the dim natural light outside the window, I guess it should be four or five o'clock in the afternoon. She kept crying, tears probably washed all the makeup on her face, her eyes were swollen and a little painful, and her loose hair was stained on her face from time to time, blurring with tears. From time to time a girl or two would come up to comfort her, but the only thing that would do so was to make her cry even harder.
