I was only seventeen years old, so I squeezed into the train to Hebei.
At that time, the train was not only slow, but also crowded, and it was not easy for us to reach our destination.
I started working in a brick factory. Because I was young and thin, after a month of doing it, the compatriot who took me to contact me for other jobs. At that time, several other villagers were working in a village-run factory not far away. So, I came here.
It's a hardware factory. The area of the factory still seems to be a bit large. But I didn't see many workers, and in my current experience, the efficiency of the factory should not be good. But at that time, I didn't know anything, and I thought it was easier to enter a factory than to enter a brick factory. I feel very happy.
I am happy because I am with a few young people from our village. The leader was a man a few years older than me, named Yang Jiang. He was tall and handsome and loved to wear a green military uniform. The others were all girls from one of our towns, who were about the same age as me.
Maybe because there are only two men here, Me and Yang Jiang, so we can talk very well, the relationship is also very good, and he also takes care of me. I see him as the big brother. Several other girls often ate with us and went to work. So, it became familiar quickly. Everyone is young, and although we don't make any money from this job, we are also very happy.
I was just polishing at the beginning, but after a few days of doing it, the master said that I was not doing well, so Yang Jiang arranged for me to go to the canteen to cook. In addition to a few of us who came to dinner, there was a young provincial couple. They are old employees. I heard that the salary is not bad. We also rarely talk to them. Several other locals eat at home.
Here is mainly to eat steamed buns. I don't need to make it, just heat up the steamed buns sent by the villagers and make some food. These northern foods are much simpler than our hometown. So, it's a very easy job for me. When I'm not working, I read books by myself, and I like to write essays and poems, which is a hobby I've always had.
One of these girls was my cousin. In a foreign land, she was very affectionate to me, and I took good care of her. One of the girls she played well with was from our nearby village. The girl's name was Qiu Ju, and she was also seventeen years old at the time. She was the most conspicuous of these girls.
Qiu Ju was very mature at that time, and the person looked plump and round. Her skin was white, her face was round, her long hair, and especially her breasts were conspicuous. Convex and backward, it looks very sexy, and there is a girlish delicacy. Her eyes were watery and fascinating.
My cousin may have discovered my liking for Qiu Ju and quietly said to me one day: "Brother, do you like Qiu Ju?" ”
I laughed and said nothing.
The cousin smiled and said, "Brother, you can rest assured, I will help you." ”
Sure enough, later, Qiu Ju looked at me with a strange look, and my cousin often took her to play with me. Gradually, we became familiar with each other. I am the kind of person who is more shy, although I like her in my heart and confess to her that I am embarrassed. I only know how silly to be nice to her. When I was cooking, I always quietly ordered good dishes for her.
My cousin said to me, "Brother, don't give her that much better food, or you'll grow fatter." It's too fat to look good! ”
Qiu Ju was also there at the time, and she said somewhat shyly: "What's wrong with me getting fat, and not marrying you?" ”
The cousin took over and smiled, "Of course I don't want you!" However, my brother can want you! Would you like to marry my brother? ”
Qiu Ju's face immediately turned red, and she said somewhat angrily, "What are you talking about?" ”
My cousin looked at her and said, "Don't pretend, I know you like my brother too." We are good friends, if you marry my brother, we are relatives, how good! Besides, my brother is handsome too! Talented, or poet! There will definitely be a chance in the future. ”
Qiu Ju did not speak and walked away with a red face.
I angrily said to my cousin, "Who made you mess around?" You see, people are not happy, right? ”
The cousin smiled and said, "Brother, it's all right, she's happy in her heart!" ”
Originally, I was a little worried, but I didn't expect that what my cousin said was still true. Qiu Ju will hang out with me alone in the future. We fell in love very quickly. It seems that girls still understand girls!
In those days, although we had nothing, our pure love was the most beautiful experience in the world.
This night, Yang Jiang's birthday, we ate together, and drank some wine. I rarely drink. I got drunk without two drinks.
Confused, I remembered that Qiu Ju helped me back to the dormitory, but I didn't expect that she was still quite energetic, she took my arm, leaned against me, and carried me forward. I felt the tenderness on her chest, drank the wine again, and my heart became hot. Hands groped over her. Yang Jiang was also drunk and supported by two other girls.
As soon as the factory door reached the small bridge, I couldn't hold back any longer and threw up.
When I woke up the next day, my cousin told me that you had vomited on Qiu Ju yesterday, what happened to you?
I was embarrassed and was thinking of apologizing to Qiu Ju. Unexpectedly, as soon as my cousin left, she came.
She looked at me with concern and said, "How's it going, is it better?" ”
I sat up and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, did I throw up on you last night?" ”
Instead of getting angry, she smiled and whispered, "It's okay, I'll just wash it off." ”
After saying that, she looked at me again and said shyly, "It's just that your hand is too dishonest, what are you messing around with?" ”
I also vaguely recalled last night's events, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I rarely drink, so I get drunk as soon as I drink." ”
Qiu Ju blushed at this time and said, "What are you anxious about?" When we are married, you can do whatever you want! ”
With a warmth in my heart, I solemnly said to her: "Qiu Ju, you can rest assured, when I go home, I will go to your house to propose to you." In a few years, will we get married? ”
She looked at me tenderly and smiled. Her smile reminded me of those beautiful flowers in the mountains.
Soon, however, the efficiency of the factory became worse and worse, and we paid a pitifully small monthly salary. Finally, after we discussed, Yang Jiang decided to take us home and then go to Guangdong to work.
When I got home, I asked my parents to go to Qiu Ju's house to propose to me.
I thought it would go well, but my parents wouldn't agree. Saying that I am so thin and weak, Sven Wen, has no strength, and may not have anything to do in the future, afraid that Qiu Ju will suffer with me.
My parents explained repeatedly, and Qiu Ju's parents were not moved.
Later, the father was angry and said, Son, if you can't do it, it seems that you have no fate with her. You are still young, hurry up and go outside to break in, have a little bit of success, where can you not find a good woman?
Although I was not willing, but the matter was over, not long after, Qiu Ju also went outside to work again under the arrangement of her parents. We didn't even meet again. Don't know where she went?
In desperation, I also went to Guangdong to work. After that, I never saw Qiu Ju again.
It wasn't until after I got married that I heard that she had also married into another village in our town, and that her husband was also an ordinary migrant worker.
After more than ten years, I heard that Qiu Ju had a disease and later died without being cured. She was not yet forty years old.
I was saddened to hear this news. For our once wonderful youth. For our innocent first love, for the unfortunate fate of Qiu Ju, a kind and beautiful woman.
But I will always remember in my heart her young and beautiful face. Like an ordinary and delicate mountain flower, it blooms in my heart forever.
