Oral description: Zhu Zilei (from Ji'an, Jiangxi)
Author: Fat Grandpa
My part-time job story begins in 2001. On March 12 of that year, I will always remember that day, with a misty drizzle in the air. Carrying a sail bag and backpack, I followed a neighbor's sister-in-law on the road south to Dongguan.
In Dongguan, I have met all kinds of people and seen all kinds of love stories. Among them, there is emotion, there is sorrow, there is joy, there is sadness. Nowadays, time has passed, and looking back on the past, the first character that comes to mind is a girl named Xiaofu that I met when I was working in Humen Town, Dongguan.
Previously, the neighbor's sister-in-law worked in an electrical appliance factory in the Nanzha Industrial Zone of Humen Town, because of her feminine face, a warehouse manager in the factory had a love for her, but the sister-in-law had a marriage contract, in order to avoid trouble, she proposed to leave. After returning home, he married his fiancé at the end of the year.
After marriage, in order to improve the situation of the family, the eldest brother of the neighbor went to Shanghai to work on the construction, and the eldest sister-in-law heard that the warehouse manager also left her job shortly after she left. Therefore, after her husband went to Shanghai, the sister-in-law returned to Humen again. Just in time, I was idle at home. The electrical appliance factory where the sister-in-law worked before was well treated. My mother asked her to take me south, and my sister-in-law happily agreed.
When we arrived in Humen, the factory did not recruit workers. The sister-in-law went to the previous supervisor and asked for accommodation. The supervisor is a middle-aged man from Xiangxi, Hunan. At that time, the factory gangs were serious, and the villagers liked to hug each other for warmth. Generally, when there is a promotion, it is recommended that the fellow countrymen be promoted. In this way, a solid circle is formed.
This Hunan supervisor is a man of love, cares for his fellow villagers, and is also good at discovering the talents of his employees. He had not read for several years, and it was reported that he had been looking for a job for two months, and even almost starved down the street, and when he was desperate, he did not come to the electrical appliance factory.
Since then, he has studied hard, step by step, and sat in the position of supervisor. Subsequently, his neighbors and township parties successively went to the electrical factory to defect to him. He arranged them one by one, but he employed meritocratics. This, in particular, has won the trust of factory owners. As a result, his position became more and more secure.
The Hunan supervisor was deeply impressed by the sister-in-law next door, and during the period, he deliberately proposed the sister-in-law to be a quality inspector several times. The quality control department has an easier job and better promotion prospects. It is only the quality control department that receives a monthly salary, and the assembly department where the sister-in-law is located, more work and more, the sister-in-law urgently needs money, and refuses the kindness of the supervisor. This time, after resigning, he will go to Humen. The eldest sister-in-law had no other way but to ask the Hunan supervisor for help.
At the door of the electrical appliance factory, I met the middle-aged supervisor, flat-headed, with a big belly, and it was obvious that the food was good. The eldest sister-in-law told us about the situation, and without the slightest hesitation, he agreed to help. Sure enough, there were people in the DPRK who were good at doing things, and the supervisor and the security guard said something and took us into the factory.
After that, the formalities were also particularly smooth. So, much later, I had the illusion that it was extremely easy to find a job and enter the factory. Of course, later I learned that the reason why the supervisor is so good to the sister-in-law, in addition to his fact of being fair and honest, there is another factor that cannot be ignored.
The sister-in-law's appearance looks from a certain side, quite like a friend of the supervisor. The friend of the opposite sex had given warmth to the supervisor. However, one day, the salary was paid, and the woman went to the post office to send money home, and never returned to the factory. Her disappearance was widely discussed, and the workers regretted for a few days, as if nothing had happened. Only the supervisor, depressed for a long time. It was not until later that the sister-in-law of the neighbor entered the factory, and the supervisor seemed to have met a good person, and he saw more light on his face.
Back at the electrical factory, my sister-in-law continued to go to the assembly department, while I was assigned to the packaging workshop. When I first arrived in the South, I was curious about everything in the factory. What you see, you want to know. At that time, I was young and energetic, and I didn't feel tired even if I worked late.
The electrical appliance factory was normal every night until eleven o'clock, the brightly lit workshop, the day and night of toiling, I did not feel bored at the time, I saw a larger world in the south, full of curiosity about everything. In the packaging workshop, I was the smallest one. In addition, he is a newcomer, naturally very diligent, willing to do anything.
But whenever the old employees have any orders, which do not belong to my work, as long as they explain, I will happily accept. Over time, they will have anything irrelevant to them, and they will call me.
However, it is precisely because of my nature that I have won the trust of some people. At that time, I liked to make friends and made many good brothers. Among them, it is inevitable that some big sisters have praised me. Even, when going out for supper, I like to call me together.
Every time I go, I eat and drink in vain. I'm really sorry, but the electrical appliance factory has to bet 45 days of wages, and I look forward to getting the first month's salary quickly, so that I can ask them back.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally look forward to the first salary. I didn't work for a month, and I received 375 pieces in my hand. I remember it very clearly. Although it is not big, I am very happy, after all, the first time always has a special meaning. Moreover, this is handmade money, which is naturally of great significance.
I chose a time, invited a few good workers in the workshop, three or four people, men and women, and called the neighbor sister-in-law who took me out to eat supper together. The location of the supper is at the supper stall across the road from the factory. At the end of the month, several nearby factories almost all paid wages, and the supper market was also particularly lively.
The workers gathered together in pairs, toasted and drank, and the song of youth fluttered in the air. I didn't smoke, I followed my co-workers, I also smoked Temers, and I loved to drink Mizu drinks. Now that I think back on those times, I still feel so unhappy, and my heart is full of sweetness.
It's just that the innocent joy and smile that was free of impurities in those days are now almost impossible to find.
On the day of supper, my co-workers and I went to take a seat in advance, found a place to sit down, and soon, the personnel arrived one after another. The sister-in-law next door was the last to arrive, and in addition to her, she brought another girl. I always felt that I had seen the girl somewhere, and I was very familiar with it, but I couldn't tell where I had met her.
There were six of us, sitting at the round table at the food stall. I arrogantly asked everyone to order, and after ordering, my sister-in-law introduced the girl, who was also in the assembly department, responsible for sending and receiving. I remembered that I had indeed seen her before.
About half a month ago, I was assigned by a co-worker to go to the assembly department to find someone to theorize on the issue of the number of products. The person I was communicating with was the girl named Xiaofu. Instead of negotiating, the two of us quarreled. I should have seen that I was a newcomer, a rookie, and she blamed me and put all the responsibility on our packaging department.
I am a person with a sense of collective honor, and I can talk about my personal lack of ability, but I can't slander our team. So, I argued. But after all, I was just out of school, where was her opponent. When I came home in a daze, the co-workers who sent me to preach were laughing happily.
It turned out that he had long known that this would be the result, and he had some opinions about Xiao Fu, and sending me this time was nothing more than teasing me. Later, somehow, this matter was known to the sister-in-law of the neighbor. The transceiver Xiaofu is also an old employee, and the sister-in-law next door has long known, the sister-in-law asked the reason, Xiaofu said one by one.
The eldest sister-in-law told me about my situation, and Xiaofu felt that the force was too strong and inappropriate. Therefore, I deliberately wanted to ask my sister-in-law to be thoughtful. Overtime in electrical appliance factories is a common occurrence, and it has not waited for the right time. Instead, I took the initiative to invite guests, and my sister-in-law called Xiaofu to join me. When things started, we had a feeling of not fighting and not knowing each other.
Because of the first treat, I didn't have enough to drink enough. But I don't know that at the wine table, the eldest sister-in-law and Xiaofu are the real wine house masters. The two male co-workers in the packaging department, Brother Chuang and Makoto, had their names, and they were also quickly defeated. That night, it was nominally me who invited me, and finally because she was drunk, Xiaofu took the initiative to pay the bill.
When my wine dissipated, I woke up and understood that Xiaofu had settled the account that night, and I was very guilty and very moved. The next day, she was deliberately guarded at the door of the workshop on the first floor.
When she came, quickly apologize and thank her again. The expression on Xiao Fu's face was cold, and she said, It's okay, you're welcome. After saying this, she turned back and preached, I listen to your sister-in-law, you are an ambitious person. But you only came for a few days, you learned to drink, mo followed a few of them to get bad.
I can't imagine that I have some good intentions, but I have achieved such a result, and I can't help but feel a little sad and frustrated. Back in the packing workshop, Brother Chuang saw me like this and asked me why. I'll tell you why.
Brother Chuang said, you don't look at her as a child, in fact, what did she do behind her back, which person in the factory doesn't know? I chased after and asked what she had done. Brother Chuang thought about it and said, Forget it, you are still young, I will not tell you this, lest she run to your sister-in-law again and say that we have brought you bad.
The more he said this, the more curious I became. But at that time, I didn't understand it, and I didn't understand many things at all, and I didn't pay attention to it. Although there are four or five hundred people in the electrical factory, and there are more female workers and fewer male workers in the factory, it is very strange that as long as a person knows, after that, the number of meetings will increase.
Sometimes at the supper stall, sometimes in the shido shop, sometimes in the factory canteen, every time I saw, I did not dare to lean forward, a few times, the four eyes facing each other, really can't avoid, I had to nod. Although Xiao Fu had a gesture, she couldn't see any change in expression on her face. By then, I had already heard some things about Xiaofu.
If she shows a smile, she is actually a good-looking beauty. Such a girl is easy to be liked and pursued. However, the male workers of the electrical appliance factory would rather please the ordinary women than ask her for pleasure. The reason is very simple, she is a cold beauty, before the three workshops a male worker, wrote a courtship letter, the result was made public by her.
However, Makoto told me another rumor, in this version of the story, Xiaofu's work in the electrical appliance factory is only one of them. She also had a part-time job outside, just once a week night. Although once a week, the salary is higher than that of the electrical appliance factory.
I chased and asked, what factory has such a high wage? Mako pretends to be a high-level road, night factory? I asked: Night factory? Mako smiled, waiter. I still don't know what to call it, continue to ask, can you introduce us to go too? Mako smiled and said, don't say it's you, I would like to go, but we can't do this job.
I asked again why. Mako continues to laugh, you little fart, you don't understand it, people are doing night clubs in bars, do you understand? At that time, I really didn't understand the meaning. I am a studious person, I don't understand things, I hope to understand and do it.
So, once, when the sister-in-law of the neighbor took me to Humen to see the scene, I quietly asked about Xiaofu's part-time job on the way. The sister-in-law next door took a bite and scolded, is it not the fierce son who is misleading you again, you don't listen to their nonsense, ruining the reputation of the girl.
I was very naïve at that time, and I really understood the meaning of the words of my sister-in-law and the fierce son, which was after a year of working in the electrical appliance factory. At that time, the rules of survival in the factory and the worldly feelings in society were somewhat understood. At that time, I was young and naïve, and I had a "mentor", and I quickly became a person who was almost the same as the fierce son.
As for chasing girls, I didn't fall behind. Under the leadership of brother Chuang, he ran to the side of the female worker's laundry and watched the girls singing and laughing. At that time, girls were also very simple. But whenever a boy takes the initiative to show kindness, it almost doesn't take much effort to kiss Fangze.
I was a clumsy person, and my first girlfriend chased after me for three months before I managed to hold hands. However, with experience, it was much smoother after that. It's just that my girlfriend is not an idle person, she has a marriage contract in her hometown, but she has not yet officially completed the marriage. When I learned of the situation, I immediately broke up. Maybe in retaliation, less than half a month after breaking up with my ex, I already had another peach blossom by my side.
However, compared to the fierce brother, such achievements are still too far behind. He had stepped on two boats at the same time, and two female workers on the second and third floors, and was able to do it with ease, and did not be discovered for half a year.
During this time, the sister-in-law next door told me several times to stay away from them. My heart is already wild there, and it is too late to change it. On payday again, the electrical appliance factory took a day off and wandered around during the day. Skating, watching videos, and going to the book city again. When I returned to the dormitory, it was late afternoon. Just sat down, brother in.
When he saw me, he said that today he had a birthday, and he would take me to supper in the evening and let me see it. I thought that supper was nothing more than a food stall to eat and drink. Who knows, he sat still in the dormitory, and waited for another half an hour, until the fierce son returned. Only to go out together, to the factory gate, wait for a while, came two motorcycles, there is a car called Brother Zhou.
We each got on our motorcycles and headed for Humen Town. When I went there, I realized that the place was the legendary night scene. Among them, it is the bar, but the lights inside are dim and the night is foggy. There are many small rooms in the bar, and those who come to serve tea and pour water and dance with songs and dances are called princesses by Makoto.
Watching them and the princess holding hands and hugging each other, playing and making trouble, I was somewhat unaccustomed. There was a princess who took the initiative to comfort me, drink with me, play cards. I started to be a little restrained, and slowly got used to it. After about half an hour, I don't know how much wine I drank, and I felt some headaches, like migraines were coming again.
In the small room, it is even more depressing. I got up and prepared to go outside and blow the wind. Walking outside the bar, the wind blew and I felt a little better. He took out another cigarette, finished it, and turned back to the house. Walking into the aisle, I suddenly saw the girl walking in front of me, and the back image was very xiaofu.
She took a plate, walked forward, and quickly turned into a house. I drank some wine, my guts were fatter, and I actually followed, the door of the house was not closed, leaving a slit, I saw the girl's face through the light of the door slit, although dressed, but it was indeed Xiaofu.
Back in the house, Makoto and Brother Chuang are still singing enthusiastically with the princess. They didn't notice my abnormality, I didn't tell them, I saw Xiaofu.
That night, my heart has been uneasy, thinking of what Makoto told me before, Xiaofu was drying the night club, and it turned out that the night club waiter was a princess. I always remember her taking the initiative to pay the bill, and I am grateful in my heart. In addition, the sister-in-law next door often talks to me about how good she is. I can't help but think of her as a sister-like figure, hoping that she will have a good life, so naturally I don't want her to be a princess.
I'd rather believe I'm wrong and that the person isn't her. The next day, I made an excuse to go to the assembly department. When there was no one around Av, he pretended to talk to her about work and quietly said to her: I saw you at the night show last night. The answer I want to hear is no.
And as a result, she said, you see me? Then you are not the same. Originally, I also felt that you were different from them, and now it seems that men don't have a good thing. Being so humiliated, I felt more and more sad in my heart, not sad that she scolded me, but sad that she admitted that she worked part-time at night.
Brother Chuang saw that I was not in the right mood and thought that I had broken up with my girlfriend. After work, call the fierce son together, and the two of us ran outside the factory to eat supper. Naturally there was less beer, and when I drank until I was confused, I couldn't help but tell the story of seeing Xiaofu at night.
Who knows, on the second day, the factory was actually full of rumors. For a time, the reputation of Princess Xiaofu was spread throughout the factory. A few days later, Xiao Fu left her job.
Knowing that she was gone, Mako clapped her hands and sang. Later, I learned why he was so happy. Because he had stopped her and wanted to laugh. But the smile did not get, but she slapped it.
The sister-in-law next door knew about me and knew that I was the main cause of her departure. Forcibly took me out of the electrical appliance factory, because before going south, she had promised in front of her mother that she would protect me well and not learn badly outside. But in the more than a year of the electrical factory, I have changed dramatically.
The night my sister-in-law pulled me out of the factory, she said something to me that I still remember vividly.
It was about Xiao Fu's story, she went to the night club to work part-time, the sister-in-law knew, not only knew, but also the sister-in-law gave her the idea. At that time, Xiaofu's ex-boyfriend was in trouble outside, and he owed a large debt, and the debt collector cut off one of his fingers, and if he still couldn't pay it out within the specified time, every half a month, he cut off a finger.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Xiaofu, and it was her ex-boyfriend who abandoned her. But she was affectionate, and when he found her, she softened. She approached her sister-in-law for advice, and in order to save her, she went to the night show. The last time she was at the bar, it was the last time she went, who had thought, I also went there, and also met her.
My sister-in-law said nothing, and I was momentarily there. After a long time, I found that many things were not clear. Thinking about it, headache, I simply don't think about it. After leaving Humen, I spent a year in my hometown. The following year, I went south to Shenzhen. This time, into the Pingshan BYD. The sister-in-law next door, after returning home, has not gone out to work.
At BYD, I saw more people and things. It's just that none of that has anything to do with today's story. Now, many years have passed. The electrical factory and Xiaofu, the sister-in-law, the fierce son, the brother and other characters still remember the truth. It's just that some things are blown away by the wind. And some guilt, forever left in the heart. (Graphics and text are irrelevant)
