#Green Onion Years# 30 years ago a friend of Heshan County, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, Zhong Lujian, are you okay? I haven't seen you since 1992 and lost touch forever, but somehow, in today's memory decline, your name is always engraved in my head and can be called out at any time.
Maybe it was your selfless help to me at that time that made me feel very grateful and remembered when I was 17 years old. Until now, your refined short hair, round-rimmed glasses, pink body shirt and navy jeans, not very beautiful but refreshing and capable look are still imprinted in your mind.
In the past 30 years, a group of friends who work together have also gotten along for more than two years, and other friends can't name them, and they can't remember what they look like, only for you! Always fresh in mind!
In October 1991, after graduating from middle school, I was idle at home, and a classmate who usually played very well invited me to go to Guangdong to work together.
My mother didn't trust me to go, saying that I had never been out of the house when I was so young, what if I met a bad guy. At that time, I was young and did not know the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and I always wanted to go to the beautiful world outside to see, so I secretly registered my mother at the recruitment office.
I remember the middle of October, my hometown was already slightly cold to wear a sweater jacket, but it was still very hot when I came to Guangdong. As soon as I got off the bus, I heard the locals say that there are so many northerners coming and wearing so much.
At that time, The Cantonese called everyone outside Guangdong northerners. There is also a serious sense of xenophobia and discrimination. But Zhong Lujian did not have this kind of idea, whether it is work or life is always very warm and friendly to us.
The factory we entered was called Heshan Toy Factory. There are headquarters and branches. We were assigned to a branch in the county seat. Since the classmates got off the car and saw the dormitory in the factory, they didn't want to do it, and they heard that it was an old hospital morgue that was transformed. The dim corridors, the creaking of the old slabs, the public toilets at the end of the corridors, and the fact that I did not dare to go alone at night were indeed terrifying. Even the baths were uniformly on the balcony behind the second floor, without any shelter, and there were often malicious men crawling on the courtyard wall to peek.
My classmates were frightened and called me to go home together. And I think that if you come here, you will be safe, and after all, there are more than a hundred people living here. First experience the experience, it is really not too late to go home. So my classmates went home, and I stayed alone.
Because of hesitation, the high-paid sewing department was filled, and I was divided into hand sewing departments. It is that each kind of plush toy goes through the sewing of the car, stuffing the cotton, and finally nailing the feet with needle and thread, and sewing the thread of the cotton, which is the last process.
I remember that the hand sewing workshop we were assigned to was upstairs in a food factory. There were fifty or sixty people in the workshop. Each workshop has a team leader and a quality inspector, also called a transceiver. All locals. Zhong Lujian is our quality inspector and transceiver. There is also a group leader, also a girl in her 20s, who looks a bit like my third sister, so I have a sense of affection for her in my heart. But now I forgot what her name was.
The first time I saw the name Zhong Lujian, I felt that this name did not match her people at all. Always wonder if her parents want to have a boy!
I'm not a person who cut corners or stitches randomly for the sake of speed. So do slow every month salary is less than others. I remember that I only took more than 90 yuan in the first month's salary, and I sent 50 yuan to my family and kept 40 yuan for myself to eat.
Later, everyone else had three hundred dollars a month, while I only had two hundred yuan or so. Others say that I am stupid, first hand over the goods, to rework and then say, so that you can make more money. And I never did. Although my rework rate is low.
One day, the quality inspector Zhong Lujian called me and said that my goods were doing well, that every stitch and line was not sloppy, and that I was transferred to the model room to work. The model room is a sample that foreign customers look at before ordering, and each new product can be done in a small number, but the quality must be good. Since then, I have never had to grab goods with others and rush to work. Wages also rose to more than four hundred dollars a month! Everyone else casts an envious eye.
After half a year or so, one night suddenly the toothache started, at that time small, the toothache did not know to see a doctor, thinking that in a few days it would be fine. Who knows that after staying up for ten days, it is getting more and more painful. Finally, the pain was so painful that I was lying on the bed with tears flowing and I couldn't sleep all night. He took a leave of absence to rest in the dormitory.
One day, Zhong Lujian learned that I had a toothache for many days, so he came to see me in the dormitory. And accompanied me to heshan County People's Hospital to see a dentist. The doctor helped me deal with the tooth nerve of the tooth decay, and the pain was stopped at once. The second time I knew how to go to see it myself, the doctor helped me fix my tooth decay, and there was no more pain. It turned out to be so simple, because I didn't understand it, and it hurt for so many days in vain!
At that time, I was young and didn't know how to thank others. Now that I think about it, I'm so ashamed!
A year later, our branch factories were moved back to headquarters, and the dormitories were also new buildings, each with its own bathroom. But Zhong Lujian did not come with us, there was no mobile phone at that time, and we cut off contact from then on.
Zhong Lujian, after so many years, maybe you have forgotten me, or you don't remember that I have appeared in your life! A sea of people, just hope you are well? I hope to see you again and say thank you in person!
The first photo was taken by us going to Nanshan Park in Heshan County, and Zhong Lujian was the first one on the left side of the upper row, and she put her hand on my shoulder.
