In 2007, I worked at a cabinet factory in Shangnan, Shajing, where I was in charge of personnel and logistics. Logistics seems to be a fat difference, but in fact, our factory claims to be a modern joint-stock enterprise, which is nothing more than a gimmick.
Important positions in the factory, such as finance, procurement, logistics, etc., are guarded by the boss's cronies. Although I did some logistical work, in fact, I did all the work sent by people, and it was not much different from the wooden people. The only difference is that the Wooden Man has no life, while I can say it will run.
However, it is not possible to say that there is not a single right. At the very least, I can have some room for accommodation when it comes to recruiting. For example, recruiting an ordinary worker into the factory is not too difficult for me. Even, you can secretly get some benefits.
Although the kitchen cabinet factory is quite ok, but there is a lot of dust in the workshop, the workshop general workers are not a good job, I will not recommend to my father and fellow villagers. As for the so-called private transactions, it is because I have read books for several years, and my heart is a little high, and I disdain to do those dirty things.
Although I made an invisible rule for myself, a year after entering the factory, I made an exception and recruited a woman into the factory, and she was still a strange woman.
The day I met the woman was Wednesday, and Shangnan Village held a public welfare job fair, inviting the more important enterprises in Shangnan to let recruiters and job seekers face to face. Our factory is not a famous enterprise, but it is also invited.
I've been to job fairs like this before. For our factory, how many people are recruited is actually not important, the boss wants nothing more than a publicity opportunity.
The boss pays attention to it, and the task is pressed down layer by layer. The manager deliberately listed several tall positions, and the requirements for the position were higher than normal recruitment. In this way, people who do not know the inside story think that this is a good and good enterprise.
However, whether the enterprise is good or not, the employees in the factory, or the grass-roots employees who work in the workshop, have the most say. When I entered the factory, I went to the workshop to understand the situation. At that time, I saw dust flying in the air, and my heart was troubled. In particular, the pungent formaldehyde is even more intolerable. I stayed for a minute and tried to escape, not knowing how the workshop workers stayed inside all day. However, for many migrant workers, what about not being a frog in warm water?
One hour after the opening hour of the public welfare job fair in Shangnan, more than a dozen people came to inquire one after another, all of which were similar to management or clerk positions. But I did not leave a profile, if I stayed, it proved that I passed the initial examination, the interviewer got the interview form, at a certain time agreed, went to the factory to interview the head of the relevant department.
I know that those positions are just a false shot in the factory, in fact, there is no vacancy, just to meet the requirements of public welfare recruitment, and want to expand the exposure opportunities. If I let people through, I'll just let them run in vain.
When the recruitment was nearing the end, a middle-aged woman suddenly broke into my seat, and from her dress, I knew at a glance that she had just come to Shenzhen from her hometown. The woman asked us if the factory recruited general workers, she had a lot of strength, not afraid of hardship. I was just about to say no.
She ignored my answer and kept talking. At the end, I almost got down on my knees with me and begged me to give her a job.
I was all right anyway, so I listened to her. She had only been in Shenzhen for three days, she had come alone, and she originally wanted to earn money, but who had thought that after getting out of the car under the Songgang Bridge, she found that at some point, the only hundred yuan on her body had been stolen. Fortunately, twenty dollars were hidden in the trouser pocket, and this life-saving money took three days. Today, she is exhausted and can no longer find a job, and she has no way to live.
After listening to the woman's encounter, my heart suddenly moved. I was at the train station, and I was also stolen, and I could understand her mood. The woman saw that my expression had changed and pleaded with me again and again.
I asked her, our factory work is very tired, unhygienic, not much money, such a factory, she is really willing to enter? Her answer was firm. I thought about it and asked her to wait for me outside first, and when the job fair was over, I took her back to the factory to go through the formalities. She smiled and said to me, Brother, you are such a good person, a good person.
Half an hour later, the job fair was over. I walked out, and sure enough, the woman was still waiting there. I found a secluded place and told her about the situation in the cabinet factory workshop, and even exaggerated it. She wasn't scared off by me, put on a canvas duffel bag, and followed me back to the factory.
It seems that she is really cornered. I felt pity on my heart, thinking that I was going to eat anyway, and after passing a fast food restaurant, I turned in and invited her to eat a fast food. After eating, she solemnly promised me, little brother, when I am paid, I will definitely invite you to eat a big meal.
After talking about this, it seems that it is not enough, and I add another sentence: If you have the opportunity to go to my hometown in the future, I will make a spicy hot pot for you to eat, and I will ensure that you will feast.
I had already thought about it and put her in the assembly hall. Compared to other workshops, the assembly department is better in the end, and the poison gas is not so heavy. Although it is inevitable that there will be some physical work, it should not be a problem to look at her physique.
The factory did not recruit general workers, but in the factory for a year, I have never used my power for personal gain, the supervisor knows the belly, at this moment I want to introduce a person into the factory, naturally there is no obstacle. But the premise is that this person must have something to do with me. So, I agreed with the woman, called her sister-in-law, and called her cousin. Naturally, she was willing, and called out to my cousin a few times in succession.
Since he has called his cousin, the play must be fully acted, and he cannot show the stuffing in front of the workers. After several exchanges, calling and calling, I actually called her smooth mouth, and in my heart, I really regarded her as a cousin. My cousin also cares deeply about me.
Although the work she did was hard, she never complained in front of me. Every time she appeared in front of me, she was always joyful, as if she were a child, never worried or troubled. Instead, I was at a loss for work, love, and the life ahead.
In fact, at that time, I was already in love, and it was reasonable to say that there would be no such gloomy psychology. It's just that my girlfriend works in Shanghai, and her education is higher than mine, and her job is better than mine. Although she did not look down on me, my inner inferiority was enough to defeat countless me.
Of course, my cousin was not stupid, but on the contrary, her observation ability was quite powerful, and she saw my sadness. She couldn't do anything but accompany me to barbecue and beer when I needed to.
Finally, one day, I knew that I didn't deserve my girlfriend and offered to break up with her. When I hung up the phone, my heart ached. So he went to drink, sat down at the supper stall, and got very drunk. My cousin was very distressed, and she didn't know how to persuade me, so she just let me drink until I was happy.
On the way back, I threw up, and my clothes and pants were all dirty. My cousin sent me back to my dormitory, and asked my co-workers to give her my changed clothes. She took it to the dormitory and washed it clean. The next evening, my cousin returned her clothes to me. It was the first time besides my mother that a woman had washed my clothes.
After that, my cousin took the initiative to wash the quilt cover and quilt several times. When my colleagues saw me, they all said that I had a good cousin and envied me.
I enjoyed this happiness and was planning whether it was time for my cousin to learn to use computers, and when she had the opportunity later, she could leave the workshop and find a more relaxed job.
After finding a time, I mentioned my idea to my cousin, and she was glad that I was thinking about her future, but she said that she was stupid, afraid of learning computers, the teacher of the training class was impatient to teach, and she would live up to my kindness.
I was obsessed with teaching my cousin to learn computers, but I didn't realize that she was thinking about me and didn't want to cause me trouble. So, she refuted the questions she said one by one. I even said I could teach her without a workshop, which was only responsible for teaching typing and office software. What I taught her was the skill to really solve the real problems of the work.
My cousin said that it takes time and energy to learn computers, there is no training class nearby, and the conditions are not enough. I blurted out that I had long wanted to move out of the factory to rent a house, I could go with an old computer, as long as you have time, you can go to school at any time, my teacher can go online at any time, to ensure that it is competent.
Hearing me say this, my cousin was anxious. She said loudly, little brother, you must not be like this, computer things, I really can't learn. You know, I'm just a junior high school student. Alas, I told you that before coming to Shenzhen, I also went to study computers for a few days, but I didn't have that mind at all. I know you're doing it for my own good, but if you have to do that, you're driving the ducks to the shelves and playing the harp to the cows.
Reluctantly, I had to stop thinking about it. In my heart, I have some opinions about my cousin. Even, for a while after that, I didn't see her. She seemed to know that I was angry and didn't come looking for me, and my life once returned to what it was before I knew her.
A month later, one night, the head of the assembly department came to me, and when there was no one around, he whispered, your cousin has been in some situation recently, have you noticed? At first, I didn't understand the supervisor's words, thinking that she had made a mistake in her work. When I asked, I knew it wasn't. After repeated questioning, he asked a panicked thing.
It turned out that the supervisor found that the cousin had recently left work and was in a hurry to go outside the factory. He didn't care at the time, but once he went to see a friend on Shang south Avenue. Seeing his cousin walking with a man, the two talked and laughed, and he became curious, followed them, and saw them enter a rental house. I remember you told me that your cousin is not in Shenzhen.
Of course I didn't believe it, and said to the supervisor, you see the wrong person, right? The supervisor said, at first I thought I was looking at the wrong person. Later, when I returned to the factory, I overheard your cousin's roommate say that she hadn't been back to her dorm this week.
The next night, when the workshop was out of work, I hid outside the factory, and sure enough, I saw my cousin come out and go in the direction of Shangnan Avenue. I quietly followed her to Upper South Avenue, where she first went to the fruit shop to buy a few apples, and then at a stud store, bought a bottle of beer, a bottle of Coke, and then walked to the rental house.
She went upstairs and I didn't follow up. It seems that the supervisor was right. I went back to Shangnan, ordered a stir-fried powder on the side of the road, and ordered another bottle of beer. My feelings were a little complicated, and I said why.
After that, when I was paid twice in a row, my cousin came to invite me to supper. At first, she promised to pay me a big meal. She did indeed do it, the first month of salary, although it was less than a month, only received two hundred yuan, but she spent more than a hundred yuan on the guest that night. Thereafter, on every payday, she would come to me for a late night snack. Although I always take the initiative to check out, her heart warms me.
However, on both occasions, I found reasons to refuse. The sister-in-law also realized something, did not say much, and only walked away silently.
Soon it was the end of the year again, and ten minutes before I left work, my cousin suddenly came to the office to find me. In addition to the first time she entered the factory to go through the formalities, she also looked for me from the future office. She had come to get her resignation report, and as she was leaving, she whispered to me if I was free at night and if she wanted to invite me to dinner. When I saw the resignation slip, I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart and nodded.
When we sat down at the restaurant and ordered, we didn't talk. To break the embarrassment, I let the boss serve the beer first, wait for the wine to come up, start it, and drink it alone. My cousin also followed my example and poured wine into her mouth. After two drinks, I dared to look at her squarely, and her eyes were full of sorrow and reluctance. She didn't say anything, but I understood the whole thing inside.
The dish is on the table, and then you touch it one by one. After drinking two bottles, I put on two more bottles and served them three times in a row. We finally stopped fighting, and my cousin started telling me about her and him.
The man she had met by chance once when she was shopping in Shangnan, working in a hardware factory, was also a general worker, the income was not high, about the same age as her, and the family situation was the same. Except for him, his family is in his hometown. He worked alone to support the whole family.
She was with him, an emotional need, but also a need for life. It not only warms each other, but also saves some overhead, which is beneficial to both parties. At the beginning of their union, the cousin made a three-chapter agreement with him to come and go freely. Last month, his wife came to Shenzhen from her hometown, and he coveted his cousin's goodness and expressed his desire to have a showdown with his wife. The cousin naturally did not comply and resolutely moved back to the factory.
However, the reason why the cousin quit her job and went home was that she had no hidden feelings. During the time when the cousin was not at home, the child's father had a crush and had already put it into action. The cousin's return home this time is not only a family that completes men, but also a family that defends herself.
The world is not simply black and white, and people also have more complex emotional expressions. The phenomenon of temporary living together like cousins is visible throughout the Pearl River Delta.
I will not simply evaluate or belittle anyone, just thinking about my cousin's return this time, I am afraid that I will never see her again, and a spring of water will inexplicably gush out of my eyes. After my cousin came home, we called several times. Slowly, the connection was severed. However, I think of her all the time.
The image that often comes to mind is when my cousin sees the tears in my eyes and reaches out her hands to wipe the corners of my eyes. That was the first and only time I had been in close contact with my cousin. Although it was only a three-second light touch, it left me with eternal memories.
