In the 1990s, I worked in Humen for several years. It was the fall of 1997, and by chance, I went into an electrical appliance factory. The factory belongs to The Village of Shajiao, Humen, with thousands of people. If calculated according to the number of employees, it should be called a large factory.
There are several dormitory buildings in the factory alone. I live in the C dormitory, room 302 on the third floor. The room had ten beds arranged, except for one upper bunk, which was vacant, and the others came from nine provinces. Migrant workers from all over the world, all over the motherland, are available from all directions. This is not surprising, it is surprising that no one in the same dormitory is from the same province, which is a rare probability.
Forgetting who started the head, the housemates called each other, no longer directly called their names, but used the provincial name instead. Originally, it was to find some fun for the boring part-time work life. After shouting a few times, everyone thought it was very interesting, and over time, it became a habit. As a result, when the personnel changed later, in order to keep the name of the "Nine Provincial Administration", we still used the previous province to call the new roommate.
The name of the "Nine Provincial Administration" was proposed by Hunan, a person in Hunan who usually speaks little, but whenever he opens his mouth, he can always be ordered to the point, which makes people smile. He was three points behind in the college entrance examination, and he passed by the university.
"Lost in a millimeter, fallacious in a thousand miles" has been fully reflected in Hunan. You can imagine how deeply the grief in his heart should be. However, he has a rare juvenile and old-fashioned trait, and is only willing to show his happy and pleasant side to others.
The other people in the dormitory, too, have their own characteristics, and each person's experience is enough to constitute a separate article. However, the character I want to talk about today is not a worker in the dormitory, but a female worker who works part-time in a hotel.
It's just that any story has its ins and outs, and there are causes and consequences. The story of the hotel's female worker is closely related to a character in our dormitory. To tell the life of a female hotel worker, we must start with the "Nine Provincial Administrations".
The electrical appliance factory only did not work overtime on Sunday nights, and that night became a holiday for employees. As soon as the bell rings in the afternoon, the workers rush to the dormitory like a tide. The factory canteen, which is usually crowded, has also become empty. Almost half of the workers chose to go outside the factory for a late-night snack.
The situation of the "Nine Provincial Administrations" can also be used as a certain aspect and epitome of the electrical appliance factory. The nine workers in the dormitory, except for me who honestly went to the canteen to eat, everyone else would go back to the dormitory first. If you are dragging or have a favorite object, you will rush to the front and go to the bathroom to take a shower. After bathing and changing clothes, they will head to the agreed location to design the best plan for the upcoming hugs and kisses. Bachelors who have no girls to chase will meet to drink and play cards and watch videos.
Anyway, on that day, everyone in the dormitory had their own home. Spending a week in factories and dormitories, people are like birds out of the cage, eager to fly to the blue sky. There are seven provinces in the dormitory, each with its own arrangement, and only I, still quietly staying in the dormitory.
On weekdays, after work, there is always a lot of noise in the dormitory. Only for this moment, the dormitory returned to true silence. I used the quilt as a pillow, half-leaned over, and indulged in a poetry magazine.
When I entered the factory for almost a month, my work went wrong. In fact, it is not a big accident, it is nothing more than the difference between "three" and "3" on the report, which has nothing to do with the grand purpose, does not affect the overall situation, and is a mistake that can be judged or not.
However, the female supervisor of our workshop, because of the injury of love, saw that no one was pleasing to the eye. I hit the muzzle of the gun right in the middle of the gun and provoked her. I stood in front of the public and was scolded by her for ten minutes. Those ten minutes were quite long for me, and I was eager to get off the horse to crack a crack, and I went in and never came out.
It was Sunday and there was no overtime in the evening. After work, I didn't go to the cafeteria for the first time. When he entered the dormitory, he pulled down the curtain and hid in the space that belonged to him, healing his wounds alone.
Colleagues took a shower one after another, took off from the same blue work clothes, changed into more personalized clothes, and went out one after another to look for the confused night in Dongguan.
Guessing that all the people in the dormitory were gone, I opened the curtains, after all, I was hungry and had to go out to find something to fill my stomach.
Who would have thought that on the bed furthest from the door, Guizhou was wearing a brightly colored shirt and was applying hairspray to his hair, which looked like going out on a date.
Guizhou dressed up, about pity me, afraid that I was too lonely to stay alone in the dormitory, or he felt that as a big brother, he had the responsibility and obligation to enlighten me, let me stay away from obscurity, and take me outside to open my eyes and meet people. So he pulled me up on the bed and asked me to walk with him.
He used the word "accompany". It is this companion word that brings me closer. I was full of gratitude to him, during the day by the female supervisor in public insults, he must have known, of course, he can not speak bluntly, this unique way of persuasion, deepened my good feelings for him.
So I got up and prepared to go out with him. Guizhou pointed to my clothes and said, you are really atmospheric, that's it? I was wearing a workshirt and didn't even think about changing it. The overalls of the electrical appliance factory are more or less counted as a certain identity, and when I encounter a joint defense team that checks the temporary residence permit, it can be used as proof that I work in the electrical appliance factory.
At guizhou's urging, I finally changed into a white shirt and went out with him. When we came to the factory, he ordered a motorcycle, and the car took us to Humen Town.
The motorcycle stopped at an intersection, Guizhou got out of the car, and I followed him. He looked at his watch and walked me through an alley. After seven turns, we came to a restaurant. Guizhou asked me what I wanted to eat, and I hesitated and said fried powder. Guizhou asked the shopkeeper to give me a fried powder and eggs, the shopkeeper asked him what he wanted, and he replied, or the old rules.
At that time, the workers ate supper, and there were not many varieties and patterns selected. The simplest and most efficient, yet most meaningful, is fried rice noodles. Dongguan rice noodles are a magical food, rice noodles can be fried or boiled, and for most migrant workers from outside Guangdong Province, fried flour will be the first choice.
I have to admit that the first time I ate Dongguan fried noodles, I was amazed by this southern food. Under the owner's high-fire cooking, Dongguan rice noodles gradually show a golden color, especially fried powder and eggs, but also the color is bright, soft and refreshing, fresh and fragrant, evocative and long.
Many years later, I still reminisce about Guizhou taking me to eat rice noodles at this restaurant. I don't understand why the same ingredients and spices can be fried with such a wonderful taste. After that, no matter how much money I spent, I never ate the surprise of a chance encounter in an alley restaurant.
Of course, the story of Dongguan rice noodles is not only about delicious food. More importantly, Dongguan rice noodles are like some kind of marriage lock, if a male worker successfully invites a female worker to eat a supper, often only need to eat a fried rice noodle, you can lock her heart.
The outside world is very helpless, and the outside world has a lot of wonderful. The love of the female worker is a wonderful part, once she submits to you, not only can she commit, but even the daily expenses can be prepared for you. It's just that the era of pure love is gone, and that innocent and lovely female worker can no longer be found.
The rice noodles I ate in Humen are also related to love, but it is the love entanglement between the female boss and Guizhou, and it has nothing to do with me.
After eating their own plates of Chinese food, when I wanted to go out, I saw the owner of the restaurant, a woman, short hair and thin eyebrows, thin but not weak, a capable strong woman. The female boss wanted to stay in Guizhou and sit for a while, and Guizhou pointed to the shop and said you should be busy, don't delay the business. After saying this, he forcibly stuffed the money for the meal to the landlady, leaving her to look at him in the shop in a daze.
Out of the alley, Guizhou took me around Humen Town, almost walking through the bustling and lively scenes. In some deep alleys, the introduction of Guizhou is somewhat meaningful. He told me without hesitation that there were two or three people in the "Nine Provincial Administrations" who used this place as a "station office" and paid their salaries every month, and they would come here to check in and pay their rations on time.
According to Guizhou, he had never been to these places, but he did not look down on anyone in the dormitory, and only felt that it was some kind of need. He even encouraged me that if I had an idea, I could speak to him and he could provide the convenience of escort.
At that time, my understanding of many things was still very biased, thinking that black is black, and white is naturally white, and it is difficult to understand the deep meaning of his words. Even, vaguely felt, he is like a character on the rivers and lakes, why is he willing to work in the factory? It wasn't until three months later, a hangover by the hotel lady, that the mystery was solved.
However, that night, everything was like a dream to me.
Guizhou walked around Humen, in addition to making me happy and forgetting the troubles in the workshop, his most important purpose was to go to Humen to meet a person, a woman, a female worker working part-time in the hotel.
The woman's name was Ah Qiu, and she looked twenty-three or four years old. Ah Qiu works in the electronics factory, the machine is working day and night, and the factory is divided into two shifts. At that time, most factories worked overtime until late at night, and two shifts were relatively easy. During the day shift, Ah Qiu left work at 7:30 every night. After work, Ah Qiu took the fastest shower, changed into another set of fashionable and beautiful clothes, ran to the hotel to work part-time, mainly accompanied by guests singing and drinking.
Ah Qiu needs money, only works in hotels, and makes the fastest and most money. Although she has the intention of making quick money, Ah Qiu has her own bottom line, and if the guest behavior exceeds the lower limit, she will resolutely protest. However, the guests who have fun in the hotel will show a different face after drinking, and may be able to do anything.
One night, Ah Qiu still went to the hotel after work from the electronics factory to work part-time, and the guest who met a difficult problem first used bitter meat to persuade Ah Qiu to drink a lot of wine. Later, under the pretext of guessing boxing games, he forcibly poured a lot of wine into Ah Qiu.
Women who work part-time in the hotel must have some skills, and Ah Qiu's alcohol consumption is quite large, even ordinary men are not as good as her. The guest thought she had drunk the wine, guessed that she was already drunk, and wanted to act secretly and do something. Ah Qiu naturally did not follow, and at the moment of danger, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Guizhou broke in, trying to pull Ah Qiu away.
The other party naturally did not comply, so the two sides fought. Guizhou was difficult to defeat with a single fist, and naturally lost the battle, was beaten by the crowd, and his body was full of scars, and his face was full of blood. Fortunately, in such a commotion, the other party lost interest, did not embarrass Ah Qiu anymore, and went away.
Ah Qiu fu Guizhou went to the hospital to treat the wound, and came out of the hospital, and the night was already very deep. Guizhou is like this to her, doesn't it want to reciprocate? So, give it to him. Ah Qiu thought so.
They had met three months earlier, when Guizhou and his friends were singing in the hotel, accompanied by Ah Qiu. Just by looking at Ah Qiu in the warm and unclear light of the hotel, Guizhou could no longer rest assured of her in her heart. Guizhou launched a love offensive against her, of course, Ah Qiu did not follow, she had no feelings for Guizhou, only wanted to earn a little more money, so as to get out of the working life as soon as possible.
In order to move Ah Qiu, Guizhou often spends in hotels, and by the way, it can also protect Ah Qiu. On that day, it happened to encounter this incident, which gave Guizhou Ying the opportunity to save the United States.
As a token of gratitude, Ah Qiu took Guizhou to her rental house alone. That night, Ah Qiu gave him all the warmth of the woman in return.
Ah Qiu thought that with such a night, she would not owe Guizhou. I didn't think that Guizhou was more and more affectionate with her.
Because the hotel fight started because of Ah Qiu, the next day, when Ah Qiu went to work again, the hotel no longer hired her as a part-time job. Ah Qiu put this responsibility on Guizhou, and from then on he was even more unreasonable.
Guizhou could not bear the blow of this lost love, wandered around, and somehow ran to the restaurant in the depths of the alley, ordered food, and ordered wine. Bottle after bottle, drunk until midnight, the shop was about to close, and there were seven or eight empty bottles lying on the ground. The boss was a woman, and when she came out to check out, no matter how she called, she couldn't wake up Guizhou. What to do?
The door was closed, she was a woman, and a drunken customer was living in the shop, what if something happened? But throw him outside the store, he didn't pay for the meal, it was a small thing to run, but he threw the drunk man outside in the middle of the night, and it was a big crime. Thinking about it, the hostess accompanied him and sat in the shop all night.
To be continued.
Today is completely out of state, the netizens told a good story, but I failed to write a more wonderful story, probably because the story is more complicated, and I am not capable enough. The front is basically just a background, and the writing effect is much worse than I expected. If you are interested in the follow-up story, please leave a message. Over 100 comments, I'll continue. Please forgive me for not writing it well. Happy all.
