Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 412
After returning home, Mu Zhen urged Hu Guoqing impatiently: "Now that you're home, should you tell me what you did to your sister?"

"What are you talking about! There's nothing to say, I'll just show it to you, or it's over!" After finishing speaking, Hu Guoqing took out a square-folded letter paper from his pocket and handed it to Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen took it, carefully pulled the corner of the letter paper and slowly opened it, as if afraid that it might be broken, Hu Guoqing smiled and said, "Are you demolishing a landmine?"

"I'm afraid I'll break the secret!"

"If there is really a secret, I've already told you about our relationship. Do I need to wait for you to read it?" Hu Guoqing's answer made Mu Zhen a little puzzled. It's an ordinary letter, so why should I read it?
Mu Zhen leaned under the desk lamp, and although the handwriting on the letter paper was not very beautiful, it was very correct.

brother:

Please forgive my sister for not writing to you until now. I got off the train and transferred to a car, and drove for more than an hour before I arrived at the current garment factory. After arriving, I lived in the collective dormitory of the garment factory. The schedule is very tight. In addition to being an apprentice during the day, I just eat, and I often work overtime at night, let alone shopping, and I don’t even have time to go out.

I went to the street yesterday and had the opportunity to weigh myself. I lost almost five catties. Fortunately, the food here is okay, otherwise my sister would be skinny and skinny.In the first month when I came here, apart from working in the workshop every day, I just slept, and I became a machine with a brain.From last week, I can take one day off every week. On this day, I can wash clothes and clean my personal hygiene, which is considered more leisurely.

People from our village are all in this factory. When they are a little leisurely, they can still talk and laugh, and they can take care of each other, so they don’t seem lonely. How exciting the outside world is to low (bottom).

Here, a person is generally afraid to go out, not to speak to those who are not familiar with the place, and the language barrier has become an obstacle. When the locals speak their dialects, we are like listening to a scripture, and we can't understand a word.It is also because of this that after going out here, it is easy to be targeted by bad guys. Once they are targeted, they will lose money at least, and it is difficult to say at worst.I heard from a worker that last year a woman went out alone and was killed by some villain. The case has not been solved yet!
You see, I’m just talking about some nosy things here, and I’m telling my brother a good news. I’ve been paid. It’s exactly as the person who brought me here in the village said. The income is indeed many times better than farming. Seeing the wages, we People who came with me said that even if it is a bit tiring, it is worth it!

I originally wanted to buy something for my brother, but I don't know how to send it to you, so when I go back, I must buy something for you and take it back.

Look, I just want to talk about my affairs here, how are you doing at school?Is it that studying is as stressful as we are, but no matter how nervous you are, you must pay attention to rest, and you can work well after a good rest. This is what our foreman says every day, so at night, someone insists on (supervising) us to sleep. If you don't sleep during the rest time, you will be charged!
Well, I have written so much, my sister is not very good at writing, I just write wherever I think of, just don't laugh at me!

Mu Zhen read the letter in one breath. Except for a few typos, the sentence is still fluent, especially the last few words "your little sister: Yu Fen". Mu Zhen thinks this Yu Fen is still a bit interesting. , Adding the word "small" in front of sister is very emotional.Mu Zhen stared blankly at the letter paper.

Although this letter is not too long, it reveals the hardships of the laborers between the lines. Although it is not exploitative, it also makes people feel uncomfortable, especially the sentence "It is simply a Taiwan with a brain." machine”, I really can’t imagine the suffering and tiredness of migrant workers.

"Have you finished watching?" Hu Guoqing, who came in from outside the house with water for washing feet, interrupted Mu Zhen's meditation.

"I've read it, it's just that the writing of this letter is a bit painful!"

"We both have the same feeling. We can indeed earn money by working there, but the money seems to be combined with hard work." Hu Guoqing said affirmatively.

"The last message, your little sister, did you think of it, this 'little' means that she is not a few years older than you, which is interesting!" Mu Zhen jokingly changed the subject suddenly.

"Don't be funny, she's not very old, so she's called that, it's nothing! I let you see, it's not to make me happy! Take a look, how should we reply to her?" Hu Guoqing showed Very serious.

When Mu Zhen heard what Hu Guoqing said, it was naturally inconvenient to joke anymore, so she re-studied those two pages of letter paper...
