Chapter 209

"It's okay, I'm not tired of anything. I just go to work, so far back and forth, let's go? How can I have a car at night?"

"Let's go, I'm not alone, and it's not too far away, isn't it going back and forth to get popsicles? Flying?"

"Then why don't you fly one for me?" Zhang Qingzhi turned to look at Liu Guixin.

"Do you have to be right with me, Zhang? You look at me like that again?"

"What if I take another look? What if you want to cut me?"

"Old turtle, just wait."

Zhang Xingbing laughed out loud.

So it was decided that I would go to work in the cannery.

In fact, it was just a coincidence. I was worried about the cost of adding two people, so this subsidy came to my door.

……

Picking hawthorn is a technical job.

There is a special poke, a steel pipe made of white steel, about ten centimeters long, with a hollow core in the middle, one end is large and the other end is small.

Use the big head to make an opening on the heart of the hawthorn navel, and then use the small head to poke it out from the stem, and the core will be clean.

Everyone in the family has an extra job, so it's okay to pick hawthorns.

This is fairly easy, but it is quite tiring to brush the bottle.

When I went to the factory, there was a room dedicated to brushing bottles.There is a large iron trough in the center, which is filled with hot water. The cans and bottles from the waste collection station are immersed in the water. You have to stand on the edge of the trough and clean the bottles one by one with a plastic brush before placing them in the basket next to them. inside.

Although the room was not cold, it was full of water vapor. After staying for a while, the clothes on my body were all wet, and the smell was not very good.

Several people in a class have to stand around the sink for several hours.

Wearing water pants and boots, and rubber gloves, he stood in the muddy water all over the floor, half-bowed and kept brushing, brushing, brushing.

During the day, the cannery (popsicle factory) has its own workers. Liu Guixin and the others work the night shift, and the time of day is also uncertain. Anyway, they have to complete the tasks of the day and go home when they are finished.

Several female workers from the Guo family came to gather at Liu Guixin's house every day, and then walked to the factory together, and walked back together after finishing their work.

It was a rather hard job, but they made them feel joyful. They chatted happily and happily all day long, running back and forth like walking and traveling.

What people have never lacked is not a happy heart, but an attitude of taking pleasure in suffering.What life imposes on us is already heavy. We can't decide what to bear, but we can decide how to bear it.

……

"The workers in your factory are really perverted. They were scared to death today."

It was almost midnight, and Liu Guixin returned home with heavy steps, put down his water boots and pants, and went into the house to change into dry clothes.In the workshop of the cannery, all the clothes were wet.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qingzhi was busy cooking hot meals for Liu Guixin.

"It's on the top of the wall at the third factory. There are people squatting there every day, and we didn't care. Before we came here today, someone took off his pants and yelled at us. I didn't hear anything clearly. I was just scared."

"It's over?" Zhang Qingzhi turned to look at Liu Guixin.

"We'll run away when it's over, but he just stood there and didn't dare to come down and chase after him."

"Do you see the face clearly?"

"No, it's tens of meters away, just under the streetlight. Who can care about what he looks like at that moment?"

"Damn it, the little girl is still running away. What are these people afraid of? Pick up bricks and hit him." Zhang Qingzhi put the vegetables into a bowl: "Tomorrow I will go to the third factory to ask."

"How do you ask this matter? Who can admit it? You can do it. Let's be careful when we go there in the future, and he doesn't dare to do anything."

"Then I'll pick you up from now on, anyway, the third factory is not too far away."

"No, is it really a matter? I'm not alone."

"Be careful. I'll get you a flashlight tomorrow. The five-section one is bright, and it can be used as a stick in a hurry."

"It's okay, the aisle can still be illuminated. Tang Ya said that Ling passed through the factory and approached, but we didn't dare. It was dusty and dusty, and there was no proper way. Besides, we didn't walk through it. Blinded."

"Then what's the matter? Isn't it just outside the third factory along the dirt road on the slope? Have you never seen a movie?"

"Where is it? Is the fifth factory built over there? Let's forget it, let's take the road, it's smoother, I don't know if it's close or not, but it's enough trouble."

"That's right." Zhang Qingzhi nodded and handed the chopsticks to Liu Guixin.Now there is a big construction site outside the third factory, running heavy machinery every day, not to mention the messy digging, and there is no decent road.

"The troops said they were about to withdraw." Zhang Qingzhi, who had eaten a few mouthfuls and sat by the side, said.

"Who told you that? Is the work done?"

"The work continued, the troops were withdrawn, disbanded. The personnel were disbanded on the spot, some were discharged from the army, and some returned to the local mines."

"When?"

"Immediately. Lao Xing called me today, saying that the yard over there will be cleared soon, and asked me if I needed anything else."

"Where are they going, Commander Xing?"

"He went to mine construction. His whole family is here, his wife and children are by his side. It's the same everywhere. When he goes to mine construction, he can give a cadre. Zhang Aimin transferred back to Guangdong."

"It's pretty good, and it's settled down, so there's no way to run away. The child is only a little old."

"Is there anything missing at home? Go and have a look?"

"Isn't there anything missing? There are just some bed cabinets over there, what else?"

"Who knows, I haven't been there yet. Doesn't the second child always go there? You can ask him tomorrow."

……

The troops withdrew as soon as they said they would, and within a few days after the news came out, the order to disband on the spot came down.

The cadres above the battalion rank packed up and went to the military region, and they had other appointments, so they were directly packaged and handed over to the mining construction company.

Zhang Aimin and some of them retired from the army and changed jobs, and returned to their hometowns.Zhang Aimin returned to Guangzhou, and kept correspondence with Zhang Qingzhi for a period of time.

The people left by Lao Xing and the others were also moved out of the compound, and they were all arranged in the barracks south of Changhe River.This side was originally built by the army itself, so it happened to be used.Rows of neat red brick houses.

The courtyard of the army has been vacated, and it is said that it will be converted into a dormitory for the mining construction company.

Zhang Xingjun, Zhang Xinglong and a group of children from the original area went upstairs and downstairs in the army compound and tossed about for a few days.It's okay, just playing.In the past, they were not allowed to enter here, and it has always been quite mysterious.

Of course Zhang Xinglong is not among them, no one here is more familiar than him, he even knows how many nests of rats there are in the cafeteria.

He took his brother to the house where the head of the group used to live on the top floor. There was a material warehouse at the back, and there was a small door on the side to get in.

It was full of neatly stacked hand-cranked telephones. I don't know why they were not transported away, so they were all thrown away.

……

Soon, Mining Construction came over to take over, and it turned out to be a dormitory.Soon the upstairs was full of people again, and the cafeteria was once again filled with the smell of vegetables.

But everything is different.

A happy memory is preserved here.
