Chapter 38 Fire at the city gate
At that time, Pengcheng was surrounded by factories, factories of various light industries.

A large factory covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres and employs tens of thousands of workers, while a small one has a workshop-like factory building of a hundred square meters with more than a dozen workers.

The shoe factory I entered was of a medium scale, with a total of about 800 workers. It was produced on an assembly line, and most of them were female workers.

The factory has its own dormitory and its own canteen. Although the dormitory is very crowded, there are twelve people living in one room, and the free three meals in the canteen are also very simple. According to the workers, the conditions are much worse than those in large factories. up.

But I am very satisfied.

I can eat enough, have a place to sleep, and I still have 35 yuan a day to do the work. I don’t need to look at people’s faces for the work I do, and I don’t have to worry about being robbed or driven away.

Even if you stand on the edge of the assembly line eighteen hours a day, you will be too tired to get up when you return to the dormitory.

I am very satisfied!

Work in the factory allows one day off in seven days, and the day off does not count as wages. If you want to ask for leave at other times, someone must agree to take over the shift.

I have no fellow countrymen, no relatives and friends, and I have never thought about going out to have fun. As long as someone wants to ask for leave, I will go to work.

In this way, not only did I earn four days more than others, but I also gained popularity because of helping others. The workers in the dormitory made good friends with me, and our foreman treated me well.

I worked in that factory for more than half a year, and I only had three days off.

On the first day, the factory paid the first month's wages. I took the one thousand and fifty yuan wages and ran outside. I took a car for more than an hour to the post office in the neighboring small town.

I fled from Xiangcheng. At that time, the door of the barber shop was smashed by brother Liu, and I didn’t know if there were any thieves going in behind. I can try my best to make up for it.

I remitted 1000 yuan to the owner of the barber shop.

There was a remitter's address on the money order, and the person at the post office asked me if I wanted to fill it in, and I shook my head.

I used that girl's name in the factory, and, subconsciously, I didn't want people to know where I was.

After the money was transferred, I saw the envelopes, letterheads and stamps for sale at the post office. After hesitating for a few minutes, I bought a set of envelopes, letterheads and that limited set of stamps.

I wrote a letter to Datou and Houzi. The letter was not long. I just told them that I left Xiangcheng and now found a new job.

I don't know the addresses of Datou and Houzi. I filled in the address on the envelope with Attorney Xu's, and wrote another letter to Attorney Xu, asking him to forward it to him. As a thank you gift, I gave him the set of stamps I just bought. go in.

I didn't leave my address, just wrote my name, and then dropped the letter into the mailbox.

Two months later, I got my salary and went to the small town again. I remitted another 1000 yuan to the barber shop, sent a letter to Lawyer Xu, and then bought some daily necessities.

In the summer, the work in the factory increased, and more people asked me to supervise the shift. For three consecutive months, I did not rest.

Until October.

That day was National Day, and the foreman said that according to the national regulations, there must be a holiday. Everyone in the factory should rest, and I can also rest.

The day before that day, the factory had just paid wages. I calculated, and after deducting the remittance to the owner of the barber shop, I saved 500 yuan, so I thought about going to the city to buy myself two new clothes.

In the past six months, I have grown a lot taller. Although the factory has the simplest work clothes, I still have to wear my own clothes more or less, and the clothes I brought over can no longer be worn.

Moreover, I also thought about writing to the big head and the monkey.

I walked around the small town for a long time that day, and I wrote a three-page letter to Datou and Houzi, telling them that my job was good, but it was not convenient to send letters.

It was almost dusk when I returned to the factory. As soon as I entered the factory gate, I saw the foreman circling inside.

After seeing me, the foreman hurried over, dragged me aside, and asked with a serious face, "Liu Mei, tell me the truth, are you really Liu Mei?"

My heart skipped a beat.

When I went to recruit people in the factory, I just took my ID card to register, and I didn’t even check my photo. After I entered the factory, no one asked me to check my ID card. I have always been in the factory as Liu Mei. work here.

During the three months in the foot bath shop, I grew very fast. When I entered the factory, I was already 1.5 meters tall, and now it has grown to 1.6 meters. Even though my face is still a little immature, no one in the factory doubted it. my age and status.

Now, the foreman asked this suddenly?
Is it because my time has grown too fast, so I was discovered?
Seeing my face, the foreman said with a more stern expression: "Honestly, is it or isn't it?!"

I lowered my head slightly and said in a low voice, "No."

It is not a good thing to replace someone else's identity. I can always lie to myself if no one asks me, but now that the foreman asks, no matter what the reason is or what the consequences will be, I can no longer lie to others.

"Then who are you? Why did you use Liu Mei's ID card?" the foreman asked as if he was relieved.

"My name is Gu Qing. I picked up Liu Mei's ID card..." After hesitating for a while, my voice became softer and weaker: "I'm not old enough, and I'm afraid you don't want me, so I used hers."

"Is that so? How old are you?" the foreman asked.

I took out my own ID card that I always carried with me from my close pocket, but still didn't dare to look up, I reached out and handed the ID card to her.

The foreman took the ID card and said in surprise, "You're only 15 years old?!"

I blushed and nodded.

"You child! How can you do such heavy work at such a young age! Why didn't you say so earlier?!" There was anger in the foreman's voice, but more pity.

I unconsciously raised my head to look at her, and blinked my eyes.

"Hey, but it's just right, you can't continue working in the factory." The foreman handed me back the ID card, took my hand and ran to the dormitory: "Go, go back and pack your things, and leave immediately."

"Foreman, I..." I murmured, my eyes turned red.

Is this trying to drive me away?
But if I leave here, where can I go?
"Oh, you." The foreman glanced back at me, walked quickly without slowing down, and said, "The ID card you picked up has a serious accident. I heard that he hooked up with the boss of the place where he works. Wanting to replace the original proprietress, she clashed with the proprietress and pushed her onto the road, causing the proprietress to be killed on the spot. She fled at that time, and the public security bureau was arresting her everywhere. Check the file at the office, if you find out the ID card you used, even if you can prove that you are not Liu Mei, but use someone else’s ID card, the factory will fine you, so you hurry up, at least you won’t be fined.”

Listening to what she said, my heart was pounding and pounding again, and a layer of sweat broke out on the core of my forehead.

My things have always been well packed, and when I go back to the dormitory, I just put the newly bought clothes into the backpack.

A few minutes later, the foreman took me out through the back door, pointed in the direction of Pengcheng and said, "I guess it will take a while to search here. It's hard for you to find a job around here. Go to Pengcheng."

"I don't have a pass." I said with my head down, holding my bag.

"What kind of pass do you want?" The foreman clicked his tongue, pointed to a small road and said, "If you see that there is no road, just walk along that road and you will be able to enter Pengcheng!"
