Chu Ye thought for a moment and walked towards the tricycle with his luggage. As soon as he got close, a group of people gathered around him, scrambling to pull the luggage to his car.
Chu Ye protected him tightly, and finally chose an old man who was standing in the corner and no one cared about him.
His temples were gray and his old eyes were cloudy. When he saw Chu Ye approaching, he hurriedly came up to him. After saying hello, he diligently put his luggage in the car.
Seeing that their work was in vain, this group of people were not discouraged and continued to circle around the next goal.
On the tricycle, the old man stopped talking after asking about the destination and concentrated on riding in front. Chu Ye sat in the back seat, taking in all the street scenes on both sides.
After passing the train station, there is a residential building. Different from the crowds of people carrying luggage and walking in a hurry just now, people here are more leisurely. There are neighbors gathering at the intersection to chat about home life, and there are also groups of young people chatting and laughing. The men and women working there showed no signs of fatigue on their faces, and they quickly entered the restaurant with greetings.
"This is not an old-fashioned residential area. You can see that the buildings are still very new. The people who live here have only moved here in the past two years." The old man's voice was calm, and he didn't care whether there was a response, as if he was talking to himself. Talk to yourself.
"However, this area has stabilized. Next is the factory area. There are more people living there, but they all live in the factory. The outside of the factory is also lively. There is no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it is still not as good as here. .”
The road from the train station was very gentle, and the old man rode it effortlessly. Chu Ye listened without responding. After a while, the tricycle passed through the residential area and walked onto a broad road.
"Although this road is clean and tidy during the day, you don't know what will pop up on both sides of the road at night. Many drunk men who go to town come back from here. Young people should not come here if they can't come out at night. "The last sentence was obviously a warning to her.
Chu Ye responded and accepted the kindness.
The two of them didn't talk anymore on the way back. After crossing the main road, there was the factory area. There were many square houses here, and many houses spawned shops. After the old man parked the car in front of the Hongfu Hotel, he actively got out of the car to help Chu Ye. It's time to move your luggage. , Chu Ye handed over the negotiated fare, and the old man put the money in his pocket, and said one more thing before leaving, "Little girl, whether you come here to find a job or to visit relatives, you have to watch your own business, don't be stupid and gullible. Others.”
After saying that, he left, leaving Chu Ye looking at the tricycle and nodding lightly.
Chu Ye booked a single room. The environment in the room was much better than the one she lived in before, but the corresponding price also tripled.
The luggage was all placed on the ground. Chu Ye rubbed her eyes. She had not had much rest in the car for the past two days. Now that she touched the soft bed, she quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up, the lights were brightly lit outside, and she could hear the bustle through the window.
Chu Ye touched his belly, got up and went downstairs. Sure enough, the night here is more gorgeous than the day.
People who work in the factory only really have their own time in the evening after get off work. There are restaurants large and small on both sides of the street. At this time, the lights are on, and the bright yellow light hits people's faces. They gather together Together, the bowls and chopsticks clinked, and the joy and labor of the day were shared through words.
Chu Ye found a shop with a small number of people. As soon as she stepped in, the eyes of the people inside were fixed on her.
People from all over the world come here every day, but there are still a few who are as beautiful as Chu Ye, especially her fair skin and big black eyes, which look particularly harmless. There is something about her that the factory girls here don’t have. The smell of books.
The original chatter and laughter in the room paused for a moment, and the next moment, everyone looked away and continued chatting as if nothing had happened, but their eyes involuntarily glanced at Chu Ye's position.
Chu Ye pretended not to know, glanced at the menu on the wall and ordered a bowl of rice noodles.
Soon, the rice noodles were served on the table. The wide-mouthed porcelain bowl contained snow-white rice noodles, mixed with some bean sprouts and vegetables, and three thin slices of beef on top.
The alluring fragrance rushed into the nose, making the glutton in his stomach scream. Chu Ye hurriedly picked up a chopstick, blew it to cool down and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, the spicy and spicy taste rushed through his mouth. Take it into your stomach and soothe your tired mind after running around for the past two or three days.
After a while, the bottom of the bowl was empty. Chu Ye felt that it was not enough, so he ordered another basket of steamed dumplings to pack and eat while walking.
When she walked out of the restaurant, everyone who had lowered their voices because of her meal became active again.
"Where does this little girl come from? I have never seen her before."
"Who knows, there are quite a few people coming from out of town to join their relatives all day long. This might be it!"
"But he looks really cool, and I don't know which factory he will work in?"
"Where to go? Anyway, we won't go to our plastic factory. Haha, don't think about it, maybe we are just passing by and will leave tomorrow!"
Tomorrow, tomorrow I won’t be able to leave.
Chu Ye slept until dawn, sitting on the bed and eating the leftover steamed dumplings from last night.
Now that I have completely left my hometown, I have no relatives or friends here. Although I am lonely, when I think about it, is this not a rebirth in another sense?
Originally she still had to deal with her parents, but now it's all gone. Now no one knows her whereabouts, and she transferred her household registration the year she was admitted to the Normal College. She now has a household registration book, an ID card, and a small pocket sewn on her clothes, which contains a whole Six hundred dollars. Now that we have gone south, we need to put aside everything in the past, regain our confidence, and start all over again.
So in the past two days, every time it was time to eat, she would sit in the restaurant for a while, listening carefully to the workers talking about various things. Sometimes there was no one in the store, and she would talk to the store owner.
Although most of the restaurants here are locals, there are also some outsiders who have sensed business opportunities. They took all their belongings and opened a restaurant here. Therefore, they felt as enthusiastic as finding a confidant in Chu Ye, who also came from afar. Explain all aspects of the town clearly.
So Chu Ye also had a basic understanding of the various factories here. The factories here were basically OEM factories. In addition to locals who took advantage of the reform and opening up, the bosses were Hong Kong or foreigners who came to Shenzhen to do business. The types of work performed in each factory are different, and the wages that come with them are also different.
After understanding it almost, on the third day, Chu Ye walked to the entrance of Wucai Flower Factory with her luggage. When she arrived, there were already a dozen girls with luggage gathered here. The security personnel at the door shouted to everyone to wait patiently. The supervisor immediately Just come here.
Chu Ye blended into the crowd perfectly, and while waiting, several more girls came over. After a while, the iron door in front of him opened, and a woman in gray overalls walked out, smiling and ushering everyone into the room on the left side of the yard. There was a girl in the room. A wooden table.
"Everyone put your things aside first, come here, line up, take out your ID card, and let's register." The woman called herself Sister Zhao, and she was sitting behind the wooden table with a smile on her face. There was a book on the table. Register.
Everyone in the room quickly found an open space and piled their luggage together. When they turned around, a girl with quick hands and feet took out her ID card and registered it in the book.
The others followed suit and lined up in a straight line like ants, with Chu Ye standing in the middle of the line.
There are less than thirty people in their team. After each one registers, Sister Zhao will check her identity and identity card, and then ask if she has any relatives here.
Seven or eight girls had passed by in front of them. When asked, they all said that so and so from their own or neighbor's homes were working here, and they shouted to let them come over.
When it was Chu Ye's turn, Sister Zhao was startled when she saw her face, and subconsciously took the ID card she handed her. Then Chu Ye quickly filled in his name, ID number and household registration location.
After filling it out, she looked up at Sister Zhao, who also handed her ID card back at this time, "Your family is from Tongyang? Why did you travel so far?"
Although there are people from all over the country in the factory, there are generally a lot of people from the south, and people who come from as far away as Chu Ye are rare.
Chu Ye took the ID card and nodded "Yes", which was regarded as answering her first question.
Sister Zhao then asked, "Are there any relatives here?"
"No, a friend who works in the factory told me that the conditions here are good and introduced me here." Chu Ye didn't blink, and he wasn't lying. Pan'er did tell her that this place was good.
"Okay, go and wait aside." Sister Zhao waved her hand and asked her to go aside. Chu Ye stood with the other registered girls.
After everyone was registered, Sister Zhao stood up with satisfaction and asked everyone to carry their luggage to see the dormitory.
"This is our dormitory. There are sixteen people in one room. Washing and using the toilet are at the end of the corridor. You can find a bed and put your things in first."
Sister Zhao opened the doors of the two dormitories. Inside was a narrow corridor-like room with bunk beds made of iron rods placed against the wall, with eight beds in two rows.
One room was empty and unoccupied. In the other room, four beds could be seen, all covered with mattresses. It must have been occupied by someone.
After Sister Zhao finished speaking, the girls swarmed with their luggage to grab their favorite beds. Chu Ye had a lot of luggage, which was not conducive to competition. Besides, in this environment, it didn't matter where she lived. In the end, she picked up a top bunk Close to the door.
"Okay, you can pack your things after you have made your choice. There are wall clocks in each of our dormitories." Sister Zhao glanced at it. It was eleven o'clock. She continued, "It will be in the dormitory at eleven forty." Meet at the door. I’ll take you to the cafeteria for dinner. Remember, I won’t take care of anyone who doesn’t show up. You can leave directly in the afternoon. Do you understand? ”
"I understand." Someone replied first, and the other girls quickly nodded in reply.
Sister Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and before leaving, she glanced at Chu Ye with her peripheral vision, paused for a moment, and then left as if nothing had happened.
Immediately afterwards, the girls began to get busy. Some of them had little luggage and started making friends after packing it up in a few seconds. Chu Ye didn't know any of them. Besides, she had a lot of things and only focused on her own things.
After working for a long time, seeing that the time Sister Zhao said was coming soon, some girls had already gone out to gather in advance. Chu Ye packed everything and finally took out two books from the bottom of the bag. They were "Yangmen" given to him by Mu Jiajun before. "Girl General" and "Asuka". She stared at the cover for a while, then stuffed the book under her pillow.
