[065] Dragon's Flesh
Fang Chang'an returned to the assembly line, and several girls were busy because there was a little overmanagement here. After discussing with Fang Chang'an a few days ago, Zhao Ruiyang transferred two aunts and put them in the middle. Only then did Shen Mo and the others finally feel a little pressure to work.
However, compared with others, their work tasks are still relatively light. They stuffed paper balls into their shoes and chatted with their aunts.
Aunt Zhang from Henan no longer holds her shoe boxes and keeps accounts. She follows her acceptance and is chatting with girls who are experiencing life during the holidays.
"Isn't it all like this here? Times have changed now, and young people are like this... But girls should still love themselves..."
What they originally said was the drunk girl last night. The aunt talked about a girl who worked in the factory, but Fang Chang'an only heard the end and seemed to be no longer working here.
As soon as Fang Chang'an arrived, Shen Mo and the others were embarrassed to take on similar topics. Aunt Zhang stopped talking. Wang Ke then changed the topic bluntly and asked: "Auntie, what's the relationship between you and Sha Ni?"
"It doesn't matter."
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and the other aunt laughed and replied, "It's not at all."
"Then why did she call you godmother?"
"I made a joke before..."
Aunt Zhang explained, "I used to be there, and I sat very close to Sha Ni, and when I was talking...what happened... Anyway, anyone was just kidding, she took it seriously..."
Aunt Zhang obviously didn't care, she even forgot the reason, and then laughed: "Who knew she would take it seriously..."
She glanced forward and lowered her voice and said, "She was not very mentally... the young people in front of her didn't care about her, so she often talked to us..."
Most of the aunts who work in the factory are not well-off, and some are older. In order to earn some living expenses, or have old age, the pressure of life has worn away many things that are not needed to adapt to life. When saying these words, Aunt Zhang, who has always made Shen Mo and Wang Ke and the others feel kind and gentle, actually has no sympathy in her words and expressions. Instead, it is a bit faint. Normal people do not have malice to disabled people, but common... Well, it can be said to be disgusted or not caring.
This is somewhat inconsistent with the impressions of Shen Mo and Wang Ke and others, especially when it comes to Sha Ni often shouts "godmother" and "godmother" one by one. Several girls who have not left school don't know what to say for a while, and it feels a little uncomfortable. This feeling is a bit like something I always think of. Finally, I saw the other side and found that the beauty was completely imagined by myself.
Among the girls, Song Tang and Sha Ni get along more, mainly because Sha Ni likes to talk to her on her own initiative, and this feeling is deeper.
She then inexplicably thought of the drunk girl last night, she was sitting on the ground in a short skirt and screaming and making trouble, and she thought of her eyes when she said to Fang Chang'an, "Are you going to go to me? OK--" and the eyes reflected the lights emitted from the street shops that were not bright at the time. After a night, she felt inexplicably that her heart felt like it was pricked, not hurt, but there was a thorn in her heart that would not dissipate for a long time.
She has not been out of the campus at all. She worked for nearly two months last summer vacation and met Big Bear, Little Bear, Pang Yan and others. She still remembers them, remember their daily work, life, and some of the content they revealed when they talk. Big Bear wants to support their family, support their wives and children, Little Bear is a little idle, Pang Yan doesn't want to go home, and wants to buy a house in the city... Pang Yan takes them to buy suits...
But when we get here, people who are also working outside seem to be in a completely different state.
Cheng Juan also lowered her voice and asked, "I heard from her that her parents are cousins..."
The aunts seemed to know it and nodded, "Ang, it seems like this is the customs there... Alas..."
In the last sigh, there was a certain understanding of the backwardness of the "customs" there, but when I said this, I was more of a kind of "it's just like that" indifferent.
"I heard from her that there are still people robbing their brides... I thought it would be gone long ago..."
Auntie's words resonated with each other, and Liu Bei nodded vigorously and said, "Me too, I feel that they are all from books, only in ancient times..."
"Hey, how many years have the founding of the country?"
"In places like theirs, there are many people who change their relatives. It is that your daughter marrys my son, and my daughter marrys your son, and it doesn't cost money..."
"You're like them..."
Several aunts were talking indifferently. They probably saw that several girls were too ignorant, or they felt that it was not suitable to talk about these things to them. Aunt Zhang changed the topic and pointed to a thin black aunt next to her, saying, "They are now walking on the mountain roads with their backs, planting crops, harvesting crops, and injecting pesticides..."
Fang Changan asked: "Don't there be any flatbed car?"
Aunt Hei Shou didn't talk much, and raised her head and said, "I can't get past the mountain road, I can only rely on people..."
The fat aunt said again: "Anyway, everything is carried by humans, and they have to carry the child when working..."
"ah?"
"How to carry the child?"
A few girls were so surprised.
"Just put it in the basket."
Aunt Hei Shou was very unclear in Mandarin, so she gestured with her hands while speaking. Aunt Zhang and the others also explained that the girls looked at each other, and obviously even the barren life experience could not imagine that kind of scene.
Aunt Zhang said, "So she is amazing, it's really amazing. We used to move things before, and I couldn't handle the bag of things. She picked it up and carried it on her back... Don't look at her not tall..."
The fat aunt next to her smiled and said, "You are so tall as Bai Chang."
Aunt Zhang is the tallest among the few people, nearly 1.65 meters tall, and the other three are relatively short, while the black and thin aunt is only over 1.5 meters tall, but it really makes people feel that their hands and feet are very quick.
Of course, quick hands and feet are not equivalent to working efficiency, because there is not only one person in the same job as the assembly line, so there is a problem of how much one person does: the black and thin aunt works quickly, but every time she finishes herself, she has to wait a moment. Only when the fat aunt also gets a pair of shoes will she take another pair to ensure fairness between the two.
For the same salary, of course, it is fair to make the same shoes.
Once, there were many shoes, and the fat aunt was too busy to get busy, so she took one pair by herself, then took out one and put it on the fat aunt's hand, saying, "This pair is yours."
This led to Shen Mo and the others not having a good impression of this aunt, thinking that they were too careless and didn't chat with her much before.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Juan looked at the time and said, "There is still half an hour..."
"I'm finally getting off work again."
Mao Shanshan also lamented, and he really understood what it means to live like a year.
Several aunts were laughing next to them. They were all used to such boring and repetitive life. It was already much more interesting to have these young children joining them during this period.
Shen Mo put a pair of shoes into the shoe box, then stood up while he was away, jumped around his stool slightly, moving his sitting body.
She still had a bun on her head, and the ends of her hair jumped in the air. Wang Ke sat beside her, turned to look at her, glanced at her chest, looking a little envious, and then sat by herself, stretching her arms and legs slightly, and not getting up.
Shen Mo jumped around for a few times, sat down again and continued to be busy. The aunt asked again: "Where are you going to eat when you can wait?"
Shen Mo pouted and said, "I don't know... it's all the same, there are only those companies."
Although the shoe factory is not far from the central street, its location is a bit off. There are not many snack shops nearby, and the things sold are very homogenized. I have eaten them several times these days, but I haven’t found a few delicious foods.
For Shen Mo, who has been spoiled since childhood, it is very uncomfortable to eat lunch every day. She would rather eat oil cakes, but there is no breakfast at noon. She is hesitating whether to buy one more cake tomorrow morning and save it until noon to eat it.
"Do you go to the store to eat every day?"
Perhaps because I just said something, Aunt Hei Shou took the initiative to talk to these young people.
"Um."
Song Tang nodded gently, and then saw the aunt looking at them. The expression on her face seemed a little confused. She probably didn't understand why anyone would have to go to the store to have dinner every day... so expensive!
"Auntie, do you all cook by yourself?" Wang Ke asked Aunt Zhang again.
"Yes, I wake up every morning to cook, eat half of it, and bring the other half here."
"What time do you get up in the morning?"
"Six o'clock, sometimes it will be a little later, make it faster and come over after eating."
Aunt Zhang was younger after all, and after reading books, she knew what these young people thought, and said with a smile: "I'm a little better and I'm willing to spend some money. Look at them... Every time they go to the vegetable market, they buy a handful of vegetables, spend a dollar, and eat for a few days... Our family spends money and can't save money..."
She sighed as she spoke, looking a little distressed.
The fat aunt said, "You can all make money."
"Where can I make money?... My two sons are studying and need living expenses every month... My husband also needs to drink and play cards..."
Aunt Zhang said and sighed again.
The fat aunt said, "Your family is fine, over there..."
She pointed to the front, "The one who brushes the glue...the couple plays cards every night. It seems that they just got their salary last time, and they lost all in one night..."
"Why are you still fighting?"
"Who knows..."
As I was talking, I finally finished the last half hour. The assembly line stopped. The aunts stretched, some went to the toilet, and some took out lunch boxes to eat.
When Shen Mo left, he noticed that Aunt Zhang had a steamed bun in her lunch box, and some of the fried celery that were obviously leftover, such as some minced meat residue, and some of the newly fried mung bean sprouts.
When she had dinner together in the evening, she talked about this matter in a complicated tone, but in fact, what she felt most deeply was not food, but the aunts were repeating such work every day.
They had only worked for less than half a month and felt a little disappointed. These aunts and other people working here spent this year after year.
"I wanted to take leave yesterday morning..."
Several girls were talking in a low voice, and then Cheng Juan said a little embarrassedly, "I feel like I'm about to collapse..."
Mao Shanshan said: "So too..."
Liu Bei whispered: "I almost cried when I was at work a few days ago... I wanted to go home..."
Song Tang said: "I feel a little too unstoppable... I don't know how they all persevered..."
Several girls talked to each other, or it could be considered as accusation, and Shen Mo and Wang Ke had already gone to Chang'an to stare at each other.
Fang Chang'an finished a bowl of rice, served another bowl, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with enoki mushrooms, and said while eating: "This is a good thing. If you don't want to live such a life in the future, just study harder and study harder, for yourself and for them."
"Um?"
Several girls blinked at the same time, showing doubts. Even Song Mei, who was thinking about how to make the online store better, looked over.
"It's enough to study hard for yourself, but it's also considered for them."
Fang Changan actually had some feelings, because this is how my mother came here in his previous life. He grabbed a piece of potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth, "Do you know why I want to bring you to work?"
Shen Mo blinked and asked, "Don't you make money?"
Wang Ke thought for a while and asked: "Experience life?"
“Yes, but not only.”
Fang Chang'an leaned on the chair and leaned back tactically, "I actually want to take a look around while I have time."
"What do you see?"
"Do you remember, I told you before that China is a giant dragon that takes off?"
Fang Chang'an exhaled gently, "I want to see what the flesh and blood that is constantly exerting force looks like when this giant dragon soars... I hope that after it soars, the blood will continue to surge, and don't forget every piece of flesh and blood that has been exerted."
