Since 1983

Xu Fei had nothing but a deposit of over 100 yuan.

He seriously considered various possibilities, and even wanted to go to the countryside to get some peanuts and melon seeds, rough process them when he came back, and sell them at the train station. Later, when I thought about the low cost performance, I gave up.

But at this moment, he was sitting on the bus going to Wugouying, looking at the wilderness outside the city. Hey, that's right, it's the place where Old Gu looked for Long...

He didn't resign, let alone tell his family.

Just because his parents support him in Dream of the Red Chamber because it's a serious business doesn't mean they're enlightened enough to ask their son to quit his job to engage in a speculative business.

So he found a subtle excuse to ask for leave to find the feeling of Dream of Red Mansions.

Something that sounds ridiculous at first, is actually accepted by both the work unit and the family—well, the fact is that it’s just a mess anyway, and there’s no shortage of it.

Boom!

Bang bang bang bang!

The bus moved slowly with noises of various frequencies, and stopped in a remote area from time to time, going up or down, in twos and threes, a distance of 100 kilometers, and it took half a day.

At noon, he finally arrived at Wugouying Station.

I found a random restaurant, ate six meatloaf for fifteen cents, and added a bowl of egg soup, before rushing to the destination of this trip—the textile factory.

As a heavy industry base in the Northeast, light textiles are not well developed. For example, Ancheng has no textile factories, which were only established in 1985. At present, there is one in Fengtian, one in Xiangping, and one in Luda, but the most famous one is Wugouying Textile Factory.

Before liberation, Meigouying was the largest cotton cloth market in Northeast China, and its products sold well inside and outside the customs and in Siberia. In 1932, businessman Li Zichu established a large textile factory, which was taken over by the government after liberation.

Workers in state-owned enterprises are the most popular these days, their wages are above the standard, and all kinds of treatment are skyrocketing.

The first is an iron rice bowl, no need to worry about unemployment, a full set of labor insurance, and the company will bear all the expenses of illness. And relatives can also write their own names when they get sick, which is equivalent to free medical treatment for the whole family.

When you get married, the unit will give you a house or rent it to you at a very low price. It doesn't matter if you can't find a wife. Companies with a lot of bachelors will even recruit a group of female workers to encourage intermarriage, so there are especially many double-employees.

Later, when they were laid off, this group of people was also the worst.

The most amazing thing is that there is also a succession system, the son can replace the father to work. Basically, as long as you enter a state-owned enterprise, you will have no worries about life, old age, sickness, death, and even future generations.

In addition, the most popular job is commercial food supply (commercial bureau system, grain store, supply and marketing cooperative). Of course, the textile factory is also good, and it is decent to go out on a blind date.

Xu Fei found the place easily. From a distance, he saw a large factory building lying there, and there were clubs, hospitals, schools and other supporting units around it, just like a small kingdom.

He is like a self-made, lonely quack, without a clue. But there is no rush, the factory can't get in, so I went to the club for a walk.

There are two floors, the first floor has a billiard case and a movie theater, and the second floor is a reading room. On the wall are the heads of the great leaders of the proletariat and blood-red slogans.

During working hours in the afternoon, there was no one in the club, only a man with small eyes was playing alone.

Xu Fei looked at it for a while, then suddenly leaned forward, Brother, take a shot?

Come on!

The men's clothes are sloppy and not polite. So the two played the clubs each, and started to fight each other. It's a very simple black eight game.

Xu Fei had also been passionate and youthful in his previous life, and his skills were exceptionally superb. He didn't expect that the opponent was not bad, so he fought hard. He wins because of his advanced consciousness, he knows how to defend in addition to attacking, and finally with a defensive ball, he broke the opponent's advantage, scored three goals in a row, and fought back with residual blood.

Awesome!

The man's eyes lit up, Come again!

Xu Fei naturally accompanied him and played three consecutive rounds, winning two and losing one. The guy threw the cue, waved his hand and said, Don't play anymore, give up!

He smiled, didn't say anything, walked to the steps at the entrance of the club, and squatted there.

The man glanced at him, but didn't care, and wiped his body on the second floor.

…………

It was working hours, and the factory area was empty, with the faint sound of spinning spindles, as if thousands of hummingbirds were singing together not far away.

For such a large state-owned enterprise, he couldn't believe that all of them had a red heart towards the sun, without any flaws. In the south where textiles are most developed, it is not a new thing to dump fabrics. It is almost impossible in the north, but someone must do it.

Pressing a little anxiously, he smoked one cigarette after another, preparing to wait until night to see.

Two hours passed in a flash, the sound of the machinery running gradually stopped, and the bell rang in the factory, followed by hundreds of workers coming out of each factory, wearing uniforms and taking off their masks, and Wu Yangyang flocked to the factory. door.

get off work.

Their complexion and mental outlook are better than most of this era, talking and laughing, picking up their children, shopping for vegetables, and even going to a nearby restaurant to make two cups.

At the same time, footsteps were heard upstairs.

The small-eyed man led a young girl downstairs, and seeing Xu Fei still hovering at the door, he whispered a few words to Yi, and came over on his own initiative.

My buddy hasn't left yet!

Well, how about reading upstairs? He said casually.

What books can I read, go up and play.

The man went to the side and squatted down, and asked, Are you an outsider? I haven't seen you before.

From Jincheng.

Come here to find someone?

No, do something.

Do something...

The man looked at him and smiled inexplicably. When Xu Fei met the other person's eyes, his heart moved, and he hurriedly took out a big production and handed it over, What's your name?

My surname is Liu.

Brother Liu!

He got angry again, and said in a believable way: It looks like he has skills, and not many people are good at playing billiards these days.

Ha, you are boasting about yourself!

The man took a puff of his cigarette, and subconsciously showed a bit of complacency, Actually, I don't have any great skills, but I know her face very well.

Familiarity is a great skill!

Xu Fei showed a hint of surprise half-truthfully, and said, I'm new here, and I just want to inquire about it...

Okay, I'll know what you're doing as soon as you come. I've seen you like this a lot.

The man interrupted him, paused, first stretched out a fist, then spread his five fingers, and shook his palm.

Do you want this, or this?

What the hell?

Xu Fei looked at him with a dazed expression, this was a code word, how could he know it!

Don't understand? First time doing it?

Brother Liu looked at it, and the smile on his face became wider, Okay, then I won't play charades anymore, just say what you want?

I want to get some cloth.

Cloth? ? ?

When the second word fell to the ground, the other party's smile disappeared, Fuck, what are you doing with me all the time, blinding my feelings for nothing!

He thought for a while, and said: However, my brother came from afar, and I don't dislike it. So, you are waiting for me here at ten o'clock in the evening, okay?

It will definitely work, brother Liu.

Xu Fei stuffed half a package of big produce, the man put it in his pocket, and left with his arms around the girl.

(It's time to reward...)
