This cold night was infinitely elongated.
I walked with a limp, and the street lamps stretched my figure very long. I was so hungry that my eyes stared straight, and I passed out when I walked to the back door of a foot-washing city.
When I woke up, I was lying in the staff dormitory. There was a row of low tile-roofed houses outside. There were lights inside the house, and several women were sitting beside me eating melon seeds and playing mahjong.
I suddenly thought of Sister Feng, and the row of low buildings. I thought I was being taken back by Sister Feng again, so I cried out in fear, shrank into a ball and hid in the corner of the bed, trembling stiffly.
At this time, a gentle-looking woman who was about my age came to the bed. She held a cup of hot water in her hand and wanted to drink it for me. She also comforted me not to be afraid, she was not a bad person.
I looked at the water in her hand, and remembered that Sister Feng had treated me so tenderly, then turned around and pushed me into the fire pit with a smile.
I shook my head and desperately hid in the corner of the bed. She held the glass of water and looked at me timidly.
At this time, a short-haired woman playing cards with a cigarette in her mouth glanced at us, "Xiaohua, what's your name with a little beggar? These days, there are many wolf-hearted people. You are kind, bring her back and go to the kitchen to give her something to eat, look, she doesn't appreciate your kindness at all."
Only then did I see that there was a big iron rice bowl on the stool next to the bed, and there was more than half a bowl of rice and some vegetables in the rice bowl.
I looked at Xiao Hua with some hesitation, although I was very hungry, but with the lesson learned from Sister Feng, my eyes were full of caution and guard: "You... what do you do?"
"We wash feet here, and our name is Dihao. Look, this is my overalls, with my name embroidered on it!" Afraid that I would not believe it, Xiao Hua pointed to the chest of the dark red overalls, on which the word "Dihao" was embroidered.
I thought about it in my heart, I don't have any money on me now, and I will starve to death sooner or later if I go out, if I can stay here and work, I can have a full meal, but will they want me
Xiaohua brought me the half bowl of rice. Although there was no meat, this half bowl of rice was already the best meal I had these days.
I was dizzy and dizzy from hunger, but now that my mind is relaxed, I feel even weaker and weaker. I took a few glances at Xiaohua, and finally I couldn't resist the hunger. I took the rice bowl, and quickly ate the rice in the bowl until the end , Even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.
The short-haired woman counted her winnings while smoking a cigarette, "Little beggar, hurry up and leave after eating, we don't allow outsiders here."
The short-haired woman is very good-looking, much better-looking than Sister Feng. She belongs to the kind that can be seen at a glance when she is placed in a crowd. Because of years of smoking, her fingers are slightly yellowed from the smoke.
"Are you still short of people here? I am very diligent, I can do anything, and I will work hard." I looked at the short-haired woman pleadingly, longing for her to give me a job.
The short-haired woman frowned. Obviously, she didn't expect me to make such a request. After counting the money, she put the money in her pocket, and then blew out a smoke ring: "We don't accept child labor here."
"I'm 16 years old, I'm not a child laborer! Really!" I explained hastily.
I spent a day in the city during the day. I know that it is illegal to work in the city under the age of 16. Although I am 16 years old, I am also a minor worker. I cannot do many jobs. The bosses are afraid of trouble, even more afraid of People like me are usually not accepted when there is an accident and a lawsuit is filed.
The short-haired woman looked at me hesitantly. At this time, Xiaohua went to hold her hand, begging for me a little coquettishly: "Sister Weiwei, she looks pitiful, and she still has so many injuries on her body, so go and talk to her." Brother Viagra, please let her stay, please, sister Weiwei."
This woman is called Sister Weiwei. She looks to be in her early 20s, but she behaves like a veteran. She glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out.
Xiaohua comforted me, saying that sister Weiwei is a good person, she and Cheng Wei, the foreman of Emgrand, are fellow villagers, and if sister Weiwei is involved, the matter will most likely be resolved.
After a few minutes, sister Weiwei came back, she said that this matter is done, but because I am young and have no work experience, I will be given a one-month internship. There will be no salary during the internship, but I will be in charge of food and lodging, and I will look at my performance later. If I perform well, I will become a full-time employee. After I become a full-time employee, the basic salary is 700 yuan, plus a commission.
I was suddenly ecstatic, 700 yuan was a huge amount of money to me, and there was a commission, I felt full of strength, I got up from the bed and hit my head on the iron bed, the pain made my eyes stare, But I am very happy.
I finally have a job and I won't starve to death on the streets!
I said a lot of grateful words to Sister Weiwei, and I even wanted to kneel down to thank her. Sister Weiwei was a little embarrassed by me, so she lit a cigarette and walked to the side, urging everyone to rest impatiently.
I only found out later that Sister Weiwei's original name was Zheng Wei, and she and the foreman Cheng Wei were classmates in junior high school. Cheng Wei seems to have always liked Sister Weiwei. Sister Weiwei came to work here after dropping out of school because of her poor family. He also found some connections and came in as a foreman, taking extra care of Sister Weiwei.
