in the year of graduation, I went to the construction site and the project. The company guaranteed food and accommodation, and everything was okay except freedom.
The project department is located in a remote ravine, and there are no shops and no people around, just us and hundreds of migrant workers. In order to earn more money, many migrant workers married with children came here.
Every evening at 6 o'clock, they will set up a row of stalls on the roadside, selling fried rice, fruits, snacks and lunch boxes. 8 yuan a box lunch, there is a good meat, I have eaten several times, the boss is very simple and honest, afraid that I don't have enough to eat, always give me the amount of two people, a large piece of lean meat seems to be free.
There is a couple who sell pig's head meat. They take a four-year-old child and set up a booth at the entrance of the project department on time every evening. Because the chef in the canteen is from the northeast and basically cooks northern cuisine, we sometimes change our tastes.
Every time he goes to his stall to buy pot-stewed meat, his 4-year-old child stares at the chicken feet, duck intestines and pig's trotters which are full of fragrance and hands them to us, and asks his mother for food. At this time, his mother either hands him a steamed bun or gives him a biscuit.
The aggrieved and envious look makes people feel funny and sad, so sometimes we will give him a candy or a few bags of snacks. Every time he receives a snack, he will happily show off with his mother for a long time and walk around the booth set up with three wheels.
There are many people living together in the workers' shack area, and there is almost no winter near the tropics. Therefore, usually, after work, the workers will always nest in the yard to watch an open-air movie together, or gather around with bare arms to talk about it. The stove set up at the door stirs up the food, which often smells like hometown, quite like fireworks in Jianghu.
we don't usually go to the workers' area, except to buy ice cream and coke.
Because the boss told us that the workers' area was too messy, there were often fights, and girls were not safe in the past.
The temporary shop in the workers' area is undoubtedly a treasure for that desolate place, so every time I want to go for a walk after dinner, I always go to the shop with my little sister in the project to buy an ice cream, and then I eat it while walking, and then I will run out of ice cream when I come back from the outside.
Our board house is stationed on a flattened mountain. When we first went, we lived on the first floor.
The climate in the south is too humid and the temperature is very high, so there are annoying bugs everywhere.
What impressed me most was the red ants, which dragged their red and transparent bodies around every corner. I had some intense phobias. When I first saw them, I was sick for a long time.
at night, they will climb up along the legs of the bed, and then take a bite at your little finger when you are fast asleep. That taste will never be forgotten in my life.
Their saliva is poisonous. It hurts and itches when you bite it, and it will swell up. I was bitten like a sieve the month I first went, but fortunately my face was not hurt, otherwise I would be ashamed to see others.
We tried many ways to keep them from disappearing until we moved.
Our new home is on another hillside. We girls live together and are arranged on the third floor.
Seven beds and odds and ends make up our "new home".
There isn't any furniture in the house. At first, we got several large cartons and put clothes and daily necessities in them.
Later, simple wardrobes and shoe cabinets were gradually added, and then wallpaper was put on the walls of the board houses, so that it gradually became like home.
I sleep in the innermost bed, and outside the room is the construction site. Every day, the noise of machines keeps going day and night, and people who disturb me can't sleep.
The roof of the bed has lifted a corner. Besides the sound of machines outside, the sun and wind sometimes pour in. Fortunately, the rain doesn't pour in, but many birds like to peck at my side of the wall in the morning and knock.
All the girls in the room are second sleepers except me. Because of otitis media, I can't wear earplugs for a long time.
at that time, the way I spent the night was usually listening to music and reading poetry, and then falling asleep amid all kinds of noise.
That year, I finished reading most of the poems of Yu Xiuhua and Mu Xin, but I also suffered from neurasthenia.
The girls in the house are very easy to get along with, and they have never quarreled. Now, sometimes, when listening to friends complaining about sharing, a little luck will suddenly slip by.
Our house is in the first room on the stairs, next to the boys' dormitory. In the first project, there are 4 or 5 people, but there are no more than 1 girls, which brings a lot of inconvenience.
Because there is only one sink and clothes drying shed, at first, washing and clothes drying are all when no one is around. Other clothes are better, so personal clothes are a little embarrassing.
think about it, you are washing the Bra, and a boy next to you comes to brush his shoes and has a chat with you. It just happens that you still have some good feelings for that boy, which is really embarrassing.
At the beginning, in order to avoid this embarrassment, all the girls in the house either waited until everyone in the project went outside to play at night, or hid in the bathroom to wash their intimate clothes.
But it's always inconvenient, so it's easier to do these things generously and naturally after getting acquainted with everyone.
it's like, when the girl's physiological period comes, she is generous enough to take sanitary napkins in the office, which is actually no different.
Time is really amazing. It can alienate many things, but it can also bring us closer.
At first, because they cared too much about their image, girls always appeared beautifully dressed in each other's field of vision. Later, after getting acquainted, they stopped wearing makeup, and often shuttled between offices and each other's dormitories in pajamas after work.
because we all live together, we have all seen the way we are sleepy, the way we just came out of the shower in a mess, and the way we are plain.
interestingly, after getting acquainted with several boys, they will knock on our door when they get up in the morning and say, "Girls, get up!" "
cute and amiable.
The life of the project is not all hardship. For example, there is a river crossing not far away, and boats fishing on the river often pass by. For example, beautiful rainbows often appear in the sky after the rain clears, and the sunset glow is more spectacular.
Sometimes, we will go shopping in shopping malls far away, mostly by reservation. Drivers will come from far away, and the fare for a trip always hurts a little.
so sometimes we go a long way to find one of their bikes and ride to the mall.
Later, the mountain in front of us was leveled, and everyone found a shortcut to the shopping mall, but every time they had to get covered in dirt, they had to be ashamed every time they entered the city, so white shoes were absolutely afraid to wear.
On calm days, there are occasional waves passing by, such as the raging typhoon weather, for example, migrant workers and contractors quarreled and got to the project gate, for example, there were too many rainy days, and the simple stairs were too slippery and fell for more than ten times. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.
The project leaders are all very good, and they are the best leadership team I have ever met.
They will take us out to restaurants from time to time. There are large groups and three or five people. Every time we eat, we just eat, and there is never any table manners. You can talk about it in Kan Kan or work hard.
Besides eating, they will take us to the movies and karaoke bars from time to time, and they will also take us on a short trip quietly on holidays.
Festival flowers and various benefits are never lacking.
Every office often receives special fruit products from customers. Usually, the department that receives the gifts always shouts
"Come down (come up) and get oranges (cherries/grapes) ~"
After about a minute, the doors of all departments will be pushed open and a representative will be sent. Then, after a rush of footsteps, a group of people all gather in the yard.
In this way, I spent it there bored and full of fun.
I stayed there for nearly a year. At that time, I thought I would have stayed there if I didn't want to change careers.
Because I have never met such a lovely group of people since then.
