Quick Travel: Downing Zhazhalu

The moon was sparse, and I looked out from the dilapidated window. The evening wind blew through the treetops. In the room, my aunt said with a heartbroken look on her face while stroking Gu Ling's head and said: "My child, I'm sorry, just leave." , don’t worry in the future, your uncle and aunt will not let you go hungry if you have something to eat.”

"Son, it's the Zhang family who is blind. Our Ling'er is so beautiful and capable. Without you, it's a loss for the Zhang family." His uncle comforted Gu Ling.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry. I will live a good life and won't be upset. You don't have to feel guilty. No one will know whether the person you meet in the future is a human or a ghost."

The aunt wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and comforted the nephew and uncle: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. It's a big day. Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's eat!"

It's night, silent, and everything falls into a deep sleep.

"Have you heard? A new textile factory has opened in the market town. I heard that they are recruiting a lot of people, especially women. As long as they are not gangsters, are willing to work, and can endure hardships, they can get this amount every month." The person who spoke said with his hand Comparisons were made across from him.

"Impossible, don't be a liar. Life is not easy these days. Which family would hire so many people and spend so much money to support them?"

"Don't believe it, I heard that this cloth spinning factory, I don't know what factory means, but I heard people say that factory means very big, and there are a lot of people who want it. Besides, they don't let you go first. What can you do to deceive poor people like me by giving them money? And I also heard that this was led by the Zhao family, and someone behind the scenes provided the technology."

"If the Zhao family takes the lead in doing this, we can trust it. The Zhao family is a well-known cloth merchant in our local area, and they are usually the most philanthropic and wealthy households. It must be true. Let's go and take a look:"

"Let's go, let's go together. It's such a good thing. Let the mother-in-law at home come out to work, which can be regarded as adding an income to the family. This way, my boy can learn to read. At least he won't be like me when he grows up. If you work hard like this, you can only make ends meet." After that, a group of people walked towards the cloth spinning factory.

I saw a sea of ​​people at the entrance of the textile factory. There was a man sitting at the table with a pen in his hand, recording the people who had signed up in front of him. There was also a large recruitment notice, which clearly stated the recruitment requirements and monthly salary benefits. .

"We are not literate. Can anyone who is literate help us to see what is written on it?" A male voice came from the hustle and bustle.

The man raised his head, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, please listen to me." The man's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, the man slowly lowered his raised hand and said, "Everyone, listen to me. I am the person in charge of recruiting workers at the textile factory. My surname is Zhao, and I am known as Mr. Zhao. Yes, I am the biggest Zhao in the area. Zhao from Home Cloth Spinning.”

The man gave up, and then said: "Let me explain to you what is on the notice. The Zhaojia Cloth Textile Factory recruits a large number of male and female workers, mainly women. The young women who are quick and agile mainly work in the textile industry, and the older ones The men do cleaning or kitchen work, and men mainly do heavy work such as dyeing cloth. The salary is calculated based on actual skills. It is paid per month and is paid every month. If you don’t do it, you can take it all away. Food and accommodation are included. Five yuan of silver is required. There is no cap. Specific people will be subject to technical skills after a simple test. The salary will be increased once a year. People in your family will come first, first come first, until full. Do you understand what I say?" The man looked at the others and asked.

"I understand." Everyone replied in unison.

"By the way, there is one more thing that our boss has specially explained. The Zhang Qing family in Zhangjiacun and the Wang family in Wangjiacun will not be accepted. If there are people from these two places, you don't need to come."

Through word of mouth from the villagers, many people come for interviews every day, but there are still many people who don't believe it and have a wait-and-see attitude. Gu Ling is not in a hurry, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley.

"We really got our wages. No one lied to us. We are so happy. We can buy new clothes for the kids at home."

"No, when I came to work, our head didn't believe it. Now that we know that I can make money, we finally have some money left on hand." A woman wearing coarse clothes said, her face full of joy. Looking happy.

At this time, a passerby came over and said, "Can that aunt really get five cents of wages? It's like this. There is a cousin in my family. Her husband passed away. She is a widow with a daughter. Now she is My husband's family was kicked out and they had no land or land. Life was very hard and everyone was so hungry that they had no meat left. I asked, if cloth spinning still recruits people, can I let my cousin do it too?"

"We're recruiting. We're recruiting all year round. Now the boss says there's a huge order volume and there's not enough manpower. I'm not afraid of your ridicule. The boss says he'll give two cents for introducing a person. Isn't he planning to take advantage of the break to go back to the village to recruit people? Well, as long as your cousin is willing to do it, there will definitely be no problem."

The man in front of me looked embarrassed, hesitant to speak but found it hard to do so.

"Oh, brother, there is nothing to hesitate about. How can you hesitate about such a good thing? Your cousin is not the daughter of a wealthy family."

"Auntie, you have misunderstood me. I am afraid that my employer will mind me. As I said before, my cousin is a widow with a child. I am afraid that my employer will dislike her." The man looked at her sincerely.

"Hey, I thought you were hesitating about something. Let me tell you quietly that our boss is also a woman. She is well aware of the current situation of women. She once said to the first group of us that as long as we are honest and willing to work and have children, we can bring them in It doesn't matter if you are a widow or not, as long as you come, the boss will accept you, and, you know, our food and accommodation are not that good, and we also have meat dishes, and the portions are huge."

"Your cousin won't miss anything if you try it." Come on, come on, I'll take you to the factory gate. The aunt pulled the man away very enthusiastically.

"Manager Zhao, this eldest brother's cousin man went there with his daughter, without food or water. I want to ask if we can accept it?"

"Come on, it's the same sentence. As long as you don't commit adultery, have good character, and are willing to endure hardships, we all want it. So what about the widow? It's not her fault. You can ask your cousin to come and bring the children too. The children will have a place to play. of."

"Thank you, Manager Zhao. I'll thank you on behalf of my cousin. Give her a way to survive. I'll bring her over right away." The man said to Manager Zhao while bowing and crying with tears on his face.

"Brother, go quickly, complete the procedures as soon as possible, and get out of the sea of ​​misery as soon as possible."

"That's great, that's great. I want my sister, daughter, daughter-in-law, and wife-in-law to come to work." There were chattering voices in the crowd.
