who stole my time

Jin Lai shook the oily soot, put his burned middle finger into the cold water basin to cool down, it was still steaming with a chirp.He didn't cry out for pain, but just frowned, looked at himself whose dark face was reflected in the water, and smiled ecstatically.

"Hurry up and work quickly, quick! Don't be lazy, hey! What are you doing! You have been squatting there all day!" The leader of the team leader in the factory walked around a few times with a loud voice, fierce of training people.

Hearing the scolding from behind, Jin Lai stood up and said calmly, "The machine hurt my hand, I'll wash it with cold water."

When the foreman heard that he had a work-related injury, he didn't feel very confident. It's cold now, and the medical conditions can't keep up.Although the superiors told them to send them to do hard work, these people used to be famous college students. After a while, one fell ill and another injured, and he still couldn't bear what happened.The foreman still had that nasty voice on his lips, "Okay, okay, go to the small outpatient clinic and have a look, don't just leave here and do nothing but be miserable."

Jin Lai smiled wryly and shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, I have a small injury, and I dare not delay." He stood up and went to carry heavy objects next to the machine, without hesitation or laziness.Seeing him like that, the foreman couldn't help muttering, "Idiot." Then he turned and went to inspect another workshop.

After a tiring day, they slept on Chase bunks and started the midnight sleep meeting.The people are still the few people in the university dormitory, but the location has changed and the state of mind has changed. Three months ago, they were still chatting about their ideals and pursuits after graduation, dreaming of a spacious and bright office on a certain street in Beijing. Architectural drawing.Three months later, their topic became when they could get out of this ghost place.

"Why did those students fight against the police?" Li Rang said desperately, "It also dragged all of us into the water."

Their topic went back to the day when the trouble broke out. Once someone started, everyone else talked about it.Only Jin Lai didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't participate in the discussion.

When everyone fell asleep, Jin Lai still had his eyes open.The family still doesn't know where he is now, and Yuan Yu probably doesn't know either. No one will know. After studying for so many years, their youth and ideals will be buried in the ruins.

After another two months, people left the factory one after another.How those people left, everyone has their own explanations, some say that their family members found it after hard work, and it is said that a lot of money was stuffed in.Some said that when the limelight passes, a large group of people will be liberated soon.

In short, those people were free.

However, the statement that "this time the limelight will pass and a large number of people will be liberated" has not been fulfilled for a long time.Everyone becomes anxious and negative all day long, worrying that they will be trapped here for the rest of their lives.

During Jin Lai's long hours of work, his hands became rough, each knuckle was ground into rough calluses, and the black motor oil was deeply soaked in the skin texture of his fingers, which was extremely ugly.He is a clean person, he tried to wash it off countless times, but rubbing his hands red and painful until the skin was broken, it didn't help.What I got in exchange was a new bacterial infection on my hands, allergies were red and swollen, and the dirty gray and black were still deeply rooted.Jin Lai accepted the reality coldly, he knew he couldn't escape.

Jin Lai's complexion also gradually became dark and dull, like a frosted texture, getting closer and closer to the bottom-level workers and peasants.

When I was at home, my two elder sisters often teased him. He was not like his own. He was picked up from the curb, because as the son of a native peasant family, his face was whiter than theirs, and his hands were prettier than theirs. It was too embarrassing .

In the past, Yuan Yu would often praise him for being tall and handsome, not to mention that he thought he was a rich young master of evil capitalism.At this time, Jin Lai would hold Yuan Yu in his arms, and peel each other like dumpling, to compare who is whiter.Yuan Yu shrank into the quilt like a white-faced shrimp, slipping too much to catch, and scolded, "You're playing a hooligan again.../"

When Jin Lai thought of this, his eyes suddenly got wet, he quickly put down what he was doing, raised his head and blinked his eyes a few times, letting it flow back slowly.

He didn't dare to ask for anything else, as long as the people he loves are safe and happy, that's enough.

--------------

While Jin Lai was busy in the roaring machine, the foreman was on patrol again, this time he went around three or four times and still didn't leave.It seemed that after observing the surrounding situation, he walked to Jin Lai's side in peace, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "Come with me."

Jin Lai didn't know why, so he thought he was assigned a new job, so he put down the iron tongs in his hand, followed the other party without changing or washing his clothes.

Walking to a row of factory brick buildings that Jin Lai had never been to before, he only knew that they were used to receive guests, and he had never been in any specific place. He asked the foreman, "Where are we going?"

The foreman didn't say anything else and asked him to continue to follow, so he had no choice but to follow. When he walked to the door of a house, the foreman stopped and turned to him and said, "Go in, someone will see you inside."

Jin Lai hesitantly opened the door and entered. He just opened the door.He was surprised to see Yuan Yu sitting on a chair drinking tea. Yuan Yu was well dressed and the tea was not steaming at all. It looked like she had waited for a long time.

Jin Lai was stunned, and Yuan Yu stood up from the chair when she saw him enter the door, her face was full of surprise and touch, and she took anxious steps, as if she wanted to hug.

Just when the two were about to approach, Jin Lai immediately took a step back like an electric shock, "Don't, I'm dirty."

Yuan Yu's hands froze in mid-air, with a surprised and distressed expression on his face. He wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

There was a lot of oil on Jin Lai's hands and clothes. He curled up his hands weakly and had nowhere to put them. In the end, he could only rub them against his clothes. Anyway, the clothes were also dirty, and he didn't care which one was dirtier. Now his image must be extremely sloppy. .He didn't want to be so embarrassing in front of Yuan Yu...but he just stood here so aboveboard...whatever he did was funny and ridiculous.

Yuan Yu's eyes were filled with tears, the kind that would not fall, "Jin Lai, I, I will pick you up..."

Jin Lai pinched his fingers, his allergic joints were aching again, and he didn't know the reason, "I didn't even get my graduation certificate, and I'm a waste when I go back... Useless is a drag, you go."

"No, don't say that," Yuan Yu seemed excited, "You are better than many people, don't give up on yourself, what happened to your diploma? No one can deny that you graduated from a prestigious school! Besides...you and me Ah, I'll take you out...we still have a lot of chances..."

Jin Lai saw a handbag beside Yuan Yu's chair, the zipper was unzipped, and there were several envelope-thick things inside.What did he realize, "How much did you give the factory?"

"What, what money? No." Yuan Yu said.

Jin Lai stepped back and leaned against the door frame, "Don't lie to me, I know I want to leave here, and the factory is asking for [-] yuan, how much did they talk to you about?"

Yuan Yu didn't speak for a long time, and only looked up after half a minute, "Don't worry about how much, it doesn't matter, as long as you come out."

"No, you go, don't give them money. There's no need." Jin Lai lifted his foot and was about to leave, and finally added, "I'm fine here, I don't want to go out, and you will live a good life in the future, don't look for it again." me."

Yuan Yu rushed over and hugged him fiercely, ignoring the oil and dirt on his body, crying and saying, "Don't go, why did you leave me behind!... I said, money doesn't matter, I just want you, I want you!" Don't want you to suffer here!"

When Jin Lai heard him cry, his heart trembled, and he couldn't take it anymore, but he wanted to pretend to be calm, and turned around slowly. Jin Lai wanted to wipe his tears with his hands, but he thought of his own hands. It was dirty, but I still held back my hands. "Yuan Yu, listen to me, don't do such stupid things. One hundred thousand is a big amount to anyone. I don't know how much you borrowed from others. No matter how much, you should pay it back immediately. The rest is up to you It’s better than anything else to use the money to live a good life. It’s not worth spending money on me. You should have a bright future when you come back from abroad. You still have a long future and you can have a good life. , I must have a disturbed conscience, and I will not let you do this. Also, find someone to live a good life. If you don’t have feelings for girls and don’t want to get married, then find a regular partner. Zhou Zheng is also good, responsible and capable. There are many good people, and all of them are better than me. Life really needs to look forward.”

"Hehe, are you just thinking of me like that?" Yuan Yu tugged at his collar impatiently, "You don't think about yourself?! Wearing such rags! Doing dirty jobs that are worse than pigs and dogs! Think Will it rot here for the rest of its life!"

Jin Lai closed his eyes, his heart ached and became numb again, "Yes, I would rather. I know that the country will release us sooner or later. It is a matter of time. It may be months, years, or ten years. I will wait I can afford it, but I can't make you wait. Your life is much clearer than mine. The economy outside is developing so fast, and it will turn upside down in a few years. You shouldn't waste any time and money on me. Follow Zhou Zhenggan to invest. The same to you……"

Yuan Yu gritted his teeth, held back his tears, and interrupted him viciously, "Okay, then don't regret it, I'll go find Zhou Zheng right now, I'll sleep with him, and I'll do all kinds of poses in various places in his house , I still want to earn a lot of money with him, travel around the world together, and adopt a child, when the time comes, see how well I live, you will be so fucking happy!"

Jin Lai choked his throat, and said in a broken and dry voice, "Happy...as long as you live well."

Yuan Yu smiled ironically, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, "You must be an idiot."

Jin Lai licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and said with the same smile, "Stop liking idiots, you will be more stupid than idiots, goodbye."

After Jin Lai opened the door and left.Yuan Yu stood in the room without moving. He used his mobile phone to call Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng answered after 1 minute, "How about it, did you release him after paying the money?"

Yuan Yu took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I may have to stay here for a while, but I don't know how long. If you feel that you can't afford the delay at work, please fire me. I'm very sorry."

The author has something to say: no abuse,... no abuse.We, Jin Lai, are small partners who will be self-reliant and self-reliant in the future.

☆, escape from the factory

Jin Lai got up early in the morning to go to work in the factory, and when he reached the door of the workshop, his footsteps stopped.He saw Yuan Yu wearing work clothes and standing beside the machine, as if she didn't know what to do, she looked at the others blankly with her hands tied.Yuan Yubai's clean arms and legs were wrapped in loose overalls, and it was very strange to stand in the dark crowd.

Jin Lai was stunned for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards another workshop in the opposite direction, pretending not to see Yuan Yu.

After a tiring day, everyone shouted hot, and they all rushed out to take a shower after get off work.Jin Lai was usually the last one to finish work. He cleaned up the scattered castings on the floor in the workshop. After cleaning up one workshop, he went to another workshop to have a look.It stands to reason that everyone should have finished walking at the current time, so he opened the half-hidden door and continued to clean up the castings on the ground.

When the machines in the back row were packed, Jin Lai looked up inadvertently, and suddenly saw Yuan Yu squatting in the corner of the last row of the workshop, holding his legs alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jin Lai rolled his Adam's apple, lowered his head and continued to clean up as usual, until he reached his feet, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you leave?"

Yuan Yu didn't speak.

Jin Lai unconsciously used force to hold things, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Yu still didn't speak, just looked up at him piercingly.

Jin Lai subconsciously looked away, stood up and cleaned up the whole workshop.

Half an hour later, Jin Lai had finished his work, and Yuan Yu still stayed in the corner, so Jin Lai had no choice but to walk over, lowered his head worriedly and asked, "Why didn't you speak? Did someone bully you?"

Yuan Yu shook his head, lowering his head even lower.

Jin Lai was a little impatient, stepped forward and raised the opponent's chin in a strange manner, with a serious expression on his face, "Look at me, what's the matter? Tell me, is it fun to be a worker here? It's only been a day?!"

Tears slowly welled up in Yuan Yu's eyes, he tried not to cry, his face was tense, he seemed frightened.

Jin Lai sighed helplessly, staring at him silently, and after a minute, he finally stepped forward and pulled him into his arms, "Okay, I won't hurt you anymore. Be good, let's go eat, shall we?"

Yuan Yu nodded.Seeing that he was so obedient, Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, stroked his hair, and coaxed his tone, "It's been a long day, I should be hungry, I still have some beef jerky from school, I haven't finished eating, I'll be back later The dormitory will be brought to you."

Jin Lai pulled Yuan Yu up and didn't ask any other questions, including why he came here and why he didn't return to Beijing.Jin Lai knew that he was reluctant to be alone because he was willing to lower his attitude into the dust for the sake of the other person. This person was not someone else, not in the past, nor in the future, but right in front of him.

In the days that followed, Yuan Yu followed Jin Lai to work in the factory. Jin Lai was familiar with these machines, and the operation efficiency was very fast. Yuan Yu just came and worked behind Jin Lai.In this way Jin Lai took care of him, and the two of them could talk a few more words.

But after going back and forth, some old workers in the factory began to have opinions, insisting that Yuan Yu was lazy and didn't work hard.Within a few days, someone with good intentions reported to the factory manager that Yuan Yu had to be transferred to another workshop, and the factory manager finally transferred him to the workshop farthest from Jin Lai.

All the light and heavy work in the new workshop was given to him indiscriminately. As a newcomer, Yuan Yu naturally had no right to speak and could only accept it obediently.Of course he wouldn't stay here for more than half a year. He planned in his heart that one day the timing would happen to cause an accident, and then he would take Jin Lai to escape.He also carries a miniature camera, a high-end foreign product, to take pictures of the inside of the factory...Of course, he never dared to tell anyone about this idea.

Yuan Yu is not suitable for heavy work, and his strength is not strong.However, I can't help myself. According to the rules, the dirty and heavy work must be sent to the newcomers first.If things go on like this, Yuan Yu, who is 1.7 meters seven, runs back and forth all day carrying iron pieces that are a head taller than him, but he also found the trick (the trick of touching porcelain).

Jin Lai was working that day, and suddenly heard from a colleague that there was an accident in a workshop, and someone accidentally injured his leg while moving things.Could Jin Lai's first instinct be Yuan Yu? ? ?No no no.But at this moment, his heart almost stopped beating, and he ran to another workshop desperately. His vision was blurred because he saw Yuan Yu lying on the ground.

The iron piece that hit him had been removed, and Jin Lai ran up to him, Yuan Yu immediately hugged Jin Lai's shoulders, pretending to be in pain, and said, "I can't feel my legs..."

Jin Lai asked incoherently in a panic, where does it hurt.Yuan Yu's weak voice was out of tune, "It hurts..."

Jin Lai didn't dare to delay, picked him up and rushed to the infirmary.The doctor in the infirmary of the factory didn’t have the equipment to take the X-ray. He only heard that Yuan Yu was hit by an iron piece, and it hurt everywhere he touched it.

The old doctor was kind-hearted, afraid of wasting time, he called the factory manager directly, "Hey... here is a young man... with a broken bone... Yes, work-related injury, I can't be cured here, so I have to be sent to the hospital, and there is a young man with me... ...Approved, right? I'll talk to the guard about that again."

Under normal circumstances, passing the checkpoint of the gate guard requires a leave note signed by the factory manager, but today's situation is special, and the gate guard immediately let the two go through after receiving the news.

Yuan Yu has been lying on Jin Lai's back. This factory is far away from the urban area, and there are few taxis nearby. Jin Lai carried him all the way for a long time on remote trails, and he has not yet reached the broad road.

Yuan Yu turned around and saw that he was far away from the factory, so he changed his weakness and jumped off his back, "Let's run quickly!"

Jin Lai was stunned, seeing Yuan Yu bouncing around like a normal person, he didn't know why and asked, "Does your leg... still hurt?"

Yuan Yu leaned close to Jin Lai and whispered something in Jin Lai's ear, then patted the miniature camera on the inside of his belt, and said solemnly, "Listen to me."

Jin Lai and Yuan Yu ran all the way to the local TV station to expose the black heart factory of this rural enterprise, and at the same time used the photos as favorable evidence with only one purpose, to bring it down.Immediately afterwards, they bought tickets to Chongqing without stopping.

However, unexpectedly, they were still surrounded by people chasing from the factory before entering the train station.

Yuan Yu looked at the head of the factory calmly, and said with a sneer, "It's just a good deed to release a college student, but to arrest us again is to do evil deeds. Now that you have the time to arrest us, why don't you go to the radio and television stations to have a look. See if those workers have exposed the inside story of the factory, before you can get money to settle the matter. Otherwise, you are finished."

The factory manager's face changed slightly, "What did you say?"

"I said, it's useless to catch us back," Yuan Yu continued, "The radio station has received my information. Before it is exposed, you still have a chance to stop it. Otherwise, we will sink together. After the exposure, we will still be released. You should go to jail."

The factory manager turned around and said to those people, "Drive, go to the TV station!"

Jin Lai and Yuan Yu entered the waiting room of the railway station and boarded the train bound for Chongqing. After nearly two years, they set foot on the land of Chongqing again.

After getting out of the car, Jin Lai asked, "Is the purpose of your entering the factory to be an undercover agent to take evidence and expose them?"

Yuan Yu smiled, "No, the original purpose was just to save you. I know that giving them money can solve the problem, but you won't let me. And afterward, I also thought that you are suffering inside, but I have no ability to expose these things. The unscrupulous factory, instead of giving them money, is really too cheap for them! But the factory is heavily guarded, and if you don’t go in and experience it yourself, you can’t get evidence to report it. Now it’s good, they deserve it.”

Jin Lai was filled with emotions and emotions, and the most touching thing was Yuan Yu's devotion for him regardless of return.After a long time, he stepped forward and held Yuan Yu in his arms, his eyes were moist.

Yuan Yu said, "This is our home, so let's start over."

"Ah."

"We had the money and the time. It was just right."
