I want to have a home

After more than ten hours of trekking, the train finally arrived at G City.At this time, the sky was bright, and the morning glow leaked from the tall buildings in the city. It was said that this was the hottest season in City G, but since it was early in the morning, the air was still slightly cool, not considered hot.

Lin Jiale helped the man hold the child, and they left the train station together.This train station is said to be the train station with the largest flow of people in the country. The square is full of people, and there are hurried passengers everywhere.Lin Jiale sighed: "There are so many people!"

The man walked aside with two big snakeskin bags: "That's not too many people. If it comes to the Spring Festival, there will be so many people that they can stand on the road."

Someone ran over one after another and asked, "Do you want a car?"

The man waved his hand: "No, thank you."

After walking for a while, he stopped: "Little brother, I haven't thanked you yet. My name is Liu Mingliang, so you can call me Brother Liu. Where are you going?"

Lin Jiale quickly said, "Okay, Brother Liu. My name is Lin Jiale, and I'm going to City D."

"It's summer vacation, are you going to visit your parents?" Liu Mingliang said with a smile.

Lin Jiale shook his head: "No, I graduated from high school and came out to work."

"Just finished the college entrance examination?"

"Ah."

"Oh, hehe." Liu Mingliang didn't ask him why he didn't wait for the results to come out. If someone came out because he didn't pass the exam, it would be too embarrassing, "Jiale, my home is near here. Don't come to my house to sit?"

Lin Jiale shook his head: "I'll go to City D by car, and my relatives will pick me up. Brother Liu, you have a lot of things, so I'll take you to the car first."

Liu Mingliang didn't refuse: "Okay, just take me to the bus stop." Then he instructed Lin Jiale to get on the overpass from there in a while, and after crossing the bridge is the bus station, go to the station to buy tickets, don't take a private bus, private bus The bus would ask for a lot of money, and would ask for extra money on the way, and left his phone number and address for him.

Lin Jiale nodded repeatedly.

Liu Mingliang got into the car and poked his head out of the car window: "Jia Le, be careful yourself, come to G City to find Big Brother when you have time, and Big Brother will cook you hometown food."

Lin Jiale nodded gratefully and waved goodbye. He felt that the future was bright, at least the first person he met when he came out was a good person.

The relatives in City D are my uncle's grandniece, Lin Jiale should be called my cousin, and I have met her a few times before.My cousin works in a woolen factory. She took half a day off and received Lin Jiale.It can’t be said to be enthusiastic, nor can it be said that it is not enthusiastic. The cousin said: "Jia Le, I will take you to dinner first, and then go to Hongrui Factory to meet the workers in the afternoon. In the evening, you can directly live in the dormitory of Hongrui Factory."

Lin Jiale nodded. After sitting in the car all night, he didn't sleep much. In fact, he was already very sleepy, but because his spirit was still high, he could hold on.We ate at a roadside restaurant, which said Chaoshan Restaurant. In fact, apart from stir-fried vegetables, they also sold boxed meals.During the lunch break, Lin Jiale saw many young men and women coming out of various bare gates, rushing to the side street, and scattered in various stalls and shops. Those men and women were all wearing tops of the same color, which should be work clothes.

Cousin ordered three dishes and one soup, Lin Jiale quickly said: "Cousin, you don't need so much, we just order two dishes."

The cousin glanced at him: "It's okay, it's your first time here, this is a cleansing for you. I have a friend who will come later, let's eat together when he comes."

"Oh, thank you cousin." Lin Jiale said honestly.

Before the dishes were served, a young man with streaked yellow hair arrived. He was very dark and thin, with high cheekbones.His jacket was a dark blue short-sleeved overalls, his pants were jeans with chains all over them, and his shoes were white sneakers.

The cousin introduced to him: "This is my friend, Hu Hui, he is from Cantonese." Then she said to Hu Hui in Mandarin, "This is my cousin from my hometown, Lin Jiale."

Lin Jiale quickly nodded and smiled apologetically, "Hello!"

Hu Hui said in very poor Mandarin: "Hello. You are Luo Yan's cousin, that is, my cousin. From now on, please call me Brother Fei (Hui)."

Lin Jiale was kind and kind: "Hello Brother Hui, please take care of me in the future." He thought that he might be my cousin's boyfriend.

Hu Hui patted him on the shoulder to show that he was upright, then picked up his chopsticks: "Eat, eat, I'm starving."

Luo Yan took a piece of meat for Hu Hui, and another piece of meat for Lin Jiale: "Let's eat."

Lin Jiale whispered thank you.

After dinner, Luo Yan said to Lin Jiale: "Jiale, you follow Hu Hui to Hongrui Factory to meet workers in the afternoon. He works in Hongrui Factory. That factory only recruits male workers, and our factory only recruits female workers."

Lin Jiale nodded: "Okay, thank you cousin."

Hu Hui led Lin Jiale to find the guard to register.Lin Jiale looked at Hongrui Factory. There were a few gilt characters on the outer wall of the dark red tiles, which said "Hongrui Building Materials Co., Ltd." , Looking in through the automatic door, there are two six-story white tile factory buildings inside. The tiles are not common white tiles or mosaic tiles, and the patterns are much more beautiful.It was only after Lin Jiale went in that he found out that Hongrui Factory specialized in the production of ceramic tiles. No wonder the tiles he used were different from ordinary ones, so he was advertising for himself.

Because I have acquaintances, the process of entering the factory is very easy.The personnel responsible for the recruitment looked at Lin Jiale's ID card and high school graduation certificate, and gave him a simple test paper for him to fill in. It was nothing more than the simplest common sense in geography, history, politics, etc., and one or two questions about physics. Chemistry knowledge questions.Lin Jiale was a little surprised. It turned out that there was still a test required to enter the factory, so he quickly filled it out and handed it over to the personnel without asking any further questions.

The personnel glanced at him, asked a few questions, and asked him to fill out a form.Then he left a copy of his ID, asked for two photos, and let Lin Jiale in: "Lin Jiale, gather at the gate at 08:30 tomorrow morning, and the factory will take you to the medical examination."

Hu Hui told him in advance that a physical examination is required to enter the factory, mainly to check for hepatitis B.Lin Jiale nodded: "Understood."

The personnel said to Hu Hui in Cantonese: "Little Hu, you take Lin Jiale to Lao Zhang and ask him to arrange a dormitory."

Hu Hui smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you, Sister Zhong."

On the way to find Lao Zhang, Hu Hui said to Lin Jiale: "You are lucky. Our factory still required those who can speak vernacular to enter last year." Vernacular is Cantonese.

Lin Jiale could only smile and said, "Then I'm really lucky." But he was suspicious in his heart, what kind of work must he be able to do in Cantonese?Only later did he realize that it wasn’t those who could speak Cantonese who could do these jobs, but the boss’s so-called sense of regional superiority. He felt that people in the Mainland were immature, difficult to communicate with, and liked to hang out in groups, making it difficult to discipline them.

The dormitory is 50 meters behind the factory building. There are several five-story ordinary mosaic houses. Lin Jiale lives on the fifth floor of Building B.There are four bunk beds in the room, currently there are six people living there, and Lin Jiale is the seventh.This is the same as his dormitory at school, so Lin Jiale didn't feel any discomfort. The only difference is that the group of simple and enthusiastic students have now all turned into a group of indifferent and stiff-faced workers. Not to mention friendly.Lin Jiale comforted himself, it doesn't matter, this is because he just came here, after a long time, everyone gets to know each other better, and his attitude will improve.

What Lin Jiale didn't know was that his appearance was like a wild beast entering the territory of another group of wild beasts, and everyone rejected and resisted the newcomers in unison.As soon as he came, people had to make room for him (the original empty beds were full of things), and they had to endure his Mandarin.

Hu Hui told him where to buy sheets, bedding and daily necessities, and then went to work.It wasn't until he left that Lin Jiale remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to ask him which dormitory he lived in and which workshop he worked in.

All the roommates spoke Cantonese, and Lin Jiale was like listening to birdsong. Obviously, he was isolated, or he was ignored.Lin Jiale thought to himself, I want to learn Cantonese as soon as possible, this can be regarded as an additional skill.

The first night was peaceful, everyone was working overtime, and Lin Jiale didn't have to go to work yet.He sat on the train all night last night, and he still hasn't closed his eyes much, so he washed up early and went to bed.When the roommates came back, they looked at him sleeping like a pig, kept throwing their eyes at him, and made fun of him in Cantonese, but he didn't know it.

The next day he got up when his roommates were quiet, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and looked at the big clock in front of the office building, it was only 07:30.He went around every corner of the factory. The environment of Hongrui Factory is not bad. There are three basketball courts, and sports equipment such as horizontal bars and parallel bars. This is probably because most of the factory workers are male workers, and the boss vents their energy for them. A specially arranged place.In addition, there is a meadow in the southwest corner, on which are planted a few lush trees with thick branches, which Woodlands has never seen before.Only later did he know that these were banyan trees and kapok.There is also a small flowing pool under the tree, in which there are dozens of red, yellow and white koi, which are very fat and swim around happily.

Lin Jiale is still very satisfied with the environment of Hongrui Factory, at least the boss is more humane, and the environment is even slightly better than his school.

When the bell rang, Lin Jiale remembered that he had to gather for a medical examination, so he hurried to the gate.In fact, it was eight o'clock at this time, the official working time in the factory.Lin Jiale ran so fast that he almost kissed a small car that just drove in through the gate, but luckily he stopped the car in time.The black car also stopped in time, and the window was lowered: "You are looking for death, don't you look at the car while walking?" Obviously the person driving was also frightened.

Lin Jiale didn't understand, because the person spoke Cantonese, but judging from the tone and demeanor, it would definitely not be a good word. Lin Jiale bowed down to apologize, and said, "I'm sorry, I must be more careful next time."

The man glared at Lin Jiale, was about to turn his head, turned around and looked at him a few more times, then raised the window again, and slowly drove the car into the parking lot in front of the factory building.Lin Jiale looked at the shiny black car and patted his chest, it was so dangerous!

Chapter Four

After returning from the physical examination, Sister Zhong from HR gathered the new workers for the physical examination and assigned them to various departments one by one. "Lin Jiale, you go to the warehouse." He said and handed him a badge with the photo he handed in yesterday and stamped on it.His name and job number are written on the work card, as well as his position - warehouse manager.

Lin Jiale took the work clothes, and then followed Sister Zhong's instructions to find the warehouse, which was on the first floor of the factory building.The supervisor of the warehouse is a man in his 30s, not tall, with high cheekbones, dark skin, typical Cantonese, and his Mandarin is also quite bad. The first thing he said to Lin Jiale was: "Can you speak vernacular? ?”

Lin Jiale replied honestly: "I haven't learned it yet."

The supervisor said: "Then learn it as soon as possible." He stretched out his hand and beckoned someone to come over: "Xiao Dai, I have a helper for you, take it."

The person named Xiaodai ran over with a smile. This person was taller and looked very strong, with a foolish smile on his face: "Finally here is a newcomer. Oh, how can Sister Zhong arrange such a thin figure?" Gave it to me?"

The supervisor said: "Who knows? Take it, do it for a while, and you'll get out of it."

Lin Jiale was a little embarrassed. Xiao Dai spoke Mandarin. Although it was not very standard, it was much better than others.Lin Jiale's height is 1 meters, which is not tall, but he is not short in the south, but he is a little thin. In addition, he often studies in school, does not do much exercise, and has a thin body.He greeted Xiao Dai with a smile: "Brother Dai, hello, my name is Lin Jiale, I'm new here, please give me your advice!"

Xiao Dai smiled and said to him: "It's easy to talk, come and help me load the goods first."

Xiao Dai was the first person who was kind to Lin Jiale after he entered the Hongrui factory, so Lin Jiale had a good impression of him.Hearing that he told himself to go to work, he hurriedly followed.As soon as he got there, he was dumbfounded. Did the so-called warehouse manager do this?Is it actually a porter?

Boxes of cartons are neatly stacked together, and three or four workers are taking turns moving the cartons to a small truck.Lin Jiale didn't dare to be lazy, and hurriedly joined in.The cardboard box looked small, but it was heavy. Lin Jiale took a closer look at the words on the outer packaging. It turned out to be ceramic tiles. No wonder it was as heavy as a stone.

After one afternoon, Lin Jiale was so busy that he was drenched in sweat. In the morning, he had his blood drawn during the physical examination, and he felt a little exhausted.Xiao Dai noticed that his face was pale, and quickly called to him: "Okay, newcomer, what's your name, go drink some water and rest, you look like you are going to faint. I think Your body is also very weak, and you need to exercise well, but you can't become a big fat person in a day, just take your time."

Lin Jiale smiled weakly: "My name is Lin Jiale." Then he sat aside, a worker happened to drink water, saw him sweating, and poured him a glass of water.Lin Jiale quickly took it over, thank you so much, and said thank you three or four times, which made people feel embarrassed.Lin Jiale paid attention to his work card, his name was Zhang Jian, and he was a warehouse porter.He secretly wrote it down.

After loading a truckload of goods, another big truck came. Lin Jiale fainted when he saw it. He didn't want to fill this truck with boxes, it would definitely kill people.As a result, Xiao Dai didn't call him, and drove a forklift by himself, loaded a lot of boxes in a fork, and then drove up along the board that was erected from the ground to the trailer.Lin Jiale laughed, this is considered a modern industrial society.

Zhang Jian also had time to sit down next to Lin Jiale: "Hello, my name is Zhang Jian."

Lin Jiale cheered at him: "Hi, I'm Lin Jiale, nice to meet you."

Zhang Jian also grinned, as if explaining to him: "Usually, there are not many manual shipments, and only when the car is used to load the goods, because the forklift cannot be driven."

Lin Jiale nodded: "So that's the case."

Zhang Jian asked, "Which dormitory do you live in?"

Lin Jiale thought about it: "Building B 510."

Zhang Jian nodded: "We are all in Building A. The factory is usually divided into departments, but if there are no vacant beds, we will arrange to live in mixed dormitories."

Lin Jiale found out that he lived in a mixed dormitory. "Which dormitory do you live in?"

Zhang Jian said with some embarrassment: "Building A 419."

At this time, Lin Jiale didn't know that 419 had other meanings, he just nodded: "In the future, if there is anything I don't understand, can I ask you for advice?"

Zhang Jian grinned, with a very simple and honest smile: "It's not about asking for advice. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me, and I will teach you."

Lin Jiale smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much." He was very happy and made his first friend.

At 05:30 when I got off work, Xiao Dai washed his hands and came over: "Let's go, we're getting paid today, let's have a drink together."

Several workers all agreed, Lin Jiale was expecting Ai Ai, he didn't get paid, he didn't have money, and he didn't know how to drink, so he wondered if he would wait until the end and go to the cafeteria to buy food after everyone left.Speaking of salary, Lin Jiale thought of a question, he seemed to have forgotten to ask how much his salary was.

Zhang Jian grabbed Lin Jiale's shoulder: "Xiao Lin, let's go together."

Lin Jiale hesitated and said, "I don't know how to drink."

Xiao Dai laughed: "I, Dai Gao, have never heard of a man who can't drink. If he can't, he has to learn. Let's go, brother invites you to drink, and cleans up the dust for you along the way."

Lin Jiale smiled shyly: "Thank you Brother Dai."

Because it is a payday, there is no need to work overtime at night, and everyone can enjoy the carnival.There are 9 workers in the warehouse including Lin Jiale, of course the supervisor is not counted, Dai Gao is the team leader, and the rest of the team members are Zhang Jian, Yu Fei, Lu Xiaoliang, Bai Shuai, Liang Chengzhi, Li Houfu, and Sun Lu.Dai Gao introduced him one by one, not only their names, but also where their hometown was.Lin Jiale discovered that none of the staff in the warehouse, except the supervisor, was Cantonese. Is this a coincidence, or was it intentional?

It was the first time for Lin Jiale to participate in this kind of dinner. Everyone bought a lot of cooked food and two boxes of the cheapest beer. Lin Jiale saw Dai Gao and secretly bought two bottles of Erguotou.Everyone found a grassy area in a small park in the community, sat on the ground, and began to eat and drink.Lin Jiale was poured a few glasses of beer by everyone, and everyone knew that he had just learned to drink, so they stopped forcing him.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone talked more, Lin Jiale listened quietly.It turned out that the Hongrui factory was run by Hong Kong people, and it is considered the leading factory in this area. At first, it only recruited Cantonese people, but later it expanded to recruit Cantonese-speaking people. Last year, the language was no longer restricted.Most of these people in the warehouse were recruited from last year to this year, except Dai Gao, who has been in the factory for three years.

"Damn it, I've learned bird language for half a year just because of this ghost rule." Dai Gao said bitterly.

Yu Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Gao, don't complain, it's good to learn, at least now you have become the team leader. After a few more years, maybe you will be the supervisor."

"Don't call me Ah Gao Cheng? Ah Lai Ah Go, I have goose bumps all over my body." Dai Gao made a gesture to shake the goose bumps on his body, "I feel like calling me a dog or a cat."

Lin Jiale laughed. He knew that Cantonese people like to call people Ah He, and it probably came from Hong Kong. He saw some Hong Kong TV dramas two years ago, and they were all Ah He, probably because it was convenient to call them.

Lin Jiale drank some beer, was also a little excited, and spoke more freely than before. He said to Dai Gao: "Brother Dai, I am going to learn Cantonese, can you teach me?"

Dai Gao squinted at him: "Why are you learning this? Putonghua has become popular now. Didn't you see that our factory no longer restricts languages?"

Lin Jiale touched his nose and said: "It is always good to learn. For example, when someone scolds you, you can always understand what he is saying. Otherwise, you will still be giggling when someone scolds you."

Dai Gao nodded: "That's true, those Cantonese guys don't dare to scold me."

Later, Lin Jiale thought more than once, if he hadn't learned Cantonese, would his fate have developed in a different direction?

After drinking, it was almost 11 o'clock. Several people who smelled of alcohol walked back shoulder to shoulder, and Lin Jiale helped Dai Gao to walk on the far side.When entering the factory gate, he met Hu Hui who came back from a date with Luo Yan, but he didn't see Lin Jiale.Lin Jiale noticed him and called out, "Brother Hui."

Hu Hui turned around and saw Lin Jiale driving a drunkard, he looked and looked very surprised: "Lin Jiale? What are you doing? You came back so late."

Lin Jiale smiled: "I went drinking with a few colleagues."

Hu Hui said, "Are you assigned to the warehouse?" His face changed from surprise to rigidity.

"Ah."

Hu Hui didn't say anything more.

Lin Jiale returned to the dormitory, finished washing, and was about to go to bed when he saw Hu Hui in his own dormitory. He was chatting passionately with his roommate, and when he saw Lin Jiale coming back, he called him to the corridor.Hu Hui took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, and then threw it into the stagnant water in the corridor: "Jia Le, I didn't know you were assigned to the warehouse."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jiale felt strange. Isn't the warehouse bad? The colleagues in the warehouse are very easy to get along with.

Hu Hui tilted his head, as if organizing his language into Mandarin: "That's right, that's it. The people in the warehouse are all from other provinces, and they are very excluded by other departments."

Lin Jiale remained silent, and said to himself, I am from another province, no wonder the roommates treat me as a transparent person.

"If you have the opportunity, you must go to another department. Of course, I will help you pay attention." Hu Hui said.

Lin Jiale said: "Thank you, Brother Hui. Don't bother, I'll do it in the warehouse first, and wait until I learn something."

Hu Hui argued: "But, Ah Yan asked me to take care of you."

Lin Jiale smiled: "Thank you Brother Hui, you have taken good care of me, I will tell my cousin."

Hu Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I said I would help you."

Lin Jiale nodded: "You have helped me a lot."

Hu Hui said: "I live in Building A 203, if you need anything, just come to me."

"Okay, I will." Lin Jiale said.

After this incident, Lin Jiale paid attention, and found that those Cantonese-speaking colleagues rarely interacted with Mandarin-speaking colleagues, and everyone had their own circles of life.Lin Jiale felt a little funny when he thought that Hu Hui and Luo Yan were dating, and they still had to speak Mandarin.As a result, one day he discovered that Luo Yan could actually speak Cantonese.Well, the situation is not in control, let's learn.
