His Majesty is a sick beauty

Chapter 69 Female Workers

=================

In the weaving factory.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A group of female workers are sitting next to a large loom, quickly operating the wooden machine with their fingers, and the light gray linen is quickly woven as the shuttle flies up and down. This improved loom can weave hundreds of The fabric is as thin as a foot, and the texture is fine and tight, the thickness of the weaving thread is consistent, and the woven fabric is beautiful and wear-resistant.

The weaving factory only accepts women. Although there is no age limit, as long as they are dexterous, most of the female workers are around 25 years old.Girls in their teens are either waiting to get married or brides at home. They are relatively shy and rarely have the courage to work in factories. Most women who have just turned 20 have just given birth to a child and need to be raised carefully.

The 25-year-olds, on the one hand, got rid of the shyness of girls, and on the other hand, most of the children can be taken care of by the elderly at home. Even if there is a new child, the older child can already take care of younger siblings.And because the family size increases, the pressure of family life also increases, and they are more motivated to go to the factory to get a new job.

For these women, going to the factory to work is not only a new income for the family, but also a kind of confidence for themselves.Half a year's salary of a dexterous female worker can equal the output of a man in the family's farmland for a year. Maybe their ignorant wisdom is not enough for them to realize what this change means in such a short period of time. , but the smiling faces of her husband's family, the thoughtfulness of the man and the admiration of the child all made them instinctively grasp this hard-won job, and here they realized the dignity they had never had before.

Even without relying on a man, she can support herself and her child's dignity and confidence.

"Cough cough."

There were a few more coughs, mixed with the creaking of the loom, and the female supervisors shuttled back and forth to ensure that the woven fabric would not be uneven in thickness.

After hearing the coughing of several female workers, she turned her head to look at Tianguang, clapped her hands and said, "Everyone is resting for a while, drink some water slowly."

The weaving factory adopts an assembly line operation method. Each employee is like a screw in the machine, which is the prerequisite for the smooth operation of the whole machine. hand, causing the entire cloth to be unusable.

Today's women give birth early, and most of these female workers have more than one child, but after all, they are only in their 20s, which is the time when they are active.Everyone was very focused when they needed to concentrate on operating the machine before. After all, no one wanted to lose such a good job opportunity because of laziness. But at this time, the supervisor had issued an order to rest, and they immediately seemed like birds out of the cage. , gathered together and chatted happily.

At this time, entertainment activities are very scarce, and most of their communication is inseparable from parents, husbands and children.

"Is he still hitting you now?"

"No, since I took the money home last week, he didn't even dare to beat me, he didn't even dare to scold me. I can get so much copper coins and exchange so much grain for a week of working in the factory. Before A few days ago, I also heard him and his mother-in-law discuss quietly, saying that he would give me an egg laid by the old hen at home every day, saying that I was too tired from work all day and needed to supplement my nutrition.”

"Hee hee, he is seeing that you can make money."

"Yeah, if I were ten years younger and entered the factory, I probably wouldn't have chosen him. But now we have two children." She looked a little lonely, marriage among common people in this era is more like a kind of In cooperation, there is seldom true love between husband and wife, and naturally, there is no loyalty.

Women are still fine, after all, before this, they did not have any upward channels, but for men, it is a very normal and free from any moral condemnation to marry a concubine after they are prosperous. matter.

But it is precisely because there is no love, she will not be too disappointed, she just lost for a moment, then raised her head again: "With my identity as a worker, my Niuniu has also become a popular person in ten miles and eight villages. Even though she is only seven years old now, there is a matchmaker who wants to propose a kiss."

"Really?! Don't say it easily."

"Of course, I have to save some more dowry for her!"

"Speaking of which, the new year is coming soon, do you have any plans?"

"This year's harvest is not good, I plan to buy more grain and save it."

"I plan to tear up two pieces of red cloth, buy some ready-made clothes, go back and change them myself, and make two festive clothes for my family."

"My children haven't eaten white sugar yet. I plan to buy them some sweets during the Chinese New Year."

"Smoked rabbit! I must buy a smoked rabbit for the whole family to eat during the Chinese New Year. My family has never seen much meat in a year. A smoked rabbit is not expensive. It is enough for the whole family to sit together and eat one."

……

These female workers were excitedly discussing the plan of faith. They also heard that during the Spring Festival, the government will set up two theaters at the west gate and the south gate. People are busy for a year, isn't it just for the New Year to be able to reunite and be happy?

"Cough cough..."

While discussing and discussing, several people couldn't help coughing softly.

"Are you ok?"

An older woman looked worriedly at the few female workers who were coughing non-stop today: "You have coughed several times today, you must have caught a cold."

There are braziers in the factory, and it takes a lot of effort to operate the machines, so let alone catch cold, many female workers will sweat profusely while working.

But now that it’s winter, many female workers are still too young to appreciate the cold and don’t know how to cherish their bodies. When they come out of the factory, they always want to blow the wind, and they are willing to change into thick clothes only after the heat has been driven away.

"You won't be wearing this thin dress when you go out again."

Those female workers looked at each other with some guilty conscience.

The older woman put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows and was about to start a long speech to criticize their actions. At this moment, the supervisor came over with hot water.

"Hurry up and drink hot water to warm up your body. Isn't it just a little cold? If it doesn't work, just grab a couple of medicines when you go back later!" She said, "Aunt Zhang, you really treat yourself as a They are mothers!"

The female workers quickly took the hot water. They knew that Aunt Zhang was doing it for their own good. After pouring water for her graciously, they hurriedly begged for mercy twice, promising that they would never do this again.

The voices of the female workers were as brisk as Huang Ying's. They were so flattered by chattering around that Aunt Zhang couldn't hold back her face anymore, so she pinched their noses with a smile.

"Also call me mother, I think you are itchy, if you are my daughter, you will all be tied to a tree and beaten!"

"We were wrong, Aunt Zhang, never dare again."

The female workers held hot water in their hands, coughed lightly, and laughed.
