Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 836 Old Immortal

This weaving factory is neither big nor small.

In this weaving factory, there are a dozen large and small workshops.

Among them, the largest number is the spinning workshop.

The number of spinning workshops is about seven or eight. Now because of the application of steam engines, the area of ​​spinning workshops is relatively large.

A spinning workshop can spin a lot of yarn at one time, and there are more than a dozen female workers in each spinning workshop.

In the current Xuan Town, it is no longer a special case for men to work in factories.

In factories like weaving factories and food processing factories, women are the most popular.

Although women's labor force and endurance are not as great as men's, women's care and patience are not comparable to men's.

Therefore, for this kind of factory that needs to be careful, women are still very popular.

In a workshop of this textile factory, a female worker looked at the other female workers and said, "You said that we work here all day long, repeating the same actions every day, do you think that one day we will become fools?

I heard that we work long hours, and if we repeat an action, we will become fools. "

The female worker standing next to this female worker is the manager of the workshop. When she heard this female worker say this, she said with a displeased face: "I said, what are you thinking? You can go out if you don't want to work, and you don't have to work in the factory.

There are many people who want to work in the factory. If you don’t want to work, don’t think about it. No one is forcing you to work.

You can go out if you don't want to, and no one will stop you.You take the wages from the boss and say these words now. What do you mean by these words?
The boss doesn't owe you any wages, and the factory in Xuanzhen is not this one.Are you the only one afraid of being a fool?Stop talking here, and don't say these words in front of me in the future. "

The female steward spoke fiercely and sternly, and the female worker was terrified and kept silent.

The female manager glared at the female worker, then looked at the surrounding female workers who put down their work, and shouted, "What are you guys looking at? Are you done with the work in hand?

Hurry up and give me a job, otherwise, watch out for your wages. "

The stewardess started wandering around the workshop as she spoke, at this moment, a female worker suddenly walked into the workshop, she came to the stewardess and said, "The boss needs to find you, you should go there now. "

The stewardess responded, "Okay, I'll go there now."

The female worker said and walked towards the door. When she walked out, she turned around and looked at the female workers who were working in the workshop, and said loudly: "You guys give me a good job. If I come back later When I saw you gossiping here again, be careful about your wages."

The female steward said a few threats and walked out of the workshop.

The female worker who spoke before kept her eyes on the female manager. When the female manager left completely, she put down her work and wandered around in the workshop.

When the other female workers saw the female worker wandering around in the workshop, they advised, "Don't wander around there. If the supervisor finds out after she comes back later, maybe she will really deduct your wages."

The female worker who spoke before said nonchalantly: "Deduct it, just deduct it, I don't care."

The other female workers looked at this female worker's indifference, shook their heads, and then started working again.

The female worker stopped, stood in the middle of the workshop, and yelled loudly, "I told you all to stop working. What I just said was not lying to you. It's true. Before, I had a neighbor , working in the cannery not far from us, repeating the same job every day, it seems that people are a bit abnormal now."

The female worker's voice was loud, which instantly attracted the attention of the female workers in the workshop.

This female worker is called Liu Yimei, she is not very old, 23 or [-] years old.

Although young, she is already married.

All the female workers in the workshop listened attentively.

"Is what you said true or false? Why are you so evil?" A female worker not far from Liu Yimei asked.

Liu Yimei looked at the female worker who was asking the question, and said with a look of surprise: "Can I still lie to you about this kind of thing? This thing is true, and the worker who became a fool lives next door to my house.

This person has been working in the cannery for several years, but he didn't expect to become a fool today.

He made a lot of money, but what's the use of making so much money?People are stupid now, no amount of money is of any use. "

"Hey, what you said, why do I feel that you are lying to us? Why have I never heard such a thing?" A female worker looked at Liu Yimei in disbelief.

Liu Yimei rolled her eyes at the female worker, and said nonchalantly: "Believe it or not, I can't lie to you anyway.

What I said is true, you think about it, we repeat the same work in the workshop every day.

Although it looks simple, this kind of life is too monotonous, and there will definitely be problems after a long time. Don't look at you as if you are all right now, but let me tell you, you must have problems, but you haven't noticed. That's all. "

No one in this world likes to hear other people say that they have problems. After Liu Yimei said this, the female workers in the workshop were all ill in an instant.

They stared at Liu Yimei with ugly faces.

A few female workers with a relatively hot temper even started to curse.

"Liu Yimei, I told you to stop talking blindly there. Hurry up and work. If you don't work, you can go out and don't bother us.

He also said that we are abnormal, but I think you are abnormal. "

A grumpy female worker gets to work after scolding.

In this textile factory, the wages of these female workers are not low every month. Driven by the wages, none of the female workers is willing to believe what Liu Yimei said.

Liu Yimei saw that the female workers in the whole workshop did not want to see her, so she calmed down and returned to her post to start working.

The reason why this Liu Yimei said these words was not aimlessly.

Seven or eight days ago, this Liu Yimei was bought by Cui Tianli's subordinates.

Cui Tianli's subordinates asked Liu Yimei to spread this kind of words in the workshop, so as to cause panic among the workers in the workshop, so that all the workers in the workshop quit the factory.

It didn't take long for Liu Yimei to settle down.It started to make noise again.

Liu Yimei put down her work again and came to a female worker not far from her.

This female worker is called He Xiaoni, and she is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, which is exactly the age of cardamom.

Liu Yimei stood beside He Xiaoni, muttering, "Xiaoni, I don't think you should come here to work at such an age.

You are still young, and when you work in a factory, you are exchanging your life for money.You can see that when I first came in, the skin was thin and tender.You can squeeze out water when you pinch your face, but look at you, you are now a yellow-faced woman.

Look at the callus on your hand, how thick is it?I remember that you are not married yet, if you work here again, I guess no one will want you.

This woman, especially a woman who is not married, shouldn't do these jobs that show her face. You see, if you come here to work now, there must be a lot of gossips in the future. Let's see who will marry you in the future? "

He Xiaoni answered Liu Yimei's questions while working.

He Xiaoni is a relatively shy person, and she always has a smiling face to everyone on weekdays.

He Xiaoni was not angry because of Liu Yimei's words, she said with a smile on her face: "Sister Yimei, leave me alone. Although I am not married yet, I have a family to support.

My mother is still sick in bed, and my father's legs and feet are not good. He broke his leg while working outside the year before last, and now he can no longer work.

My younger brother is studying now and his academic performance is very good.Maybe I can go to university in the future.

Now the whole family is supported by me alone. If I don't work here now, my whole family will starve to death.

Sister Yimei, leave me alone, you'd better go about your business.Besides, if I marry or not, I have my own discretion in my heart, and there is no need for you to worry. "

Liu Yimei couldn't say anything more when she saw He Xiaoni's reluctance, so she could only return to her post resentfully.

After a busy day of work like this, when the sun went down, the female workers in the workshop walked out of the workshop where they were working, went to the changing room, changed their work clothes into the clothes they wore when they came back, and then walked out of the factory towards their home. and go.

Outside the factory is a straight concrete road, with street lamps erected on both sides of the cement road, and the light from the street lamps illuminates the cement road brightly.

There are also hawkers pushing small carts selling food on the side of the road.

He Xiaoni stopped a few steps away from the factory gate.

She turned her head and glanced at the gate of the factory, and suddenly remembered what Liu Yimei said to her today.

For He Xiaoni, this job is very important. Without this job, He Xiaoni's family would really be a problem.

Therefore, He Xiaoni desperately needs this job.

He Xiaoni thought about her family and remembered what Liu Yimei said to herself. In order to keep her job, He Xiaoni re-entered the factory again.

He Xiaoni came to the door of the boss's office.

Normally, the boss is the last one to leave the factory.

The current boss is busy with unfinished business in the office.

He Xiaoni stood at the door of the boss's office and knocked on the door of the boss's office.

"Come in."

A vicissitudes of voice came out.

He Xiaoni pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

The boss of the weaving factory sat behind a desk, dealing with various books on the desk.

The boss put down the pen in his hand, looked at He Xiaoni, and asked, "What's the matter?"

He Xiaoni said what Liu Yimei said in the workshop today, as well as the details of the incident.

The boss sat quietly behind the desk, listening to He Xiaoni's voice, his face gradually turned pale.

In the eyes of the boss, what Liu Yimei said was driving her workers away.

No boss can tolerate workers like Liu Yimei, and no boss will allow his workers to drive his workers away.

"It's outrageous, it's really outrageous, does this Liu Yimei not want to do it anymore?"

The boss slapped the table angrily and yelled angrily.

He Xiaoni was taken aback by the boss's expression, and stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

After a while, the boss regained his composure and said to He Xiaoni: "Okay, you go out first, I know about this matter, remember not to tell anyone about this matter."

He Xiaoni let out a cry, then exited the boss's office and ran out of the factory gate.

After He Xiaoni left, the boss lost his temper for a while before leaving the factory.

Early the next morning, the boss of the textile factory fired Liu Yimei.

For such a black sheep, the boss will not allow her to stay in the factory for a second.

After Liu Yimei was fired by her boss, she had nowhere to go, so she could only go home.

Liu Yimei and her husband rented a house not far from the factory.

Liu Yimei and her husband came from the countryside of Shanxi, and all the elders in the family are in the countryside.

They also had two boys, and because of the high level of teaching in Xuanzhen, they brought their children to Xuanzhen.

Liu Yimei's husband is also a worker, working in a soap factory not far from Liu Yimei.

When Liu Yimei came home, her husband was not at home because it was not off-duty time.

Liu Yimei's two children are now in elementary school, and it's school time, so they are not at home now.

Liu Yimei sat at home, looking at the empty home, worried for no reason.

Liu Yimei's two children have already gone to primary school. Although the tuition fees for primary school are not expensive, the cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstones is quite high, plus daily expenses and sending some money to their hometown every month.

Therefore, the expenses of this family are still relatively large.Now that Liu Yimei suddenly lost her job, Liu Yimei began to get nervous.

Liu Yimei's husband is not a good tempered, and sometimes beats and scolds Liu Yimei for certain things.

"What should I do? What should I do? If my father finds out, he must beat me to death!"

Liu Yimei sat in the room with a flustered expression.

It doesn't matter what Liu Yimei said in the factory, but in fact she is more scared than anyone else.

Liu Yimei sat blankly in the room, not knowing what to do, not knowing how to tell her husband about this.

After sitting in the room for a short time, Liu Yimei couldn't sit still. She put on a coat and walked out of the room and her home.

It started to wander on the street. It was noon, not commuting time, so there were hardly any people on the street.

"Liu Yimei?!"

A voice sounded from behind Liu Yimei, and Liu Yimei turned around.

"It's you?"

Liu Yimei recognized the person calling her at a glance.

The person who called her was Cui Tianli's subordinate, who once asked Liu Yimei to preach stupid things at work in the factory.

Cui Tianli's subordinate saw Yang Taishan, he was a general under Cui Tianli's subordinates, and he was very powerful in demagoguery.

"Why are you wandering around the streets when you don't go to work?" Yang Taishan asked curiously.

"Ugh!"

Liu Yimei sighed and said, "I was fired from the factory!"

"You were fired from the factory? How did you get fired from the factory? Is it because of the things I asked you to do before?"

Liu Yimei nodded and said, "It's really because of this incident that I was fired. What you said before is correct, none of the bosses who run factories are good people."

Liu Yimei's face was full of anger. In her opinion, the boss should not have fired her.

Yang Taishan smiled and said: "Of course, I told you a long time ago that these factory owners only have interests in their eyes.

If you can bring them benefits, then they will pay you wages. If you can't bring them benefits, or touch their interests, they will turn their faces faster than anyone else. "

Liu Yimei took a deep breath, and said with a low will: "It's just that I understand too late now."

"Since you have left the factory now, you might as well follow me."

When Liu Yimei heard Yang Taishan say this, her eyes lit up instantly. "Follow you? Will you still give me money?"

When Yang Taishan asked Liu Yimei to spread those words in the factory before, he gave Liu Yimei a lot of revenge.

Yang Taishan's face was full of smiles, "Yes, I will definitely give it to you. I am not those factory owners. I will definitely give you money. I will not squeeze you."

"In that case, then I will follow you."

After Liu Yimei said that, she followed Yang Taishan and left.

Yang Taishan took Liu Yimei around the street and came to a large house.

This house is a stronghold of Cui Tianli's subordinates, and now a lot of people have gathered in the yard of this house.

These people are male and female, old and young.They sat cross-legged in the yard, around a high platform.

In the middle of the crowd, there is a high platform that is more than one person tall, and on the high platform sits a middle-aged man who is talking.

This middle-aged man has a childlike face and white hair, but he looks a bit fairy-like.

He was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his left and right hands were pinching very weird handprints, his eyes were slightly closed, he was talking, and he kept chanting something.

Yang Taishan took Liu Yimei to the back of the crowd.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Yimei looked puzzled and asked, "What is this for?"

Yang Taishan pointed to the person on the high platform and explained: "This person is very capable, he can reach the sky, and he can talk to the gods in the sky.

Now he is talking with the gods in the sky to see how to save the working people. "

"Rescue the working people?" Liu Yimei was a little puzzled.

"That's right, it is to save the working people. The current Xuan Town looks very prosperous, but these prosperity are illusory, because this prosperity has nothing to do with ordinary people like us.

So, I asked this old fairy to communicate with the heavens to see how to solve this problem. "Yang Taishan's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was talking nonsense.

Anyone who has read books for a few years will hardly believe this kind of nonsense, but people like Liu Yimei who have never read books account for the majority.
