Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Liu Jing suddenly hugged Wang Yi.

"Xiaoyi, that's enough, stop crying. We haven't left yet, have we?"

"Xiaoyang, did your cousin say something to you just now?"

"No, my cousin won't say anything to me. She just gave me two pieces of clothing. She's going back to her hometown tomorrow and asked me if I had any messages for my grandparents."

"Xiaoyang, there are too many people here, and many of our coworkers are watching. It's not a good look. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go back to the dormitory. We're going to Shenzhen tomorrow. You can say whatever you want there."

"Okay, that's fine!"

"Xiaoyi, you two go back to the dorm. I'm going to have another smoke to calm down. See you at the factory gate at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

Liu Jing helped Wang Yi back to the factory.

Ding Yang lit a cigarette and went to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

Take a drag of a cigarette, then a sip of alcohol.

Suddenly my phone rang.

"It's David calling."

"Hey! David!"

"Ding Yang, how many days off do you get at your factory for the May Day holiday?"

"The factory officially gives us three days off. We will work overtime from the 4th to the 7th, but it's not mandatory. You can choose not to work overtime, and it won't affect your full attendance bonus, but your overtime pay will be doubled."

"Oh, it's similar to our factory. Ding Yang, if you haven't gone back to your hometown, come visit Houjie. There are still quite a few fellow villagers here."

"Dawei, I won't be coming over for the May Day holiday. I'm planning to quit my job in a while, and I'll come see you then."

"You're really quitting? Being a QC worker shouldn't be too tiring, right?"

"Dawei, actually I'm not tired at work at all, except for the long hours. My supervisor is a woman who likes me, but she doesn't care about me at all. I'm just slacking off at work, but I'm not happy at all."

"Then what are you unhappy about? You get paid to slack off every day? If you went to another factory, you might not get such a good job."

"Dawei, a person can't live without dreams. If I run out of money, I might work in a factory for two months. But once I have some money, I still need to find a promising career."

"You can only see the end of your career in the factory. At best, you'll become a team leader. It's a complete waste of your youth. Your situation is different from mine. Your family is better off, and your parents are still young. My grandparents are old. To be frank, if my grandparents suddenly pass away one day, I won't even be able to afford their funeral expenses."

"If they suddenly pass away, that's fine; we can just keep the banquet simple. But what if they get sick? If they're lying in the hospital, I don't even have the money to buy them a wheelchair."

David fell silent.

"Brother, I understand your difficulties. Since you've made up your mind, I support you."

"When I get my salary, I'll pay you back the 300 yuan and transfer another 700 yuan to you, making it 1000 yuan. If you're really short of money, I'll call my dad and borrow some from him."

"No need, Dawei. I'm telling you this not to ask you for money. Actually, you don't spend much money at the factory. Apart from having a late-night snack, there's nowhere else to spend it. The main thing is that I feel there's no future here, and I don't want to waste my time."

"Alright, Ding Yang, if you quit your job, come to Houjie. It's been a while since we brothers have seen each other. Let's have a good chat."

"Okay! I'll definitely come find you after I quit my job."

After hanging up the phone,

Ding Yang sat at a late-night food stall and finished a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) in just over half an hour.

Then I returned to the factory dormitory. Since it was not yet 11 o'clock, there was no one in the dormitory.

Ding Yang opened Liu Cuicui's bag.

A brand new casual outfit, a pair of jeans, and a short-sleeved shirt, all from second-tier brands, which probably weren't cheap. There was even a wad of cash in the shirt pocket; when I took it out and counted it, it was exactly 1000 yuan.

Ding Yang suddenly felt a warm current rush to his head. He didn't have a biological sister, but he didn't expect his cousin to have such feelings for him. What he said to her that day seemed a bit too harsh.

After tidying up, I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I had drunk a bit too much, and now that I was sleepy, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

At this moment, several of the workers from the dormitory returned.

As soon as they walked in, they started talking about women: which woman had big breasts, which woman had a big butt, and which guy had picked up another girl. They seemed uninterested in anything else but women.

"Ding Yang, why are you sleeping in so early today? Didn't Wang Yi treat you to a late-night snack?"

Ding Yang pretended to be asleep and ignored them. He had no interest in talking about women and found it vulgar.

"Sun Jie, Ding Yang is asleep, don't talk to him. Wang Yi is not someone to be trifled with, or he'll fire you."

"Go away, I'm not afraid at all. I bet that woman has slept with Ding Yang, she's probably a big water tank by now."

Ding Yang really wanted to beat him up, but then he thought better of it. They were all working in the factory, and it wasn't a big deal for a bunch of bachelors to grumble a little. There was no need to be so petty; he wasn't that narrow-minded.

Ding Yang didn't say anything, but deliberately turned around.

Seeing that Ding Yang was not asleep, the others stopped talking.

In fact, in the factory dormitory, having a big fist is also a form of deterrence. Where there are people, there is a social hierarchy, and where there is a social hierarchy, there is fighting and killing.

Ding Yang is 1.84 meters tall and has a muscular build. The other guys in the dorm are all a little intimidated by him, and no one dares to bully him.

Suddenly his phone rang. Ding Yang took it out and saw an unfamiliar number.

"Hello!"

"Who is it!"

"Is the brat asleep?"

"I just lay down! Who are you?"

"What, can't you recognize my voice?"

Wow, Yang the translator!

"Big sister, what does that mean?"

"Come out for a moment!"

"Big sister, I'm already lying down."

"I'll be waiting for you outside the office building in 5 minutes."

Then he hung up the phone.

Ding Yang seemed to have sobered up a bit. Damn it, I don't have any dealings with this woman, how did she know my phone number?

Ding Yang quickly put on his clothes and also put the 1000 yuan in cash that Liu Cuicui had given him into his pocket. It wasn't safe to leave it in the dormitory; if someone stole it, he would be devastated.

The dormitory lights were already off, so I quickly went downstairs and ran towards the office building.

There stood Yang, the translator.

Upon seeing Ding Yang arrive,

The woman turned around and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Ding Yang had no choice but to follow her, and after walking for a while,

"Hey beautiful, what brings you walking your monkey so late at night?"

Where are you planning to go for the May Day holiday?

"I'm going to Shenzhen tomorrow, what's up?"

"Are you going with Wang Yi?"

"No, I have a classmate in Shenzhen, I'm going to visit him. Why are you suddenly asking me this? We're not at that stage yet, are we?"

"Hey kid, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Big sister, you're not thinking of pursuing me, are you?"

"Stop being so narcissistic, okay? Do you think I'd be interested in an ordinary working-class guy?"

"If you don't like me, why did you call me down here? It's the middle of the night, and we're all alone. If someone sees us, they'll think we're having an affair."
