After completing the job application and packing up the dormitory, Song Jin took the employment certificate back to the brigade in the afternoon to transfer his household registration. He rode his bicycle back and forth in a hurry. On the way, Wang Xiaohui, Ding Xiaomai and others from the educated youth point tried to stop the bicycle, but Song Jin turned to the side and ran over quickly.
All that is left for them is a graceful and free back view of them running towards a new life.
After returning home, Song Jin tidied up the dormitory for a while, went out and found a deserted place and pretended to bring back a big bag of things.
The dormitory where Song Jin lived was a self-built tube-shaped building. The corridor was full of things. There was a coal stove in front of each door, and there were bags covering the sides, which should be coal. Some of them had black marks on them, which should be marks made to prevent people from stealing coal.
Song Jin also pretended to take out a coal stove, pots, pans, and other things from the big bag he had brought back from outside.
There were many people secretly watching in the corridor, basically all of them were family members. Song Jin's single room was probably envied by everyone, and many people were paying attention to her moving in.
Song Jin ignored everyone else. She had no intention of living in this tube-shaped building where ordinary employees lived. There was a large compound behind it where the families of leaders and factory engineers lived.
She just couldn't believe that even though she had so many "advantages", she still couldn't get the treatment of an engineer.
She had to research what other drawings she could use. She didn't plan to stay in the factory office as a clerk, with a monthly salary of 26 yuan, which was not enough for her to squander.
In the evening, Song Jin had a quick bite to eat and had almost put everything in order at home.
There was no entertainment, so she went to bed early. The sound insulation in the tube building was very poor, and there were all kinds of chaotic sounds around her, the mother-in-law scolding her daughter-in-law, the children crying, and all kinds of worldly sounds.
The next morning, I was woken up by the alarm clock at 7:30. After washing up and packing up for breakfast, I walked to the factory at 8:10 and arrived in five minutes.
It was 8:30 when work started. There was no one in the factory office at that time. Song Jin did not go in without permission. He walked around the door twice before someone came. He greeted him and followed him in.
At half past eight, everyone was there except Cao Meimei.
The director's face looked unhappy, but he still asked Song Jin to introduce himself to everyone and welcomed the newcomer with applause.
Song Jin was bored the whole morning, and most of the others were reading newspapers, with one even knitting a sweater.
Song Jin took the factory's newspapers from the corner and started reading.
Cao Meimei came yawning at eleven o'clock. It was obvious that everyone in the office knew her. No one looked at her strangely as she was three hours late. Instead, they all came up to her and greeted her.
It seems that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.
At noon, Song Jin went to the cafeteria to eat. The machinery factory was indeed a big factory, and the food in the cafeteria was very good, as long as you were willing to spend money on the ticket.
Song Jin had a delicious meal. There were many people around her who were silently paying attention to her. Such a pretty girl was obviously a newcomer. Many single young men planned to come and get acquainted with her, but after seeing Song Jin's three full lunch boxes, they backed off.
He eats so much, I’m afraid I can’t feed him myself.
Others were looking to see if they could get something for free, but before anyone else showed up, Song Jin had already quickly shown off his three lunch boxes.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the people around him, he walked out of the cafeteria without looking around.
Song Jin's whole body exudes four words: Don't get close to me.
In the afternoon, Song Jin thought he would continue to slack off and wait for lunch after get off work, but he didn't expect that Assistant Lin, the factory director's assistant, would come to find Song Jin just after work in the afternoon.
After she arrived there, the factory manager asked her if it was true that she was proficient in English. He pointed to a few sentences in an English book and asked her to translate them.
English was the subject Song Jin had learned best from childhood to university. In preparation for the exam this time, she went to the county bookstore to read some books about mechanics. She found that she could basically understand them, except for some particularly professional vocabulary.
But it doesn’t matter, she has an English-Chinese translator in her space, so it’s so easy for her.
The factory director looked at Song Jin with amazement and took out a document in English with drawings. Song Jin took a look at the drawings and thought that this should be a machine similar to a seed drill.
The factory manager said he would give her three days to translate it accurately. Song Jin said, no need, just these six pages, I can get them before leaving get off work.
Factory Director...
