"A temporary worker sweeping the floor? Sister Ma, you are quite well-informed. You even knew about the temporary worker sweeping the floor so quickly. There are thousands of people in our factory." An Hua teased Sister Ma with a smile.
Sister Ma raised her chin proudly, "I entered the factory early and know a lot of people. I know everything about the factory first! By the way, the temporary officer was recommended by your army, but he is not a military dependent. I don't know why the army recommended him." Then she asked An Hua, "Did you know?"
An Hua shook her head and said, "I don't know." She just liked to listen to gossip and collect information, but she didn't like to spread it.
Sister Ma was still guessing.
An Hua was thinking, even if Feng Qi got a temporary job, how would he survive without a household registration, a place to live, and food to buy?
But she soon found out because Feng Qi's story spread throughout the factory.
Feng Qi's temporary salary is 18 yuan per month, equivalent to that of an apprentice, and her welfare benefits are almost the same as those of an apprentice. Therefore, she is not eligible to apply for the company's single dormitory.
Feng Qi went to the shantytown outside the city and built a shed. The people living in the shantytown were all migrant workers. Some came here to beg because of disasters at home, and some came here to seek refuge because of bad backgrounds and couldn't make a living in the countryside... In short, those who could make a living somewhere else would not live here. The county probably didn't want to force people to death, so the shantytown was allowed to exist and no one was driven out.
Feng Qi lives here to save money. First, he saves on rent, and second, he can reclaim some wasteland to grow vegetables and save money on vegetables. As for food, there is really no other way but to buy black rice.
She calculated that if she ate less and ate whole grains, she could save a few dollars a month.
As for the safety issues in the shantytowns, Feng Qi had also investigated them. In fact, the people living there would even monitor each other to see if they committed any crimes, because if there were any public security problems, the county would definitely demolish the shantytowns, and then they would all be left homeless.
As word of Feng Qi's hard life spread, so did her experience of being tricked into marriage by Liu Haifeng. Suddenly, Feng Qi became even more famous...
Although they were not in the same unit, Feng Qi was always a person that An Hua heard about. As she heard more and more about him, she stopped paying attention to him.
After November, the temperature drops sharply and winter officially arrives.
An Hua received a remittance slip and a letter.
The remittance slip came from the provincial capital. With the introduction of An Bohuai, the provincial capital song and dance troupe asked her to write two songs. This was her reward.
The letter came from the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe in Beijing, inviting her to write a song, a military song.
An Hua didn't know how the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe knew about her, but it was a good thing after all. She read the requirements in the letter carefully several times, but did not rush to create. Instead, she planned to collect some materials first.
When Xiao Zheng came back that day, he saw An Hua standing at the door waiting for him. She was smiling and helped him take off his coat.
He looked down at her, his Adam's apple moving, "It's not even dark yet, and you're thinking about it?"
An Hua: "...clear out the yellow garbage in your brain."
Xiao Zheng touched his nose. Did he misunderstand?
But when has she ever helped him take off his clothes except when she wanted to?
An Hua hung up her coat and turned to look at him with a smile, "I need your help with something."
Xiao Zheng laughed, "I thought it was something else. You should have said - I have something for you to do!"
An Hua couldn't help laughing, "You're becoming more and more slick."
Xiao Zheng looked around and didn't see the child at home, so he hugged An Hua and kissed her, then asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
An Hua explained the situation again, "...I want to visit the military camp and interview the grassroots soldiers to understand their lives and psychology."
Xiao Zheng already knew about her side job and was very supportive. He nodded and said, "It's a small matter. I'll arrange it."
An Hua was also very generous, "Then to express my gratitude, I will reward you tonight..."
Xiao Zheng looked at her expectantly.
An Hua wanted to tease him, "I'll reward you with an extra bowl of rice."
Xiao Zheng was furious and wanted to hug her and beat her up, but An Hua ran away like a loach.
Xiao Zheng was so angry that he had to make her cry for her parents at night. He would write his name backwards!
