80s Taoism

"Come on, let's have something to eat. You haven't brought in a grain of rice this way. If you go on like this, even if you're in Guangdong, how can you get into the factory in this situation?" On the sleeper car going south, in the narrow semi-horizontal position, Zhang Youping looked at Liu Qiaoye worriedly.

"I'm fine. I'm not hungry at all. The beggar has grown up so big, and he has never been separated from us. He is so stubborn, and he will definitely not go to live with his parents. He is at home alone, who will cook for him? Who will cover him with a quilt at night? Will he be fed and clothed warmly?" Liu Qiaoye was worried about Zai Zai along the way. Having said this, tears flowed out again.

A female passenger in the neighboring shop comforted me kindly, "Sister, it seems that you are going out for the first time. When I first came out to work, I was exactly the same as you. When I came out, my cub was only a little over three years old. At that time, a relative of mine was in Guangdong and asked us to go there to work. When I first came out, my cub fell asleep. Later, I heard that I cried for a few days before I gradually got used to it. I cried all the way to Guangdong. I woke up scared. After doing it for a year, I got used to it. Now my cub is used to my grandparents. When I came home for the first year, my cub couldn’t recognize me. Now I’m not very close to me. Sometimes I really regret it. Why do you go out to work? It’s not like you don’t have food at home. But you have to be poor at home. It doesn’t matter if our adults are poor.

"Sister, have you been to Guangdong for many years?" Liu Qiaoye asked in surprise.

"Yes. I went a few years ago. At that time, Huacheng was not very big, and it has changed a lot in the past few years. By the way, have you been to any place in Guangdong?" The female passenger asked enthusiastically.

"Not yet. I went there with people from the same village. I went to Guangdong to find the factory. What's the name of the elder sister?" Liu Qiaoye shook her head.

"My name is Xiao Lihua, I was born in 1965." Xiao Lihua smiled.

"My name is Liu Qiaoye, born in 1966. My man's name is Zhang Youping, born in 1964." Liu Qiaoye and Xiao Lihua talked happily, and suddenly forgot the pain of being far away from their hometown, mother and child.

"My man's name is Zhao Hongbing, also from 1964. When we came to Guangdong, we are fellow villagers. And we are authentic fellow villagers of Gezhuping Town. By the way, when I came back, I heard that our factory is going to recruit people this year. Why don't you two try it with us. I'll go talk to my relative, maybe it will work. It's better to be more stable after entering the factory. Guangdong is still relatively chaotic now. It's much better after entering the factory." upset.

Between people, it is all about fate. If Liu Qiaoye and Xiao Lihua's seats were not so close to each other, and both of them had similar experiences, they wouldn't have walked so close all of a sudden.

Xiao Lihua's neighbor was a strange man, so it was not convenient, so Liu Qiaoye asked Zhang Youping and Xiao Lihua to change places. The two women talked about everything, and they arrived in Guangdong without knowing it. When they arrived in Guangdong, Xiao Lihua and Liu Qiaoye seemed to be good sisters who had known each other for many years.

Originally, Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye came out with Zhang Shicai, his wife and their relatives. But now Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye have a better place to go. Naturally, they couldn't go with Zhang Shicai and the others.

"Shicai, you must be well outside. When Qiaoye and I settle down, Qiaoye and I will look for you." Zhang Youping felt a little guilty.

"It's all right. I can't guarantee that you will find a job. That Xiao Lihua has acquaintances here, and he will definitely be able to help you find a job. You can settle down and find us. Maybe we will rely on your relationship to enter the factory in the future." Seeing that Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye had better fortunes, Zhang Shicai was very happy for them.

In this era, a large number of migrant workers have not yet begun to pour into Guangdong, and various factories in Guangdong have broken ground like spring villages in various parts of Guangdong. At this time, the requirements for entering the factory were extremely low. Although Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye were not highly educated, at least they were not illiterate. Soon he found a job in the factory introduced by Xiao Lihua. Although it is the lowest level of work. But for farmers who have come out of the two mountains, this is not easy.

"Zai Zai, mother has found a job. Your family must be fine!" At night, when Liu Qiaoye was lying in the collective dormitory of female workers, she looked at the white ceiling and said something silently in her heart.

The night in Meizi'ao was silent, and Zhang Jiaohua had already done all the housework properly. Then I sat under the incandescent lamp in the room and opened the book I had read for a little while.

Diamond Mountain Leopard lay at Zhang Jiaohua's feet, eyes narrowed.

Jin Hu and the others surrounded Zhang Jiaohua, they were very interested in the pages in Zhang Jiaohua's hands.

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of pages being turned, which was very crisp and soothing.

Zhang Youping went to Guangdong wearing the only mechanical watch at home, and there was no timer at home. Zhang Jiaohua didn't know what time it was now. When he saw that he was sleepy, Zhang Jiaohua sealed the book and went to bed.

With a pure heart, Zhang Jiaohua can fall asleep quickly every time. In the dream, the old Taoist master was still teaching Meishan martial arts. Things in the dream seemed to be upside down. Not long ago, Zhang Jiaohua also dreamed that the old Taoist master was seriously ill, and he solved the intimate hexagram. After a while of dreaming, he fell back again. It may have something to do with Zhang Jiaohua practicing Meishan Zhuang Gong every morning. Thinking every day, dreaming at night.

In the dream, Zhang Jiaohua practiced kung fu proficiently, and naturally received fewer beatings. But today, there is something new.

The old Taoist filled a large bamboo plaque with millet, and tied two ten-jin sandbags on Zhang Jiaohua's legs: "From today on, you will run on this bamboo plaque for a stick of incense every day. Don't let it fall! Add half a catty of sand to your legs every day, and reduce ten catties of millet in the bamboo plaque."

There is a load of millet in the bamboo plaque, about 140 to 50 catties. Zhang Jiaohua only weighed forty to fifty catties, standing on the frame of the bamboo plaque, the bamboo plaque did not shake at all. But the bamboo plaque frame is only two fingers wide. It is not easy to stand firm on this. It is not an easy task to insist on running a stick of incense on it.

Zhang Jiaohua didn't get used to it at first, and accidentally fell off the bamboo plaque.

"Crack!" The bamboo stick in the hand of the old Taoist master had already hit Zhang Jiaohua's body. The beating made Zhang Jiaohua tremble all over. It really hurts!
