My 1979

Zhao Qing is a girl who lives in the melon fields. Li He can't find her, so he can only take Wan Liangyou for a walk in the streets and alleys of Shenzhen.

Wan Liangyou had no choice but to follow Li He again.

In addition to high-rise buildings such as the Guomao Building, which has a "three-story building for three days," there are billboards, Great Wall Electronics, Jiangzhong Grass Coral, Bailong Mineral Water Kettle, and "McDonald's" written in traditional Chinese characters.

As for behind the high-rise building, in addition to the beautiful sunset, if you walk a few steps, you will find either a small river or a patchwork of shacks. There are also many sampans on the river, which are standard equipment for fishermen.

Shenzhen, which is booming and full of vitality, still has not escaped the category of a fishing village.

The two people were walking around in circles, and when they were about to go back, they found that they were a little lost.

There was an old lady selling jackfruit, and she kept saying: jackfruit, jackfruit, jackfruit...

Li He stepped forward and asked, "Sister, which direction is Guomao going?"

"Afraid of Lu Di?" the old lady chirped for a while.

Li He failed the Qionghai dialect level exam, and Li He was a little doubtful about life. He didn't understand anyone. He has a classmate from Qionghai who makes me want to cry every time I hear him talk.

"Thank you." Li He turned around and left.

Unconsciously, he and Wan Liangyou walked into a factory area, mostly clothing factories and knitting factories. There is only one main road, with factory buildings and dormitories on both sides, and farmers' houses of different shapes. These factories, dormitories and farmland are intertwined. Together with the sign like a goddess scattering flowers and the dusty container trucks, it looks rough at first glance. It was ferocious, but gradually I could feel a vitality and became much more pleasing to the eye.

This appendix-like road, a featureless narrow alley, seemed particularly empty.

The dormitories of each factory are basically located around the factory area. They are basically small buildings with five or six floors. Work clothes of the same color are hung in each corridor. Occasionally, clothes of other colors are exposed, which makes them look bright.

Li He looked curiously towards the dormitory area. It was probably dinner time. There were many people going back and forth between the factory area and the dormitory. The men and women looked like ghosts, their images were blurred and their eyes were red. .

Most of them were half-grown children. Li He bet that many of them were under the age of sixteen. He seemed to see wrinkles on those immature faces.

Taking advantage of the dormitory security's inattention, Li He and Wan Liangyou rushed in.

The male workers' dormitory was like a secret room. There were six bunk beds in the small room, which could accommodate twelve people. There were all kinds of messy things stuffed under the beds: there were all kinds of garbage piled on the floor, the ceiling fan on the top was dirty and rusty, and the towels were dripping. , sneakers were drying next to the teeth, and the quilt was balled up.

The dormitory for female workers was slightly cleaner, but it was still cramped and oppressive.

"You're actually using child labor, you're so damn lacking in virtue!" Li He felt uncomfortable.

Many half-year-old children were eating from enamel jars while looking at the roaring Li He in confusion.

Wan Liangyou said awkwardly, "You can't say that. It's all about giving them a way out. I didn't join the army when I was sixteen."

"How can this damn thing be the same!" Li He couldn't hide his anger, "This kind of boss should be struck by lightning! Damn him!"

Wan Liangyou covered his forehead with his hand and pretended not to see anything. He pointed at the large characters on the top floor that shone in the sunset and said, "Look at that."

Li He was stunned when he saw those big characters!

Golden Deer Textile!

It’s actually our own factory!

Damn awesome!

"Yu Dehua deserves to die!" Li He had the urge to strangle Dehua to death!

Wan Liangyou explained, "Compared to other factories, the conditions here are already good. There are still factories with fifty or sixty people crowded on the floor. Why bother about this? What else can they do if they don't work?"

He was born into a poor man and had little food and clothing since he was a child. In his opinion, the conditions in these factories were already very good. If he had been young and had such conditions, he would laugh out of his dreams.

In this world, there have always been many sufferings that city people cannot imagine.

There is basically no way out for these half-grown children in their hometown. All they are waiting for is poverty. What else can they do besides go out to work?

What's more, earning three to five hundred yuan a month can subsidize the family and solve family difficulties without losing a way out.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Five or six security guards rushed over and surrounded Li He and Wan Liangyou.
