rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 340 The hardships of being a worker

Chen Li once watched a TV series.

That TV series described the story of several working girls from poor valleys who went to Guangdong Province to work.

In that TV series, several girls who were originally like sisters finally made different life choices.

Some people fail to withstand the test of money and end up on the road of no return.

Some marry locals just to stay in Guangdong Province without returning to their hometown in remote areas.

Some lamented that a golden nest or a silver nest was not as good as their own doghouse, and finally chose to return to their hometown.

Among them, the one that Chen Li remembers most is probably the story of the female lead in that TV series.

To put it simply, it is the story of an ordinary working girl who eventually grew up to be the head of a township enterprise!

Of course~ Since it is a TV series, there will naturally be some more bloody love, hate and the like.

But overall, this TV series was very popular at that time as a TV series with realistic themes.

How popular is this show? It was so popular that Chen Li even received a beating for it.

At that time, when this realistic TV series was broadcast, the local TV station in Nancheng was rebroadcasting the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

As a boy, Chen Li naturally likes to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In fact, not only Chen Li likes to watch it, but Chen Xue and even Chen Guofu, the father of the two brothers and sisters, also like to watch it.

But unfortunately, Chen Li's mother's love for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can only be regarded as average.

When there are no good TV series to watch, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is naturally worth watching. After all, the 1983 version of the Condor Heroes is quite a classic.

But the problem is that "Foreign Girl" is too much for Chen Li's mother to watch TV series.

So~ the final outcome is that Chen Li, under the instigation of his father, tried to challenge his mother's throne at home.

And the final result ended with Chen Li's butt being swollen!

This TV series describes the hardships and efforts of working as a worker.

In particular, this kind of TV series with ordinary working people as the protagonists was the first time to appear on the TV screen, so it naturally attracted a large number of fans.

Especially people like Ms. Wang who have always wanted to go out to work but were unable to do so due to various things. She is simply a die-hard fan of this TV series.

So at this time, if Chen Li challenges his mother's throne, isn't that asking for a beating?

Of course ~ I believe that there should be many people like Chen Li who tried to challenge their mothers and ended up getting beaten because of watching TV!

The only difference is that Chen Li was "instigated" by his father who wanted to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so Chen Li still remembers this incident.

This also allowed Chen Li to remember this "Foreign Girl" very clearly.

This TV series is, simply put, the story of several working girls from the countryside who go to big cities to work.

Throughout the play, there is actually only one word "difficult"!

Whether they failed to withstand the test of money and finally embarked on the point of no return, or chose to marry a local in order to stay in Guangdong Province, or even felt that big cities were too tiring and finally chose to return to their hometown. All of them vividly expressed a

reflect.

It is really difficult for people from small rural areas to gain a foothold in big cities!

But Wang Xiaomei did it!

Wang Xiaomei, who was talking eloquently in front of Chen Li, introduced herself as a clerk in a joint venture, and it was said that her salary was as high as 2,000 yuan a month.

But this is different from what Chen Li’s fourth cousin and Chen Li’s mother said!

According to Chen Li's fourth cousin, Chen Li's sister Xiaomei works as a foreman in a certain restaurant, and her monthly salary including food and accommodation is only 800 yuan.

In fact, this salary is quite high, after all, it includes food and accommodation!

Wang Xiaomei will leave 200 yuan for herself every month, and send all the other 600 yuan home!

And in order to save money, Wang Xiaomei has not been home for several years.

This is actually the reason why Chen Li’s mother insisted on Chen Li coming to see Wang Xiaomei!

Because Wang Xiaomei has not left home for several years, there are already gossips in Wangjia Village.

At first, Chen Li thought it was nothing. Maybe his fourth cousin and his mother were overthinking it.

After all, in rural areas, there are always people who make up lies when they have no time.

Not to mention Wang Xiaomei, who has not been home for several years, and Chen Li, who has now made a fortune. There are also people in Wangjia Village gossiping about him.

For example, Chen Li found the mayor's daughter as his girlfriend, so Chen Li was able to make money because he got in touch with the mayor of Erlong Town.

Some people say that the money for Chen Li to open the store was given by the mayor of the town. Some exaggeratedly say that Chen Li made a fortune in Yanjing because the mayor's family has connections in Yanjing.

There are even some unreliable people who say that Chen Li will become the son-in-law at the mayor's house in the future.

These people really think highly of the mayor of Erlong Town.

But this is normal. For those who may have never been out of Erlong Town in their lives, the mayor is really big.

So Chen Li didn't take it to heart at all about the gossip his mother described.

But today, when Chen Li saw Wang Xiaomei, he knew that these so-called "rumors" might not be groundless!

Chen Li wasn't sure whether Wang Xiaomei thought she didn't know that the dress she was wearing was worth two and a half months' salary.

This is based on the clerk's salary of two thousand a month given by Wang Xiaomei. If it were based on the original foreman's salary, it would take more than half a year!

Of course, it is also possible that this dress is a knockoff, after all, this situation is very common in China.

Even if this piece of clothing is a new model released just after the Spring Festival by a well-known brand, China's copycat capabilities are still a bit impressive.

In addition, Chen Li didn't know much about the authenticity of the clothes, so it was normal for him to make mistakes.

But if this is a counterfeit product, then Chen Li can only say that it is too real!

And clothes can be fake, but mobile phones can’t be fake, right?

The Nokia mobile phone of the same model as Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli has not been released in China yet!

Even those who make knock-off mobile phones cannot copy this thing at the moment.

Of course~ If you have to be stubborn, it’s not that you can’t take it away, such as a borrowed mobile phone?

Could it be that it’s just to show off in front of Chen Li? But it’s actually not necessary!

To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaomei’s habit of using her mobile phone is obvious at first glance.

If it was just a temporary loan, who would lend such an expensive mobile phone to a working girl? Even if she borrowed it, she would be cautious for fear of dropping the phone.

Only her own mobile phone can make Wang Xiaomei use it so freely!

Of course, it's not just these. Wang Xiaomei's actions actually revealed many problems.

Uh~ Okay! In fact, it doesn't necessarily count as exposure, because Wang Xiaomei may not have thought about hiding it at all.

In Wang Xiaomei's eyes, Chen Li is just a little brother from his hometown who is said to be doing well!

To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaomei's memory of Chen Li is mostly from many years ago.

No matter how well Chen Li is doing now, given his age, there is no way Wang Xiaomei could imagine that Chen Li has a soul that is decades old.

So Wang Xiaomei simply made up a lie full of loopholes in an attempt to get through.

This kind of lies is enough to deceive others, as for Chen Li.

He believed it too!

It’s not a letter he believes in, it’s just his choice to believe it!

He didn't want to explore what the Xiaomei sister in his memory was doing now!

Life has all kinds of temptations and all kinds of choices. No matter who makes the choice, it is the person's own decision.

Chen Li will not judge others with the attitude of a bystander.

He will believe whatever others say.

Anyway, after today, he probably won’t have any contact with this sister Xiaomei, so why bother!

Even if this lie may be exposed in the future, Chen Li is not willing to let himself be the one to expose this lie.

"Clang clang clang clang clang~!"

Nokia's classic ringtone rang. Wang Xiaomei took the phone and took a look at it, then hung up the phone.

She took out a piece of paper and wiped the lipstick on her lips with a seemingly elegant gesture.

"Xiao Li~ I still have work to do, so I won't invite you to play at home today."

"Someday~ If you are free another day, I will take you to eat Western food!"

"I've already purchased the order. When you go back later, give me a call!"

Wang Xiaomei came and left quickly, in a hurry. She looked like a professional expert.

Chen Li looked at the back of Sister Xiaomei and shook his head.

Turning his head, Chen Li saw the clock on the wall of the small restaurant. The time at the moment was

8:30pm!
