Chu Qiao went out to buy groceries these days, and she could always see a sneaky man at the door of the machine tool factory. He was about thirty or forty years old, tall, but his appearance was vicious and wretched, and he didn't look like a local in his clothes. City natives, few people wear handmade cloth shoes now.
This man looked at Miansheng, which he had never seen before, and every time Chu Qiao met this man, she could feel the man's disgusting eyes. She usually walked on the street and often met the attention of the opposite sex, but this This look is polite, just look away for a while, unlike this man staring at him, disgusting like a leech.
This morning, Chu Qiao went to the market to buy vegetables. It was hot in the summer vacation. She bought vegetables in the morning when the sun was not shining, and then she didn't go out for a day. When she reached the gate, she deliberately stopped, and she was not far away. Seeing that wretched man, in the same clothes as a few days ago, with greasy and disheveled hair, with a disgusting smile on his face, he stared intently at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao grimaced and walked to the guard. Before she could speak, the guard greeted with a smile, "Where are you going to buy groceries!"
"Have you seen the man over there? The people who have been poking their heads at the door these days, wouldn't it be a thief who stepped on it?"
Chu Qiao pointed at the man, and the two guards looked over, recognized the man, and explained with a smile: "It's not a thief, he came to Shanghai to visit relatives, he's a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world, you Don't take it to heart."
"How did you know he came to visit relatives?" Chu Qiao asked curiously.
"That guy came to us to inquire about whether the factory was hiring or not. He had an accent from the north, and his family was so poor that he even married a wife. The couple came here to join relatives and wanted to find a job."
A doorman briefly talked about the man's situation, and his tone was very disdainful. Some locals in Shanghai have a natural sense of superiority and look down on outsiders, especially the poor from the countryside, and they are all called hillbillies.
Chu Qiao glanced at the man and said with a sneer, "This kind of person doesn't seem to be working seriously. He looks like a thief. We can't recruit such a person in our factory. If they come in, they will ruin the atmosphere of the factory."
"That is, recruiting can't be casual, character is the most important thing, it is best to be a local person, and non-local people are not very reliable." The guard master agreed very much.
"There are also reliable people from outside the city. You can't kill a boatload of people with one stick. We only have so many people in Shanghai. We still have to rely on outsiders for economic development, but they have to be hard-working and hardworking.
Chu Qiao doesn't like to hear such words. Strictly speaking, she herself is not a native of Shanghai, but a native of Zhejiang Province. She doesn't like the sense of superiority of some locals, as if everyone outside Shanghai is inferior.
But in a few decades, the attitudes of young people in Shanghai will change a lot. They will no longer be so exclusive, and the times are progressing.
"Yes, yes, there are also good people from other places. In fact, we have been from Shanghai for several generations, haha."
The other doorman was much more slick and echoed Chu Qiao's words, because he was not a local himself, and his grandfather's generation moved from Ningcheng, Zhejiang Province.
Chu Qiao chatted with them for a while, and then went to buy food. As soon as she left, the wretched man went to the doorman to chat, and pulled out two front doors. In the face of cigarettes, the doorman reluctantly Chatted with him.
"Aiya, women in big cities are water spirits. That woman was prettier than a movie star just now, isn't she a little girl?" The man praised Chu Qiao.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and as expected, he said that Jiangnan women were watery, so he should have come here sooner to open his eyes.
"The child is almost two years old. Don't stare at others with those eyes. Your husband is very powerful. Go back and punish you for being a hooligan. I will arrest you and go to jail!" a guard guard warned.
The man was startled, and when he arrived in a big city where he was unfamiliar, he restrained a lot, unlike being domineering in the village, no one cared about him anyway.
"I'll take a look, I haven't seen it."
The man chuckled, pulled out another front door, and pretended to ask casually, "I heard from my relatives that there was a young actor in the recent very popular movie, and the one who played Niuwa lived in your factory, really. fake?"
The doorman's eyes lit up immediately, and proudly said: "Then there is still a fake, that child belongs to the beautiful woman just now, not his own, it seems that his parents died and were adopted by her family. The two brothers are handsome and handsome. Smart, you can see it every day."
When talking about Xiaobao, the doorman became interested. Xiaobao is now the star of glory in the machine tool factory. Who can produce a nationally famous child star?
The whole Shanghai city is also one of their machine tool factories. Speaking of which, they are proud and proud.
The man's eyes also lit up, which really took no effort at all, the blind cat bumped into the dead mouse and bumped into it.
This man is Luo Lichun's concubine. His surname is Cai and his name is Cai Jinfu. The name is very good, and it also implies the good expectations of his parents for him. Unfortunately, this guy is not up to his expectations. He was indifferent even when he died.
After learning that Xiaobao was in a movie, Cai Jinfu moved his mind. There was no rush in the poor mountains. .
He heard people say that Jiangnan is rich, especially Hucheng, where there is gold on the ground. Since the Dabao and Xiaobao brothers were adopted by Hucheng people~ This is a good opportunity from heaven, and it is also a good opportunity for Cai Jinfu to make a fortune. .
So Cai Jinfu worked hard for a few nights, stole a lot of chickens and ducks, sold some money, and rushed to Shanghai with Luo Lichun. Luo Lichun only knew that Gu Ye was in Xingda Machine Tool Factory, but he didn't know anything about the specific situation. That's why Cai Jinfu comes here every day to visit, wondering if he can meet Dabao and Xiaobao.
These days, he and Luo Lichun live in the cheapest hostel. They only eat once a day, and the money is getting less and less. If he can't find anyone, he will have to do his best, but Cai Jinfu is a little scared. The village dares to steal chickens and dogs, but the big cities dare not, for fear of being caught by the police, and even more afraid of being beaten to death.
Cai Jinfu secretly cried out God's blessing, and took the opportunity to inquire about Chu Qiao's family. When he heard that their family was the richest in the machine tool factory, Cai Jinfu was overjoyed.
After inquiring clearly, Cai Jinfu left and went back to the hostel. Luo Lichun lay lazily on the bed and saw him feebly asking, "Have you bought anything to eat?"
She was almost starving to death. She ate one meal a day, or two dry steamed buns with pickles, and made do with the free boiled water provided by the hostel.
