It is still early spring, and everything has not yet recovered. In the countryside, people are still basking in the sun, playing poker, rolling dice, and making nonsense. However, I had to grit my teeth and get up early in the morning, eat two bites of cold pancakes, and immediately run to the factory across the road, fearing that I would be deducted for money when I am late.

The main task of our pre-spinning class is to ensure that hundreds of machines in the workshop are operating normally, from the daily maintenance of the machines to the installation, repair and debugging of the machines, which are both physical and technical tasks. Every day, as soon as we go to work, Squad Leader Xu will come to assign the work of each master according to the requirements of the workshop. After the master received the task, he will take us apprentices to work. Generally, the maintenance and repairs on weekdays are just two masters and apprentices. When there are some major repairs, almost the whole class needs to go together. At this time, Xiao Cai and a few elementary apprentices were scattered by Fatty Zhang and others, and they did some dirty and tiring physical work.

The hard work, the loneliness in my heart, and the monotony of life did not wear down my inner joy. Every day, I wear that brand new labor cloth work clothes. As long as there is a reflection, I can't help but secretly look up and down. Although the people in the mirror are a bit thin, Zhou Zheng's face, tall figure, and new clothes and big leather shoes all look handsome no matter how you look at it.

After a day of fatigue, I was as tired as a dog. When I returned to the guesthouse at night, I ate something randomly, and lay on the bed, but my heart was moving. Since that shocking glance, I learned for the first time what is fascinated and incapable of suppressing youth, and I was always as unstoppable as a volcano eruption. I don’t know if every boy has such a catastrophic process in his development. On the one hand, he is addicted to the daydream of eroticism and cannot extricate himself, and on the other hand, he has to bear the deep self-blame of his heart.

I can basically recognize the number 30 people in our security class. I know that the red-faced fat man's surname is Zhang. The one who has had a marriage with his master and likes to threaten me is called Xiao Li, and Master Huang who is unshaven... Zhang is old and has a very sexy mouth. He speaks dirty words when he opens his mouth. A pair of hairs, Xiao Li is a special thief, who can tease people in different ways. They are two "living treasures" in the security class. Most people are afraid of them. Senior Brother Xiao Cai is one year older than me, and now he is Fat Zhang's apprentice. Because of his similar age and similar tempers, we became a pair of good brothers who can talk to each other after a few days.

Master Lu Yu is tall and cold. He is taciturn in his daily life. He neither plays cards nor chats. Whenever he has time, he will lie on the earthen sofa and read it alone with an old book wrapped in a cover. The earthen sofa under his butt is said to have made it by himself. It is a very wide and long willow squid, wrapped with a layer of plastic woven bag, and it is lined with soft cotton. This earthen sofa is almost the master's special seat. Occasionally, someone will sit on it, and whenever he sees him coming back, he will stand up and give up his seat. Because I am his apprentice, I have become the only person who can sit on him on the same side, and I can't help but feel a little proud.

After lunch that day, the master said he wanted to go out to do something. Fatty Zhang shouted that people would play poker together. They played a small bet that led to wins and losses. They blamed each other for one or two cards, which made the people in the house feel upset. I saw Senior Brother Xiao Cai looking miserable, so I secretly winked him. The two pretended to go to the bathroom and sneaked out of the security class. As soon as they arrived at the workshop, they met a man with a leap-head, chasing a handsome driver who was walking over.

"Oh... my little guy, why didn't I see you all morning?" He turned his head around the slim waist of the wheelbarrow with a look of obscene look.

"What are you doing? Being a hooligan." The woman pretended to be shy and turned her side and hit the man in the arm.

"Did you think of fucking brother last night?" He just stretched out his head and wanted to kiss the woman's face.

"Hate." The woman separated his head and the two walked over with a smirk.

Senior Brother Xiao Cai twisted his neck and kept chasing the backs of the two: "I'm trying to get in the car, I'm tired of protecting my safety, I'm just a sloppy man and use electricity."

"What did you say?" I didn't understand for a moment.

"What does it mean?" Senior Brother Cai pointed to the side-parted head and said with envy, "Look at how awesome the electricians are. They are packed with an electrician bag behind their butts, and they are so popular in the factory. In our cotton mill, the hardest driving blockers are the most tiring, the most relaxed thing for female workers is the workshop statistics, and the most comfortable thing for male workers is the electrician."

"Why didn't you ask to be an electrician at the beginning?" I suddenly realized that my father's status in the yarn mill was not only because he was Secretary Cui's master, but also because he was doing the most awesome job.

"Who do you think that is the one who can do it just as you want?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai glanced at me, with helplessness on his narrow face. "Those who can do these good jobs are either the children and relatives of regional and county cadres, or people with various tough relationships and backstage."

"You are from the city and are not from the countryside to take over, why can't you do it?" I asked in confusion.

"I retired from the county flower factory. It was a large collective enterprise. I should have gone there when I took over the trip. Now I can go to the state-owned enterprise of the yarn mill, but I have to spend money to complete it. My whole family is in the city, but no relative and friend with authority is good enough to come here to do preservation. If you want to do an electrician, you really need to go to the sky - an impossible thing." Senior Brother Xiao Cai sighed dimly.

Senior Brother Xiao Cai's sigh made me understand a truth, and the people in the city are divided into different levels.

The two of us wandered around the workshop, which attracted the inquiry attention of the blockers from time to time. Because we had just arrived and were on Changbai shift again, many blockers from four shifts and three operations had never seen us. In the environment of the yin and yang in the spinning mill, any sudden appearance of a young man will arouse enough curiosity and attention from women.

I thought about Ye Hong, who couldn't let go of her heart. Could it be that she is like the fox fairy in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and she suddenly passed away after meeting her. This mystery was pressed in my heart, making me feel a little uncomfortable.

"I... have a cousin from far away in our factory. The two families have not been in contact for many years. I want to find her this time and have some help from each other in the future." I spoke tentatively.

"There are thousands of people in our factory, different workshops, different types of jobs, and different times. If the shifts are staggered, it is common not to meet for several years. There is nothing strange about it. What is your cousin's name? Your father has been in the factory for decades, so why didn't he contact her?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai looked at me in confusion after hearing my words.

"I am a relative of my grandfather's family. My father and my uncle have a bad relationship, so he has never had this relationship. I don't know what her surname is. I only know that her name is two words, what is it called red?" I lie, and my face couldn't help but feel a sense of heat.

"If you don't have a specific name, it's not easy to find. Why don't you go to the administrative department to ask? There is a list of all the people in the factory there." Senior Brother Xiao Cai kindly gave me an idea.

"The Chief Qin of the Administrative Department is not easy to talk to. I guess one of us a little worker will not check it out for us." I shook my head in a pretentious manner.

"That's right, that Qin's big belly is the most unrestrained thing. When I entered the factory, I invited him to drink twice and gave him two peony cigarettes." Senior Brother Xiao Cai took my words and said with anger.

After hearing the complaints of Senior Brother Xiao Cai, I remembered my father's two large front doors, which should be considered relatively cheap. Senior Brother Xiao Cai was confused and thought I was really looking for a distant cousin. I was afraid that he would laugh at me, and I didn't want to ask directly. So I followed him to the toilet, peeing dejectedly, and then returned to the security class in disappointment.

It was working time in the afternoon. When Squad Leader Xu came in, Fatty Zhang and his friends had not finished playing cards. He might have won the money today, and his face was red and kept shouting.

"Everyone hurry up and finish the morning work, there will be new tasks tomorrow." Squad leader Xu glanced at Fatty Zhang and had to raise his voice to overwhelm his voice.

"Why are there so many things going on this month?" Fatty Zhang had to throw down the cards in his hand and put a handful of banknotes in front of his face into his work clothes pocket.

"As soon as you work every day, you will think it's too much. If you get bonuses at the end of the month, you will think it's too little that time." Squad leader Xu snorted to the sky and choked him in anger.

Everyone took the tools and went out one after another. When Squad Leader Xu saw me standing there alone in a daze, he asked me where the master was going? I said he didn't say anything when he left at noon. Master Xu didn't say anything. Seeing that Master Huang had not gone out yet, he shouted casually: "Old Huang, Lu Yu has nothing to do and hasn't come back. You can take Wu Ping first in the afternoon."

Old Master Huang responded and asked me to follow him. A bunch of Mao Xiaoli who had just arrived in front of the door stopped and turned his face to complain to Squad Leader Xu, "This Lu Yu will leave if he doesn't ask for leave. The bonus should be deducted at the end of the month. You can't spoil him all day long."

"How do you know he didn't ask for leave? His leave was specially approved by the workshop. Director Tong has told me that you are not the top squad leader, so there is no need to tell you." Squad Leader Xu said angrily. This twig is because his uncle is the director of the factory office and does not take anyone seriously. It is not very difficult to deal with Squad Leader Xu.

Xiao Li hit a nail in the mouth of Squad Leader Xu, and saw me following Master Huang, deliberately rubbing a piece of dirty tablecloth in his hand on my new work clothes.

"What are you doing?" I looked at the black oil on my sleeves and shouted regardless.

"What am I doing? You accidentally rubbed it yourself, can you blame me?" Xiao Li saw that he got angry with me, and the black hair on his cheek moved pridefully.

"Don't bully these apprentices all the time." Old Master Huang witnessed everything and accused Xiao Li of dissatisfaction.

"He is so awesome, who dares to bully him?" Xiao Li struggled his neck and shouted at me with a disobedient look on his face.

"Okay, okay, go and work quickly." Squad leader Xu urged him in a hurry to calm down.

"Let's go, don't pay attention to him." Old Master Huang glared at Xiao Li and pulled me out of the door.

"You guy is still at a loss, don't think Lu Yu can protect you." Xiao Li refused to give in and continued to clamor behind me.

When Xiao Li made a fuss like this, I kept getting angry when I was working in the afternoon. When Master Huang saw me angry, he advised me on the side: "Your master and Xiao Li have had a holiday. Xiao Li once suffered from your master's losses, so he would vent his anger on you for no reason. It's a bit too much, but you should also understand."

"Has he suffered the loss of the master?" I felt excited when I heard someone say this for the first time.

Old Master Huang looked at me and told me while working: "His master is an educated youth from the region. Later, he was specially recruited into our factory through connections. When Lu Yu first came to the preservation class, a tuft of Mao Xiaoli wanted to make trouble for him. He didn't expect that your master could fist and kick, so he took off Xiao Li's elbow ring. In front of everyone, Xiao Li called her mother in pain. Your master stared at him so fiercely that he didn't let people get close. In the end, Fatty Zhang called Squad Leader Xu, and persuaded him left and right before he was considered to be over. After that, Xiao Li hated him so much that he was helpless and he never dared to provoke him again."

"My master is so amazing. No wonder so many people want to introduce him to a partner?" I understood why Xiao Li always asked me for trouble. I couldn't help but feel happy and sighed sincerely.

"It's not because he can punch and kick a friend to Lu Yu." Old Master Huang raised his face and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"What's the point?" I looked at the old Master Huang and asked in confusion.

"Do you see if the master is not very sociable? You can see that, because he is different from us, is this... you will know in the future." Master Huang said this and suddenly remembered something, "Oh... it's strange. Lao Xu arranged for Lu Yu to take his apprentice before, but he didn't want to take him no matter what. This time, he didn't know what was going on. Before Lao Xu said a few words, he agreed to take you. It's really a bit confused."

Although I couldn't understand why the master was willing to choose me as his apprentice, I felt a little happy after hearing what Old Master Huang said.
