Since the working group held a meeting of the entire factory and announced that the yarn mill would be contracted and operated, it caused a sensation inside and outside the factory. After all, this is the largest enterprise in the county and the place where many people and families settled. Of course, the biggest influence is the employees in the factory. The dark clouds of the Nanman smashing the "three irons" are still pressing on everyone's hearts. Now this so-called contracting makes people feel the crisis of survival. In the constant turmoil and the game between all parties, the specific contracting plan has not been released for a long time, just like the leather boot that has not landed, making people feel more panic and uneasy. Such suffering has come in a flash for several months, from the scorching heat to the late autumn, until the cold wind gradually rises, and another winter is coming.

In the evening, in the dark sky, the north wind was roaring with fallen leaves. I was mixed with the crowd of people who were rushing to get off work, and hurriedly walked towards the factory gate with my neck. I touched my shirt pocket again, which contained the salary I just received this afternoon, which was half less than last month. It seems that the "good" days for the working group to borrow wages will not be too long.

There was only a red left on the horizon, and the surrounding scenery had merged into chaos. The night school cram school I was going to be about to take the midterm exam again. For students of my level, I couldn't relax my homework. I was thinking about the review content. As soon as I walked out of the blue-gray gate of the cotton mill, I suddenly felt a little surprised outside the factory gate. Since the "critical crackdown" began in the whole country last year, the front of the cotton mill has been quiet for a few days. Could something be cleared today? I glanced inside with my head and found that it was a group of people who were bored to make a fuss around a "beggar". In recent years, I have been able to eat a lot in the countryside, and the beggars in winter are almost gone. How could such a "beggar" come to the gate of our cotton mill?

"Beggar" wore a scattered coat with flowers all over the body and muddy, and almost no color could be seen. Its beard was messy, and a shiny scar on its rugged cheeks looked particularly ugly. A bunch of hair, Xiao Li and two little guys from the electrician squad were teasing him. "Beggar" stood there with his hands in his sleeves, ignoring Xiao Li and others. His turbid eyes kept staring at the factory gate, spinning around every female worker entering and leaving.

"Fuck, this is still a 'flower fool'." Xiao Li seemed to see the clues, grabbed a small moped blocker who was passing by after get off work, and pushed the "beggar" hard, "I haven't seen a woman before? Come on, let's give you a real one!"

The little girl was grabbed by Xiao Li and just took over the factory. She was so scared that she lost her temper and screamed continuously. She finally broke free and ran away with tears in anger. I didn't know why, but I felt that "beggar" was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.

No matter how Xiao Li and the other two were lying around, the "beggar" always ignored him, looking calm and ignorant. Xiao Li saw that "beggar" really ignored him, and became a little angry. He secretly walked to "beggar" and suddenly grabbed "beggar"'s neck, thinking about throwing him to a big slump. However, "beggar" was very excited. He skillfully made a mistake and resolved Xiao Li's tricks, and even staggered Xiao Li with one stroke.

The crowd burst into laughter. Xiao Li couldn't steal a handful of rice and suddenly became a little angry. He grabbed the sleeve of "Beggar" and pulled off half of it with a squeak. "Beggar" saw that his clothes were torn, so he could not bear it anymore and limped to chase and beat Xiao Li.

Xiao Li skillfully circled around in front of others, attracting the attention of "beggar" and hinting at the two little electricians who were joking with him, letting them turn behind "beggar" and kick off his rigged shoes. "beggar" knew that he was physically disabled and was no match for these people when he ran, so he stopped with his black foot and stood on the cold concrete floor, panting heavily.

This bullying behavior was too much. The onlookers persuaded him dissatisfiedly. I couldn't stand it, so I thrust the bicycle behind the crowd, squeezed into the crowd and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.

When Xiao Li heard everyone accusing him, he felt very unhappy and was holding his breath. Before he could turn his face and see who it was, he shook my hand away and cursed casually, "xxxxx, what do you want to do?"

I was just trying to persuade him to stop making trouble, but in public, he cursed for no reason. The flames that were originally buried in my heart were ignited. I raised my feet and kicked Xiao Lijian's butt hard: "Go ahead, something ungrateful!"

My kick caught Xiao Li off guard, and he couldn't help but staggered several steps, and finally a dog snatched the shit and threw himself on the ground. There were cheers from the audience.

Xiao Li was embarrassed in front of everyone, and suddenly became angry and embarrassed. He sprained on the ground a few times, pointing at me and cursing without hesitation. I saw that he was thrown into a mess, and I felt a little unbearable, but the dirty words that followed immediately made me angry. I pulled out my self-defense iron rod from my sleeve, held it brightly and rushed over. Seeing that the situation was not good, several onlookers quickly came up and hugged me.

"Wu Ping, if you can't do this, you will die!" Old Master Huang, who was passing by after get off work, shouted loudly in my ear.

Amid the condemnation of people, two little electricians who followed Xiao Li to make a fuss disappeared. Xiao Li, who knew that he was inappropriate, looked at the shiny iron stick in my hand, jumped around with a few slight sluts. Under the comfort of everyone, he found a step and left in shame.

"Go away quickly, don't mess with them here." I kicked the "beggar" smelly cracked shoes to him. "beggar" raised his scarred face, there was a trace of strangeness in his eyes, and nodded gratefully.

The crowd of onlookers began to dissipate, and the blue veins on my forehead were still beating. Old Master Huang pushed my bicycle over and advised me to calm down and not to be as knowledgeable as Xiao Li. I thanked Old Master Huang. After this out of nothing, it seemed that I would be late for class tonight again.

I finished class from the night school in the county trade union, and then rode my bike back to Xizhangzhuang in the suburbs. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. I pushed my bicycle into the yard.
