From the morning, the sky became gloomy, and a storm that had been waiting for many days seemed to be coming slowly from the Yimeng Mountains in southern Shandong.

The weather was stuffy last night, and I had something to do, so I didn’t sleep well. When I woke up early in the morning, I couldn’t sleep anymore. I thought that when I came back at night, there was only one master on duty. If Captain Xia found that I was no longer there after work today, he might have any thoughts, so I forced myself to get up.

When I went out dizzyly, I called out "Sister Hong" a few times in front of the building, and the upstairs was still silent. It seemed that Yin Hong had not returned overnight. Where did she go? While thinking, I took out half a pack of cigarettes from my pocket. Since I helped the Zhao family last time, Master Liu has often taken me out for some private work, mostly in powerhouses. Every time I finished my work, the master would always give us some packs of cigarettes after greetings. At first, I didn't know what to do, but it was a pity to throw it away. I didn't want to give it away for nothing, so I secretly learned to smoke, and gradually became addicted.

Because it was still early, the heat melted a little at this time, and people were sleeping in their sweet sleep. I left the living area and crossed the road, I threw away half of the cigarette butts left, smoked with an empty stomach, and was bitter in my mouth. The factory area was strictly prohibited from smoking. The machine was running all night and was so monotonous and tired that I stepped into the workshop. When I stepped into the workshop, I saw the clerk document in the office posted a notice on the blackboard. He always came early in the morning and poured tea for the director's table. It was not easy to think about it.

The follower saw me, glanced at me from a distance, then turned around and went to the stairs. What was this guy doing in the morning? I walked forward with a little curiousness. A wet notice on the blackboard attracted my attention.

"Opening"

Yin Hong, female, is currently a former statistician of Class B in the spinning workshop. On the afternoon of the × month of this month, she left her post without taking leave for 10 days. In order to strictly enforce labor discipline and serve as a warning to others, she has decided to cancel her statistician work, transfer back to the original team, and deduct 20 yuan of salary that month.

At that moment, I seemed to be hit by five lightnings, and there was a flash of calcium carbide in front of me, and I was stunned. What's going on? When I woke up from my confusion, I immediately went up to the second floor in three steps and slammed open the door of the workshop office with a bang. The follower was holding a thermos to make tea for Director Tong. I was shocked by my sudden shock. My hands trembled. The blue and white porcelain cup fell to the ground with a "splash". Its body and head were separated and broken into several petals.

"You...what do you want to do? Why did you come in without knocking on the door?" The follower frowned and said with anger.

I ignored his anger, stepped forward and grabbed his neck, lifted his small body and said, "What's going on with the notice below?"

"Let go, let go quickly, what are you...what are you going to do?" The follower's legs were off the ground, kicking his legs, and widening his eyes in fear.

"You said, what's going on with the notice outside?" My eyes were covered with blood, and I growled like an angry cheetah.

"This...this...this...this is not known. It was arranged by the factory department's notice, Director Tong...this." The follower seemed afraid that I would eat him, and his lips kept trembling, and his words were not smooth.

"Where is Lu Yu? Where is my master? Didn't he come to ask for leave? How could he be absent from work for no reason?" I refused to give in and continued to follow the crowd.

"I... I really don't know. It was arranged by the above. If you put me down, I'm just a job." The follower's face turned pale and his teeth were trembling.

This guy really didn't know, so I threw him away and turned around and walked towards the door.

All day, I was like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious and angry. The master left with glory, but Yin Hong came back in a mess. What happened between them? I racked my brains, but I couldn't figure it out. When I was walking around the workshop with a bad face, everyone saw something was wrong. Everyone read the notice on the blackboard of the workshop, but no one joked with me, and no one asked about the master and Yin Hong. A few young ladies who liked to tease me also hid from me from a distance, letting me look for someone to vent like a trapped beast.

At 4 pm, at the time of shift handover, I walked out of the distribution room, and the radio in the workshop came cheerful music. The announcer of the factory department called "County General" again: "A notice is sent below. In order to celebrate the victory of the summer labor competition and further enrich the cultural life of all employees of the factory, this year's art performance will be held at the County People's Theater tomorrow night. At that time, the county party committee, county government and relevant units will be invited to attend. All workshop units should carefully organize cadres and staff to watch. We hope that all teams can sing the melody of the times with full revolutionary enthusiasm and dance the "Four Moderns" life. I wish the performance a complete success."

As the largest enterprise and institution in the region in the city and county, the annual art performance of the cotton mill is not just about the more than 3,000 employees of the factory. They have countless kinship and social relations with them, and almost involve every corner of the small town. At the same time, the cotton mill also includes most of the beauties in the county. Now it is concentrated for display, which makes all people full of unlimited expectations. It is said that the first performance 20 years ago was held in the cinema just completed in the living area. That night, the small night was held.

In the small living area, almost all the population of the small town was filled with people and horses, and the crowds were roaring everywhere. The walls that had not yet solidified in the cinema were almost squeezed down, and the shoes that had been stepped on were everywhere. A lot of clothes and pants that women had dried were lost. Several elderly and children were squeezed and injured. They were rescued in the hospital for several days before they were lucky enough to have no life. So since then, the annual performance has been transferred to the largest people's theater in the county town, and it has also become a carnival that the people of the entire small town dreamed of in that era of literary and artistic poverty.

Shortly after the announcement of the show, this exciting news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the small town. I took a bath in the bathroom and walked out of the factory with the flow of people, my ears were filled with people talking about tomorrow's performance.

The sky was still gloomy, the air pressure was very low, and the stuffy feeling was uncomfortable, which really corresponded to the old saying: "It's hard to rain for a long time." The red brick road in the woods became even more slippery because of the tide reflux. I walked absent-mindedly and almost slipped. Back to the small courtyard of the guesthouse, there was still no sound on the second floor. I sat dejectedly on the steps in front of the building. After a while, the iron door of the yard was knocked by someone.

"Who?" I stood up in anger and walked to the door and asked.

"Logistics Department." The visitor responded outside the door.

I opened the small iron door and two panting men appeared in front of me: "Is Yin Hong here?"

"What are you looking for her?" I felt a little shocked and stopped them at the door.

"It was Director Li of the factory department who asked us to come over and urged Yin Hong to move out quickly. She has lived here for so long without any rules, and everyone has a lot of opinions." The person from the logistics department said dissatisfied.

"Who said she lived in private? Didn't it be that Scar Eye Collar?" I felt depressed and couldn't help but argue.

"Old Cao had been suspended by the factory office because he ignored the factory's regulations and arranged personnel to come to the guesthouse. He wanted to clean up Yin Hong quickly." The person who came was full of words, which made people have nothing to say for a while.

"She hasn't been here for several days." I angrily put down my face.

Seeing that I was not easy to mess with, the two looked at each other for a moment: "Okay, we'll come again tomorrow."

"That's a big deal tomorrow. The whole factory will go to see the performance tomorrow. Who are you looking for? When I see her these two days, I will tell her." I was impatiently ready to close the door.

"Okay, please inform her when you see her. We will come again in two days." Because they were ordered, they were unwilling to make things boring, so they left in shame after saying that.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was no wind around, and it was as hot as a big steamer. My body, after taking a shower, was already wet with sweat again, and I couldn't help but feel even more upset.
