The night passed.
Zhou Maoxue and the other three people all had big dark circles under their eyes when Su Tian called them out.
I didn't sleep well that night, and the smell in the room was okay. It took me about ten minutes to get used to it.
But the self-reliance on the nobility of scholars and the constant snoring also made people upset.
This night can only be spent in double psychological and physical torture.
By the time he got to work on the second day, Zhou Maoxue had already started to feel regretful.
Fortunately, seeing Su Tian's enthusiasm as before, I felt better.
The four of them changed into work clothes and followed Su Tian to the factory again.
The factory had begun to get busy. Su Tian brought a few people to the area where they were going to work. There were many small and large pieces of workpieces produced on the ground.
Su Tian pulled over a man who looked to be in his thirties and looked a little silent, and introduced: "His name is Zhang Dali. You can just call him Lao Zhang, and you will learn from him later."
"Old Zhang, please teach me carefully. My boss is coming to inspect the factory today. Don't lose face with our team."
After the explanation, Su Tian immediately went to do his own work.
Lao Zhang didn't waste much time, picked up a caliper on the ground, and began to explain it to Zhou Maoxue and others.
Speaking of which, this work is very simple. It is to polish the burrs or non-standard parts of the components according to the standards.
With the intelligence of Zhou Maoxue and others, they naturally got started quickly.
Such work is considered retarded in their eyes.
Soon, several people quickly got into practical operations, and working with them were Lao Zhang and four other people.
After only working for half an hour, Zhou Maoxue and others noticed something was wrong.
Although this job is extremely simple and has no technical content, it is a huge test of physical strength and energy.
The noise in the factory and the boredom of repeated grinding all destroyed the spirit of the four candidates.
Everyone usually goes into the upper class society and does such dirty and hard work... far inferior to ordinary workers.
However, seeing Lao Zhang and others looking as normal as if nothing was wrong, Zhou Maoxue could only grit his teeth and hold on secretly.
It took three hours to do this.
Zhou Maoxue felt severe pain in his arms, waist and feet.
Although the movement range of the work was not large, he was already sweating profusely.
The other three lifts were not much better either. They were groaning and their movements were obviously much slower.
A crisp whistle sounded while he was doing it.
Zhou Maoxue suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped twice, and when he looked up, he saw it was Lao Zhang.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
Zhou Maoxue breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty.
But after all, although I felt like I didn’t have to work for a long time when I entered the factory, it wasn’t like that once I started working.
Especially since the work they did was relatively easy. He had already seen many people who were responsible for transporting and handling heavy objects.
If he had been the one to do it, he would have been tossed to pieces long ago.
If you work overtime and mistreat workers, then this place is truly a sweatshop!
Just as he was stunned, the workers in the factory who were still busy got up and ran out one by one.
"Hurry up and eat, don't be stunned!" Lao Zhang shouted and ran out of the factory.
Isn’t it said that there is an hour’s rest time at noon? The cafeteria is not small at all, how can we not get enough food?
Zhou Maoxue's eyes lit up and he felt like he had discovered something.
He immediately called to the other three candidates and ran towards the canteen at the same time.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, Zhou Maoxue was dumbfounded.
The cafeteria, which was originally quite large, is now packed with people.
The queue for meals was long.
Zhou Maoxue touched his nose, feeling a little regretful.
It seems there is a misunderstanding, there is nothing fishy, it is just crowded.
I didn’t eat in the morning and I’m hungry and tired now. It’s understandable that the workers are rushing to eat.
Since he didn't find anything special, he had no choice but to queue up behind the crowd.
Although I was hungry, I had no expectations for the food in the cafeteria.
What delicious food can be given in a broken factory? I just want some stews with clear soup and little water.
Thinking of this, he seemed to have no appetite.
After waiting in line for a long time, I finally got to the food window.
Looking at the dishes in the window.
Zhou Maoxue was stunned. It was not a meal with clear soup and water as he imagined, but basins of stir-fried vegetables.
It also looked oily, and there were quite a few slices of meat inside.
Is the food in the factory always so good?
Zhou Maoxue finished the meal with doubts in his mind.
At this moment, there were no seats in the canteen, so he took the other three people out to eat.
At the door of the canteen, there are still workers squatting on the ground in twos and threes, chatting and eating.
The four of them found a relatively private location, squatted on the ground like the workers, and started eating.
"Brother Zhou, do you think we are in the wrong place? Although the food is not exquisite and delicious, it seems that we don't have to choose."
"Yeah, even the long-term workers hired by my family can't afford this."
"Not only can't we eat, but we are no better than pigs and dogs compared to those in the factory! I feel like my family runs a black factory..."
"Brother Zhou, you are from the capital city. Are all the capital cities so rich? Ordinary people eat so much oil every day."
Zhou Maoxue had a headache as he listened to your words.
How the hell do I know what ordinary people eat on a daily basis? Never seen it again.
"It's only the first day, why are you so anxious? Why not build a good relationship with the workers in the same dormitory tonight and get some words out of them. After eating, go to the lounge and have a look. I think something is wrong there."
"Well, this is also a way."
The four of them finished their lunch in silence, which only took about ten minutes.
Returning the bowls and chopsticks to the canteen, Zhou Maoxue took the lead to the lounge.
There is no one in front of the lounge, so it is quite secluded.
Zhou Maoxue pushed open the door of the lounge and saw two rows of bookshelves and a pile of newspapers in the room.
The others are some tables, chairs and benches.
The brothers entered the house and began to look through the books on the bookshelf.
"These are all idle books. They are things to play with and lose one's ambition. They seem to be of no use."
"No, these are all textbooks from Eastern Suburbs University."
Zhou Maoxue walked to the pile of newspapers, took out a few and looked at the dates.
These are old newspapers....nothing gained.
"Well, it seems like there's nothing useful. Why don't we all take a rest here? We have to work in the afternoon."
Zhou Maoxue dropped the newspaper, took a book from the bookshelf, and started reading.
Dozens of minutes have passed since then, and it's almost time to start work.
Zhou Maoxue thought for a while, took two books from the bookshelf and stuffed them into his arms.
It seems that life in the factory is quite monotonous, and no one reads the books in the lounge. Why not go back and read those few books at night as a pastime.
Returning to the factory again, Zhou Maoxue and others continued busy with their previous work.
Just like the morning's work, it was monotonous and tiring.
Except for the one time my boss came, a rich man with a naive appearance.
He looked like he was smiling at everyone, and he didn't say much about the new workers when he saw them. He just made a brief inspection and left directly.
Zhou Maoxue looked at him several times and didn't see anything different from ordinary people, so he gave up the observation.
It wasn’t until five o’clock in the afternoon that the whistle blew again.
The four candidates dragged their extremely tired bodies and returned to the dormitory after devouring food in the cafeteria...
