Chapter 9 Chapter nine

The women agreed to discuss the farewell party on the 9th.Yang Xiaoli called in advance to inform her that after get off work, those in the 411 dormitory had three rules, no showering, no returning to the phone.Luo Yueli and Huang Caixia asked for leave and didn't work overtime, and they were about to leave their jobs. The supervisors turned a blind eye and acquiesced.Only Lan Hong was trembling when she left the factory, because the supervisor told her to work overtime to count her attendance.She wanted to say that she would go after working overtime.Luo Yueli covered her mouth, what did she want to say, working overtime?Lan Hong said, yes, the work is not finished, it's annoying.What are you afraid of? Xiaoli is the assistant to the general manager. If the supervisor punishes you, you can push it to her.

They counted the playgrounds around them on their fingers, the wide lawn next to the town sign, the disco in the industrial area Ye Rose, the Meimei Karaoke shop downstairs, Baoxin Park at the end of Tiyu Road, the town center park, Baoxin migrant workers Song and dance hall, Jubao cinema, Jubao skating rink... The four of them had four opinions. Luo Yueli said to go to Yemeimei because it was lively, the dancing was enjoyable, and the sound effect was good.Yang Xiaoli said that she went to Baoxin Park because it was romantic, and she could chat and play games.Huang Caixia raised her hand to support Luo Yueli, deliberately strengthening her Henan accent, and also said to go to Yemeigui, it's cold outside, I don't want to be an open-air duck.Lan Hong said to go to Baoxin Migrant Dance Hall, the reason is that there can be both dancing and karaoke, which is economical and affordable.One sentence from you, one sentence from me, if there is no dispute, let's draw lots.Lan Hong caught it, and the four women lay down in a pile, counting down, one, two, three, and opened the sign: Baoxin Migrant Dance Hall.

The private room over there is 50 yuan a night, the drinks are not expensive, you can sing and dance, Luo Yueli is like a treasure. They agreed to leave at 7:30, arrive at 7:45, and deliver a speech at 8:00.Free karaoke at 8:30, reception at 9:00, disco at 10:00, chorus with friends at 11:10, farewell party at 11:10.Yang Xiaoli arranged for a double-cab pick-up from the company. The driver Xiaokang said that he had time to pick it up, and it would depend on the time to return to the factory.Just, who pays the bill? Thanks to the sisters for their care these days, Huang Caixia and I will host this gathering, Luo Yueli said.

Don't fight over the money, Lan Hong and I will treat you to a farewell party, Yang Xiaoli said. You can arrange it however you want, I have no objection, Lan Hong is eating melon seeds, it doesn't matter, her heart is pounding. How about it, AA system, 50 yuan per person, Luo Yueli said, it was decided like this. It was unanimously approved. They rummaged through the boxes, emptied the closets, put on make-up, and put on clothes. The driver, Xiaokang, was waiting downstairs.The migrant dance hall is located in the center of Jubao Street, with flashing neon lights and melodious music, but there are few people there.It was still early, and the waiter led them into the private room, which was not bad, with a sofa for three, a few footstools, quite spacious, a 25-inch color TV, and a crystal lamp, spinning like a goddess.

50 yuan, value.This room is ours tonight, and the women rush forward. Turning over the music score, tuning the sound, shouting, shouting, this is their specialty.The karaoke room then began to shake. One sings, one harmonizes, one dances, and one accompanies. Luo Yueli's voice is a little hoarse, but she is good at dancing. She can do everything in cha-cha, rumba, and tango. Huang Caixia's singing is really mediocre, she yells the loudest, but she holds the microphone and refuses to let it go. She can dance and her footwork is mediocre, but her demeanor is all-round, and she is indeed intoxicating.

Lan Hong can hum a few words, and can only sing old songs such as "The Moon of the Fifteenth". She is the youngest, but she can't find a sense of fashion in her body. Learning after Luo Yueli, twisting and twisting, she has a good figure, her waist is stiff, and she twists and turns, which is really reluctant. Yang Xiaoli has a thicker mezzo-soprano talent, and she sings Anita Mui's "Love You Thousands of Times in My Life", with a full-bodied mood, a deep voice, and a mature beauty of a woman. When there are no men, the women are also crazy about drinking. They say buddy on the left and buddy on the right.Luo Yueli stumbled with her left foot and her right foot, a bit like a disco dancer, and kept yelling cheers.After Lan Hong drank two glasses, she slumped on the sofa, rubbed her temples, and muttered to herself that she was drunk, drunk.Huang Caixia was still singing, while Yang Xiaoli's face was not blushing and her heart was not beating. She twisted her waist and danced to Cha Cha.From time to time, cheers, screams of cheers, and the sound of beating and beating can be heard in the room.

Luo Yueli swayed for a while, leaning against Lan Hong, leaning on the sofa, holding the microphone in one hand, and the wine glass in the other. She couldn't tell the difference between the wine glass and the microphone.Huang Caixia was drunk, stumbling around, took Lan Hong's hand, and sang her sister to go west.After clinking glasses, whoever is afraid of whom, drink as much as you drink, and sing as you sing.The private room is lively, and there is always something missing, such as the lack of men, the crazier the women dance, the crazier the beauty, the more lonely the feeling.

The dance hall began to dance disco, and a strong rhythm came from it, shaking the door panel and every restless heart. The first one who couldn't hold back the temptation was Huang Caixia, she poked her head out first, then turned her buttocks onto the dance floor. Luo Yueli swung her skirt, pushed Lan Hong up, and followed her out. Yang Xiaoli took the microphone and remote control by herself, and sang "Like Rain, Like Fog, and Like Wind" without any audience, and she devoted herself fully. Lan Hong never entered the dance floor, and after a while, she came back angrily.A man with a face full of alcohol followed closely.The man said in an authentic Cantonese accent, did I make a mistake? My clothes were all dirty, and I just ran back like this, did I make a mistake!

The man smelled of alcohol and pointed at the blue-red bridge of the nose.It seems that the man is a little drunk.Lan Hong hid behind Yang Xiaoli, just in time Luo Yueli staggered to catch up with this scene, flicked her hands to avoid the man's hand, and pointed at the man's nose instead, are you still a man when you bully a girl? I... I, I didn't come to fight, I just want justice, don't be fierce, the man put his hands on his waist. justice?What is fair?Didn't it just wet a piece of clothing, is it worthy of such a fierce girl?Your clothes are very valuable, aren't they?With such a little thing, do you still look like a man?Say, do you still look like a man?Luo Yueli grabbed the man's collar and asked endlessly.

Don't think you are a woman, don't think you are beautiful, apologies, won't you? Yang Xiaoli said, Lan Hong, I have nothing to lose by apologizing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lan Hong said it twice earnestly, lowering her eyebrows, like a sinner. It’s okay, it’s okay, the man immediately responded, sorry to bother you, my surname is Ye, my name is Nanlin, I sing a song for everyone to express my apology. The man stepped on the beat, holding a microphone, and sang "Kiss Goodbye" in a decent manner. With a steady baritone voice and a passionate expression, he sang really well, and the women followed suit.

Really not acquainted with each other, this typical Cantonese walked into Lan Hong's life in this way.Ye Nanlin has a square face and is thin. He wears sneakers and casual clothes, typical Cantonese attire. His Mandarin is not standard, but his voice is thick, loud and very magnetic.The women beat him involuntarily.Lan Hong walked around Yang Xiaoli's shoulders, watching the man in front of her secretly. This man is quite interesting, not like a fault-finding person, he is very educated, no matter how you look at it, he is pleasing to the eye.The women clamored for another song, and the men refused to refuse. They sang the Cantonese song "Pian Piece of Maple Leaf Red" again, which was emotional and showed Cantonese's unique sense of superiority from time to time.After singing, they continued to applaud, coax, and shout, and play another song.His voice shook Lan Hong, and there was a strange feeling wandering in her heart.She thought, if he sang again, she would hate this kind of man, if he stopped singing, she would like this kind of man, just right, moderately grasped, without losing his demeanor.Ye Nanlin really stopped singing, the applause continued, but the singing stopped, and the blue and red palms were delayed by two beats.Lan Hong covered her mouth, half smile half smile, half startled, until the man turned and left. The man was very straightforward and didn't look back, or left a phone number or something, maybe it's just an eternal memory from now on, giving women unlimited room for imagination. They were guessing what kind of medicine this man sold in the gourd. Could it be that they really wanted to say sorry?Only Lan Hong was surprised in her heart, why she was the one who drew the lottery, why she knocked over his wine glass instead of them, is this a wonderful fate?She asked herself a little vaguely, ignorantly, stupidly on the spot. Lan Hong, what are you thinking, sing. Sing, sing: Friends walk together for life, those days are no more... Accompanying sounds sounded, Lan Hong hugged Huang Caixia, Yang Xiaoli hugged Luo Yueli, happy, happy: Friends walk together for a lifetime, those days are no longer there, a love for a lifetime... Singing and singing, women hug tightly, hug tightly again , pinching each other with slender fingers, starting from tomorrow, there are two people in room 411 who divide their things, go their separate ways, and each find their own destination. Where will tomorrow be? Another place, maybe Farewell.The stability that women long for in their bones is just a fairy tale during the working years.The workers are so helpless and rogue, how to live, how to live, no one can predict.Their hearts are full of grievances and unstable emotions. Once they are touched, one comforts the other. The comforted person does not cry. The comforted person cries first, and one infects the other. I cry about my friends, my part-time job, and my future because of the separation of close friends and my own future.Lan Hong was inseparable, like a child, choking; Luo Yueli swallowed and cried, tears streaming down her face; Yang Xiaoli burst into tears; Huang Caixia cried fragmentarily. The song stopped, and it took a long time for the crying to stop. Why are you crying? Yes, why are you crying? You, you, and you!They wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and couldn't find a reason to cry in a blink of an eye.Dongguan does not believe in tears, sisters, we should expect a better tomorrow. Come, sing tomorrow will be better! Wipe away the tears, hold hands, and the laughter came back to the face. Come, tomorrow will be better! !Another happy, passionate hug. The music stopped abruptly, and the women dispersed in a rush. They passed the ballroom, and the man named Ye Nanlin was still sitting there, drinking alone, waving hello to them. The four women supported each other, singing all the way, all the way crazy. A wonderful night became the best memory in their working life. The chattering women, laughing at that man really treats us as friends, they are really thick-skinned, they are proud and victorious.They talked about their future plans.Huang Caixia made up her mind to go back to get married this time, and she stayed with her husband every day, eating three meals a day, just eating oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.She said she was tired of drifting and felt like she was having a panic attack.After returning to Nanyang, she didn't plan to come out, and started some small business with Zheng Yong in the town, and became a housewife with peace of mind.Yang Xiaoli laughed that she was so tall, but she was a small woman.A woman is tall, but her heart needs to be loved. She is proud, as long as she lives easily, she doesn't seek vigor and vitality.Luo Yueli said that this is also good, to avoid the pain of wandering and wandering, it is true to be ordinary, and it is no problem to be a little woman, I can't even think about it.Lan Hong is full of confidence in her future, she looks down on that man Huang Caixia, and smiles, Axia, she will have a baby next year.Luo Yueli pursed her lips, and said again, Ah Xia is really cute, look at Ma Dongdong and Zheng Yong, it's like singing an opera. Huang Caixia booked a train ticket at eight o'clock the next night. The three people in room 411, as well as a few fellow villagers from Henan, went downstairs to see them off together. On the way in front of the dormitory, the group met Ma Dongdong.The setting sun shone gently on Ma Dongdong's body. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, gray tie, brightly dressed, and stared at them with piercing eyes.Everyone felt that the sun was more dazzling and had to squint their eyes, but they couldn't hide the panic from their hearts.Huang Caixia lowered her eyelids and continued to hide her guilty conscience with fake laughter and loud chatter.Zheng Yong switched to Huang Caixia's right, pretending to be nonchalant, but his voice obviously became indistinct.Everyone guessed in their hearts whether Ma Dongdong came to see him off or—how did he know when Huang Caixia would go back?Definitely a gripping mystery.Now, no one is in the mood to guess the answer. What kind of expression and what kind of language are each thinking about, which is appropriate?This is not what they are most concerned about. What they are most concerned about is how Ma Dongdong, Huang Caixia and Zheng Yong will face each other.Perhaps, the appearance of Ma Dongdong itself is a kind of mistake and embarrassment; perhaps there will be a fight between Ma Dongdong and Zheng Yong? It's really determined, Luo Yueli is the most angry. Lan Hong's expression didn't change much, and she didn't plan to say anything, she just wanted to watch this wonderful performance. Yang Xiaoli was surprised and didn't intend to say anything. Zheng Yong's complexion became more and more ugly as he got closer. They continued to chat about when they would get home and how to get in the car. Huang Caixia answered carelessly. Anyway, it feels good to be home. Ten meters, five meters, the voice of talking disappeared, even Huang Caixia's loud voice was suddenly closed and there was no wind. Ma Dongdong suddenly lay across the middle of the road, charging straight like a jealous bull.The crowd panicked, and the bull rushed over with a threatening momentum.Will it be a fight with Zheng Yong? Everyone guesses. Ma Dongdong rushed in front of him and stopped.The crowd also stopped. Unexpectedly, Luo Yueli took a step forward, stopped Ma Dongdong head-on, and said in a low voice, what are you going to do? For Ma Dongdong, this was also an absolute accident. The people who stopped her were not Huang Caixia and Zheng Yong. If it was Zheng Yong, this fight was inevitable. If it was Huang Caixia, alas, unfortunately it was not. Say something to her. Why bother?It's useless, you're useless. He couldn't help but grab Luo Yueli's left shoulder and push it away. Ma Dongdong stood in front of Huang Caixia, scanning her face back and forth, do you really like him?Willing to marry him?Ma Dongdong's mouth was trembling, his heart was beating faster, and his hands were clenched into fists. Nonsense, if you don't like it, why would you marry him.Huang Caixia seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and there was no room for her answer. You lie to me, you lie to yourself, Ma Dongdong looked straight into her eyes, trying to get a trace of the answer he wanted from there, but he didn't find it. Don't be like this, don't interfere with a woman's ordinary life, I don't want to be vigorous, if you love me, you should support me, right? Yes, that's right.Ma Dongdong's lips twisted again, and he couldn't find the right words anymore. Okay, I support you, don't regret it, hum, Ma Dongdong grabbed her shoulder and shook her twice, turned around and left with a clang. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a false alarm, that's all, it's too boring.Ma Dongdong's silent departure brought the group of people back to calm quickly. They had nothing to say, and continued towards the national highway, sending Huang Caixia and Zheng Yong to a minibus bound for Guangzhou. Today's play could have been more exciting, Yang Xiaoli asked Luo Yueli, Ali, why are you stopping Ma Dongdong, if you don't stop, maybe the two of them will fight out of anger, how enjoyable it is. That's right, it was a good show, and Yueli ruined it, so Lan Hong also took pleasure in other's misfortune. Oops, put the blame on me, and if there is a fight, you will have a good show, really. At night, Luo Yueli cried secretly all night under the quilt. For some reason, she was just sad. Seeing Ma Dongdong's infatuated appearance, she felt inexplicably sad. Huang Caixia left Room 411. The new warehouse clerk, A Jie, is a married woman who rents a room with her husband. She rests in Room 411 at noon and does not sleep in the dormitory at night.That bed was actually vacant, although it was not related to her, and without Huang Caixia's trumpeting voice, the excitement was reduced by half, and the fun was reduced by a quarter. The dormitory lacked a voice and a lot of color. In addition, Luo Yueli was about to leave her job. Yang Xiaoli and Lan Hong were in a heavy mood and couldn't get up. Room 411 became extremely deserted.When the girls met together, it was no longer laughter and singing, but soft greetings, delicate concerns, and always in such a hurry. Luo Yueli cleaned up the things on the desk two days in advance.Play for three days after school and play for three days after school.This part-time job is similar, three days to play when you report to work, and three days to play when you quit your job.Back in the dormitory, I kept flipping through the calendar, counting down, and planning my luggage. It happened that the weather was sunny every day, and the sun was as lazy as a cat. What should be washed and dried.When I came to Guangdong, I only had a small backpack. When I came to Aihao, I only had a small suitcase. Now I have so much luggage that I can’t fit it all.Lan Hong suggested that she go to the small supermarket downstairs to buy a bigger box, which costs more than 120 yuan each.Luo Yueli was reluctant to spend this money, but after thinking about it, she had to pay two months' wages, more than 1,000 yuan, when she left the factory, so she asked Lan Hong to go downstairs together.This time Lan Hong still didn't want to go downstairs, saying that her feet were boring, so she insisted on asking Luo Yueli to buy soda.When going downstairs, every time I meet a colleague, I have to greet her. She hasn't left yet, and everyone seems reluctant to leave.In fact, when everyone sees others leaving their jobs, they can't help thinking of themselves. Maybe one day it will be their turn. Seeing others leave their jobs will either make them feel happy or suffer. For example, the captain of the security guard always has a straight face, and the staff called him cold-faced Yan Luo. The last time Luo Yueli didn't stand up when he checked in, he almost pulled him out of the team. Out of face, Luo Yueli thought he was going to take revenge. If she didn't take revenge these few days, she would have no chance. The strange thing was that the security captain went out of his way and took the initiative to say hello to her. This man really made her unbearable. Counting and counting the days of resignation.But the sky was drizzling and it was a bit cold.Yang Xiaoli didn't go back to the dormitory, she called and said that she went to accompany the general manager to discuss business and have dinner temporarily.Yang Xiaoli didn't come, but the security captain came and helped her carry her luggage with a smile.At this time, Luo Yueli was very moved. The previous festival was no longer embarrassing, but became very cute.At the door of the dormitory, Luo Xiangyang took an umbrella and came to pick up his sister in person. When she came a year ago, it was Luo Xiangyang who sent her.Luo Xiangyang took the luggage from the security captain's hand, feeling quite emotional, so let's go, anyway, working part-time is too hard and irritated, and the job is not worth it.Luo Xiangyang is most concerned about his sister's plans.Luo Yueli turned her mouth up, feeling unsure about work, but she was impatient with her brother's questioning, and complained that her brother treated her like a child. Okay, okay, when you grow up, you can handle your own affairs. I really don't have time to probe into your affairs. Luo Xiangyang is busy planning to open a restaurant these days. If you want to go to work, who will take care of it? Dad will take care of it. Dad will take care of what. Then who do you think will take care of it?Luo Xiangyang knew who his sister was going to talk about, so he deliberately teased her like this. I recommend one, can Ma Dongdong?Brother, you know, that's the one...
