Chapter 62

Uncle said, "Ruoyu, you see that your parents died early. In fact, there was an accident at work, so they didn't get much compensation. They were spent a few years. Then a family like us really don't have the ability to support you in high school or university again. We have no ability. But we can't delay you. In fact, studying is useless now. College students are not as profitable as workers. Many unemployed people cannot find jobs. It's safer to learn a technology. We must be for your own benefit. There are many people in the town working in a factory in Xiangcheng. I heard that it was run by fellow villagers in our county. You can go with them the next month. I heard that there are three to four thousand a month. When the time comes, remember to send it home and don't use it! We save it for you."

Liu Ruoyu was silent.

Uncle and aunt exchanged glances, and the aunt said, "You child, you don't care about family affection at all, and you don't usually have affection with us. Am I the same as your mother? We raised you! Will you still harm you? If you miss this opportunity, you will never be there! You must go there and work hard and make a future."

Liu Ruoyu's face turned red: "But I am only fifteen years old!"

The uncle said, "That's okay. It turns out that you are worried about this. At that time, just say that you are older. You are all acquaintances and can make a living. The money may be hundreds of dollars less than others. That's not bad. If we raise you so old, you should make money to repay us! The most important thing for a person is to remember to be grateful. If he is not grateful, he is a wealthy wolf, tiger and leopard, and has no conscience!"

"Go and go!" Liu Ruoyu put down the cup with a "bang", got up and walked into his room, and slammed the door.

Uncle and aunt looked at it, cursed and said a few words, but ignored it.

A few days later, Liu Ruoyu took a backpack and left with several young men in the town. When he left, his uncle didn't know that he had gone, and his aunt was playing cards at the neighbor's house. Liu Ruoyu went to say hello to her, and she smiled happily at the card table: "Oh, our Ruoyu is going out to make money, and the journey is smooth." The man did not get up.

The mother-in-law and mother next to him were also smiling. Liu Ruoyu felt that they looked at her eyes and smiled, but they all showed pity and sarcasm, as if saying: Such a young child is also sent to work. He is cruel and the child is pitiful.

Liu Ruoyu turned around and left.

His junior high school graduation examination scores were among the top 20 in the county and ranked first in the town.

At first, Liu Ruoyu had a longing for a new life in the factory. In any case, he left the village and town and the cold house. He could make money by himself and read a lot of books. The trapped boy was a little anxious about growing up. He was no exception.

But within a few days, the freshness brought to him by the factory workshop, which covers a vast area, disappeared completely. He realized that the environment he lived in was actually no different from before. The remote urban-rural fringe area lived in towns and was surrounded by workers and villagers. He originally yearned for Xiangcheng, the capital of Hunan Province. He heard that there were very good schools and hospitals there, and many celebrities, but Chu had talented people, and he had longed for it.

So after paying his first month's salary, he bought himself a cell phone, then took the bus to the city, and walked around for a whole day before returning. Even though he was alone and had never said a word to anyone, the dark country boy was very happy.

The first month of money to call my uncle and aunt was reduced to the mobile phone fee. They were not very happy on the phone, so Liu Ruoyu made an excuse to go to work without saying a few words and hung up the phone.

Next month, he doesn't plan to pay all his salary as they wish. The money will only get less and less. He has calculated the living expenses he has spent over the years. He plans to be enough, so he will never give them money again.

He was finally free.

But the boy gradually realized that life is like climbing a mountain. You have tried your best to climb to the top, withstood the darkness, and withstood the wind and rain. But you see another mountain waiting for you.

You will never reach the flat road.

At first he didn't realize how different he was from those adult workers. Occasionally, there were a few workers in the factory who looked very young, and everyone was tacit and didn't meddle in other people's business. On the first day he walked into the dormitory, the three of them were stunned when they saw him. Maybe not only because of their age, but also because they were very dissatisfied with his uncle, wearing old middle-aged T-shirts and the woven bags in his hand. Xu Jiayuan smiled and said, "Which baby is this from the mountain? Did you go wrong?"

The two people next to him laughed. Liu Ruoyu has never been an eloquent and flexible person. He just silently put the woven bag on the edge of the bed, his face turned red.

Perhaps it was this first encounter that established an unfair position between him and his roommates, especially between him and Xu Jiayuan.

Gradually, everyone discovered that this boy didn't talk much and didn't know how to argue and fought. He just did things silently: clean the dormitory, pick up express delivery for everyone, and let him go without saying a word. This kind of obedience made Xu Jiayuan proud; but he still felt that this kid might not be really tamed. Besides, how old is Liu Ruoyu? What happened to the adults calling the child around? Isn't this a matter of course?

Just like inertia, everyone also enjoys the feeling of being superior, and their attitude towards Liu Ruoyu is becoming more and more casual and bad.

"Hey, go and wash my clothes for me."

"Go and buy me a pack of cigarettes."

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll take my time to replace me."

"Damn it's only ten o'clock, why do you open the curtains and read books? Don't sleep, close it!"

"Why did you go out to work after you were less than 18 years old? I see that your family is not very good to you, or you are a kid who has done something, don't study hard, and sent to work? Most of them are like this. What can the country people cause? What can you cause? Hum?"

...

Liu Ruoyu had thought about rejecting. But once some things started, everyone seemed to be addicted, he was not allowed to refuse. There were three of them, all taller than others, and had a deeper qualification in the factory. They also understood more and had more friends. When he said something he didn't want to, they used their eyes, ridicule, and even body language to tell him that he was not worthy of rejecting.

"Can you be obedient? You have nothing to do anyway, why don't you help?"

"What comes from the countryside is stupid. You are not even a grown-up. Who cares about you except us?"

Xu Jiayuan was the coldest one. He looked at him and said, "Go. I really have to wait for me to reveal that you are a child laborer and have been kicked out of the factory. Is it good to have some self-knowledge?"

Sometimes I also do it.

Sometimes Xu Jiayuan touched his feet, patted his head, pushed him, and kicked him.
