...

late at night.

The sand and gravel on the ground were gently rolled up by the cold wind, driving the soil from under the branches and rolling onto the asphalt road where people wearing blue shirts came and went.

Hope the factory is around.

Everything was pitch black.

In this lonely night, only this factory is maintaining the dim incandescent light...

Workers like gears.

They were all numbly going in and out of the cafeteria door, which was open at this time.

I don’t know how many times I have eaten it.

You can imagine the taste of the dishes just by looking at them.

They put it into their belly one spoonful after another...

The good thing is.

Not far from the cafeteria.

There are several small vendors holding their own stalls.

There is a faded speaker hanging next to the cart, which plays their pre-recorded hawking sounds in a loop with a sound quality similar to that of a record.

"Fried rice, fried rice noodles, fried rice noodles..."

"Iced coconut juice, one dollar a cup! Iced coconut juice, one dollar a cup..."

"Selling watermelons, strawberries, pineapples..."

"..."

In addition to these stalls selling daily food.

Qianye also noticed that in the corner of the factory, there was a small shop that looked a little lonely.

The main items sold are snacks, drinks, and cigarettes.

It is different from the overcrowded situation in front of other stalls.

Even now it's break time from get off work.

This canteen still looked extremely lonely. There was no one in front of the stall at all. Only the bald boss who looked slightly in middle-aged crisis was sitting alone in his canteen, quietly reading the newspaper...

.

"The content of this script should be within the scope of activities of this factory."

"Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these vendors to directly get permission to set up stalls in the factory. At most, they can only set up stalls in front of the factory."

"That canteen owner most likely has some kind of story..."

Qianye and Xie Aishan were walking on the path to the canteen.

Also try to observe every place in the factory.

"Hey, what do you want to eat? Can I treat you to dinner?"

On the way.

Qianye turned his head to look at the freckled girl beside him and asked her.

"No, no need. I, I usually...eat in the cafeteria."

Xie Aishan always likes to lower his head.

Facing Chino’s problem.

She still refused with some stuttering.

It's not hard to see.

She is actually a very shy girl...

"Eat it in the cafeteria. You'll get tired of eating that kind of food every day. I'll treat you to...fried rice noodles, right?"

Think about it.

Qianye really couldn't find anything good to treat this girl to.

He looked around.

I only found the smell of fried rice noodles, which seemed to be more fragrant than other things.

There are also quite a few people eating fried rice noodles...

"It's really, really unnecessary."

Xie Aishan still wanted to refuse.

As a result, before she could say anything more, she felt a warm hand pushing her back behind her. She turned around and found that Qianye was already pushing her towards the stall.

.

"It's okay, don't be embarrassed, just treat it as a friend."

In the end, she couldn't resist Qianye and sat obediently at the small wooden table in front of the vendor.

Holding a pair of disposable chopsticks in her hand, she lowered her head and tapped the table constantly, as if she wanted to relieve the inexplicable embarrassment she felt deep in her heart...

"Boss, two bowls of fried rice noodles!"

"Okay! Young man, do you want to eat chili?"

"Do you like spicy food?" Qianye turned his head and asked Xie Aishan at the wooden table.

"Ah, just, just eat a little bit..." She didn't know what kind of mentality it was out of, but she nervously and quietly answered Qianye's words.

“One portion with less chili!”

After Qianye got the answer.

Then he raised his head and shouted to the boss who was holding a spatula in one hand and stirring the food.

"Okay! It's fourteen yuan in total, young man. Just throw the money into this box!"

This time the script story.

The cash carried in Qianye's dark green bag finally had some real use.

before entering this world.

He had already prepared a thousand yuan in petty cash for himself, just in case something happened where he needed money but he didn't have it...

After putting the change into the boss's box.

Qianye suddenly remembered.

It seems that I borrowed this money from Tang Ying and Yin Fu last time.

They haven't paid themselves back yet...

"Forget it, let's just think of it as a loss of money to eliminate disaster. I didn't think they could pay it back at first."

Throwing away the old memories that popped up in his mind, Qianye also leaned down and sat next to the wooden table, about one person away from Xie Aishan.

"By the way, how long have you been working in this factory?"

Taking advantage of the boss's break in cooking.

Qianye was going to get some information from Xie Aishan to improve his understanding of this factory.

"Da, probably, about two years... What, what's wrong?"

Xie Aishan naturally didn't know what Qianye's intentions were.

She just answered truthfully.

"That's it, it's nothing. I just feel like there's something I don't understand, so I want to ask you for advice." He said.

Qianye was preparing to get himself a glass of water by the stall.

But when he picked up the cup.

I found that the water was not clean enough. Even if I looked carefully, I could see small hair-like insects swimming in it...

He could only give up the idea of ​​drinking this free drinking water and took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack.

"Please, can I ask for advice?" Xie Aishan suddenly felt a little flattered after listening to Qianye's words.

She was just an ordinary employee in this factory.

What I do on weekdays are repetitive and boring tasks.

During these two years.

No one has ever asked her about such words...

"Yes, that's right. I just came here not long ago, so I'm confused about many things." Qianye replied firmly.
To be continued...
