Chunming's works

Frye is very satisfied with his work. Regular workers said the work was dirty and tiring, and it was not done by people, but Frye thought it was a piece of cake. 20 dollars a day, 600 dollars a month. The money is nothing to regular workers, and it is not enough for them to drink, but for Frye, it is not a small sum. The fertilizer and pesticides in the field, the cost of my son's education, the clothes on my daughter-in-law, and the walking between relatives all point to this money! In poor Frye's hometown, 0/00 miles away from/kloc, there is no place to earn this 600 yuan, even if you are full of inexhaustible energy.

This is a sewage treatment plant, and Frye's task is to take out the garbage. Sewage flows into the factory along the underground pipeline and enters a deep pool. At the beginning of the factory, the pool was full of clear tap water, which drowned two employees swimming in the water.

After the factory was put into production, the pool was replaced with smelly and dirty sewage. This pool is built in a huge pump house, and the pump house is equipped with a long-arm grille, which is fully automatic. The long arm is put into water regularly to pick up dirt and spread it in a large flat plate. Frye is responsible for pushing the soil into a field outside the factory.

Frye had to push more than twenty trips of garbage in his last shift, and all the garbage was put into a big pit in the field outside the factory. Frye has been filling it for more than half a year, but the pit is always full. It turns out that some farmers nearby often drive trucks to take away garbage. According to them, garbage is on the ground and crops grow strong. Frye often thinks that if there is a sewage treatment plant next to his home, the crops in the field will never grow again.

Next to the garbage truck, Frye likes to squat and squint at all kinds of dirt covered by snow. Frye likes playing with mud. Dogs, cats and chickens that go downstream after drowning are all his models. These dirty and smelly little things in the sewage become vivid and clean after Frye's hands are pinched.

Not far from Frye's garbage truck, there is a small duty room, in which there are always four or five big men (female workers are not in this dirty and tired position), which is very crowded. They are all regular workers, and their main job is to record water quantity, water temperature and water pressure every hour.

In addition, they must check the equipment from time to time, start and stop the equipment. This equipment is automatically controlled. As long as you turn the knob to the left or right, the equipment will start or stop. After receiving the phone call from the central control room, the regular workers leaned out of the window of the duty room and shouted at Frye: "Frye, stop the No.3 water inlet pump quickly!" "

When he first entered the factory, Frye, who likes smoking, was scolded by the chief of the security department. The section chief is a young woman in her thirties. She looks white and clean, but she speaks hard and cold: "No smoking! Offenders are fined one hundred! " Frye was startled. My mother, alas, how can city people spend so much money on fines? How much work can this 100 yuan do in my home? I dare not smoke if I die! Sometimes when the addiction comes up, Frye will pick up a piece of Hollyleaf from the roadside and chew it in his mouth. When the addiction went on, he spit out a mouthful of green. This method is really effective, Frye thought, just as effective as city people chewing candy to quit smoking.

Those regular employees always smoke in the duty room, which makes Frye very worried about them. What if a biogas digester leaks some biogas and the whole room explodes with a bang? 200 million (he once heard an employee say that it takes 200 million to build a factory)! Even if they can't blow it up, aren't they afraid of being caught by the head of the security department? !

Five regular workers often throw cigarette butts out of various windows. As soon as they saw them, Frye quickly swept them up and threw them into the garbage truck. Sweep around the duty room, often dozens of cigarette butts. When he is sweeping the floor with his head down, a regular worker may stick his head out of the window and shout to him, "Frye, what a tragedy! Pick up a cigarette butt and smoke it!" " Ha ha laugh ... "There was laughter in the room. Frye just smiled foolishly and said shyly, "No, no ..."

On one occasion, Frye had just finished cleaning up cigarette butts around the duty room when the head of the security department came. Frye felt glad, but the chief of the security department suddenly picked up a cigarette butt from the ground and asked sharply, "Who did it?" ! Frye regretted it. Alas, my eyesight is so poor. Why did I miss one? ! Doesn't this make people's regular workers unlucky? !

The section chief also asked with a cigarette butt: "Who is it? ! who is it? ! "Several regular workers crowded at the door of the duty room and said in unison," Not us! " The section chief said, "Did it come out of the ground by itself? ! "At this moment, a regular worker winked and said," Do you ask whether Frye did it? " The section chief's eyes immediately shifted to Frye.

At this moment, Frye is chewing Hollyleaf, and he is very worried about one of the regular workers. Suddenly, he found all his eyes staring at him. He cried in panic, "Not me, not me!" " But he swallowed his words, only the frequency of chewing Hollyleaf increased.

"Fortunately, do you smoke? ! "Security section chief's voice like thunder exploding in the ear. Frye was so scared that he shouted in despair, "Not me! I didn't smoke a cigarette! I am chewing Hollyleaf! " But I still didn't say anything. "Regular workers don't smoke, temporary workers smoke!" When he left, the head of the security office angrily left such a sentence. That month, Frye was detained for a whole hundred dollars!

When he first came, Frye used to take the director of the security department as a model, pinched a beautiful little clay figurine, and kept it in the locked drawer of the bedside table with his salary. But since this "smoking" incident, Frye felt that he was not very good-looking and looked a bit like a monster. Hum, I don't admit that I smoked it. Why should I be deducted? ? Thus, the beautiful clay figurine was turned into Lu hanging upside down.

On the night shift, regular workers will shout to Frye after sitting in the duty room for less than five minutes: "Frye, be careful, don't have an accident!" " "I shouted and went out. When you go out, wait until the sun rises high the next morning. Formal workers brush their teeth, wash their faces, put on a little "Dabao SOD honey", walk out of a fragrant wind and dress up. It's time for the night shift. This night shift, Frye will have to work part-time as a regular worker. He has to patrol, answer the phone and fill in the records.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the car will suddenly come in. This is the factory director leading several middle-level cadres to inspect their posts. Unable to find a formal job, the director seriously questioned Frye. Frye sometimes said that ordinary workers go to the toilet, and sometimes they go on patrol. The factory director sometimes seems to believe it, so he sends a middle-level person to remove the phone and take it away (for fear that Frye will leak the news to other posts by phone), and then he goes to other posts to check the night himself.

Using this free time, Frye hurried to his dormitory to wake up the regular workers-the factory director often had to come back once. When I come back, the factory director will see regular workers sitting in the duty room, reading watches meticulously. But if the factory director resolutely doesn't believe Frye, he will leave a middle-level cadre to watch Frye, and he and other middle-level cadres will look for him separately. In the end, he can always get the sleepy regular workers back.

Needless to say, this month's money must be deducted, and 50 yuan and Frye also deducted 20 yuan for covering up. As soon as the inspectors leave, the regular workers will swear, scold the leaders for being vicious and not even letting them sleep, and scold Frye for not even farting, which is worse than a pig!

The official in the duty room is very talkative. They always cross their legs and pull into the fog cover. Sometimes they may be tired, and sometimes they may pull the topic and shout for help. As long as Frye is not busy for a while, run there quickly. As soon as he entered the door, a formal worker held his nose and retreated to the chair: "you bastard!" Eight generations don't take a shower! You stink! " Laifujin neither retreated nor retreated, just stood in front of them and smiled in whispers.

The official pinched his nose and said, "Come, show me the Prime Minister." Said and held out his left hand. Those hands are white and tender, with long nails like women. Frye was frightened and said, "How can I watch it? I won't ... "Another official said," Don't play dumb, boy. I heard that the land of your is full of fairy tales. Didn't you work the night shift last night and study this photo album until dawn? Why don't you watch it again? Look down on us? " The official who was waiting for palm reading went on to say, "It doesn't matter if you can't read it correctly. Just invite everyone to dinner. " Formal workers laughed and shouted, "Come and see, don't you think it's just a meal?"

Frye thought, fortunately, my father taught me some skills since I was a child. In the past two years, I have read several photo albums. Why don't you fool me? He smirked and said, "Then ... I'll just look around ..."

Frye was about to reach out and point out the lines on the white hand when the official suddenly drew back his hand and scolded, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands like that bear!" " ! "A few formal workers and a burst of laughter. Frye picked up a ballpoint pen from the table and pointed to the lines on the white hand.

Before Frye could say a few words, the official suddenly withdrew his hand and scolded, "Fuck off! Your boy is a pure charlatan! " Other formal workers shouted: "Frye, treat at noon, treat if you are not sure!" " This is what you promised! "

Frye smirked and said, "China people ... China people ... I have food in my room, so I'll fry two dishes for everyone ..." The official smiled and said, "Forget it, who can swallow the dishes fried with your dirty claws! Don't start cooking, you are responsible for going out and buying a bundle of beer. " So, before dinner, Frye made some time to ride the factory's broken tricycle to buy beer nearby.

After dinner, Frye squatted by the garbage truck, eating steamed bread and pickles. In the duty room, the regular worker opened the beer lid and drank happily. Regular workers eat their own cooking, and Frye spends time buying cheap ones in the nearby rural market and putting them in the dormitory. Usually, he is reluctant to eat.

From time to time, a word or two came from the duty room: "Shit, what dog food did you buy!" Too old to chew! "Frye doesn't understand why those regular workers drink every day and waste their health and money! Sometimes, while he was eating, an ordinary worker shouted in the duty room, "Frye, go and find some garlic!" " "He had to run back to the dormitory to find garlic for them.

The facilities of the sewage treatment plant are all bought from France. The equipment was introduced, but the technology was left abroad. If there are some minor illnesses, the technicians in our factory can still cope, but if there are bigger problems, we can only invite foreigners. Frye, this is the fourth time I have met a foreigner.

Foreigners often wear gray jeans, climb up and down, tear down the east and make up the west, whether it is hot in the sun or freezing in the cold (most of the equipment is outdoors), and they can't even eat for a whole day.

Frye also found that it is very simple for foreigners to eat. Sometimes they just squat down and take out a bag of instant noodles to dry. Foreigners are very enthusiastic. Every time they pass Frye, they should smile, nod and wave at him, and Frye will smile at them.

Frye was very touched. He has been in the factory for more than half a year and is used to being bossed around and scolded. No one has ever greeted him with a smile. Frye regretted not being able to fly back to his hometown immediately, and asked his daughter-in-law to tell his son to tell the whole village that outsiders were still buttering me up! Bow to me!

It was raining that day, and it was raining heavily. Several foreigners who are repairing the muck bridge outdoors are almost soaked, but they are still trying as hard as unconsciousness.

Later, one of the foreigners ran into the pump room. At that time, Frye's addiction came up again. He just put a piece of Hollyleaf in his mouth. The wet foreigner did not forget to smile, nod and wave at Frye, and Frye also smiled and watched the foreigner walk into the duty room.

Several regular workers in the duty room are spitting smoke rings and throwing poker. They threw poker at the open newspaper. In case the inspector comes, they will close the newspaper conveniently and seamlessly. When foreigners go in, naturally no one is afraid. The foreigner took a long-handled screwdriver from the windowsill, and his mouth chattered as if he were talking to himself.

Frye squatted beside the garbage truck, chewing Hollyleaf, and looked back intently at the foreigner's every move. He knows that foreigners will give him a friendly smile when they pass by. Frye waited carefully. He accused the smile he had given foreigners before of not being friendly enough. Today, he wants to give foreigners a friendly smile.

At this moment, Frye suddenly heard a regular worker in the duty room swearing: "Damn, this foreign devil dares to call us a bunch of parasites!" " X your mother! X your ancestors! "Hearing the bristle, Frye couldn't help frowning. I'm not embarrassed to scold him, but it's wrong to scold foreigners.

Frye recognized that the swearing man was one of the regular workers with the highest education. He was studying English at night university. The foreigner obviously judged the unfriendly words behind him and couldn't help but stop and turn around.

If foreigners turn a deaf ear to these dirty words, regular workers may get bored and stop attacking. But what they saw was the foreigner's confused and frightened appearance, and they immediately felt great stimulation, swearing more maliciously, and their mouths opened wide, as if to eat the foreigner.

Frye was so anxious that he had forgotten Hollyleaf in his mouth. He was worried about foreigners: just pretend that he didn't hear anything and didn't see anything. Go! He is also worried about regular workers: stop swearing, people are here to repair our machines! However, regular workers don't know his mind, and even if they do, no one will pay attention to him. They swore louder and stamped louder.

Foreigners stare big blue eyes in horror and point at them as if to ask, "What are you ... what are you doing?" ? ! "Formal workers approached with unbridled curses, and foreigners were forced to retreat step by step, back to Frye and back to the big sewage pool next to the garbage truck.

Frye "ooh" stood up, he was almost crazy, wishing he could rush up and slap those regular workers. When Frye discovered the foreigner's dangerous situation, he swallowed Hollyleaf in his mouth in fear. However, it was already late, and the foreigner fell into the deep sewage pool with a bang. Without a moment's hesitation, Frye let out a cry and jumped into the pool. ...

The foreigner is a landlubber, but he was saved from the water alive. Frye can swim, but he can sink.

A few days later, regular workers dug up a lot of things from the bed of Wisdom Fofo Agbo's dormitory: a basin of wet mud, a few bottles of paint, and many colorful clay sculptures. One of them is not finished yet, but judging from his sunken eyes and big nose, it must be a foreigner.

A knowledgeable official said in surprise, "Hey, I didn't expect this kid!" " "Later, the knowledgeable official sold these clay sculptures cheaply to a small handicraft shop, and the official took the money and drank wine for many days.
