Chapter 362 Swallows: Migratory Birds Flying South (1)
Compared with previous years, this year's summer seems to be particularly long, so long that migratory birds have forgotten to migrate early to warm islands to escape the cold.
Just now, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the temperature dropped by 20 degrees. People and birds were all frozen.
A group of swallows stumbled on their journey, flying south with their families.
The cold wind was biting, like cutting a knife.
The leading swallow is large in size, with a blue-black metallic luster on the back of its head, which shines brightly even in the dark sky.
The swallows consciously formed echelons, and the vanguard bore the greatest pressure of breaking the wind.
The one flying unsteadily at the end of the formation was Wang Defa.
In the 86th life, he was born as a silly little swallow whose feathers would stand on end when the wind blew.
It is truly small, less than one year old, with dull gray fur and a short tail.
A strong wind was blowing in his face. Wang Defa wanted to ask his fellow villagers to slow down and wait a moment, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a belly full of cold wind filled his mouth.
The mother swallow, who had been watching the cub from the front, pointed her ears and thought that the cub was choking on the wind, so she slightly turned sideways to block it.
The mother had a kind heart, but the goose had good intentions but did bad things. Its wings paused for a second, and if it delayed a little, it would have landed firmly on the cub's head...
(?_?)
Wang Defa: Mom, I feel dizzy, I want to go downstairs and have a rest!
whoosh-
The security guard who was fishing by the pond looked up inadvertently and saw a small black dot falling from the sky like a weight.
There was no change in the formation of the swallows lined up in a straight line under the clouds. The careless mother swallow did not look back, but hurried to catch up with her husband in front.
In the first year of their marriage, the Swallow couple are still in the honeymoon period, even after they have laid eggs and raised cubs. They are inseparable and do not want to separate.
As for the cub, just let it be. Anyway, it has been taught what it needs to be taught, and it won’t starve to death.
Wang De fell straight down dizzy. A gust of northwest wind of level 4 blew past and blew the small lump directly into a broken warehouse below.
【Bang——】
Dust is everywhere.
Just as the security guard was about to get up to check, the fishing float that had not moved for a long time was suddenly pulled into the water.
[Hey, you can have extra food tonight! ]
A pair of rough big hands tightly grasped the fishing rod and began to skillfully reel in the fish. The wrestling process allowed no distraction, and he naturally forgot the thought that had just occurred to him.
Not far behind the security guard is a garment factory that has been shut down for several months.
The economic environment has been bad in recent years, and the years have been bad. The boss has lost so much money that he has to pawn his wife's dowry. Most of the workers in the factory have left, and the role of the security guard is just that.
I started fishing in the morning on a weekday. Now it's getting dark. I'll fish all day and still get my 3,800 yuan salary at the end of the month.
The security guard is a relative of the boss's from his hometown. Because of the affection of the older generation, the boss dare not treat him badly.
Next to the warehouse is the staff dormitory. In one room, three people are playing Landlord, with long pieces of paper stuck on their faces.
One of them heard the sudden noise outside and tilted his head.
[The batch of cotton clothes in the warehouse hasn't been delivered yet, right? Why did I hear some squeaking noises just now? Did a mouse get in?]
[Three with one! Hey, Lao Wang, I only have one card left, don't make excuses! I didn't hear anything! ]
[Yeah, there is no mouse. I didn't hear anything either. Play your cards now. The loser of this round has to cook!]
Wang Defa was trapped in total darkness, running around like a headless fly.
More than 20,000 pieces of cotton clothing were packed in huge woven bags and piled up into a small hill.
This mountain is not small for a swallow as big as a child's fist.
【Chichichichichichichichi——】
(??へ???╬)
Wang Defa's pointed mouth was stuck in the gap of the packaging bag and couldn't be pulled out. He was furious, with no place to vent his anger, so he shouted at the top of his voice.
The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. His mouth became stuck tighter, forcing him to mute himself, and his nostrils were blocked.
It was too frustrating to die like this, so Wang Defa took a deep breath, stood in a horse stance, pressed the packaging bag with his wings, and finally got out in a flash.
As a result, the next breath did not follow in time.
Well, Wang Defa rolled his eyes and fainted magnificently.
That was the noise that Lao Wang heard, but the other three pricked up their ears and heard nothing more.
The two people sitting opposite Lao Wang both agreed - she was just being mysterious and couldn't afford to lose.
The next morning, two trucks arrived.
Only when a truckload of cotton clothes is sent to a designated place can the boss receive the final payment for this batch of custom-made clothes.
A truck pulled fifty 80% new electric flat carts on the production line. Lao Wang and the remaining dozen or so colleagues counted them together.
It is impossible for an old lady who is over 50 years old to do such heavy physical work as moving and lifting.
The younger ones have already found other ways out, and they would ask about the situation in the factory’s group chat every now and then.
After all, there are not many bosses like this who insist on paying employees' salaries on time every month out of their own pockets even though their income is not enough.
As the truck left, the factory seemed even emptier.
[Hey, why is there a swallow in the warehouse? ]
Lao Wang was holding a big broom and was about to clean up the warehouse area where goods were piled up when he saw a dusty little thing at a glance.
Wang Defa was half asleep when he was suddenly held in the palm of a warm hand. Several fragments flashed through his little head like an electric shock -
(I haven’t had this supernatural power for a long time. Finally, a human being hugged me with good intentions. Woohoo~)
(づ??????)づ
On the brand new production line, young Lao Wang and a dozen girls with long braids were gathered together by an old factory manager for a meeting. Everyone shouted passionate slogans. That was the year when the factory was first established;
The factory was expanded and a large number of people were hired. The axles of the old butterfly sewing machines were humming, and the pedals underneath were flying under the feet of young girls and wives. Clothing orders from all over the country piled up on the old factory director's desk like snowflakes. Old Wang, with a big belly, entertained the excited new employees. That was the year when this factory rose to prominence;
The old city was demolished, and the demolition office leader first talked to the old factory director. The factory was moved to a wasteland on the outskirts of the city. The boss, who had just turned 40, took over his father's job. There was a lot to learn for a civil engineering major to take over clothing manufacturing. The factory director's growth path was also the factory's difficult path to survival in an increasingly competitive market environment. That was the year when this factory grew up with difficulty;
The old factory manager arranged a lot of unnecessary positions for the folks in his hometown. After more than ten years, the tail was too big to be removed and became a big burden. In order to develop, the boss made drastic cuts, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the old employees. They complained to the old factory manager, and the old man suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The factory was in a state of panic. Lao Wang stood up to stabilize production and supported the factory manager's decision. That was the year when the factory wanted to transform;
The old employees are old-fashioned and conservative, while the new employees are radical and reckless. While the boss was hesitating, he discovered that e-commerce was rapidly seizing the market like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the factory could not keep up with the times. Relying on the personal connections accumulated in the past, the factory managed to hold on for another ten years. During the three-year epidemic, officials in small places were in danger and over-interpreted the above words. They implemented a one-size-fits-all approach, and the factory was forced to close and stop production... After the lockdown was lifted, facing the empty factory, rusty sewing machines, and moldy and decaying backlogs of fabrics, the boss knelt down and cried, and he no longer had the ability to revive it. Lao Wang saw that the factory was becoming more and more depressed, and the entire dormitory building was almost empty. He often hid in the quilt and cried. Those were the many years that this factory struggled...
Wang Defa blinked his eyes and couldn't help sighing: What a miserable rich second generation, he might as well just lie down and be a salted fish!
When Lao Wang heard this, he turned around with his eyebrows raised. Just as he was about to curse, he found that there was no one behind him...
Lao Wang's hair stood on end and he felt cold all over: ??? Who was talking just now?
Wang Defa: Auntie, it’s me!
Lao Wang's face turned red with anger.
[Bah, you are the auntie, your whole family is the auntie! ]
