“Smoke!”

“Get up and hit him!”

“Really, isn’t that a ball?”

"Fat, you will not play a ball, such a ball can not be picked up..."

Under an old eucalyptus tree, seven or eight young people up and down the age of 20 are surrounding a cement table tennis table, watching two players of about the same age on your board and I, and from time to time make a smile or a scolding sound.The ping-pong racquet in the hands of the players has long been worn out to see the particles on the rubber skin, as for the ping-pong ball they use, it is even more ridiculous, the sound of playing on the table, clearly has already cracked a small mouth of the broken ball.

“My brothers are playing, can you add me?”

A sudden voice sounded behind the crowd, and a few people looked back, a young man unknown to them, the age was basically similar to theirs, speaking Mandarin with a southern accent, and smiling and saying hello to everyone.

“Where are you?”A fat man who was playing looked at the little young man and asked incredulously.

The young man is naturally Feng Xiaochen.He turned around in the family area for half a day, saw a few old men playing chess, and helped an old lady carry half a bag of rice to the house.Turning to the side of the old eucalyptus tree, I suddenly saw a group of young people playing ping-pong balls, and heard the abnormal sound of ping-pong balls, he moved, went to the small shop next to him to buy a new ping-pong ball, and bought two boxes of cigarettes, so he came back to ask to join.

"I followed the head to your mine on business, the boss went to work, I was idle, came to find someone to play."

Feng Xiaochen said to the people.At that time, the domestic is popular "Garrison death team", like their age of young people do not like to see, after watching it also learned a cynicism, such as their own leadership called "head" is one of them.Feng Xiaochen wants to talk to these people, naturally to imitate their habits.

"We're still in line, so go and play somewhere else."A handsome young man watching the game next to him said.The group had only a pair of ping-pong rackets in their hands, so they had to take turns in line.Say good five goals and three wins, lose three balls to step down, let the people in the back to play.It was a monk who had little porridge, and Feng Xiaochen wanted to join, and of course they were not happy.

Feng Xiaochen held the ping-pong ball he had just bought in his hand and said, “Your ball is broken, isn’t it?”I have a ping-pong ball, you count me one, I line up with everyone, how about it?”

"That's possible."The fat man came over, took the ping-pong ball from Feng Xiaochen's hand, looked at it, and praised: "Yes, it's still red double joy, I'll try."

He did not wait for Feng Xiaochen to agree, so he took the ball to the table and began to fight.The feeling of playing a new ball and the feeling of breaking the ball can be far, and the crisp sound of the ping-pong ball falling on the table alone makes people feel happy.

“Brother, smoke.”Feng Xiaochen sat down on a cement pier next to him, took out the cigarettes he had just bought from his pocket, and distributed it to the crowd.

This time, everyone's hostility is gone, the handsome young man who had refused to join him sat at his side, reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, and smiled: "Yes, bro, work is not the same, which is like us young people who are unemployed, special meows can pick a few cigarette butts open."

“You’re not working?”Feng Zhichen asked the people on the other side of the Nunu mouth, to the handsome young man.

“Isn’t that nonsense, who’s working here during the day?”The handsome young man said, "This day until late father does not love his mother, when is a head."

In the middle of the conversation, the fat man who had just played had been eliminated by his opponent, and he handed the pat to the one who replaced him, and then he couldn't wait to run to Feng Xiaochen, held out his hand, and said with a shy face: "Oooh, there is smoke, give the root to taste."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and handed over the cigarette box, the fat man pulled out one, clasped on his mouth, gathered the cigarette butt in Feng Xiaochen's hand, took a sip, and said with an open eye, "Big front door, really rich, how long have I not smoked the big front door, it is difficult to pull some money out of my father, who is willing to buy the big front door."

Watching him so greedy to enjoy the smell of cigarettes, Feng Xiaochen felt a little funny, the man lost so much, probably because the bug committed it, so quickly eliminated, to find Feng Xiaochen smoked cigarettes.

A few people smoked cigarettes and just talked.Everyone spoke to each other by name, the fat man called himself Ningmer, the handsome young man was called Zhao Yang, and several other people also reported their names.Speaking of their respective circumstances, in fact, they are very similar, these people are the children of the mine, from a young age is the kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, the scope of activities almost did not leave the family home.

After graduating from high school, everyone has become the most popular unemployed young people, and occasionally there is one or two opportunities for them to work temporarily for a few days in the mine, and most of the time they can only work hard as they are now.Because they have no income, they can only eat and drink freely at home, so they are embarrassed to ask their parents for pocket money, and eventually they can't even afford a ping-pong ball.

"You cold water mine such a big mine, you can't even house so many young people who are waiting for you?"Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise.

“How many!”Ningmer said, he put out two fingers, and said seriously: "The whole mine counts down, like us squatting at home there is nothing to do, at least a thousand people."

“1,000 people, what do you do with two fingers?”Feng Xiaochen was surprised.

“I’m here to emphasize.”Ningmer did not think that he was counting the wrong number, he put down his finger and continued: "We are, according to Shi Guoyou, are the instability factor of cold water ore."In fact, I also think that we are very unstable, and if we stay like this, we must do something."

Ningme said that Shi Guoyou is the party secretary of cold water mine, and Feng Xiaochen also saw it when he ate dinner yesterday.This man is the army to change down, chat like political mobilization, from time to time will be on the line, Feng Xiaochen a little respect for him.

Zhao Yang said: "Now there are young people who are unemployed, but we have a lot of cold water mines."There is a labor service company in the mine, which has recruited more than 200 people to enter, and it is okay to be idle all day.In the summer, selling ice pops, and sitting next to an ice machine is more boring than us."

“Anything else can make money.”Ning Mobo muttered, "My father is a good old man, and what is said that temporary workers should be given priority to difficult workers and families, I am so poor that I can't even smoke the front door, why is it not difficult?"

Feng Xiaochen quickly renewed a cigarette for him and asked with a smile, “Why, Lao Ning, your father is the leader of the mine?”

Ning silently complained and said: "He is the director of labor, the management is the matter of recruitment."The old man's iron face is selfless, people are a middle-level cadre, at least can get a child into the mine work, he has to say that I am still young, not my turn, let my mother quarrel with him several times."

"Well, your father is the director of Ning."Feng Xiaochen nodded, labor director Ning Zhixin, is also one of the cadres who drank with them yesterday, but he did not seem to say anything at the wine table, Feng Xiaochen was not impressed with him, only remember that he was a thin and tall man, who had wanted to give birth to a son who was eight feet around the waist.

"Didn't you Pan Minmaster have a good ability, and he didn't want to help you young people who are unemployed find a way out?"Feng Xiaochen asked again.Through conversations with these unemployed young people, he vaguely thought of a program that might be used as a condition for exchanging with Pan Caishan.Now he needs to find out how Pan Caishan sees this matter, and know each other and his friends in order to win.

How could he have been infected by Luo Xiangfei and subconsciously regarded Pan Caishan as an enemy to be eliminated.Do you want to find a win-win outcome?

Ningme did not know what Feng Xiaochen thought in his heart, he even smoked Feng Xiaochen two cigarettes, and directly regarded Feng Xiaochen as a trusted friend.He used his hand with a cigarette in the air, like pointing to the point, Feng Xiaochen said: "Pan's point of the point, that is, the tube production is okay, to get the recruitment indicators of this kind of thing, he also has to point to my father to run errands."The last time he told my father, if my father can solve the more than 1,000 unemployed young people, he will give my father the position of the mine chief to sit.But isn't that nonsense, and now who has this ability can recruit more than 1,000 people at once."

“Did the mayor really say that?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

“This is false.”Ningmer said, "Old Pan is a headache for us people, I know this."His son, Pan Dapeng, is two years older than me and is now at home.My father did not dare to arrange me because Lao Pan refused to arrange his son.These old people, all of them talk about special principles, and it's stupid to say I'm just too stupid."

“And this thing?”Feng Xiaochen was slightly surprised, and thought to me that if Pan Caishan's son was also at home, it would be better, and he should be anxious about the employment of his children like other miners' families.Behind every unemployed young man, there are a pair of worried parents, more than 1,000 unemployed young people, basically can affect the entire cold water mine half of the cadres and employees.If you can do something on this issue, don't you look down at Pancai Mountain?

“Hey, Feng Xiaochen, it’s your turn, is it your turn, is it?”A young man waved a beat and shouted to Feng Zhichen that the people in front had already eliminated a round, and according to the rules, it was Feng Xiaochen's turn.

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand, signaled himself not to play, and then turned to Ningmer and said, "Ningme, I think you're going to see the scene, can you accompany me?"

Ningmei waved his hand and said, “No problem.Zhao Yang, you go get a car, let's go with Feng brother to see the yard."(Unfinished.
