"2018 I finally got my luck!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Wu was very excited. Farewell to the extremely difficult 2017, she finally decided on New Year's Day's day to work on the farm, the most important is the upcoming house, almost opened her ideal Australian Working Holiday life in the prelude: the big house, with a yard of local people And the work of the grape farm. Think of it as if the pie had fallen from the sky!
The grape farm that Xiao Wu wants to go to is located in what Mildura, calls "black worker base camp". Her two best friends at home persuaded not to go, but Xiao Wu didn't mind, even looking forward to it. Because there is a special "undercover mission" in the body, "while making money while participating in observation, this place is too rare," Xiaowu said cheerfully in his heart.
On January 4, 2018, Xiao Wu bought the 9 pm bus ticket and went to the Black work Camp alone. The night was on the road, reminiscent of 2016's National Day holiday with the red, white and blue sisters going to Mount Al: the faint plain, the uneven trees high and low, the huge moon (even if it wasn't a full moon): the plain that was visible, the uneven trees high and low, and the huge moon (even though it wasn't a full moon). There are bright stars scattered all over the sky, like the sky of my hometown.
She thought: "I must be suitable to travel alone, or so far with red, white and blue." It feels like you've made the right choice, and the return will give you some rebirth energy, just like the face, the village, just before you leave in the afternoons. "
"are you the daughter of Tuhao in China?"
Xiaowu's boss (contractor) K is Malaysian, and she was impressed by the shrewd, able and reliable appearance of the post-80s, when she first met. Because I and social app on the side of refueling while arranging the work of the profile picture is too different. This image reminds him of his cousin, who is far from home in the Northern Hemisphere.
K at the beginning of the attitude to Xiao Wu let her be flattered: promise to help find a house, but also found the kind of dream; personally early in the morning to pick up Xiao Wu station, but also find someone to take her to the supermarket to buy daily necessities; Xiao Wu was invited to have dinner with his family and introduced her enthusiastically to many co-workers. When arranging work, Xiao Wu was placed in a group with his girlfriend and a few old staff members, and she was never left with a job that was easy and easy to earn.
When cutting grapes and picking figs in the first month, K often helped her out without paying attention to her, taught her a lot of work skills, and was patient (K was originally a very impatient and grumpy person). This is a lot of support and help for a small, piece-by-piece, unskilled job at the beginning.
On one occasion, Xiao Wu accidentally cut her finger, K in the side without saying that quickly spread his T-shirt concern to help her wrap the wound, and soon found other co-workers to get a band-aid. On another occasion, the tree trunk of fig is very high, farmer requirement is strict cannot miss fruit, small Wu 1 m 60 is not able to reach at all. But K's dexterity, plus many years of farm work experience, limp through the lush branches and leaves of fig trees, left and right strings, soon helped her pick up three boxes of beautiful figs.
The details of the care were imprinted on Xiao Wu's heart every second, and after three months on the farm, she witnessed a number of people and found that the treatment was largely unenjoyed by other newcomers. As one of the few Chinese mainland to sign Working Holiday in the Malaysian Chinese community, Xiaowu suspects there must be some special reason.
Because of K's attitude towards Xiao Wu, other farm co-workers also took special care of her. When we started work, we didn't know a co-worker at all, but everyone seemed to know her. Every morning I went to the farm for the first few weeks, there was a constant voice: "are you small Wu?", "Let me help you with the box." it's okay, I'll help you push the cart. "this fig is as long as its tail is not green. Even if not all red half yellow, touch soft, can be down "Xiao Wu gratefully in the heart to say:" is really too many little angels!
It was almost three months before Xiao Wu became aware of the reasons for being taken special care of. The reason why "black" refers to the type of visa, here is the Malaysian Chinese gathering place, they travel to Australia under the guise of three months, the actual purpose is to earn money from work. After the three-month visa was "hacked," most people planned to work for three years, saving money to go home to buy a house, get married or do business.
The price is not to come to Australia for less than three years, which is much less expensive than the 10-year deadline for China's mainland. In this case, young people like Ukraine, who sign a formal Working Holiday, rarely choose to come to Mildura. And a girl who saw the news on Facebook and confirmed her boss by phone did not hesitate to come forward alone. For K, he had a certain sense of responsibility for being trusted. At the beginning, K let Xiao Wu call himself every day to report the achievements, and always never forget to gently encourage her: "very good ah!" We can do more than 20 cases in the first week. "
Most of the other male workers on the farm who took special care of Xiaowu considered her a developable partner. This is what Miao told Xiao Wu. Miao is also Malaysian, a year older than small Ukraine, a month earlier to the farm, is a good friend of K girlfriend.
Miao became the first person to talk to Xiao Wu at work. Once when the two of them were working together on the raisin farm, Miao asked curiously, "do you think which boys on the farm are good enough to have a try with each other?" "I hardly spoke to any of the boys except K, and I didn't live with them," Wu replied inconceivably. Miao listened and laughed and said, "although you don't know them, they all know you!" Everyone's been staring at you since your first day, boys, you know! "
Xiao Wu remembered that, indeed, since he was brought closer to the social app working group by K, all kinds of friends have been added to remind him that as long as he sees that it is a boy, he refuses to do anything at work. For example, Kun, added small Wu for three months, she hard-born did not agree. When Kun first saw Xiao Wu picking figs on the farm, he asked, "are you Xiao Wu?" They all say it's beauty! "
Seeing the addition of a few small Wu did not respond, Kun actually in the daytime meeting directly asked her: "Why I add you social app you do not return to add me?" Remember to go back and add it! " Xiao Wu can only be ashamed to lie and said, "Yeah, I didn't notice, maybe I was too tired from work to see it." it fooled me a few times, and he didn't say yes until he left. Kang encountered the same situation, but in the Lunar New year after dinner to send Xiao Wu back on the way, he was almost throughout the supervision of Xiao Wu back to add him, this time not ashamed to refuse.
But of all the male workers, Xiaowu is the most alert to N. N is K's most powerful assistant, responsible for most of the work arrangements of K workers, in their thirties. From the first day, N took special care of Xiao Wu. Such a busy man sent Xiao Wu several times on a special trip, and even sent her clothes left on the farm alone to her home. Usually he would have asked a small driver to do it, and they would never be generous about the fare.
Miao once said to Xiaowu directly as if he had raised relatives: "Xiao Wu, I think you should look forward, or I will introduce you a good person, how about N?" He's very nice! " Ning (also a member of the K core team) did the same thing, and it was the Chinese Lunar New year that had a New year's dinner at the K's, and asked Xiaowu directly in front of 20 or 30 workers: "what do you think of N?" At that time, Wu was really very embarrassed ah, hard students did not answer to bring the bowl to the door.
Xiaowu had always regarded N as a reliable big brother, and she respected him in her heart, because N looked honest and unheard of. When facing Wu, N was always ashamed of himself and kept his distance far away. But until one day, he made a yellow joke with Xiao Wu. This contrast reminded Xiao Wu that when N came to deliver clothes that day, she had just finished taking a bath and put on her pajamas, a long red-and-white dress under her lap.
A friend sent it to Australia before she came to Australia. When Xiao Wu took over N's clothes at the door, he saw him looking up and down at his body with no scruples. Because the focus was on thanking N for helping deliver clothes, she didn't think much. Now the two things are combined, small black heart inside really feel sick! After that, Wu saw him again, and almost treated him as a transparent man. When Xiaowu learned more about K, N, Miao, Ning's close relationship of relatives and friends in addition to their work, they already had seven or eight scores on many things in their hearts.
At the end of the day, she learned that it was probably the most fundamental reason for her special treatment. This is another good relationship with small Ukraine with Malaysia's sister Ham revealed. As a "veteran" who has been on the farm for nearly a year, the serious, responsible and honest style soon became one of K's right-hand assistants.
On his way home from work, he asked Xiaowu curiously, "are you the daughter of Tuhao in China?" After listening, Wu laughed and jokingly said, "if I were the daughter of Tuhao, would I still use it here?" Ham replied quickly, "Why not?" You're probably here to experience life! " Xiao Wu thought it very interesting but asked: "what makes you think I am the daughter of Tuhao?" "because the first time you met me, you asked me a question, I think you are very arrogant ah!" said Heng seriously, "the first time you met, you asked me a question." And you look so smart! "
Xiao Wu remembered the first time he met with Ham, or the first week of work. It was very hot that day, nearly 40 degrees hot. Xiao Wu was late at work. Ji was waiting for her in the car. There were also Mama Ji, Aunt Ji, and Ham. Such a hot day let them wait, Xiao Wu very guilty. When I got on the bus, I saw everyone holding a bottle of cold drink, Xiao Wu relaxed a lot, wondering if everyone waited for her impatient, Ji took them to buy cold drinks. But the sight is a vast range of vineyards, where does the shop come from? So Xiao Wu asked curiously, "where did you get your drink?" "my boss bought it," he replied briskly. Xiaowu is even more incredible, she wondered if the boss of the black work camp would be so good to the employees?
Then he asked, "who is your boss?" Ham answers a name is not K, Xiao Wu went on to say: "Oh!" Then we are not a boss! " The man in question was actually K's partner, but for Wu, who had just arrived at the farm and could not touch the north, she was not clear about these intricate relationships. These simple and direct questions seemed to her to be questioning: "Why didn't my boss buy me a drink!"
So Ham told Xiao Wu: "you ask me like that, this girl must have been used to getting used to from childhood!" Ha, "Xiao Wu thought to himself after listening," No wonder these right-hand assistants of K are helping everywhere. Maybe they think of me as a lady of a rich family. "
