The story starts in 1995.
A lot of things have happened this year, so I won’t mention them one by one here.
For Li Xiuling, there are only two major events that have happened this year.
The first thing is that I am laid off.
In the 1990s, the three northeastern provinces were surging undercurrents, state-owned assets were resold in large quantities, local criminal forces were rampant, and government agencies were ineffective and corrupt.
The S City Transformer Factory where Li Xiuling is located was suspended for two years and after a year of suspension of wages, it finally couldn't maintain it and collapsed in a blast.
In March, it was raining and rainy. The employees of the transformer factory surrounded the factory in the late spring cold and collectively went to the municipal government to petition. Some of them even secretly ran to the capital to sue the imperial court.
Li Xiuling was trapped in the crowd and ran around the world until the end of May. She finally couldn't reverse the fact that she was unemployed and returned home with a white note issued by the government.
There are many words printed on it, and the previous ones are some bold words that can be repeated and the government will never abandon the guarantee that laid-off workers will not be abandoned. It only briefly writes the fate of Li Xiuling and her colleagues at the end: Since it takes time for the factory to be acquired, the government's capital turnover takes time, and a large number of laid-off workers will take time...
Laid-off resettlement fees and minimum living security fees are temporarily arrears. Please wait for notice to support reemployment. We hope that the majority of laid-off workers will actively seek their own ways of finding their own way out to reduce the burden on national system reform.
In this case, the transformer factory is not the first or the last in S City.
The bankruptcy of one state-owned enterprise after another has caused a large number of idle people to appear in society at once. However, as an old industrial base in the Northeast, there are countless state-owned enterprises.
You have to eat and live a life, and you have to make money.
However, like everyone else, Li Xiuling suddenly realized that she could not do anything except her own skills.
In today's society, there is no shortage of any position, whether or not technology is needed.
There are too many people, and even wiping leather shoes has formed the scale of the entire street overnight.
Li Xiuling was traveling for another month while going out to find a job and going home.
There are people everywhere who can do anything as long as they can make money, and there are cold faces, ignorance and oppression everywhere.
The original job of working at 400 yuan a month is only 300 yuan now, and not everyone can find it.
From this she deeply understood what burden is.
To take a step back, even if I find such a job, my family's meager savings have long been used up. My daughter, ÁÁ, was born the previous year, is to be fed, and her husband, who was injured in the business trip, also needs a lot of treatment costs. This little money is still a drop in the bucket.
In desperation, Li Xiuling walked into a dance hall in Tiexi District, S City under the auspiciousness of a sister.
At that time, dance halls were no longer as scarce as they were in the 1980s, and a large number of idle people in society supported this special industry.
The reason why it is special is not a distortion to people who like to dance.
But in that era, people had begun to explore the potential commercial value of this public place, especially women.
Among the laid-off workers in the early 1990s, a considerable number of beautiful women had already entered the dance hall and started to make money by dancing to supplement their family income.
One yuan is a song, and it is helpless just to make a living.
During the day, men go out to find ways to make some money, while women stay at home, and when dinner is over, they turn around.
There are common bicycle brigades on the street. The husband is pedaling, and the wife is sitting on the back rack, all with a unified dance hall.
After the women entered, the men squatted or sat in the alley next to the dance hall, smoking inferior cigarettes, and waiting for their wives to get off work.
This process is often dull and has little communication.
At that time, when I went to the dance hall to accompany me, even though I just danced normally with other men, it had already touched the bottom line in people's hearts.
But society is unstable, and robbery and rape often occur after dark. Although my wife does something that she can't raise her head, she must wait until the dance hall ends and takes it home in person.
However, people, especially women, gradually discovered that this business actually has great potential.
Because there are many female companions, the dance hall has become a popular entertainment venue.
Because of the popularity, some rich people are beginning to be dissatisfied with contact with just a small part of their body.
I don’t know when it started. Every time two songs passed in the dance hall, the lighting, spotlights, and colorful lights would be extinguished, leaving only a few dim little light bulbs, and people danced the third dance music in the near darkness.
It is hard to tell whether this is in response to the request of the male guest or the female guest.
Some women start to earn more than others. When the dark song is over, these women often blush when the lights on the dance floor are turned on.
Later, it became one bright song and two dark songs.
Some men took their wives away on bicycles and never came back. Others began chatting in the alleys, talking about their glory and current decadence, scolding factories, governments, and ruling parties.
But everyone avoided the dirty jokes.
Later, some dance halls also started to open during the day, and the lights were divided into two parts. Some of the lights were still gorgeous, and people in neat clothes danced in the music, while the other part had almost no lights.
Li Xiuling was pulled into a dance hall separated by her friends. Of course, she didn't know this before she went there.
She can't dance, but her friend said she can learn.
My friend seemed to want to say something, but his eyes flashed twice but didn't say it.
Li Xiuling's friend is Lu Yu, and she is an employee of another state-owned enterprise in S City. She was laid off more than half a year earlier than her.
Anyway, the price of one yuan per song is indeed very attractive. Each dance music is only six minutes. If you are lucky, it will cost ten yuan per hour.
I went there for four hours one afternoon, which was forty yuan, and in a month it was one thousand and two hundred yuan, astronomical figures.
Usually, the child goes to a nursery school, and the husband will not have much problems at home. Li Xiuling's mother-in-law can take care of her even when she lives with her.
The only problem is that you need to wear a suit, at least you have to show that you are young and beautiful, that is the capital.
Most of the family has old clothes, because she has financial difficulties, so she hasn't bought new ones for a year.
However, there are still two pieces to wear.
She had a pair of high heels to wear, plus a shirt and long skirt, and she took a look in front of the mirror and applied a little lipstick.
The mirror was sent by my husband's unit before, with the words "Advanced Producer" written in red paint on the side.
The lipstick was given to her in advance by Lu Yu. At that time, she was waiting at the door of the dance hall, and her husband would give it to her.
The mirror reflects the face of a twenty-six-year-old woman. She couldn't say what her expression was, and she was stunned.
This is the first time she has been to such a place.
On the road, Li Xiuling was very nervous. On the one hand, it was out of confusion about the future, and on the other hand, it was from the throbbing of morality.
She never thought that one day she would appear on the dance floor, face to face with a strange man, holding hands.
However, the desire for money was real, and she pushed her forward behind her.
The bus took seven stops, got off the bus and walked through an alley, turned over a red brick wall. She saw Lu Yu standing on the steps outside the dance hall door and talking and laughing with another woman.
Li Xiuling didn't know that the alley next to her was the gathering place for those men.
Seeing her coming, Lu Yu waved at her, then turned around and said something to the woman next to her.
She walked forward with a restrained look and learned from her friend that the woman next to her was Zhang Xiaofen.
Zhang Xiaofen looked her up and down and said: Oh, this girl looks so beautiful!
He enthusiastically grabbed Li Xiuling's hand and dragged her into the dance hall with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaofen have monthly tickets, while Li Xiuling spends one dollar.
The ticket prices of dance halls are different for men and women. For one dollar, one dollar, fifteen dollars per month, three dollars per month, and forty dollars per month.
I took the ticket printed from the inferior paper from the window, and just took two steps to a door with two thick curtains hanging. The military green curtain was turned over by countless people, and there were two black strips on the side, shiny.
As soon as Lu Yu lifted the curtain, a turbid air mixed with music, vocals, smoke, alcohol, sweat, and unknown smell came to her face, which scared Li Xiuling.
Zhang Xiaofen smiled and pushed her from behind, and she couldn't help but be swallowed by the door.
The outside of the dance hall looks small, but it is actually a considerable space inside.
With the lights, Li Xiuling saw a large area covered by flashing lights and colorful lanterns on the front of the door, and a pair of men and women were dancing to the rhythm of the music.
Around the wall is a seating area, a row of long backrest chairs wrapped in black artificial leather.
There is a small bar in the right hand, next to it, with some small round tables and chairs, some sitting there drinking or drinking, some smoking, some chatting, and pointing at the dance floor from time to time.
There was a small place next to the door, where seven or eight women stood, of varying heights. Occasionally, a man walked up and faced a woman saying something, the woman handed her hand to the other party and walked into the dance floor together.
And when the song ends, there will be a few pairs coming out on the dance floor. The woman smiles, takes one or two bills from the man, and then stands back to that small place.
Really make money!
Li Xiuling finally found a reason to not turn around and run out, although she was still blushing and her legs were weak.
Zhang Xiaofen disappeared when she disappeared. Lu Yu was by her side, telling her where the bathroom was, when the show started, what time it ended, what kind of music was suitable for people like her who couldn't dance, etc.
Because the environment was too noisy, Lu Yu had to put these words in her ear.
She saw that the communication between those women was also carried out.
While talking, they walked over there, Li Xiuling was still a little shy, and Lu Yu had to accompany her to stand a little behind the group of women.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and there must be a process of adapting.
Lu Yu was still talking in her ear, telling her to pay attention to the people on the dance floor.
Many difficult movements cannot be learned just by learning them, but there are also a few pairs that are just tied together and move slowly with the beat.
Li Xiuling didn't dare to look up and glanced at the shoes that were moving back and forth with her eyes, while gently moving her legs and feet, simulating in her heart.
Just as the song ended, people came back to rest.
Li Xiuling's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the women's actions of collecting money.
A hand suddenly reached in front of her, which scared her.
She looked up and saw a middle-aged man, about half a height than her, standing there with a smile.
Skip a song?The man asked.
Ah…I…I won’t… She answered in panic.
Lu Yu gently poked her waist beside her and whispered: Go, go quickly.
She was still hesitating, her eyes dodging and dared not look directly at the man's face.
Lu Yu grabbed her hand and stuffed it into the man's hand: She was not very used to it for the first time.
In a trance, Li Xiuling found that she was already standing in the dance floor. Her left hand was held by the man and stretched out to the side, while her left hand was hugged behind her waist.
The two faced each other, in front of her was the man's chin, and the heat that the man exhaled was plunging on her face.
The temperature of the man's palm came from his left hand, and in an instant her hand sweated with her forehead.
The even more deadly temperature came from behind the waist, and the man's palm and her skin were only separated by a layer of shirt.
This feeling left her brain blank.
Although she has been a wife and a mother, she has never had such close contact with a strange man like this.
I couldn't remember the steps I had seen before. She felt that her legs were as hard as stones in the music.
The first time I've been here?Don’t be nervous, dancing is a kind of entertainment. To relax, if we don’t dance those things, just follow my steps... The man’s voice mixed with the dance music came in a vague way.
She wasn't sure she said nothing, so she passed by dizzy six minutes, as if she had accidentally stepped on the other person's foot in the middle.
She seemed to apologize, but she couldn't remember what she said, and her heartbeat was echoing in her ears.
After the music ended, the man let go of his hand, and she was still stunned. The man smiled and said: Let's go back to the side, I can give you money.Only then did she realize and follow the man back.
Seeing the other party paying money, she squeezed out a sentence from her teeth: I'm really sorry Ah... The man stuffed one yuan into her hand: It doesn't matter, it was like this at the beginning. You are quite beautiful and you will definitely learn well.
Li Xiuling made a net profit of five yuan on that afternoon. Although it was different from what she expected, she gained something after all.
Just based on this number, it is 150 yuan per month, which is almost as good as the price of washing dishes in the kitchen of a small restaurant.
What's more, this is the first day.
On the contrary, Lu Yu accompanied her for the whole afternoon and made no money.
This made her feel very sorry for her and invited Lu Yu to drink a bottle of 50 cents of soda in the dance hall.
This is something she can't imagine in normal times.
On the way home, she bought some food, and she felt that she was floating around while walking, and she had not recovered from the nervous state.
In the following time, Li Xiuling went from shy to habit, and began her dance career.
She only told her family that she had found a job as a odd job. Her husband lost most of his language skills after his work-related injury, so she could only vaguely express her understanding.
The family's financial situation is still in short supply, and that astronomical figure is still an out of reach for her, and now she knows that it is really just a dream.
Although the woman who dances with her in the light-lit area is also to make money, no one is as embarrassed as her.
Women who really need to make money are all on the other side of the dance hall, where there is a half-wall. Going further inside, it is a dark light area.
This is the fourth day she went to the dance hall, Lu Yu said.
Zhang Xiaofen is there, Lu Yu stands with her every afternoon and goes there in the evening.
She was surprised to find that she didn't notice that there was still such an area.
However, standing in the bright place to see where the darkness is, you can't see clearly.
There were many men near the wall, and there were only a dark and faintly shaking figures left inside. There were a few small red lights on the ceiling, emitting light that could not be shined on anything.
She asked Lu Yu what the environment was there, and Lu Yu said it was a slightly smaller dance floor. In addition, it made money there much faster than here.
What's going on if you're too fast?
Five yuan and two songs.
But it’s not that there is no price, but the price is that when jumping, you have to let the man touch it.
Lu Yu didn't say anything else, and Li Xiuling didn't dare to ask again.
Later, she became familiar with the environment and gradually began to calm down.
Lu Yu never accompanied her again. She knew that Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaofen stood together, just in the darkness.
She didn't dare to go over and take a look at it once.
Just like that, two months passed.
Li Xiuling earns a little, more or less every day, maintaining a slightly higher income level than brushing the plate.
The husband is still paralyzed in lower limbs, and he can only express his speech with simple pronunciations.
My daughter speaks more and more fluently, often making people laugh.
However, most of the time, Li Xiuling couldn't smile. Even if she had a smile, she was mostly for her family to see.
My mother-in-law occasionally enlightens her, but this doesn't work much. Everyone understands that the biggest problem of this family is that it needs money.
And this problem becomes more and more urgent as creditors come to the door.
When her husband was injured in an industrial operation, his unit benefits were already very bad. Although some of the surgical and treatment costs were reimbursed, his family still needed to raise the remaining gap. At that time, Li Xiuling's mother-in-law sold all the house in her hometown, and because of her anxiety, she was even suppressed.
In addition, I had to borrow some money from others.
Among them, the largest amount of money comes from Brother Liu.
The other works come from relatives and friends whom you know each other.
Brother Liu and Li Xiuling were in the same factory back then. The two had a little bit of interaction at first. Brother Liu was a little interested in Li Xiuling, but at that time she felt that Brother Liu was not doing his job properly and was not down-to-earth.
Later, Brother Liu was suspended from payroll and stayed at work. It is said that he and a few friends bought some small commodities from the south to sell them, and he made a fortune after a while.
At that time, Li Xiuling found him. Brother Liu didn't say anything, and then sold 30,000 yuan to help her fill the gap in medical expenses, and only asked her to write a loan note.
Now it’s not Brother Liu who is coming to the door.
He is a relative who does small business on weekdays and the money is actually not very large, 5,000 yuan.
When doing business, no matter how big or small, it is inevitable that there will be a time when capital turnover cannot be opened. Moreover, people really helped themselves back then, but now it is natural to repay the debt. It is not difficult to borrow and repay it again.
This is not a problem, the problem is that there is no money.
I have already borrowed anything I can borrow. If I have to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, at least I have to have a wall to choose from.
Fortunately, he was a relative after all, so he didn't say anything. He gave up for a month and asked Li Xiuling to think of another way.
So Li Xiuling had to face such a serious situation. This article is an erotic novel. After five thousand words, she has been avoiding the importance and making mistakes. Readers are ready to curse.
The reader is God.
Under the joint force of fate, God and creditors, she had to make a decision.
As for her grievances, her shame, the various ideological struggles and some trivial experiences she made due to this decision, this book will not express them one by one.
A poor woman in the context of the great era, no one cares about her difficulties, and all those who struggle in the sun like her have the same or similar suffering as her.
Time is like an out-of-control tank that will crush all the ups and downs and turn everything into dust of history.
A lot of things have happened this year, so I won’t mention them one by one here.
For Li Xiuling, there are only two major events that have happened this year.
The first thing is that I am laid off.
In the 1990s, the three northeastern provinces were surging undercurrents, state-owned assets were resold in large quantities, local criminal forces were rampant, and government agencies were ineffective and corrupt.

It only briefly writes the fate of Li Xiuling and her colleagues at the end: Since it takes time for the factory to be acquired, the government's capital turnover takes time, and a large number of laid-off workers will take time...

Just based on this number, it is 150 yuan per month, which is almost as good as the price of washing dishes in the kitchen of a small restaurant.
What's more, this is the first day.
On the contrary, Lu Yu accompanied her for the whole afternoon and made no money.
This made her feel very sorry for her and invited Lu Yu to drink a bottle of 50 cents of soda in the dance hall.
This is something she can't imagine in normal times.
On the way home, she bought some food, and she felt that she was floating around while walking, and she had not recovered from the nervous state.
In the following time, Li Xiuling went from shy to habit, and began her dance career.
She only told her family that she had found a job as a odd job. Her husband lost most of his language skills after his work-related injury, so she could only vaguely express her understanding.
The family's financial situation is still in short supply, and that astronomical figure is still an out of reach for her, and now she knows that it is really just a dream.
Although the woman who dances with her in the light-lit area is also to make money, no one is as embarrassed as her.
Women who really need to make money are all on the other side of the dance hall, where there is a half-wall. Going further inside, it is a dark light area.
This is the fourth day she went to the dance hall, Lu Yu said.
Zhang Xiaofen is there, Lu Yu stands with her every afternoon and goes there in the evening.
She was surprised to find that she didn't notice that there was still such an area.
However, standing in the bright place to see where the darkness is, you can't see clearly.
There were many men near the wall, and there were only a dark and faintly shaking figures left inside. There were a few small red lights on the ceiling, emitting light that could not be shined on anything.
She asked Lu Yu what the environment was there, and Lu Yu said it was a slightly smaller dance floor. In addition, it made money there much faster than here.
What's going on if you're too fast?
Five yuan and two songs.
But it’s not that there is no price, but the price is that when jumping, you have to let the man touch it.
Lu Yu didn't say anything else, and Li Xiuling didn't dare to ask again.
Later, she became familiar with the environment and gradually began to calm down.
Lu Yu never accompanied her again. She knew that Lu Yu and Zhang Xiaofen stood together, just in the darkness.
She didn't dare to go over and take a look at it once.
Just like that, two months passed.
Li Xiuling earns a little, more or less every day, maintaining a slightly higher income level than brushing the plate.
The husband is still paralyzed in lower limbs, and he can only express his speech with simple pronunciations.
My daughter speaks more and more fluently, often making people laugh.
However, most of the time, Li Xiuling couldn't smile. Even if she had a smile, she was mostly for her family to see.
My mother-in-law occasionally enlightens her, but this doesn't work much. Everyone understands that the biggest problem of this family is that it needs money.
And this problem becomes more and more urgent as creditors come to the door.
When her husband was injured in an industrial operation, his unit benefits were already very bad. Although some of the surgical and treatment costs were reimbursed, his family still needed to raise the remaining gap. At that time, Li Xiuling's mother-in-law sold all the house in her hometown, and because of her anxiety, she was even suppressed.
In addition, I had to borrow some money from others.
Among them, the largest amount of money comes from Brother Liu.
The other works come from relatives and friends whom you know each other.
Brother Liu and Li Xiuling were in the same factory back then. The two had a little bit of interaction at first. Brother Liu was a little interested in Li Xiuling, but at that time she felt that Brother Liu was not doing his job properly and was not down-to-earth.
Later, Brother Liu was suspended from payroll and stayed at work. It is said that he and a few friends bought some small commodities from the south to sell them, and he made a fortune after a while.
At that time, Li Xiuling found him. Brother Liu didn't say anything, and then sold 30,000 yuan to help her fill the gap in medical expenses, and only asked her to write a loan note.
Now it’s not Brother Liu who is coming to the door.
He is a relative who does small business on weekdays and the money is actually not very large, 5,000 yuan.
When doing business, no matter how big or small, it is inevitable that there will be a time when capital turnover cannot be opened. Moreover, people really helped themselves back then, but now it is natural to repay the debt. It is not difficult to borrow and repay it again.
This is not a problem, the problem is that there is no money.
I have already borrowed anything I can borrow. If I have to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, at least I have to have a wall to choose from.
Fortunately, he was a relative after all, so he didn't say anything. He gave up for a month and asked Li Xiuling to think of another way.
So Li Xiuling had to face such a serious situation. This article is an erotic novel. After five thousand words, she has been avoiding the importance and making mistakes. Readers are ready to curse.
The reader is God.
Under the joint force of fate, God and creditors, she had to make a decision.
As for her grievances, her shame, the various ideological struggles and some trivial experiences she made due to this decision, this book will not express them one by one.
A poor woman in the context of the great era, no one cares about her difficulties, and all those who struggle in the sun like her have the same or similar suffering as her.
Time is like an out-of-control tank that will crush all the ups and downs and turn everything into dust of history.
