This job is much harder than the peach's one, this time i was in Saint-Julien(Villefranche,LYON).So the tallness of the grapevines are around one meter or a bit less, we were all mixed up frenches chineses girls boys youngsters elders, most of french is from the high school or the first second year of their college, some are younger than 18 years old, so they have a permission on paper to work in the grapery by their parents, they work one week to ten days for a short trip with their buddies, or for some high-tech productions. The Chineses are 100/100 student abroad.We worked no matter how bad the weather are, insolation or downpour. Some one was sick but still continue, we 15 chineses lived in a unattached house, we worked 8hours by day, woke up at 06:15 am, queued up at the washroom for a piss, washed up quickly, then a simple breakfast or not. We walked to the vineyard before and after worktime about 30 mins, and that is not counted which we had spent on our way by worktime, that's strange, but nobody talked about it, so lets forget about it. We had half and one hour for noon, knock off 30 mins walking, we had actually only one hour (including shower time of course), anyway we ended up at 05:00 pm.
The evening was the happiest time for us in a day, 15 chineses sat around a table in our dining-room, we did not take so long for dinners or showers, the most important program was a card game which is called "the Killers" after dinner(it's enough ratiocinative this game,everyone had a number, i was number 8), it went on until 11:30 pm, slept at 00:30, it was so calm, you heard nothing but the snore...
It was so heavy as i said, but we were listening the french girls singing all the time, after some they plaied guitar, Ping-Pong, Petanque (it's a french game with the ferric balls) ... So i would like to say: C'est plustot pas mal ce travail, at last we can talk and sing.
In the end, i have to thanks for this boy number 16: Dorian. See you next time.
