I found a house in Beijing before I left, after all, the network is now developed, so as not to become a headless fly, the house is in a high-rise community on the edge of the second ring road, the advantage of choosing a high-rise is that there are almost no mosquitoes even if you open the window to sleep, the key is that I don't seem to have any choice within the fifth ring road in Beijing.

I paid the rent deposit to the second landlord and received the key, in Beijing, there are many second landlords who rent a big landlord's house after the renovation of the group, after all, many big landlords have more than one house, and generally do not have the energy to deal with the group of tenants, I rented a four-person room for 400/month.

My upper bunk is also from H City, graduated from H City Normal University, and works as a salesman in a kindergarten! The lower bunk opposite me works in a gay bar from Jiangxi, and he sleeps during the day and usually comes back in the early morning. His top bunk is a wine salesman in his forties, who has always wanted to buy a Nissan NV200 to run sales, but he hesitated to squeeze the subway every day.

I took out my college diploma, maybe I will use it when I apply for a job tomorrow, a photo slipped from it, it was my high school graduation photo, and Lan Jie and I stood in the crowd one after the other, smiling, with a green face.

I spent a week trying three or four jobs as a Taobao designer in Da L, a suburb of Beijing, and most of the other designers were half-grown children under twenty, and I seemed out of place. I went to work as a photography assistant in a wedding company, and the photographer was very humorous and very good at arousing the emotions of the newlyweds, but I felt that this was not my character and gave up. In the end, I settled in a TCM dermatology hospital and worked as a graphic designer in the planning department, which is somewhat similar to my work in the art gallery.

I've been here for a few months in a blink of an eye, getting up in a hurry every day, coming to the subway station in a hurry, squeezing on the subway for half an hour to come to the company, and I've been in such a hurry all day, and I'm gradually numb.

My colleague dragged me to other departments, saying that knowing the departments of the hospital was also part of the job, and he said that the reception nurses in other departments were also full of magic, but I was not interested.

I bought Lan Jie a birthday present, which is a habit formed in the past few years, but in previous years, she urged me, but this year I thought about it in advance. With the gift box in my hand, I sent a message to Lan Jie, and she replied briefly: No thanks. She didn't know that I was in Beijing, and I didn't know about her recent situation, thinking that maybe her life was the same as ours back then, and she had to deal with trivial matters and other people's troubles.

I sat on a stone bench on the side of the road, this is where I like, there is rarely such a quiet place in the noisy and busy big city, I looked at the idle land of the developers, they did not cut down this woodland for the time being to build a high-rise building, the forest is overgrown with greenery, the breeze blows the fragrance of the forest grass, I open the beautiful package, it is ordinary things, one bite at a time like chewing wax to eat.

Lying in bed at night, I quietly listened to them talk about their future plans with great interest, full of various visions for the city, and what challenges they were about to face. As a person who is later than them, but decadent as an old man, I am weak, I am the one who has been living under the protection of wings, right?

Or is this what the seed in my heart looks like? I thought that the towering tree was full of fruit, but when I came to the bottom of the tree, I found that the tree was also full of pickers, but I stood tired and waited for good luck to come, maybe the fruit would fall and hit my head, but it never was, in the face of the thorny trunk and the other pickers who looked at me angrily, I chose to wait, when hunger came I could only gnaw two bites of bark or eat a few pits that were left over from others.
