Chapter 1: The Frustration of the Little People

Next Chapter

It's midnight, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the owner of the barbecue stall has begun to pack up the tables, chairs and benches to get ready to end a busy day. Zhao Chensheng raised his wrist and looked at the Citizen watch with drunken eyes, it was almost twelve o'clock. He has been sitting alone at this table for nearly 4 hours since it got dark at eight o'clock, and there are eight empty cans of Tsingtao beer on the table, but Zhao Chensheng took half a bottle of beer in his hand and poured it directly into his mouth, without the slightest intention of ending.

The fat boss had already packed up his things, and at this time, Zhao Chensheng was the only one left in this barbecue stall, and the fat boss was smoking on a chair in the distance, and he glanced at Zhao Chensheng from time to time. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so the fat boss threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and walked towards Zhao Chensheng.

"I said, Xiao Zhao, are you in a bad mood today? I've drunk so much wine by myself, let's stop here today, and if you drink again, you won't be able to go back to the unit. ”

Suddenly hearing someone talking to him, Zhao Chensheng was surprised, raised his head in a daze, and it took a long time to recognize that it was the fat boss: "I'm sorry, the boss 、、、" A wine burp, Zhao Chensheng stood up, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the fat boss.

After a while, the fat boss took the recovered change and handed it to Zhao Chensheng, "Xiao Zhao, slow down on the way back, although I don't know what happened to you, but you are still young, you must want to open it, there is nothing that you can't get over, right?"

Zhao Chensheng walked leisurely on the road late at night, and not far in front of him was the unit where he worked - Kangping Town**. Zhao Chensheng didn't want to go back to this sad place now, so he turned around and went in the opposite direction.

There were no pedestrians on the street, Zhao Chensheng raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, "It's so beautiful!", Zhao Chensheng muttered to himself, thinking that he hadn't seen the night sky for a long time, when was the last time? Zhao Chensheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Yu Guang saw the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China next to him, "ICBC, love to save or not, rely on, Lao Tzu has to have money to save、、、、、、" While thinking about it, he walked over, sat on the steps, picked up the beer in his hand and drank it again.

As soon as the night breeze blew, Zhao Chensheng's spirit was much better, but those bad things came to his heart again.

Zhao Chensheng is 30 years old this year, today is his birthday, and during the day, his parents called him to bring his girlfriend Zhang Qian home for his birthday, but Zhao Chensheng refused in the name of needing to work overtime to catch up with materials. Zhao Chensheng is an ordinary ordinary person, born in an ordinary family in the county, since he was a child, his studies are not top-notch but not too bad, and then he went to an ordinary second normal college, and after graduation, he wandered in the society for a year, he really couldn't bear the urging of his family, and at the age of 25, he applied for the civil service examination in his hometown, and finally passed the exam successfully.

Although they are the most basic civil servants, Zhao Chensheng's parents were really happy for a while, under their infection, Zhao Chensheng also felt that this was also very good, he had no ambitions, and it was good to be able to work in his hometown and take care of the elderly. If you work hard, maybe one day you will be able to mix with a section-level cadre. Because he knows that his family is ordinary and has no superior social resources and financial advantages, Zhao Chensheng has been working hard in the past five years, no matter what kind of difficult, hard, or tiring work it is, as long as it is distributed to himself, no matter how much effort he makes, he must strive to complete it perfectly. During this period, Zhao Chensheng also experienced in many positions, and felt that he still had a chance to fight for it when the time came. Since the year before last, more than half of the people who worked in the same year as me have been promoted, and I am still unknown, and the most infuriating thing is that those who work later than me and whose ability is not as good as my own have been promoted. Zhao Chensheng was also discouraged, but he still worked in a responsible manner.

Alas, I don't know if my parents are disappointed in me, every time I think of this, Zhao Chensheng feels that I am very sorry for my parents, every parent expects their children to achieve something, and he has achieved nothing for so many years. This morning, Zhao Chensheng was assigned to a private company to deal with the problem of unpaid wages for workers, a job he could have refused, but thinking that his father was also an ordinary person who had not received wages for a long time, he gritted his teeth and still did not say anything to refuse. Since he went in the morning, Zhao Chensheng has not rested for a moment, and has been communicating and coordinating back and forth between the factory and the workers. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the workers were finally calmed down, but no one in the unit sent a car to pick him up, and the fat boss had already left the factory in a car, so he had no choice but to walk back alone, and then found a familiar barbecue stall and began to drink.

Since starting a job, many people have been trying to introduce girlfriends to Zhao Chensheng, and since they knew that they had not bought a house in the city, gradually no one mentioned this stubble to themselves anymore. Later, I finally talked about one, who was very beautiful and taught in a certain elementary school. Thinking that he could finally explain to his parents, who knew that Zhang Qian had to buy a house in his own family last month before he was willing to marry him, Zhao Chensheng had saved tens of thousands of yuan in recent years, but he was still too far away from buying a house, and he really couldn't open his mouth to his elderly parents to ask for money, not to mention that they didn't have much money in the first place. In the end, although Zhao Chensheng was reluctant, he reluctantly agreed to break up. Last weekend, Zhao Chen couldn't bear to miss Zhang Qian, thinking about going to the school dormitory to find her to see if it could be recovered, who knew that when he walked to Zhang Qian's door, he heard a ** sound from inside, Zhao Chensheng was dumbfounded, and a minute later Zhao Chensheng silently turned around and left.

A few days later, Zhao Chensheng learned that Zhang Qian and he broke up with him, and immediately agreed to a male teacher in the school, Zhao Chensheng had met this teacher several times in the school before, Zhang Qian also smiled and told himself that the man had pursued him when he first entered the school, and the father of the male teacher was the principal of this elementary school.

Zhao Chensheng was very depressed, and even a little angry, but there was no way to vent it, who let himself not meet the other party's requirements? Besides, since they broke up, they had no reason to blame the other party. Zhao Chensheng was originally an open-minded and plain person, and after being angry, he also realized that everyone has the right to pursue happiness after the breakup, although this time interval is too short、、、、、、 Zhao Chensheng felt sad, but he didn't stalk Zhang Qian, the only thing that was difficult was how to tell his parents about the breakup.

Alas, life is not easy、、、、、、 after drinking the last drop of wine, Zhao Chensheng stood up and began to go back to the unit. "Wang, Wang、、、、 Wang" I don't know when a wild dog appeared on the road that has been gray, Zhao Chensheng has not been afraid of dogs since he was a child, not to mention that this dog looks so thin, but the angry thing is that this dog has been following Zhao Chensheng, although Zhao Chensheng is irritable, but he only cares about his own.

It was originally ten minutes away, because this dog made Zhao Chensheng feel that this road was too long, because the wild dog always ran in front of him, and then looked at Zhao Chensheng and barked. "It's a dog, don't you bother. Zhao Chensheng bent down to pick up something, under normal circumstances, the dog would run quickly, it was strange, the dog was still there looking at himself.

Zhao Chensheng couldn't stand it anymore, picked up a stick on the side of the road, and walked quickly towards the dog. Suddenly, his feet slipped, and Zhao Chensheng fell behind him.

In the process of falling, Zhao Chensheng thought of two points in his mind: first, who was so unqualified, and the glass wine bottle was thrown on the road like this, his uncle's! Second, he could take sick leave tomorrow, and he didn't know whether the leader would approve it or not、、、、、、
