It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is where you're going, the most important thing in life is not where you stand, but where you go. As long as people don't lose their bearings, they will never lose themselves!

Haishi is the largest city in China, the economic and financial center, and everyone has a Haishi dream. And all the Chinese people have thought of going to the sea market to see the Bund, strolling around Nanjing Road, climbing the Oriental Pearl Tower, eating light Shanghainese dishes, and then taking a few photos, washing them out, hanging them in the most conspicuous place at home, and talking about them when they meet people. A visit to the sea market is enough to show off in front of relatives and friends for several years.

Haishi is also one of the fastest-growing cities in China since the 90s, and it is also one of the places that creates many labor opportunities and absorbs the most jobs. Therefore, in the past few years, the population of Haishi has doubled, and the urban area has more than doubled, but it is still one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Haishi has built the Inner Ring Expressway, and will soon build the Outer Ring Expressway, and now a lot of subways have been opened, and there are more subways and light rails under construction, constantly stretching to the distant suburbs.

Moreover, the rapid expansion of cities has also brought many problems, such as traffic congestion, polluted air, and a rapid decline in people's life happiness. However, even so, it still can't stop so many people from flocking to the market every year, and everyone has a dream of a sea market, as if there are opportunities everywhere, gold everywhere, and endless dreams of making a fortune.

However, when you come to Haishi and stay for a while, you will find that real life is not imagined. Although the sea market is good, it is not a paradise for everyone, especially the young generation who have just entered the society. Don't think about buying a house first, because even in the current Haishi, don't even think about buying a house without a few hundred thousand yuan? In the past two thousand years, even in Haishi, a city with a relatively high income, the per capita monthly income has been less than 2,000 yuan. Everyone can weigh it for himself, and this is just the most ordinary dwelling, and this is two thousand years, and it has risen by different magnitudes every year, definitely faster than the average person's income!

Let's rent a house, now in the popular residential area of Haishi, it is close to 1,000 yuan to rent a single room, and if you add other expenses such as transportation expenses, basic living expenses, etc., you may not be able to support yourself with a salary. Therefore, boarding houses, basements, that is the basic living state of many people, from then on live a noisy and chaotic or "dark" life.

Xiao Wanting talked about a former high school classmate of hers, who came to Haishi last year to work hard.

Because after graduating from college, the company's benefits were not good, so she and her husband came to Haishi to work hard. They currently live in a suburban village outside the outer ring of Haishi, my classmates came to Haishi, and found a cheap house here through a friend's introduction, the rent is less than 600 per month, although the house is very small, but the sparrow is small, there is an independent bathroom, and a gas stove can simply cook some food, that is, the water and electricity bills are more expensive than normal houses. This village will also be demolished sooner or later, and every time a village on the edge of the city is demolished, a large number of rich people will be produced, so they no longer live here, so they have built a lot of "talent apartment buildings", which are specially rented to outsiders who come to the city to work hard. ”

Guo Yi said with some worry, "Although the price is lower when I live there, the overall environment is not good, the safety and security are not very good, and it is still full of people." I once had the opportunity to pass by, curious to go down to see there once, and found that this place is really very remote, from the residence to the subway station, almost two kilometers away, every day there are small bouncing cars and motorcycles to and from the subway station. Every morning, hundreds of people rush from here to the subway station to change into the subway to go to the CBD, to the business district, and to change into clean clothes. When they get off work, they take the subway again, change to a small jump back to their residence here, and rest their tired bodies. Why don't they move to a better place?"

Zhao Hong smiled helplessly and said, "It's not because of money, I don't earn much, and I want to save more." Where do you dare to spend more!

The biggest advantage there, in addition to the cheap living, there is also the cheap food, every day and evening, the small restaurants all over the street, compared to the Bund, Nanjing Road are more lively, business is very good. As for the source of the food and the hygiene, I don't know, anyway, the people who live here will not be too demanding. ”

Zhao Hong's parents listened and asked, "Why don't you invite them here to be guests or come here for a good year? After all, those are your classmates!"

Xiao Wanting smiled bitterly and said, "I did invite, but they didn't want to accept it." The reason is that they are still ready to fight on their own. It's not the end of the year again, and those of them who worked hard in the first year of the big city, although they are not ready to go home for the New Year, are ready to take advantage of the New Year to take a good rest and save some money. If you go back, you not only have to buy gifts for your parents, brothers and sisters, but also prepare New Year's money for the children at home. ”

"It's not easy for the children! It's not easy to go out and eat with a mouthful of food! When you have the opportunity to help them, sending charcoal in the snow is more important than icing on the cake! With a little more warmth, they may be able to survive the difficulties!"

Zhao Hong's parents were a little helpless and comforted Xiao Wanting and said.

Xiao Wanting said with some emotion, "Maybe this is fate! If I don't meet the right person and the right opportunity, maybe I'm just like them! It's just that they are in Haishi, and I may be in country M." ”

Guo Yi also said with a relative, "Those days are really difficult!" She also remembered the days when she was alone in Los Angeles and took on the responsibility of supporting her family alone.

Zhao Hong, who was like this in his previous life, said with some memories, "In fact, this is an inevitable process! Just like now, when they return to their hometown, they easily dare not show their true life to their families, otherwise they are really afraid that their parents will be sad." There's no way, it's not out to work hard now, how can it be so easy. I hope that after years of struggle, everyone can find their own life. ”

Zhao Hong's parents also said with emotion, "There is no if, the second son and you have solved the economic problems through struggle." And today's happiness is not easy to come by! We must cherish it!"

Zhao Hong and his wife all nodded seriously, it was really good. After this illness, it actually promoted the further integration of the feelings between them, the love decreased, the affection increased, and they understood each other more tacitly!

"Huh! Hurry up and pay for it! Today's luck is so good! You can come whatever you want, and you can often touch yourself! Dig out the money and ask for ......."

Mom's card wins, and she's as happy as a child!
