No matter how long the road is, there will be an end, no matter how long the night is, there will always be an end, and no matter how heavy the rain falls, there will always be a time to stop. Dark clouds can never hide the smiling sun!

When it comes to sea drifting, it is still an enviable object in the eyes of many people. Because in such the largest city in China, they get several times the salary of the small city, which is also the reason for coming here; the salary they get is indeed much higher than that of the small city, but is their life really happy? Everything is good in the big city, but the life of these sea drifters is not good, and under the glamorous appearance, it is likely to be an extremely bitter life. But they always hope that they can return to their hometowns in good clothes, instead of being despised by others. This is also the reason why they are still reluctant to leave despite all the hardships. Under the glamorous appearance, how many are scarred hearts? and how many are just helpless inertial insistence!

Xiao Wanting's classmate Jin Mengjia and her husband are such a couple, they are crammed into a rented house on the outskirts of Haishi, and their perception of Haishi began with this crowded and dilapidated house. Every morning, they are a standard "white-collar worker", put on a suit or suit, and go to work in good spirits. Every afternoon after work in a hurry, the two of them are always tired and indifferent on their faces.

Such a simple rental house is temporarily renovated, using plywood to divide the original 30-square-meter rural house into small rooms, and build corridors and passages outside the door. The rental house space is a "three-in-one" place, where you can eat, live, cook, eat, drink, and lazar. There is also only one bathroom, and each person is limited to 15 minutes to wash at a time. In a boarding house like this, everyone is like a little ant, trying to survive.

Jin Mengjia and her husband do not have a sea market hukou. "I can feel that the city has restrictions on us at every turn. However, we don't know where to go. When I go back to my hometown, a large number of people have been laid off in that small county, and even if there are jobs, it will not be our turn, and I am just an ordinary family, so what good job can I find? His family is not even as good as mine! When I go to other big cities, the pressure in those places is also great...... We have no better choice but to stay. ”

Despite shuttling between the gorgeous steel forest and the farmland on the outskirts of the city every day, Jin Mengjia's dissatisfaction with this "city within a village" is quietly dissipating.

"No matter how gorgeous the neighborhood is, it's just where I go to work. "We have farms and rice paddies near our home, and in the summer, I feel good when I come back to my home." When I got off the subway, I was greeted by the sweet smell of cornfield. You'll feel like you've arrived at a familiar place. ”

Now Jin Mengjia just hopes that in the future, they will be able to live in a place closer to their workplace. If they have time, they can find another part-time job after work, "so that the income can be more, and we are ready to buy a house after we have a certain amount of savings, a place that doesn't need to be big, but at least we can have a home of our own!"

Regarding the further future, Jin Mengjia is not willing to think too much.

The crampedness of the room makes it impossible to stay. In this way, day after day, the sea drifters live in boarding houses, live in suburban villages, and may have a day to emerge, may be disarmed and return to the field, or may be curled up here all their lives. However, for the sake of the dream at the moment, everything is worth it. And what about the dreams that once had?

……

When Xiao Wanting came back, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, not that she didn't want to stay with her friends for a little longer, but the place where they lived was indeed a bit far away, and they needed to embark on the return journey early!

She told the story of her classmates to Zhao Hong and Guo Yi, and she was very serious when she told it. At first, he spoke very emotionally, and his speed was a little fast, but slowly he was getting slower and slower, and his tone was getting deeper and lower!

"Why are they so fortunate? They have also struggled for many years to get out of the encirclement and get into college, and they still have to be so difficult? What about those who are not as good as them?"

Looking at her somewhat confused expression, Guo Yi asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you offer to help them?" After all, those are also your classmates and friends, and it is completely okay with help!"

Xiao Wanting said helplessly, "They refused! They refused with a smile, they said that the days of such struggle were good, although it was hard, but at least there was no confusion." They have found their direction and purpose to work towards!"

Zhao Hong naturally understands what kind of situation this is, hasn't he experienced it in the same way? Moreover, they are still a husband and wife struggling together, and it should be said that their situation is still good! It's just that their part-time work time is still a little short, and they have not yet found the correct way and method, and these all need time and experience to accumulate.

"Don't worry, they're right! There is nothing wrong with the path they are striving for and the choice of goals, and when they will achieve it, it is just a matter of time!"

Xiao Wanting still asked a little strangely, "Then why haven't you experienced this? How do I feel that you seem to have been at a smooth start all along?"

Guo Yi smiled and said, "That's when you haven't seen him doing a hawker business! The same embarrassment, the same hardship, and the era when the hawker was called a blind stream!"

Xiao Wanting said with some doubts, "Why did you dare to start a hawker business at that time?"

Zhao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "That's not because the family is poor, there's no way! The big children in the courtyard and the children started picking up garbage early, and I also started with others, and I didn't make much money all day long, usually just a little more than a dime!"

"Then how did you come up with the idea of doing a hawker business?" asked Xiao Wanting a little strangely.

Zhao Hong looked at Guo Yi and said, "Guo Yi, what is the situation in our family, you should have heard of it, right?"

Guo Yi nodded, "I've heard that you all seem to have arsenals there, and the benefits don't seem to be good, and it seems that the unit will not work early!"

"To be precise, after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, the arsenals there will not work. The good old days of '86 are over! There are a lot of people who come out to do the hawker business. ”

"Oh! you learned it from someone else, too!"

"What do you think? I'm not ......."

But what Zhao Hong thought in his heart was that if he wasn't reborn, he would just be a peddler, and the future would only be slightly better. But there are exceptions, for example, Zhang Weiwu can get through this stage early, and even the next problem is solved by the way.

As for the reason, I can't say!
