A few wisps of breeze brought a little coolness, and the unbearable midsummer day passed like this.

It was late at night, Xiao Nan fell asleep, and Li lay quietly on one side, grabbing a fan and gently fanning Xiao Nan's side. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to slap off the annoying mosquitoes, and from time to time he tugged at the mouth of his clothes a few times, trying to separate the clothes that were stuck to his body due to sweat stains.

Li Jing was very tired, and everything that had happened that day made him feel tired like he had never felt before.

But he's preoccupied...

"If I go to work, what kind of job will I get?"

"It's tiring to work, isn't it?"

"How much can I get paid for my job?"

"I have to pay rent, I have to change some daily necessities, and I have to save money for Xiaonan's tuition. That's a lot of money. ”

"The most important thing is that there is no living expenses at home, and you need to pick a job that can be paid in advance..."

This is a question that has been swirling in Li Jingjing's mind all day. He really did a lot of conjecture and planning. Unconsciously, the night deepened, and the sound of buzzing mosquitoes hovering in his ears from time to time was like a lullaby, making him less and less energetic to spend time thinking about other things.

Yes... Why don't you sleep? Get some sleep and get up tomorrow and go out again?

Well, maybe I'll wake up, this rebirth is just a dream.

Li Jingjing reached out and turned off the incandescent lamp, which was slightly dim due to his age, lay on the bed, twisted his body a few times, trying to make his sweat-soaked clothes not stick so uncomfortable, trying to find a more comfortable sleeping position...

In the confusion, there was a thought so strong - how good it would be if I could get a good job?

.....

This night, Li Jing had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that he was comfortably bathing, lying on the soft big bed, blowing the air conditioner, playing mobile games, and greedily enjoying this happy time.

But the relentless sunlight and the noisy chirping of cicadas woke Li Jingjing up. He was dissatisfied and wanted to sleep again, to return to that wonderful world, but the hard iron bed under him deprived him of sleep, ah, remembered, today decided to find a job...

"Where's Xiao Nan?"

Turning his gaze to the side, Xiao Nan was gone, which made Li Jing can't help but get up.

"Dad, are you awake?"

A childish voice came from the front.

Xiao Nan looks like he's been up for a long time. She was sitting on a small stool next to the bed, looking at Li Jingjing, who had just gotten up, holding a piece of steamed bun in her hand, chewing hard with her small mouth.

Li Jing was stunned, and his eyes immediately turned to the small wardrobe, one of the small bags where there were several stiff little steamed buns yesterday was torn off, and the one torn off should be the one in Xiao Nan's hand.

The sun is not small, there is no wall clock in the room, there is no mobile phone on the body, and the time must be at least close to noon.

Li Jing knew she was hungry. I overslept and didn't take care of her, and there was only that bag of steamed buns in this house...

Looking at her little body, which looked very thin, Li Jingjing instantly felt guilty for her carelessness, and got out of bed in a hurry, "Are you hungry?" Come, go out with Dad, Dad will take you to dinner. ”

Xiao Nan shook his little head, because he was chewing steamed buns in his mouth, he was a little slurred, "Xiao Nan has eaten steamed buns, I'm full, Dad, go eat." ”

“....”

That's right... She's all fed...

Li Jing fell silent.

It took him a long time before he recovered from his silence. sighed lightly, walked to Xiao Nan's side and squatted down, lamely tied her already somewhat scattered ponytail neatly, and then grabbed the steamed bun that had been torn in half in the steamed bun bag on the small wardrobe, touched Xiao Nan's head, and said, "Dad is not hungry, just eat a little steamed bun." After that, he bit up.

The stiff and tasteless steamed buns are indeed hard to swallow, but he doesn't plan to spend a few dollars to enjoy a lunch alone. There were only 13 yuan left after dinner last night, and if you spend it wantonly, the two of them will have no money for dinner...

It's time to find a good job quickly!

It's strange to say.

Li Jing was a little confused in his heart, how could he be so lazy and have such an urgent desire to work. It might be one thing to say that the current state of distress is one thing, but he feels that it is only a small part. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would at least have to weigh the pros and cons of a few days of work, and he would not reluctantly get out of the house until it was imminent...

Most of them, it seems to be the existence of Xiao Nan...

If you think about it carefully, it is a kind of affection that wants to be good to her, wants to take care of her, and cares for her. What makes Li Jing scratch her head the most is that kind of affection, which is completely unmixed with any admiration for being a rough female table.

That's a purer emotion...

What is the feeling?

...

After filling up and resting for a while, Li Jingjing lifted the faded yellow basin with a toothbrush towel and rubbed Xiao Nan's head, "Come, go brush your teeth with your father, remember to brush your teeth and wash your face when you get up in the morning, and pay attention to hygiene, but remember it!"

"Got it!" Xiao Nan listened very carefully and nodded his little head vigorously.

led Xiao Nan out of the hut.

When I came back yesterday, Li Jingjing had seen it. To the left of the bungalow rental house is a shared bathroom. In fact, it is not a bathroom, it is a simple hut made of stone bricks with only a showerhead. The door was a little broken, and it was quite dirty inside, compared to 10 years later, it really made him a little unable to accept this thing that passed the times, so that he fell asleep last night without washing.

Outside the bathroom, there is a long sink built on the wall, which is not very hygienic, which is used for washing.

Squeezing toothpaste, filling water, and washing his face, Li Jingjing taught Xiao Nan to complete the daily washing step by step.

A simple little thing, Li Jingqu'er seemed to have completed a very extraordinary achievement, and at such a moment, a very inexplicable thought suddenly flashed in his mind-

He wanted to start with Protestantism. Educate this daughter who is already a part of her own life from any words and deeds, and from all aspects of life. Make her a good, kind, perfect person...

Give her the best, change this embarrassing family belonging to the two, and let her live happily and happily!

....

The midday sun scorched the earth, and the heat seemed to freeze the air. Li Jing was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, walking in this steamer-like land, and the stingy summer was even more rarely cool, and soon he was roasted with a dry mouth and sweating.

In this world where the Internet was not accessible more than ten years ago, Li Jingjing is dazed and unfamiliar. Like a headless fly, he wandered around ramps, alleys, and intersections, stopping at new and old shops, or wandering into buildings and bustling streets...

It was a torturous afternoon for Li Jingjing.

Li Jing is looking for a job very carefully.

He had been to a clothing store that was short of employees, and in the suspicious eyes of the fashionably dressed salesperson at the front desk, he leaned up and asked, "Are you recruiting people here?" and then said in the salesperson's cold eyes, "I'm sorry, we are only recruiting female employees now", and finally left embarrassedly under the strange gaze cast by the crowded customer group from time to time.

Similarly, Li Jingjing did not let go of the regular large company that used a big white sign under the building and wrote in bright red font that said 'Personnel Department Recruits Employees', but fell under the human resources manager's sentence "What is your education?".

Li Jing naturally searched for all the information about his current identity at home before going out, but no matter how he searched for it, it seemed that it had been discarded or did not exist, and there was no such thing as a graduation certificate.

How should he respond?

Li Jingjing, who died of the idea of 'going to a large company to find a decent job', tossed and turned several times, and the search for nearly an hour was still a gray nose, mostly because the conditions did not match - no education, no work experience, no skills, not good at words...

Even the newly opened and popular supermarket that barely glanced at him was fiercely competitive, and he said that he would ask for a phone call and give a notice in a few days, so where would he get the call? He couldn't wait a few days!

Why is it so hard to find a job?

Isn't the future of work full of streets.... As long as you go online, 58 City, catch up with the network and look for it, no matter how bad it is, there is a person who can eat...

Dazed, hesitant.

Now Li Jing is hiding in the shadow of a low building on the side of the street, his clothes have long been soaked with sweat, the beads of sweat on his forehead are slowly rolling down, and his feet are like being filled with lead, and he can't afford to walk. He gasped and squinted his eyes to look around—how long had he been out, how many miles had he walked, so thirsty, so tired!

The sun is not as big as noon now, and a few breezes have made Li Jing enjoy a moment of coolness, and at the same time, his tired eyes have not missed every opportunity, and he still keeps looking around, trying to touch the recruitment sign again.

But it was close to evening.

It's time for him to go back, Xiao Nan is going to eat.

Didn't get a job today...
