It's almost the New Year, and Ye Ziyu happily returned to his hometown from the small town in the south. He also decided to go north next year and look for a new job. He has to be with Li Xin, the taste of a long-distance relationship is too uncomfortable and too unrequited. However, he was also a little worried about how to tell his family, especially his father.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his son's words, Ye Chengxuan did not object. I just thought about it for a while before telling my son that if I went to the capital to find a job, my family wouldn't be able to help me at all, so I had to rely on myself. In addition, the competition in the workplace is fierce, and the capital is still prosperous, so he should also have more skills. If you really want to go to the capital to develop, then before you go, do you first learn your driver's license, and then get the national computer grade certificate? Ye Ziyu saw that his father was reasonable, and immediately nodded.

After the Spring Festival, Ye Ziyu returned to the south and immediately went to the driving school and computer tutoring class to register respectively. His work in the factory here is still very easy, and he has enough spare time to learn for a driver's license and computer exams. He thought, his father was right, after going to the capital, he was afraid that he really didn't have this time. He told Li Xin about it, and Li Xin also agreed very much. Although in this way, the time for their reunion has to be postponed, but after the twists and turns in the relationship between the two, they are stronger than Jinshi, as long as they no longer ignore each other unreasonably, no one can break them up.

Time has passed, and in August of this year, Ye Ziyu got his driver's license, and the national computer grade was also successfully passed, and he obtained a first-class certificate. Everything was over, he resigned from the factory, packed his luggage, and prepared to go north. Ye Ziyu calculated that he had worked for a year, in addition to various expenses, he also saved 2,000 yuan, and after he first arrived in the capital, he could withstand it for a while, he was quite satisfied. Unexpectedly, inadvertently, I went on a business trip again.

Ye Ziyu bought a ticket to leave three days later, and went to the food stall with Lao Liu and other fellow villagers to drink this night, and after midnight, he went back to the dormitory to sleep with seven points of drunkenness. His dormitory was a long, narrow single room, about two or three square meters, and there was nothing else except a table, a chair and a bed. After Ye Ziyu went back, he fell asleep. Because the summer in the small southern town is stuffy and damp, Ye Ziyu has the windows open. He slept until midnight, feeling something moving in the room in a daze, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't keep them open. It wasn't until he woke up in the morning and was about to get dressed and go out that he found that his pants couldn't be found! Ye Ziyu clearly remembered that after he came back last night, he took off his clothes and pants and put them on the chair, how could it be gone, such a small house, even if it had long legs, it had nowhere to run? He looked around, and when he glanced at it, he saw that his pants were actually thrown out of the window, and he immediately reacted: It's broken, it's been robbed! Hurriedly followed out to pick up the pants, and when he touched it, the wallet was long gone. Looking around again, his ID card was lost around the corner, he hurriedly ran over to pick it up, and went back to the house to check, a count of losses, 2,000 yuan in cash and a ticket were all gone!

Ye Ziyu's face turned the color of pork liver, and he hurriedly woke up Lao Liu. As soon as the two of them discussed, let's report the case first. So Lao Liu rolled out his bicycle and picked up Ye Ziyu and hurriedly rode to the police station.

Ye Ziyu went to the police station for the first time to report the case. He rushed into the hall in a panic, and when he saw a policeman, he said, "He has been robbed, how can he report the case?" The policeman saw that he was sweating profusely and panting, so he led him to a desk and sat down, and asked him what was the matter and what he had lost? But after Ye Ziyu said that he had lost a total of about 2,500 yuan, the policeman's expression was obviously slack, and he didn't even plan to make the prepared notes. So the policeman said he knew, got up and walked away, but no one paid attention to Ye Ziyu anymore. After a while, the director in charge of administration in the factory came, and I don't know who alarmed him. The director is a local, and after asking Ye Ziyu about the situation, he pulled him out of the door, and reluctantly told him that the amount was too small, and the police couldn't look down on Ben, so they didn't want to file a case, so they told him not to report the case, it was useless. The director said that since the "going to the sea" became hot, the number of foreigners in this place has increased several times compared with the local population, and there are many cases of robbery and drug abuse every day, and who has not been stolen? This is nothing, so let's go back.

Ye Ziyu thought to himself, these two thousand yuan may be nothing to others, but it is terrible for me now, what should I take to the capital? However, the police in front of him were busy, and no one paid attention to him. Although he was uncomfortable, he could only follow the director back to the factory. The boss of the factory was generous, and after learning that Ye Ziyu had lost all his money, he called him to comfort him, saying that this is in this place, it is abnormal that he has not lost money and has not been robbed, so that he does not need to be depressed, and then asked the finance to give Ye Ziyu an additional 900 yuan, which can be regarded as supporting him.

After returning to the room, Ye Ziyu was unwilling, and wanted to take the money, why did you steal my train ticket, and get the refund window to refund the ticket? So he ran to the refund window of the train station to guard for a long time, naturally, this is no different from fishing for thorium in a haystack, he got nothing, so he had to spend more than 400 yuan to buy a new ticket. Ye Ziyu thought, fucking bad luck, if the train changes to the real-name system like an airplane, this thief will be easy to catch. At least it didn't work for him to steal my ticket. In this way, Ye Ziyu came to the capital with the only remaining five hundred yuan. It's time to start a new struggle in an unfamiliar city.

After all, Beijing is the capital, the center of the country, and a place with a high concentration of first-class talents. It's not so easy to mix and eat in this place. Ye Ziyu thought of a story, in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi sought fame, went to Chang'an for the first time, and went to visit the senior poets. As soon as he looked at his name, he joked: "Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in vain." But after reading Bai Juyi's "Wildfires Burn Inexhaustibly, Spring Breeze Blows and Grows", he immediately praised: "If you can write such a poem, you are not afraid that Chang'an rice will be expensive, and you will definitely have a good development here." ”

Ye Ziyu thought to himself, I don't know what kind of chance he will have when he comes to the capital? He first rented a hut of about four square meters in the western suburbs, not far from Li Xin's school, and lived in it with a monthly rent of 160 yuan. The cottage had two benches with a plank to make a bed, a chair and a desk with two drawers, and that was all there was to it. The room is only connected to a running water pipe, which can be used for washing, and urine and urine must be run to the public toilet 100 meters away. Fortunately, others are young and angry, and they wash with cold water, and slowly get used to it.

Li Xin is in her last school year, and her homework is relaxed, so she finds a part-time job in a company. Although he didn't have much money, the pressure in Ye Ziyu's heart could be slightly lighter.

Without further ado, Ye Ziyu's first job was in a direct selling company. At that time, the so-called direct selling was to carry goods through the streets and alleys and sell them directly to consumers. Ye Ziyu worked for a while, running around various office buildings, and was chased by the security guards countless times, and not a penny of goods was sold. On one occasion, he went out with two sets of kitchen knives, sneaked into an office building without the security guards noticing, and saw only two women in an office, so he mustered up the courage to go in and sell to people. He originally lacked sales experience and courage, but after entering, he saw the woman looking at him strangely, and he didn't know how to introduce it. He didn't speak for a while, and directly pulled out a knife, which means that I am selling kitchen knives, do you think you want it? Who knows that this move scared the people in the office a lot, what is this for? What about robbery in broad daylight? After they figured out Ye Ziyu's intention, they were so angry that they threw themselves out and drove this kid out of the door.

Ye Ziyu can't, his character can't do such a job anyway, it's really difficult for him, no way, he had to withdraw after a week, not to mention that he didn't earn a penny, and he also paid the travel expenses.

In late autumn, the temperature in the capital drops rapidly, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Ye Ziyu's heart became more and more panicked. Rice is expensive in the capital, and it is not easy to live in vain. He is now renting a bungalow in the western suburbs, and the rent is very cheap, but this type of room needs to be heated by his own stove in winter, Ye Ziyu grew up in Jincheng since he was a child, how could he do this? When it really enters winter, if his house is not heated, he will wait to freeze to death. Fortunately, he still has a rice cooker, which can boil a pot of hot water to warm his hands at night. What I didn't expect was that the voltage in this hut couldn't even withstand a rice cooker, and it didn't burn it twice, but it burned the insurance. This wire is connected to the landlord's family in the backyard of the house, so the landlord came out to reprimand him, saying Are you burning the electric stove, Ye Ziyu said no, just a rice cooker. The landlord said very unhappily, the rice cooker is not good, don't you see the insurance burned?

Ye Ziyu thought, I really can't stay here, I have to talk to Li Xin and help me find a place to live.
