Chapter 4: Difficult Decisions

Li Hao felt that Yang Qianxun would not go with him. At the beginning, Yang Qianxun had no intention of supporting his decision, thinking of this, a deep sense of loss surged in his heart, leaving Shenzhen, leaving Qianxun, can they still be together in the future? Is it worth it to lose Chihiro in order to start a business? Life is always faced with multiple choices, and a famous person once said, "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." "Is this an opportunity? Li Hao has never been indecisive, from the first day he came to Shenzhen to work, he set a goal for himself, he must mix up here and show his father! Li Hao's home is in a small county town in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, graduated from the police academy, and has a job at home where his family looks very good. When Li Hao was going to Shenzhen, his parents resolutely disagreed, because of this, his father ignored him for more than half a month, and his mother started to work as a peacemaker, persuading him over and over again, lobbying between father and son, and most importantly, trying to persuade Li Hao, "It's not fun to go out alone, no family to take care of, no friends and relatives, it will be difficult to live, doesn't it mean that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out for a while?" If you don't have a good cop at home, why go out and suffer that hardship?" But Li Hao insisted on leaving, there was no way, half a month later, seeing that Li Hao's attitude had not changed, his father no longer insisted. Li Hao took the 1,000 yuan he had saved up and left home on the road, before going out, his father pulled his face and said: "The money is running out, you still haven't found a suitable job, just come back!" Didn't you quit your job? Wait and do it before you regret it. ”

Li Hao didn't want to come back at all, and he didn't go through the resignation formalities because the director of the police station repeatedly kept him and didn't do it for him, but just gave him a month's vacation, saying that he would let him go out for a walk and have a look, and then go back to work.

Sure enough, when he only had 100 yuan left in his pocket, he still couldn't find a suitable job. Later, in order to have food, Li Hao also saved 15 yuan a day for hotel accommodation, and stayed in the park at night, once very late, he lay on the wooden chair in the park and did not fall asleep, the patrol police flashlight into the park, Li Hao jumped up, climbed a tree next to him, and stayed for more than ten minutes to make sure that the police had gone away before daring to slip down from the tree. Lying on a wooden chair in the park, thinking about the warmth of home, my embarrassment, my nose was sore, and I almost shed tears. But he can't go back, tomorrow he will continue to squeeze the talent market, continue to look for a job, even if he is penniless, he must find a way to survive, others can, he can. Later, when I stabilized, I learned that in fact, many male migrant workers have that kind of experience, some live in parks with Li Hao, and some live in bridges and caves, as long as they can shelter from the wind and rain, they are the initial helpless habitat choices of migrant workers. One of the colleagues was even more outrageous, living for several days in the hut where the locals laid the ashes in the nearby mountains, just to protect the hut from the wind and rain. The migrant workers got together and talked about the experience of coming to Guangdong at the beginning, which was also a bitter tear!

The most recruited position in Shenzhen is salesman, when he first came, Li Hao didn't want to do sales, and he had no experience in other jobs, so he looked for it, but couldn't find a suitable one. Forced to re-enter the talent market, Li Haotou's resume is all sales, through the interview, Li Hao entered an electrical company as a salesman, with his own intelligence, gained a lot of experience and skills in sales, and later, jumped to the current electrical company, directly sat in the position of sales director, and met his current girlfriend Yang Qianxun.

Li Hao took out his ID card, he was thirty-three years old, he went to Shenzhen at the age of twenty-three, ten years have passed, and he still has achieved nothing! How many decades of my life do I have left to struggle? Now that I've made a decision, I'm still going to go, and as for my dear Chihiro, she won't be angry all the time, so I'll come back and pick her up when she stabilizes.

On Sunday, Yang Qianxun was waiting for Li Hao's call, what did he think? I didn't give him a clear answer, do you want to give up on me, or give up going to Qinghai? At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Li Hao's phone arrived, "Qianxun, a group of buddies give us a meal, are you coming?" I've been at the office at noon because I'll be leaving tomorrow to hand over to the new director. Hearing that Chihiro didn't react, Li Hao asked again, "Are you coming?" Will you come over by yourself or will I pick you up? ”

Listening to Li Hao's words, Yang Qianxun was very angry, it seems that he didn't take me to heart, whether I go or not will not affect his plans and decisions, he said to go, he didn't need my opinion, and never cared about my feelings! "I'm not going, you can eat!" After saying this, Yang Qianxun hung up the phone. Thinking that Li Hao was about to leave him, and the relationship of more than three years was lost like this, there was a kind of unexplained sadness in his heart, and Yang Qianxun's tears welled up in his eyes.

Yang Qianxun called his friend Xiaofan, who met Qianxun when he first came to Guangdong to work. Yang Qianxun lived with distant relatives in Huizhou, and was introduced by relatives to work in an electronics factory in Huizhou City. The dormitory of the factory is quite clean, that is, a dormitory of eight girls is a little crowded, in a two-layer bed near the door, Xiaofan sleeps in the lower bunk, and Chihiro sleeps in the upper bunk. Xiaofan is a native of Hunan, is the kind of girl who is very quiet, always smiling when she speaks, never loud and noisy, from her you can feel the environment she was in before and a good family upbringing. Xiao Fan is very beautiful, as soon as she arrives at the factory, she becomes the target of many boys, and in private the boys respect her as the factory flower, so every time she goes out, Xiao Fan pulls Qianxun by her side, Yang Qianxun has become her shield, and the two have become good friends. Xiaofan is delicate, sensitive and kind, very good to his friends, and even more patient with Chihiro. Once at night, after the whole dormitory went to bed, Chihiro still followed the old habit of lying on the bed and reading a book, this time I read "Notre Dame de Paris", and I saw the part that describes the bell ringer, which is terrifying! Frightened, Chihiro threw the book from the top bunk to the ground at once, all the roommates slept, Xiaofan heard the noise, and immediately got up in a daze, and whispered "Chihiro, Chihiro, are you dreaming?" You okay? "Feeling Xiaofan's care, Yang Qianxun in fear is very grateful." Are you okay? Xiao Fan still asked her with concern, Yang Qianxun simply got up and said, "It's okay, I read the book and saw the horror place, I'm a little scared!" ”

"I'll pour you a glass of water to drink, and then go to sleep, otherwise it will be even harder to fall asleep." Saying that, Xiao Fan got out of bed, picked up Chihiro's cup, poured a glass of boiled water and gave it to Chihiro, Chihiro simply got out of bed, got into Xiao Fan's quilt, pestered her and chatted for a long time, chatting and chatting I don't know when the two of them fell asleep in a daze.

If two people don't go out to work, they may never meet, but by chance, they become good friends. Later, the two of them jumped to other companies, and then Yang Qianxun entered the current company, but Xiaofan has never left since he left the original small electronics factory and entered another plastic factory, from an ordinary clerk in the quality inspection department to the manager of the quality inspection department of the factory, not without hard work, although still gentle, but also showing a firm side of his character. No matter how their jobs change, the friendship and connection between the two has never stopped.

Yang Qianxun said: "The Buddha said that the previous life looked back 500 times, only in exchange for a passing in this life, Xiaofan, you said that the fate of the two of us, did you make your neck crooked in your previous life?" Xiao Fan didn't say anything when he smiled, and Li Hao said loudly: "My previous life was really bitter!" I have been praying in front of the Buddha for 5,000 years!" All of a sudden, Chihiro and Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh.

In the afternoon, Xiaofan came to Yang Qianxun's dormitory. followed her, and there is also a handsome guy, who is Xiaofan's boyfriend. When the two girls sat together, Yang Qianxun poured out all the things she had done in the past few days, and basically didn't have much time to pay attention to Xiaofan's boyfriend. After listening to Yang Qianxun's story, Xiao Fan looked at his boyfriend, then walked over and sat beside him to hold his hand, and said to Yang Qianxun quietly: "Qianxun, I'm afraid you don't leave, we have to say goodbye, I have decided to leave Shenzhen with him and return to Hunan, we will go back to our hometown to develop, and no longer wander outside." Are you sure you love Li Hao? If you love him, are you willing to give up your feelings for more than three years? Is Shenzhen really so worthy of your nostalgia? Yang Qianxun thought for a while and said, "I love him, but what he wants to go to is Qinghai!" ”

"If you don't want to give up, you'll be with him wherever he goes, won't you?" Xiao Fan looked at her boyfriend with a smile on her face.

Time passed minute by minute in the debate between the two sides, and seeing that the time was already past five o'clock, Xiaofan pulled her boyfriend and prepared to leave. "Chihiro, I don't know when we will meet again when we are separated this time, no matter where you are in the future, don't cut off contact!" Saying that, tears slowly overflowed in Xiao Fan's eyes, causing Yang Qianxun's tears to surge out, I originally wanted to leave the two of them to eat together, but I thought that I was not in any mood at all, and I saw that Xiao Fan had no intention of staying, so I didn't say it.

Sending away Xiaofan and the two, Yang Qianxun walked on the street by himself, looking at the endless crowd on the street of Shenzhen, he didn't know where he should go, and when he returned to the dormitory, he was bored by himself, looking for Li Hao and feeling that he bowed his head first, and he was unwilling, so he walked around, tried on clothes, shoes, tried one after another, and finally bought a small leather bag before walking back to the dormitory slowly.

It was another sleepless night, Li Hao's phone rang at five o'clock in the morning, Yang Qianxun had just fallen asleep in the haze, picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Hao's, so he picked it up. "Chihiro, I'm leaving soon, you stay first, I'm ready, and then I'll come back to pick you up, okay?"

"Hao, don't leave me!" At this time, Yang Qianxun clearly knew that she wanted to go with Li Hao, she couldn't leave herself here, she couldn't be separated from Li Hao, and after speaking, she threw down the phone and began to pack her things.

Half an hour later, before dawn, Yang Qianxun walked to the gate of the company dormitory with his simple luggage, there was silence in the guard room, and the faint electric lights at the gate illuminated the surroundings were more quiet, in this city where catharsis for at least 18 hours a day was more than 18 hours, Yang Qianxun felt for the first time that loneliness is everywhere. The doorman Xiao Liu was lying on the table and hadn't woken up yet, Yang Qianxun pulled the suitcase and opened the door gently, accompanied by a shadow that grew longer and longer under the shadow of the lamp. When he walked to the street, he stopped a taxi and drove towards Li Hao's residence.

Yang Qianxun arrived at Li Hao's community, got out of the car and went to the door of the unit, and rang the doorbell suddenly, but no one opened the door for a long time, and the sadness in Yang Qianxun's heart could not be suppressed, it seems that Li Hao is gone, left here, I still stayed here by myself, sitting at the door, leaning on the unit door, Yang Qianxun's tears came out of his eyes again, and the phone rang, "Qianxun, are you still in the dormitory?" I'm here to pick you up. Li Hao's voice came out of the phone, it turned out that they missed on the road and went to each other's residence.

"Hao, I'm downstairs from you, downstairs from the house you sold." Yang Qianxun wiped away his tears, let out a sigh of relief, pulled his suitcase, and walked to the door of the community where he got off the bus.
