The dazzling sunlight and the noisy bird chirping finally woke Chen Lin ruthlessly from his sleep, he frowned, his eyes stared at the ceiling a little sluggishly, as if sarcastic, another night has passed, it seems that the sad day is about to start again?

It was impossible to lie down on his own deception anymore - and he was not in the mood to do so, and he was anxious to get out of his current predicament. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info holding the remaining half of the cigarette he smoked last time, slowly got up from the bed, and touched his trouser pocket, he never felt that life was so difficult. Counting a few steel hammers in his pocket, his total assets are now less than 10,000 lira (about 500 yuan), and soon, he will not even have money for food. He rolled over and sat up, a wire bed beneath him that couldn't have been simpler, squeaking and creaking. Chen Lin unconsciously pulled his slippers on the ground with his feet on the ground, and looked around.

The small room of less than six square meters seems empty, except for a writing desk and a wooden chair placed by the landlord, there is only the spring bed he is sitting on now, things are very old, the black paint on the surface of the table and chair has long been worn out, revealing light-colored wood grain, and the spring bed is even more rusty, Chen Lin is very suspicious, maybe he shakes it twice, and the bed will be completely scrapped.

Chen Lin reached out and touched it at this time, and took out a watch from under the pillow - it was when he had just graduated from sports school, Yin Mei used her salary for two months to buy this watch for him, "You will join the work in the future, and it will look good for a long time, and you will think of me when you see it......" Yin Mei's snow-white face was indescribably ruddy when she spoke, revealing infinite shyness.

Seeing this, Chen Lin finally had a little strength and began to wash up. But then he saw himself in the mirror on the wall, with a scruffy and unkempt beard, his head like a bird's nest, his skin a sickly white, and his two eye sockets sunken and unusually decadent. When you think of Yin Mei, you will unconsciously think of Yin Mei's family background, although Yin's father is only a deputy director of the provincial government office, but he is not from a rural area, and he can climb high without a serious job. The only time he came to the door, Chen Lin was very impressed.

The more you deliberately don't think about it, the more it looks to its heart. I remember that when I went abroad, the fellow villagers who introduced them to sign the labor contract said how beautiful it was abroad, and Chen Lin still remembers what the big fat man said. "Lin Zi, tell you, those gringos are stupid hats, they make a lot of money, and if they mix there for two or three years, they can make money to buy a car, buy a house, and marry a daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that you were my fellow countryman, I wouldn't have left such a good thing to you. As if he felt that the incitement was not enough, he paused and said, "And this time I introduced you to a large company, which is also one of the few companies in Italy, I heard that it is still a listed company, with good benefits and high benefits, if it is mixed well, the annual salary will not be 180,000." The big fat man's Mandarin with a local accent made him dizzy. The words are still in my ears, but in just half a year, a large company that is said to be a listed company is finished? On the first working day after Christmas, there was news of the company's acquisition, followed by bad news such as the company's dismantling and selling, layoffs, etc., and the big fat man who signed a temporary contract with Chen Lin and a few people to join the company suddenly evaporated.

It turned out that the company was trapped in funds because of a big project, and as a result, it was sniped by a large investment company on the stock market, and it was acquired after a short period of resistance. Subsequently, the company was split into multiple parts and sold, and Chen Lin, who only signed a simple labor contract, naturally had no way to live.

It looks like we have to get a job, but what do we do? In China, because he graduated from a sports school, he has not found a job since the disbandment of the city sports team, so he signed a cheap labor contract to come to Italy, and he also did the work of selling coolies, and even after the visa expired, because he did not return to China on time, he could only work as a black market laborer, did he have to do the work of cleaning the sewers like those fellow villagers? Chen Lin, who had been reading for a few days, couldn't help but be a little unwilling.

He sighed heavily, and his mind returned to his eyes, what should he do today? Look at the watch, it's only eight o'clock, and the time is not "like electricity" and the years are not "like a shuttle". Before, he wandered the streets every day under the pretext of going into the city to look for a job, and then ...... Then I don't want to do anything, anyway, I have to get rid of it today. Tomorrow? What to do tomorrow? He shook his head, and said tomorrow's business tomorrow. Chen Lin smiled wryly and took out a shirt that looked quite new from the suitcase under the bed. In this world, you have to dress up when you go out on the streets, otherwise the policemen in Italy will look at themselves like thieves.

The landlord, Zhang Cuifang, was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, and didn't speak when she saw Chen Lin coming out.

"The landlady...... If you find a job in two days, I will make up the rent for you immediately. Saying this with a humble heart, even Chen Lin himself didn't expect it to play any role, in the memory of this body, the other party was not easy, orphans and widows, almost living on the rent.

Zhang Cuifang's eyes didn't leave the TV, just nodded lightly and responded.

With the dull sound of the door closing, the smile on Zhang Cuifang's face was slowly replaced by disappointment, in fact, she was waiting for Chen Lin to come out of the living room today to give an ultimatum, but when she saw Chen Lin's embarrassed and cramped expression, she was really ruthless.

"Mom, you didn't tell him again?" Her daughter Li Youyue, who had been in the bedroom, was obviously also concerned about this matter, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice through the hidden door. Zhang Cuifang sighed and muttered: "They are all Chinese, in this foreign country, if you can help it, you can help it." Although she didn't see it, she could still think of her daughter's expression when she heard her words, it must be a flat mouth, and then said, "Mom, you are soft-hearted......"

"Mom, you're soft-hearted!" Li Youyue walked out with the book in her arms and said hatefully, "Do people like him deserve sympathy?" Besides, if we sympathize with him, who will sympathize with us! This person hasn't paid rent this year, and you still live here with him? We used to be so good to him, and we asked him to eat some delicious food! Does he think we owe it to him? The more Li Youyue spoke, the more angry she became, and she spat viciously.

……

Chen Lin lives in a neighborhood near Florence, Italy, the second ring road just passes from the edge of the town, because of the convenient transportation and low land prices, the far-sighted and well-informed real estate company has already extended its tentacles here, fanfare to draw their own territory, everywhere is demolition, everywhere is construction site, everywhere is "noble residential area" and "fashion community" huge billboards. With the influx of residents, the once modest neighborhood has become more prosperous, and residents have converted their houses into shops, either for their own or for rent.

Summer started early this year, and it was only early April, and the blazing heat began to spray unreservedly and unreservedly, and the whistling trucks rolled up clouds of brown dust in the sky, and even the pedestrians and shops across the road were hazy.

After buying two of the cheapest hot dogs at a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road, Chen Lin nibbled and pondered whether to walk to the labor market — which would take more than an hour — or take the bus, and finally made up his mind to save the 200 lire for the car. Just go like this, he has nothing to do anyway, just spending time on the journey back and forth, and most importantly, he is already very tight on money, and he really doesn't know what to do if he can't find a job next week.

It's best to have a daily wage system, otherwise you have to worry about whether the money in your pocket can last until you get paid...... After eating the hot dog, he stuffed the plastic bag into a filthy garbage can, and Chen Lin picked up a newspaper left by someone else on the roadside bench, maybe he could try his luck at the place where he was recruiting, maybe he could find something to do there first. He doesn't have much extravagance, as long as he can pay off the rent owed to the Liu family and have enough to eat, it doesn't matter what he does.

I hope that my parents will bless me in the spirit of heaven, and I will be lucky enough to find a good errand today, Chen Lin secretly prayed when he opened the newspaper. Who can say clearly, this is a rapidly developing society, this is a rapidly changing city, this is a new life, anything can happen......
