I was handing out flyers and looking for other jobs. To save money, I skip meals in the morning and only ask for the cheapest meal at a roadside food stall at noon and evening. Fortunately, in the summer, I slept on the flyover or on the roadside bench every night, and I tried my best to reduce my expenses, even if it was a daily rental, it would cost at least 20 yuan a day!
It went on for a few days, but I still didn't find a job to eat. During this time, my mom called and asked how I was doing, but could I tell the truth? I can't. People who work hard outside the home, which one faces the inquiry of the family members will report the good news but not the bad news, because reporting the worries has no effect except making the family more worried.
Instead of worrying your family, it is better to put your family at ease. So I can only say against my will, everything is fine outside, and I will soon earn money to help my family pay off the debt, so that my mother can pay attention to her body and not work too hard!
The words of comfort to my mother have not become a reality. I never imagined that in such a short period of time, I would fall to such a point. On the one hand, it is difficult to move forward in the big cities, and on the other hand, once the words have been spoken, it is already difficult to recover, and I absolutely cannot return to the countryside now.
In the face of adversity, there is always a turnaround. The timely appearance of a person helped me out of the predicament.
On this day, I was still handing out flyers at the corner of the street, when I suddenly heard a voice "Lanzer, why are you here?" ”
I looked up and saw that it was none other than Hu Xudong who called me. Xudong is also my hair small, one year higher than me, and was admitted to an undergraduate college in the provincial capital last year. Out of a man's shame, I didn't tell Xudong that I had come to the provincial capital before, because I was afraid that Xudong would look down on me if he knew that I worked in a nightclub.
After leaving the nightclub, I watched myself get mixed up so much, and I didn't want anyone to know my embarrassment, but I didn't expect that at this moment, I would actually meet Xudong here.
Now that Xudong has seen my downfall, what else is there to hide between brothers? At the moment, I no longer look for excuses to deceive Xudong, and I told Xudong what happened to me recently.
The more Xu Dong listened, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but punch me, and said angrily: "You are all mixed up like this, you still carry it yourself, do you take me as a brother, why don't you call me." ”
I sighed before I said, "You're in college, what can you do, besides, I don't want to trouble you." ”
Xudong stared at me for a long time, with a faint anger in his eyes, and said loudly: "What are you talking about, what do you mean by not wanting to trouble me, I'm not afraid of trouble, if you treat me as a brother, don't say this kind of thing in the future." ”
That night, Xu Dong and I had dinner at a nearby restaurant, I thought that Xu Dong was helping me distribute flyers today, and I couldn't help it, so I changed my frugality and asked for two dishes and a bundle of draft beer.
Xu Dong looked at me, feeling a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "Lan Ze, I really didn't expect that you would fall to this point today." I thought you could get into college this year, but I didn't expect ......."
I poured down a glass of wine in one go, and said the words that had been held in my heart for a long time: "Don't say anything, it's no wonder that others, the poor in the family are all jingling, can I still tell my parents that I want to go to college?" A few of the rural children went to college, and most of them started working before graduating from high school or even junior high school, and it was good for my family to let me finish high school. ”
Xudong sighed, thinking about what I said, it is also reasonable, the countryside is already poor and backward, many families are still stuck in the food and clothing line, plus many parents are feudal, they hope that their children will work as soon as possible, so as to reduce the burden on the family. When I said I didn't want to go to college, my family went with the flow.
Although it was useless for Xudong to ask, he still asked out of common sense, "How is my uncle?" ”
I shook my head, there seemed to be tears in my eyes, and my voice was a little sad: "What else, lying on the bed, it's just that my mother is suffering, and I can't take care of my father at home, the family is a mess now, and I can't do it without making money, my mother can only work during the day and change my father at night." Alas, it's also useless, my mother is still full of pointing out that I can earn money to help the family, but she doesn't know that it is a problem for me to even support myself outside. ”
Because it touched my heart, although I tried my best to endure it, tears still broke through my eyes and flowed.
Xudong patted me on the shoulder and persuaded me in a low voice: "Don't cry, I know you're having a hard time now, you don't have a formal job, and you don't have a place to live." I rented a room outside the school, you can come and live with me first, about work, I asked my classmates to ask, no matter what, I will definitely help you find a job. ”
At the end of the meal, both of us were already a little drunk, and I pulled out my wallet to settle the bill. Xudong thought that I had fallen to this point, how could I break the bank, so I should settle the bill myself. At the moment when I was about to stretch out my hand to stop me, I thought that I was stubborn by nature, and his stop might make me think that he looked down on me, and finally I settled the account.
The two of us helped each other to Xudong's residence, but fortunately, there were two single beds in Xudong's rented house, and I slept in the single bed that was idle.
Xu Dong stayed in the provincial capital for a year, and he was also a little familiar with the provincial capital, and he also knew some people, so the next day he called his classmates everywhere to ask if there was a way out for my business, and he also went to the recruitment network to search for jobs. Under the rush of Xudong, I finally found a job as an assembly line worker in a private printing factory.
The factory only works day shifts, and it doesn't care about food and housing, and it's also very hard, but fortunately, the salary is okay, and you can live here in Xudong temporarily, although I said that I shared the rent with Xudong, but Xudong refused, and only said that I would earn money to help my family pay off the debts first, and the matter of rent would not be too late later.
Of course, I know that with my current salary, even if I try my best to save money, I can barely pay off all my foreign debts in three years. If I pay off my foreign debts first and talk about the rent later, I'm afraid that it will be three years later, Xudong obviously wants me to live in this house for nothing, but he can't bear to hurt my self-esteem, so he found this excuse.
With that, I regained my confidence and went to work full of hope. However, fate seems to like to torment those who are already living in the quagmire, as if there is no hope for their lives, and as long as there is a sign of improvement, the cold water of fate will pour down again, making them fall into the quagmire again.
The assembly line work is boring, and I am responsible for a paper-cutting process, which requires the papercutter to stand in front of the cutting machine for a day, repeating the actions of taking the paper, putting the paper, and pressing the cutting button. To be honest, I don't like this job, but there are many things in life that you can't do without doing it. Family responsibilities and the pressures of life have forced me to take up this job.
After a long time of boring days, it is inevitable that everyone will be in a bad mood. One day, when I was cutting paper step by step, I suddenly heard a quarrel in the workshop, I stopped my movements, turned my head to look, and scolded Huang Can and Wang Hu, a third-line bookbinder.
