I don't know how long it took, but when Chen Hao woke up, it was already dark.

He walked out of the station, came to the square of the railway station when it was ten o'clock in the evening, on the square, rows of tall street lamps illuminated the square very brightly, not far away a high-rise building flashed brilliant light, dazzling and colorful, the red light flashed, countless passengers from the station out of the station flocked to the city, countless pedestrians walked past him, both modern girls with eyebrows, as well as middle-aged men in bright suits and leather shoes, and there were also signs in their hands with accommodation, Middle-aged women renting houses and the like weave through the crowd.

They were looking for their prey, Chen Hao walked to the flower bed in the center of the square with his suitcase and sat down, looking at the scene in front of him that he could only see on TV before, at this moment vaguely appeared in front of his eyes, he was very excited, he said to the city in his heart: "Brother is here, you are at my feet, here I want to change the appearance of my family, mix up my personal appearance, and when I have money in the future, I will bring my parents to the city and let them enjoy Qingfu,."

He put down his luggage, stood on the edge of the flower bed, and excitedly said loudly towards the dazzling high-rise building Daxia in the distance: "iamthekingoftheworld".

Learning Jack's words in the movie, just as he was expressing his feelings here, his stomach was croaking uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of sleep.

At this time, a bloated middle-aged woman walked towards him, and saw that the woman's face was wrinkled, her body exuded a strong smell of perfume, and her face was wearing heavy makeup, although she asked, "Handsome guy, do you want to stay?"

The stiff smile still made those deep wrinkles reveal the true face of Lushan, Chen Hao was a little proud when he heard her say that he was a handsome guy, this was the first person to say that he was a handsome guy, he knew whether he was handsome or not, maybe, he didn't understand that in this city, whenever strangers greet others, or when they ask for help, they are called like that, men are called handsome guys, and women are called beauties.

Chen Hao asked, "How much?" ”。

The lady said, "It's not forty dollars!" ”。

Chen Hao was surprised and seemed to have a feeling of knife cutting, in his rural hometown, pork is eight yuan a catty, and forty is 5 catties of pork, which is equivalent to the cost of his family's cooking oil for a month, so Chen Hao said: "Can it be cheaper!" ”。

The woman's smile disappeared and said, "It's only forty and it's a bargain, I'm a fair price, and it's the same when I go somewhere else!" ”。

After speaking, she scanned Chen Hao with her two eyes that only had decades of reading experience, and saw a pair of washed and yellowed sneakers worn by Chen Hao, and a woolen sweater with some folds on top of jeans.

Chen Hao looked at the dark night and in this unaccompanied big city, except for the choice of whether to live or not, she looked at the silent Chen Haojue's business seemed to be out of play, just as she was about to leave.

Chen Hao said, "Okay. I'll stay! ”。 At this moment, the smile that disappeared from the middle-aged woman's face seemed to return, and she smiled and said, "That's right!" Come with me! She took Chen Hao's hand as she spoke.

She said: "I tell you lad, my accommodation here is absolutely safe, hygienic and provides 24-hour hot water!" ”。

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Really? ”。

The charter lady smiled, put her fat lips to Chen Hao's ear and said, "What about special services?"

Chen Hao didn't know what her so-called special services were, so he said, "No need! ”。

Living in a small room, eating bacon made by his parents, feeling very good, lying on the bed, he felt inexplicably helpless in the future, he didn't know where he would sleep tomorrow, how to find a job, he imagined that he might be able to find a job tomorrow, because although he was not a college graduate, his learning ability was so strong, and his body was so tall that it would not be a problem to find a job.

The next day, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, the street is full of traffic, a car is lined up in a long line on the street, the sidewalk, the trees are lush, the faces of the pedestrians are full of smiles, there are young men and women holding hands are hanging out, and there are also beautiful women in high heels when they walk and collide with the ground, making a rhythmic sound, making people feel ape in their hearts, Chen Hao walked through the bustling streets with his luggage to say a large talent market,

It was only nine o'clock in the morning that there was an endless stream of people looking for jobs, Chen Hao took his resume and his high school diploma to a recruitment front desk and sat down, the person in charge of the interview was a curly hair, a small mouth with thick lipstick, a face like a shelled egg, fair and smooth skin.

When he saw Chen Hao sitting down, he said, "May I ask what type of position do you want to apply for, sir!" Our company is now looking for front desk clerks, waiters and foremen."

Chen Hao said: "Waiter! ”。

The recruiter said, "Do you have any work experience?" ”。

Chen Hao said: "I didn't, I just came out of school!" ”。

"In that case, then show me your ID card, resume, and graduation certificate!" When she showed those documents to the girl, she looked at the documents and resumes with her sharp eyes for a few seconds, and then put the resumes on top of the resumes that had been placed with her slender hand.

said to Chen Hao: "Your conditions are basically met, wait for the notice, if you don't reply within a week, then you can find another job!" Please leave me the phone".

Chen Hao was a little worried and said: "Beauty, I'm sorry, I don't have a phone!" What should I do?"

The woman was a little surprised and said, "What! You don't have a mobile phone, then I'm sorry, it's your own problem, let's do it! Or you can leave a phone number from your friend! “。

Chen Hao's face turned even redder, because the people waiting for the interview next to him were all looking at him and said, "I'm sorry, I just came to Shenzhen and I don't have any other friends!" ”。

The recruitment lady was impatient and said, "Next! ”。

Chen Hao didn't know what the next one meant, or sat in the seat in front of the interview table, he still hoped to get that job, looking at Chen Hao in the seat, the woman was really angry and said: "You won't get up for a while, there are many people coming to the interview later!" ”。

He had no choice but to walk away silently with his head down at the moment.

After an afternoon of shopping in the talent market, those companies that recruit people either require a bachelor's degree, or require some technical ones, and the answers to several interviews are waiting for notices, or just sit down, and the interviewer said to him as soon as he saw his academic qualifications: "I'm sorry, our company only recruits college graduates,!" Chen Hao was just stupid! Out of the talent market,.

Chen Hao took out the money in his pocket and counted it as only three hundred and twenty-eight yuan and five cents, so he put the five cents in his trouser pocket, and the rest in another pocket, he didn't expect that finding a job outside was not as simple as he imagined, carrying his luggage alone and walking alone in this unaccompanied metropolis.

He didn't know where his next place was going, he didn't know where his next meal would be, and he walked down the streets of the bustling metropolis, looking at the hurried pedestrians walking past him and the vehicles moving on the wide road next to him, as if he were the loneliest person in the world.

He crossed an intersection and came to a big market, where it was almost crowded, there was a fortune teller along the street, the fortune teller was an elderly man in his fifties, wearing a pair of black glasses and sitting on a small horse, and there was a picture of a person's life on the ground in front of him.

Chen Hao came to a noodle stall and ate a bowl of noodles, the feeling of hunger was temporarily away from him, he got up and left to continue walking, suddenly not far in front of him came a "yellow hair" with almost all yellow hair, and two big earrings hanging on his ears, he was surprised to think that this person was really different.

Just when he was surprised by that person's appearance, Huang Mao bumped Chen Hao, and Huang Mao immediately said to Chen Hao: "I'm sorry, handsome guy, I didn't mean to!" ”。

Before the words fell, he hurriedly walked behind Chen Hao, Chen Hao originally thought: "You're welcome," let him show that he is a polite person, but unfortunately that Huang Mao didn't give him a chance to perform.

The little episode just now did not disturb his mood of appreciating this lively street market, as he walked, he saw a fruit stall with all kinds of fresh and new fruits, and suddenly felt that he was so thirsty, so he walked up and asked, "Boss, how do you buy that fruit?" ”。

The boss was a middle-aged man, he smiled and said to Chen Hao: "Five yuan a catty" Chen Hao was shocked and said: "Can it be cheaper!" The boss said, "No!" I can't even earn back the cost when it's cheap! "Forget it, don't buy it!" When Chen Hao said that he was about to leave, the man spoke: "Forget it, 4 yuan a pound will be sold to you!" Chen Hao felt that he had taken advantage of it, so he said, "Give me a catty!" He picked a few and weighed them for the boss, and the boss looked at them and said, "Just one pound,".

Just when Chen Hao took the fruit and took the money out of his pocket, he looked for a long time and didn't find it, so he changed his hand to look for it, but no matter how he looked for it, he only found five cents, so he had to say to the boss: "I'm sorry, my money was still there just now, I just ate a bowl of noodles, why is it that the work is gone after a while!" Forget it, I won't buy it! ”。

The boss began to get a little angry, and after hearing Chen Hao's narration, he didn't get angry, but said to him: "Will it be stolen!" ”。

At this time, Chen Hao, who was in a hurry, was sweating, he only remembered the yellow hair that hit him at this moment, and he now understood why that person left immediately after hitting him, Chen Hao scolded in his mouth, "I still have to say that it's okay!" I'm so naïve," he said, looking for the yellow hair, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time.

He hated that thief at the moment, why didn't he steal those rich people, but came to patronize such a poor bastard as himself!.

At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, just now it was still the scorching sun, at this moment there was a gust of wind not long after, there was thunder, and after a while, it rained, and began to rain drop by drop, and then the rain that fell immediately became a line, and it didn't take long for the line to get thicker and thicker, and it was pouring rain at this time, and before Chen Hao could recover from the loss of the first money, the rain forced him to run, carrying his luggage, and the rain fell on his body, and the rain he felt immediately seeped into his skin, He ran faster and came to the bottom of an overpass, the red lights on the street lit up the night brightly, and he watched the falling rain under the overpass, and the speeding cars on the road brought up the rain on the ground and splashed a huge amount of water.

He put the five-cent bill that was wet in the rain, he really didn't know what to do, when he first came to this city a few days ago, he was still ambitious, hoping that he could earn a lot of money, hoping that he could find someone he liked and the person who liked him to accompany him for a lifetime, but now he, when he was tired and squatted on the stone slab under the bridge.

He saw that there was also a person there not far away, only to see that person was unkempt, full of white hair, long white beard, closed eyes and recuperated, sitting on a broken stool and seemed to be practicing there like a person with strong martial arts in martial arts novels, Chen Hao looked at his appearance and smiled a little. There was a worn-out bowl on the ground in front of it, and there were several wrinkled one-dollar bills in it, and when Chen Hao's eyes were fixed on the broken bowl, .

The person on the other side also seemed to feel Chen Hao's every move, and said to himself: "I am a fallen person at the end of the world, why should we fry each other when we meet!" So he subconsciously took back the money in the bowl and tucked it in his underwear, Chen Hao sneered and said: "Even if I starve to death, I won't bully your bad old man," the white-haired old man said there again: "This son has backbone, good!" After a while, the white-haired old man packed up his things and left, only to see that the person's steps were light, not like an old man of seventy or eighty years old, and he disappeared into the rain after a while!

The rain outside the bridge is still falling, Chen Haojue's body is a little tired, he has been patriotic since he was a child, every time he sings the national anthem, he will cry, especially those few lines "Get up, get up and don't want to be a slave" In school, his parents taught him to be an honest and kind person, and he has been doing that all these years

The house leak happened to rain overnight, penniless, and it was raining at the moment, but who would love him at this moment! Who knows what happened to him at this moment, sleeping under the overpass, at this moment he really responded to the sentence that the sky is the quilt and the ground is the point of making a bed.

He put the jade pendant around his neck in his mouth and held it gently, feeling the salty smell of sweat, he prayed in his heart that the jade pendant could bring him luck, what would happen tomorrow, but he still burned a fire of hope in life,

"The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and do what they do, so they can't be tempted to endure it!" The reason why he loves to study liberal arts.

It is because he sees those people in history who started in cloth clothes and can eventually win the world, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang, etc., everyone has to experience the trough of life, and this moment may be the so-called period, he believes that as long as the flame of hope in his heart is not extinguished, as long as he is still walking on the road of life, he can finally find the road to the other side of happiness that can realize his dreams, so he slowly fell asleep.
