The next day, Xiao Yu felt a terrible headache again. The strange nightmares that I had been doing so often lately have resurfaced. Savor the strange scenes in the dream, which made him feel like he was real...

Seeing that tomorrow is Monday, Xiao Yu has sent dozens of resumes in the past two days, praying that there will be an interview notice on Monday.

When I came back that day, I paid the landlord in advance for the next month's rent and utilities. I'm afraid that Su Xinya will call again in the past few days, and even his own money will be scavenged, so he can only sleep on the streets... No, I don't have to sleep on the streets, because the blind flow in the magic capital has been very tight recently.

After a few days, the resume was lost. Xiao Yu was irritable, seeing that the money in his pocket was about to run out, and the trouble of not having banknotes as confidence made his life tremble. In this society where money is king, the first correlation is survival, and he also thought about going back to his hometown if he couldn't do it, where there will always be a bowl of rice to eat. However, the hard work of the past two years and the very good language that he said on the phone every time he talked to his family that he was mixed in the big demon made him blush. He no longer has the face, and when he returned to his hometown at a very miserable stage, it makes people laugh and be generous.

After waiting for another two days, there was still no news, and the money had been spent. Su Xinya hasn't even called to greet her in the past few days, and Xiao Yu can't talk about any desire for love between men and women at this time. In desperation, I had to sell my computer very cheaply to maintain my recent expenses.

After staying at home for a few days, I felt that the recruitment news would not come again, so I had to get up and go outside to try my luck. Walking on the street at will, some stores have some job advertisements, almost all of them are waiters, Xiao Yu has never been interested in these positions, and almost all of these positions are applied for by people who have no education and no work experience in the nearby countryside.

After a day of wandering, nothing was gained. In the evening, I came to a small shop and asked for a basket of steamed buns, and an egg soup was considered dinner.

When I returned to the living room, I saw that my roommates were all tired, lazily lying on the bed and playing with their mobile phones.

A roommate asked, "Xiao Yu, is there any news today?"

Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Some positions are cleaned by dishes in restaurants without academic qualifications, and I can't do it." ”

The roommate tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yu and said, "If you don't have a degree to clean up?" hehe, it is a blessing from God to give you a living space, what kind of education class are you talking about at this time." After speaking, he smiled coldly.

Xiao Yu was stunned after hearing this, and the arrogance in his bones couldn't help but be gloomy under the reflection of this sentence.

It's been almost a week, there is no news about the job search, and Xiao Yu has almost exhausted the food in his pocket, barely enough to eat and drink for a day. Panic, panic in the face of survival. It's not his style to borrow money to get by, and he doesn't want to lose his dignity to look at other people's strange eyes for a few meals and drinks.

Walking down the street with figures weaving, my face full of frustration... Suddenly saw a recruitment advertisement, which said 'Recruit a water delivery worker', Xiao Yu couldn't help but touch his trouser pocket, gritted his teeth and went in.

In a façade room, a desk with a few simple telephones and a computer, a chubby middle-aged woman saw someone come in and asked, "Do you want water?"

"I saw that I was looking for a plumber here, and I came to apply. Xiao Yu blushed, lowered his head to the ground and muttered.

The middle-aged woman looked Xiao Yu up and down, "You send water, little brother, do you know that this is a hard job, just your body?"

Hearing the other party's words with some ridicule, Xiao Yu raised his head and said a little angrily: "Eldest sister, don't judge people by their appearance, there is no problem at all." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she grinned and said, "Don't be angry, little brother, if you are willing to send it, I will tell you the rules here." We pay 200 yuan a day and send 200 barrels of water every day.

"Okay, there is no problem" at least it can solve the problem of eating by yourself, Xiao Yu agreed.

The middle-aged woman saw that Xiao Yu agreed, so she continued: "As for me, I am the proprietress here, in order to ensure the quality of service, we must deposit 500 yuan here, and we do not sign a labor contract, there is a temporary labor agreement to sign." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he knew that this was circumventing the labor law, and he didn't mean to work for a long time, but the deposit of 500 yuan made him embarrassed, and it was estimated that all his money added up to less than a few dozen yuan, where was the deposit for her.

Seeing Xiao Yu's embarrassment, the proprietress asked, "Is there anything inappropriate?"

Xiao Yu looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Don't charge a deposit, can't you?"

"What should I do? What should I do if the customer complains? What should I do if the water delivery equipment is damaged? ”

The proprietress seems to have been a little hurt by this, and explained in a series of ways.

Xiao Yu looked helpless, turned around and left stupidly.

"Little brother walks slowly. Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave the door, the voice of the proprietress came from behind him.

The proprietress walked a few steps and stepped forward and asked, "Are you from the north?"

Xiao Yu nodded and replied, and the proprietress asked again: "Can't you even take out 500 yuan?"

"I'll tell you the truth, it's because I just left my job and it's hard to find a job, so even eating has become a problem, so I applied for this job. Xiao Yu told the truth in disappointment. Because the sentence 'giving you a living space is a blessing from God' has been lingering in Xiao Yu's ears.

The proprietress pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'm really busy today, your security deposit can be deducted from your salary, and it will be deducted in ten days, if you accept it, then you will stay?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he turned around and was happy, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." Thank you, big sister. ”

After signing an agreement with the proprietress, the proprietress then handed Xiao Yu a list of the addresses where the water was delivered today.

A flatbed truck loaded with 30 barrels of purified water roamed the streets.

Moving up and down, signing the contract, the tired Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue like a dog. When the sixth trip was finished, Xiao Yu's T-shirt was already soaked with sweat several times, and a layer of white foam accumulated on his clothes.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and the last cart carrying 20 buckets of water was the completion of tonight's goal.

Xiao Yu felt bitter in his heart, and tried his best to push the pedal with his legs... Thinking about the four years of college I studied hard, thinking about my own lofty ideals, thinking about my own reading beyond ordinary people, thinking about my dream that I would be different from ordinary people, my blood suddenly turned into tears in my eyes...

When he got a salary of 150 yuan in the evening, Xiao Yu's first thought was to fill his stomach as soon as possible.

As soon as Xiao Yu walked out of the door, there was a conversation between the proprietress and the boss behind him, "This kid is really good, he sent a full 200 barrels in half a day"

"Well, try to let him send more tomorrow, the manpower of the province is insufficient, and Lao Tzu has to spend physical strength. ”

After a full meal, Xiao Yu's body was greatly balanced. When he dragged his two disobedient legs back to his dwelling, he fell down when he saw the bed, and he had no desire to wash at all.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yu came to the store and carried buckets to the car one by one. All 280 buckets of water were delivered in one day. The proprietress took out 200 yuan and gave it to him, saying, "You sent more today, and the deposit was deducted from your excess turnover." ”

Xiao Yu was no longer able to argue, and he was comforted enough to see that there was more money in his hand than yesterday. Even when he was in the insurance company, the customer said that when he applied for insurance, he said that when he applied for insurance, he made all kinds of difficulties when he finally made a claim.

Every day when he gets up early and is greedy for darkness, his roommates show him a strange eye. Xiao Yu has become taciturn, and his personality has become a little withdrawn and indifferent.

On this day, Xiao Yu received a long-distance delivery of water, and an extra two yuan was added to a bucket. Xiao Yu wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck and loaded 30 buckets of water onto the board truck. The scorching sun at noon, like a scorching stove, roasted him, and he traveled seven or eight kilometers to the area where the water was delivered.

After reading the address, Xiao Yu carried a bucket on his shoulders and another bucket under his waist, and went upstairs panting.

When he came to the water delivery location, Xiao Yu skillfully helped the customer fill the bucket of water, took the replaced bucket and walked out. I listened to the discussion behind me, as if I knew him. Just as I was about to go out, I saw a girl dressed in a bewitching dress coming out of the side room.

Xiao Yu was stunned when he saw it, and the girl also recognized him at this time...

"Su Xinya. Xiao Yu couldn't help but say it.

Seeing that the girls around her were slowly converging, Su Xinya was about to walk away without looking back.

Xiao Yu saw the indifference and ruthlessness of his girlfriend who had not been in touch for half a month, and immediately shouted: "Su Xinya, don't you know me?

Su Xinya stopped, turned around with a red face and said, "Xiao Yu, I really didn't expect you to be so unproductive and actually work as a water delivery worker?"

At this time, a girl who gathered around said: "Oh, isn't this Xinya's boyfriend? What? Run here to bring water to Xinya? We Xinya can't be thirsty, there is Deputy Chief Liu in charge." ”

Su Xinya shouted at the girl: "Wang Huan, don't talk nonsense, you add fuel and vinegar to this girl." Disperse, everyone disperse. ”

The girl did not show weakness, and said, "Scatter what is scattered, is it your boyfriend, am I talking nonsense? He said to Xiao Yu again: "Don't send water, if you send it, it's in vain, Assistant Su has already quenched his thirst." ”

Su Xinya has not called during this period of time, and she has called her several times but has not answered. At this time, Xiao Yu heard that they were jealous here... It is estimated that Su Xinya is tired of their leaders again, Xiao Yu can see this kind of thing, and if he gets together, he will get together, and if he doesn't, he will disperse, that's all. Besides, Xiao Yu had already prepared for this in his heart.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly with a wry face: "I'm Su Xinya's ex-boyfriend, we've broken up, don't you gossip about this issue anymore, okay?

As soon as she got out of the office building, Su Xinya chased after her from behind, stopped Xiao Yu and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?

Xiao Yu looked at the woman in front of him, her face was wearing more makeup than before, indicating the possibility of what their colleague said just now, and said: "If you call you and you don't answer, I know that it is the end of today, what else do you want to talk to me? I am a water delivery worker now, I have nothing, we are not suitable, so be it." It's good to get together and disperse, maybe we can be friends in the future. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Xinya shouted loudly behind him: "This is what you said, you proposed to break up, I won't pay you back the money you put here with me, as a breakup fee, hum" After speaking, he turned his head angrily.

When she had known Su Xinya for less than two months, Su Xinya proposed to prepare now for her future marriage. He offered to save 800 yuan a month to her as a preparation for future marriage. Xiao Yu knew that this was a trick of a little woman to coax people. I didn't take it seriously, because everyone may be huddled together for warmth because of loneliness. didn't refuse, because life is a game, there is no need to destroy the hope of this kind of game, Xiao Yu still took out 800 of her monthly salary and handed it to her.
