Chapter 3: What a New Life Looks Like

Gu Xia, back to the small hotel to pack up her things and take a taxi to the rented house, the capital's transportation expenses and traffic conditions did make her smack, although she didn't have anything, but she was really unfamiliar with Beijing, afraid of taking the wrong road, Gu Xia secretly swore in her heart that she would never take a taxi again.

The new residence is dilapidated, but I am happy to think that I will have a new life in the future.

Simply clean up her own room, she still likes the layout of the room, and by the way visited the courtyard, because of Monday, everyone went to work and didn't see it. Gu Xia was busy here for most of the day.

The small house, the house is rented, but the life is your own.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, it was dark, and Gu Xia, who was lying on the bed, heard someone coming home one after another, and the originally quiet courtyard became lively. She heard the voice of a child, it was a family of three, there was a heavy electric three-wheeled sound, scolding in his mouth, it was estimated that today's life was not good.

The voice of a little girl on the phone, complaining about the supervisor, saying that she didn't eat at noon, maybe her boyfriend or family on the other end of the phone.

Gu Xia smelled the breath of life in this miscellaneous courtyard, and there was a trace of fireworks, such a day is called life.

Gu Xia, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but think of her parents, far away, she was even more homesick, but she had to endure it no matter what, isn't there such a sentence, the road she chooses, she has to finish it on her knees, how can there be a reason to stop.

Thinking that everything is ready, the next step is to survive, work, she wants to support herself, she has submitted so many resumes, and she has not even replied, Gu Xia is still very fond of writing work, and she has always wanted to be a screenwriter or something, but Gu Xia doesn't know a lot about screenwriting itself, and college is also a third-rate, and she doesn't study this, she can only be regarded as a hobby, but the hobby may not be easy to walk if it is upgraded to an ideal.

Most of the companies that Gu Xiatou has a resume are like that, although she can't get into that kind of work, but she just wants to learn in that environment.

Gu Xia's yearning, look forward to realizing it. But obviously this is not as easy as finding a house, Gu Xia didn't eat at night, she was not familiar with the first neighborhood, and the many uncertainties of the second new place made her very anxious, and this night was a coma that she entered in the resume.

Although there is no alarm clock, but the noise of the courtyard in the morning is enough to make you get up early, the electric tricycle leaves home the earliest in the morning, Gu Xia summed up what morning market it may be in the morning, the child has no sound, picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was only 5 o'clock, I wanted to fall asleep again, and then thought that if I really have a job to go to work in the future, I may not have time to feel the city of Beijing in the morning, get up and get dressed and washed, take a walk, anyway, waiting for the phone at home, waiting for the phone outside.

Although the bathroom is outside, after all, it is not summer and everyone is still in the small bathroom in the house, Gu Xia waited until everyone left, and then carefully opened the door to wash.

New environment, new life, Gu Xia has not fully adapted to it, she has no friends here, there is not even a person to talk to, when she is alone, Gu Xia will feel lonely, walking along the city wall and looking at all kinds of people, Gu Xia will be curious about the pedestrians on the road, curious about their lives, their lives.

In the following days, Gu Xia still submitted his resume, but still did not reply, these days Gu Xia went to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, went to a lot of scenic spots, and couldn't find a job to wander around by himself, but such a day was not so stable.

The balance of the bank card no longer allows her to mess around like this, Gu Xia has still applied for a few jobs these days, but her age is destined to get married, everyone will ask what her marriage plans are in the near future, women are really troublesome, having children or something is a problem, Gu Xia has made it clear that she has no such plans in the near future, and the reply she got is still considering waiting for news, more than half a month, without a clue.

But it's good to meet an aunt in this miscellaneous courtyard, the aunt is from Qingdao, Shandong, and originally had favorable living conditions, but the son works in Beijing, the child was born in Beijing, and has been working in Beijing for more than ten years, and finally bought a house in Changping, which is being renovated, and the aunt is here to help take care of the child, because in a city like Beijing, two people can work at full load to ensure life.

Gu Xia chats with her aunt every afternoon when she has nothing to do, and plays with the neighbor's children for a while to kill time, which can be regarded as adding some novelty to her boring life.

"Girl, you said that you are all vying to come to Beijing, there are many opportunities in Beijing, but I am not used to this life, if it weren't for my eldest grandson, I really wouldn't come, I'm also old at this age, and when the child grows up, I will go back, but it's not early."

"When I came to Beijing, I thought I had a clear goal, but after coming for so many days, now I am confused and I don't know why."

This aunt is a teacher and very knowledgeable, Gu Xia stayed with her for an afternoon and learned a lot, talked a lot about the big truths of life, and also increased her confidence.

In the evening, the aunt invited her to eat together, and the old aunt cooked together, life was a long time ago, when the memory of Gu Xia's life was still in her own home, only at that time her mother would make dinner for her, and follow the smoke of the house to go home, such days were happy.

During the meal, Gu Xia saw the child's father and mother, the two of them were talented and beautiful, they belonged to the kind of attractive type, approachable, several people were of similar age, and they chatted happily.

"Your name is Gu Xia, isn't it, your name is very good, I heard my mother say that you just came to Beijing and don't have a job yet, right? You don't have to worry, your sister-in-law and I have been in Beijing for ten years, and as soon as we graduated from university, we came here, and the purpose of coming here is very simple, I feel that I am talented, and I will take root in Beijing in the future. ”

Gu Xia naturally knew that this brother named Li Fei was encouraging her, and nodded, "Yes, the purpose of my coming to Beijing is to break through, I didn't want to leave regrets for myself when I was young, and when I saw so many Beipiao people working so hard, what reason did I have to retreat." ”

"Look at the two of you are still inspiring, today we made friends, Qingdao and Dalian are across the sea, very close, we are also half of the countrymen, we will treat each other in the future, live under one roof, my children are small, noisy, and you will inevitably be troubled in the future." Gu Xia hurriedly said that it was okay, saying that he liked such a life-like appearance.

"You young people will talk more when you are together, Gu Xia, this little girl, will talk to me this afternoon, I just want to retreat, Xiaofei, you two enlighten her, the child is sleepy, I won't accompany you." When the aunt took the children into the house, there were only three people left, Li Fei and Gu Xia, Li Fei suggested that a few people drink some wine, saying that acquaintance is fate, Chen Yi (Li Fei's wife) went into the house to get wine, and the three of them talked a lot through wine.

Gu Xia knew that Li Fei was doing software engineering, Chen Yi was working in a foreign company, both of them were decent white-collar workers, but they still had to live in such a miscellaneous courtyard, which shows how difficult it is to live in Beijing, but the two of them are also considered to have taken root in Beijing, which is very good, and it is also a very inspirational model, Gu Xia looked at the two of them with envy, fantasizing that he could also take root in Beijing in the future, and secretly swore in his heart that he must stay in Beijing.

"Sister Chen Yi, I really can't drink anymore, I drank too much today, I'm really happy to meet you, I'm really lucky, although I haven't worked yet, but I feel very warm to get along with everyone."

"Xiao Xia, it's also an honor for us to know you, you are a very good girl, I believe my sister's words, you will be like us, bless you, come to the last drink and go to bed."

Chen Yi is a very bold person, very similar to a Northeast person, Gu Xia likes this kind of character very much, and thinks that it is also very good to chat, so everyone toasts together.

"Let's have a slogan that has always been: Long live Beipiao, I want to stay in Beijing, come on."

Gu Xia shouted with everyone, and he also felt quite ridiculous, he didn't have anything, and he was the same as everyone, but when he shouted out, he also felt that he had great strength, and he was more confident to persevere. Gu Xia helped clean up, and then went back to sleep.

This wine is dizzy for Gu Xia to drink, Gu Xia has a problem that the wine is not particularly good, and sometimes she will lose her virtue when she drinks a little wine, but she also forced herself to restrain herself.

When she returned to the room, she didn't want to wash up, she cried in the quilt for a while, this house was relatively close, and the sound insulation was not particularly good, so Gu Xia cried quietly, and fell asleep while crying.
