The squad leader is an authentic native of northern Shaanxi, tall and strong, with a girlfriend who everyone admires, almost at the goddess level, usually driving a Hummer with nothing to do, and it seems to have changed to a Land Rover after graduation.

Sitting in the dormitory with a cigarette in his mouth, he sighed: 20 years old, and 4 20 years of life are basically stuck.

Listen with your ears and silently say in your heart: Your family is so rich, what is there to sigh about, how can a poor person like us still have the leisure time to sigh about life here.

But if you think about it carefully, it's like this, I don't know if everyone is as different as me, whether the time of 20 years is still so confused.

The squad leader and another buddy in the class formed a stark contrast, he is also a native of northern Shaanxi, called Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang is dark and thin, and his family is not rich, and he doesn't even have living expenses when he goes to school, he works part-time for two days in Xi'an every Saturday and Sunday, which is enough for his meal money from Monday to Friday next week, and then contacts the part-time job on Saturday and Sunday before Friday of the next week, which is capricious.

Gao Qiang basically doesn't go home during the summer and winter vacations, according to his words, even if he goes home, he lies at home, and it is better to earn some tuition for the next semester.

After knowing each other for a long time and getting acquainted with him, he told me that he didn't even have the money in his pocket to go home. Once I was chatting in their dormitory, Gao Qiang's mother called and told him that he had built a bungalow for his brother to marry his daughter-in-law, and the family had no money, which meant that the family let Gao Qiang take care of himself.

Saturday and Sunday do two days part-time, good words can earn 200 yuan, bad words have to lose money, very hard, we were young at that time rarely have the habit of eating breakfast, Gao Qiang is no exception, but his lunch and dinner is even simpler, basically a meal is 3 pieces of sauce cake is over, good words can come to a bowl of noodles 6 pieces, but rarely see him eat.

We have living expenses every month, how much or less, at the end of each month is everyone's time to eat soil, in that era when WeChat Alipay is not smooth, everyone is used to using cash, rummaging through the dormitory, trying to find in the cabinet, shoebox accidentally dropped 10 or 5 yuan of change.

But no matter how poor you are, you will come to a 5 yuan package. Cold cucumbers, cold tomatoes, shredded potatoes, and rice are added casually, because no one eats them, this kind of vegetable canteen aunt will not tremble.

Even so, everyone is too lazy to go to the city to work part-time to earn some extra money.

After a long time, Gao Qiang has also accumulated a certain amount of resources in Xi'an, and began to do business in the school, holding a lot of part-time VIP cards in his hands, what is a part-time VIP card, that is, you buy this kind of card, and with a part-time job, you can give priority to part-time work by showing this card.

There are two types of VIP, one is a silver VIP, 50 yuan a piece, and a gold VIP, 100 yuan a piece.

The gold card seems to be more expensive than the silver card, and the part-time job is paid at a lower salary, and the salary is higher. Everyone is laughing: how many people can buy a card like yours?

And he didn't bother to answer such questions, in the end, everyone didn't know how many people bought his card, but it was said that Gao Qiang had monopolized nearly 80% of the part-time jobs in our school at that time, and anyone who wanted to do part-time jobs had to go to him.

Gao Qiang is also a classmate who worked in Xi'an after graduation, at the beginning everyone was full of passion, hoping to become the leader of a large company, since then it has been smooth sailing, on the pinnacle of life, for a long time, everyone found that staying in Xi'an will only be poorer, one by one left Xi'an, and Gao Qiang did not give up, working alone in Xi'an, express delivery, the Internet, what dirty work and tiring work have also been done, although now it is still nothing, but you are persistent, to be able to persevere.

Don't make excuses for your poverty and try to do everything you do. The precious spirit is worth learning from.
