Chang Xia rode her "black" mount through the city, spinning around under the huge billboards on the city's high-rise buildings, which were very lively under the sky, they were red and green, their arms were thick, their heads were huge.

These billboards were like flat giants bobbing and falling before her eyes. She was lost, the same streets, similar alleys, billboards stretching out countless arms into the sky in the sea of cities, making her dizzy.

Which street is this, it looks like it's already home, why not? Got into someone else's residential building, the building is a bit similar, but if you look closely, it is very unfamiliar.

He exited the community and found his way outside. It was getting dark, and the streets were getting twilight, and the more it looked like a lost sail in the sea, I suddenly panicked and called Bai Xian.

"Where the hell are you?" Bai Xian asked anxiously on the phone. "I'm lost." Chang Xia burst into tears.

Twenty-six-year-old Chang Xia, who had just come up from a small town, rode her bicycle for the first time in the city, like a diminutive Napoleon When she was ambitious to conquer Europe, she was confronted with the Battle of Waterloo: she was lost.

Two hours ago, she had ridden out of the door, but when she came back in the evening, she couldn't find the door to enter the house.

Bai Hyun asked her to call Chunchun, and under Chunchun's phone guidance, she finally returned to the house.

In fact, it looks like it's about two or three streets away from home, but Chang Xia is like a little beast that has fallen into a trap without his heart, and he can't get out.

Chunchun looked at Chang Xia, like an adult looking at a child who had done something stupid, she didn't believe it at all, she didn't despise it at all, but she still giggled, and politely covered her eyes with a smile: "How is it possible, get lost...... Hehehe...... "I thought to myself, can such a person still live in the city and find a job?" It's just hilarious. Did she come from the mountains?

At this time, like people in the last century, she slowly groped to adapt to the contemporary city.

Chang Xia was depressed and collapsed on the bed. The small town of Kitasato is only one street, only a fifteen-minute bike ride away, and that's where she has lived for eight years. You can also travel once a year, but it is led by someone else. Now, she can't even tell the difference between east and west in the city. At the age of twenty-six, she has the imbecile from the town. It's hard to talk about.

(2) The second time, she went on the road with a map.

Finally, we finally found a talent market. Seeing that the first booth was crowded with people, the thin girl sitting at the table in the middle was struggling to write, "Let's find it, yes, we have a job, and the address is ...... like this."

She quickly drew an imprint with a pen on a flyer. The enthusiasm of this girl was different from the cold arrogance of the other booths.

Chang Xia squeezed in, took a list, and after leaving the talent market, he looked for it according to the address on the flyer, only to find that it was an employment agency. I can't complain about being so enthusiastic in the talent market. Sheep looking for work are attracted to their sheepfold with some grass, and the wool is plucked before being released.

Chang Xia faced the tall, thin girl with sharp teeth and sharp teeth with permed hair, she sat on the table with half of her body almost like a dragonfly, one foot dangled under the table, and looked at Chang Xia condescendingly and casually:

"We have all kinds of jobs, huh? You're looking for a clerk, yes, of course. But you know what? Others will pay you to find a job, and our registration fee is 120 yuan per person, is it expensive? This is not expensive at all, we guarantee the quality, until you find it satisfied. ”

She casually took out a pair of nail clippers from the table behind her, and lowered her head to grind her nails: "How do you think about it?" ”

I probably thought I had run into an inexperienced little sheep again. Hearing that he was going to pay the money, Chang Xia's heart jumped suddenly as if someone had been caught. But when she saw the plain and decisive appearance of the girl opposite, she quickly gave up her efforts to struggle and lowered her head to take out the money from her bag.

After paying the money, I went to the address provided by the employment agency, a small and shabby company.

But even in a small, dilapidated company, walking down a dark hallway, the smell of the toilet diffuses with the breeze, and there are several young and haggard faces waiting anxiously for this humble clerk's position.

That's what the agency is about. Chang Xia sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't find a job, and he had to be slaughtered frequently, and the more pitiful the lamb, the easier it was to be knifed.

Here Chang Xia is struggling to find a job, and over there in Chunchun, it seems that he is playing games all day long.

At night, even all night long, you can hear the roaring thunder and the sound of cars stepping on the door frame, all the way to the dream of Chang Xia.

Chang Xia looked at the phone line and was a little annoyed, at this time their Internet access is still the most primitive way, that is, dial up the Internet with a telephone line, if you connect to the phone line all night, the phone bill will naturally be expensive for a month.

And the phone bill is split equally between the two. Chang Xia saves time for hanging nets, but Chunchun doesn't care. She is a typical person who only consumes what she has in front of her and does not care about tomorrow, and her spending money is like the broken Manchu children of the Qing Dynasty, who are used to squandering, regardless of whether others have money or not.

While listening to Chunchun's wanton shouting in that room.

Thinking of the flat phone bill, I was even more distressed, the thin money in my pocket that was used to fill my belly was taken away for no reason. The whistling sound from there was like a hand beating Chang Xia's heart.

Chang Xia is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Chunchun, and another dissatisfaction is that Chunchun always occupies the phone line when playing games, and Bai Xian's phone has never been able to come in. The two girls under the same roof still had some contradictions in their hearts, although they didn't show it on their faces.

On this day, Qingqing didn't play games in the morning, and Chang Xia didn't go out to look for a job. Chunchun asked Chang Xia to enter her room, and the two sat on Chunchun's bed and showed Chang Xia her photos.

In the first one, a simple country girl with a ponytail on her face, with a moon-like sheen on her face, smiling brightly under a tree in the snow.

"After graduating from high school at the age of 19, I went to Beijing. I went to the company to learn CAE drawing, and I learned it so quickly. He was surprised. "That one is obviously his boyfriend and her boss.

Chang Xia can imagine the delicate and tender water-like age, a slightly shy look, simple and unpretentious, but it makes people feel excited.

Chunchun took out a slender cigarette from the computer desk, squinted his eyes and smoked, "At that time, we rented a house, but we had a car, even if we went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, we drove there, went to the big shopping mall to buy beautiful clothes, and went to the disco at night. Then play cards to win money. I drove to the prairie for a self-guided tour, and sometimes I flew around. Alas, what is like now! "Spring seems to sink into the nostalgia of the past.

At that time, there were cars. It should be a good mix. The price of a car is about the same as that of a house.

Chang Xia looked at Chunchun in front of her with some envy, such a bizarre life was unimaginable to her in a small town. In the small town, she worked hard every day, and after work, she thought about how to read more books and get her undergraduate diploma early.

The thought of eating, drinking, and being merry never crossed her mind. Compared to Chunchun, she is almost as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and like an ascetic.
