Chapter 1 The Days After Graduation
What is the most painful thing about graduation?
It's better than holding a college diploma, smoking a cigarette and singing songs to find a job, thinking that he is a grandfather, but he can't even be a grandson.
In the past, when I applied for a job, I didn't say anything else, so I asked, "Do you have work experience?" ”
A sentence of work experience has made many college students kneel.
Every day, as soon as I go online, there is a content in the QQ group of the class, and all kinds of complaints can't find a job.
In the past few days after graduation, Lao Song and I have been running around the talent market at various job fairs just like a game copy. In these years, things like exorcism and evil spirits really can't be eaten, otherwise when the aunt of the neighborhood committee finds you, if you are lucky, she will criticize you and say that you promote feudal superstition, and if you are unlucky, you will be enough to drink a pot of fraud.
Today is still the same, Lao Song and I dressed like dogs and went to the talent market to look for a job, and we were dumbfounded when we got there. Since it is a weekend, there are more than one people, what is the railway station during the Spring Festival? That's also called a lot of people? It's not a grade compared to here. If foreign friends come to China and want to see how many people can be, I can only recommend three places, the talent market during the period after graduating from college every year, the train station during the Spring Festival and the tourist attractions during the long vacation. As long as you go, you can appreciate how many people can be.
Countless people dressed more like me and Lao Song, with resumes in their hands skillfully thrown on the tables of each recruitment company, with standard smiles on their faces. Seeing this, I turned my face to look at Lao Song, and after a third of a second, I calmly turned my face and couldn't bear to continue to look at him, people are smiling, your uncle is smiling, your uncle is smiling, can it be the same!
After a morning in the talent market, Lao Song and I were completely helpless, and the salary was at most 600, which made us all embarrassed. No wonder there are still college students on TV who go to dig up feces after graduation, like us, it is estimated that they are not far from digging dung.
From childhood to adulthood, reality has given us all kinds of blows.
When I was a child, I often wondered, should I go to Tsinghua University or Peking University to study at university? When I got to the college entrance examination, I found out that he was thinking too much. But I have to say that the college entrance examination was the peak of our life's cultural level at that time, and when we got to college, we even forgot about junior high school.
When I was in college, everyone was very calm, thinking that finding a job after graduation was like having fun, so we were college students! Every time I think about it, I find an office to sit in after graduation, talk to my subordinates every day, and receive some red envelopes from time to time.
After graduation, I realized that we are all dreaming, and we can lack everything in these years, that is, there is no shortage of college students. If a missile were blown down during a war, eight out of ten people would have been college students. Nowadays, there is too much competition in society, and it is even more difficult for college students to find a satisfactory job than to climb to the sky. If you look back a few decades, college students are really stress-free to find a job, as long as you are a college graduate, there is no company that does not want you. But now, we're all about to go to the street to ask for food.
I suddenly felt that my father was right, and it was better to go back and continue to work with him when looking for a job. No wonder when I said I didn't want to make money by doing this business, my dad didn't say anything, just looked at us with an unfathomable smile, Jiang is still old and spicy! It seems that Dad has long expected our current situation.
I looked at the time and beckoned Lao Song to go to lunch. The weather is really nice today, the sun is shining, but our hearts are not bright at all.
"Fanzi, why do you say it's so hard to find a job now?" Lao Song looked at me with a depressed face.
"There are many people and there is a lot of competition." I shook my head helplessly.
After walking for a while, I found a small restaurant nearby and was ready to supplement protein, probably when it was time to eat, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. I looked for a long time with Lao Song before I found a place to sit down, lit a cigarette and waited for the food to be served.
"Li Qian and my daughter-in-law are in the same company now, right?" I looked up and asked Old Song. Lao Song didn't speak, smoking a cigarette and nodding sullenly.
Uncle, our two daughters-in-law have found jobs and stabilized, and we are still swinging, what is this called? In fact, we are not in a hurry to make money, mainly because we were hit last time when Lao Song and I went to meet their parents.
"You're Xiaoqian's boyfriend, right?" The aunt looked at Lao Song with kind eyes and asked.
Lao Song smiled and said, "Yes, hello Auntie!" ”
"Are you going to get married?" Hearing her aunt ask, Lao Song and Li Qian glanced at each other and nodded heavily: "I'm going to marry her as a daughter-in-law!" ”
"Do you have a house?"
"No, but there will be one in the future!" Old Song lowered his head and said. Seeing this, the aunt shook her head and said helplessly: "I have no objection to you falling in love, but when it comes to getting married, you must have a house, this is not a matter of money or not, if there is no stable environment, how can you rest assured that your daughter will be married?" ”
When Lao Song heard his aunt say this, he turned his face to look at Li Qian, and whispered: "Wait for me, we will get married after I make money to buy a house!" ”
My situation is the same as his, no way, this society is very realistic, love can't be eaten. And you can't blame other parents, it's all for the good of your children. Originally, my father and they had the money to buy me a house, but I didn't want it, I would rather suffer myself than spend my family's money, after all, we are not small.
Recently, I often look at housing prices in the newspaper with Lao Song, and the price increase is so fast that it is not good, often a price a few months ago, a price a few months later, his uncle's!
After eating, I followed Lao Song out of the restaurant, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, and suddenly felt that it was not easy to do anything in these years. Just when I was emotional, Lao Song stopped me: "Fanzi, why don't we continue to eat this bowl of rice, we should be able to make a lot of money by helping people exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts in the past few years, otherwise I really don't know what we should do." Hearing Lao Song say this, I didn't speak for a while, lit a cigarette and walked on the road, and after a while I whispered to him: "That's all I can do." ”
Back at the antique shop, my father was sitting in the store reading the newspaper, and when he saw us coming back, he smiled at our dejected appearance and said: "It's better to decide to do your old job, you two rabbit cubs, if you don't make money, you want to do some non-mainstream business, isn't it self-defeating!" ”
Dad, let's exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts is a non-mainstream business!
Dad waved his hand to sit down, threw two cigarettes to us and said, "You are not young, make some money in the past few years and prepare to buy a house, after all, you are going to get married." Xiao Song, you have been with us for the past few years, I treat you as half a son, I also know about you and Xiaoqian, don't worry, there is an uncle, work with me for a few years, it is easy to buy a house. ”
Hearing my dad say that, what else can we say? No way, that's the reality, let's do it!
