Xiao Xu, get up and eat.

Hearing his mother's call, Wu Xu finally got up from the lazy bed, rubbed his eyes, and looked at his mobile phone It was already 19:00 in the evening. Since coming home from school, Wu Xu has gone to bed late every night, doing nothing all day, seeing his parents getting up early and greedy for darkness every day, he really wants to help, help his parents and brothers do farm work, do sundries, but he has not done farm work for more than ten years, and now he has no way to do it.

His father and mother knew that Wu Xu had a strong personality and knew that his studies were wasted, so they wanted to talk to him to make him strong and cheer up, but they were afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so they didn't say a word about him not being able to graduate from a junior college, more to divert his attention and let him slow down.

At dinner, Wu Xu ate with his parents and brothers, a total of six people, the family had nothing to say, all they could hear was the sound of eating, even the sound of chopsticks picking vegetables and biting tofu could be heard clearly, the family ate as much as they wanted, but Wu Xu felt uncomfortable. Because he always thinks that he can't even graduate from a junior college, and he is very sorry for his parents and brothers. During the half month at home, after the family was busy, he was like a moth and couldn't play any role. When he was happy, he was thinking about the way out in the future. When he was unhappy, he felt that he was useless, and everyone looked down on him. Just like tonight's dinner, the whole family was silent, and he felt that the other five people and five pairs of eyes were staring at him and despised him. Wu Xu's face was expressionless, and he said:

Wu Xu: Dad, why don't you let me go to you to do processing first, I've been eating and sleeping all day for half a month, and sleeping and eating is not a solution. I want to do something, at least not to be a gnawing old man.

Wu Liang: It's okay to find something to do, but our construction site is full of dirty work, and you can't do it with your small body.

Brother Wu Rui: Big brother, don't worry, take your time, you have finished college, and you can take the exam to enter the national unit when you get back your graduation certificate after the make-up exam next year.

Mother Yang Xiuxiu: Yes, Xiaoxu, if you don't rest at home and read well, and then find a good job after the make-up exam next year, tomorrow your uncle's house will be built, and we can't ask for leave when we have more work on the construction site, or you can help.

Wu Xu: Okay, I'll help my uncle's family build a house tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Wu Xu came to his uncle Yang Guozhong's house, because building a house is a major event in the countryside, and there are many people needed, and his father and fellow villagers will come to help. The villagers were eating breakfast and scrambling to arrange plans to build a house, when the second uncle of the uncle spoke.

Xiao Xu, I heard that you graduated from college and found a job?

Wu Xu: Uncle, haven't found a job yet? I don't want to look for it anymore, I'm ready to go out.

Second aunt: You must be looking for a job, you are also twenty-three years old, you can find a daughter-in-law, otherwise it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

Third aunt: I think I can be a teacher, the salary is high, and there are holidays, so I can find a daughter-in-law!

Uncle and second uncle: Teachers are good, but not everyone can be a teacher, many key universities graduated from the exam for many years and teachers can't look down on them, and in the end they don't go out to work, and the salary is not as high as my son.

Third Aunt-in-law: If you want me to say, it's hard to find a daughter-in-law after studying in college, especially if you don't find a job, you want to find someone who also goes to college, and I'm afraid that the last two won't have a job and won't survive. I was unwilling to find a peasant girl, and I was afraid that I would find a good job in the future and would not have a common language. It's really hard to find a job and can't find it.

You and I said one sentence, Wu Xu didn't talk, he liked to listen or not, and finally said, "I have applied for the subsistence allowance from the village chief, and I will be able to eat the subsistence allowance in the future, and the elders will not worry about it", so he worked silently. Tie steel bars, lift cement, mix mortar, etc., although they have not been done for many years, these rural jobs are still capable of doing it in Wu Xu's opinion.

Uncle: Xiao Xu, it's almost over, let's rest, and let the masters do the rest.

Wu Xu: Okay uncle, then I'll go back first after eating something, and a friend will ask me to play in the evening.

Uncle: Okay, then you can eat quickly, don't delay the ride.

When Wu Xu went back to eat, the seven aunts and eight aunts started the ridicule mode again, in addition to not saying that college students are useless, that is, how much does a son and which girl earn a month, and how much money can a relative make when he opens a store. Rural life is like this, when you mix well, everyone says that you don't make much money, you don't have a big official, and you think you're great, and you can drown people just by spitting. When you don't mix well, it's time for everyone to say that you don't have the ability again.

At night, Wu Xu lay on the bed and thought about it, he really wanted to find someone to talk to and confide in each other, but who could understand him and listen to him. In addition to saying who is admitted to graduate school, civil servants, public institutions, and state-owned enterprises; Whoever is the rich second generation, the job is not worrying at all, who is on the list of big money, and there is no way to talk about it except for Feihuang Tengda. He doesn't want to listen to it, he just wants to cry and get drunk, but who listens to him cry, who can accompany him to get drunk? Where is the girl he has been pursuing, Ma Li, he can't even think about.

He didn't want to go out, he didn't want to see people, but he also wanted to go out, because he wanted to find someone who understood him to talk to, on July 10th, his best friend of the opposite sex in his first year of high school, Yang Xiaoyan, got married, and he attended their wedding. It's not so much a wedding as a full moon wine, because they don't have a formal wedding, but a banquet held directly after giving birth.

Yang Xiaoyan: I said Lao Xu, when did you bring your girlfriend over to see, you have been studying outside, and it is time to come back and find a job. In the future, you don't have to look too far to find a job, like my work unit is ten kilometers away from the city, and it is inconvenient not to drive.

Wu Xu: How inconvenient it is to drive, I will work directly in our village in the future, and find a second-married daughter from our village as a daughter-in-law, so that it is good to work, or if the daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' house, I don't need to drive, anyway, I can't afford to buy a car.

Hahahaha, Wu Xu's words caused everyone to laugh.

He Jia: Lao Yan, how many wedding cars did your husband arrange for you to get married?

Yang Xiaoyan: My mother's family is small, and there are not many arrangements, only two BMWs, two Audis, and the other twelve cars are ordinary cars.

He Jia: Your husband is amazing, he really gives you a long face. When we got married, the pomp was similar to yours, except that there was an extra RV.

Yang Xiaoyan: Your husband is so rich, he should pick you up in an RV.

He Jia: Your husband is not bad, members of the unit team, your colleague and his colleague are all driving here, no wonder we can't find a place to park.

Wu Xu, Zhang Yuan, you look at me, I look at you, shook their heads at each other, don't say much, you should drink and drink, you should smoke and smoke.

He Jia: Lao Xu, you were also a well-known figure back then, everyone knew everyone in No. 1 Middle School, where did you make a fortune now?

Wu Xu: We can't make the climate from the mountains, so I'm transparent.

Chen Ning: Lao Xu, how did you do it, although you are only studying a junior college, but your skills are there, not in our Ping'an City, at least in Bijiu, Anxi and other remote areas can still find a job, you have to work hard. Zhang Yuan, my old squad leader, I heard that you are going to take the civil service exam, come on, and when I come back from the provincial capital, it will be up to you to do things.

Wu Xu smiled and said nothing, Zhang Yuan said: Let everyone lift up.

On the way back, Zhang Yuan scolded while walking: Chen Ning is angry, isn't he just admitted to a good university, a graduate student, I don't think he's a graduate student, other graduate students teach in college, and the poor ones at least teach high school, Chen Ning fucking a graduate student teaches junior high school in a township middle school, and he also brushes his prestige in front of the two of us.

What is He Jia, did she make a penny? Have a good job? Isn't it just a long force, what's the big deal, his male drop should have a brain problem, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to look down on her shaving ten layers of powder.

Yang Xiaoyan was saying that she had a good job, a good husband, and she was really material.

Wu Xu: Brother Zhang Yuan, it's not you who have changed or my side, it's them who have changed. The reality is like this, when you are doing well, your own good friends and classmates will be jealous of you and tear you down. When you're having a bad time, they will despise you, look down on you, and want to step on you. It's all chatting, let's talk about what others like to hear, but we do mix too badly, it's time to come on.

Zhang Yuan: It's hard to be a brother.

After Wu Xu and Zhang Yuan left the wedding scene, they had supper in Ping'an City, drank some wine, and then went home separately.

… Feed... Sister Yan, you finally remembered me, Wu Xu picked up the phone and said.

Brother Xu: I heard that we have a big company in Anping County, which is producing cement and is recruiting, I think it is very suitable for you, or you can come and take a look. Wu Xu's dream lover Ma Li's classmate Liu Yan said on the phone.

Wu Xu: Sister Yan, you know my situation, I don't have a graduation certificate, I don't know if people will consider me?

Liu Yan: Don't think too much, if you don't boast about the first step, how can you predict what will happen next? Maybe you can make a difference in that company? I asked clearly, this company is recruiting in the provincial talent market the day after tomorrow, and there are suitable positions in high school, junior college, undergraduate, and graduate students, you still have to take a look, whether you have a graduation certificate or not, I am optimistic about you.

Wu Xu: I've been home for more than a month, and I've received a lot of calls from friends and classmates, basically showing off themselves, and none of them care about me as much as you. Don't worry, Sister Yan, although I have been hit, I will not be defeated, I will go to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning to apply for a job, and I will definitely work hard.

Liu Yan: That's right, this is my brother Xu, after you come here to work, you will be close to me, and you can get together after work.

Wu Xu: Your internship is over, how is it to work there?

Liu Yan: Let's rotate first, the hospital is the same, you have to transfer for a year, and you will officially sign the contract after you are qualified, the work in the hospital is too difficult, I really want to change jobs.

Wu Xu: Let's get on the horse first, ride the horse to find the donkey to be stable, I also believe in you, look at you, and support you.

Liu Yan: Alas, I think the same way, but the salary is only 800 a month during the rotation period, and I can't support myself. Okay, let's not talk about it, think about it, I'm in Anping you.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xu suddenly brightened, and the wine also woke up, and walked for forty minutes to the town's Internet café, where he checked the recruitment of the talent market, enterprises in Anping County, and so on. The next day, Wu Xu borrowed 1,500 yuan from his third uncle and went to the provincial capital with his classmate Liu Yang to work hard.
