In early spring, the young grass sprouts, the green trees are renewed, and the peach blossoms are blooming. It's another year of Chinese New Year. Stretch your back, a new day has come, get up.

I suddenly realized that I didn't have to go to work from today.

I was stunned to think of the past. I don't want to sink and fall.

I had just graduated that year, full of longing and expectation, and was not willing to be arranged for graduation indicators. Secretly poked and poked to visit the landmark shopping malls in Dajiu, knocked on the door of the general manager's office one by one, and recommended himself. Now that I think about it, I smile with relief. I remember that my palms were sweaty and nervous.

Perhaps due to fate, I was very honored to be personally received by the general manager in my first favorite shopping mall. In other homes, some are closed general manager doors, and some are personnel department managers who are in a hurry to escort and take away reception. The professional manager has a professional smile, a cold tone, a rigorous attitude, a cold look in his eyes, and an impatient routine routine of doing this and more because of me.

When I stood in front of the general manager, I was a little nervous to introduce my strengths, strengths, and ideas for joining. The Federation of Industry smiled and told me with great interest that state-owned enterprises must have graduation distribution quotas, which will be uniformly dispatched and distributed by the Commerce and Trade Bureau.

I bowed deeply, thanked me, and fled the room slightly embarrassed. But my heart suddenly opened up, and I was overjoyed, and I was lucky to be the last batch of college graduates with distribution indicators in the country.

Roaring and sprinting my multi-handed elimination bicycle that creaked everywhere except for the bell, and rushed in the direction of home. I want to tell my parents the good news as soon as possible. I was finally able to wait for the assignment with peace of mind, and I finally succeeded in introducing myself and took the first step in my professional life.

Everything is the same at home, and my mother, who has been ill for a long time, is still sitting in front of the window. Smile and welcome me back. Hot not? The kettle water on the east side is warmer. Knowing the son is better than the mother!

I didn't stop all the way, riding at a galloping speed, with a ruddy complexion. Chong mother grinned, rushed to the cabinet, picked up the thermos, pulled off the stopper, poured himself a glass of warm boiled water, tilted his neck, and poured it in.

Stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains left on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, Mom, I'll learn from you later, good news.

Run to the back room, take off the good clothes you wear for going out, and change into your daily loungewear and slippers. I ran to the yard, where my mother had prepared a hot basin of clean water for my brothers and me. Bending down and plunging into the water, he picked up a handful of hot water and washed his sweat-stained face and neck. That's called a comfortable! Don't worry at all, the water is cool and the body is hot.

Wipe the water droplets on your face with your hands, and shake them off without rubbing, so that you can cool down for a while. The weather in July can dry itself in a while. I splashed the water in the basin on the land of the courtyard, and it instantly became wet, and the breeze blew, and the air felt moist and cool. Then use a large white iron water scoop to scoop water out of the large water tank in the outhouse of the house, fill the basin with water again, and still put it in the yard to dry in the sun. Keep it for the rest of the family to come back and use. The fiery sun in the north in July will raise the temperature of the water in a short time.

With a smile, he went back to the house, took off his shoes and went to the kang, lying comfortably on his mother's lap, and reported to her the experience of visiting various places in a day.

Mom listened quietly, occasionally gently combing my wet, slightly messy hair with her hands. Sometimes smiling, sometimes concerned, sometimes anxious. Her mood fluctuated as I spoke. I clearly felt that she was connected and empathetic.

Patiently waiting for me to finish, my mother fell into deep thought. Your eldest cousin works in the Commerce and Trade Bureau, do you want to find your aunt and try it? Mom suggested to me in a soft tone.

The family lives tightly, because my mother is not in good health and cannot go out to work to earn money, and the whole family lives on the salary of my father alone. My mother needs money to see a doctor, and my second brother and I have been studying and spending money. The eldest brother worked, but the newborn nephew was also stretched thin and unable to help the family.
