Leaving his hometown to work in Shanghai, repeating the same work every day, life is uneventful. It wasn't until an experience with the next door lady that my life changed completely.
After graduating from university, like many young people, I had the dream of going to the big city to work, and in order to make more money, I left my hometown and came to Shanghai to work. In addition to the normal working hours, I have to work overtime until ninety o'clock every day, and the pace of life is very fast, and I live the same life every day. Usually there is no interest hobby, after work at home to play games and then sleep, day by day, thinking of saving enough for the down payment of the hometown to go back to the hometown to live.
After coming to Shanghai, I rented a house of 30 square meters in an old and dilapidated small house in Yangpu District, with a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan. I originally wanted to save some money to go to Pudong, but it takes three hours to commute to work, and I decided to rent closer, even if I save a little life. Although the community is old, the environment is not bad, only two families live upstairs is also very quiet, my next door lives a female neighbor in her thirties, older than me, can also be regarded as my sister.
The next door is quiet on weekdays and should also be a person. The female neighbor next door was very beautiful, at least the back was beautiful, and the sound of high heels clicking in the hallway after work every day was always a reminder that the neighbor was going home. Usually, when I meet and greet me in the corridor, my voice is also very feeling, and the voice exudes the charm of a mature woman. Our lives do not intersect, only go to work or go to the garbage once in a while, greet each other and go home.
I always know in my heart that Shanghai cannot be retained after all, after all, the cost of living in Shanghai is too large, leaving young people not only with the pressure of life, but also with the helplessness of the magic capital Shanghai. Although Shanghai is very large, but no money can only be regarded as a thirty-square-meter rental house, although Shanghai is very prosperous, without money there is no oriental pearl evening breeze, there is no Bund light show.
Although I rent a house alone, but life is also very free, I don't want to cook on the weekend, just order a takeaway, although the takeaway is not healthy, but they have begun to eat takeaway, where do you need to consider whether the takeaway is healthy. While soaking the noodles, I waited for the game to start. The size of his hometown called me and said that he was getting married, and asked me if I wanted to go back to my hometown to attend his wedding, and he said that although the house was bought in a small county town in Gaomi, it was also considered to have its own home. Listening to his story of falling in love with buying a house, my heart was full of mixed feelings, I couldn't eat any more, and the game hung up directly.
After pushing him off that he was too busy at work and couldn't go home to the wedding, I fell into meditation, I had been away from my hometown for so long, I didn't make money and didn't have a girlfriend, and my friends around me got married one after another and I was still wandering alone in other places. I don't know if my choice is right, I feel that the future is very confused, and I plan to go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes and relax. I was very irritable, I didn't expect to go home and find the key locked at home, called the landlord and said that I was asked to go to him the next day to get it. There was no way I could only smoke at the door first, thinking about what to do at night, where to live is a problem, I can't sit in front of the house all night, at least I have to go out to live in a hotel.
I sat in the doorway smoking, the next door female neighbor came home to open the door, still the same few words of greeting, but this time I was embarrassed to lock outside the door, and after a while she opened the door again, asked me if I wanted to go to her house first since I didn't have the key, she made me tea. I hesitated for a moment or went, after all, they are all neighbors, rejection is not good, anyway can not go home.
After entering her house, it felt different, the room was very tidy, the clothes on the hangers were neatly arranged, the room was small but the layout was comfortable. Greeted by a burst of fragrance in the room, the typical girl's home, much stronger than my pig's nest. Because she had just left work and said to change her clothes first, I was waiting for her on the couch, awkwardly clasping my phone.
After a while she came out, carrying a glass of water with her, and the two of them were chatting for the first time, and they were very embarrassed about each other, talking about work, chatting about hobbies. Finally, when it came to my plans for the future, I said that I was in difficulty today, I didn't want to stay in Shanghai anymore, I wanted to go back to my hometown, I didn't want to fight for any dreams, I didn't want to struggle.
She sat next to me and began to comfort me, she also came to Shanghai to work, but she felt that she did not need to put too much pressure on herself, life is like an exam, do not care about others to hand in the papers in advance, do your own answer is the most correct choice. She told me about her experience in Shanghai in recent years and the difficulties she encountered, she survived alone, listening to her experience, I felt that I was still not firm in my heart, not strong enough, I had to study like her, go my own way, and work hard for my own life.
We talked for three hours, a look at the phone time is very late, I should also consider the destination of the night, has been staying in her house is not good, so I went to the hotel opposite the community, will be one night tomorrow to go to the landlord to get the keys, today's chat with her made me very rewarding, if it is not her, I may have packed up my things and prepared to go back to my hometown.
Alas, there is no road in vain in life, every step is an experience, thank you to the little sister next door, I hope to chat often in the future, and I hope to become a better friend.
