Text/Miscellaneous Kid Old Du
Most people have a dream from a young age, especially rural children, when they grow up, they must work and live in the city, see the prosperity of the big city, and enjoy the convenience of the big city. So from a young age, I studied seriously, was admitted to high school, then college, and after college, I had the opportunity to stay in the city, just like the ancient imperial examination, which may be able to change my life, leave a good environment for the ancestors to shine on the ancestors and leave a good environment for the backstage. How many people in reality have achieved it? I believe that as long as Enough effort is made, it is still very likely to be achieved.
Some time ago, I went to Guangzhou to visit a college classmate, graduated for more than ten years, has already established a family, before seeing, always think about how to greet and chat? After all, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the lives and work of both sides are not very familiar, and I don't know what it looks like?
After I came out of a subway station, he picked me up and said that the one where I lived was nearby, very close. Although we have not seen each other for many years, we still hug and laugh when we meet, there is no unnecessary polite remarks, we are all people of the same personality, taciturn, but realistic.
Would love to see how he's doing? He didn't speak for half a day, said just like that, went to work and left work step by step, there were few friends here, his family was not around, he was alone, he felt like a person, but not a person.
Help me with my luggage and take it with me to a nearby urban village. When you go out of the subway station, you feel that the surrounding area is still good, and as you move forward, the atmosphere of the urban village is getting more and more serious.
I have not been to Guangdong before, I feel that this place should be very developed, high-rise buildings have been seen on the road, traffic has been felt, but the gap between rich and poor here is also felt.
He said don't look at the rags here, but it's going to be demolished soon, and everyone will be millionaires by then. And I have to change places again, it is not easy to find a cheap place in a big city!
After graduating for more than ten years, I worked in many cities, and finally came here to stabilize. A few years ago, I got married, I had children, but I couldn't come together, the consumption here was too high, I couldn't afford to buy a house, I bought a house in the county town of the family, mother and son were at home, I came out to work, I went home for the New Year, and occasionally they came over.
Walking through an alley, both sides of the street are small restaurants, vegetable markets, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc., food, clothing, housing and transportation, the only bad thing is that it looks dirty and messy, and the street is narrow.
He said that there are a lot of migrant workers living here, the transportation is convenient, the life is convenient, it is still very good, a person asks for so much, can earn money, can save a little is a point, anyway, do not live here for a lifetime.
On the side of the road saw a small stall selling cold skins. There are also northern cool skins here, I have to taste, said to buy two. The price was also very affordable and unexpected. It's no wonder the cost of living is lower here.
Turn into an alley in front of you, and the road is even narrower. On both sides are small high-rise buildings, both built by themselves, which look dark and damp, and here it is hot, emitting the smell of garbage, the smell of stir-fry, and the smell of stinky water, all mixed together, even more unpleasant. Many of the first floors are small workshops for making clothes, and the machines are buzzing non-stop. No wonder this is a very famous clothing wholesale center in China, every household has a small workshop, you can make clothes, no wonder it is so cheap, the amount is large.
In less than a moment, we arrived at the place where we lived, it was a homestay apartment, the price was very cheap, less than a thousand yuan a month. Each floor is a shared bathroom, one room for one resident, but also convenient.
Entering his room, it is indeed relatively simple, there is no big furniture, a bed and a table, can sleep and sit on the line. Friends can only sit on the bed.
We are all rural people, and no one will dislike these things. Talk to each other about some of the situations over the years.
I used to be very interested in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, so I asked him how it felt to work and live here. Don't you feel particularly comfortable? Do you feel particularly faceless when you go back?
Not exactly, he said. There are hard times to work in big cities, and there are also convenient places. What do you want to say? Just two words, loneliness, at least mentally very lonely.
Here, on the surface, there is a decent job, sitting in the office building during the day, you can shout takeaway, eat fast food, drink coffee; take the subway after work; wear a suit and leather shoes, dress up and look like a person, but back in this place, you feel that it is nothing.
Here, there are no relatives and friends, colleagues are also from other places, most of them are like this, there are few deep friends, only the company may eat together when they have dinner, go back to their homes after work, and no one is willing to organize the bureau. As for why? I feel that there is a lack of common language, life circles, habits and hobbies are also different, except for work, there is nothing to talk about. So there are almost no friends, and now the friends are basically the same as the former high school and college classmates, that is the real friends.
Not to mention the family, all in their hometown. The happiest time of the day is video chatting with them at night. A lot of things that can't be said with colleagues can be talked about, but many things can't be said, I feel that I can't let them worry too much, I am safe outside, and they are also at ease.
In this neighborhood, the level of consumption is indeed very low, but out of this place is another day. Eat expensive, even if you can afford to spend, you are not willing to waste that money; the house price is even more expensive, it is said that at their own salary level, it is easy to buy a house in their hometown, but here, instead of an annual salary of millions, it is still very difficult to buy a house. So I couldn't afford to buy a house, so I became a part-time worker.
Do you know? I'm here, I don't go out a few times a year, and I still don't know what attractions, shopping malls, and fun places are here, and I don't even know the way without navigation.
Why? Every day is two o'clock and one line, either going to work or hiding here, I don't want to go anywhere, and it is not interesting to go, so I am not familiar with it. Sometimes the wife comes with the child and doesn't know where to go. Anyway, not here, it's a fun place.
I've been here for seven or eight years, do you say you have feelings? It's not quite right. There is nothing but a place to work, what feelings can there be?
Sometimes I also want to go home, although I earn less, but my relatives and friends are around, and I am happy and harmonious. But think about the salary situation here, first bear with it!
Although the salary here is high, the requirements are also high, and the competitive pressure is also great. There is almost no day without overtime, as long as you do not work hard, you can be replaced at any time, there is no shortage of anything here, that is, there is no shortage of people, every year there are a large number of foreign young people to come, the company wants to find what kind of no ah!
So sometimes, there are some things that can be endured, not when they were young and vigorous, and if they can't, they will change. Now people think you can't do it, so change it.
There are old and young, and I used to think it was a joke. Now that I think about it, I have met it, and I feel that it is a joke. This is the reality, no matter how much money you earn, you have to spend every day, how much can you save? Unless you earn far more than you support.
Every year when I go home for the New Year, it is both exciting and sad, excited that I am about to go home, and uncomfortable is that the ticket is too difficult to grab. Every year when I get home, I Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can't stay for a few days and come back again. Year after year passed.
After listening to him talk so much, I felt the same in my heart. No matter where you work and live, it is not easy. There is no need for anyone to laugh at anyone, no need to comment on anyone, how the days are going, only they know.
Big cities have the benefits of big cities, we enjoy them at the same time are also working hard, whether it is after 80, 90 or 00, to come to such a place to work hard, otherwise we will not get anything. In the eyes of others, you are glamorous, but you know what the facts are?
In order to continue to live, hard work is the last word.
