Adventures of Little Stone (3)

Xiaoshitou went all the way south to China, the best-developed and most prosperous metropolis. Standing on the overpass, he looked at the city carefully. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were many tall buildings, the streets were full of traffic, the crowds were like the tide, and rows of street lamps, road signs and various billboards guarded the city like rows of majestic patrons! Formed a beautiful landscape. Pedestrians in the street are in a hurry, wishing they could grow wings to fly! This is the metropolis he has been longing for for for a long time. Is it the distance in her heart?

This may be the turning point for him to realize his dream! He thought about walking into the crowd, disappearing into the vast sea of people and starting to pursue his dream! He searched carefully for job advertisements in every street and alley, and then went in and asked, "Boss, do you need anyone here?" How many times has he asked this sentence today? Some looked at him and said no, some didn't look at him seriously, and what's more, he was directly kicked out by outsiders! The incomprehensible Minnan dialect and the wonderful Minnan cultural customs made him realize that it is difficult to go out at home for a thousand days! To tell the truth, in those days, when a person was in a foreign land and had no friends, he didn't have any skills except a strong body exercised in the army, and he didn't need it in society when he went to school in the army. It was really difficult and difficult to find a good job!

? The ideal is always full, but the reality is very skinny! He walked aimlessly in this strange city, walking through the streets and alleys, pursuing his declared dream, but she was so far away! Unconsciously, he returned to the overpass, and suddenly he felt some regrets. After running around for a day without results, he returned to the original point! Night has pulled down the curtain, and he re-examines the city: the lights are on, and the city is covered with a colorful coat, which is particularly charming. This is what she calls a wonderful world, a dreamy neon light! But can't you really find your own place here? Dream-chasing teenagers are a little discouraged! Where is she now? How I wish she were in this city, and immediately appeared in front of him, and they would go after their dreams together. Night accompanied by dreams accompanied him to sleep!

Wandering in the streets and buildings, my heart is full of horses and hunting grounds, which is the most remarkable fragility and confusion. However, in this way, there are impermanences outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains, so I still go back to my old place after falling into my heart! ..... The song floating in the distance, listening to the small stone, can't help but feel sad! Isn't this lyric a portrayal of him! He is fascinated by listening and walking! Looking up, I found myself walking into a dead end unconsciously, and a tall building blocked the way! He stopped to observe that this building is about fifteen or sixteen stories high. At the beginning of which era, it should be the tallest building! There is a steady stream of people coming in and out at the door, in a hurry. Some wear suits and ties with briefcases, and some wear overalls to load and unload workers on trucks. He looked at the house number and saw the words company. Just when he was in a daze, Ga ... Zhi! With a bang, slam the brakes! A black car stopped at his feet, only to see the driver roll down the glass and stick his head out "Don't want to live! Get out of the way! " Only then did he find himself standing in the middle of the road and getting in the way! Small stone hurriedly bowed to apologize, then only heard the creak of the car door opened, and then put out a pair of feet wearing cloth shoes. A man in his mid-twenties stepped down from the car, with a square face and a high nose, and a pair of bright eyes made up for his small size, wearing a cotton and linen coarse gown, which was slightly spirit in simplicity. If the driver hadn't held an umbrella for him, he would have said, Manager Li, please! You will never believe that this little man in front of you is the manager of this company! It's all that glitters is not gold, and the sea is beyond measure!

? Small stone bent, low head waiting for the manager! I thought I might be in trouble. A pair of strong hands lifted him up and looked at him carefully. Small stone was too scared to look him in the eye! Manager Li said, young man, why are you standing here in a daze? Is there any difficulty? Can I help you? Xiao Shi didn't mean to blame his boss for being so amiable. I'm flattered. I can't believe my ears. I'm sorry, boss, I'm just looking for a job, and I walked here inadvertently, blocking your way. Oh! ....., the manager looked him over again, then turned around and said something to his driver! Patted the little stone on the shoulder and turned and walked into the tall building.

? Tell me, young man, what can you do? Do you have any special skills? What level of education? The driver's series of questions puzzled him, and he didn't know what medicine the driver was selling in the gourd! He looked at him blankly and said, my junior high school culture has nothing special except being a soldier for three years! But I am in good health, full of strength and ambition! After that, I feel a little ashamed! The driver looked at him, shook his head and sighed, and said to himself, what a pity! All right! Then come with me, get in the car and I'll take you to a place. Small stone got on the bus in fear and trembling, thinking that I have nothing anyway and I am not afraid that you will sell me, so I will go with you! See what medicine you are selling! The driver's master dragged him to a wide beach and stopped at a dock. Get off, young man! I thought you were looking for a job! Get off and see if you are willing to do the work here. I thought you said you had plenty of strength! This should be perfect for you! Little stone suddenly realized that this is meeting a noble person! He is arranging work for me! He shook the driver's hand excitedly and even said thank you, thank you!

Looking around, people are coming and going on the dock, and several big burly men are constantly carrying things to the boat, shuttling back and forth, so busy! He thinks that although he is not as big as they are, he has a good physical fitness after years of training in the army and should be competent for this job! He thanked the driver again and expressed his willingness to try! The driver patted him on the shoulder and said, then stay here and do a good job. They won't treat you badly! Turn around and say hello to the steward here: Wang Laoda, he will be yours! A lot of attention, and then drove away. Wang Laoda nodded and said, Don't worry! The small stone bowed deeply to the distant car dust! Thank you!

Boss Wang turned around and looked at the small stone for a long time: What's your name, young man? Pointing to the workers at work, he said, can you do this job? The eyes seemed to say, "That wild boy from there is so thin, it's too much to chew." However, on second thought, for the manager's sake, the dock was indeed short of hands and took it. Xiaoshitou briefly introduced himself and said, "You can just call me Xiaoshitou. What can I do for you?"! Take care! Boss Wang said: OK! I'm in charge here. Come to me if you have anything in the future. Do it well, young man! After he arranged a job for Xiaoshi, he turned around with his hand behind his back and walked away!

? He is a tall man with a fat figure in vain. A full face of those present, a beard all over one third of the whole face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips, and a powerful voice when speaking. It's a bit like the dock boss in the movie! At first glance, it is the kind of role that can curb people! You must be careful when you work in the future, Xiao Shi thought in his heart!

? Since then, he has settled down in this vast seaside pier. Began a career as a porter. Porter _ As the name implies, it is hard work! Eat by strength! More work, more gain. Get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog! It's not easy to have a job in this foreign land, so settle down first and then take a long-term view! Small stone think like this.

where is the money to earn? There is no good job at all, and there are sweat and tears behind every successful person. Although he is sometimes tired and sore all over, sometimes he is bullied by colleagues who come first! He knows that this is the normal state of society! So swallow your pride, no matter where you go, you, a new stranger, have to pay tuition if you want to integrate into this team. So the hard work and dirty work will naturally be done by him, a newcomer. And you have to rush to do it! No complaints, or you will be out! No matter how much your parents cherish you at home, you are a worker and an independent individual in society. Here, regardless of age. Fortunately, he understood this truth when he was in the army, and he was able to stand up and stand out! Every night he lay there tired and didn't want to move! But the thought of parents far away from home and the "little fairy" living in his heart is full of energy! Full of energy, he wants to earn as much as he can. Besides his living expenses, he can also supplement some for his parents in his hometown and help his sister go to school. Wait until that day when you return home dressed in rags, you will be eligible to find a fairy! He is looking forward to and dreaming of their bright future! Anyway, I am young, and my strength is like inexhaustible water in the sea! What's wrong with being tired and bitter!

? However, whenever he looks at his workmates, sometimes they are exhausted in order to earn more money, and they lie there like dead pigs! My heart is very uncomfortable, and this society is like this: those who contribute don't make money, and those who make money don't contribute! Whenever he squatted down and tried his best to carry heavy goods, sometimes his legs would tremble at the end of the day. In addition, the sun in the south, especially the hot sun, tanned his already white skin! The seaside climate is like entering a sauna at noon, and the tide is hot! Every time at this time, he can't help but start to regret that he didn't go to school for more years. It's true that the knowledge side knows little when it is used! It's all because my family is too poor, my parents can't afford tuition and have never learned a skill! People often say: if you have ambition, you will work hard without ambition. In this increasingly rapid development of science and technology society, his knowledge is undoubtedly too lacking, and he knows this! But he also knows that this job is by no means his destination, and he must make a breakthrough.

Sleeping in the staff dormitory by the sea at night, listening to the ebb and flow of seawater lapping the coast, I can't help thinking a lot. He began to plan how to catch up with this rapidly discovered society. This society is so unfair. Watching the stewards wear clean clothes and walk around the dock with their hands behind their backs is more than twice as much as their salary. Look at the accountant who keeps accounts for them. He is not much older than himself. He can get twice as much salary as them by sitting at the accounting desk and tapping the abacus every day. Look at yourself and your workmates who are as tired as horses every day, holding a meager salary and smelling of sweat! I'm still a young guy, and I haven't found anyone yet! I feel a little old! This is the gap and the cruel reality! He can't help feeling that he has been unconsciously left at the bottom of society by the pace of social development! This society has never been fair! What ideals and ambitions depend on their shallow culture, how can they get along in this bustling metropolis? What are you talking about? He can't help asking himself? After a few days of ideological struggle, it has gradually become clear that if you want to change your destiny, you must start learning. After all, knowledge changes your destiny!

? People are always discovering their own shortcomings in order to set new goals for themselves. Little Stone has a new plan in his heart ...
