This is a relatively backward village, and both married and unmarried yearn for the outside world. In addition to going to school and making a fortune, those who have no fortune will go to society early. At the beginning, I was quite excited when I changed from a student to a migrant worker. I always hummed small songs when working, but I soon taught a lesson. The person who led the lead said that you can't work like this, and when the boss heard it, he would think you were lazy.

Everyone must not be happy, otherwise they will be considered lazy in their work, and then they will be burdened, and in serious cases they will even be fired.

You must think this job must be very good, right? In fact, it is just the opposite. This is a small worker at a construction site, and even such a job is not stable. When a project is over, it means that migrant workers are unemployed.

If you don’t have skills or have a high level of education, you can’t get into a good factory. You either do odd jobs in the market or work in small workshops. The gig work in this market is generally some small work on construction sites, which is very unstable. Small workshops are usually private families who take on some tasks. The environment is usually poor and they also have a salary. They may not be able to pay wages for several months.

Twenty years ago, employment in China was not friendly to ordinary people. Not only was it difficult to find a job, but even if you found a job, the salary was also a serious problem. Many small bosses secretly ran away after the project was completed, and a large number of workers' hard-earned money was wasted.

The rule of law was not yet sound at that time. When you call the Public Security Bureau, people will refuse to accept the case on the grounds that it is not their own business scope. If you give feedback to the Labor Bureau, people will refuse to seek justice for you on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence or the subject does not exist.

When I went out, I had to drop out of school, and I was thousands of miles away from home, doing the hardest job and getting the pitiful salary, and I met some migrant workers at the bottom.

These people get up early and go to bed late every day, and work hard. The best thing to do on holidays is to improve their food and drink a small meal, and they feel very satisfied. Their desire for life is very low. As long as they include food and accommodation, they can work hard even if they live poorly or have poor food. After paying the salary, most of them will be mailed to your wife, and then buying chicken legs or something will be equivalent to improving your life.

However, even so, they still have to worry about their jobs. Whenever they have to pay their wages, they are worried, fearing that their boss will not pay them. Every time, the boss, who is nothing unexpected, will say that the turnover has been difficult recently, and will postpone it first, and then pay half of the salary until it can no longer be postponed. This was only considered a conscientious boss at that time.

They have no desire to improve themselves. Since they left their students' days, they will not learn and make progress. If they have to read books, they must have read martial arts novels or something. There was little entertainment in that era, and there was no popularization of short videos. They could draw spiritual happiness from reading novels. Of course, most people hate reading books. They don’t understand why they need to read books. How waste of time is reading books. They don’t understand why they need to have ideals. Can ideals be eaten?

Even though these bosses cheated them, they were still grateful and believed that the boss was their parents for food and clothing. No matter how hard or tired they were, they felt it was worth it at the moment of paying their wages. They would give a thumbs up to the boss who paid his salary in time, and feel that the boss has a conscience to not run away.

Of course, there are more bosses without conscience. If they can't escape, they will be scoundrels. They always say they have no money. If they can escape, they will run away quickly. For this reason, some people have no way to pay the bill, so they can only take risks, either climbing up the building and threatening to jump off the building, or gathering a group of people to arrest the boss, and then whether the bill is successful or not, the Public Security Bureau will come immediately and detain the migrant workers on the charge of provoking trouble. So in a sense, the rogue contractors have been protected to some extent. However, to this day, there are few such phenomena, and the main reason is that there are more people who understand the Dharma.

However, I wrote this article not mainly to illustrate the social phenomena at that time, but to illustrate the actions and spirit of not giving up on self-progress even in such an environment.

I finally left such a group, although I had been owed countless times and my boss ran away. Later, I looked for a job with someone I met in the market. He felt that what I had learned was definitely useful.

The two of us talked all the way, and looked at the job advertisement along the way. When we saw a recruitment advertisement on big red paper, my companion and I walked in. As soon as we entered the office, the old man who looked like a manager asked: We need a deputy general manager here, are you here to apply for the job?

I hesitated for a while and wanted to chat, but my companions hurriedly pulled me out, and apologized to others. I'm sorry, I disturbed me, we can't do it, and we went to the wrong place. I was suddenly a little disappointed.

I remained silent, but my companions kept talking endlessly, saying that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, we are not that material...

I sighed without a response, the road ahead is vast...

The next day, I went out by myself, and this time I didn’t want to go with my friend yesterday. Although I am a little introverted, I still long to do sales jobs.

However, many sales jobs are basically for making money. In that era, intermediaries used packaging to cheat money, and the so-called work units were basically harvesting leeks.

I found a job in alcohol sales through an intermediary. I thought I could go to business, but who knew that alcohol was fake? They just conspired with the intermediary to cheat the agency fees.

I woke up very early that morning and saw the girl who was also deceived. This time I followed her and the girl stopped.

Have you had a meal in the morning? I asked.

No, I don't eat in the morning.

I knew she didn't have much money on her, so when I passed by a pie stall, I bought 5 yuan of cakes and handed them to her, you can eat it.

She wanted to give it to me half apart, and I rude, I'm not hungry, you can eat it.

Thanks……

I'll give you 10 yuan and buy some food at noon. The boss said that the meeting might have come to drink.

I won’t go anymore, I can make some money by selling books in the square now.

I took her to the bus, but I went to the drinks boss.

After entering the door, the boss said straight to the point, it would take a month to get some malfunctions in the drinks. Do you have money? Pay a deposit of 1,200 yuan first.

It turned out that he wanted to continue to cheat on my money.

Of course, the result was a disagreement...

N years later, I went through a lot of things in the middle, so I still chose to do sales because I was diligent and studious, and my performance was excellent. I have summarized a lot of sales methods and solutions, and I really want to do something, but I don’t understand the political struggle in the workplace. I am just doing wedding dresses.

When it was late at night, I was thinking about where the talent was displayed?

When I was about to be reused, I chose to resign due to the pressure of life and other development opportunities. I thought I could display my talents in a small company, but I ignored that small companies also have politics, so reform is not easy.

Later, I focused on studying the Internet and through a lot of learning and research, I switched from PC e-commerce to WeChat e-commerce by chance. Finally, I displayed my talents on a certain platform, but I still made a wedding dress for someone.
