Time passes very quickly, and many graduates have already boarded the train heading south to Guangdong. They will be arranged by agencies to work in factories in Shenzhen, Dongguan and other cities to become assembly line workers.
This is their destiny, and time is also luck. They were born at the wrong time, so they can only become victims of this era. There are also young people who are not willing to accept their fate and embark on the road of entrepreneurship. For example, Wei Liang has already defected to
Brother in the provincial capital, I opened an Internet cafe.
Most of dormitory 601 has been gone, and there are only two people left. One is Li Lei, who is the most dull, and the other is Li Yi, who is also a bit introverted. The two of them feel that they are in the same boat, and their work has not been done yet.
landing.
Although he had several opportunities to go south to Guangdong to become an assembly line worker like most of his classmates, Li Lei found that he was even a little afraid of such a distant place, those electronics factories and toy factories. He didn't know where he would get there.
What kind of situation is it like? Maybe I can't bear the hardship, or maybe I'm not willing to leave my hometown and work in a humble and boring job with a meager salary in an unfamiliar place.
But seeing that his classmates were all leaving, Li Lei began to feel anxious. Finally, a few days later, he accepted his fate, but this time he went to Suzhou. In addition to Guangdong, there are also many factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
, requiring a large number of assembly line workers.
Li Lei's idea is very simple. It is said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. There are so many beauties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the story of the White Snake takes place there. This TV series has deeply influenced Li Lei's generation of young people.
Maybe it would be much better to go there than to Guangdong, and maybe I could meet a beautiful woman. Li Lei, who is introverted and dull, has never been in love in the four years of technical secondary school.
It is abnormal for young people to have no ideas.
Later, Li Lei realized how ignorant and ridiculous his thoughts at that time were. This decision also made his life direction different from that of other classmates.
Life is like this, no one knows what the future will be like, and character determines fate. Perhaps Li Lei's fate has been arranged long ago.
He was about to leave his hometown. Li Lei returned to his hometown in the countryside and said goodbye to his parents.
Li Lei's parents are both honest farmers. His father, Li Shu, graduated from junior high school and later became a production captain. He has been doing this for more than 20 years. Of course, the production captain does not have much money. He only earns dozens of yuan a month. Of course it is a matter of course.
Not much, his main job is still farming, and the other thing he does is run a small business so that Li Lei can go to a technical secondary school.
Li Lei's mother, Wang Yuying, is a rural woman who has not graduated from elementary school. She usually doesn't talk much and is a very virtuous woman. It's a pity that God is not open to her. She contracted the disease before she gave birth to Li Lei.
It was a very incurable disease, so the couple only had one precious son.
Fortunately, Li Lei is also very ambitious. He has been obedient since he was a child and performed very well in school. His grades have always been among the best. He ranked first in the class every term and was among the top three in the entire grade. Later, he was admitted to a technical secondary school.
, the couple was very happy at that time.
Because technical secondary school students were still assigned jobs at that time, Li Lei's admission to technical secondary school was equivalent to leaving the farm and having an enviable job in the future.
But now it's better. After spending so much money and going to technical secondary school for four years, the result is still the same as those rural children with poor grades who went out to work after graduating from junior high school. They have to go to coastal cities to work in factories as assembly line workers.
This result is unacceptable to both Li Shu and Wang Yuying, but what can be done? The situation is like this. Once this matter gets out, people will probably laugh at it.
At this time, Li Shu remembered how he had tried to persuade this kid Li Lei to apply for a secondary normal school, but the kid didn't listen at all. He felt that he was not the material to be a teacher and had to go to an ordinary technical secondary school. Now, okay?
.
Taking a deep breath of dry smoke, Li Shu frowned and said: "Li Lei, your parents tried their best to persuade you to apply for the middle school normal school examination, but you didn't listen. Now it's okay, let's see how people laugh at us."
Li Lei lowered his head, not daring to look at his father, and whispered: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had listened to you and Teacher Li, I wouldn't be like this today. But what can I do now?
My classmates all went to the coast to work, so I had no choice but to follow them."
At this time, Li Lei's mind couldn't help but recall the scene when he graduated from junior high school four years ago. At that time, not only his parents persuaded him to apply for the middle school normal school, but his head teacher Li Tian also kept telling him that applying for the middle school normal school would be a good idea.
After graduating from a secondary school in three years, you can become a primary school teacher.
Li Tian likes Li Lei very much, and told him at the beginning that after graduating from the middle school normal school, he could help arrange the arrangements for him to teach at the central primary school in the town. Being a teacher is good, not to mention a stable job, and there are still winter and summer vacations, so he can go home.
Help parents with some farm work.
Li Tian and Li Lei's family are a production team, so Li Tian is very aware of the situation of Li Lei's family. Li Lei's mother has been working in farming for many years, and many people in the village feel that Wang Yuying is quite pitiful.
Li Lei has felt sorry for his mother since he was a child. He has always wanted to work when he grows up. After earning money, he can take his mother to a big hospital and cure her illness. He even thinks about becoming a doctor when he grows up, but that is just a childhood dream.
.
The reality is before us. Not only has Li Lei failed to realize his dream, but he is about to become the object of ridicule. Not to mention asking his parents to retire early and stop doing so hard farm work, even whether he can support himself is a big problem.
question mark.
Although I can earn a few hundred yuan a month by working as an assembly line worker in a coastal factory, I have no future at all, and it doesn't sound good to me. After all, I am a technical secondary school student, not one of those who graduated from a junior high school.
I regretted it at the time. If I had listened to my parents and teachers and applied for the Normal University, how could I be in today's situation? Li Lei felt very regretful at this time. He didn't listen to the old man's words and suffered a loss in front of him. This really came true.
But now there is no way to change it. Wang Yuying, on the other hand, felt very sorry for her son. Seeing her son's remorseful look, she comforted him: "Li Lei, my parents know this, and I can't blame you. This is the national policy. What do we little people have to do?"
What’s the solution? When you get there, work hard and take care of yourself, you know?”
At this moment, Li Lei felt his nose was sore and tears rolled out of his eyes. He felt that he was very useless and sorry for his parents, especially his mother. Her condition was getting worse all the time, but for him to go to this technical secondary school, she still worked hard.
He worked hard to take care of this family, but now he has nothing to repay and can only hope for the future.
