The huge sun hangs on the sky, splashing heat on the ground ruthlessly. In such a weather, the clothes will be wet if you walk a dozen steps.

Luo Ding licked his dry lips and looked back reluctantly in the refrigerator of the convenience store on the street. He reached into his right hand and pinched it. It was more than fifty yuan there. This was his last property. He had to save money. Buying a bottle of mineral water was too luxurious for Luo Ding.

Shenning City is a modern metropolis. In the tide of reform and opening up thirty years ago, the city became one of the most dazzling stars in the world. For many people, this is a city that seeks dreams and realizes them.

Luo Ding is a dreamer. He is not willing to spend his life in that remote small village facing the loess and backs to the sky and the earth, so he came to Shenning City with 200 yuan with hope.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Luo Ding, who finished high school, was a talented person within a radius of hundreds of miles of his hometown, but when he arrived in Shenning City, he found that he was not even a little ant.

He raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at the tall buildings that seemed to be thrust into the sky above his head. Luo Ding sighed deeply. He knew that it was impossible for him to find a job in such a place.

Luo Ding remembered the urban village he passed by at night. There were many small shops in the urban village. He hoped that he could find a job in those places. No matter what, he said, there was a place to settle down first.

A few hours later, it was almost dark.

Luo Ding stood on a small street, feeling depressed. He thought that it was not difficult to find a job for chores with his 1.70 meters tall and strong body, but the facts proved that he was still too stupid and naive.

In the past few hours, Luo Ding walked into more than twenty small shops of various types, but none of them were willing to take him in.

After covering his stomach and hesitating for a while, Luo Ding finally walked towards a food stall more than ten meters away. Because he didn't have much money on him, he hadn't eaten anything until noon yesterday, but now he felt that if he didn't eat anything, he would probably faint from hunger.

"Boss, what are you eating?" As soon as Luo Ding sat down, an aunt came over and asked with a notebook in her hand.

"This... I'll have a plate of green vegetables." Luo Ding glanced at the stall with basins of cooked vegetables and said hesitantly.

"What else?"

"No more." Luo Ding lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Hmph!" The aunt's eyes swept Luo Ding's body like a knife, and turned around impatiently.

Luo Ding knew that the aunt must have wanted to kill herself at this time. This situation has happened many times. The reason why he chose this food stall for dinner was because there was a sign on this food stall: rice is not expensive!

In order to save money, Luo Ding ordered a dollar of vegetables every time, and then tried his best to eat rice. Luo Ding was forced to do so. Who told him that he had no money? Luo Ding, who had eaten five bowls of rice, finally "escape" and left the food stall.

The night slowly descended, the street lights began to light up, and Luo Ding walked slowly along the street. After temporarily resolving his hunger, Luo Ding's heart began to become anxious again.

The remaining money is not much, and even if he saves money, he can't hold on for a few days - if he can't find a job after spending all the remaining money, he can only stay on the streets and eventually become a beggar. Even the remaining money is not enough at this time to buy a ticket to go home, and even if Luo Ding regrets it, it will be useless.

"I will definitely find a job!" Luo Ding tightly held his right hand and cheered himself up. He decided to look along the street before it was too late to see if he could find a job.

Wang Yun sat behind the counter, stunned, with a sad face. She ran a small shop herself. Although she worked hard, her life was quite comfortable, but all of this changed since her father fell ill.

In the past six months, Wang Yun has taken her father around and traveled around. All major hospitals across the country have been traveling, but they can't find out what disease they have.

In the past six months, money was spent like flowing water, and the original savings were all spent all at once. At the beginning, relatives and friends could still borrow some money, but later they couldn't borrow a penny. But they still had to see the disease, and they had to spend money when they were treated. Wang Yun had no choice but to have the idea of ​​borrowing usury.

Wang Yun is not unaware that loan sharks are a demon who eats people and does not spit bones, but she really has no other way to think about it. As long as the person is still there, there is hope, let alone his own father? Wang Yun really can't watch his father wait for death.

"It seems that I can only borrow it." Wang Yun gritted his teeth fiercely and made up his mind.

He looked up and looked at the shop of about ten square meters. Wang Yun sighed. For the sake of his father's illness, Wang Yun also thought of transferring the shop. However, this shop called Shanyuanju was built by his father and was also the source of life for the family. Shanyuanju sells sacrificial supplies such as incense, candles, fire and paper. There are not many shops like Shenning City, and it can basically be regarded as a solo business. As long as you operate, you will have a lot of income in a month. If you sell it, you will have nothing left.

However, if this continues, Wang Yun doesn't know how long she can hold on.

"It seems that I have to find someone to help me see the store, otherwise this store can't be opened." Wang Yun thought to herself. In the past six months, in order to take her father to see a doctor, the store was often closed, so the business in the store has been greatly affected in the past six months. If this continues, it would not work. Next, she would have to take her father to another hospital for examination, so it is imperative to find someone to help me see the store.

Thinking of this, Wang Yun did not hesitate anymore, found a piece of red paper, simply wrote a recruitment information, and posted it outside the store.

"It seems like I have to find a place to spend the night and continue to look for it tomorrow." There were fewer and fewer people on the street. Luo Ding felt his big feet were sore after walking for a day.

In order to save money, Luo Ding couldn't find a hotel to stay in. He couldn't bear to leave even the cheapest. It's still summer, so he just needs to find a place where he can lie, such as a stone bench and wooden chair. After coming to Shenning City, he always gave up like this.

"Hey! Recruiting people here?"

Luo Ding, who was about to find a place to spend the night, suddenly saw a piece of red paper sticking in front of a small shop with lights on not far away. He felt aroused in his heart and immediately walked over.

"This store recruits an employee who is over 18 years old. Those who are interested will enter the store to negotiate."

Standing in front of the red paper, Luo Ding carefully read the words on it and looked up at the store, he couldn't help but be stunned.

There are three golden words written on a sign on the black background:

"Good fate."

The shop is not big, and it looks only about ten square meters. What is different from the other shops around it is brightly lit. The lights in this shop are dim and there is a God of Wealth under the wall facing the street. Incense and candles are lit on both sides of the God of Wealth. After looking carefully, I found that the store is not selling ordinary items, but incense, candles, paper money, various Buddha statues, etc.

"It turned out to be a candle shop." Luo Ding was a little hesitant, but after thinking for a while, he bit his teeth and walked into the shop. Now he can't even eat, so it's meaningless to consider what kind of work to do.

"Hello, are you going to recruit workers here?" When Luo Ding walked into the store, he was stunned for a long time when he saw the person sitting behind the counter. In his imagination, the owner of such a store should be an old man wearing reading glasses, but to his surprise, he was a young and pretty young woman of twenty-seven or eight years old.

Wang Yun was also stunned for a moment. The red paper was just less than ten minutes after it was posted, and someone came to apply for the job. He raised his head and looked at Luo Ding standing in front of him. Wang Yun couldn't help but nodded gently.

Luo Ding knew at a glance that he was not old, but he gave people a very calm feeling. His thick eyebrows, big eyes and tall and strong body gave Wang Yun a very good first impression.

"Where are you from?" Wang Yun asked.

"I am from Tianhua City, Luo Province, Zhejiang Province." Luo Ding couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew that many people wanted to recruit his fellow villagers. His failure to find a job before was also closely related to this reason. After all, for many small shops, finding a reliable person is the most important thing, and fellow villagers are undoubtedly the first choice. Luo Ding didn't know where the pretty woman sitting in front of him was. If she was not his fellow villagers, then the job would be ruined again.

Wang Yun thought for a while and said, "Did you bring your ID card?"

"Take it." Luo Ding took out his ID card and handed it to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun took Luo Ding's ID card, and when he saw it, his eyes lit up. He found that the address column above read Yangshui Village, Tiantou Town, Zhanchuan County, Tianhua City, Zhejiang Province.

"You are from Tiantou Town? Do you know Beipo Town?"

When Luo Ding heard this, he was overjoyed and knew that he might have met a fellow villager. He hurriedly said, "I know, there is a mountain separated from our town, and there are dozens of miles of road."

"What's going on now? I'm from Beipo Town, but I've been out since my father's generation, and I haven't been back for many years." Wang Yun went back a few times when she was very young, but she never went back later. Now she's very friendly when she sees her fellow villagers.

Luo Ding shook his head and said, "It's not like it, it has remained unchanged for a thousand years, and it has even worse in the past two years. Young people have come out to work, and the rest are the elderly and children."

Luo Ding is the truth. In recent years, the middle-aged laborers in many places have gone out to work and make money. Only the elderly and children will stay in the village, forming many so-called left-behind villages. This is because staying in the local area can’t support themselves. Although it is painful to leave the hometown, there is still hope, and maybe they can make a personal appearance. Don’t talk about others, did Luo Ding think so too? Otherwise, how could he come to Shenning City?

Wang Yun was also depressed and shook her head. She was also worried now. She was even more powerless in this kind of thing and said, "Luo Ding, my name is Wang Yun. You can call me Sister Yun. Next, I have other things to be busy with, and I don't have much time to take care of the store, so I have to hire someone. We are fellow villagers, so I told you directly. My store is relatively small, and the salary cannot be opened for you too high, 800 yuan a month. However, there is an overhead floor on the second floor of this store, which is the warehouse in the store, but you can place a bed and you can live there, which can save a lot of money. I think you are working hard when you come to Shenning City. Although the place here is small, there is at least a place to stay. If you find another way in the future, you will leave..."

Luo Ding was overjoyed when he heard this. This was great. His experiences over the past few days made him understand how difficult it was to find a job in a place like Shenning City. Now Wang Yun gave himself a chance to settle down and solve the basic life problems. Then he will see how to develop in the future.

"Sister Yun, thank you, I will definitely work hard and earnestly."

Wang Yun nodded and said, "It's not easy to go out. If you can, please help me. I'll be much more relaxed after I have you. We'll get what we need."

"But this means a lot to me." Luo Ding said seriously.

Wang Yun's impression of Luo Ding was a little bit better. Being able to say such words showed that Luo Ding was not as irritable as ordinary young people of this age. She had hired a few people before, but after working for a few days, she felt that her salary was too low and she was lazy in her work, so later she simply managed it alone.

"Okay, then you will start working tomorrow. By the way, I'm going to buy goods tomorrow, so let's go together." Wang Yun said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

...

Shenning City is a modern metropolis, while Shenzhong Avenue is a road running through the east and west of the city, with ten lanes in one direction. In the center of the road is a green belt that is five meters wide, with green grass as green as blankets and colorful flowers on it. On both sides there are green belts that are more than ten meters wide, and tall trees are planted. Behind the green belt are office buildings that are dozens of stories high, which makes the entire avenue look extremely majestic. To be honest, when Luo Ding, who first came to Shenning City to see this avenue, was shocked - when did Luo Ding, who was used to seeing the sloppy path in his hometown, saw such a road?

Luo Ding sat on an iron bench on the edge of a bus station on Shenzhong Avenue, raised the coke in his hand and took a sip. The cold dark red liquid quickly poured into his stomach, making him shivering. This was the best enjoyment in the hot summer. After finding a job, Luo Ding bought himself a can of coke as a reward for himself. Before he found a job, he did not dare to be such a luxury. You must know that this is the price of several meals!

I can only sleep on the overhead floor of Shanyuanju after I start working tomorrow, so Luo Ding will spend the night on the bench tonight like the previous night.

"call!"

After breathing out a breath of turbid air, Luo Ding leaned against the back of the chair and slowly relaxed his body. A burst of fatigue that could not be suppressed suddenly surged up. He had been unable to find a job these days, and he had been under tremendous pressure. Now that he found the job, Luo Ding's heart breathed a lot.

Looking up, although the night was already deep, there were still cars coming and going on the entire Shenzhong Avenue, and it was prosperous. Luo Ding knew that all this had nothing to do with him. In this city, he was just a little person who was still struggling on the food and clothing line. But who could say that he would not be rich in the future?

"I will definitely make a name for myself!"
