Light up life

1. Studying hardships

365 days a year, I can hear the voice of the mother and stepfather almost 300 days. The quarrel between the mother and the stepfather is endless, and they have serious differences of opinion on the expenses of their children.

The father died young, and the mother had to remarriage to the cruel stepfather in order to survive. The mother could not add a half-female to her stepfather, but also caused a family war between the mother and the stepfather. Our three brothers and sisters soon entered school, and their expenses increased. The stepfather fought us three times and five times, trying to force our sisters to drop out of school.

In the national hour, the tuition fee for each start of school is 26 yuan, but the 26 yuan is bad for the mother. Every time the school started, the mother asked the stepfather for tuition. At this time, the stepfather will shoot at our sisters and brothers. If they can't get rid of the gas, they will point their fists at the mother. We have nothing but crying or crying.

The stepfather thinks that when our brothers and sisters hold the proud transcripts, it means that all of our sisters and brothers will fly out of the nests, leave the home of the patchwork, and even leave the person who gives him the end of the pension. Can't live. The more you spend on studying, the stepfather becomes more and more ugly, and the more times you fight, the more people you fight.

Our younger brothers are still hungry. Especially in the season when the green and yellow are not connected, the stepfather often finds an excuse to punish us. Of course, the punishment is to eat one or two meals. Because of this, my brother and I learned to steal food supplies and pick up wild fruits. Near the large and small land temples and hills, my brother and I have traveled almost all over. What kind of temperate land temples are eaten, and which hills have wild fruits, I and my brothers remember clearly.

Even so, the stepfather is ultimately reluctant to take money for our sisters to study. Mothers and our sisters can only find new ways to make money. A large part of the tuition fees are made by cutting down the fire. But I noticed that if the wages of the felling are not enough, the mother will sell some jewelry or copper coins, which is the relic left by the father to the mother. My mother is actually suggesting that she has tried her best and hopes that I will cherish the hard-won reading opportunities.

I grew up while studying, and although the conditions were tough, the results never fell, first in the year.

Until my summer vacation in the second day of the second year, my mother and I asked the big brother for a summer vacation for the forest farm. It was an adult job. I did not refuse, and I could not refuse. My eldest brother and a few adults came to the uninhabited deep mountains, lived in the bark house, cut down the mixed trees and the weeds with a sickle and hatchet. The sun is very hot, and the work is very bitter. The most terrible thing is that if you accidentally slip out a snake or fly out a large group of horses. I was bitten by Ma Feng several times, my head was so swollen that I couldn't even open my eyes, but I never gave up. Because I have to start school in a blink of an eye, I have no reason to give up such a chance to make money.

One day before the start of school, my mother went to the forest farm to pay for the work, a total of 212 yuan. The mother did not say anything, but we know that the tuition fees have not been enough, and our brothers and sisters are destined to drop out of school at home. In the end, Big Brother made his decision to drop out of school because he thought he had grown into an adult, and he was more suitable for physical work.

Mother often shed tears for this matter. From the tears of my mother, I read the suffering and ruthlessness. I also know that my older brother, who is one year older than me, has played the role of father in the path of suffering.

2, wandering 45 days

In 1998, I graduated from technical secondary school. That year, it coincided with the reform of government institutions, which was originally ruined by the work arranged by the school.

Everything can only depend on myself, and I am determined. The home is for me to read the technical secondary school is already a debt, the mother's body is getting worse and worse, the older sister did not graduate from high school, she dropped out of school to the south.

I borrowed more than 300 yuan from my neighbors and friends, and I set foot on the train to Shenzhen. The future is awkward, but I must find the light. On the train, I went straight to the employment agency. When I took out the secondary school diploma, the person in charge of recruiting showed a trace of disdain and disdain. In Shenzhen, a group of college students, what is a secondary school student?

In order not to starve before I find a job, I try to go to the next employment agency and use one or two hoes for each meal. In the evening, after 12 o'clock, look for a roadside shop where you can stay, because the accommodation fee is much cheaper.

Even then, after a week, I have little money left, and I have to change the direction of my job search. I went to the suburbs and volunteered to sell myself to the factory. However, most of the factories need to be introduced by acquaintances, or they may have local household registration in Shenzhen. But I am unaccompanied in Shenzhen, where do I go to find introducers?

These days, I can only sleep under the bridge or in a small park. I can't find it for the security guards, or I will be beaten or even sent to labor camp for a few days.

Just when I was about to starve to the streets, the old man in a small electronics factory in Longgang District took me in. He introduced me to an ordinary security, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan. Since then, I have bid farewell to the days of starvation. .

It’s just 45 days since I got off the train to do the security. What do you feel about the days of wandering? I know, but I have no regrets. After all, the wandering church people know how to cherish the eyes, cherish the work, and be more down-to-earth.

3. Working life

In 2000, I took out all my savings and tested a freight driver's license, hoping to find a better job. After all, the wages of a technical job are several times higher than the general work, and it is easier to improve family life.

In the beginning, I just introduced it through acquaintances and did some scattered work everywhere. Those who enter large-scale transportation companies can make more money and work a lot easier.

That day, I drove a small truck to a construction site to transfer sand and garbage. Obviously, most people like this kind of work are not willing to do it. It’s just that the smell of rubbish is uncomfortable, let alone loading and unloading the car. When I transported all the sand and rubbish to the designated location, I was almost too tired to fall apart. At this time, I met Manager Yang, who is the manager of a thermal power plant transportation department. He was touched by my serious work attitude.

After that day, I successfully entered the transportation department of the thermal power plant. The work is a lot easier, and the salary can be more than 3,000 yuan per month. At the local level, such work is very difficult to get.

The reason for this small success is very simple - I was born humble, and I have been physically active since I was a child, and I have never been sloppy in my work. My purpose is to pay off all the debts of the family as soon as possible, and I can safely spend my days and have a small family of my own.

The conversion of this work has exposed me to a new environment and I am eager to get more. The grace and love under the shade of the green, the air-conditioned rush from the high-rise building, the busy shuttle figure, stunned me. I saw a completely different life from childhood. I am eager to live like this, and I am constantly motivating myself to forge ahead.

4, choose a family

I know that when I say that I choose a family, everyone will look at me with a different look. In this materialistic society, who is not the first to put money? Who is willing to live a mediocre family life?

Because, after working in the Ministry of Transport of the Thermal Power Plant for five years, I became a family and bought a house in the county. The mother saw the old days, and the stepfather also hoped to be taken care of. There are indications that I must stay with my family, give them warmth, stop running around, and stop worrying about me.

After all sorts of thoughts, I chose the popular civil service exam. But I only have a secondary school culture, which has become a hindrance to the qualification of the exam. Hard work pays off, an unexpected opportunity comes. In that year, it was enough to have two jobs in the county that only required a secondary school diploma. So, I did not hesitate to sign up for reference.

During the exam, I sat down with college students and undergraduates. I am a little excited and worried, but my seriousness, perseverance, and hard work have not been in vain. I have conquered the examiner with the first written test and interview. Especially during the interview, my calm and excellent answer was unanimously recognized by all examiners. When I said part of my experience, the room was very quiet, I know, such a story is enough to touch a person's heart.

The happiness of the family has nothing to do with the amount of money, and has nothing to do with the level of status. This is my true heart and the true heart of every happy family.

After so much, I am still a humble person, a drop of water in the sea. But I can proudly say that I have created my own life and I have made this home more complete. I can't express how much I love my family, but my home is filled with laughter every day.

Life tells me: Whether you are a servant or a rich man, a teacher or a worker, no matter where you are born, where you are, and only when you light your life for yourself, life is really bright and no longer lost.
