Under the scorching sun, Jiang Wei carried a camouflage bag and walked drowsily on the streets in the afternoon.

The scorching sun made him a little dehydrated. He licked his lips and wanted to buy a bottle of water, but he was reluctant.

I wanted to find a place to drink some tap water, but I was worried that I would get a stomachache.

He squatted in the shadow behind the bus stop and rested for a while. A beautiful girl with a parasol opened a bottle of pure water and took a few sips. When she saw the bus coming, she took the remaining water.

The bottom third of the bottle was thrown into the trash can next to the stop sign and got on the bus.

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly, but he stood up too hard and felt a little dizzy.

He shook his head, took three steps at a time, rushed to the trash can, picked up the bottle, and unscrewed the cap.

Then, he saw several passengers waiting for the bus looking at him.

Jiang Wei's face turned red.

He pursed his dry and sore lips, turned around, and walked away until he reached the intersection, turned the corner, and shrank behind a billboard. He raised his head and poured the remaining water into his thirsty throat.

inside.

The sweet pure water poured into his throat, slightly easing his thirst. Jiang Wei poured the last drop of water into his mouth. When there was no more water, he held the pure water bottle, leaned against the billboard, and raised his head.

Jiang Wei told himself not to cry, not to cry.

A man won't shed tears easily.

He took out his cell phone and glanced at the time, hurriedly left the shady billboard and quickened his pace.

After turning another corner, he saw a four-story old building with four words written on it: "Honglie Security."

There is a simple notice posted next to it with the word "Recruitment" written on it.

At the entrance, there were already more than ten people waiting in line, and Jiang Wei quietly got to the end of the line.

The people in the team were all men, and most of them were uncles, uncle-level people. Jiang Wei stood among them, looking a bit outstanding.

An elder sister came over and handed each of them a form. She also brought over three broken ballpoint pens and glared at them: "Take turns, don't take them away!"

It took ten minutes to fill out the form, and the eldest sister took it away, leaving two words: "Wait."

How long? No one asked.

The people here are all people whose time is worthless.

The team moved forward in silence. When they arrived in front of Jiang Wei, the eldest sister said: "We are full."

The people in line behind Jiang Wei complained a few words and walked away muttering.

Jiang Wei stood there for a moment, then slowly turned around.

With a "ding dong" sound, Jiang Wei took out his phone and took a look. On the broken screen, a low battery warning was displayed.

"Can I borrow your place...to charge the battery..." Jiang Wei saw the plug on the wall and asked in a low voice.

The eldest sister glared at Jiang Wei, then looked Jiang Wei up and down, shook her head, and waved her hands helplessly.

Jiang Wei squatted by the wall and plugged in his cell phone.

The power is restored little by little.

With a "beep" sound, the air conditioner was turned up a little.

Then a paper cup filled with water was handed to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei raised his head and saw the mean-faced elder sister looking at him.

"Drink some water."

At that moment, Jiang Wei wanted to cry.

He smiled dryly and took a sip.

"The water dispenser is over there, pick it up yourself." The eldest sister looked at Jiang Wei and said, "You're so young, if you can't do anything good, why do you want to be a security guard?"

Jiang Wei smiled and said nothing.

After burying his mother, Jiang Wei, who was alone, used his last money to buy ten sesame seed cakes and a bus ticket, and then came to Dongcheng to join his comrades.

Jiang Wei, who had not been able to contact his comrades, had been sleeping on the street for two days.

In the past two days, he felt like a transparent person. Everyone was in a hurry and no one glanced at him.

People who have never been downgraded will not understand the despair of being at the bottom.

There are opportunities everywhere in this world. As long as you have a pair of hard-working hands and are willing to endure hardship, you can always survive.

There are takeaway guys and courier guys running around the streets. If they work hard, they can earn tens of thousands a month.

But if you want to deliver food, you must have at least a 1,000 yuan electric vehicle deposit and a 200 yuan clothing fee.

Jiang Wei only had seven and a half yuan left on his body.

The poorer the people, the fewer opportunities they have, until they are completely reduced to the bottom.

This is an unstoppable fall, and people who have not experienced it will never understand it.

Higher costs and greater risks have dragged back many people who were struggling to climb out.

You can rent a small remote bedroom with someone for 1,000 yuan, but those who can't afford 1,000 yuan can only stay in a small hotel for 60 yuan per night.

A person with a monthly income of 3,000 yuan may have a workplace canteen where he can eat for 3 yuan, but a person with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan can only eat a 5 yuan lunch box at noon, which is only half full.

Not to mention illness and accidents.

It takes a long time for many people to find a way to rise again, either with the help of society or the help of noble people.

But before that, there is always a period of sinking, even a long period of time.

I was in unspeakable pain but couldn't cry.

When the battery of the mobile phone reached more than 50%, Jiang Wei stood up and bowed slightly to the eldest sister: "Thank you, eldest sister, I'm leaving."

The eldest sister wanted to say something, but the landline next to her rang.

"Hey, Mr. Chen... Are you asking if there is anyone with better conditions? No, I have all the crooked melons and jujubes here. You said there were three young men last time? One went to deliver food, and the other went to deliver express.

, one of them went home because he didn’t have enough money, and here I am all over 50 years old.”

"Mr. Lie wants someone? Mr. Lie wants someone, and I don't have anyone here! If you don't have one, you don't have one! It's useless for a big client to ask for it!" The eldest sister raised her head and glanced at Jiang Wei who had just walked out of the door. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said:

"Hey, Mr. Chen, wait a minute, I still have one person here, but all the previous ones are full... Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the eldest sister quickly chased out and called Jiang Wei.

"Young man, wait!"

Sitting in front of the eldest sister again, the eldest sister returned to her mean look and babbled to Jiang Wei: "Actually, we don't like to recruit young people. We want more money, less work, and no sense of responsibility. If you say you don't want to do it, you won't do it."

, it’s particularly a mistake.”

Jiang Wei laughed dryly.

"Veterans, right...were injured?"

Jiang Wei rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a hideous scar.

"It won't affect the activities."

"It doesn't affect."

"High school diploma? It's a bit low, forget it... I'll start working today, is that okay?"

"no problem."

The eldest sister clicked a red seal.

"The place you are going to this time is Dongwon University. Dongwon University is our company's most important customer. You must behave well after you go there...come with me to get your uniform."

Two hours later, in the first-floor foyer of the dormitory building of the Physics Department of Dongwon University, tables and chairs were placed outside the window of the dormitory aunt.

A young security guard who looked quite honest was sitting there.
