In July 1998, at the age of 25, I went back to my hometown after working in Guangdong for six years, after all, I hadn't been home for four years, and I began to miss my parents a little. And your parents always say in letters, saying that you are a girl's family, and you are still floating outside alone when you are so old, and your sisters and children of the same age can make soy sauce.
I came to Guangdong after graduating from high school in the second half of 92, and I was one of the first batch of migrant girls to go south. Although I only went to high school, I had a good mind, and I was a general worker in the assembly line at the beginning, and I saw the prospect that I would definitely not be able to get ahead without technology, so I immediately participated in many training courses.
During those years, I learned a variety of techniques, such as ready-to-wear design, computer operation, and even the occasional mold design for groups of boys.
In this way, I have been working in Guangdong for several years, and I really can't send much money to my family, but in the eyes of others, I can be regarded as a person who has learned a lot of skills. By the middle of 96, I finally entered a foreign company in Bao'an, Shenzhen, and joined the company with good basic computer skills, and became the company's quality control manager.
At this time, in the eyes of my fellow countrymen and colleagues, I was already a white-collar worker with a very high status, and most people didn't dare to get too close to me. In this way, although I am a little "enlightened" about feelings at this time, I really don't have many opportunities.
In July, the company just completed a major event, and my department was praised by the general manager, so I was given a long vacation, and I only had time to go back to my hometown.
My hometown is in the countryside of Yiyang, Hunan Province, and I came back after a 4-year absence, and my hometown has indeed changed a lot, but compared with the Shenzhen where I live, it is indeed backward and closed.
But this does not affect my love for my hometown, I chat and talk with my parents at home every day, talking about my experiences over the years, and the affection between my family members flows so slowly.
When I learned that I was back, some relatives and friends naturally took the initiative to come to meet me, including my cousin, who was my aunt's daughter.
When I was a child, I liked to run to my grandmother's house, and Sister Li was my patron saint, she was five years older than me, not only did she let me do everything, even if I got into trouble, she would also take the initiative to take the blame for me.
In this way, she has been the best sister in my eyes since she was a child. Even when she grew up, her place in my heart never faded.
My grandmother's house is in the mountains, which is a relatively remote part of the area. It's also a shame to say, although Sister Li and I have a good relationship, but she has been married for a few years and the children can be gone, but it is the first time I have seen my little nephew.
Sister Li married into our village across the river, and her cousin-in-law is also a craftsman, and it is said that he is a carpenter. In those years, houses were built everywhere in the countryside, and my cousin-in-law's income was also good, and my cousin's life after marriage was quite comfortable.
When I learned that I had come back to this cousin, my cousin came to my house with the child that night, and as soon as she entered the door, she threw the child into my arms, and pulled me around with both hands, saying that it was to see what you had become of this girl.
Although my cousin has become a mother, her temperament doesn't seem to be much mature, and we both say some half-truths and half-truths, which I think are funny, and then continue to smirk at me stupidly.
After playing for a while, my little nephew screamed in my arms to make me hungry, and then I remembered the snacks and toys I bought for him, and quickly got up and took them out and put them in front of him.
The little guy is the age when she has a milk and a mother, and when she sees the snacks and toys, she becomes very affectionate with me, an aunt I have never seen before, and she doesn't even want to go back to her mother's arms.
Sister Li is also a hearty person, and when she saw that I was having a good time with her son, she happily sat down on the side and chatted with me about her experiences over the years.
As I talked, I didn't know how to talk about my relationship problems. My mother added fuel to the fire, saying that in our place, have you seen a few 25-year-old girls who have not yet been married? If it's really a flawed person, forget it, if you don't hurry up like this, it will really be delayed as soon as the age of 30 is over.
My mother's words immediately aroused Sister Li's interest, and when she learned that I had been in Guangdong for several years, I was still single, and I was eager to solve my personal problems immediately, so she immediately stopped my mother and continued, and turned to me and said:
Xiaofen, let me introduce you to a boy, that is, my brother-in-law, who is also 26 years old this year, and is also a secondary school student who graduated a few years ago, and now works in the township government, but he has not found a partner. I see that the two of you are very compatible, are you interested in meeting them?
I don't have much interest in this, after all, I have lived in Shenzhen for so many years, and I prefer to believe in fate, it is almost the new century, and I still need someone to introduce me to a blind date when I am in love and get married?
But Sister Li's words immediately resonated with her mother, and when she learned that there was a "cadre" boy who ate national food, he was also of the same age, so he immediately encouraged Sister Li to help me.
On one side is the little uncle, on the other side is the former good sister, Sister Li did not drag the mud and water, and immediately picked up the child to go home, saying that she was going to talk to the little uncle.
But not long after they entered the house, they let the family leave without even eating? I quickly grabbed her and said that I would have to eat for one night no matter what.
In order to appease her, she even said that she would go back with you tomorrow, not only to send her little nephew, but also to satisfy your desire to be a matchmaker.
In this way, Sister Li was not in such a hurry to leave, but for the next half a day, she kept talking about my brother-in-law in my ear and in my mother's ear.
Sister Li's brother-in-law is called Chen Ming, and after graduating from the normal school, he was assigned to the middle school in the town next door, and because of the good articles he wrote, he was quickly favored by the town secretary and seconded to the government.
originally thought that the future would be better when he went to work in the government, but coincidentally, the next year, the secretary was transferred, and Chen Ming hung there.
I wanted to go back to school and couldn't go back for a while, and I stayed in the government but had nothing to do, so I sat on the cold bench, so I didn't find a girlfriend.
I don't really care about this, isn't it normal to have ups and downs in life? Just like when I first arrived in Guangdong, didn't I eat how many whites of my eyes and sweat? It's not always going to work.
I have always believed that as long as I have real skills, gold will always shine.
Maybe it was Sister Li's undisguised statement, but it made me a little interested in that Chen Ming, and I really followed Sister Li home the next day, nominally to send my little nephew, but in fact, I went on a blind date.
Of course, I didn't see Chen Ming at the first time, and he didn't go home until six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it was obvious that he was a relatively silent person. may have sat on the cold bench for several years, and his edges and corners have been worn out.
Sister Li hurriedly introduced us, Chen Ming greeted me very politely, and then said sorry and entered her house.
Sister Li stuffed the child to me again, and chased the little brother-in-law into the house, I don't know what to say, Chen Ming followed her out.
Chen Ming, who appeared in front of me again, seemed to be unwavering, chatted with me very smoothly, and we also chatted casually about each other's work.
Seeing that we were talking quite on the road, Sister Li's face also smiled, and even said to Chen Ming in front of me: Brother, you have to hurry, my sister is very popular in Shenzhen now, if you are tempted, you have to take some practical action.
In my understanding, if it were another boy, he would either say something crooked about the soup, or he would scratch his head in embarrassment.
But Chen Ming is not, he said to me seriously: I can see that Xiaofen is indeed a good girl, but I am not worthy of your favor like this, we are not suitable, it is better to be ordinary friends.
After finishing speaking, Chen Ming got up to apologize and left. Sister Li wanted to repeat the old trick to get him back, but I stopped her, saying that the twisted melon was not sweet, but she secretly had an idea in her heart: I must let this guy look at some color.
After lunch, I said goodbye and went home, and at this time, Chen Ming also behaved decently and sent me out the door after Sister Li.
In Chen Ming's mind, our meeting might have been a slush claw, but I surprised him the next day.
After dinner the next day, I cleaned up a little, looked at myself in the mirror, asked myself if I was a beautiful woman, and walked directly to the town government.
When I arrived at the gate of the town government, of course I didn't know where Chen Ming was, so I asked someone to inquire. I didn't expect everyone to know him, and he took the initiative to show me the way. It can be seen that Chen Ming and his colleagues get along well in private.
The person who led the way shouted at a door: Chen Ming, there is a beautiful woman looking for you.
Chen Ming took a sip in the room, but he also got up and went out, and at a glance, he saw me standing in front of him, and there was indeed a little light flashing in his eyes.
But while he stretched out his hand to invite me into the house, he said to the colleague who led the way: I am still sorting out the materials, and I don't know when I will finish it.
Although he was saying this, Chen Ming still did not lose his courtesy, politely invited me into the house and sat down, asked me what I was looking for him, and gave me a glass of water.
Seeing him do all this seems to be smooth, although he is silent, it makes me believe even more that the tempering he has been given in the past few years has been great enough.
I didn't squirm, I deliberately mischievously said that I came specifically to you. This time it was Chen Ming's turn to be taken aback, but he was stunned for a moment, and still said to me calmly:
I don't have time for jokes, there's a lot of work to do, and he picked up a stack of papers on the table and raised it at me.
I glanced at the stack of papers in his hand, and I guessed what it should be, and casually asked how you would organize it.
Chen Ming still calmly told me that this was the speech of several leaders last week, and he had just handed it over to him for me to enter into the computer and print it out today.
In 98, in the coastal areas of Guangdong, computers have basically become popular, but in our hometown, especially in the township government departments, computers are still rare. I subconsciously said: Isn't it just a few pieces of paper, and it's worth your trouble?
Chen Ming said to me embarrassedly: I am not good at computers, in addition to knowing how to turn on and off, I can also move the mouse, and I also know how to type, but it is basically a one-finger Zen level, such a thick stack of things, when do you say I can finish it?
When I heard it, I laughed dumbly, isn't it just a few pages of text entry? Such a simple job can make a good-looking boy helpless?
Seeing that Chen Ming really didn't look like a pretend, I asked myself if I could easily deal with this problem, so I said to him: Isn't that just a few pages of text entry? Where is the computer, I'll get it for you in an hour.
Chen Ming looked at me incredulously and said, "Do you think this is the coastal area of Guangdong?" The only computer we have in the town hall is in the reference room, and I have to read it before I can get it.
I heard him say that although he is not very proficient in computers, but this operation idea is very correct, so I praised him, saying that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, what do you think? If you can, take me to the computer, you read it on the side, and I'll enter it for you.
Chen Ming was as stable as a mountain, and he was also shocked by my sudden self-confidence. Hurriedly said yes, and quickly led me to the computer room a thousand times.
Fortunately, it is a decent computer, and it entered the system smoothly after booting it. Seeing that I skillfully operated the computer and smoothly entered the text editing, Chen Ming's face was full of excitement.
But he quickly got into the groove too, biting the paper next to me, and I typed it quickly, barely having to wait much time.
For me, this kind of text entry is really a bit of an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, but for Chen Ming now, it is simply an unattainable height.
It was only about an hour or so, and all the more than a dozen pages of documents were recorded, and I gave him the computer and asked him to check it himself.
After repeated checks, Chen Ming stood up and said very convincingly: There is not a single typo, and it is really an eye-opener today.
I pursed my lips and smiled, and it was indeed quite rewarding to be able to admire a big boy who was depressed and looked wooden.
But the purpose of my coming here has only been achieved, and people have seen it, so they have to show it. So he smiled and asked him, "I helped you, how can you thank me?"
Chen Ming became cheerful at this time, and said with a smile: I really need to thank you, so let's do it, it's noon anyway, I'll treat you to a meal.
Just like that, we came to a small restaurant in the town, ordered a few random dishes and chatted while eating. I asked him intentionally or unintentionally, with your talent, why do you stick to this position with no future, the outside world is so exciting, if you can go out, you will definitely be able to fight for a world.
Chen Ming sighed and said: I also thought about resigning and going to the sea, but I always had some kind of thought in my heart, so I kept dragging it here, and after a long time, I didn't have any ideas.
Not only was I dumbfounded, but when I was about to encourage him to say a few words, Chen Ming took the initiative to ask me about my situation in Shenzhen. I told him in detail about my experience over the years, without adding much water, but it still sounded quite exciting and inspirational.
It can be seen that my words have made Chen Ming feel a lot of yearning in his heart, and he even began to inquire about the situation in the south, occasionally mixed with some envy for my hard work in Guangdong a few years ago.
In this way, during my half-month vacation, except for the first few days, I would meet Chen Ming almost every day, and the more I chatted, the more speculative I felt.
When my vacation was about to end and I was about to go back to work, Chen Ming actually resigned and asked me to take him south.
So, we came to Guangdong together, and under the introduction of my friend, Chen Ming entered a middle school in Bao'an as a teacher, which is really back to the profession.
The following year, Chen Ming and I got married, and we continued to develop in Shenzhen after marriage. Over the past few decades, we have supported each other as husband and wife, and we have our own sky in a metropolis like Shenzhen. #长文创作激励计划#
