My name is Zhang Mingzhi, 22 years old, and I am a cement worker who works hard at the construction site. In this industry, I endure the sun and wind, work hard, and get dirty every day. A lot of people choose to leave because they can't stand the difficulty, but I stick to this position and become the longest person in this position.
My hands were like two heavy hammers, and every contact with the cement seemed to soften my will. Although I often encounter difficulties and challenges in my work, I do not give up. Because I know that only by persevering can I gain a foothold in this industry.
Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight hit my face, I would put on my overalls, put on my hard hat, and go to the construction site. There are my colleagues who, like me, work hard for life. Although our work is dirty and tiring, our efforts contribute to the construction of the city. To me, the construction site is like my second home.
Although the place where I work is far from home, it is full of memories and traces of my growth. Every time I see a tall building I've worked on, I feel very proud and satisfied. Although the job was hard, I never regretted it. Because I know that it is only through my own efforts that I can achieve my dreams. I hope to achieve success in this industry in the future and become a good architect. Let those who ridicule and question me see my worth.
People often advised me that I was handsome and tall, and that I could choose to learn a trade and not have to do such hard manual labor. However, I told them that family conditions were limited. As the eldest son in the family, it is my responsibility to work as soon as possible and share the burden of the family. Although I am handsome, I lack experience and education. At the moment, I can only do this kind of work, barely making a living.
In fact, no matter what industry you're in, you'll get used to it over a long period of time. Once you Xi get used to it, you won't find it that hard. You will work slowly and step by step every day. At the moment, my state is like this. I worked, rested, and ate on time, and lived a plain and down-to-earth life. It's hard, but I'm very happy with a steady income every month.
My goal is simple. When I was younger, I earned more money to send home to support my two younger sisters in homeschooling Xi. After all, I know there are no cultural difficulties, so I don't want them to repeat my mistakes. The days passed, and there were no waves. I thought my life would be so uneventful. However, fate made me meet a woman every day and completely changed my life.
That day, I was in the middle class, had just left the dorm room, and I saw a few roommates discussing something, happily discussing what new things they wanted to find. I quickly went over and asked, do I think this is to raise my salary?My roommate, Nobita, quietly got together and whispered to me that it was not Sister Zhao who delivered food today, but a new noodle named Xiaojing. Their excitement about her piqued my curiosity.
When I saw Xiao Jing, I noticed that she was really different. Dressed neatly, fair-skinned, and looking like a college student. How can we be chefs in this industry?Although she doesn't live up to the exaggeration of her roommates, she is really beautiful, mainly because she has a good temperament and gives people a fresh and elegant feeling. She is not at all a person who does labor-intensive work.
I was a little nervous when I actually met her for the first time that day. She told me the food was missing. I was about to leave, but she left me and said I could make me a bowl of vegetables and egg noodles. I fed her a nice attitude and felt flattered. This mood continues into the future. I always approached her, consciously or unconsciously, but because of my clumsy words, I couldn't find the opportunity to communicate with her every time. Until one day, Xiao Jing encountered danger, which also gave me a chance.
That night, I was about to go to the boiling water room when I suddenly heard a noise in the kitchen. I suddenly remembered Xiao Jing, put down the thermos, and quickly rushed to the kitchen. Sure enough, a worker was not inferior to Xiao Jing, because he lost his temper after drinking. Jing remained moral at first, but as the situation escalated, the workers became more and more excessive, insisting that Jing pour him drinks.
I quickly pulled in my worker's friend and warned, "Don't bully her, or I won't be polite!"."Because I was tall, taller than the man, the momentum seemed to scare him. He quickly withdrew from the skeleton, perhaps muttering away. After confirming that he had been gone for a long time, I quickly walked up to Xiao Jing and said to her gently, "Xiao Jing, don't be afraid, I will be here to protect you!".Maybe Xiao Jing was scared, and she couldn't help but cry in the corners of her eyes, and then she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, thank you really ......."”
I comforted her again. When she calmed down, we sat down and chatted. Xiao Jing told me that her hometown is in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Her uncle was coming home last year to work here. Because she did so well, she was introduced to our construction site by an uncle's friend.
In fact, she told me, her goal is to work here for a while, save enough for tuition, and then leave here to study Xi in Nanjing. I looked at her in shock and asked if she had been accepted into the university. She smiled and shook her head, saying she didn't. She is 28 years old this year and has applied for the best self-taught undergraduate program in the society.
She told me that she longed to learn Xi, progress and a mediocre life. Although she is not young, she still wants to change her destiny through Xi. She had the opportunity to go to college, but her family conditions were not good and she lost the opportunity. Her family forced her to marry early, but she chose to leave the mountain village and leave with her uncle. She wants to change her destiny with her own efforts.
After listening to Xiaojing's story, I was full of respect for her. Although he is weak on the outside, he has lofty ideals on the inside. She is indomitable and does not want to be mediocre. Looking at her, I suddenly felt very small, and life was like a fog. Xiao Jing's persistence allowed me to find the motivation to move forward. If she's trying so hard, why should I sin as a big man?
Therefore, Xiao Jing and I quickly reached a consensus. From now on, we should work together to earn money and achieve our goals in life. It's a good life to fight side by side, and it's full of fighting spirit every day. I feel like my strawberries are very powerful. Except for work, I spend almost all of my time with Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing is very knowledgeable and has taught me a lot. She made me learn Xi and improve gradually.
I wasn't interested in the boring knowledge of the book before, but now, Xiao Jing told me, I think it's interesting. It's really good to learn something new every day Xi Gradually, I felt that I was also a very knowledgeable person, at least much better than before. I don't even like to be around workers who only drink and play cards and are not motivated. I don't think they have any similarities every day, just a mediocre life.
Half a year later, we are now close friends, even closer than friends. Through this period of reflection, I found that I was deeply in love with Xiao Jing. I can't imagine what kind of life I would have lived without Xiaojing. In the bright future I envisioned, there is a little silence on every page. I want to share my future happiness with her. However, sadly, one day Xiao Jing suddenly told me that she was leaving here. She has a job as a county teacher and plans to rent a room there.
I asked her, aren't you going to take the self-study exam?Why are you a teacher again?Xiao Jing was very upset and didn't answer me clearly. I felt very anxious and kept asking her. I told her that if I didn't tell me the truth, I wouldn't be Xi or Xi in the future.
Xiao Jing was very anxious when she heard me say this, and quickly told me that, in fact, she didn't tell me that I was in trouble. It turns out that Xiao Jing is a college student, and she only works before she owes tuition. The reason she procrastinated on me was to encourage me and make me progress together.
I feel so grateful to finally understand her pain. As it turns out, she has been silently forgiving me so much. Our relationship is different. Later, Xiao Jing left. I vowed to live up to her expectations of me, and I would work hard to Xi and get accepted into college. The day I get admitted, I'll go to her.
Although the road ahead is winding like a jungle, I know that as long as I have a strong belief and am not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, I will eventually pass through the darkness and usher in the dawn. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will also embrace faith, face the hardships of life, persevere, and keep moving forward. Because only in this way can you meet a better version of yourself and get a better life.
