Life on the stage of the workplace was a blockbuster of my heart's dream. It was a prosperous era, and my name was Yang Zhi. When I was young, I entered a state-owned enterprise with a yearning for a career, and like many people, I longed for a broad career world.
After graduating from university, I was full of confidence and joined a state-owned enterprise. In the first days, I felt like I was at the pinnacle of my career, full of enthusiasm and anticipation for the future. In this soil, I planted the seeds of my dreams, hoping to take root and sprout in this hot soil.
However, life is not always the way it should be. In the 90s, the reform of state-owned enterprises changed, and a storm struck, and our enterprises became victims of reform. The news of bankruptcy was like a bolt from the blue, and at that moment, my career fell into the abyss. Colleagues, in the face of sudden changes, have left, and the workplace has become a bleak ruin.
After terminating my employment contract with the company, I felt that I was in the cold of the workplace, and self-employment became the only option. However, the cruelty of the market did not allow me to be merciful, and I walked all over the streets with pride, and the days of looking for a job became a kind of torment. Every time I go to a job fair, looking at the signboards of one company after another, I can't help but be confused about my life.
Back at home, his wife's eyes were full of understanding and support. She used to be an ordinary clerk, but in order to support me, she took the initiative to adjust her work and became the pillar of our family. When I was confused, she was always silently behind me, cheering me on and giving me strength.
When I got back to work, I went to a private company. My boss is a middle-aged man who has experienced ups and downs, and he values my connections and abilities, which has allowed me to regain my vitality in the workplace. Here, I have regained my footing, and the hardships and gains in the workplace have made me more mature.
The years have passed, and the ups and downs of the workplace have left behind the vicissitudes of life, and I finally ushered in the years of retirement. However, when the gap between my wife's pension and I was as much as two times, I fell into deep thought. 3,670 yuan, which became the entire pension of my later life, while my wife had 7,500 yuan.
This number caused ripples in my heart. Perhaps, it was my pride that made me lose to the years, or perhaps, it was the price of my perseverance in the wind and rain. However, this number cannot hide my gratitude to my wife.
This gap is a footnote to the ups and downs of my workplace, and it is the hardships and laughter I have had along the way. Behind this number are the days that my wife and I have experienced together, the ups and downs we have spent together. Perhaps, it is not a hurdle that cannot be overcome, but the last lesson that life has given us, so that we can understand that happiness does not lie in how much we have, but in knowing how to be satisfied.
This is an ordinary and touching story, a story that belongs to me and my wife. In the long river of years, we have walked through ups and downs hand in hand, leaving behind firmness and tolerance. Perhaps, no matter how large the pension is, it can't cover the happiness along the way. This number, in our hearts, has become a crystallization of emotions after all.
