My name is Xiaoxue, I am 21 years old this year, and I have been in Shenzhen for three years.
The year I graduated from high school, my father passed away, and my younger siblings were still very young, so I bought a ticket by myself, carried 200 yuan, and went south to Shenzhen.
Sitting on the train I was scared and didn't know what kind of life I could live.
Luckily, on the train, I met my uncle next to me. He spoke to me a few words and learned that I was going to Shenzhen to look for a job, and said that he knew that there was an electronics factory that was recruiting.
He gave me a business card. I got out of the car and took my business card to the suburbs to find this factory. In this way, I was lucky enough to find a job, and I lived directly in the dormitory of the factory instead of being on the street.
I wanted to thank him, but the separation was too hasty, and I didn't leave **.
After working in the factory for two years, I was very thin, but slowly began to grow, and my co-workers praised me for being tall, plump, and able to pinch out water.
A thug started beating me up, and that day I stopped me at the factory gate after work and almost pulled me onto my motorcycle.
I was scared, so I quit my job at the factory and got a clerical job in the city. My income is much lower than in the suburbs, but the people I come into contact with are still quite nice.
I signed up for an accounting class and wanted to get an accounting certificate. So that the rest of the money is pitiful.
I searched for a few places to rent and finally found a small north-facing single room with no windows, which was cheaper than the market price, only a few hundred yuan.
When I contacted the landlord, he took me to see the house and found out that he was the uncle who was sitting next to me on the train at the time. My uncle didn't recognize me anymore, but I recognized him at first sight.
I was very excited to express my gratitude and say that I wanted to rent this house. When he remembered that it was me, he immediately changed his face and his expression was very embarrassed, and he didn't want to rent it to me.
I begged for a long time, saying that I had less money. Uncle reluctantly agreed.
We signed a one-year contract and got to know each other, the landlord's uncle is called Li Quan, 48 years old this year, who came to Shenzhen from other places to work hard for many years.
His wife and children died in a car accident a few years ago. Now it is mainly rent-collecting for a living.
He also rented a few houses upstairs, and his uncle always said that the house had no windows and was not a good place to live. You can wait for him to have another house in his hand and rent it to me cheaply.
I said I'll rent it when I have money in the future, and let me have a place to stay now.
Uncle didn't say anything, but when I moved in, I found that I often felt like someone was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
I was too scared to speak, and I didn't dare to open the door. I suddenly knew that there was a reason why my uncle didn't want to rent it to me.
A few days later, something even more outrageous happened, that day I worked overtime until 12 o'clock and came home to find a drunk man squatting in front of my house.
I was so scared that I didn't dare go home until the drunk was gone.
I immediately called the landlord, and he said that he was out of town and waited for him to come back to deal with it.
For the next few days, I felt like someone was always following me. Until that night, I worked overtime at home to sort out the materials until more than 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.
I just fell asleep in the middle of the night when I felt someone pressing on me and my mouth was covered. I couldn't move, I was scared and desperate.
Suddenly I heard the door open, and I felt someone break in and drag the person who was pressing on me away.
I hurriedly turned on the light and saw my uncle grabbing a lewd drunk. I shuddered and took out my phone to call the police.
Later, the police took the drunk away. Only then did I know that the last tenant was a girl who had come out to sell.
At first, it was said that it was a student who was admitted to graduate school, but the neighbors complained that there was too much movement every day.
The uncle installed a camera at the door, and when there was evidence, he called the police and arrested them all.
Originally, he didn't plan to rent the house to me, for fear that people who had been here before would mistakenly think that I was too.
But I couldn't resist my plea, his elder had recently passed away, so he had been busy and planned to change my house when he was done.
But he still didn't worry about me, and today I turned on the camera and found a drunk man walking around my door several times.
He immediately came back from his hometown, and happened to meet this man who pried open my door in the middle of the night, and he stopped the bad guys.
After listening to this, I hugged my uncle and cried, but fortunately he came back in time.
I've been out there alone for several years, I've suffered a lot of grievances, and no one has ever cared about me like him.
He said to change the house for me immediately so that I don't cry.
I then said directly: Uncle, I like you, I want to be with you.
Li Quan was embarrassed, and he rejected me.
My heart was broken. I cried a lot.
Next, he grinned and said: I liked you for a long time, but I feel too old to deserve you.
This kind of thing has to be done by a man, and now I'm going to say, I love you, please be my girlfriend, okay?
His words made me laugh and cry, and I finally met someone who reassured me.
I finally feel that life is not alone because I have a lover.
