" Lu Yu has an appointment with " interviewed the famous singer Xu Wei . Xu Wei half-jokingly said: "There are three major misfortunes in life: successful in youth, unemployed in middle age, and entering the flowers in the old age."

Liu Wei recalled the day when he was unemployed, and the thin raindrops floated in the sky, falling lightly on the ground. He looked up and saw that the sun was still hanging high in the air, emitting a mysterious light. The rare sun rain reminded Liu Wei of the legend of his hometown, and there will be good things when encountering sun rain.
A few seconds later, he shook his head again and secretly smiled at his childishness.
went to the customer in the morning. When I came back, the food in the restaurant downstairs had been sold out. The owner of the food was very enthusiastic and added a few more spoonfuls of vegetables to him, saying that it would be fine. Such a life seems to have become the norm, mixed with Liu Wei's hint of boredom.
When I approached the office, I heard a noise inside. As the door handle rotated, the pause button was immediately pressed. Colleague Xiao Jia's right hand was raised and stayed in the air for 3 seconds, then slowly fell. Liu Wei's appearance was like a basin of cold water, pouring into the fiery red charcoal basin. With a "sniff" sound, the fire was completely extinguished, and even the air was quiet. He squeezed out a smile, and when the water cup touched the table, he sighed "cry" in a cooperative manner.
The boss pushed the door and waved to Liu Wei. After Liu Wei ran over, the boss calculated his performance this year to him, without roaring or quarreling, and said, "Why don't you come to work tomorrow?" Liu Wei nodded and said, "Okay." Then, pretending to be nothing, he returned to the office.

When I became suspicious of Liu Wei's narrative, he smiled bitterly, 's performance goals that could not be achieved, colleagues' exclusion, boss's unreasonable speculation and unpredictable face. The result is the same as whether it is not to make trouble. It is better to turn around and leave yourself with the last bit of decency.
The procedures were completed very quickly. He held the cardboard box and looked back at the company he had been working hard for three years, and no one was giving it away. Perhaps, even the dismissal was the last one I knew about.
, resignation is like breaking up, what else do you expect?
But when we reached the corner, sadness came instantly, the car parked at the intersection, and suddenly I didn’t know how I was going. Holding the steering wheel in both hands, watching the yellow light turn red and the red light turn green, and the driver behind kept honking the horn to urge.
The company is an hour's drive from its residence, but Liu Wei seemed to have been driving for a long time that day, and he was full of thoughts while driving. What should he do tomorrow? No answer.
pushed open the door, and his wife was a little shocked and asked, "Why are you getting off work so early today?" He said "um" and didn't know where to start for a while.

"My wife is a very good person." Liu Wei said that after his wife learned that he was unemployed, she did not complain at all, but comforted him: "Let's take a break first, and then find a company closer to work."
He looked at his wife's slightly raised abdomen, and remembered his son who had just entered kindergarten. Mortgage, car loan, living expenses, and children's education and tutoring fees all require money. Anxiety and irritability are getting worse and worse. After staying at home for half a month, he found out his resume from three years ago and filled in and modified it bit by bit according to the requirements of the recruitment website.
However, the resumes submitted are like stones sinking to the sea. I finally received several interview notices, and after the interview, the other party replied "Waiting for notification". Then, there was no further text.
On the way back from an interview, he parked his car on a quiet road. He never smoked and bought a pack of Furong King. With the tears he choked out of his first breath of cigarette, he turned the music to the maximum sound, roaring and crying. Then throw away the cigarette butt and drive home like a ok person.
Two months later, Liu Wei still couldn't find a job. He has lowered his conditions, and he will not choose the industry for those who are farther away and those who are low in salary. But, there is still nothing suitable.
During dinner, my wife suddenly talked about the news: The urban management called you to set up a stall. She said she wanted to give it a try.In order to prove her determination, she also handed Liu Wei the order to buy small toys online.

The next half month, the couple went out early and returned late every day. , one interviews in a crazy way, and the other sets up a street stall with a big belly.
One night after half a month, my wife went back to her room after dinner. When Liu Wei returned to his room, he heard his wife sobbing softly. He hugged his wife and began to ask, looking forward to what she could say to him, but she just said it was okay.
When his wife sobbed and turned into deep and shallow breathing, Liu Wei walked out of bed and picked up his wife's cell phone. Looking at his wife's conversation with her parents, he felt both distressed and felt cowardly.
If you don’t find a job, you become an idle person and a useless person who stays at home without making a penny.
Looking through her circle of friends, her best friend posted a photo of her wife setting up a stall to her circle of friends, with the caption: My best friend, I am pregnant and my husband is unemployed, and everyone who passes by the stalls will come to help!
Best friend who has always compared with his wife, this kindness makes her feel a little brown no matter how you look at it.
Liu Wei lay down next to his wife, he raised his eyes and stared at the ceiling and listened to the sound of her breathing. He remembered that she married him despite her parents' opposition, and he vowed to promise that she would give her happiness. Then, he kept struggling, buying a house, buying a car, and having a baby, thinking that she had a good life. But at the age of 40, if you lose your job without any concern, you have to let your pregnant wife show up to make money.
Liu Wei opened his eyes and looked out from the gaps in the curtains. On a clear night, the stars were shining. He stared at the stars all night until the darkness finally gave way to dawn.

After a few months, my wife gave birth, but Liu Wei still couldn't find a job. However, at this time, he seemed to be in a hurry. According to his words, "It's useless to be in a hurry."
He took back his wife's stall and opened several stores online. Speaking of this, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "There are very few orders, but it's better to have them than to have them."
Liu Wei seems to have become a "money drill" in the past year. He will try it as long as he can make money. Even some of the fastest versions of software he looked down upon the most in the past, he downloaded a lot of them on his phone. While lying on the sofa watching TV, my hands kept sliding my phone to collect gold coins.
At the beginning of this year, he applied for the group leaders of several vegetable selling platforms. Some customers think that their home is not as convenient as convenience stores, so they take the initiative to undertake home delivery services.
A few days ago, he also applied for Didi Special Car.
In his spare time, he would carry his family of four out to play. Most of his circle of friends looks peaceful, but behind it is unknown efforts.
is also right, middle-aged people who are used to laughing, their hardships and fatigue (tears) are hidden in their hearts.
