"It's September 9th again, with more worries and feelings. Homesick people are wandering outside, walking around until September 9th. There is no good wine in other places, and there is no September 9th".
This is an old song that wanderers who are away from home miss their hometown. How many people's sadness and thoughts have been sung. This song was very popular in the early 199s. At that time, there were several popular songs in the video stores in the streets every day.
I really miss the songs of that era. Every song is so intimate and deeply memorable. Listening to this nostalgic old song, my thoughts have also returned to that era.
after all, I failed my parents who wanted me to pass the college entrance examination. Failed to live up to their expectations. Even after repeated reading for several years, I still let myself and my family down.
fortunately, after I passed the age of no doubt, I still have the courage to get a college diploma with my persistent efforts. Although my work has not brought any added value. But it still makes up for my regret.
At that time, after I entered the society, I worked in a mask factory with a group of girls of similar age. Make disposable export masks.
My workshop is a paper folding workshop. The process is to fold the paper, fold it into a disposable mask and then give it to the lathe operator. They put rubber bands on both ends and sewed them to make the finished mask.
The working environment is still very good. More than twenty people are folding paper in a big office with six long tables. At that time, our pastime was to listen to pop songs played by colleagues on the radio while folding paper. At that time, there was a weekly pop song list on the radio.
A group of young and energetic girls are busy listening to the pop songs played on the radio, and their mouths are humming along with the rhythm involuntarily.
At this time, I forgot the loss and boredom, forgot everything around me, and immersed myself in the daily songs of the radio station.
folding paper is purely manual work, and some people fold it quickly and well. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I finished my day's task easily. I'm always much slower than those super-fast, and there will be many stacked defective products as soon as I check them. At that time, it was calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. For those who folded quickly, the workshop director would give them more paper every day. I'm quick at other things, but it's always pointless to fold such paper. It's really my death. Make yourself like a war can't keep up with their rhythm. They finished the task before me.
at least I didn't do it there for a year, and then I went to the mall to do sales.
Maybe I was born to sell this piece. I think selling is very suitable for me. No matter who I partner with, I was still very young at that time, and my monthly sales would be higher than my partner. It was my happiest and most fulfilling time.
after accumulating a little sales experience, I didn't know the little land, so I opened a shop to run women's clothing business alone.
due to the lack of sufficient funds, the rented facade area is naturally not a very busy place. At the beginning, business can only be called eke out a living. When business was bad, I tried to expand my sales. At that time, I rented another night market booth. In the afternoon, after closing the store, I took some clothes to the night market stall to sell them.
although the night market didn't start until after 5: 3 in the afternoon, that is, it lasted for several hours, but there was a lot of people, and at that time, many people liked to buy clothes at the night market, so the business was very good.
At that time, there was a video store in front of the street, which was very lively every night, and those popular songs were played one by one in a loop. For example, My Heart is Too Soft, Nine Sisters, The Story of Spring, Whose Tears Are Flying ... Even if you are tone-deaf, you will skillfully hum it with your eyes closed under this eternal cycle.
now that I think about it, I was really ignorant and fearless, and I really admired my courage. Now, I really dare not rashly open a shop to do business.
in retrospect, it was really a valuable experience for me.
Although I got married later, I also worked in clothing wholesale and retail business for a while. But by then I had something to lean on. It's shared with my husband. I'm a born hothead, knowing that business has off-season and peak season, and it's also affected by the weather, but if business is bad for several days or I don't open for a day, my heart will be anxious, and I can't sleep because I can't eat well. After all, I am a person who is not suitable for my own business.
after all, I am a person who goes to work every day, gets a salary that I can't afford to die of hunger every month, and reads some broken words in my spare time.
I've lived like this for most of my life. How time flies! It's so fast that only a few loose memories are left.
