Some time ago, the years have not seen the girlfriends leaf from Gansu back.
These years, know her not easy, but hopefully she came back this time will no longer go outside to run around.
The original we work in a large shopping mall, she divided in the stationery cabinet, and I was divided in the Department of home appliances. Because the two counters are adjacent to each other, usually not busy when each other have more interactions.
I know she has a very picky mother-in-law who demands perfection in everything, and a very handsome husband.
When you marry into such a family, you can imagine that you have to be tolerant and forgiving of everything, or else you can't move forward.
After the marriage, because of the addition of children, the family life is quite tight, the two decided to go out and do some small business.
After a few visits, I found a dry cleaner not far from home. The two sisters borrowed some money to put it down, and then began to embark on the arduous road of entrepreneurship.
The dry cleaner just opened, all by acquaintances over to take care of business, wash a piece of clothing is also more than ten dollars.
In winter, a tweed coat soaked with dozens of pounds, the test is the physical strength of people. It's hard to imagine how much energy her skinny exterior holds.
Some of the stains that can't be washed away have to be treated with chemicals, and her knuckles are deformed by prolonged exposure to it.
Since it is not a franchised dry cleaner, the brand is not protected. The brand is not protected. After two years of hard work, the company was finally unable to support the transfer.
The couple was greeted with a bigger problem ahead; their daughter was facing the city's major high school, and their mother-in-law was suffering from severe diabetes. The two of them decided to go to the supermarket to work, and the man took the family's only savings to open a snack bar in the downtown area.
Anyone who has ever opened a restaurant knows that it is inevitable that they will have to face it every day. Sometimes you can't get a waiter, cashier, dishwasher, have to do it yourself.
Leaves in the supermarket after work have to rush over to help. Otherwise, quasi-hubby scolded by her husband and mother-in-law.

There is no industry in the world that is zero risk and high yield, and there is no profession that can be easily obtained without sweat and blood.
The most taboo of doing small business is the high eye, and all kinds of unrealistic unwillingness, and her husband happens to have these.
Later, due to poor management, the restaurant opened less than a year before closing, tens of thousands of dollars also hit the water.
"People have been calling me handsome for years."
This is the sentence that her husband spoke the most when joking with us. Until now, we thought that good-looking men are narcissistic.
Later, listening to others say that the paint business is very profitable, her husband insisted on going to Gansu development. Ye is not assured, worried that he is outside the whole thing what moths, simply also put the supermarket job to quit, the two far away from his hometown.
This goodbye is ten years, this time to see her again, my first reaction is "how she thin into this way?
If not for the fact that she called out my name earlier, I almost didn't recognize her. The leaf is very thin, where it stands like a sparrow, as if in her front chest to clap some water can be reflected on the back.
What has she been through all these years?
With the question a grabbed her hand, and then is crazy chat.
The first time I saw her was when I was a little girl, and she was a little girl, and she was a little girl.
Through the chat, I know what she has been going through outside these years.
I just went to Gansu, and I was not familiar with the place. In that kind of economic underdeveloped, low income and consumption level of the city entrepreneurship, really have to have the courage to die with themselves to the end.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning", from the loss of the first few years, to the subsequent slow profit. From door-to-door carrying cardboard boxes door-to-door sales, to later set up their own company, which the bitterness and hardship from her face can be seen.
Behind every city of lights, there are countless figures of those who carry the dream and responsibility of working hard.

In order to make a better life for their families, many people are under great pressure, carrying heavy loads and laboring.
Many people on Knowledge asked:
How hard is it to fight to start a business? How much courage does it take to want to jump a class in society?
Had seen a very highly praised answer:
Entrepreneurship is a thing of nine deaths, so for every entrepreneur, think of a good way out of failure, far more practical than think of a garland of success.
Think of an inspirational movie I saw a long time ago, "When Happiness Comes Knocking", the movie tells the story of Chris Gardner, a famous American stockbroker.
The movie is about a famous American stockbroker, Chris Gardner.
Chris and his wife, after failing to start their own business, are selling medical equipment to make ends meet.
Chris and his wife were on the road early in the morning and late at night. The money they earn is still not enough to pay the rent, not enough to keep up with basic daily expenses. After a heated argument, his wife, who has no future in sight, abandons him, leaving him alone with his son.
There are a few scenes in the film that touched me: when the father and son were huddled together in a public toilet in a subway station, the cleaner kept knocking on the door outside the toilet, and Chris was afraid of waking up his sleeping son, so he silently put his hand over his son's ears, who was already asleep.
After six months of unpaid internships, he was the only one of the elite 20 to remain.
When the examiner said to him,
"Everything doesn't seem so easy, does it?" His eyes moistened and he said, "Oh, no."
At the end of the movie, he fights back tears as he walks through the bustling crowd, holding his hands high in the air, one after the other, cheering himself on with applause.
"When you think it's most difficult, it's actually when you're closest to success." To this day, I still remember this classic line from Chris, the main character in the movie.
Through the claustrophobic years, holding on to the crumbling bottom line. He trekked for his ideal, and finally broke the cocoon into a butterfly to usher in "happiness knocking at the door."
