Chapter 53 The joy of ants

There are many careers in the world that you may never have thought of. For example, in the days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when walking on the road, middle-aged men and women who looked like passers-by would suddenly greet them and say, "Receive cake tickets, do you have any? Receive cake tickets", the unity of their voices and calm expressions is simply amazing. Like a walking repeater.I think when they were young, they probably never thought that their future career would be a "cookie collector". And at the intersection of every bustling street, there are also some simple or clever little guys squatting on the side of the road, with a simple card saying "professional mobile phone film".Sticking the film on the iPad by yourself is really not as good as theirs.When they chose a career, they probably didn't seriously consider embarking on the career path of competing for "the top brother in the city of professional mobile phone film".

The elders always like to cultivate the lofty concept of career choice in the children's minds, such as being a scientist, engineer, teacher, doctor, or policeman when they grow up. It seems that only this kind of career has a future.When I was young, everyone had to write the essay "My Ideal". What I wrote was that I hope that when I grow up, I will be an excellent war correspondent.But, in fact, the job I really admire in my heart is the beautiful proprietress of the vegetable and fruit stalls in the market. Every day, all kinds of fruits and vegetables from all over the world are neatly arranged, and they must be bright and fresh, even when there are no customers. , Sitting in it also has a feeling of abundance.

Maybe people talk about what kind of person they want to be, but they actually have other plans in their hearts; or maybe some people hope to enter a strong and mainstream industry, but in fact they can only do the work of ants in the world.But it is also a real skill to be able to do the work of ants with emotion. It always brings tears to my eyes when I see other people neatly doing some trivial work, such as the taxi driver who washes the car on the side of the road in the middle of the night, or the roadside stall owner who cooks noodles devoutly.Meals, dedicated, sincere small shops always score particularly high in my mind.There are a lot of delicious snack bars, they have no ambitions, they just open silently. The bosses regard it as their loyal profession, and they rarely have ambitions for financing and expansion.

Compared with those modern restaurants that are fashionable, bright and full of gimmicks, I still deeply love all kinds of old-fashioned small restaurants.It’s not that every restaurant has to sell luxurious dishes, but it’s only good if you have to go on the guide and be stepped down by tourists from all over the world. There are more secrets of urban ants’ diet, which are in your and my hearts.Even if it's an ant, it's not bad to be an excellent ant. Anyway, if you do your job well, good things will come to you, won't you? It’s really a chicken soup for the soul. In fact, what I want to say is that when I return to the field, I will open the most foreign-style and most beautiful vegetable and fruit stall, and satisfy my storage addiction and the desire to match utensils every day.
