Chapter 339 Spring 2023 (4)
Give up BJ's annual salary of 40, and settle in SJZ on the 40th day

This is the fourth article for 2023.

On February 2023, 2, a person packed all his bags in BJ and drove to SJZ.I moved into the house I bought in Zhengding New District two years ago, and started everything new.

Now, 40 days have passed.

In the past 40 days, I have experienced the initial excitement and excitement brought by the joy of housewarming, the short-term hardship of finding a job, and the slowing down and adaptation of the pace from the first-tier big cities to the second-tier cities. Transition to new transformation.

Today, 40 days later, everything has settled, and the days have returned to their original innocence.Now, sitting alone at the desk in the living room of the house and writing, I want to talk about my insights in the past 40 days from several aspects.

[-]. Why did I leave BJ and come to SJZ?

I wrote some articles before I left BJ to come to SJZ, and I also posted a lot of videos of myself decorating the room on Douyin. Many netizens left messages, some encouraged, some supported, some criticized and denied, and some even said bluntly: I was in BJ I couldn't get along anymore, so I chose to escape.

At first, I was a little concerned about the belittling comments of those who didn’t know, but now I gradually feel relieved that the world is like this, and you don’t need anyone to understand you, let alone those who have never met.You don't even need to care about their gossip. Although the words are about you, the person who is talking has nothing to do with you. You don't need to let those Internet trolls and cynics affect your mood.People always care about the words of people who have nothing to do with them, but ignore the entrustment of the closest people around them. If it is reversed, the world will be peaceful.

Why should I leave BJ and settle in SJZ?Is it true that you can't get along in BJ?No, if you stay in BJ and rely on your previous work experience to find another job with an annual salary of 40, it will not be a big problem.But I don't want to continue to drift in BJ, because there is no hope.No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try, it seems that you can’t afford a house. The average price of houses outside the North Fifth Ring Road of BJ is more than 1 yuan. Mortgages can put you under a lot of stress.

I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, and I don't want to put too much pressure on my future family. Now, the total price of my house in SJZ is only 140 million, and I have already paid off the mortgage, so I came to SJZ to live in my own The house no longer has to bear the word "housing slave".

Even if you bought a house in BJ with all your family's strength, you can live a tight life and can bear more than 1 monthly mortgages, but what about the account?Can you settle your account? BJ mainly relies on the points system to solve the household registration. The higher your education, the more points you can enjoy, and your housing, work, social security provident fund, etc., all determine the value of your points.My education is average, compared with those 211, 985 and masters and doctors who are full of streets, it is not worth mentioning.Therefore, I think it is a fantasy to settle down by points.

Many people have spent half their lives in BJ, even a lifetime, married and had children in BJ, and dedicated all their youth to BJ, but what happened in the end?The hukou is still not settled, and my children still have to go back to the hometown where their hukou is registered to go to school when they reach the age of school, especially when they take the high school entrance examination. I have been in BJ for eight years and have seen many such real examples.There are also many parents who work in BJ, but their children go to school with their grandparents in their hometown. I don’t want my future children to be like this. I want to give them a complete family education and give them the company that their parents deserve.

So I know that even if I work hard in BJ for the rest of my life, it will be difficult to settle the household registration. There are too many risks in the future schooling and household registration of my children, so I choose to leave BJ early and settle down in SJZ. At least I can guarantee my future. The child is a native of SJZ urban area, and can enjoy the education in SJZ urban area, as well as a complete family and the company of parents.

I was born in a small village in Haixing County, Cangzhou, Hebei. I went to elementary school in the countryside, junior high school in the town middle school, and high school in the county middle school.Most of the classmates and friends around me are also rural people, and they also have rural thoughts and genes in their bones.Relying on my own study, I went out of the countryside and went to a first-tier big city like BJ, and because of my eight years of hard work, I was able to buy a house, settle down, and settle down in a second-tier city like SJZ.I think this is already a big change and breakthrough for me. It is actually the hard work of three generations that has brought about what I enjoy today, because my grandfather was an out-and-out farmer who was born in a poor and turbulent At the end of the Republic of China, eight days after he was born, his biological mother passed away. He grew up on the breast milk of his aunt who happened to be breastfeeding, and was adopted by an uncle in the same family. It was not easy for his grandfather to survive the birth.

Grandpa grew up in a poor family and didn’t even finish elementary school. Later, under the control of his stepfather and stepmother, he got married and had a son, and had my father. But at that time, the family was too poor. As the eldest son in the family, he had to give up the idea of ​​repeating his studies and start working early to earn money.At that time, every family was poor. Marriage was not as it is now. The woman required a house, a car, and an expensive bride price. Therefore, the father who was poor and white even had foreign debts, and married his mother.

Relying on the hard-working, thrifty nature of my parents, after giving birth to me, I gradually paid off my foreign debts and moved out of the four earthen houses I shared with my parents, uncle, and sister-in-law, and life gradually improved. In the early 90s, with the rapid development of the whole country and society, the living standards of farmers gradually improved. Parents farmed the land and did small businesses, and life began to improve.Compared with my grandfather, my father has the ability and consciously wants me to study and fulfill his long-cherished wish of college, so I finished college after graduating from high school.

After graduating from college, I had the opportunity to find a job in BJ, and I had the opportunity to see the world outside the mountains and meet all kinds of people in this world. Only then did my thoughts and cognition have the opportunity to change.

Everyone has different family backgrounds, different growth experiences, different personal abilities and insights, different pursuits, even more different definitions of happiness in life, and different desires and ideas.For me, being able to get out of the countryside and settle down in a second-tier provincial capital city, with my own house, a stable job and income, is already very good, and it is already a great change in my personal and family destiny.

I have seen the prosperity of metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and I have also embraced the material and spiritual gifts and baptisms brought to me by first-tier cities, but I know that those are tall, rich, handsome or white, rich and beautiful, and you can only have them for a short time, but it But it doesn't belong to you. You don't need to spend your whole life pursuing those unattainable things.

A few days ago, I chatted with a friend who is still in BJ Beipiao. The friend’s experience is very similar to mine. He is also from a rural area and has been in BJ for several years.But she wanted to settle down and take root in BJ.From time to time, I complained to me about the high pressure in BJ, the fast pace of work, the serious overtime every day, and felt very painful, but she was very pessimistic about my leaving BJ and choosing to settle in SJZ, and predicted that I would come back in two years. BJ.

I didn't comfort her where she is now, nor did I contradict her judgment that I would be back in BJ's in two years.The way is different, she can't understand the comfort and satisfaction of my current life, and I don't know whether her dream of settling in BJ is a dream or it can be realized with hard work.Because I never thought about settling down in BJ, let alone returning to that small third-tier city of Cangzhou.Some things, you just have to jump to have them.I am so tall, I can easily settle in Cangzhou without jumping, but I really feel a little wronged to spend the rest of my life in a third-tier city, so I jumped up and finally settled in SJZ, the provincial capital of HEB, because I know that even if it is I broke my kneecap and couldn't touch BJ.

Stay in BJ for a few years, as long as you have some ability and good luck, choose the right path for you, and find a good job, you can really make some money.But the premise is that you must learn to be frugal and save money. BJ earns a lot, but there are also many places and opportunities to squander, as well as comparisons and temptations. I have also seen some in BJ whose monthly salary is tens of thousands, but in the end it is just a bamboo basket. A person who is empty of water.After you have a certain material foundation, you will have more choices in the future.But whether BJ is suitable for you to settle down and settle down, and whether you can settle down and settle down there, depends on your ability, your definition of happiness, and your pursuit and ideal.

I live a more realistic life, and the reality tells me that leaving BJ and choosing SJZ is more in line with my reality. BJ has the best education, medical care and other life resources in the country, but you have to think clearly whether those are prepared for you. Before the age of 30, you can endure humiliation and live without a fixed place to make money.But after the age of 30, you have to think about what you are working so hard to make money for?There is a very good story. A rich man pointed to the sea in front of him and said to an old fisherman: My dream is to make money desperately now, and then buy this sea area. On the fishing boat, enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the sun.The old fisherman said: I am just lying on the fishing boat, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun.

[-]. What work am I doing now?
By coincidence, I interviewed for the position of pre-sales manager BJ of the Telecom Publicity Research Institute at the end of 2022, and passed the initial and re-examination. At first, the annual salary was 40W. Later, due to the salary adjustment of the company, the highest salary in each region could only be given to 25W. In BJ, the annual salary of 25W is really not enough for an old pre-salesman who has seven or eight years of work experience. many.I have already reached this level in 2019, so I definitely cannot accept this salary cut decision.

At that time, the decision had already been made. If BJ did not find a satisfactory job, he would return to SJZ to settle down after that year, and willingly accept a salary cut.So later I asked the headhunter who was responsible for the matchmaking, and asked if SJZ of the Cultural and Propaganda Research Institute had a job. As a result, SJZ really created a job for nothing, and only recruited one pre-sales job.Based on the good impression of me by the previous two interviewers, I joined the Publicity Research Institute as a matter of course, and was responsible for the pre-sales work in the HB area. The base is in SJZ.

It has been a month since I started working on February 2th.During this month, I gained a lot of new cognition and learning about tourism informatization, global tourism, smart scenic spots, smart hotels, and smart museums, smart libraries, smart cultural centers and other cultural and tourism-related industries and forms.I have a strong learning ability, can quickly accept new things and solutions in different fields, and am good at the output of PPT and Word version information solutions.What's more, when I worked for Jinshan Cheetah, I worked on several tens of millions of smart cities and smart tourism projects in Jiangxi JDZ, so I have a certain amount of precipitation and understanding of the cultural tourism industry.During this month, I have now mastered the company's business products and solutions, and have been approved by the account manager of the branch.

There is no such thing as a wasted journey in life, every step counts.Thinking back to 2020, when I was on a business trip in JDZ, I spent a lot of time and energy in this city famous for porcelain and tourism, often working overtime and holding meetings until two or three in the morning.The company has no plans or products, so I search for them on the Internet, in my workplace circle, and create plans based on the company's production and research capabilities and customer needs.After leaving Jinshan Cheetah, I wandered briefly in the smart education industry, my old business, and then returned to the smart cultural tourism industry.

During this month, at the Telecom Publicity Research Institute, I learned standard and mature informatization solutions for various scenarios in the cultural travel industry, and learned about a large number of companies’ implementation cases. For those projects I did in JDZ before , With new thinking and cognition of the saved plans, the output ability and quality of my own plans have been greatly improved.It was as if I had read "The Analects of Confucius" several times behind closed doors, and suddenly met Confucius, who explained this great work to me earnestly, and I was suddenly enlightened and enlightened.

Compared with the industry of smart education, smart cultural tourism, at least for me at this time, is more novel and more eager to learn and understand. I have more room for growth in this industry, more motivation to work, and the industry The prospects are very broad.Compared with the company I worked for before, today’s state-owned enterprises are relatively more stable, and the benefits are even better, so I am full of fighting spirit for my current job, what I do every day, the plans I write, and the projects I follow up.Because the definition of happiness in the workplace in life is that you must first affirm your work, think that your work is valuable and meaningful, and maintain a high degree of love.

Compared with the busy work in BJ, severe overtime, long commutes, frequent business trips, work pressure, daily expenses, etc., working in SJZ reduces everything by at least half.Of course, the salary has also been cut in half, but it is enough to meet my current daily expenses and I am well-off. Tell me, can I not feel happy in my current life and work?

[-]. When will I get married?
Since I came to SJZ, I have a stable job and a house of my own, so I no longer wander and feel insecure.With the material foundation and living security, I also re-planned my future life. Coupled with my mother's urging, I also began to think and plan for my marriage and future family from the bottom of my heart.

I feel that at this time, whether it is in terms of work and life, or in terms of mental maturity, I already have the conditions to take good care of my future partner.

Someone offered me an introduction, and I gladly accepted it.It's not that I feel lonely living alone, but that my current state is that I like stability and want to get married.Those who can live alone are either gods or beasts.I am neither, I am a simple person, a person with a normal sexual orientation, a person who loves life, a person who longs for a family, and a person who has the charisma to be loved and the ability to love others.

But I seem to be very picky, as I mentioned earlier, I am a very realistic person.I really don't like girls with average looks, and people with dull souls, I really don't feel it, so finding a partner seems simple to me, but it is actually not easy.

A neighbor introduced me to a girl. When I met her, I was disappointed the first time I saw her. Just because of her appearance, I didn't like her.In the end, I had to bite the bullet and had dinner with the girl. The girl insisted on paying the bill, so I paid first, because I knew that this was the first and last meal.

A netizen introduced her niece to me. The girl is in very good condition. She graduated with a master’s degree and works in a certain university in Hebei. I added WeChat to the girl, but from the beginning to the end, we didn’t chat a few words, and it was unnecessary to meet her. .There is a magnetic field between people. No matter whether they have met or not, some people can feel whether they are suitable or not when chatting.Feeling is very important. If you don’t have feelings for a person, the magnetic field will not deal with it. It can’t be said that it attracts and restrains each other, but I would rather go around alone there than get close to you.

My mother asked me, how was the conversation with the girl who was a college teacher?I said that I didn't feel anything about each other, and I didn't talk speculatively.My mother said, you are a boy, you have to take the initiative, and you have to cherish how good the family is.I instantly felt that my mother really didn't understand me, and I refuted my mother, feeling that this thing is very important, how can I take the initiative if I don't feel it?My mother continued to do my work again, what does it feel like, does it matter?You take the initiative.I immediately got angry, if I didn't feel it, I didn't feel it, and we didn't feel it. Even if I took the initiative, it was nothing more than a waste of time and energy, and an insult to my dignity.

Now, I'm 31 years old, single, and I don't have the crazy pursuit of love when I was young.The fascination for a person seems to have stayed many years ago, and I am unwilling to spend time and energy on building a relationship, pleasing a girl, and saying or doing things against my heart in order to achieve a certain purpose.The older you are, the more real you live and the more transparent you can see. Regarding love and marriage, the thoughts you have now are no longer the casualness of Buddhism, but the resignation of Buddhism.

Around the age of 25, I met the girl I most wanted to marry so far, and had an unforgettable relationship with her and spent time together day and night, but now, we have lost contact for many years. Around the age of 30, I met the girl who wanted to marry me the most so far. We have spent four seasons together. She can tolerate all my joys, sorrows, joys and twists and turns in the past, but we did not come together in the end. After teaching each other to grow, each of them dissipated in the crowd.

I seem to have used up all the good luck in relationships in these years, so it is very difficult to find someone who wants and can marry.

When will I get married, I don't know.If you marry a person, the premise must be that you like this person, and the second is to love this person. You think her appearance is the one you like, with big eyes, double eyelids, and fair skin.Her soul is very interesting, she can chat with you, and you have feelings for each other.She admires you, tolerates you, and even worships you. There is light in her eyes and love in her heart, and she embraces you through the sea of ​​people.And you are determined to spend all the good luck and time of the rest of your life to take care of her, accompany her, and give her happiness and joy. No matter what kind of vicissitudes you experience, you will be loyal and accompany you all your life, and never leave.

2023. What plans do I have in [-]?
During the 40 days since I left BJ and settled in SJZ, because I posted some related articles and short videos on the Internet, I have received messages and comments from many people one after another. There are blessings, envy, doubts and comments. negative.Whether it is flattery or gossip, I no longer pay attention and care.Living real and free and easy has gradually become my normal state.

During the eight years of working and living in BJ, I have some of the most memorable times. One is in 2017. In that year, I worked as a pre-sales manager at HKUST Xunfei. All over the world, life is busy and fulfilling, and I can clearly see my growth every day after training in a listed company.The second is that in 2019, I served as the pre-sales solution manager of the Siyuan School project team in the TAL Smart Education Division.During the business trips across the country that year, I visited dozens of cities in more than ten provinces, and saw the vastness of the motherland and the magnificent mountains and rivers.I also made money, gained knowledge, led seven or eight million-level smart education projects, and experienced educational poverty alleviation in most poverty-stricken areas across the country.

The third is that in 2020, I was responsible for the pre-sales work of JDZ Smart City at Jinshan Cheetah, led several tens of millions of urban informatization projects, and made a group of interesting colleagues and partners. Let me complete the transformation from smart education pre-sales to smart city pre-sales in my work.Fourth, in 2021, I will reshape an ideal life. In the first half of the year, I will go running, go to the gym, learn to dance, go to run a marathon, and go to study and write with my heart.I resigned in the second half of the year, and drove a car alone, and spent two months traveling to nearly 30 cities in eight provinces including XZ, Qinghai, XJ, and Gansu. After returning to BJ from afar, my heart suddenly became much calmer , relieved many feelings and fetters that could not be let go before.

You see, only when people find their own value at work, have growth and harvest, and live the life they want, will they find that time the most memorable and interesting, because you feel that life at that time is so full of meaning and light. lofty.

From BJ to SJZ, I have finally lived my ideal life. Driving is no longer restricted by the Beijing entry permit. No matter how far away the car is, it only takes half an hour. From home to work, it only takes half an hour to take the subway. Downstairs is the departure station of the subway, and there are seats everywhere.Live in your own house and eat what you want.The income in this city is on the upper side, with a house, a car, a stable job, and a well-off life is nothing more than that.

I actually really hate the rules and regulations of big cities, like at the beginning of the month, I was recruited into class A, and I had a high fever, and my throat was so sore that I couldn't speak.When I arrived at the hospital, I first queued up for registration, and then the doctors at the fever clinic asked me to fill out a bunch of forms, and then gave me various tests and examinations. Not to mention the cost of several hundred yuan for the examination, this series of links will be endless. Wasted a lot of my time.I said to the doctor: I just want to get a fever-reducing injection, does it take so much trouble?The doctor smiled at me kindly: We are a regular hospital, and we need to go through the procedures required by the hospital.I looked at the doctor and cursed in my heart: go to your mother's process, refused all the checks, and walked out of the hospital with my legs lifted.

When I got home at night, I drove for 10 minutes to Zhengding County next to my home. I found a small clinic. After listening to my symptom description, the old doctor took my temperature, looked at my tongue coating and tonsils, and prescribed it. I made a medicine list, and immediately gave me two bottles of liquid infusion. The fever subsided immediately, the pain in my throat was relieved, and I felt much more comfortable and relaxed.

The next day, I went to the small clinic for two injections, and the symptoms were cured.The money spent on a medical treatment is not as much as the inspection cost of a regular large hospital.

I work in the urban area of ​​SJZ, buy a house in Zhengding New District, live and spend in Zhengding County next door, with high income and low consumption.You can drive everywhere, the traffic is not very crowded, it is very casual and convenient.I like this kind of life to be able to wander in the prosperity and majesty of a big city, but also enjoy the comfort and market life of a small county town.

Yesterday, I made a plan for myself for 2023. In addition to working hard, I should make full use of my spare time, such as reading, writing, running and running marathons. In 2023, you will continue to subtract from your social interactions.You can live completely in your own world, but life has to be interesting enough to be meaningful.You can also socialize and meet new people, but they can give you positive guidance instead of consuming energy and time. In 2023, we must devote our time and energy to the right people and things. We must make this year the most memorable year when we look back on the past, and we must make every day a brand new one.
