Chapter 134 Ordinary Work

Kenichi Kitamura, who had just returned to his residence after finishing his work at the convenience store and dragging his exhausted body, threw himself directly on the tatami.He didn't want to move at all at the moment.

He stood in the convenience store for several hours. Not only did his feet feel tired, but his whole body felt tired.Even so, I still insist on drawing comics.

The smart thing about Kenichi Kitamura is that he has long seen that people like him who work hourly in convenience stores have no future at all.

In addition to simple repetition, repetition, and repetition, his daily work is only monotonous and boring.If you are unlucky one day and meet a customer who has a snake syndrome, you will be very unhappy.

For people like me who work odd jobs in convenience stores, the only spiritual sustenance is to become a full-time employee.He is better than others in just one thing, and his spiritual sustenance comes from drawing comics.

Kitamura Kenichi felt more and more like a fly that had gotten into a glass bottle without knowing it at all. He was confused and inexplicable.

Before I entered, it seemed so nice there, but in fact, after I entered, I gradually realized that it was not what I thought.90.00% of these difficulties are caused by the fact that I have never even thought about it.

After Kitamura Kenichi came to Tokyo, one of his most personal feelings was that the various beautiful longings, freshness, expectations, etc. that he had from the beginning have changed after experiencing various beatings in the real society. Nothing left.

He could only watch the beautiful world here, but it was really difficult to truly integrate into this international metropolis.

Singing and singing every night, reveling in luxury, feasting and feasting... they have absolutely nothing to do with me. They are simply in two completely different worlds.

Revolving sushi, a common food that rich people simply look down upon, is already a big meal for me.Kitamura Kenichi thought for a while, when was the last time he ate revolving sushi?
He clearly remembered the day of his birthday last year.In order to save money, I was reluctant to serve the two sea urchin sushis on the golden plate.

Kitamura Kenichi and most Japanese people also know that although Japan is an island country and has a wide variety of seafood products, you cannot eat revolving sushi as you like.

In fact, sea urchin is not a very high-end ingredient, and the so-called Japanese sushi is nothing more than different combinations of seafood and rice.

A new Japanese drama he had watched recently called "Eating Crabs with the Snow Girl" suddenly appeared in Kitamura Kenichi's mind.

His situation is inevitably similar to that of the male protagonist in the Japanese drama who was about to commit suicide.The better part about me is that although my life is hard, I haven't thought about committing suicide yet.

The male protagonist wanted to commit suicide, but he saw the scene of others eating king crab on TV and was very satisfied, so he thought that before he died, he should eat king crab once, since he had never eaten it before.

Even if a large king crab costs 6 yen, the male protagonist, who only has more than 2 yen in his pocket, finds a way to temporarily survive.

According to the male protagonist's simple idea, he doesn't need to eat such a big king crab. He only needs small king crabs, which won't cost too much money.

The reason why it can arouse the resonance in Kitamura Kenichi's heart is that he has lived for more than 20 years and has never eaten king crab once.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.Even if your wish is so small, it is difficult to realize it.

Kitamura Kenichi is still confused after all these years in Tokyo. "Bumping around like a headless chicken" is a description of a person like myself.

Even he himself knows that engaging in comics requires not only talent and good ideas, but also luck.Reading comics and drawing comics are not the same thing at all.What's more, the job of drawing comics is definitely not something that laymen can understand.On the surface it looks pretty good and a bit romantic, but it's quite painful.If I didn't really like it, I would have given up long ago and quit.

Suddenly, Kitamura Kenichi's cell phone rang.He received such a conditioned reflex, so he went to find his mobile phone.He still had no intention of getting up and just touched it with his right hand.

As soon as Ken Kitamura touched the phone, he saw that the caller ID on the screen was Kentaro Miyamoto. Then he pressed the green answer button and the hands-free button, and said succinctly: "Say."

Kentaro Miyamoto heard the weakness in the other party's voice: "Are you tired?"

Kitamura Kenichi said matter-of-factly: "It's okay! I just came back from get off work at the convenience store, so I need to take a breather."

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly: "Understand, understand."

Kitamura Kenichi said with joy in the hardship: "The only good thing about my job is that I can basically guarantee to get to and from get off work on time. Even if it is temporary overtime, there will still be corresponding overtime pay."

This is much better than the life of ordinary office workers who have to work overtime almost every day.Many of them do not receive overtime pay for overtime work, or only receive nominal overtime pay. "

It’s not like Kentaro Miyamoto didn’t know that his kind of job not only had poor stability and low income, but also had little social status and security.

Otherwise, Japan would not go to Southeast Asia and other countries to recruit people as trainees to fill the domestic shortage of manpower for these jobs.

In Japan, if there is no better option, Japanese people will not take the initiative to do it. They would rather work overtime every day until late at night.

Kentaro Miyamoto said considerately: "If you feel tired, I won't bother you."

Kenichi Kitamura quickly picked up his phone and sat up and said, "No! If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully: "I don't have anything to do, I just wanted to chat with you."

Ken Kitamura kept saying straightforwardly: "Okay! I'm just looking for someone to chat with, to vent my frustrations, and to vent the pressure that's been pent up in my heart. In fact, I'm not averse to hourly wages either.

As I get older, I feel more and more that the kind of work I do is meaningless and has no future at all. "

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "Ordinary work, or light physical labor, is what it is. If you feel that you earn less, you might as well consider doing heavy physical labor.

However, this way you won't be able to draw comics at all.There are also thresholds for heavy physical labor.I thought I couldn't do it.

Besides, heavy physical labor still has certain risks.Being injured and disabled is definitely not a joke.What's more, if people are overworked, their life span will be shortened. "
