A slave of a child~ Install wooden doors

On December 7, 2024 (Sunday: heavy snow), I met Lao Xu on the green train back to Jinhua from Nanjing.

Old Xu was taciturn, and saw his right hand often supported on the table in the middle of the seat and holding his chin and gazing outside the train window. Trains flew, trees and electric rods reflected the square farms and fields flew over…

During our chat, I knew that Lao Xu was born in the installation wooden door, and for nearly thirty years. Old Xu said that he started to install wooden doors in Jinhua before his childhood was married, and he also worked as a person with two children. Now the older child is in college and the younger child is about to graduate from high school. Old Xu also said that the business was fine five years ago, and he hired two or three helpers to work together to make money when the wooden door was installed. However, in recent years, the business of installing wood doors has become worse and worse. In the past two years, I can still take time to rest for a few days. It was impossible to have a few days of rest ten years ago!

Lao Xu said that by the 2024 wooden door installation business, he said that he couldn\’t believe that his store often has no business to do, so he can often rest for half a month or even a month! When Lao Xu said this, he muttered with a sigh: I have never been like this before, what should I do in the future…
