Some people say that youth is like a flower, which needs the nourishment of sunshine and rain to be beautiful and moving; It is also said that youth is like rough jade, which needs careful polishing to be exquisite and precious; And I think youth is a knife, which needs constant sharpening to be extremely sharp and invincible.

When my father told me to go to work, I couldn't believe my ears, because I was only thirteen years old and just graduated from primary school. My father, who has been unwilling to let me do heavy work, let me earn money by myself, saying that he wanted me to learn to grow up. I cried for a long time, but he was indifferent, so I had to embark on the journey of finding a job.

It was early autumn, and the coolness spread. I tightened my clothes and stood in front of a fast food restaurant. I looked not far away, and my father nodded me in. I finally set foot on the stairs, but I turned around and waved to my father. However, my father stopped looking at me and looked away. The glass door of the fast food restaurant reflects my tangled appearance, and my eyebrows are almost twisted into a ball. I took a deep breath and thought, what's the big deal? Throwing caution to the wind When I walked in, an elder sister greeted me and asked with a smile, what does Miss Sister want to eat? "I am tongue-tied: Oh, no, it's not ... I mean, is this store still hiring? I want to work. " Big sister showed a surprised expression: you, you are still so young, you come to work? Sorry, we don't recruit child labor. "Say that finish went to greet other guests. I walked out of the shop with my head down. I don't know why, but I breathed a long sigh of relief. At this moment, I suddenly found that my hands were full of sweat. I walked up to my father and shook my head. My dad simply said, get in the car and let's ask at the next door. "One morning, I spent in my job application and rejection.

Finally, my father decided to let me shine shoes, so there was the little girl who shined shoes in Hutong. My first customer was an aunt. She gave me a warm feeling when she smiled. Under the guidance of my aunt shoeshine, I clumsily polished shoes, washed dust and waxed them ... It's been half an hour since I tossed those shoes, but my aunt is not annoyed. She asked me some questions about my family situation and gave me dozens of dollars more, and then left me with a beautiful back. I grabbed the tens of dollars tightly, regardless of the shoe polish on my hand, so I took it and kissed it suddenly. I suddenly feel that there is nothing shameful about working to earn money, because I earned it myself.

Under the strange eyes of passers-by, in the cool breeze of early autumn, and with the encouragement of every kind customer, I mastered the shoe-shining technology skillfully. The happiest time every day is counting money, and then my dad always smiles and says, "I have tasted the sweetness, and it's time to show some respect to my dad ..." As the school starts, I have earned thousands of dollars, which is the most meaningful holiday I have ever spent.

Bao Jianfeng comes from sharpening, and plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold! My youth is a knife. If I keep grinding it, it will become extremely sharp and invincible.
