C20 A girlfriend and another man are on good terms
"Bottle, me." I was going to say I had resigned, but I stopped myself. I wanted to let her know that my six or seven thousand a month job was gone, and I wondered if she would be more upset than I was.
"Say what you want to say!" "No," she said.
My phone rang. It was probably the application materials thrown out today. A recruitment team called me. I hastily ran outside to answer the call. "Hello."
"Yin Ran, are you busy with work?" It was his father.
"It's nothing. I'm not very busy."
"The weather is occasionally hot and cold, remember to pay attention to your body."
"Yes, I know. Dad, you too. Is everything alright at home? "
"Alright. Yin Ran, your two sisters have both gotten good grades, I am also happy that elder sister has gotten into a good school, but the school fees really make me worry, elder sister is also very sensible, I don't want to read anymore, but how can that be? Rich do not read books, rich do not last long, poor do not read books, the root of poverty is difficult to eliminate. I don't have any hope in this life, I just want you three siblings to not be like father and be looked down by others. Junior's tuition is nothing, but Eldest Sister. "
"Dad, I'll pay for eldest sister's tuition."
"Yin Ran, you are a sensible child. Your father didn't say anything else, and is still busy feeding the pigs."
"Dad!" Say hello to my two sisters and my mother. "
Father was afraid that the phone would be expensive, so he hung up the phone impatiently.
My heart was filled with a rare sense of warmth. Just as I placed the phone back into my pocket, Li Pinger immediately rushed in front of me. A phone call from your family? "
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Are you very rich?" You have to send money to your two younger sisters every month, and also have to bear the tuition of your two younger sisters.
Li Pinger mocked and ridiculed her in such a way, how did I manage to provoke her? " "What's wrong?"
"Yin Ran, you only have a monthly salary of several thousand yuan and you've already sent it to our family. How do we live?"
"Why can't I pass? Don't we have a good time now? Don't you have something to eat now? "
"Food? I was still sneaking a bag out of the dining room! "If I'm like other girls now, trying to buy this and that, would you be able to afford it?"
"Bottle, what's wrong with you?"
"If I were to ask you to buy such a watch now, would you buy it for me? You would rather throw the money to your sister than buy it for me. " As he spoke, he waved the new watch in his hand.
"Who bought it for you?"
"It's none of your business. You didn't buy it anyway!"
I know why she's angry, for the living expenses I send to my sister every month.
I didn't say anything else and just continued to eat. Li Pinger also felt that she was just too agitated a moment ago. She sat down and gently persuaded: Yin Ran, you only amount to about six thousand every month, and every month you send it over to your family more than a thousand. That's enough, if you still need to shoulder their tuition, then all the money you earn will be given to your family.
Li Pinger said a lot of things to help me analyze the benefits of not sending any money to my home. When she saw that I was indifferent, she became angry and threw over her hands, knocking all the food I was eating onto the ground. She angrily asked: "Are you deaf?"
"What do you want?"
"Do you have to pay for your sister's tuition?"
"Yes!"
She was so angry that tears started to flow out of her eyes, "I was still thinking that the two of us should live a good life and work hard for our future. But now, it seems that I can't count on you to fight alongside me. If I give you a choice, choose between me and your family. "
I answered without thinking, "Family."
"You can go." She had her back to me, her shoulders moving rhythmically, and I knew she was crying.
I walked over and hugged her from behind. "Bottle."
She flung it with force, "Scram!"
I clenched my teeth. "Family is the root of a person's life. In my heart, family is always the first priority."
"I've had enough of you! You have ambition! You are filial! But you have no money, so your girlfriend ran off with someone else! "Serves you right!"
"Damn you!" I slapped him, and in the middle of it I pulled my hand back.
She looked at me fiercely, wiping her tears as she went into the bathroom to make a phone call. A few minutes later, a car drove downstairs and a middle-aged man who looked familiar was waiting there.
"Who's that man down there!?" I was furious.
Ignoring me, she ran downstairs, got into the car, and drove away. It was the black Audi limousine that brought Li Pinger back last time. That man looked familiar, as if she had met him before.
That person must be one of Li Pinger's bosses. Li Pinger called him, and he came over to pick Li Pinger up, needless to say, that person must have gone to do shameful things at night. I think Li Pinger and I split up, so how can she still be considered as wearing a green hat? F * ck! I slammed the door and went back to my own kennel, drank a few bottles of white wine, and fell into a deep slumber.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon. I felt dizzy as I looked at my phone. Yesterday, I got dozens of resumes and sent them out, but none of the employees contacted me. When I got off the bed and dressed, I was assaulted by a rotten smell. I wanted to vomit, but there was a disgusting green liquid on the wooden table, and the peaches I bought a few days ago had already fermented and turned into pulp. They had grown mold, becoming a feast for cockroaches and ants.
I finished with my nausea and lay down on the edge of the bed to light a cigarette. My life, no subway, no meetings, no travel plans, no afternoon coffee, no black tea, no after-work dates, no late-night cabs music.
I was the only one lying still, as if waiting for the withered old tree to die. I resent the injustice of this world, the fact that resentment can spread from the cold floor of the basement to the ceiling like mold, I can't get rid of it, spring winds are born again, I think I should go out for a walk, or else I would have hanged myself in despair in the basement, I was sick to death while I was alive, I didn't want to be eternally in the basement after death. If I hang myself here, my corpse will be like that peach. I'll see a lot of disgusting animals eating my flesh, and eventually all my flesh will be eaten by them, not even the slurry of liquid will be spared, leaving a skeleton dangling in the air.
Walking about the streets like a wanderer, finding the afternoon when I didn't have to go to work so horrible, the streets of the city hardly had any of my kind, the streets were filled with people walking, except for housewives, traders, and laborers, who occasionally hurried past me with young people who resembled me in some way because of the anxiety on their faces. But their anxiety was different from mine. They still had briefcases in their hands, which meant they had something to do. What do I want to do now? Not a will.
These people, like me, are all young chicks who have just hatched from the shell of a university incubator, awkward little birds who have yet to sprout the feathers of their jobs. They are generally very poor, have a low self-esteem, and wear cheaply, so they are generally ugly. This era was also the era where the unemployed were most detested in history.
Our brows were drawn together, our faces were sorrowful, and we usually looked forward to the opportunity, but when we met people, we would all let out a professional smile, with a bit of youthful, cheap modesty and calm. The utilitarian heart was in the eyes, the competitive heart in the face.
I turned into a shopping mall and it was deserted, a bunch of old people sitting in a free chair, sucking in the cold air. I had never noticed them before, and it dawned on me that they must have been here since the afternoon, each taking their accustomed place, and then they sat all day until the sun went down. I saw a great desert, barren of grass, with only a vast expanse of white time left, their cheap watches and crutches worth more than their time.
As if I had gone mad, to use this description, let's put it another way: seven, eight, nine heads, set up in a very good bowling position, built into the shape of a plum superwind practicing the nether white claws, but let's say, because the bodies of these heads are too old for anyone to eat. I got goose bumps.
Looking towards another corner of the shopping mall, there were two young and fashionable girls drinking tea happily. The sunlight shone through the tree that was half yellow and half green, giving them a dazzling gold color. There was such a beautiful side to the world. Why would I want to make myself look like a stiff corpse pulled out of a freezer and breathing cold? For a job? Just because of a few bitches? Or for a few women you want but can't get?
F * ck! I must think of a way to survive!
In the mall, there was a sign that said "Long Term Recruitment for Part-Time Workers". The sign had probably been there for a long time, and even its color had faded a lot.
I thought it would be a part-time job in the mall, so the Personnel Department took me to the parking lot on the first floor of the shopping mall. Pointing to a car wash, he expressionlessly asked: "Washing man, one day sixty, nine in the morning to six in the evening, working overtime one clock and five dollars, are you willing to do it?"
