Chapter 68 Years of Poverty
Because he had enough sleep last night, Liu Sen felt refreshed and comfortable after getting up early today. Riding the bicycle he bought when he got married, he came to the street, bought six steamed meat bags, ate a bag of soy milk, and then rushed to school.
Although Liu Sen has been able to earn thousands of yuan a month since he got to know the online red police game, his salary is only more than 1,500 yuan a month, which is really heaven and earth, and Liu Sen really no longer pays attention to that salary. However, Liu Sen also understands that after all, that's his job, and now the money earned by playing online games is only a pleasure. It's like the difference between a beautiful lover and a wife with hair. Although the married wife may not be beautiful, or even a yellow-faced woman who is no longer has yellow flowers, she will always accompany you. No matter what you do, whether you are rich or not, sick or not, she will never leave you. She is the most loyal and reliable cornerstone and pillar in your life. But the real lover is different. They may be glorious, youthful, lovely, and even make you unable to control yourself. However, no matter what, she can only be a passer-by in your life, and will never be a person who can share your honor and disgrace with you.
Wenlin's handbag contains the credit card of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. In that card, more than 10,000 yuan has been deposited. This is all his belongings! Moreover, this is also the first time in his life that Liu Sen has owned more than 10,000 funds alone! What does it mean to have it alone? That is, you have absolute autonomy and can completely control and control by yourself!
With a kind of self-confidence and joy, Wenlin came to a store and bought the highest-grade cigarette - Su Yan. Shit, it's 40 or 50 yuan a box! However, even if it's more expensive, Liu Sen doesn't care. Humph, he has money now! Then he hummed a little song and hurried to the school.
came to the unit and looked at the curriculum. There was no class in the morning, so Liu Sen circled around his office and then went to his friend's precious office. Well, I really don't have time to sit in his office.
After arriving at the precious office, I saw that the precious was surfing the Internet, looking very focused.
"Why, do you work so attentively?" Liu Sen joked.
"Oh, Director Liu, why do you have time to visit me?" Precious just glanced at him and was still playing with his computer.
It is valuable to be the director of general affairs in the unit, while Liu Sen is the director of electric education. The relationship between the two of them is very special, both fellow villagers and classmates. However, in terms of ability, Liu Sen can't but admit that his valuable ability is indeed much better than himself, especially in dealing with social affairs. This guy really has some Taoism.
Liu Sen sat down on the imitation mahogany chair, poured a glass of water from the teapot, and slowly tasted it.
At this time, Baogui finally looked away from the computer and handed Liu Sen a cigarette. Liu Sen looked at the seven-yuan box of "Little Panda" cigarettes. Liu Sen didn't take it over and said, "Come on, my Baoda director, let's smoke me!" In terms of grade, it's much more expensive than your box of cigarettes!"
With that, Liu Sen took out a box of Su cigarettes from his pocket and threw them on his precious desk, which meant that I didn't want it! At this time, I saw that he was still lazy and precious, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept shouting, "Oh, Director Liu, you, where did you get rich?"
Liu Sen pulled out one from it, clicked it up, slowly swallowed the smoke ring, and said, "Ha ha ha, no meaning, no meaning!" Then he didn't say anything more, turned around and went away.
Liu Sen is also quite emotional about this classmate and fellow villager. This guy is very conceited because he has some ability. No matter for anyone, he has never looked at him. Therefore, his official career is not so smooth. Finally, he is a teenager and depressed. Of course, he is still very interested in Liu Sen. After all, he has been a normal student for three years, plus the neighboring village, so emotionally, the two of them have always been very close. Moreover, Liu Sen will find valuable ideas for many things.
Desp>In this way, Liu Sen also knows that a poor man, no matter what*, will not be respected by others, and it is already very good to get some sympathy and sympathy from others. It was also with this in mind that Liu Sen deliberately wanted to gradually recover his passive situation caused by poverty. Of course, this is not just a problem that a box of cigarettes can solve, but Liu Sen thought that he should know the information conveyed by such a box of high-end cigarettes.
Sitting in the office, Liu Sen swallowed cigarettes and couldn't help sighing. Because of his own office (which has only been adjusted for a few days), he feels very comfortable and comfortable. Just as Liu Sen was just letting go of his thoughts, suddenly the door of his office rang and a person came in, of course, one of his colleagues. In Liu Sen's unit, it has become a kind of atmosphere, and it is a very normal atmosphere. If someone has never left the nest, then others will have a meeting and say one after another, "Who, who, why don't you stay in the office all day? This person seems to have something wrong!" In such a situation, who else dares not to go out for a walk often, and as for the office, it doesn't matter! Only interpersonal relationships are the most important!
And Liu Sen here, because of his own office, he regards this place as his station, and of course, he has become the owner of this station. Since you are the master, of course you have to treat guests. Therefore, Liu Sen will greet everyone who comes to him very enthusiastically, and then let the tea and smoke be very enthusiastic. Because of this, Liu Sen is not a bad person in the eyes of his colleagues.
In China, only in this way can we survive. Haha, thousands of years of customs can't be changed in a few days. Survival of the fittest, the middle way, is always the basic law of survival in China.
For this point, Liu Sen is full of fire.
Seeing a colleague, Liu Sen still greeted him very enthusiastically. Seeing that the colleague was the kind of smoker, he handed over the cigarette. At the beginning, the colleague was also very polite and said, "Don't suck, don't suck, suck a lot!" However, when he saw that the cigarette Liu Sen took out turned out to be "Su Yan", his eyes immediately lit up and immediately changed his tone and said, "Haha, Brother Sen, when did you receive such a good gift? Well, not bad, not bad! Let's follow you and get a shine. Let's get one!"
So the colleague lit the "Su Yan", took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes tightly, as if he were tasting. Then, he exhaled the smoke that had been inhaled into his stomach and shouted, "Ah, good smoke, good smoke, it's really good smoke!"
Since Liu Sen had just come back from smoking from precious, he did not smoke with that colleague anymore, but smiled and looked at the other party intoxicated with good smoke.
Is it a kind of enjoyment to let others bathe in their own favors?
It's just that all this needs money to maintain.
"FUCK, if I don't have the 'New World' I found to make this money for myself, let alone 'Su Yan', even the 'red panda' can't afford to smoke!" Liu Sen sat at his desk and couldn't help but return to his unforgettable poor days...
It can be said that he was born in a poor family and doesn't have much ability. Therefore, Liu Sen's life can be seen whether he is doing well. Let's put it this way, since I started to work after graduating from my normal school, I didn't owe foreign debt for a year, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands of yuan. I don't know what's going on. After getting married, Liu Sen originally wanted to use the strength of two people to improve his income level, but the actual situation was contrary to expectations. Because his wife did not find a job at that time, she later added children and a family of three ate his dead salary. Of course, if his salary is high enough, or he receives the salary of two people like his dual employees, of course, his living standard will be greatly improved. But can he do it?
The income is certain, and the cost can't be spent, so you can only save it from your own belly. Liu Sen also knows that the result of compressing the belly is that their family will be far behind others in the near future or for a long time.
For a long time, Liu Sen was afraid of borrowing money from others, but during that period of time, he had to borrow money from others. Liu Sen dares to say that in terms of borrowing money, there is no one in the world who can really taste the taste of borrowing money from others like Liu Sen. One word, difficult! Two words: It's really difficult! Three words! It's too difficult!
But at the beginning, Liu Sen was incompetent to make money, and he could only be a poor man. In the days without money, Liu Sen lived a life worse than death at the beginning! What prestige, status, self-confidence and dignity were all thrown into Java. There were only two words left for him at that time: independence!
And the situation that made Liu Sen owe a huge debt for the first time when his nephew got married. Of course, for the sake of his own sister, he should do his best to run for his nephew's marriage. However, his situation at that time was very bad: his wife had not gone to work because she took care of the children, and the family still lived on his dead salary. The degree of tension at that time can be imagined! However, the nephew's marriage, especially the marriage of the first subordinate in their family, can't be treated as an important thing! At that time, the situation of the second sister's family was extremely difficult. The child was getting married, but she only had more than 1,000 yuan! However, what is more than 1,000 yuan enough for? The glorious gift money must be at least more than 11,000! There was nothing I could do, so the second sister begged for the door of her mother's house! The second sister begged to come to her, as her mother's family, as her eternal reliable rear, as her eternal hometown, and her eternal backbone, she should be so when she encounters difficulties.
And when the second sister told Liu Sen about the matter, Liu Sen's economic situation at this time was also close to the "three-year natural disaster" period, and the third brother, which the whole family relied on, was also a little difficult. Under such circumstances, Liu Sen was very heroic at that time and took on the difficult task of raising funds for his nephew. That is to say, he has to raise nearly 10,000 yuan for his nephew's marriage through various channels, and the time is also in a hurry, only more than ten days.
At that time, Liu Sen, on the one hand, contacted the bank for a loan, and on the other hand, he asked for a lot of loans from his colleagues. Liu Sen's personality is not the kind of person who is very friendly, so there are not many people who really want to get along with him. In addition, he is shy and hesitant, so he has always been very passive about borrowing money. At that time, he contacted a loan of 6,000 yuan in rural credit cooperatives. At that time, the idea was to borrow as little as possible. After all, this thing is a "long tail" (interest).
Liu Sen put forward all his salary for that month, and it was only more than 700 yuan. After that, he borrowed 2,500 yuan from several close colleagues and raised a total of 3,000 yuan. The third brother collected 2,000 yuan. Later, the eldest sister found out and raised 2,000 yuan. In this case, in fact, the loan only costs 4,000 yuan.
There is another change in the elder sister's 2,000 yuan. Because the second sister owes the eldest sister 2,000 yuan, she has not returned it because of many things. For this, the second sister did not tell the eldest sister the news of the monkey's marriage. However, the eldest sister still found out through the third brother's mouth, so she collected another 2,000 yuan to send it. Family affection is always family affection. Everything in this world can be changed, but only family affection will never change.
Although there are still a few good colleagues who are good with Liu Sen, it happens that the second sister owes money to the eldest sister. It's not as good as she said about her son's marriage. She still owed hundreds of yuan to those good brothers (including precious ones), and it has been a long time, so she still has What kind of face do you want to borrow money from them? In this, there is only the younger army left.
And when Liu Sen went to Ah Jun's house to borrow money for his nephew's business, Ah Jun's words made Liu Sen think about it for a long time. He said, do you have to help them if you don't have money? Yeah, what can I do if I don't have money? It's hard for Mud Bodhisattva to cross the river, and he still helps others? And another meaning, Liu Sen can't hear it: since you don't have money, you shouldn't borrow money for your sister anymore! There are some reluctant meanings in the words. When Liu Sen heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and then turned white. He didn't say anything at the beginning, but thought that he was doing something for his second sister. The second sister treated her well! Alas, for the sake of my compatriots and sisters, I should put up with it, and I have to put up with it!
Later, Liu Sen said, "Isn't it your own sister, your own sister's matter? Do as much as you can! In fact, this should be your own job! If you are not generous enough, that's all. In fact, it's okay. I'll go somewhere else to have a look.
After all, Er Ajun was a good brother with himself. Although he was a little reluctant, he still gave 500 yuan to him. At that time, when the salary level was only 700 yuan, it was really good for people to lend 500 yuan to themselves.
The money was finally gathered, but it made Liu Sen scared to rest for several days. After all, this is 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan! This is the largest amount of money that Liu Sen has handled since he grew up! During the day, Liu Sen added two locks to his door; at night, he simply hid the money in his computer host box, and often got up in the middle of the night to see if the 10,000 yuan was still there...
Finally, the second sister called. Liu Sen gently took the 10,000 yuan out of the main box of the computer, then wrapped countless layers of paper in the three layers, then put it in his arms, and sewed countless needles and threads with needles, so he carefully sent it to the second sister.
When Liu Sen handed over the 10,000 yuan to the second sister, the second sister was so moved that her eyes flowed and kept saying that it was thanks to her mother's family.
Liu Sen just smiled and kept comforting the second sister. But his heart is very sour. Liu Sen thought, second sister, how did you know that her mother's family also suffered a lot...
Anyway, my nephew's marriage was finally over, which became the only thing Liu Sen could be proud of in those quite difficult days...
And as for those days when he was close to money, Liu Sen was even more unforgettable. Often, even some of the money required by the school is often only a few dozen yuan, and he can't afford it. For this reason, it is more common to find some close brothers to borrow it.
In this case, although he can say what the reason is to others, he is naturally very depressed to borrow money from others for dozens of yuan. He also understands that he should narrow the scope as much as possible and let fewer and fewer people know that he has borrowed money. However, rich can't hide, and poor can't hide. These are all helpless things.
Sometimes, in order to borrow so much money from others, Liu Sen also hesitated for a long time and thought that he could still consider going to someone. So after careful consideration, he finally summoned up his courage and came to the man's door. But often after this time, he became timid again. He often wandered around the door of this person's house for a long time and finally did not enter the door.
As the saying goes, "People are poor and short-sighted, and horses are thin and long-haired." This word is extremely refreshing and prepared, which is a classic word that understands the cold and warm human feelings in the world!
And Liu Sen's most memorable memory of borrowing money was in the year he got married. In the fourth year after his graduation, after a lot of betrothal gifts and money, Liu Sen finally chose his wife, the current wife. However, when I got married, I was almost out of marriage by the word "money"!
At that time, the bride price was 3,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan. Today, of course, it was nothing, but at that time, it was a considerable amount. Of course, at that time, the general betrothal gift was not less than 6,000 yuan, but because the other party did not have a formal job, he made concessions on the betrothal gift. However, even with this 3,000 yuan, the whole family has been worried for many days...
