Chapter 502: Your Mother Doesn't Like Me
Xia Xiaona hurriedly explained: "Mom, I have told him this several times, but he doesn't listen. ”
Li Xin's mother turned her head and asked Li Xin, "What do you stay up all night for?
"Mom, am I that bored, and it's worth staying up all night to watch movies and play games?"
Li Xin's mother felt even more strange when she heard this: "Then why are you staying up late?"
Li Xin said: "Look at the futures market. ”
"Is it the work that the employer has assigned you to do?"
"No, it's my own business. ”
"Oh, are you doing these things so hard? If that's the case, I don't think you'd better do it, because your body won't be able to bear it for a long time. ”
Li Xin smiled: "Mom, you said it lightly. ”
"Isn't that the case? Lao Li, are you right?" Li Xin's mother saw that she couldn't convince her son, so she hurriedly sought her husband's support.
Li Xin's father said: "Little brother, your mother is right, you have to listen to her in this matter." As the saying goes, eating ginseng is not as good as sleeping five watches, and staying up late for a long time is very harmful to the body. Your state of staying up late must change as soon as possible, or you will regret it in the future. ”
Xia Xiaona's parents also interjected when they heard this: "Li Xin, what your parents said is right, the habit of staying up late is not good, you should change it, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it." ”
Li Xin saw that he had become the target of public criticism, and hurriedly said to him: "Okay, okay, I won't stay up late in the future." He knew that even he felt a little crazy about the current situation, and he couldn't explain it to others.
From his own personal feelings, this wave of shorting copper positions is more difficult. This kind of hardship, even compared with the feeling of long copper prices at a low level three years ago, is even more than that.
Three years ago, when I went long on the copper price, it didn't take long after the purchase to open the position, the copper price rose rapidly, and the price quickly broke out of its own cost price range, and there was a lot of profit on the books. The most important thing is that the trend of copper prices rising at that time was very clear, and there was not much tossing in between.
However, this time the short copper price is different, and the account is losing money for a long time after selling and opening a position.
Even after the price came out of the downtrend and the profit on the account gradually increased, the trend of the market was full of twists and turns. is like the rebound after the wave of bottoming from August 13th to August 22nd, almost all the profits on Li Xin's account were lost back. Only Li Xin himself knew that at that time, if the price continued to rise a little more, he would no longer be able to hold on, and he would close all the short positions he held.
Fortunately, the price fell again on August 22, which made Li Xin continue to hold the position until now.
But I finally persevered until now, and the position in my hand has been enlarged to the maximum, and the price has seen a wave of bottoming out.
If the price really continues to rise next week, then the position that I have worked hard for more than two months is likely to be empty.
Now facing his parents, although Li Xin shows a very relaxed appearance, only he knows that he is currently under tremendous psychological pressure and has to stay up late every day, not to mention that his mother doesn't let him do this, even if he really can't last long.
Li Xin's mother said to Xia Xiaona at this time: "Nana, you two have to eat a little better after you get married, otherwise you will stay up late and eat badly, and your body will collapse, so if you can't do it, hire a nanny." ”
Xia Xiaona nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”
At 9 o'clock in the evening, everyone sat in the living room after dinner and ate moon cakes while watching TV. Li Xin quietly glanced at Xia Xiaona, so Xia Xiaona said to her parents: "Dad, Mom, Li Xin and I are going to the top of the West Mountain to see the moon, do you want to go with us?"
The parents of the two were chatting happily, and Xia Xiaona's mother waved her hand and said, "No, no, we are going to watch the gala at home, you young people can go by yourself." ”
Li Xin's mother also said: "That's it, you young people go play by yourself, remember to come back early, don't be too late." ”
Li Xin and Xia Xiaona agreed, went out and got in the car, and went straight to Xishan in the suburbs.
Xishan is located in the west of Jiangcheng City, 15 kilometers away from the main urban area, the highest altitude of this mountain is 2500 meters, under the mountain is an area of more than 300 square kilometers of plateau lake, there are two thousand-year-old temples on the mountain, the mountain is densely forested, it is the most famous forest park in Jiangcheng.
The mountain is highly forested, and there is a road that winds from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it is a good place for Jiangcheng residents to travel and relax every holiday. From the foot of the mountain, you can enjoy the night view of Gangseong City and the beautiful scenery of the plateau lake along the way.
Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is particularly good, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are many citizens along the way who go up the mountain with flashlights to enjoy the night view.
Li Xin and Xia Xiaona drove to the top of the mountain, found a secluded place in the hilltop park, and overlooked the night view of the river city under the mountain by the railing.
Xia Xiaona took Li Xin's hand and said, "Do you know which is the most beautiful ancient poem about the moon?"
"Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts"?"
"It's not. ”
"Which one do you say?"
It is Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head". ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Xia Xiaona said: "I like these two sentences the most: people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
"It's good, but it always sounds a little melancholy. ”
Xia Xiaona said: "The clouds and sunny days are short, the joys and sorrows are separated, it sounds a little sad, but his last sentence wishes people a long time, isn't the meaning of a thousand miles of Chanjuan very good?
"Well, definitely. ”
Xia Xiaona said a little sadly: "But I think your mother seems to be a little dissatisfied with me. ”
"Why do you think that?" Li Xin was surprised.
"When I talked about your staying up late at home just now, your mother seemed to be secretly blaming me for not taking care of your life, and she said that after the two of us got married, I would make food for you, and there was a hint of distrust in my words. ”
"You're thinking too much, I can't see what she means, besides, what she said is what you should do. ”
"That's true, but I always feel like she's blaming me. ”
"My mother is like this, she speaks straightforwardly, and now you are her daughter-in-law, so she doesn't beat around the bush when she talks to you, I'll remind her another day, let her tell me something, I'll tell you again, isn't that good?"
"But don't, if you tell her, maybe she thinks I'm playing right and wrong in front of you, and I won't dare to face her in the future. ”
"Okay. Li Xin really didn't hear the meaning of blaming Xia Xiaona in his mother's words just now, and he also knew that Xia Xiaona was not a person who was telling right and wrong. But when Xia Xiaona said these words with a gloomy expression, she obviously looked very aggrieved.
Her mother hadn't met Xia Xiaona a few times in total, and the two of them probably wouldn't have been in contact for more than a few hours. Now that the wedding between herself and Xia Xiaona has not been held, there seems to be some contradictions between her mother and Xia Xiaona, which Li Xin did not expect. Both sides are his closest people, if there is a conflict between the two, Li Xin really doesn't know what to do.
Xia Xiaona saw Li Xin bowing her head and being silent, so she changed the topic: "When the wedding is held next week, don't you really invite some leaders in the company?"
"No, what are you asking them for?"
"Why didn't you just invite them?"
"The wedding is the most important thing in my life, and the people who come to it have to be my relatives and friends, right? But what are these people? They are neither my relatives nor my good friends. That's it, if they are a little polite, a little really learned, and people admire them a little, then there is a reason to invite them to my wedding, at least I will feel a little more comfortable. But look at the virtues of these people? They usually show off their might in the company, and they look like the king is the king, and they are the second king, and they don't look at people squarely. Isn't it disgusting to invite someone like this to my wedding?"
"You have to let them get by in terms of face, it turns out that you have invited those old employees of the sugar company, isn't it too bad to give them face if you don't invite them, and won't the relationship with them in the company be more difficult in the future?"
"The relationship between people is mutual, and if people don't plan to get along with me, it's useless for me to do anything. Besides, how good can the relationship with them be, after so many years, if it can be good, it will be better a long time ago. ”
"Then do you still give each person a pack of candy and a pack of cigarettes?"
"Yes, that's already giving them face. I just want them to see that I can treat the ordinary employees of the sugar company as guests, but I don't take them seriously. ”
"Aren't you afraid that they will give you little shoes?"
"Ever since the Southern Group merged with the sugar company, my little shoes have never been broken. If they want to get worse, I'll just turn around and leave. What's more, it's not the same as before, the Southern Group is now full of holes, and these people are mud bodhisattvas who cross the river and can't protect themselves, where do they still have the heart to think about that. ”
"What do you say happened to the Southern Group?"
"Don't you see? Two years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the group could still distribute mooncakes to employees, but this year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they couldn't send out mooncakes. As the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole leopard is seen, and the predicament that the Southern Group is facing now is exactly the same as the predicament faced by the sugar company at the beginning. You forget, before the sugar company went bankrupt, it couldn't even send out mooncakes for the holidays. ”
