Chapter 34: The Salted Fish Turns Over
On the night of the win, Ah Bao didn't get the money, and the lottery site didn't have so much cash, speaking of which, each ticket was two hundred yuan, but he won so many groups.
The boss said that he would pick it up the day after tomorrow, and at the end he smiled happily and said: "I heard that this kind of thing happened at other sites before, and many people went to buy it after the publicity, this time I trust your good luck, and my business here will be better in the future!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Chen Wenjin suddenly realized that this situation was also a danger for him...... He didn't know if there were many people who bought so many groups of people, but if more and more sites had this kind of thing where one person won many groups of two hundred dollars, would the aliens be suspicious of this?
"You can't play like this for a long time, after saving some capital, converge, and go to a safer market!" Chen Wenjin secretly made up his mind, the lottery thing can't come continuously, and it has to be separated by some time.
Ah Bao exchanged some first, and excitedly bought Dahua cigarettes on the spot, and when he smoked, he looked at the crowd on the street, and a kind of pride in the world spontaneously appeared, and he couldn't help but say: "Money is people's guts! Now I suddenly feel that the streets are full of stupid forks, and I suddenly feel that I have blown up the sky!"
"It's commonly known as expansion, but your expansion coefficient is too large, and the expansion speed is too fast. Chen Wenjin saw Ah Leopard holding Erlang's legs, and the frequency of shaking his legs and shaking his feet was far beyond ordinary.
"Please, don't you understand how inferior I am from a poor family since I was a child, and now I finally have a salted fish and turned over, can I not swell?" Ah Bao is in a good mood, and he doesn't mind using the word poor family to describe himself, in the past, he would say that he had no money, poor or something, but he would never say the word poor family.
"Two problems, first, don't say that I am from a capitalist family; second, whether the bonus of 180,000 yuan can be turned over depends on how to apply it in the future. β
"I didn't say that you are a capitalist, but can your family be in the same situation as my family? Do you know how much my parents earn in a year? 20,000 yuan is still a few dozen yuan! Your parents are both in state-owned enterprises, and your father is an official, with a high income and a decent income, can the situation be the same? Do you know that several times with classmates and friends I have met my mother at work, just sweeping the floor! Whether I recognize her or not is a pain of conscience for me, and in the end I have chosen to have a conscience and no face, pretending to be calm is actually very uncomfortable, and I know that there will be people who laugh at my poor family in their hearts! Do you feel this way?" Ah Leopard took a deep breath of cigarette and said with imagination for the future: "It will be different in the future!"
"I don't, because I don't have this kind of idea at all, don't forget, my mother is in a state-owned enterprise, but she also works in an internal guest house, the waiter and cleaning work are all covered, others asked me never hesitated to cover up, she also took care of the waste paper in the company, I often go to help move down and sell. Chen Wenjin never heard Ah Bao say this in his memory, obviously this is a very serious knot in Ah Bao's heart, because he has won 180,000 yuan at the moment before he has the courage to confide. I should talk to Ah Bao about this, even if it is a positive effect. β
"It's different! My mother is a street sweeper, and your mother is in a state-owned enterprise, so it doesn't matter if she can't get in, can it be the same? The money she takes is twice as high as my mother's, and she does less to do, so you don't have to be exposed to the wind and rain, and you have your father's decent support, of course you won't feel inferior!" Ah Bao felt that the situation was not at all the same.
"It may make sense to say this, but I think your logic is based on your own judgment of my situation, in fact, our family never discusses whether the profession is decent or not, my father is a pioneer, drinking tap water, saving money and eating raw chili mixed rice, relatives and friends at home come to Peng City to find a job, they live in my house for a short time, they do any work, they often come to visit my parents, will share interesting things at work, interesting people. They would have envied the better people, but they had not heard them step on other people's professions, nor had they ever said anything about despying their own work. Chen Wenjin looked at Ah Bao and listened, and continued: "If you look at it according to your logic, then my parents should also be inferior, there are leaders above his head, and there are comrades-in-arms who came to Peng City with him and have a higher official position than him; As for the group of relatives and friends in the village who work here, they should feel inferior. In the social division of labor...... In this way, the number of various jobs in a city is limited, there are not so many irreplaceable people, some jobs are occupied, and other equally replaceable people must go to other positions, which does not mean that those who are not in their positions do not have that ability. β
"It seems to make sense, but I think there are a lot of things I can't figure out for a while...... But there's one thing that I think is right! Maybe my mom likes to say, 'Don't do the menial job of sweeping the streets like I do,' and when I hear it, I think it's very lowly...... It seems like...... I just heard a classmate say, 'Don't sweep the garbage in the future,' and maybe I really listened to my mom say a lot. Ah Bao pondered, and felt that it was too much brain, so he simply put away the hazy thoughts, smoked Dahua cigarettes comfortably, and said: "Forget it! No matter what, it's all over anyway, from now on, I won't be a poor ghost!"
Chen Wenjin saw Ah Bao handing over the cigarette again, but still shook his head, the knot in Ah Bao's heart was untied, and he didn't have to think about it clearly.
"Why don't you go to a bar tonight? Go to the rich! Open the biggest private room, and invite all your friends to have a good night!" Ah Leopard couldn't wait to tell the people he knew that he Ah Leopard was rich and different. However, he immediately shook his head and vetoed the plan, saying: "It's better to talk about it a few days later, you have to get in the car! Gold, if someone asks, they will say that my parents have won the prize, hehe, envy them to death, and no one will laugh at their undignified work." β
"Okay. Chen Wenjin agreed happily.
The two chatted for a while, Ah Bao said to eat, and without waiting for Chen Wenjin to say, he said again: "Is it okay not to eat rice noodles today? Today is a big day for me, you accompany me to eat." β
"Didn't you say that you also like to eat rice noodles?" Chen Wenjin asked rhetorically, and Ah Bao smiled and said, "I like it, but of course I eat something else if I have money." Accompany me to eat funeral food at night! Just the shop on the road in front, I see it every time I pass by, but I heard that it is very expensive, and I don't have the courage to walk in to see the price, so I want to go in and try it today!"
"Okay. Chen Wenjin understood that Ah Bao's liking for rice noodles was the kind of liking when the choice was limited, and it was not the same as his liking.
Sitting in the restaurant, Ah Bao looked at the menu and couldn't help but whisper: ", it's really expensive! How much do we have to eat?"
"I plan to eat more than 100, and add two or three hundred to eat first, and I don't think about the upper limit of eating. Chen Wenjin couldn't make up his mind when he saw that Ah Bao couldn't make up his mind, so he suggested: "You can be regarded as a new taste, just look at the points you are interested in." β
"You often eat this at home, right?" Ah Bao guessed that he should come in to eat every three or five days, but Chen Wenjin shook his head with a smile and said: "Our family has eaten once, and no one proposes to come again if we don't catch a cold, and I have come here with my friends a few times." β
Chen Wenjin pondered, in fact, this friend is still in the future, and he is a person who loves to eat funeral dishes and is exquisite. Chen Wenjin's cursory understanding of the exquisite ingredients of exquisite foodies comes from this future friend.
It's a pity that Chen Wenjin doesn't belong to this Tao, his taste is too heavy, and if the scarce fish is dipped in super spicy chili sauce mixed with a heavy sauce through his way of eating, it will be a tyrannical thing. His friend was heartbroken at the time, and asked him not to waste thousands of fish and meat with chili peppers.
Chen Wenjin tasted the original flavor with great respect, and the meat was fresh and tender and outstanding, butβthat's all, it was indeed not his dish.
Later, when the two of them were eating together, Chen Wen was eating packaged rice noodles in a Japanese restaurant today, and it was thanks to the owner of the shop who was familiar with his friend that it didn't explode, but later, it also caused some small stories.
Chen Wenjin's thoughts were flying, thinking that time passed too quickly, and if he hadn't entered the restaurant, he hadn't remembered these past events for a long time...... Oh, now is the future for him.
Ah Bao placed an order, and with anticipation, he watched the food be delivered in the same way.
"Raw meat, just eat it like this?" Ah Bao really had the same reaction as Chen Wenjin at the beginning.
"My parents eat very easily and without pressure, and as for me, it's limited to trying. Chen Wenjin didn't eat it, because the incidence of parasitic diseases in the country is enough to explain the problem. It's not that you have to get hit when you eat it, but it's undoubtedly an artificial increase in risk, and if you like cooking in particular, you don't care about this risk, but he has a mediocre opinion of cooking, so he doesn't want to take extra risks for it.
"Isn't that just me eating alone?" said Leopard felt a little stressed.
"I estimated it when you ordered, you can handle it. Chen Wenjin said, eating ramen and baby octopus.
Ah Bao thought that it was impossible to waste, and that this was his dream for many years, so he mustered up the courage to eat, and found that it did not smell as fishy as he thought, and it was okay, so he tried to dip the sauce again, and ate it with great pleasure, and after a round, when he drank the wine, his face was full of joy that his wish had come true, but his mouth said: "This is the taste! I have been thinking about it for so many years, and it is not as delicious as I imagined before, so I can only say that it is not bad." Hey, the octopus is delicious, leave me one. β
After eating cooked octopus, Ah Leopard regretted that he should order two things today, but after spending the money, he had to sweep it away if he ate it tonight, so he continued to eat.
"Don't be in a hurry, chat and eat slowly. Chen Wenjin poured sake, and Ah Bao was happy to rest for a while to let his stomach digest it.
Drinking wine, Ah Bao looked at the passers-by outside the glass, occasionally when his eyes passed by, whether it was or not, he felt that those were envious eyes, and he thought that the mood of passers-by was the same as when he passed by this shop again and again, so he sighed and said: "It's cool to be rich! You can eat if you want, play when you want, don't envy others, don't fantasize about what things you can't afford to eat." If I'd tasted it before, I wouldn't have thought about it all the time. β
"Food, play, in fact, after trying it, I am not much interested, but I have not tried it and I am curious to reverie. Chen Wenjin thinks so, in the future, his little baby will try all kinds of play and food, and after trying, the child will continue to play more and more, until it is boring and no longer mentioned.
"People are poor, so they don't have the money to try!" Ah Bao sighed very emotionally.
This is true, but you can adjust your delayed gratification state and calmly look forward to it. β
"What's the difference, delayed gratification is not satisfied!" Ah Leopard disagreed.
"Save money, try the same thing. Isn't it enough for you to try this kind of food alone, and the money to drink less than twice? Many of these cravings are not to the point of being extravagant enough to be tasted, and it is perfectly feasible to be willing to delay gratification and realize them one by one. After trying it, there are not many people who can still leave a strong second thought. β
"What kind of satisfaction is that? There's no money to satisfy it!" "What Ah Leopard wants is not like this, what he wants is to eat as much as he wants, like now, with money in his pocket, the whole person is different.
Chen Wenjin will not argue about this issue, it must be different, the typical difference is that the form is adjusted, calmly facing the state of delayed gratification, it will not affect the cognitive outlook in turn, but will be beneficial to the healthy perfection of the world view, after the satisfaction is realized again and again, people will become more and more calm and calm, and desire and dissatisfaction will interfere with or even change people's cognitive outlook, after each short period of satisfaction, people will become more anxious and difficult to calm down and slow down.
It's just that not everyone cares about this difference.
Ah Bao obviously didn't care, but looking at the people outside, he felt that there was room in his stomach again, so he took a deep breath and continued to sweep the little food left, and when he was eating, he suddenly looked at Chen Wenjin and said very seriously: "Gold, I really appreciate you! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today." I dreamed that I would be able to turn over the salted fish in the future, and I was looking forward to turning over one day, but I didn't see any hope, you made me turn over, and I don't have to be a salted fish anymore!"
"Suddenly so polite, not very accustomed to it, the heart received. Chen Wenjin just poured the wine, and at the same time, wondered if it was necessary for him to continue with the original plan.
He is not the same teenager as he was at the beginning, and there is no need to test human nature, because the answer is established. There will inevitably be individual cases, but individual cases are not enough to overturn the whole.
Since you live again, you should always find out if the leopard in the juvenile stage is as you remember...... There are many more attempts in the future, and maybe I will have to go back to the present, or even go back to a longer time ago to live again and again, when these things may not happen, but I just remember it. To have such power and not to pursue any great achievements, of course, you have to make sure of all the unknowns...... Chen Wenjin has a lot of clues, or decides to continue to carry it out.
Originally, Chen Wen was scheduled to be three days later, but the next day, Ah Bao called him and said, "Come down and look at my new car!"
"Didn't you just get the money?" Chen Wenjin was surprised.
