"Actually, I don't really understand why you suddenly resigned and came back after doing a good job in Beijing. ”

In the living room, Yu Pengcheng picked up the tea He Yuan had just brewed, blew off the tea leaves on it, and took a sip.

"Of the six brothers in our dormitory, you ran the farthest, out of the province, and went to Beijing.

At that time, we all thought that you wouldn't stay long and you would come back, and you ended up staying for five years. ”

Yu Pengcheng said, putting down the teacup.

"In five years, you changed six companies, and the longest stayed for thirteen months.

Originally, I thought that if you jump so often, your resume will already stink, but I didn't expect you to jump higher and higher.

Look at the things posted by your circle of friends, either to participate in any BAT press conference, or to various trainings of radio and television.

Or go to the university at 958,211 to open a training course. Not only lecturing, but also being a teacher, the boss is tall. ”

"In our dormitory, five students learn programs, but the result is that you are one who learns foreign-related tourism, and you are thriving in the Internet industry.

As a result, you told me at this time that you quit your job, returned to your hometown, and bought such an old house with all your savings. ”

Yu Pengcheng covered his chest, "Second brother, tell me honestly, is something wrong with you."

"What's the matter, I'm just tired and want to take a break. He Yuan took a sip of tea and said.

"You want to rest, I don't object, but you've done it all in Beijing, isn't it a pity to give up like this?"

"Lao Yu, what do you say we are working hard for? ”

"Nonsense, isn't it just to earn those two pennies. "Yu Pengcheng didn't have a good airway.

"What is it for. He Yuan continued to ask.

"Buying a house, buying a car, supporting the elderly, and sending the children to school. Yu Pengcheng snapped his fingers and began to count.

"Look, you're married, you've bought a house, you have a car, and you're about to have a baby, isn't it perfect?"

"Fart, I have to pay off the mortgage and car loan every month, and I am 10,000 yuan a month. And we don't have children yet, and if we do, it will be a lot of money. Yu Pengcheng shook his head.

"You bought your suite early, and now it has risen two or three times, and you have earned more than one million. ”

"My set is small, only more than 70 square meters, I am planning to change to a big one, and the old man will come over in the future to take care of the children, and the room is not enough. Yu Pengcheng said.

"You see, how much money do you think I have a year. He Yuan pointed to himself.

"You?" Yu Pengcheng looked at He Yuan for a while, and muttered, "More than 200,000?"

"If you get it after tax, it's about that. He Yuan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "How high do you think the housing prices in Beijing are?"

"How tall?"

"The average price is more than 60,000 yuan, do you think I can buy a house in Beijing if I don't eat or drink. He Yuandao.

“...... You can go back to Chengdu and buy it. ”

"How much is the housing price in Chengdu now?"

"Now...... Two, thirty thousand?"

"You see, the suite you bought in 16 years was originally more than 8,000 square meters, and now there are more than 20,000 second-hand houses.

The real estate next to you, in February 17, was more than 7,000 square meters, and I took a look at it this year, and the listing price was 22,000.

Tripling in a year, I don't eat or drink to save my salary, and I can't keep up with the rate of house price increases. ”

"This ...... Second, you are still young, and there is still room for improvement in the future. Yu Pengcheng didn't know what to say.

"The room for growth, from 200,000 yuan per year, to 500,000 yuan, or to 1 million?" He Yuan shook his head.

"Any industry is a pyramid. The higher I go, the more difficult it is to go, I went from an annual salary of 20,000 yuan to an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, it took me five years, and then to an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, how much time will it take, and how many positions can there be in the entire industry?"

Yu Pengcheng stopped talking.

"You see, I don't eat or drink, it takes three years to make a down payment in Chengdu, and if housing prices continue to rise, it may take five or even ten years.

When I get married, I have to change to a big house, and after I have children, I have to consider the child's milk powder money, whether to use domestic or imported, which kindergarten to go to, where to go to primary school, which junior high school to go to, high school after junior high school, and college after high school. ”

"Besides, I work in Beijing and buy a house in Chengdu, but I can't live in it, and if my children go to school in the future, I will have to go back to Chengdu sooner or later. My roots are all in Beijing, and once I go back to Chengdu, I still have to work hard from scratch, go back early and return late, not all the same. ”

"Can be ......," Yu Pengcheng said.

"I read a book before that talked about the logic of 'stop loss'. Meaning, if you do something that doesn't achieve your intended purpose, then you should stop it in time to avoid greater losses.

Since I continue to stay in Beijing and can't meet what I want to do, am I losing money all the time?"

"What do you want to do. Yu Pengcheng asked.

"It's very simple, have a small yard, raise dogs, grow flowers, make a cup of tea in the yard when you have nothing to do, read a book, and bask in the sun. ”

"Like now?" Yu Pengcheng pointed out the door.

"yes, so I'm back. He Yuan glanced at Yu Pengcheng.

Yu Pengcheng's mind was a little confused, and he thought about He Yuan's words repeatedly. He Yuan picked up the teacup and found that the tea was already cold.

Looking at the time, He Yuan got up from his chair: "It's half past five, are you staying for dinner, or going back?"

Yu Pengcheng came back to his senses, opened his mobile phone, looked at it, and said, "Let's eat here, our two brothers haven't seen each other for two months, so let's get together today." ”

"Let me make it clear to you first, I usually don't fire at home, what to eat, don't dislike it. He Yuan said, turned right out of the door, and entered the kitchen.

The kitchen was very simple, a small room of about fifteen square meters, very dark, and in the eye was a large stove with an iron pot on it.

Beneath the stove was a pile of dry firewood, next to it was a water tank, and in addition to that, there was a table and an old cupboard in the room.

When Yu Pengcheng entered the house, He Yuan was lying under the stove to make a fire, he was very slow, and after a long time, the fire still failed to ignite.

"Okay, okay, you go aside, I'll get it here. ”

Yu Pengcheng is a child from a rural family, and he is familiar with this work. He drove He Yuan away, took the lighter, and lit the fire with three times and five divided by two.

He Yuan went to the back room, took out a piece of frozen meat from the old refrigerator, and put it on the cutting board to thaw it. After Yu Pengcheng finished lighting the fire, he walked around the room and said.

"Your kitchen is too simple, you don't even have an electrical appliance, let me see, it's just a rice cooker, such a remote place, what do you usually eat." ”

"I've told you that I don't usually fire. He Yuan finished scooping the rice, put it in the rice cooker and boiled it, then picked two potatoes in the corner of the wall and began to clean them.

Looking at He Yuan's slow appearance, Yu Pengcheng couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, look at your knife work, such a big piece has been cut off by you, it's a waste, you can rest while you go." ”

He Yuan was not annoyed, gave up his position, stood aside, lit a cigarette, took a puff, choked on the smoke, covered his mouth and coughed quietly.

Yu Pengcheng glanced at He Yuan while cutting shredded potatoes: "I'm coughing like this, I'm still smoking, I told you, smoking is not good for your health, what should I do if I have children in the future." ”

"I'm used to it, and besides, I don't have any hobbies other than smoking. He Yuan said, took another puff, and flicked the cigarette ash.

"Let's go, let's get out and smoke, don't stand in my way here. Yu Pengcheng kicked He Yuan out of the kitchen.

He Yuan exited the kitchen, squatted on the threshold in front of the living room, smoked a cigarette, and watched Yu Pengcheng busy at the wooden table through the kitchen.

Suddenly, He Yuan heard a mobile phone ringtone, walked into the living room and took a look, it was Yu Pengcheng's phone.

"Your phone, sister-in-law. He Yuan took the mobile phone into the kitchen and handed it to Yu Pengcheng.

"Hey, Xiaoman, I'm here for the second child. You know, I'll go back in a while, you eat first, don't wait for me. Yu Pengcheng clipped his mobile phone to his ear and coped with it while putting the shredded potatoes on a plate.

The two were talking, but they didn't know what they said, so they heard Yu Pengcheng's voice suddenly raise twice: "Okay, I know about this, I'll tell you, don't quarrel with me, I'm busy here, I'll talk about it when I go back!"

After speaking, he "snapped" and hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" He Yuan poked his head out of the door and asked.

"It's okay, you hurry up and wash the dishes, and see that these things in your house are all dusted!" Yu Pengcheng waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are not at home to accompany your sister-in-law, what are you doing here. He Yuan flicked the cigarette ash outside the house and said.

"What to accompany, they are all old husbands and wives, and they still have to accompany them every day, and they are not tired of being crooked. Yu Pengcheng said.

"Even if you don't accompany your sister-in-law, what about your father-in-law and mother-in-law, who are not afraid of kneeling on the washboard?"

Yu Pengcheng was silent for a moment.

"Okay, go back, you're almost done, I'll fry two dishes myself and solve it when I go back." ”

Yu Pengcheng began to hesitate, he walked around the room for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go first, let's get together again another day when we have time." ”

Yu Pengcheng cut the remaining half of the potato, then pulled down his apron and walked briskly towards the car.

Halfway through, he suddenly turned back.

"If you want anything, just tell us, no matter what, we still have a bunch of brothers here. Yu Pengcheng patted He Yuan's shoulder heavily.

He Yuan waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up.

Yu Pengcheng turned around and returned to the car, inserted the key into the hole, twisted it, and ignited the car.

The lights flickered, and the huge SUV slid up on the concrete floor, slowly out of the alley along the narrow aisle.

Squinting his eyes, watching Yu Pengcheng leave, and when he couldn't see the light, He Yuan suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

After coughing for a few minutes, He Yuan squatted on the ground and gasped for breath.

The right hand covering his mouth hung down on his thigh, and there was a puddle of blood on it!
