Chapter 9: Money and Love (3)
Ah Le's days also returned to calm and plain. Calm and dull days are life.
Life always passes in peace and plainness. Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. The rich have a good life, and the poor have a better life.
The clearest sign of life is the New Year's holiday. The New Year means that a year has passed. When the festival is over, it means that it is time to have a small section on life.
The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan, and the countrymen like to come to the small town to sell zongzi the most; Ah Le bought the zongzi and went home, and when he ate it with his son, he also remembered Yu Yan -- Yu Yan, can you still eat the red dates and zongzi from your hometown? It is the kind of sweet and sour zongzi we ate together last year.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ah Le bought cakes and went back. When Xiaole was eating moon cakes, he remembered to ask Ah Le to tell him the story of Chang'e in the moon. Ah Le remembered Yu Yan as he spoke...... Yu Yan, aren't you a modern Chang'e?
It's almost the New Year...... Ah Le and his son began to prepare for the New Year. Every year goes by, and every year passes, and there are no new tricks. The happiest thing for children is to be able to play freely for a few days during the Chinese New Year.
What children are most looking forward to is that they will receive new clothes and small gifts that adults have bought for them during the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese New Year is not only for children. Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese New Year. This is the biggest festival for the Chinese.
There is no special program for the Spring Festival in the small town, and the main activities on the street are mass cultural performances, and more people who have been busy for a year gather at home with relatives and friends to play small mahjong and eat spicy hot.
It's delicious in a small town, and it's good to play in Chongqing. People in small towns are very good at enjoying, although the salary level in small towns is not high, but the consumption level of people in small towns is not low. The people of the small town pay attention to one word - eating. Therefore, the Spring Festival in a small town is actually a food festival.
Ah Le also indulged himself once during the Spring Festival - invited good friends to party at home for three days and three nights, and played mahjong without sleep. In the end, everyone agreed that in the new year, they would never play mahjong again.
New year, new atmosphere. Ah Le sent his child to preschool to study, only to realize that it still costs a lot of money for his child to study. He perked himself up and continued to run a barbecue stand, trying to earn enough money to pay for his children's schooling.
Ah Le's original unit is carrying out a resumption of sexual production, calling on 40-year-old female comrades and 50-year-old male comrades to return to work. In order to have a pension guarantee in old age, Ah Le's master and sisters have withdrawn from the barbecue stall and returned to the workshop to go to work -- although the symbolic salary is only 320 yuan, the long-term eight-hour work has made people who have stayed in the factory for most of their lives, abide by the commuting system, and live a regular life feel a sense of belonging and security! Ah Le does not belong to the 40 (female) and 50 (male) personnel, and is not qualified to return to the factory, so he has to continue to be laid off, continue to be self-employed, and continue to engage in his green barbecue by the river.
There are dozens fewer barbecue stalls by the river, but there are more and more people in the small town who like to eat barbecue. The barbecue market has changed from a buyer's market to a seller's market.
Market demand determines the scale of production, and Ale has to expand and reproduce. Although there are obvious profit margins in the barbecue industry, the risk of investment is small, and the rate of return is high, but the big boss is interested in making big money, doing big things, and making a fortune. Ah Le's barbecue is in short supply, profits are thin, and there is still a certain distance to complete the original accumulation of capital - to open a barbecue limited liability company.
Money has become a key factor affecting career development.
Who can invest in me? Who believes in my strength? Who can afford the dreams and career of a laid-off worker?
Ah Le really regrets it now, between money and love, why did he choose love and give up money, money is not omnipotent, love is not omnipotent, without love, you can still have marriage, but without money, it is difficult to move an inch...... Can you have both money and love?
Yu Yan, my Yu Yan, what do you say I should do?
