Chapter 180: The Chest (II)

After complaining for no reason, Yan Caiwu fell into memories again, he sighed lightly, belched out of his stomach, stretched out his hand to pat Chen Ming's shoulder, and said: "Brother Chen Ming, it's not me who is cynical, to be honest, even if I'm really angry, I'm a fart person, and I can't make much waves." I was used to living a poor life, my father died when I was a child, and it was my mother who raised me until high school, and when I was in college, my mother took me to remarry another man. Otherwise, with my family environment, I would not be able to afford my college tuition. Four years of college, in a blink of an eye, it is not anything vigorous, everyone has a way to squander his youth, but I can't. Because I need money, and only money can keep me fed and not hungry. So I had to work hard. ”

As he spoke, Yan Caiwu poured himself another sip, his eyes were a little dazed, he put down the wine bottle, and continued: "In my freshman year, there were many girls in the class who had money and were beautiful. Although I love it, I also know that I am lowly, and I cannot compare with others. But that year, I felt that as long as I won these girls in the final exam, I would be able to beat them in the future, and I could use my hands to fight for my future and live better than her, and then I could muster up the courage and straighten my back to pursue her. Because I think the university is fair, and the university education is fair, because no matter how good her family is, the strengths and weaknesses of Zuihou students are evaluated by grades, and I think it's good. But zuihou I found out that this is not the case, I was too naïve. The first step in graduating from college often plays a crucial role in the family background, that is, from the starting line, a child from a family like me has already lost a lot. She passed the fourth grade, and the family bought an Audi, and even if I passed the eighth grade, it didn't work. In the year she graduated, her family invested in fifteen chain restaurants in her city and handed them over to her to operate. I, on the other hand, am holding my graduation certificate and struggling and pretending to be a grandson. That's when I realized that in the beginning, no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to keep up with her in a few decades, because I was not on the same class as her at all. ”

As he spoke, the gray color in Yan Caiwu's eyes became even deeper, he shook his head and sighed, reached out and patted Chen Ming's shoulder, and said, "So, Brother Chen Ming, it's not that I'm not close to people, brothers, but people like us who have lived a hard life really know the importance of money." So you always complained about your brother before, so don't take it to heart. ”

Chen Ming shook his head, squinted his eyes, and his smile was as calm as water.

Yan Caiwu shook his head and continued: "Don't look at how powerful the TV industry I was engaged in sounded at the beginning. In fact, this is really a layman's opinion, I didn't hide it from my brother before, I really stayed in the TV station, I know very well. After moving the counterweight for half a year, tying up the threads for half a year, and getting a salary of 15100 months in the magic capital, Brother Chen Ming, do you believe it or not? In the TV industry, laymen look at the scenery, and only they know the despair. In the dark, the woman becomes the man's envoy, and the man becomes the animal's envoy, waiting for the day when the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law. I think if I can endure it and stay up in the TV station for thirty or fifty years, I guess I will be able to live a little better after I have survived the calendar. But I still have my mother in the house, and I still hope that my mother can live a good life, at least not worry about his son who is far away. So I quit my job and went to learn the plasterer's trade from a master. ”

Saying that, Yan Caiwu's eyes precipitated a trace of sadness, not easy to detect, but delicately existed in the depths of his eyes, he laughed miserably, and continued: "Finally I came back from my studies, in addition to plasterers, I can also do some painting, tiling, cabinetry, etc., this time, I can finally earn money, and I can make more money by doing odd jobs than I used to sit in the TV station office, and the degree of happiness is not much different, one is mental work, and the other is physical work." ”

"One day, which I still remember very much, I was decorating a restaurant with my master, and suddenly a woman wearing sunglasses got off a sports car that I had never seen before, and then pointed at my master and a few buddies from the renovation team. At the time, I thought the voice was familiar, but I wasn't sure, until the woman took off her sunglasses, and I saw that it was the girl I had always crushed, or had a crush on, in college. She seemed to recognize me, but she stared at me for a long time and hesitated, and she didn't shout, it had been several years since she graduated, and she probably forgot about me as a classmate. Then her boyfriend got out of the sports car I had never seen before and put his arms around her. The look in her eyes at that time, probably out of disgust or some other emotion, never fell on me again. And all day that day, I felt like I was being tormented, in the middle of summer, with my hat low, and I wanted to bury my face in my hat. ”

“…… But that's all in the past. Of course, there are times when I am happy and happy, because I have learned the trade, so my income is much more than before. When I was at the highest, I could get a salary of 800 yuan a day, and at the low time, I was about 500 yuan. I went home with the money that year, Brother Chen Ming, do you know how excited I was when I piled the money on the table?"

As he spoke, Yan Caiwu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Chen Ming's shoulder excitedly, and laughed with a flushed face.
