Chapter 62: I'm such a loser
Reader, in previous chapters, you learned that I am an emotional person. I also want to tell you that I am very emotional, and I can't get it enough.
As mentioned above, I didn't earn as much money as other workers last year, and I was determined to surpass them today. This determination on my part is a very good sign and at the same time commendable.
When the people in the village heard about it, some of them even wanted to mention a family to me. But, readers, you know, when the boss first came this year, he didn't pay us three subsidies for the bundle of cables to see the construction site.
This is tantamount to pouring cold water on my decision. I'm so annoyed, I feel like the three of us were wronged, and the boss shouldn't have done that to us.
Others go home for the New Year, the three of us are alone on the construction site, no merit, there is hard work, even if you lose something, the boss you should more or less out of the pot, give us a little money, but you are so unstoppable.
I really wanted to recover this loss, so I discussed with two other people and gave some gifts to the foreman Wang Baozhong, so that he could help say good things to the boss and give us some subsidies. The two of them agreed.
So, the three of us took out fifteen yuan to buy a Hilton cigarette and a few bottles of good wine, and asked my godfather's brother to take us to Wang Baozhong's house to sit down.
Reader, you know how unlucky I am. The three of us took out the gifts and sat for less than a minute, when the boss Wang Zhixue came to Wang Baozhong's office. All at once he knew about our bribery.
Not only did he not give us a penny of the subsidy, but instead scolded my godfather's younger brother. Ah! I also became Zhou Gongjin once: Zhou Lang had a clever plan to settle the world, but he lost his wife and broke his soldiers.
This incident weighed on my heart like a boulder, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. In addition, Yun Zhi always made a fuss about this matter in front of everyone, which made me unable to raise my head.
He told people that I had never seen a gift-giver, and the boss was there to give gifts, regardless of the occasion. To be honest, hearing these words, I really wanted to have a big fight with him. However, I am a person who values face more than life.
I always think that he is my elder, and he is in the way of Lao Zhan's face. In addition, I didn't have anyone close to me on the construction site at that time, and I had a good friend Yoshihide who was also transferred.
In this situation of being alone and lonely, opposing Yun Zhi is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. After thinking about it, I held back. However, my aggrieved strength cannot be described in words.
When I'm in a bad mood, I don't go to work. I also have a bad problem, that is, I am too lazy to speak. You said you could take a break, but you had to say hello to the class leader.
But I'm not like that, I don't even say hello when I don't go to work. I didn't say hello to people, and I was afraid that people would come to me in the dormitory, so I went out of the hut and found a field where I slept on it.
At first, the foreman was extremely annoyed by this kind of thing, so he asked Yunzhi to react. Yun Zhi told the foreman that I was a loser, and if I didn't succeed, the foreman wouldn't care.
I was giving up on myself when another incident happened, and it shattered my heart that also wanted to be competitive.
One thing I forgot to tell you, reader, is that the money I earned last year was brought home for me by a boy named Draw. While he was helping me carry the money home, I asked him to help me bring a letter to my father.
In the letter, I asked my father to raise two pigs at home. I said I was working in Beijing and they had two more pigs at home. In this way, our family situation will gradually improve.
My parents were illiterate, so I asked someone else to read the letter for me. When the people of the village heard the contents of my letter, they made a very good impression of me, saying that I was a man who could worry.
For this reason, there are people who help me propose marriage. But they only mentioned it to my mother a little, saying that they wanted to see what I did. Do you know what it's like when people are unlucky?
It is often said that drinking cold water will stuff the gap between your teeth, and putting x will smash the heel of your shoes. When the two pigs grew to seventy or eighty pounds, they were infected with the plague and died.
Later, a man from my hometown told me about it, and I almost thought about suicide. Maybe readers want to laugh at me and I can't stand a little blow, but I'll tell you the truth, I can't stand the blow, if you want to laugh, you can laugh.
Since then, I have become even more self-defeating, and taking time off work has become commonplace. So, the people in the village had a very bad impression of me. When Yoshisu heard about it, he came to persuade me from another construction site and talked to me.
I was fine for the first few days, but after a few days I was still my nephew playing lanterns - as usual (uncle).
When the class leader saw me like this, he didn't care about me, I went to work whenever I liked, and I became a free man. Of course, when I'm off work, I also read. But somehow, I couldn't even read the book at that time.
I also write some articles occasionally, but I can't even look at the things I write. My heart was in turmoil, and it was a mess.
Of course, sometimes I think about the future, I think about the way out, and sometimes I want to regain my courage. But it's all just a momentary thought. These thoughts disappear like a meteor in an instant, replaced by laziness and the imagination of eating without work.
I sometimes wonder if I could tell the story of a young man like my father told me! So, what kind of story did my father tell me?
