Chapter 9: My Family Affairs
This chapter is an extra. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that is, if you are short on time, you can skip reading this chapter.
You may ask: If the college entrance examination is such a big thing, if you say that if you don't take the test, your parents won't care about you? Oh! They are 108,000 miles away from me, one in Europe and the other in the Americas, and they can't say three words when they meet, and they can't manage it if they want to! And their own business has not yet been sorted out. Since my mother launched a divorce battle two years ago, there has been no result yet. The last time we met, they let go of their harsh words and divorced when I went to college. This time, I'm afraid their plans will fall through.
But there's one more person who can control me, my brother. He was seven years older than me (in fact, he was only twenty-five) and was helping his parents manage the company's business in China. After my parents learned of my decision to give up the gaokao, my brother did one thing: he sent a car to pull me into his office and read me a document signed by my parents who were my rivals. It said that the company had reserved a position for me as a director, but I would not be able to take office until I graduated from university. Also, from the age of nineteen, they will stop providing for my living expenses unless I go to school.
Coercion and galita. That's too much, isn't it? For a moment I wondered if I was their own.
When the elder brother read this document, he tried to pretend to be serious. But to be honest, he really didn't pretend to be like that. "Mom and Dad were surprised to hear your decision," he said. For so many years, they have the impression that you have always been a very obedient child. But they say that since it's up to you to decide, you must have thought about your future path. If you don't go to school, you have to have a job of your own. That half-year buffer period was sufficient. Of course, if you decide to continue your studies at any time, your parents will naturally provide for you. ”
At that time, the eldest sister (actually my sister-in-law, from the time she stepped into my house to the time she got married, I was already used to calling her like this, and it was difficult to change her mouth for a while) sat next to me, wearing a semi-sheer shirt and short skirt, and looking at me with sewn eyes. "Little brother, I'm really short of money, I can ask my sister for it. We won't let you go hungry. ”
Because the big brother needs to run around the country. When he was not at home, my eldest sister became my de facto guardian, including providing for my living expenses and even attending my parent-teacher conferences. I don't hate her, but I can't say how much I like her. I couldn't stand the smile that always appeared in the corners of her eyes, and the gentle voice that was full of magnetism. I believe that the gentleness of a beautiful woman is basically superficial. Especially after I happened to bump into her scolding her brother on the head and covering his face, I firmly believe this even more.
But the most unbearable thing for me is that she often treats me like nothing. Although the eldest brother is also a talent, if he stands with the eldest sister, he still looks overshadowed. Compared with my burly brother, I am more slender, so it is naturally more difficult for me to get into her eyes. I can't remember if I studied dance, was an athlete, or both. Anyway, apart from the pool and the beach, in other places, it always seems that you wear less than others, especially at home. When she first came to my house, I was only fourteen years old. She apparently only thought of me as a kid in her boyfriend's family, and always did. Before my brother moved out, she even wore sheer pajamas in and out of my room. Later, when I went to their house, the situation did not change, and she often entertained me in very revealing domestic clothes, without knowing how to hide it.
The previous winter, I went to her house to collect my living expenses. When she opened the door for me, she was wearing only a half-sleeved dark tight body suit, revealing her sexy legs.
She said hello to me, "Take off your coat and sit down for a while!" Then he went back to the mat in the middle of the living room to do mat exercises.
Because the cold on my body did not subside, I did not take off my coat or sit on the sofa. Instead, he leaned against the door frame and looked at the eldest sister on the mat.
"Little brother, come over and help my sister press down her legs!" She turned to me.
I was a hundred unwilling. If there is another girl in front of me (such as my girlfriend Xiaolian), or even my mother, or if she is really my sister, I will not refuse. But this woman is my sister-in-law.
"My hands are cold!" I say.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold."
"But eldest sister, I'm also a man!"
This sound obviously startled the eldest sister, who sat on the mat with her hands on the ground and her legs crossed, stared at me blankly for twenty seconds, then lowered her head and folded her legs, and slowly got up. Her face was a little red, but she still tried to maintain her demeanor, "Isn't it, they're taller than my sister!" She came up to me and said, "Come, give me the coat." ”
She took my coat off and hung it on a hanger. "Sit down for a while, sister." By the time she came out of the back room, she had been wrapped from head to toe in a dressing gown. She gave me the money, "Little brother, can you leave after dinner?" ”
"No, sister." I know she'll only order takeout. When it comes to cooking, I'm afraid it's not as good as me.
"Next time, you come to the company to withdraw the money!" She said, in an unhappy tone.
While I was thinking about it, my eldest brother continued: "Of course, this is not a problem, but my parents have said in advance, unless you graduate from college, the company cannot arrange your job." We can't decide on our own. ”
"Please tell Mom and Dad." I said, "The reason I didn't go to college was because I wasn't mentally ready to have a full family anymore." They used to say that they would divorce when I got into college. ”
The eldest brother smiled, "So that's because of this, my stupid brother." If they have to get a divorce, it doesn't have to be until you get into college. If they don't want to get divorced yet, they won't divorce just because you're in college. Why are you so stupid! ”
Actually, this reason is my nonsense. The effect is surprisingly good. I continued, "As for the cost of living, you don't have to worry about it. I now have the ability to earn money to support myself. ”
"You're not talking about online game boosting, are you? That's a meal of youth! He looked at the eldest sister on the side, "It's like your eldest sister's previous major." The eldest sister replied angrily: "I hate it." ”
I thought to myself, when it comes to eating youth rice, in fact, except for officials, professors, and big bosses, who doesn't eat youth rice? From wage earners, waiters to network programming, and now even writers have become young professions. As for online games, it's really hard to say. Uncle Li at the door of the building next door is seventy-eight years old, and few young people can play with him online.
"It's not an online game, I don't do that anymore." I said, "I made some foreign exchange investments and made a little money." "I didn't make it up. I did make some foreign exchange investments and did make some small money.
When my brother heard this, he became interested, "I really don't see that you still have this ability, brother." Tell my brother about it. ”
I didn't want to talk about it, but I forced him to do it. Last year, a university teacher surnamed Chen hung up a post on the Internet. Ask someone to compile a few calculations for him. I took it as soon as I was happy.
Can I still program? I don't see it. I don't just play online games! And don't think that you have to be a college student to program a computer program. That stuff wasn't that hard. And in addition to programming, I know a little bit about 3D models and animation design, and I have earned a little money. Of course, my family didn't know about that. I'm ashamed that I never gave back to them, and I spent it on games and computer upgrades.
Originally, Mr. Chen promised a heavy reward in the post. But after I sent him the program, he never mentioned it again. Don't you think I'm a middle school student? But I didn't pay much attention to it. On the one hand, I just wanted to test my programming skills, and on the other hand, I didn't have a lot of ideas about money since I was a child.
But that Mr. Chen is a little bit inch-deep. This time I was sent a bunch of source programs, as well as calculation rules. Let me help him modify the software. Mr. Chen told me that this is an automatic procedure for foreign exchange trading, operating according to pre-set rules. He said that if the program was correct, he should make money, but in practice he always lost money. He didn't know what the problem was.
I went to consult with a senior who was engaged in programming. He said: "Speculating in stocks, futures, and foreign exchange is actually legal gambling. Can you rely on a piece of software to guarantee that you win? ”
When I passed this on to Mr. Chen. But he didn't think so. "These things are all regular. Most people fail to invest because it is difficult for people to follow the rules strictly. ”
I changed the program for a month, and even my online gaming time was crowded out (I have to make sure to finish my homework first). But there's still something wrong with the program.
At this time, Mr. Chen sent me a message, "Qinglin (the screen name I used when I contacted him) netizen, I think your thinking is right, and if you work harder, you will definitely succeed." But I'm going abroad next month, so I can't talk to you anymore. ”
"I've lost almost all the money I used to buy and sell foreign exchange. Now I'll transfer the rest of the money to you, and I'll get paid for the original programming you used to program for me! ”
I didn't take it seriously at first. Go ahead and look for issues in the program. But when I checked the account where Mr. Chen transferred the money to me, I was taken aback. There were 5,000 dollars in it. That's not a small amount, is it?
But my family is doing a big business (although I'm a white eater), and this little money really doesn't impress me. Anyway, it's easy to come, so let's continue to test the program. Unexpectedly, the second day after the new program was used, it generated revenue. After a year of operation, it has reached more than $10,000 now.
I said to my eldest brother, "It's just that I made some money a while ago, and I can't guarantee that I will make it later." So I don't want to go into details just yet. ”
"Okay, whatever you want. If you do have the talent for this, I think in the future, even if you don't have a college degree, your dad will agree to let you be a director. ”
On the way back, my heart was quite unsettled. I took out my phone and inadvertently flipped through the photos stored inside. It was a photo of me with Xiaolian two years ago, and I haven't deleted it. Whenever a buddy peeks at my phone and taunts me with this picture. I always answer them, I'm looking for a successor.
She must still be sitting in the classroom and sprinting towards the school of her dreams!
I came home that day – not my parents' house, but a property they had purchased near the high school so I could study with peace of mind. Usually I'm the only one who lives. If they knew what I was doing in this room, they would be angry.
