Chapter 1: Money and Dreams
Wucun, a small village located in the middle of China, there are more than 30 families living in the village, in the 80s in China, the economy is very backward, and the land is poor.
The five villages are no exception, poor, backward, and shallow, although they are not doing well, but the people in the village are very simple.
Xiao Fan was born in this village, dated in the nineties, and had an older sister on it, according to the third aunt, there was originally an eldest sister, and her parents couldn't afford to raise it, so they gave it away.
In fact, there is another thing that he didn't tell him, and that is that he also has a twin brother who was also given away.
Life in the countryside is already poor, the income is pitifully low, and it is already very difficult to raise two children, and raising too much will drag down the whole family.
On weekdays, everyone likes to call him: Xiaofan
When Xiao Fan was a child, he was also a bit of a bear child, and his father had no choice but to drag the bear child to the dung pit of the pig house:
If you don't obey again, I'll throw you in!
After some struggle and crying, he finally stopped being a bear, and this incident ended up being a joke among his relatives.
Living in the countryside doesn't cost much money, but when you go to school, it's different.
When I was in kindergarten, my consciousness was not very high, and I didn't pay much attention to it when I saw that others had money to buy something to eat, and there were few rich children.
When I was in the first grade, it was a similar situation, except for a joke at the time:
The whole class is in the countryside, wild - is the common nature of all children, people in that era are very conservative, and there is even a saying among children: male babies play with female babies, and there is a tail on the back.
There are a lot of wild children in the class.,There's everything.,I don't know how.,The friends are playing in the small playground.,Suddenly there's a girl who takes off her pants to shame the boy.
Male classmates naturally won't show weakness, and they still take off their pants to shame girls, and Xiao Fan did the same thing.
When the teacher found out about this, he was very angry, so the whole class was demoted, and they all had to study another first grade, and the matter ended like this.
Reading is so ridiculous, and so is returning to the village.
In the life of rural children, those few things are inseparable, planting vegetables, threshing grain, cutting pigweed, everything revolves around life, and Xiao Fan is also an ordinary member of it.
Once in the vegetable field to cut pigweed, with a girl in the village not far away play, I don't know what she thinks, but to borrow Xiaofan's sickle, maybe because of the play, and then refused to return to him.
So Xiao Fan went to grab the sickle, how to say this, the sickle was not snatched back, and he cut his finger, and when he saw blood, he asked for the sickle back.
Ay... What a shame! From then on, Xiao Fan was thinking about this girl, and when he grew up, he knew that this was called: secret love.
######··············
In a lifetime, everyone's childhood should be happy in retrospect, because that time was the most childlike and ignorant age.
With the country's economic recovery, young people in rural areas have gone out to work, and then they have money, and some families have already used color TVs.
Xiao Fan's mother also went out to work, but she didn't have any skills, so she did needlework in a toy company, and she made little money.
My father didn't go to work, he farmed at home, and took his sister and him with him.
At the same time, my father was also very frugal, reluctant to use money, and the family only had a small black and white TV set, barely able to receive two TV stations.
At that time, there was a TV series that was very popular, and it was imported from abroad, and everyone called him Ultraman to fight monsters.
Xiaofan likes to watch this Ultraman very much, as long as it starts, he must wait to watch it, and if he doesn't see an episode, he will be annoyed for a few days.
But Xiao Fan's TV couldn't receive this program, so he had no choice but to go to someone else's house to watch it.
Then another domestic TV series was born, called the Legend of the New White Lady, the white snake in it is so beautiful, at that time, looking at this Xu Xian, she was not handsome at all, not worthy of her, and she was very sissy, and she didn't look like a gentleman at first glance.
I can't stand my liking for the White Lady, and I also chase dramas every day, and when I grow up, I know that it is not a man who plays Xu Xian at all, but a real woman, so I am ashamed.
Xiao Fan's grandfather raised four sons, and the old family was the most promising, because he was the richest, and he was also the first to use color TV and closed-circuit television.
In the future, you don't need to go to other people's houses to watch TV, you just need to go to the old house next door.
Xiao Fan is envious of color TVs and closed-circuit television, it is good to have money, you can buy any good things, and if you don't have money, you can only use some old goods, so I became interested in money.
Not long after, another domestic mythological drama became popular, Journey to the West, and the day of chasing dramas came.
Watching the four brothers of master and apprentice go to learn scriptures, fight monsters along the way, PK Boss, and then enjoy all the blessings in the world, Xiao Fan hates Tang Seng the most, grinding and chirping;
's favorite actor is naturally Sun Wukong, but I don't know that the person who plays Sun Monkey is named Liu Xiaolingtong, because this name is quite strange, and I don't regard him as a name at all;
And the favorite female goblin is the peacock spirit, because it looks impressive, but it's a pity that she only has one episode in Journey to the West, and she hasn't seen her again after being cleaned up.
Time goes by, my sister is in junior high school, and my father almost never gives pocket money, only to buy pens and notebooks will give a little money, if you want to buy extra books, it will be difficult.
I remember one time, my sister cried with cramps in her fingers in order to buy a book, but she didn't get the money, and in the end, it didn't work, this incident was deeply remembered in Xiao Fan's impression.
Is it so difficult for a child to ask for a little money to spend?
As he grew older, Xiaofan's awareness of money became more and more profound.
However, Xiao Fan also has no extra pocket money, every time he sees other children can go to the commissary to buy food, he can only watch, not to mention how uncomfortable it is in his heart.
Why can others have money to use, but I can't, spicy kelp shreds, spicy lotus root slices, and long spicy strips are all so tempting.
My sister didn't study anymore when she was in her first year of high school, but chose to go out to work, she was still very good to Xiao Fan, and occasionally wrote a letter home, and she would put a 5 yuan bill in the envelope.
When he received the letter, it was when Xiao Fan was the happiest, he could finally have a little pocket money, and at the same time, he was thinking about how much money he could earn when he went out to work.
I kept thinking about it like this, and I finished elementary school in a daze.
When Xiao Fan was in junior high school, he also didn't have a penny of pocket money, and his father looked at money more than anything else.
People who go out to work earn a lot of money, so other middle school students have more pocket money and often patronize small shops.
Whenever other classmates buy drinks to drink and ice cream to eat, Xiao Fan can only silently think: If he makes money in the future, he can also afford to eat and drink.
When he was studying, there was no way to make money, and one of them was okay, that is, picking up garbage, Xiao Fan's desire to make money drove him.
Whenever he is on vacation, he wanders to some places where construction waste is dumped, and he often visits the development area, because the foundation of the development area needs to be filled.
And after the construction waste is dumped in these places, no one cares, there are a lot of scrap copper and scrap iron such as iron wires and wires, which just become Xiao Fan's source of pocket money, although it is not much, accumulate some, and there will always be three or four yuan after selling.
The grades in junior high school were relatively okay, but they were only relative, and on the day of graduation, the head teacher called him to the office.
said that he was going to travel with other teachers, and asked him to sponsor a little travel expenses, as much as he wanted, so Xiao Fan gave all the 29 yuan on his body to the head teacher.
Is money really so important to people?
It's very important, you can't do anything without money.
Xiao Fan's dream was at a very young age, that is, to be a doctor and make a lot of money, at that time, studying was to find a good job, the higher the degree, the higher the salary of the job he found, in his eyes, the doctor's salary is the highest, and the dream is naturally to be a doctor.
There is always a gap between reality and dreams, when Xiao Fan was in high school, he had a serious illness, and his academic performance fell down until he graduated, and he went to the bottom of the class.
Fortunately, with the change of time, it is already very easy to go to a university, there are any kind of universities, after a professional fool, Xiao Fan felt that this university was good, and he volunteered to fill it.
Sure enough, Xiao Fan was admitted to a junior college.
######···········
Time is like a bullet flying in space, and when you look back, the distance that has been traveled is so far away.
During his college years, Xiao Fan encountered some unforgettable things in his life, such as when he entered the train station, he was successfully sold a 50 yuan second-hand smartphone model by a mobile phone seller at the train station;
In the past few years of college life, Xiao Fan has realized the importance of money, and people will do everything for money, which really opened his eyes.
After graduating from university, Xiao Fan entered the society with a dream.
When I was passing by the road once, I happened to see an uncle pulling a handcart uphill with a car full of steel bars, and seeing that he was very struggling, Xiao Fan went up to help the uncle push the cart. Xiao Fan was kind, and the uncle also thanked him repeatedly.
But when the board car passed by a car parked on the side of the road, the wire on the board car suddenly cut the shell near the front wheel of the car, and at this time Xiao Fan was still talking and chatting with the uncle, and the owner immediately got out of the car and stopped the uncle and asked for 300 yuan.
Xiao Fan and Uncle were also blinded, pulling this car, the income was less than 200 yuan, and if you touched it, it would cost 300, which is simply life-threatening.
To put it mildly, the owner of the car asked for at least 100 yuan, and Xiao Fan just promised to pay 100 yuan to the owner of the car.
The uncle disagreed, poured a bunch of bitter water, maybe it moved the owner of the car, and he didn't want to compensate, and the owner quickly drove the car away.
Xiao Fan didn't know what was going on, it turned out that Uncle Banche was an old Jianghu, and told Xiao Fan:
A rich man doesn't care about twenty or thirty yuan, and if you talk to him, he thinks it's a waste of time.
So the uncle has always been willing to take out twenty or thirty yuan, saying that he would compensate himself, and would not let Xiao Fan compensate, so the owner didn't want to waste time like this, so he didn't want to do it.
After experiencing this, Xiao Fan understood some things, and he was still too tender.
The poor people spend money as their life, and money is their life, and they cherish it with money, while the rich people use money as paper, and throw it away without feeling distressed.
There is also a reason why ordinary people earn a little money, and they have to pay countless labor to get that small return.
People with brains, doing business, making investments, and doing all kinds of money-making projects, can get a lot of returns with just a little brainpower.
The gap cannot be calculated.
Xiao Fan's desire to make money is already so eager, and he can't wait to make a lot of money immediately.
But my childhood dream is no longer possible, and another path is in front of me, that is, to accumulate a sum of money, and then start a business and become my own boss.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan embarked on the road of entrepreneurship with a fiery heart.
