Chapter 43: Life Is Like This

Nini sat on the bed and pulled her little feet, enjoying the cool breeze comfortably, Chen Kexin was busy with the odd job of stringing beads, and the fan blew the two of them, blowing away the stuffiness that swept the two of them and the sweat stains that overflowed on their bodies.

After dinner, Berlin was ready to go to the evening shift.

He was in a good mood at this time. However, it was not because of the topic that came to an abrupt end when communicating with Chen Kexin when he mentioned Le Yao, but because he had an income and could start to change his family's life, he felt the heartfelt joy in his heart.

If it weren't for Chen Kexin's illness to save money, Berlin actually had a lot of ideas.

He wanted to change his house and live in a less remote place. There are street lights, there is a commercial street, and there is a supermarket downstairs... If possible, it would be nice to have an air conditioner in the house, a bright fluorescent lamp, and an additional living room and kitchen. In this way, Chen Kexin no longer has to be afraid of making noise until the two of them sleep in the dark to make breakfast. And to drive away the sweltering heat of summer, why do you need a fan? Just close the windows and turn on the air conditioner, and even that damn mosquito will disappear...

Berlin is a beautiful fantasy.

He knew it could be done.

The premise is that Chen Kexin will have surgery before saving 100,000 yuan...

When I went to the hospital to buy medicine this month, Berlin secretly communicated with the doctor without Chen Kexin. Although he did not say that he would ask for immediate surgery, the doctor said with a warning that the operation should be done as quickly as possible, if it is late, the success rate of the operation will be reduced, and as time goes by, Chen Kexin will become more and more dangerous. It's better not to drag it out this year...

"This year I saved 100,000 ... How is this possible..."

Thinking of this, Berlin felt a little powerless.

In the annoyance, Ben in Berlin was in a bad mood under the cool night breeze...

"Forget it, let's go to work first, I don't want to."

He sighed softly.

...

The work is going on as usual, and no one has mentioned the candy return that was still hotly discussed ten days ago, and the hot discussion in the past few days is that the factory has found a big star to endorse the advertisement, a machine explosion occurred in a workshop in the factory, and a leader in the factory has leukemia and mobilizes employees to donate.

This incident was originally quite a big trouble, whether it was Berlin or many other employees, the living conditions were very ordinary, but the factory actually asked everyone to donate at least 50 yuan, which caused many people to be dissatisfied and resisted. In the end, the manager of the factory was afraid that the matter would be too big, so he canceled this requirement, saying that everyone wanted to donate as much as they wanted, and try to contribute a heart, and the factory did not force it, and Berlin donated five yuan.

He remembered the director's slightly disdainful look at him when he received the money the other day, and Berlin didn't care, he didn't even want to donate, and he wouldn't have been reluctant to donate unless the director had hinted that everyone had to donate.

People drive small cars and live in big houses, why don't they sell their cars and houses, and ask him to pay for treatment? His wife Chen Kexin also needs surgery, will the factory be willing to help hold a fundraiser?

In the next two months, Berlin found that there was a slight change in his heart, as if he was developing towards a certain kind of person...

He didn't understand what the change was, and he didn't want to delve into it.

In any case, he thinks that he is thinking about life and family. He never thinks he's doing anything wrong, he just knows what to do right.

As for the batch of candies in the factory, Berlin has consulted them.

The candy was barely sold.

It's not that candy is unpopular, on the contrary, children and young people alike like it. But the workers in the factory who are accustomed to eating candy, and even disgusted by the sweet smell of candy, will definitely not buy it, and the factory whose main industry is production and wholesale is naturally the business of the store is bleak, let alone how much it can help sell.

So much so that this batch of goods was put away in more than a week.

According to Berlin's understanding, the factory lost tens of thousands of dollars in this batch of goods. Due to various reasons, no one wants to take over this product, and the factory has begun to think about remaking it. Although a lot of manpower and material resources have been wasted, at least the most expensive materials are still there.

During this period, Berlin went to the workshop director and said that there was a way to sell the candy. In exchange, the workshop director sneered, he had a few words to help, it was better to think about how to improve work efficiency. What do you sell this for? If you don't know how to do it, don't talk nonsense. Just kicked Berlin out of the office.

"If I buy this batch of goods myself at a low price and sell them, will I make a lot of money?"

Berlin has spawned this idea.

But the idea was short-lived, and Berlin immediately gave up.

How can he have that money?

Even if the factory is willing to sell it at a low price, to say the least, it is tens of thousands, does he have tens of thousands? There are only a few thousand at home!

It's just that Berlin is still a little unwilling.

He thinks that his idea is okay, although it is relatively unique, but the success rate must not be low... If you can sell it for money by relying on these, won't Chen Kexin's surgery fee be there?

The workshop is still the roar of the machines.

Berlin was tired of eating the overly sweet candy, so he touched a few candies with a different flavor than the previous day and put them in his pocket.

This is for my daughter Nini tomorrow.

In the past ten days, it has become a habit.

In fact, when I took it for a few days, Berlin was a little weak-hearted, after all, a few cents a piece, and more is not a small amount. However, after the squad leader's sentence that the materials were actually very cheap, everyone was eating, and if it was okay, he was relieved.

...

After work, get off work, go home, eat breakfast, and fall asleep, as if replicating yesterday's life, Berlin can't help but think of Fang Yuan's words of light life.

After being refuted by Fang Yuan, Berlin was actually a little puzzled. Has he thought about it carefully, don't most people in the world stay up like this and stay up every boring day?

Aren't other people in the factory living like him?

Compared to him, Fang Yuan's life is delicious.

How nice is it to have a decent job, a stable income, and to be able to walk around easily, eat barbecue, and drink a little wine after work every day?

It's not just Fang Yuan, Berlin found a point, many people are complaining about their lives, complaining about what is not good and what is not good, and he has listened to the sad version of several people in the workshop.

But in reality?

Berlin found that those people were happy.

The family is healthy, the parents are alive, and the children are doing well in school. It's just some trivial daily life, some expenses of dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, or trivial things, which are compassionate gestures, affirming the tone that life can't go on. Isn't that ridiculous? He lives in an old bungalow at home, his wife asks for money for surgery, his daughter has to study, study and miscellaneous fees, etc., and it costs some money, he doesn't complain, he insists on it, doesn't he?

...

Fall asleep, get up, carry, and get off work.

The day is fleeting.

After work, Berlin didn't go home directly, he walked to the clothing store where Le Yao worked and waited.

At 6 o'clock, Le Yao got off work.

I have been to the clothing store a few times, passed by Le Yao's house a few times, and found out in Berlin, Le Yao got off work at 6 o'clock, and after 6:30, the lights in her house were turned on. The end time of 8 o'clock was really changed to 6 o'clock by Store Manager Chen.

He saw that at the door, Store Manager Chen called out to Le Yao, handed him a bag of items that he didn't know what to contain, chatted a few words, and walked back to the store with a smile. Le Yao stood at the door for a long time with the bag in her hand, and finally turned around to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Berlin not far away.

She was stunned, then frowned slightly, and walked over to Berlin.

"It's time to get off work, are you going back?" Berlin asked.

With Chen Kexin's permission, Berlin no longer has the feeling of being empty when they meet. He came today to talk to Le Yao about what Chen Kexin allowed him to do.

He agreed with Chen Kexin's words.

Even if he is not a woman in Berlin, he knows how inconvenient it is for Le Yao to live alone.

"What are you doing here?"

Le Yao looked at Berlin quietly.

After hesitating, Berlin felt that this lively street was not the place to speak, and said, "Shall I send you back first?" ”
