Chapter 106: I'm in charge of my life
It was as if he saw a crossroads in his life, he was waiting for the traffic light, he was wandering on the sidewalk. It would be nice if there was a light rain to enhance the atmosphere, but unfortunately it is a sunny day, with no traffic lights, no sidewalks, only confused intersections, and fingers from relatives.
Their shiny feathers symbolize a noble status, and how can the humble grass pheasant care if the feathers are perfect, it only cares about not being sent to the slaughter.
"I think that since I have chosen the path of auto repair, I must treat the future of this profession well. No one is born with nothing, there are no wasted people in this world, only lazy people, just unwilling to work hard. Farmer Gao told Achu with a serious face.
The sense of oppression in him was enough to suppress everyone present. What he said was not unreasonable, what he said was the Tao, and it seemed that he was still quite thinking about Achu.
"If you don't work hard, you still want to harvest the fruits? It's just a fantasy joke, and those who work hard are not in vain? Farmer Gao had a mahogany face, "I see that you are not young, just a month older than Ning Ning, you should not even be as good as a girl, right?" ”
"No ......" Achu reluctantly promised to save face.
Farmer Gao continued, "You don't want to gnaw on the old, do you? Do you want to live on your grandfather for the rest of your life? Could it be that when you want him to be half cut into the ground, he still raises you? Spend your mind on studying, and don't spend the whole day thinking about useless things. What else do you think you can do but waste your time? ”
"Alas...... How old are you, don't plan for your future, and want to wait for pie to fall from the sky? Even if it's a pie, you may not be able to eat it. The aunt looked lost.
"I have neither talent nor expertise, I don't know anything, what do I rely on to eat in my debut society, and rely on a pitiful face?"
"We're talking to you, do you hear? Are you in your teens and don't know what your future is important? ”
One of them said a word, whether they were worried or laughing, it sounded like they were worried about his future, but the tone sounded a bit like ridicule.
Achu bowed his head silently, he pursed his lips and endured the embarrassing erosion. He didn't expect that these ruthless and unrighteous people would think about the future for him, could it be that the sun on a sunny day came out of the west? What kind of medicine is sold in their gourd, and what if it is poison? After all, life is just like this, if you hastily hand it over to others to manipulate, you will eventually become a loser, they are just the guide of your life.
Guide? How does it sound weird, will they lead him to the precipice? It's not easy to say this kind of thing, but their hearts are not so dark, after all, they are their own relatives, and they will more or less lend a hand.
It's just that the path they give feels like an ethereal and not easy to touch.
The adults talked to each other about arranging Achu's future, you and me, and unconsciously they talked fiercely. For the first time, Achu saw his relatives shaking the ground for his future, and his heart was quite moved.
But he was still unwilling to leave his future to them, as if he were selling his life.
"Oops, hey, hey." Zhang Ningning suddenly came over, and she patted Ah Chu's shoulder.
"Is there something wrong, college student?" Achu drank water and looked at her, anyway, that guy is about to become a college student, and it's not too late to change his words.
Zhang Ningning said to him, "If you can't find a job in the future, you will live for three or four years in vain, and after surviving those three or four years, when I graduate from college and set up a company, I will invite you to work in my company, with a monthly salary of 5,000 a month, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Ningning was looking forward to Achu's answer, and her eyes were shining with gold. Achu drank water and was thinking, she really deserved to be a little witch, she had already considered the future company before she went to college, her pattern was quite far away, if she had the dream of being an astronaut, then she must have landed on the moon now, right?
Achu thinks about this problem carefully, the other party has brains, strength, background, and money, and it is not a problem to set up a small company.
"I'll thank you first......" Achu re-raised the water glass to Zhang Ningning.
"Okay, that's it. Remember to come to work in my company in the future, we are all a family, and I will not treat you badly. Zhang Ningning patted Ah Chu's shoulder, Ah Chu remembered that she seemed to have rejected the line "We are a family" before, why did she change her face now?
Gao Songbai leaned to Achu's left, and he took Achu's shoulders and said. When he spoke, his tone was full of garlic flavors, and Achu didn't see garlic on the table, could it be that he brought garlic himself? Can you bring your own food and drink in this high-end hotel?
"Do you really want to work for her future company? She can't even take care of a store, and she still wants to open a company? I estimate that her company will have to go out of business less than a week after it went public. Gao Songbai told Achu lightly, his voice was less than ten bays.
"I don't care, it's like this anyway, it's the same wherever I go to work, as long as I make money." Achu took a sip of cold water and rinsed his mouth.
Is Achu's thinking stuck in the old society, where pork is calculated in cents? Hasn't the reform been opened up yet? It has been decades since the reform and opening up, and if anyone in the current society does not work hard, he will be eliminated in minutes, but he has not tasted the taste of being eliminated.
"You can't do that...... How can you stand in society in your state? In today's society, everything is based on material needs, especially weddings, who will marry you if you have no money, and will you suffer for a lifetime? "Takamatsu and cypress have drawn a big circle of society, half of which is a swampy hell.
"Well...... "You don't necessarily need money to get married, you can live a lifetime without money, as long as the two of you love each other, just live happily for a lifetime." ”
Gao Songbai was speechless after hearing this, it seems that Achu's thoughts are still in elementary school, maybe his thoughts have not yet been developed.
"Do you think you're Lao Xu? He gave up the opportunity to live in the United States after the revolution, and stayed in the motherland to build a beautiful homeland. And you? What do you have? You don't have anything, and you still want to live happily with your wife for the rest of your life? You don't have money, who's with you? Gao Songbai poked Achu's heart word by word.
He continued, "Don't you need money for the two to be together in the future? Don't you need money to eat? Don't you need money to buy clothes? Things that children will need in the future, milk powder money, diapers, and even from kindergarten to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college, don't you need money for tuition during this time? If you want to live happily for the rest of your life, don't your wives and children want to live happily for the rest of your life? How can you live happily for the rest of your life without money? What do you take to give them happiness? ”
Being said by Gao Songbai, Achu slowly realized the seriousness of the problem. It can only show that he is still too young to understand the problems of the future.
"Do you know why Liu Xinyan's father is so rich?" Gao Songbai asked him.
"Isn't it just selling land and doing real estate?" Achu scratched his hair in a daze.
"It's true that you're doing real estate, but do you think you can make a million in a month just doing real estate?" Gao Songbai took Achu's shoulders and told him lightly.
"One...... Million? Ah Chu was stunned, usually a hundred yuan is a huge amount of money for him, not to mention a million sky-high figures that he has never seen in his life.
Gao Songbai continued to reveal the grapevine to Achu, "If you can earn one million a month in real estate, Lao Tzu won't even play games, and I will also go to real estate." He didn't steal the money above and was not discovered, otherwise how do you think Liu Xinyan would have the money to go to university abroad? It's not because the family has strong assets. ”
"This ...... It's outrageous, right? I thought these plots would only happen in TV dramas, but I didn't expect ...... Life is full of unexpected discoveries. Achu was a little surprised.
Gao Songbai continued, "The current housing prices will only get higher and higher, and they will never be low. And in the future, it is possible to reach a sky-high figure, based on the monthly salary of the average employed person now, we compare it with the minimum wage of 5,000, if you subtract the cost of food, water and electricity, and do not buy other things every month, you can spend at least 2,000 yuan a month. Housing prices are speculated on an annual basis, and they are getting higher and higher every year. If you plan to save 3,000 yuan a month, you can buy a two-story house in the old city, maybe a year is enough. Rates vary in each area. But if you want to buy a two-story house in the new city, with your 3,000 yuan a month, it is estimated that it will ......."
"Estimate what?" Achu said with a frown.
"It is estimated that it will take you half a lifetime, and now the housing prices in the new city have reached an incredible level." Gao Songbai patted Achu on the shoulder, and he continued, "The house is just the first step, you still have to get married, and you have to spend money on the bride price, buy a car, and these things." You...... Do you really think that with 5,000 yuan, you can live a stable life? Even if you save money every month, the material things in life will only get higher and higher. ”
Gao Songbai sighed helplessly, "The state of the world is like this, people die for money, and birds die for food." If it were so easy for people to make money, it is estimated that even a fritter could be sold for 500,000 yuan. ”
Achu silently bowed his head and swallowed. Gao Songbai's words to him completely refreshed all his views on this society. So he's still too young to understand anything.
"What are you talking about? God mysterious. Zhang Ningning was a little curious.
"It's okay, we're just talking about the TexasLogo. Why are you a nosy girl? Do you want to listen to our boys' chats? Gao Songbai threw a wall to block Zhang Ningning.
"I ...... I'm just curious to ask, if you don't want to say it...... Then forget it, who is rare. Cut, Miss Ben still doesn't want to hear it," Zhang Ningning pouted angrily.
"Achu!" The aunt suddenly called Chu Yunan's name.
Chu Yunan just wanted to ask what was wrong, but the other party immediately snatched his right to speak. It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but what else can he say in this situation.
"If you really want to prepare for your future, listen to what your three uncles have to say." The aunt put her hands together and leaned under her chest.
"If it were my child, I would definitely have a headache...... "At the end, her whispered words, Achu still heard it.
Lawyer Zhang was the first to speak, "I think if he is allowed to be a lawyer, he will not have the ability to speak and defend. If you want to be a lawyer, you must at least familiarize yourself with the basic legal knowledge, otherwise you will definitely be laughed at as soon as you put it on the stage. ”
"Zhang Honghai! Who made you think? It's just for you to mind, not to make you think that he can be a lawyer, can you figure out the situation? The aunt said helplessly.
"Oh oh......" Lawyer Zhang suddenly realized, "Then I don't know, he definitely can't be a lawyer anyway." ”
"Nonsense, this is not the reality, who said he could be a lawyer? I haven't even been to high school, and I still want to soar to the sky? It's just ridiculous and generous. The third aunt's words were like a sharp sword piercing into Achu's little heart.
I was labeled as a "legal pioneer" for no reason, when did I speak? Each of them can go on and on.
"It's up to me to say it." Farmer Gao prepares to speak.
He said, "First of all, Achu can't be a policeman at all, he can't help but be weak, his height is not good, and his physical fitness is really poor." If he can endure hardships and stand hard work, then it's fine, I'm afraid...... He was accustomed to a pampered life. ”
Gao Farmer also seems to have forgotten the core part.
The aunt sighed helplessly, "Farmer...... How can you learn from the Red Sea? Who told you to discuss careers? I'm asking you to arrange Achu's life path and see where he can develop in the future, so that he won't even be able to afford to eat in the future. ”
There was a commotion at the round table, and Achu lowered his head to eat, his future being thrown around by them like a volleyball. It seems that the aunt is really a little worried about Ah Chu's future, and her last sentence completely touched Ah Chu. Maybe their mother has a sisterhood with them whose blood is thicker than water, and this alone makes them good to Achu.
"Of course, we will continue to develop in the field of auto repair." Gao Farmer said.
"How?" The aunt was heartbroken about this, "Do you have a relationship?" Where are you going to throw him to fix the car? ”
Gao Nongfu told his aunt, "I have a friend who works in the Beihai Xifeng Street Maintenance Depot in the old city, he works in the personnel department, and he has a little power in his hands, so he should be able to bring Achu to work." It's just that you're eighteen years old, then again...... When are you eighteen? ”
Farmer Gao stared at Ah Chu with eyes like knives, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
"Hmm...... He turned eighteen this month. Achu nodded silently.
"But ......," he wanted to continue, but was interrupted.
"Hmm......" Farmer Gao wanted to say something, but he didn't want to say anything, so he finally held back for a long time and only said three words.
"It's a nuisance."
Achu was worried, he knew that it really shouldn't trouble others to arrange his life, so he really didn't want to live under their control for the rest of his life, and his life should be decided by himself.
"When you go to work there after you graduate, remember to follow other people's rules. When you go out into society, it's different from school. If you make a mistake, don't think that writing a review of a few hundred words will do it. The money will be deducted at the slightest point. Dismissal is severe. This is not a joke to you, in a month or two you will be an adult, do you still want to giggle like a child? Farmer Gao told Achu that he was not false, and every word was true.
"It's time to be eighteen years old, be mature, and survive in this society with wolf ambitions. Kind lambs will eventually be eaten by wolves. ”
"But I really ......" Achu wanted to say something again, but was interrupted again.
"Achu, my uncle gave you a Rolex watch. If you make money in the future, remember to come to your uncle to buy a house. Uncle, I will give you a half-discount and pick the best feng shui treasure house for you. The fat uncle took out the black frosted watch box, and as soon as he took it out, the second aunt taught him to waste things.
Acchu was silent, he bowed his head and did not reply to the fat uncle. He took a deep breath, and Zhang Ningning looked at him from the sidelines as if he was ready to make a tirade.
"I ...... I don't want to go to work in the repair shop you arranged, I don't want to be a corrupt official, and I don't want to be a lawyer who has been bribed. My future should be decided by myself! Achu finally shouted his life declaration.
But so what?
"Corrupt officials?"
"Bribes?"
"How do you kid know?!" The eldest aunt and the third aunt were in turmoil for a moment.
"Then let's do real estate with my fat uncle, right? How about Achu? The fat aunt bared his big white teeth.
"Nope! I'd rather live like a dog, and steal my life like a dog, and I won't take the money from it! Even if I can't afford to eat even a mouthful of food, I have to retain the last vestige of dignity! Achu shouted to all his relatives that the tall farmer sitting opposite was going to be, and the fat uncle seemed to hear something, and he immediately took back his Rolex watch.
"What are you talking about? Everyone has worked so hard to arrange your life for you, will you repay us with this state? You deserve nothing in this life! Zhang Ningning said to him.
The aunt calmly told him about the current situation, "Achu...... Do you think the employment rate is high right now? You know how many people can't find a job and sleep on the streets, and eating a meal is a problem. Don't you like us to give you a job? But you can't help it, the only way out for you now is that. At least I have a skill, so I won't even be able to afford to eat in the future......"
The aunt sighed, "What's the use of dignity?" Can it be eaten as a meal? It's not the same anymore as it used to be, and it used to be okay to eat and drink well. But now...... The current society has changed, don't blame the aunt for speaking badly. How many people can remember their dreams now? How many people can still persevere in the end? In the end, not all of them were defeated by a cruel society, and those so-called dreams finally became a beautiful and regrettable bubble, which burst at the touch of a button. ”
Achu calmed down and remained silent. The current adults can't get used to Ah Chu, because this guy stabbed the basket.
Farmer Gao was the first to speak, "You guy, you still want to ascend to the sky in one step?" Let's find out the current situation first, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us? If you can be like Qingfeng and Zhang Ci, you can still talk about it. But you don't know anything, what are you going to do but be idle? ”
Zhang Ningning stroked the curly-haired cat and told Achu, "Babble, if you study hard like me, as for so much trouble now." Cousin, you should go to that maintenance shop to work first, get through the past few years, and when I graduate from college, I will open a company and invite you to work. We are all a family and will never treat you badly. ”
When she said this, she made Liu Xinyan laugh.
"That'...... I would like to ask Mr. Gao Nongfu, what qualifications do you have to control my future? You're just an official who's been bribed in the same way. Your glamorous appearance is enviable, and your unscrupulous appearance makes people feel embarrassed. ”
"Shut up!" Farmer Gao is going to blow up,
"Achu, what did you say?! Apologize to your third aunt! "The aunt hurried to salvage the situation that was facing collapse.
"I beg you to stop talking, and if you say anything more...... Something big is wrong. Gao Songbai quickly bit the napkin, and he looked at his father's face like a black face.
"You're a bit arrogant."
