Chapter 1: The blind date failed again
"Hu Mingchen, you kid is enjoying another glamorous blessing, how is it?
As soon as Hu Mingchen walked into the shed, his co-worker Xiao Jianbin jumped off the wooden bed with a smile and teased him.
"Cool or not, what's wrong with you? Hu Mingchen took off his coat and threw it on his bed, and after he angrily pushed Xiao Jianbin up, the whole person fell straight up.
Of course, Hu Mingchen could hear that Xiao Jianbin was ridiculing him and ridiculing him, and he was in a bad mood now, so how could he give Xiao Jianbin a good look.
"Old Xiao, forget it, this kid is estimated to have been hit again this time, why do you bother to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds?" On the other side of the bed, Wu Cannon, who was playing a game with his mobile phone, did not raise his head, and said in a dull tone.
I don't blame others for hitting him like this, it's really Hu Mingchen's road to love has always been bumpy and bumpy.
is in his thirties, and so far, he has not experienced a real love, and the source of all this is because Hu Mingchen's family is poor, or rather, Hu Mingchen himself is poor.
In today's world, realism is in charge, if you don't have a good family background, if you don't have a rich family wealth, it is really a difficult and headache to find a girl who can get by.
Isn't it said in society, there is no place for dicks in this world, even if you go to a restaurant for a meal, if it makes people look like a dick, even the waiter's attitude will immediately be cold.
However, what can be done about this, born in such a family, this is not something Hu Mingchen can choose.
When he thinks of his home, Hu Mingchen is confused and bored.
I remember that since I was very young, my family has always owed accounts to others, and in my impression, my father owed almost all the debts to his relatives, but after so many years, that account has not been paid off.
Is it because of business? No, is it because of some other big thing? No. When I was a child, my parents borrowed money not because they bought rice or oil, and later, even the tuition fees for the three brothers and sisters to go to school were borrowed from time to time, and then later, the old house was dilapidated, and the house was repaired by borrowing, even today, the family still owes the bank 20,000 yuan, which is still borrowed from the credit union when repairing the house last year.
Over the years, life at home has never been smooth.
In the past, I was still young and had little ability to help my family, but after working on the construction site over the years, half of the income I earned also helped my family, but in addition to making my current life better than ten years ago, the overall situation of the family has not been fundamentally improved.
Sometimes Hu Mingchen really blames his parents, how do they run a family, why can't they climb out of this quagmire?
When he thought of his parents, Hu Mingchen could really only hold his head with a pillow and shake his head and sigh.
Although parents don't belong to the kind of people who are lazy and lazy, they also belong to the kind of people who are a little weird. How do you say this? Hu Mingchen really didn't know how to describe it clearly.
Since more than 10 years ago, my parents have often gone out to work, but every time they make a little money, they will run home immediately, the reason is often strange, either come back to farm and plant grain, or which relative's family has to come back to eat wine, or they are not feeling well and have to go home to recuperate.
I have the impression that the number of times my parents go out to work from the beginning of the year to the end of the year is really only a handful.
What is the way out of growing crops in the countryside these days, let alone getting rich, even if it is very difficult to maintain that little bit of family and neighborhood people. What's more, Duge Town, where Hu Mingchen's home is located, is still a poor township with no flat land in the ravine, and even if it is Gaoshan County above, it is still a national-level poor county.
To tell the truth, there are a lot of mountains in the house, but there are only three points in the field. Every year, we harvest some bread of grain, and we have to find a way to convert it into rice. Otherwise, it will become ten months to eat bread grain and two months to eat rice, but this year, no matter how bad the family, where is there anyone who eats bread grain, which is basically used to feed pigs.
Over the years, not only have I often used money to help my family, but even my sister has given some funding from time to time, even so, the "bottomless pit" is still not enough.
Even if you sometimes make a lot of effort to fill it up, it won't be long before your father wants to buy a motorcycle or your mother wants to go to the hospital for a few days, as long as there is such a move, the state will immediately return to "before liberation".
Of course, it is undeniable that the mother's poor health is also one of the important factors contributing to these conditions. And her poor health mainly stems from a car accident more than ten years ago, which not only lost several relatives, but also seriously injured her mother, who was hospitalized for more than a month, and was discharged from the hospital, but also fell into the root of the disease, almost once a year, and her hands and feet could not exert much strength.
It's just that this point also made Hu Mingchen's sister and brother speechless and disgusted. If your health is not good, then pay attention to rest and supplement nutrition, but if you have a little money, your mother will not spend it on supplementing your body nutrition when she buys cigarettes and smokes, but smoking has become her No. 1 expenditure.
All in all, my mother has never quit smoking since the car accident.
If that's all it takes, then forget it, but my mother has a good face, but she is still "idle". Saying that she can't be idle, it doesn't mean that her mother will always want to do something that can generate value, on the contrary, let her rest, but she will either do it here or there, and in the end it will be some fruitless things.
For example, the aunt (aunt) will plant some vegetables and garlic in front of the house and behind the house, in addition to eating by herself, you can also take it to the town for a little money and food, but the mother basically never does this, but she never says that she does not plant, but will often say that she will plant soon, but over the years, even if she does not go out to work, the time when she is self-sufficient in vegetables is relatively small.
For more than ten years, Hu Mingchen felt that not only his parents' lives were muddy, but it seemed that he had been infected, his life had also become muddy, and the direction of his life had also become blurred.
As the saying goes, starting a family and starting a business, Hu Mingchen has always wanted to start a business first and then start a family, for this reason, he not only worked locally, but also went to many provinces and cities across the country. Of course, due to the low level of education, the work done is either in the factory or on the construction site.
Because of the low wages in the factory, Hu Mingchen still chooses to work on the construction site more often, but there are also disadvantages of working on the construction site, that is, it is difficult to ensure that there is work that can be done for a long time all year round. Basically, after the project is completed, you have to find another job, and the time wasted in that process can be as short as half a month or as long as half a year.
During this period, Hu Mingchen also tried to start a small business at the suggestion of his brother-in-law, perhaps because of bad luck or lack of talent in business, and finally the small business failed, and he owed some debts, which took a year to pay off.
In this kind of environment he is in, to be honest, Hu Mingchen has no bottom every time he goes on a blind date.
However, I have to go without a bottom, after all, there are so many people around me, either they are married, or their children are a few years old, and as for those who have not yet found a partner, they have all become ants on the hot pot.
A few days ago, I saw the news on my mobile phone that the ratio of men to women in China is seriously imbalanced, and there are tens of millions more men than women, which means that tens of millions of men will eventually be singles.
As soon as he thought that he would become a bachelor, Hu Mingchen's heart became uneasy and anxious. As a normal young man, no one wants to go that far, so every time someone wants to introduce him to a girlfriend, Hu Mingchen will happily go.
Even if his self-confidence is low, it is still an opportunity, just like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, in case he bumps into a girl who does not dislike him, besides, he has lowered his courtship conditions again and again.
Now Hu Mingchen doesn't want to find someone who is young and beautiful, as long as he has never been married, as long as he is still healthy, Hu Mingchen can accept it.
Life is really eight times out of ten nine times if life is unsatisfactory, it is such a low condition, and Hu Mingchen has repeatedly missed.
Every time others hear about his family situation, that kind of expression and tone of loss and disdain will hit him, even if sometimes the blind date does not talk about these contents, but when people propose to ask for tens of thousands of dowries, it is best to have a suite in the city, Hu Mingchen can only look away by himself.
Hu Mingchen is self-aware, tens of thousands of yuan of dowry, think of a way to barely get it, but to buy a house in the city, it is not a matter of tens of thousands of yuan, plus decoration, even if the area is small, it will be 400,000 yuan, if the location is good and the area is large, it is 6 or 700,000 yuan.
Today is Hu Mingchen's third aunt introduced a girl in their village to him, for this opportunity, Hu Mingchen not only asked the foreman for half a day off, but also went to the road below the mountain to find a small hair salon to wash his hair, blow his hair, and specially changed into a small suit that he usually does not wear.
As a result, after chatting with the twenty-four-year-old girl who had been working outside for several years, I only needed to reach his WeChat account.
Later, Hu Mingchen proposed to invite the girl to dinner, but the girl refused on the grounds that there were other things.
Hu Mingchen knew that it was not that there was really anything wrong with them, but that people looked down on him from the yellow soil of his leather shoes. In the end, Hu Mingchen could only return to the construction site by himself, and at the same time accept the ridicule of his co-workers.
"Wu Cannon, how can I rub salt on his wounds, I don't care about my brother. Hu Mingchen, let me tell you, this chasing girl makes it thick-skinned, the more shameless it is, the easier it is to succeed, like you, you will retreat after a blow, then it is a strange thing to be able to get a girl is really fucking, if you want to contact the contact information, you have to fight to the death, let me tell you, this is my brother's experience. ”
