35 this year

Chapter 69

After being accused by Sheng Min, Huang Guanyang also took a look at himself secretly. He is not unaware that his body is getting heavier and heavier. Every time he takes a bath, holding the fat mountain on his body, he seems to be out of breath. He could feel the changes in his body very clearly. He used to walk like flying, but now he was panting after walking a few steps, and he could even feel his body trembling.Because he was short of breath and tired, he didn't want to move, and he had a habit of drinking beer. He used to drink a can of beer a day, but since Xu Hong said that, Huang Guanyang seemed to smash all the complaints. It was pushed on Xu Hong, and he began to drink a lot, and after drinking, he poured all his grievances on Sheng Min again.

For Huang Guanyang, there is nothing he can do about the changes in his body. He is running around for life, to build a good relationship with others, and to vent his dissatisfaction...

But even so, Huang Guanyang dragged his body, which was weakening due to unhealthy conditions, into the large team of job seekers.At the beginning, Huang Guanyang made a strategy for himself. He is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer. In order to make a living, he can lower his head and ask for the friends he knew before and the connections he was proud of before. How beautifully he packaged his resume, and how he said that the process of leaving the company was based on his own development. After perfunctory with him, those contacts disappeared. Send group messages one after another, and the most scruples about face will say "Let's have dinner together another day".Let's eat together another day, even a young man who has just left the society knows that this is just an excuse to evade, another way of saying "goodbye", let alone a person like Huang Guanyang, he naturally understands it and gets it The more times this kind of reply is made, the more discouraged it will be.

Huang Guanyang often sits in the park in the early spring, like all retired old men, basking in the sun there, and then watches the aunt pushing the old man for a walk, watching the mother lead the child for a walk, the old men who are hanging out It's not impossible, but there is no one as decadent as him. Sometimes those old men who exercise will even come to invite him. The old man takes a long whip, or suona, and asks him: Brother, can you do this?Huang Guanyang glanced at the old man and thought, so his appearance looks similar to that of the old man.

Thinking of this, Huang Guanyang felt that he couldn't do it again. He had to cheer up and find a job quickly, because the rent was still waiting for him, and because his parents' pension of 5000 yuan a month was still waiting for him. any time of illness.At this time, Huang Guanyang was a little lucky. The Sheng Min sisters often chatted about the messy things in Wang Yihan's family, and Sheng Min had to talk to him from time to time. Huang Guanyang felt that his parents were okay. Urging him to remarry as soon as possible, urging him to have a child while his physical strength is still good.

Huang Guanyang, who had just ignited the heart of struggle, opened the recruitment software, and was poured cold water by the job requirements. The words "under 35 years old" seemed to have sentenced him to death. Some companies even accurate the age of recruitment to a certain year. Born after a certain month and a certain day, Huang Guanyang felt that he, who was over [-] and unemployed, was not worthy of living anymore?
Huang Guanyang tried to vote for a few, but nothing came of it, and he couldn't read it back. Huang Guanyang tried to ask people what was inappropriate, and the person replied politely and sorry, and refused to say anything later. Huang Guanyang also knew that if he continued, he would It is possible that someone with a heart would report it on the grounds of age discrimination, and he, who was once the director of personnel, is well versed in this.

Huang Guanyang sighed, feeling that the way of the world is like this, he has no right to speak, he is waiting for others to choose him, even complaining seems to be his own incompetence, so he can't complain, he can't even talk to Sheng Min, because she will look down on him.Even at this point, Huang Guanyang still wanted to maintain the dignity of his so-called man. In front of Sheng Min, he must be the one stronger than her.

Huang Guanyang left the park and wanted to go to a convenience store to buy something to eat. In the past, he always saw those unemployed people eating instant noodles and eating this and that, but since he wanted to lose weight, he just wanted to have a sip of mineral water , with rising temperatures, preferably iced.Even though he thought this way, although he had set up an ambition to lose weight in his heart, when he entered the convenience store, Huang Guanyang still looked at the chicken legs, steamed buns, and oden in the automatic incubator. After thinking about it, Huang Guanyang bought them decisively. A bottle of iced oolong tea, a roasted chicken leg, and two buns.lose weight?Let’s talk about it another day, people, how can we do it without maintaining sufficient physical strength at all times, how to say that sentence, we must always be prepared, even if he is out of work now, he still has some savings, so it’s not enough to eat a meal Digging.

In this way, Huang Guanyang wandered around the streets with nothing to do for more than a month. In the end, he didn't even bother to submit his resume on the recruitment software.Looking at Huang Guanyang who was getting more and more depressed, Sheng Min didn't say a word. In the past, when Huang Guanyang's work was not going well, she still thought about asking Xu Hong to ask Chang Qing for help, but now she was more concerned about seeing him. A joke, while watching the joke, I read my husband's WeChat over and over again, waiting for his initiative to call.

Actually, Huang Guanyang also knew that if he went to find Chang Qing, with his relationship with Chang Qing for many years, it would not be a problem to find an official position in Chang Qing Company, but Huang Guanyang was unwilling.Ever since he failed to eavesdrop that night, Huang Guanyang knew that Chang Qing had already seen through his little thoughts. Others might not understand Chang Qing, but he knew Chang Qing too well. They can all sense something is wrong, but the hateful thing is that he sees through it but doesn't tell it. Chang Qing always uses another way, a way that he thinks is considerate of the other party's face, to quietly resolve this contradiction.Chang Qing thought that this method made both parties look good, but it was a humiliation to Huang Guanyang, as if he was slapping him in the face, as if he was saying that he should stop wishful thinking and not look at himself.For Huang Guanyang, Chang Qing is aloof, and he has been like this since he was a child, but because of this "childhood", he has no way to tear himself apart from Chang Qing, so he can only maintain it in such an embarrassing manner. able to get along with the relationship.Besides, Sheng Min contacts Xu Hong every day. Can Xu Hong not know about Huang Guanyang's unemployment? Can Xu Hong know about Chang Qing? It's hard not to say that it's another way to save face for him. If that's the case, why bother to find this boring? It's still the same sentence, people must have self-knowledge.

Two months after Huang Guanyang was unemployed, he felt that it was really difficult for him to re-enter the company, and he couldn't change this fact. It's in the sun.Huang Guanyang, born as a delicate son, naturally couldn't do the job of delivering food and running errands. He thought he didn't have the physical strength. After working as a freelancer for half a day, Huang Guanyang decided that he wanted to be a car driver.

But if this is the case, the problem will come again. Huang Guanyang does not have a car. Although he has a driver's license, the car problem still needs to be solved.Huang Guanyang calculated his savings, and it was only more than 30 yuan, which was all he had for a man over 30 years old.Looking at this number, Huang Guanyang cursed again in his heart. Those who say on the Internet all day long that they save 80 million a year and [-] million after working for a few years are just delusions of youngsters who have never been in society. Yes, or do you really have this money-making business?If this is true, what kind of business do they do, what do they do, do they have no parents to support them, don't they have daily expenses and other odds and ends... Huang Guanyang thought, he might have really entered the wrong business back then, He "married" the wrong wife again, so he failed to make a fortune through these two shortcuts in life.

Complaints belong to complaints. Now that it’s all decided, Huang Guanyang feels that he still has to do it. After all, if he does it, he still has a way out of life. If he doesn’t do it, he can only take Sheng Min back to his hometown. Sheng Min may not be willing to go with him.

In order for him to continue to live a life of "having a wife" in the future, Huang Guanyang divided his savings according to his daily needs, excluding daily expenses, and gave it to his parents. He felt that the money he could spend to buy a car was at most 10 yuan. But what kind of car can you buy for 10 yuan?Looking at the various pictures of cars, Huang Guanyang turned his attention to Sheng Min again.

When Huang Guanyang passed this intention of buying a car to Sheng Min, Sheng Min had just returned from work, took a shower, and came out of the bathroom. , Sheng Min's face became serious again.

While listening to his nagging, Sheng Min took a can of cold beer from the refrigerator, then wiped the ash on it with a paper towel, opened the tab, and with a tearing sound, the beer steam came out of it. The foam also drilled some out.Sheng Min licked the air bubbles on it, gulped it down, and then looked at Huang Guanyang from the corner of his eye. Huang Guanyang was still waiting for her reply, with pious and expectant eyes.

Sheng Min thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you just buy it with this [-] yuan?" Sheng Min originally planned not to let him buy this car, because based on her understanding of Huang Guanyang, Huang Guanyang couldn't bear the pain of being turned upside down day and night. Ah, I will definitely sit in the car and blow on the air conditioner to sleep.But, after thinking about it, Huang Guanyang bought a car, so she can sit in it too, so why not do it, she just doesn't need to pay.

Huang Guanyang showed Sheng Min some pictures of his favorite models, and said something about the price level of the passenger car, Sheng Min drank two sips of beer again, rolled his eyes and said, "But I I don’t have any money, as you know, my father and mother are not doing well recently, so I gave them the money.” Sheng Min thought, if I gave it to my parents, you can’t let me ask for it back.

Hearing what she said, Huang Guanyang became anxious. Huang Guanyang said, "How can you give them all the money? What about us? What should we do? How can we live?"

Sheng Min held the can of beer and said, "However, my parents only ask me occasionally. Even if they ask for more this time, it's not as good as your parents, right? You give your parents money every month." Well, and five thousand, my monthly salary is not enough, why don’t you give it to them, or ask them for something? I heard that some children gave money to their parents, and they didn’t spend it, so they gave it to him Save it, saying that it will be used for him to marry a wife in the future. Or, how about this? I don’t ask your family for a bride price, so you let your parents use the part that should be given to me to buy a car for us. After finishing speaking, Sheng Min even blinked his big eyes, and looked at Huang Guanyang innocently and sincerely.

Hearing what she said, Huang Guanyang was discouraged, took a breath from his stomach, and exhaled it from his tobacco-smelling mouth.Sheng Min hated the smell, so she stayed away from him.Seeing Huang Guanyang's appearance, Sheng Min was secretly proud, thinking that Xu Hong had talked about this recently.

Xu Hong and Chang Qing did talk about this, and it was Chang Qing who took the initiative to ask.Chang Qing calculated his savings. If the wedding is over, he may really have no money, but he hasn't asked about the gift money for Xu Hong's family and for Xu Hong.

When Chang Qing asked these questions, Xu Hong was lying on the sofa reading a book. After Chang Qing asked, Xu Hong took his eyes away from the book and said, "Let me think about it."

Chang Qing said, "My original plan was that even if all the money was spent, with the salary of the two of us, it would definitely not be a problem to live and raise children after marriage." Xu Hong nodded, and Chang Qing said again, "But don't worry, you should I will not give you less courtesy, my parents have also asked me, they seem to be prepared, it depends on how much you want."

After Chang Qing finished speaking, Xu Hong had a teasing smile on his face and asked, "Are your parents still thinking about this?"

"Of course, who doesn't give a bride price when they get married?"

Xu Hong thought about it for a while, and then asked, "May I ask, how much did you spend on the bag and the ring?" Xu Hong thought, Chang Qing should have a lot of savings, so he wouldn't buy a bag and a ring Only one hundred thousand yuan was left. How much did these two things cost?

Chang Qing looked at Xu Hong carefully, and said as if swearing, "My wife, don't worry, I will never spend money indiscriminately when I get the ring, and I will leave my salary card with you." Xu Hong thought, okay, This is definitely a lot of money, and it is definitely beyond her expectations.

Looking at his expression, Xu Hong made Chang Qing feel that he had to say something, so Chang Qing hesitated and said, "It adds up to about three hundred thousand."

"You're crazy!" Xu Hong felt that Chang Qing was really crazy, and they weren't that wealthy family. As for buying such expensive things, what kind of consumption concept is this?

Chang Qing promised again, "I won't..."

"Chang Qing, what on earth are you thinking? Let's not talk about the ring. As for the bag, I wasn't with you when you bought it. Are you afraid that I'll take it and run away?"

"If you run away after collecting the things, I will give up. How can a woman and her boyfriend calculate the money as clearly as you do? You calculate so clearly, don't you just want to run away at any time?"

"So, you just want to trap me with that bag?"

"That's not all... I feel that you like me."

"Heh." Xu Hong's huh made Chang Qing look at her wronged again. To ease his heart, Xu Hong added another sentence, "It feels quite accurate."

Chang Qing immediately showed a smile on his face, hugged her and said, "Honey, don't worry, we don't have a house loan or a car loan, our daily expenses are not big, and my job is stable. We will have a baby right away after we get married. Expenses are also manageable.”

Xu Hong looked up at him and asked, "Did you get married just to have children?"

"Not all, but, if you don't get married, you won't be able to have this child."

"Then do you know how dangerous it is for women to have children?"

"I know it, my parents know it too, our whole family knows it, if we don't know, can we think that what Chu Yunxing did is not a human thing? Just because I know it, my parents think it is necessary to give a bride price, my mother Having said that, giving the bride price is a guarantee for the woman, but it is definitely not a childbirth purchase, because she has given birth to a child herself, so she knows that no amount of hard work can be compensated. To be more accurate, the money is also It just makes you feel more at ease and free from worries. Although in her view, in the eyes of all parents, her son is very good, but for the woman, who can know whether the man she married is a human or a ghost? It takes a long time to see people's hearts, right? But people's hearts are uncertain, and things are impermanent. Besides, you can't just love all day long, love. This so-called love can't be touched or seen. It's not practical. .”

After Chang Qing finished speaking, Xu Hong raised his chin to look at him again, and then said, "Your mother said this? The old lady is quite understanding."

"I just told you that you haven't seen them before. If you have seen them, you might like them too. Besides, my mother said that this money is for you, and it is considered pre-marital property. No matter what happens in the future Whatever happens to us, this is all for you."

"When did your mother say that?" Xu Hong felt that she would never believe that an old man would say such a thing. How many examples are there on the Internet, and how many people are around her, and in the end they all took the woman away during the bride price? The derogation is worthless, as if mentioning the word "betrothal gift" means selling the daughter for the man's money.Xu Hong has always felt that the so-called truth of betrothal gifts is understood by anyone who talks about it, but there are people who play tricks and think about taking advantage of this opportunity. If you can save it, you can save it. Girl, the big girl who posted it upside down, just like the big girl of their son, she sounds like a "good" daughter-in-law who works hard and can be disciplined.

"I told her when I gave her the bracelet you bought."

Hearing this, Xu Hong squinted his eyes, and then broke free from Chang Qing's arms, thinking that it's no wonder that he was interested in her and got the investment. Maybe this was just casually talking about it .

Xu Hong picked up her book again, thinking about continuing to read, Chang Qing lay down on her again and asked, "Honey, how much do you want, so I can tell my parents."

While flipping through the book, Xu Hong said, "Well...my family can make up their own minds. As for my marriage, I can make decisions by myself. I hold the household registration book in my own hands, and I can still let them hinder me because of this matter." Me? As for me, didn’t you give me a bag and a ring? As for me, I never thought in my life that I would have such an expensive bag and ring, more than 30 yuan, huh, that’s it, it’s considered a bride price.”

After Xu Hong finished speaking, Chang Qing got under her arm again, read the book with her, and asked, "Then when will you meet my father and mother?"

Xu Hong shook the book in his hand and said, "Didn't you see that I am researching what love is? I will go there when I understand it."

Chang Qing looked at the title of the book "The Land of Mankind", and then asked, "Is it good?"

"It's beautiful, I will borrow it from you after I finish watching."

"Let's read it together." As he said that, Chang Qing snatched her book, planning for him to read it too.When Chang Qing acted like a baby, Xu Hong smiled again, covered his eyes and said, "No, wait until I finish." Chang Qing felt that Xu Hong's face was on the side, so he raised his head and tried Kissing her, Xu Hong still covered his eyes and hid his face...

It had been several days since Xu Hong had teased and played with him like this, and Chang Qing thought again that the insignificant rift between them would disappear sooner or later.

　"The Land of Mankind" is also known as "The Wind, Sand and Stars", a book that I personally like very, very much, and I strongly recommend it.
