Chapter Thirteen Crash(1/2)
When I was a junior in college, everything seemed very difficult, including the inexplicable tuition fees.
I really can't understand that in just four meaningless years, people have to pay tens of thousands every year.
I really can't figure out whether this money is paid so that the school can give us the opportunity to learn knowledge, or if it is to give the school leaders more money to support female students.
Isn’t it already said that people who don’t go to college will be rejected by society in advance, while people who go to college will find that they are rejected by college.
This is how I feel.
Of course, this has nothing to do with me wanting to drop out of school when I first entered college. After all, I hadn't realized so many things at that time.
At that time, I was still too young.
The reason why I want to drop out of school is because I have no money.
Come to think of it, it's just him. How can a family so poor that he owns a flower ring shop get so much money? It's not like people buy these things every day.
To put it bluntly, wreaths and paper tying are consumables that are rarely used only once. Not so many people buy them all year round. What’s more, we are not the only wreath shop in Guiyang. They are more professionally decorated than us, larger in scale, and in better locations.
Those who are better than us are all big money-makers, and we happen to be among the small households who usually maintain their capital and make some profit from time to time.
Our store is located in an alley. How many people can find my store is a mystery to be solved.
Continuing from the last time, when I said I wanted to drop out of school, I was met with a slap from the old man, which really hurt me to death.
How many times have I been beaten by my father since I was a child?
There are only a handful of people, I really didn’t expect him to hit me for this matter.
The old man didn't apologize or explain to me afterwards, but he was very kind to me. He often bought me delicious food and seemed to have forgotten about it.
After drinking too much one time, the old man told all the reasons.
"In order for you to become a cultured person and for you to have a diploma so that you can have a better future, I don't want this old face to borrow 20,000 yuan. Why are you telling me that you can't go to school now?! Are you worthy of me?
!”
I feel like I'm quite stupid. Why didn't I understand what the old man meant at that time? Why was I childishly angry for several days?
I also think the old man is quite stupid. Why doesn’t he rely on his own special skills to make money? How easy would that be?
Maybe God’s answer is that you are all stupid.
But that's no longer important.
When I was in my junior year of college, my embarrassment suddenly became more serious, because there were very few people coming to buy paper towels at that time, basically just a few. This situation lasted for two or three months. It was so embarrassing.
.
When it came time to pay the tuition, the old man decided to follow the same rules and borrow money, while I tried my best to work part-time outside to make money.
I don’t want the old man to borrow money in such a lowly manner, not even to the point of death.
One day before the start of my junior year, I happened to have a part-time job at a place where there were many activities in Orange. I helped move boxes and set up stages, and I was wearing a silly hat.
The salary was calculated daily, 80 per day. It was the highest-paying part-time job I found during that time.
Just when I had just finished my work that day, I was taking my free time to sit at the door of the small warehouse behind the stage and wipe my sweat, when several familiar figures suddenly walked over from across the road.
It was Zhou Yujia and her classmates. They were all women, and they were all dressed up in fancy clothes.
I had two options in my mind at the time.
First, keep your head down and pretend you don’t know them and then run away.
Second, just say hello to them shamelessly.
I admit that I am the most ordinary man, because I found that I have a common problem among ordinary men of that age, which is to save face.
Just when I had chosen first place and was about to get up and turn around and run away, Zhou Yujia suddenly called me.
"Brother Yi!!"
"I'm so stupid."
Zhou Yujia ran to me with a smile, looked at me who was dirty all over, and asked me: "Does Brother Yi work here?"
"Yeah...why are you here..." I smiled awkwardly.
No wonder they say there are so many bitches in the world. Before Zhou Yujia could say anything, a classmate next to her started mocking me.
"Yujia, how do you know this kind of person?"
I glanced at her and refrained from slapping her.
This woman doesn't have a good relationship with Zhou Yujia. Although they usually talk and laugh, Zhou Yujia told me that she doesn't like to talk to this woman much. What can I say about this woman? She's just too snobbish and annoying.
of.
"It's none of your business whether I know Brother Yi or not?" Zhou Yujia looked at her and smiled.
There was a silent snap, but it was a loud and bright slap in the face. If I hadn't been thin-skinned and afraid of being beaten, I would have hugged Zhou Yujia and kissed her hard.
When Zhou Yujia said this, the woman couldn't bear it, but she obviously knew Zhou Yujia's life experience. She turned away angrily and didn't dare to say anything more. As for the others, Zhou Yujia sent them away gently.
She said she had something to tell me and just asked them to leave first.
"What are you doing here?" I reached out and took out a bottle of fresh orange from the box at the back and gave it to her. My face turned a little red: "Why don't you leave first? I'm still busy here."
Zhou Yujia was much smarter than I thought. She seemed to understand something, smiled gently and nodded.
I admit that I was taken aback by her smile.
Then, I watched her take out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed it to me.
"Just keep it to wipe your sweat. The weather is hot, so be careful not to get heatstroke."
Zhou Yujia blushed and said something. After saying that, she smiled at me and walked across the street. After waving, she slowly disappeared from my sight.
I was in a daze when someone slapped me on the back of my head. When I turned around, I saw that it was my grandson Zhou Yan.
"You are so elusive." I said helplessly with an expression on my face that said, "I didn't expect your grandson to come."
The work clothes Zhou Yan was wearing were exactly the same as mine, which meant that he had so much time to spare that he came to relieve my boredom.
"My sister is pretty, isn't she?" Zhou Yan chuckled and said proudly.
"Beautiful, as soon as I saw your sister, I felt that you were not your parents' biological child." My words were harsh, and Zhou Yan's face turned dark immediately, and he almost hit me on the head with the bottle in his hand.
At that moment, I vaguely saw a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye. Before Zhou Yan could ask questions, I ran out without waiting for Zhou Yan to ask. After running across the road, I saw that person at the entrance of the alley.
"I'm afraid you're a hungry bastard, so I'll bring you some food." The old man smiled and handed me the beef meal he was carrying, meaning that I should eat it quickly.
"Why don't you go over?" I asked after taking it.
The old man glanced at the clothes he was wearing, smiled and said nothing, waved his hand and left.
The clothes he wore were bought several years ago. They had many patches and looked very fashionable, but he didn't seem to think so.
"The old man really cares about face." I squatted on the street eating lunch and felt my eyes were a little wet.
The old man is a face-loving person. To be precise, he loves my face.
He doesn't like to go to my school. Even if he goes, he has to wear the most decent clothes. He says he can't embarrass me, but in fact, why would I think so much?
If I think the old man has embarrassed me, then how much of a beast am I?
He is such a "face-saving" person, but he is still a very poor wreath shop owner. I have to say that God loves to play with people.
Maybe it was that time that made me firmly remember my dream.
In the future, I want to make more money, let the old man live a good life, and let the old man...
After the old man passed away, everything turned to shit.
I have become like an ordinary child. I can only use paper to tie wreaths and paper villas to show my filial piety to my elders. However, I did not let my elders live a good life while they were still alive.
Later, I finally heard that people could resurrect this game bug. I was just about to cheat and let the old man come back to life, but his body was burned. This was unlucky for him, but it was not the end of everything.
Today, God finally brings an end to the story between me and the old man.
That's right, when I saw the records in "The Book of Tao", I knew that everything was over.
Everything is finished.
"The formation is based on talismans, and the ink is the eye, which collects the soul and soul..."
"The bamboo and wood with ink are evil trees."
"The souls of the first seven are harvested by the bamboos themselves."
"The lifespan of a soul is numbered in sevens and sevens."
"If the magician does not live long enough to perform the magic, he will be at peace when his soul returns to the world."
"If the life span is exceeded, the soul will not return and disappear, so it will never be reincarnated..."
No wonder the old man didn’t come back during the first seven days...
It turns out that his soul...
I have long been fascinated by the material of Guigu Corpse Scripture, Mo Lianzhu...
The number of seventy-seven...the lifespan of the soul...
To be continued...
