The road is long, take it and cherish it

May 5th, Sunday, sunny, Mother’s Day.

Ten days have passed since Hou Yue passed away. During this period, he guessed part of the truth. His sister Hou Shurou was living a very troubled life every day.

During this period of time, she recalled over and over again every word Hou Yue said to her that night. It was difficult for her not to associate with her last words between the lines.

In the past few days, she had been trying to contact Hou Yue secretly, but she had found nothing. As for her parents, they had returned to Ningbo the day after the wedding. The boss there had been urging his father to go back to work. , in order to keep the business going, I had no choice but to rush back.

Five days ago, Hou Shurou also followed the URL left by her brother, clicked in to register an account, and found the stock. She invested all the 13 that Hou Yue gave her and her own 7 deposit. It was her absolute trust in her relatives. Although she didn't know the outcome, this was the last thing he told her. She had to do it. The 7 yuan she invested didn't sound like much, but it was already She worked diligently for seven years to save the money, and this money accounted for [-]% of her savings.

In this peaceful era where material life is becoming more and more abundant, people living in China are undoubtedly happy, but they are also miserable. Everything in every aspect of life is rising, not to mention the 20 and 100 square meters in first-tier cities. Even in small third-tier counties, house prices are still high. Just like where Hou Shurou lives, the house prices in some areas closer to the city are more than 150 yuan per square meter, and a house is around 3 million to 30 million yuan. This may be a For an ordinary family, the parents have saved their whole life, which is not even enough. But it doesn’t matter. The state has very considerately thought of a way for everyone. If you don’t have money, it can lend it to you. The down payment for buying a house only needs [-]% or even lower, but in the future In [-] years, you will be completely trapped, and unemployment will mean destruction.

Of course, many people now feel that the loan pressure is too great, and they have started to stop buying houses or finding partners. Of course, most people are not unwilling to talk about a partner, but they simply do not have the capital to do so. Love is free and beautiful, but expressing Love costs money in this era of capital.

Those capitalists name countless inexplicable things in the name of love, and those things will become expensive and popular. The most classic one is undoubtedly the diamond ring, which symbolizes eternal love. In fact, it is the same as the pen in the pencil. Diamonds are the same thing. Although everyone knows it, people don't care. It's just once in a lifetime. If you love me, how can you propose without a diamond ring?

Of course, there are many people who don’t fall in love, but can they really save much money? In this world, human beings violate the laws of nature and restrain their desire for the opposite sex. The accumulated desire will make people feel empty. So how can we fill the emptiness? Don't worry, smart capitalists have already thought it through for you. With the convenient stage of online shopping, they can constantly fabricate various discounts and promotions out of thin air, emptying your pockets over and over again, and reducing your desire to buy. , OK, first of all, various types of live broadcasts came out. The anchors claimed that they would make money if they bought them. They were all trying to save money for their families, and they made a lot of money from their so-called family members.

Finally, the short video provides various guidance on people's value consumption. Be kind to yourself. Life is short and you can enjoy yourself in the moment. If you want to say that you are not interested in the third dimension, no problem. Various paper figures will satisfy you. You said you like three-dimensional? Want to know more about the silicone Two-dimensional robot? As long as the money is available, anything can be manufactured according to your needs.

But only the salary has been very stable. If I must say it, the national minimum basic work salary seems to be rising from 2600 yuan to 2700 yuan. For many formal enterprises, this 100 yuan will be a huge sum of money. The boss may lose sleep for a few days because of Fei's expenditure. After all, it seriously affects the frequency of changing their cars.

In this era, the interest rates for putting money in banks are getting lower and lower. It’s as if people are afraid that they will get too much interest and stop working. There are also those so-called financial products. There used to be a saying, you can’t Financial management, finance will ignore you, but when people take their hard-earned money and deposit it, you will find that you cannot withdraw this money in a short time. All you can do is look at it every day , did he go up by 1 yuan or [-] yuan under the red light? Of course, most of the time, the green lights are the permanent guests. They even replace the status of the hat on everyone's head. Of course, this is not a big one. Everyone often laughs off losses, because if you compare them with our big brother, stocks, it is really a younger brother. People are sometimes very good at comforting themselves, because those who are not good at comforting themselves are like Those who play stocks might just jump off the rooftop that day.

Hou Shurou's job may be the same as that of most people who work in an office. She sits in a dead office from eight to five every day, doing the same thing, eating the cakes drawn by her boss, touching the fish of her work, and listening to My colleague’s salary was 4000 yuan, and he took the unexpected blame.

Some people may think that such a life will be very comfortable. The company is not far from home, there is no need to rent a house, and you can occasionally cook for yourself. The work is easy, you can receive a fixed salary, there are no risks, and you can pay it all year round plus a year-end bonus. There are more than 5 people. Of course, I have to admit that at this level, it may be more than half or more of the people in the country.

But, in fact, this type of work is also a physical and mental hardship. Long-term office work, on the surface, there is air conditioning and coffee to drink. In fact, long-term work will make everyone's body become more and more fragile. , those smart experts even thought of a good-sounding term: sub-health, which is really ridiculous.

However, compared with the psychological damage, the physical damage is nothing. When people look at the life that they can see to the end, they will also want to make some changes. Some people choose to continue to strengthen themselves and move to higher positions. Some people will be content with the status quo when climbing up, because they know that although the scenery at high places is beautiful, only those who have experienced it personally will understand the effort and hardship required to climb up.

Hou Shurou is one of this type of people. Her academic performance when she was in school was neither good nor bad, but she was definitely better than Hou Yue later. She went to an ordinary high school, and then to a pretty good junior college. I majored in accounting. To put it simply, I am responsible for statistics, accounting, and invoicing.

She is completely opposite to Hou Yue's life style of constantly trying new jobs. In the seven years since she graduated from college, she has been sticking to this industry. Although this major in college was not her choice at the beginning, it may not matter anymore.

Today, she arrived at the office as usual. Looking at the empty office, she muttered in her heart that another colleague of hers had not come yet and she was late again.

However, she was already used to it. She sat down in her seat, turned on the computer, and stared at the computer screen in a daze.

She suddenly thought, by the way, today is Mother's Day, and she forgot to order a gift from Taobao in advance for her mother. Thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone, bought a bouquet of flowers on the takeout platform, and asked the takeaway boy to deliver it to her mother. This love is clearly priced at 299 yuan, and the sales volume is 99+.

As she clicked a few times on the phone screen and paid, in a flower shop that she couldn't see, two employees took a look at the order and began to package it skillfully. On the street not far away, people dressed in The takeaway boy in yellow overalls had just finished delivering three takeaway orders. When he saw the new orders arriving on his phone, he ran through the red light at an intersection at the fastest speed of his electric car and rushed towards the flower shop.

Later, Hou Shurou opened WeChat and sent a blessing to her mother. Soon she received a reply from her mother, but when she saw her mother asking about Hou Yue's recent situation, she was stunned. She didn't know how to answer. That's good. She was silent for a long time, then edited the text and said: "Brother, he should be at work now. Maybe he will send you a message when he is finished."

After that, she put down her phone and stretched out her hand to support her depressed head. After a long time, she finally logged into Hou Yue's account, sent a simple blessing to her mother, and said that she had been a little busy at work recently.

Adding this sentence is just to pave the way for the mother not to call, otherwise it will be difficult to end.

After doing this, she put down her phone feebly. In fact, she had thought countless times about telling her parents about the conversation that night, but in that case, her parents would definitely be anxious to find her brother.

But, in the current situation, if her brother is really what she thinks, then this fact will be unacceptable to the whole family, but what if he just wants to go out for a walk?

Maybe, after a while, he will come back after having fun?

Maybe, he was joking with himself that night, so let's wait for now, give him some time, and give me some time.

After that, she gave up these troubles, opened those reports, and started today's boring work.

The morning passed quickly. Hou Shurou raised her tired head and glanced at the ceiling. It had been a long time since she had been so focused on the morning's work. She stood up and suddenly felt dizzy. She stretched out her hand to hold the table. , and after a while, I felt much more comfortable.

She was surprised to find that her only colleague in the office did not come this morning. Was there something going on at home? Or for other reasons.

But these were not important. She quickly put these unimportant things behind her. She specially made lunch boxes for today last night, which were all her favorites. Finally, she no longer had to eat those unpalatable and expensive takeaways. .

She happily opened the lunch box she brought, heated it briefly, sat down, and started eating slowly.

After eating, she patted her belly, and the thought of losing weight flashed through her mind. Although she was not actually fat, it was not difficult for girls to understand.

Afterwards, she lay down on her hard workstation and closed her eyes to rest for a while. This was one of the few quiet moments in her day.

But, obviously, whenever this moment comes, it will be accompanied by those inappropriate people and things, which will suddenly happen to everyone. There is no reason, but the boss simply does not want to see you too comfortable. That's all.

The boss lady came to Hou Shurou's office in high heels.

The sound of high heels scraping against the ground suddenly woke up Hou Shurou, who had just laid down. She could only sit up straight and look at the obese woman who opened the office door and walked in.

The landlady came to her, gave her guidance and handed over some tasks to her. Although those tasks were not urgent, the landlady would still stare at you until you got up and set off immediately.

Hou Shurou stood up helplessly. She took the materials and her car keys. In order to complete this temporary work, she needed to go to the bank in the city.

By the way, my car is about to be filled with gas again, and the price of gas seems to have risen again, which is really distressing.

After that, she drove to the entrance of the bank in the city under the strong sun above her head at noon, but she walked around the bank twice before she could barely find a parking space. She happened to catch up with someone who was just driving away. Cars are no longer the playthings of the rich and have begun to become popular. Of course, this certainly does not include those luxury cars costing tens of millions.

After parking the car, she quickly walked into the bank with the materials. She was faced with the cool air-conditioned breeze, which made her irritable mood slightly better. She took the number skillfully, and then sat in the waiting area aside. Hold the equal sign.

Today was a rest day, and she had been prepared for a protracted war before she came. It turned out that it was indeed the case. The bank was full of people sitting and standing doing business.

She was not in a hurry, took out her mobile phone and started browsing Taobao.

After a while, the noise attracted her attention. She looked up and saw an old woman in front of the counter. She was holding a crumpled bankbook in one hand and pointing in the direction of the counter with her other hand, crying. What are you wearing?

Hou Shurou listened carefully. It seemed that the old woman was here to withdraw money, but she was told that all her savings had been invested in financial management before. Now the money could not be withdrawn no matter what, but the old woman said that she had never I don’t know what financial management is, but my family needs the money urgently, and I can’t withdraw it now. Isn’t that bullying?

She sighed in her heart. This kind of thing happens from time to time. In this era of rapid development, there are traps hidden in many inconspicuous places. Especially these elderly people, it is easy to fall into their trap. Sometimes it may She signed a name, clicked on a few links, and was deceived into losing everything. After sighing, she didn't do anything because she knew that she couldn't be of much help after she passed.
