But if you can hide it from the first day of the lunar month, you can't hide it from the fifteenth day. If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for the rest of your life. Sooner or later, I had to tell the people around me about my resignation. At least in the next few days while visiting relatives and neighbors, I seemed to be explaining every minute.
When I went to my grandmother's house, my aunt asked me: "Zijin, your mother said that you work in a big company in Yecheng as an assistant to the boss, and your monthly salary is hundreds of thousands. You can get this much every month." ?"
I nodded first, and then replied: "We have a basic salary, and it's almost enough with commission."
My aunt looked envious, then glanced sideways at my cousin, and said angrily: "Look at your sister, her salary alone is enough for you to earn for several years!"
My brother is four years younger than me. He dropped out of junior high school and helps people drive at construction sites.
He was playing with his mobile phone. When he heard this, he replied in a more disdainful tone: "That's because my uncle and aunt taught me well. What did you teach me?"
My aunt immediately got mad and started arguing with my brother in front of the whole family.
I quickly said: "My brother is still young. It will be fine when he grows up and becomes sensible."
My aunt was so angry that her face turned red and her neck was thick, she gouged out his eyes, and then said: "You were sensible when you were his age, but he is just a piece of shit who can't stand up to the wall!"
My brother's eyes widened and he was about to argue with her, but he gave up after being glared at by my uncle.
I said out loud: "I resigned and I haven't told you yet."
Except for my parents who already knew about it, everyone was surprised and asked me repeatedly why I wanted to resign.
I said, "It's too much pressure."
My grandma and my uncle both said that they resigned because of the pressure. Only my aunt said to me: "Zijin, you are stupid. Your monthly salary is hundreds of thousands. Don't say it's because of the pressure. As long as it doesn't cost people's lives, then you have to do it." ah!"
My parents laughed a little awkwardly, and my mother couldn't say anything. Only my uncle glared at my aunt and cursed loudly: "Money, money, money, all the damn money is gone, you said that." Is that human talk?"
As a result, my uncle and aunt got into a fight again.
We stayed at my grandma's house for a meal at noon. In the afternoon, my parents and I quickly found an opportunity to escape.
Later, we went to my grandma and grandpa's place again. I told them about my resignation, and my grandma said directly: "Hey, we still hope that your little brother will stay in Night City directly after the college entrance examination. It just so happens that you can still take care of him. I didn’t expect you to resign.”
I don't find fault with my grandma, after all, older people can say whatever they want.
It's just this embarrassment that the whole family doesn't know what to do. In the end, my uncle smiled and said, "It's okay. Your little brother didn't want to get into Night City University. It would be great if he could get into Winter University."
My grandma didn't have much vision, so she asked me a supplementary question: "Zijin, now that you've resigned, won't you get any money at all?"
I tried my best to raise the corners of my lips and replied with a slight smile: "Yes, how can I get paid if I resign?"
My grandma sat on the sofa and nodded, with a look of disappointment on her face.
My mother had a bad temper. She scowled in front of her and said unhappily: "Zijin paid hundreds of thousands to the family in the past few months. I didn't give you less money. What happened to the child who resigned due to great pressure outside?" ? Don’t do this or that!”
As soon as my mother said this, everyone from my grandparents to my uncle, aunt and cousin looked embarrassed.
I felt even more restless, like a thorn in my back.
After my grandma paused for a few seconds, she first scolded my mother, and then said to me awkwardly: "Zijin, grandma doesn't mean anything else. Don't take it to your heart."
What can i say? He could only smile and reply: "It's okay. In fact, I resigned without discussing it with my family. You said I should have done so."
As a result, I was very upset even after dinner.
I go home with my parents. I go back to the bedroom very early in the evening and the lights are turned off early. My parents probably thought I was asleep, but I didn't expect that I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and heard the two of them whispering in the bedroom.
My mother said: "Zijin said she resigned due to pressure, but I know she didn't have such a personality. It probably had something to do with being broken up in love."
My dad said, "You didn't ask her what happened?"
My mother said, "I asked her, but she didn't tell me."
My dad sighed, and then said: "Forget it, the child has grown up and has her own ideas. If I don't say anything anymore, what else can I do?"
My mother whispered: "Everyone in our school doesn't know that Zijin works in a big company in Yecheng, with a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands. I also said that she can get hundreds of thousands of dividends at the end of the year. Now she suddenly resigned. What should I tell the people at school when I come back?"
My dad said: "You are also arrogant, why are you talking about this? I want to see how you can step down now."
My mother asked back: "Didn't you brag to the people in your bureau? I saw Xiao Han in your bureau a few days ago, and he told me that you said in the bureau that Zi Jin's annual salary is several million, and it can be increased in the future. Is this what you said?"
My dad replied impatiently: "Originally, if she had not resigned, would her annual salary be one to two million? Am I wrong?"
I stood between the bathroom and the master bedroom, and I couldn't explain how I felt. In the final analysis, money and profit are still at play.
I used to be the pride of my whole family, but now I suddenly packed up and came back without catching anything. No wonder they were like this.
I don’t blame them, because even relatives want to borrow the convenience of relatives and friends around them.
The only thing I'm sad about is that I let them down after all.
If your family can't accept something right away, don't expect friends and strangers to tolerate it. So from then on, for half a month, I almost never left the house or took a step out. I stayed at home for fear of going out and meeting someone my parents knew. I was afraid that if they asked me about my work, it would embarrass my parents.
I ate and slept every day. In addition to watching anime, I also played Bubble Shooter online. Sometimes my life was in a state of black and white. My parents never say anything to me, but occasionally remind me not to be late when I go to my grandma’s house or my grandma’s house for dinner the next day.
One day when I was on my way to my grandma’s house for dinner, I heard a familiar voice. She shouted loudly: “Zijin!”
When I heard the news, I saw a girl standing at the entrance of the mall and waving to me fiercely. She was wearing a short skirt, long boots and a short down jacket. Her long hair was permed into curls and draped over her shoulders. She was white and beautiful.
Growing up, I only admitted that she was prettier than me.
My eyes widened subconsciously, I waved to her in surprise, and shouted loudly: "Chen Chen!"
Chen Chen ran towards me in small steps wearing a pair of seven-eight centimeter high-heeled boots. On my feet was a pair of three-centimetre inner height-increasing shoes, which were as high as hers.
We gave each other a big hug first, and she asked me: "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me?"
I smiled and replied: "Just came back."
Chen Chen took my hand, looked me up and down, and then said, "Dear, why are you so thin?"
I smiled and replied, "You just say I'm not inspiring, right?"
She winked at me: "Absolutely inspiring!"
I originally didn't want to meet my friends too early, and I was still afraid that they would ask me about what happened in Night City, but I couldn't hide from it, because all my good sisters in Liangcheng knew that I was back that night. My mobile QQ and WeChat messages kept ringing, asking me to come out and get together quickly.
No way, the next day they called me to a newly opened KTV. It was a themed KTV. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a room full of jingle cats. There was a row of people sitting on the gold-colored sofa. Because the lights in the room were not dim, I could clearly see everyone's face.
When everyone saw me, they also smiled and said hello: "Here comes Da Jinzi, come in quickly."
As soon as I entered the door, Pan Siyu, a tall man, stood up and said, "Let me go, Da Jinzi, you are not coming back from Night City, you are coming back from Africa, right? Why are you so thin?"
Pan Siyu is my good sister in high school. She is 17cm tall and weighs...
I looked at Pan Siyu and teased without thinking: "Why have you gained weight again?"
Pan Siyu rolled his eyes at me, pretending to be unhappy and replied: "Can you speak? How can you say this in front of my fiancé? I have lost a pound recently, and I am one hundred and seventy-two. "
While talking, a plain-looking man next to Pan Siyu stood up. He was very tall, a full head taller than Pan Siyu who was wearing high heels.
I saw it in Pan Siyu's space photo album. At that time, I thought he was not handsome. But now... he looks worse than in the photo.
Pan Siyu introduced us: "This is my good sister Liang Zijin, and this is Chang Hong."
I took the initiative to reach out my hand and shook hands with Chang Hong. Chang Hong said with a smile: "Siyu keeps nagging me at home all day long, saying that you are getting fat, but you are not fat at all, you are still a little thin."
I raised my eyebrows and replied, "Can you still believe what your wife says?"
Pan Siyu immediately answered: "I showed him your high school photos."
I immediately cursed: "Fuck!"
In the private room, there were also Li Run, Zhutian Haosong and his wife who had just obtained their certificates, and Chen Chen and her boyfriend Li Rui.
Li Rui talks little and is shy. We have been together for almost four years. I see him once or twice every year when I come back. I am not very familiar with him, but I am not a stranger either.
The seven of us sat in a private room and never mentioned my boyfriend, because several girls knew about my breakup with Chen Wenhang, so they would naturally tell a few boys.
But they are all very curious about my work.
First, Pan Siyu's fiancé Chang Hong raised this topic. He turned to me and said, "Zijin, Siyu said that your monthly salary is enough for a room full of us to earn for several years. Is it true?"
I took a sip of wine and replied with a smile: "A hero doesn't mention his bravery, comrades, I resign."
After I finished speaking, everyone looked at me in shock. I replied calmly: "Money is not that easy to make. The pressure was too great and I couldn't bear it, so I resigned and came back."
I said it cheerfully, and after everyone was stunned for a few seconds, they began to comfort me. Mostly the kind of words that don't matter.
Chang Hong asked me again after a while: "Hey, Zijin, you have saved a lot of money in this short year of work, right?"
I said, "The more you earn, the more you spend. Just save a little."
Pan Siyu asked gossiping: "How much have you saved? Tell me the number."
I said, "I didn't calculate it carefully. I think it should be around half a million."
Chang Hong heard this and immediately said: "That's it. Five hundred thousand can buy a house of more than 100 square meters in Liangcheng. Some people may not be able to make it back even if they earn it for ten years."
As soon as he said this, I glanced sharply at Chen Chen and Li Rui sitting on my right, and my expression changed.
