The whole network protects rights, it is strictly forbidden to carry it, and violators will be prosecutedNarrator: Zhang Shunlai
Written by: Wen Huo Shan
I am Zhang Shunlai, born in the 80s, with a secondary school degree, the only son in the family, his mother died early, leaving only one father to manage the one-third of an acre of land allocated by the state at home.
I went to Guangdong more than ten years ago to work hard, worked for ten years, saved some money, got married, and gave birth to a lovely little son.
But wolves have wolf king dreams, how can I be willing to work all my life.
After having a little capital, my ambition swelled, thinking about starting a business, trying to soar, become a boss, and win a brighter future for my son.
I thought that just after the epidemic, all walks of life recovered, and business should be able to do smoothly.
So I spent a lot of money this year to rent a store in Guangzhou, spend money on renovation, and open a cafeteria.
This store spent almost half of my savings in the previous ten years, and I only kept another 50,000 yuan into my wife's card, and I was going to keep this money for emergency use, no matter what the situation was.
But I can know that the epidemic is over, but business is still very difficult.
In the first month of my cafeteria's business, the turnover was not optimistic.
Originally, if we didn't open a discount, it is estimated that we can still recover the rent, but our new store must engage in activities and advertisements, otherwise there will be no business.
As a result, we didn't even pay back our rent for a month, let alone make money.
But I haven't despaired, I think this business has to be done slowly, and after more repeat customers and advertisements are out, it will slowly get better.
But things didn't go as planned, and in the following months, the turnover even continued to decline.
With fewer people coming to eat, I had to reduce the cost of ingredients to minimize my expenses.
This has put my restaurant into a vicious circle, with word of mouth plummeting and even fewer people eating.
Seeing that hundreds of thousands of yuan were about to be lost, I was unwilling, but I did another stupid thing.
I actually took out my wife's 50,000 emergency expenses to turn around.
The result is obvious, 50,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket, and it was quickly wasted.
My wife and I have been saving for more than ten years in less than a year, and I have maxed out my credit card, and I even have tens of thousands of debts.
My wife quarreled with me every day, and my temper became worse and worse, and I often began to get angry for no reason and throw things at home.
For the sake of my family's life, I had to continue to work, but when I think of the previous ten years of work, I still feel very uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it's time for the Chinese New Year, and my credit card hasn't been paid off, let alone the debt I owe.
Whether you have money or not, you have to go home for the New Year, and our family of three still got on the train home.
Since I came out to work, this is the first time I have gone back with my pockets bare, I am thin-skinned, I don't want to tell my relatives and father about it, and I will pass by when others ask me.
But how can you hide such a big thing from your father?
When he saw that our family was worried and listless when we came back, he already knew the general idea.
He quietly pulled me aside and asked me to sell the potatoes harvested in the field with him in exchange for some money for New Year's goods.
I thought that my father was too old to drag so many potatoes, so I didn't suspect it, and I rushed to the market with my father with a few bags of potatoes.
After going to the market, my father's actions made me very suspicious.
He sold all his potatoes to the vendor at a low price, and then dragged me down the alley.
I looked puzzled, I didn't know what my father meant, so I could only follow his meaning.
As a result, my father went directly into a small gold shop, and after a while, he held a dozen yuan in his hand, estimated a few thousand yuan.
Then he took out a few crumpled pieces of money from his bosom, rubbed them together with the dozen money, and handed them to me.
Come on, your business has collapsed this year, I know you and Kasumiko are in a difficult situation now, this is the money you bought for the gold you bought me before, and some of the money I saved myself, let's take it to you in case of emergency. ”
I was reluctant to take the money, which was almost all the money of my elderly farming father.
Later, my father insisted on giving me the money, and I had to agree.
I have been working hard outside for so many years, and my father has always stood behind me silently to support me, and when I had some money, I couldn't be filial to him.
Now that my business has failed and I have lost money, my father has used all his money to help me.
No matter what time it is, your father will always be your strongest backing.
