10. Heartbreaking memories(1/2)
It was the meal time, and the KFC store was bustling and it was hard to find seats.
This kind of foreign fast food has just emerged. For the rich, it may be disdainful. But for ordinary people living in the city, it is delicious.
Judging from the bustling store, based on the income of the city people, eating such a fast food is no longer a new thing.
But for workers like Gaoqi and other Tangcheng measuring tools, this fast food is still a high-end consumption.
The things that Gao Qi bought were just filled with a tray, which was just enough for him and Tao Jie to eat, but they spent more than 100 yuan.
This is equivalent to one-quarter of Takasaki's monthly salary and one-third of Tao Jie's.
Just imagine, after working hard in January, who would be willing to spend one-quarter or one-third of the income of January to have a meal?
If Takasaki didn't have the wealth that the Prophet felt first, he wouldn't have been willing to give up.
In order to save enough money to buy a house, Takasaki is frugal every day, smoking the most cigarettes and drinking directly. He also makes the cheapest dish in the factory canteen.
My younger brother is still in college, so his salary has to be handed over to his family, and the income of his parents is also very low.
The money he earned from selling silver dollars was more than 100,000, but he was not willing to spend a penny.
He wanted to give his wife the best home and the best wedding, which he owed his wife in his previous life.
Today, this is the first time he has spent this money for his wife.
Tao Jie waited for a long time before a couple left and occupied a train-style seat.
This kind of seat is face to face. You can sit two people on one side and have a one-and-a-half-meter-high chair backrest, which just blocks all the people sitting on the other side, forming an independent space.
There are also many people queuing up to buy things.
Tao Jie took up the seat and happened to see Takasaki coming out of the counter with a tray. She quickly stood up and waved to him.
When Gao Qi saw Tao Jie, he grinned and then took the tray to her.
In his previous life, he never came to the store with his wife to eat KFC, but he knew his wife liked it.
Whenever the factory sends bonuses or gets some money from other channels, he will sneak into the KFC store, buy a fried chicken bucket, or buy a chicken wing, put it in his arms, and then rush back home.
When I got home, the food was still carrying his body temperature.
The wife must blame him. Their money is of greater use, and eating is the most unpaid stupid idea.
Faced with his wife's blame, he just giggled.
My wife knew that he felt sorry for her and sometimes shed tears.
But my wife never eats it by herself. She always wants to eat it with him and pours him a glass of wine.
He refused to eat it, and his wife didn't.
The final result is that one person has half of it. You feed me a bite, I feed you a piece, eliminate this fast food with his body temperature, and drink a glass of wine.
Thinking of these things, remembering that his wife left me and never came back, Takasaki was often heartbreaking until he got himself drunk and never thought about it again.
Now, his wife is really back, and is truly by his side and in front of him. Apart from thanking God for giving him the chance to be reborn, he has no reason not to let his wife live the happiest life.
Tao Jie saw him bringing a full tray of food, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Don't you want to pass it?"
How could Takasaki not want to live? His good days have just begun!
He couldn't speak, but just smiled foolishly at his wife.
"We will have to spend a lot of money in the future," said his wife. "We cannot be as luxurious as others."
The wife will not blame others, this is the most serious way for her to express her dissatisfaction.
Takasaki found a reason: "It doesn't matter, my salary is higher."
"That can't be like this. I'm not a child, so you don't need to coax me."
The reason for high wages is untenable.
Tangcheng measuring gauge is not a cadre, but as a worker, there is no such thing as high wages.
"I, I understand maintenance technology, often go out to help others repair equipment, and earn a lot of money."
He finally found a reasonable reason.
Indeed, it was the eve of the country's entry into the WTO. Township and township enterprises had just emerged and could not afford new equipment. They were all used for old machine tools that were eliminated from state-owned enterprises.
Old equipment often has problems. They know that the workers in Tangcheng measuring gauge have high technical skills, so they often secretly invite them to use their spare time to repair equipment for them.
Takasaki often encounters such things. When others ask for help, he also goes to repair it.
But he is a honest person and doesn't know that he can't make much money by bargaining with others. He repairs the equipment once. Sometimes when he meets a boss who is unscrupulous, he will even owe him. He will not pay for various reasons and work in vain.
For others, this may be a way to make money, but for Takasaki, it is not.
However, this did not prevent him from fooling Tao Jie with this reason.
Tao Jie really believed his explanation and asked him: "How much can you earn when you repair equipment for others in January?"
Gao Qi planned to make money from buying a house in the future and holding a wedding. He simply made up his mind and bragged: "It's much higher than the salary. Sometimes, once the repair is done, people will give you more than a thousand!"
Tao Jie didn't believe it very much, but she knew that Gao Qi was honest and would not lie to her, so she was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Repairing equipment is very hard, and making money is not easy. In the future, we should not be so luxurious and use the money in the right place." Tao Jie said.
"As long as you buy something you like, you will be in the right place." Takasaki said.
Tao Jie lowered her head, smiled shyly, and felt sweet in her heart.
"I like so many things. Aren't we not allowed it?" she said, "Just this time, don't come here again, okay?"
Takasaki looked at his wife. When his wife was shy, she looked really good.
However, he could not agree to his wife's request.
After a while, he said, "Tao Jie, don't worry about money. For you, I will have a lot of money, really."
Tao Jie couldn't understand what his sentence meant.
It's just a half-dead factory, and the wages outside have doubled. They are still only getting their salary from a few years ago. Where can I go to make a lot of money? Are you robbing the bank?
"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while," she said.
He was still the same as before and refused to eat.
He didn't eat it, and Tao Jie didn't eat it, and in the end he just divided the land equally by one person.
The beautiful memory that once made him heart-wrenching finally came back and became reality again.
At this moment, Takasaki felt full of happiness.
Tao Jie was thinking about the various difficulties they would encounter in the future.
She graduated from a junior high school technical school and was assigned to Tangcheng measuring gauge. Her home is in another small town more than 100 miles away. Her parents are both working, have no ability, and have no relatives at home.
My parents also knew that she had a bad measuring gauge in Tangcheng, but there was no way to transfer her home.
Besides, Tangcheng is a prefecture-level city, and Tangcheng measuring gauge is near the city, which is better than their small town. People are looking forward to the adjustment, how can they call their daughter back?
So her mother thought of a solution that most people would think of.
If your daughter is good-looking, you can find a capable partner.
So, Tao Jie was resting and went home and was constantly arranged to go on blind dates.
The first one was working as a civil servant in Tangcheng. He was thirty, and his wife died and had a six-year-old daughter.
Tao Jie didn't meet and cried in front of her mother.
My mother also felt a little abrupt.
Second, the conditions are better. Twenty-eight, I worked as a teacher in a local middle school, and my mother was slumped in the bed and needed someone to take care of her.
The other party agreed that as long as it was done, he would transfer Tao Jie back and work in a state-owned enterprise with good performance.
Tao Jie didn't think that there was a patient at the other party's home to take care of her, but this way of introducing her and her eagerness for quick success and immediate benefits and urgent conditions made her unable to accept it.
She was not good at speaking at all, and this kind of transactional meeting made her feel that she was extremely humble.
When the two met, the other party said their promises, and there was nothing to talk about.
Then there is the third one and the fourth one.
More or less, they are all transactional. Tao Jie has a look, and the other party has capital. Use the other party's capital to exchange Tao Jie's appearance.
Girls are all in love with spring. She is a human being, not a commodity.
Tao Jie went to work in the factory on Sunday and didn't go home just to avoid such meetings.
Tao Jie is so fond of Gao Qi, but there is not much reason, because he beat the old motorcycle away for her, and was retaliated by the old motorcycle, injured and was admitted to the hospital.
The tall figure who blocked the gangster for her gave her a sense of security that she had never had before.
He will protect her. With him, no matter whether it is a gangster, other people, or leaders who bully others, they dare not bully her again.
From that time on, she began to pay attention to him.
However, compared with others, Takasaki was a little too honest and dull. When he saw her, he couldn't even say hello, and only knew that he blushed and smiled foolishly.
This is something she doesn't like.
