MTL - My 26-year-old Female Tenant-Chapter 664 : The troubles in daily necessities

After cleaning up the chestnut shells after eating, I closed the door of the coffee shop and drove to the city with Mi Cai, and this is the beginning of this rare night for us, we went to eat first Spicy grilled fish, and then I went to the cinema with popcorn and Coke, enjoying the rare relaxation... I remember, when we were in Suzhou, let alone watching movies, it was all about having a meal together Extravagant, whenever Mi Cai comes home, I already prepare supper for her.

  In Xuzhou, although we have lost our wealth, we have a lot of leisure time. In fact, this kind of life is not bad for us who gather less and leave more!

The quality of the blockbuster is very high. We have been immersed in the compact plot and gorgeous pictures, and we seldom talked until the film calmed down. At the end of the film, Mi Cai asked me: "Zhaoyang, what do you think? How about the film?"

"I think in addition to the gorgeous special effects, we should also see the human pursuit of civilization in the plot... However, as shown in the film, human beings created civilization, but also destroyed it... ..I think human beings are like machines created by a higher civilization. The virus is the virus in the machine, and it is still an indestructible virus. That's why there are so many destructive wars in this world, I think , the core expressed in this film is to hope that human beings can keep their own civilization, and don't let the virus of ** destroy our living space..."

Mi Cai nodded, and said: "I think so too, but even if human beings are extinct, it is hard to guarantee that there will be creatures similar to human beings appearing in hundreds of millions of years, constantly creating and destroying civilization... .”

  I smiled: "So, we all live in reincarnation, but lost our former form and consciousness in reincarnation...."

  Mi Cai grabbed my arm, laughing harder than I did: "The more you talk, the more sci-fi..."

   "Who told us to watch science fiction movies! ... But we have seen so many content other than movies, so our spending on watching movies is more valuable than others!"

   "Are you comforting yourself?"

  I was a little surprised, and asked back: "How do you understand this?"

"I'll do the math for you. Breakfast for the two of us this morning cost 15 yuan. I bought chestnuts at night and spent 20 yuan. Dinner cost 168 yuan. I spent 300 yuan on gas for the car before watching a movie. Watching a movie Another $126 was spent, so the total outlay for the two of us today is $629...”

   "There are so many?"

  Mi Cai nodded with a serious expression, and replied: "It's seriously overspending!"

  I also realized that I was overspending, and said with emotion: "It's really a life of daily necessities! But the gas fee cannot be fully counted in today's account, after all, it is enough for us to drive for many days..."

   “That’s overrun too!”

  I rubbed my nose subconsciously, and then asked in Mi Cai's ear, "By the way, how much is your monthly salary from Orson Advertising?"

   "You only ask when you are aware of the crisis, have you never thought about controlling your consumption before?"

   "I admit it, but you haven't mentioned the salary that Orson advertised for you."

   "3800 basic salary, plus performance commission."

  I couldn't calm down immediately: "Damn it, such a dishonest salary.... After working for a month, it's not enough for you to buy a set of cosmetics!"

   "In your Xuzhou, don't assistants all get a salary of about 3,000 yuan?...Mine is already considered high!"

I subconsciously pulled out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it. Mi Cai’s current salary is really bad, such as cosmetics. I know, but the cost of maintenance used to be at least tens of thousands per month...Although she is naturally beautiful, she also needs maintenance! And she is used to that kind of consumption. For women, the reduction in cosmetics consumption is undoubtedly the most painful change.

  At this moment, I finally felt the troubles in daily necessities. I only hated myself for being too profligate in Suzhou. If I could bring hundreds of thousands back to Xuzhou, I wouldn’t have to be so embarrassing now, at least I could last for a while.

Mi Cai and I went to the underground parking lot to retrieve the car, as if we had lost the good mood we had just now, and we were both silent along the way... It wasn't until we were about to return to the community that I said to her: " Let's not have too much psychological pressure, let me tell you first, I will definitely work hard to make money in the future, not to mention anything else, at least guarantee your previous living standard."

  Mi Cai smiled and said, "You don't need to be so deliberate, I can support myself within my salary range...you just need to make your own coffee shop."

  I was silent for a long time before replying: "I don't want to wrong you..."

   "How can I not be wronged?"

  I am speechless. In fact, it has been a kind of grievance since she and I returned to Xuzhou. Our choice is destined to make her sacrifice a lot.

  Mi Cai comforted me: "It's okay... In the future, when your coffee shop runs smoothly, our life will be much more relaxed, and my current job is only temporary."

I seemed to regain some confidence, nodded and replied: "That's true... I think it will be easy for us to live a petty bourgeoisie life in Xuzhou after everything is on the right track... But, we are Isn't it a little too bold, just throwing everything in Suzhou clean, in fact, I haven't made any real preparations in my heart!"

  Mi Cai shook her head and said, "Zhaoyang, let's not talk about life in Suzhou...you don't have to regard me as the former Mi Cai."

Her words made me very distressed, but I didn't say anything more, I just held her left hand and looked at the somewhat sluggish winter outside the car window... I really don't like this winter, it's falling Too much snow has also made me lose too many things. I can't wait to see the spring blossoms in the coming year!

  ...

After parking the car and going upstairs, I opened the door softly, afraid of disturbing my father and mother, because it was already late at this time, but I didn't think they hadn't rested yet, sitting in the living room watching TV programs, But it's more like waiting for us.

   Sure enough, my mother turned off the TV and said to us, "Are you back?"

  I replied: "Well, why haven't you guys slept yet, it's almost 11 o'clock!"

   "Isn't this waiting for you? ... But why did you come back after playing until now?"

   "Going to the movies..."

  Mom nodded and said to us again: "Don't wash up and rest, I have something to tell you with your father."

  Mi Cai and I glanced at each other, and we both saw doubts on each other's faces, but we still sat down on the sofa opposite them, waiting for them to talk to us about something serious.

Ban Dad coughed, obviously a little embarrassed, and my mother was very open-minded, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, I have to tell you something, you will soon have to pay the property fee for the house over there, as well as the heating fee , the miscellaneous expenses add up to more than 6,000 yuan. Also, at that time, the house decoration was not enough in the later period, and your father also paid 50,000 yuan. We summed it up. You and Xiaomi are already financially independent. This money Can you give it back to us?"

  I was dumbfounded... I never dreamed that my biological parents would talk to me about the money for house renovation when I needed money most!

   Seeing that I didn't answer, my mother asked Mi Cai again: "Xiaomi, you said we should get back the 50,000 yuan for the renovation, should we or shouldn't we?"

Mi Cai showed a look of embarrassment, obviously she was also worried about our current financial ability, and there was no way to pay the money, I finally took the conversation and said: "You are talking about this money now to embarrass us on purpose, right? ...where do we have so much money now!"

My mother said: "We really are not embarrassing you. Look at Qin Hao at Aunt Zhang's house next door. He is about the same age as you. They spend their own money from buying a house to decorating it. The old couple is much more relaxed. Besides, the country does not advocate gnawing on the old now, and your father is not a rich man, so it is reasonable for us to get that money back?"

   "That's what I said, but there's no need to choose this time to talk about this matter, right?...It's not like you don't know our situation."

Ban Dad finally opened his mouth and said: "We want this money from you, just want you to understand that there are thorns everywhere in ordinary life, some thorns are beyond your imagination, Zhaoyang, you should think about it carefully, Should the money be returned to us...how are we going to pay it back?"

Ban Dae told my mother to go back to the house to rest, but the pressure was really piled on me, and I can be sure that it was Ban Dae's idea to ask for this money, because it was different from his previous advice to me. Coincidentally...he just wants to put pressure on me in life. In his eyes, I am a lazy horse. I need to raise the whip and whip it up and down from time to time before I can run. ...But what I still can't understand is, what height does he want me to run to?

and I? Is it a kind of cowardice after being hurt to run this coffee shop that contains my own creativity? Or, what kind of big business can I do in Xuzhou?

In fact, I am just competing with myself. If I want, I can get a large amount of investment from the current circle of friends to start some serious businesses. There is such a move... From this point of view, is the ordinary life I pursue really a deliberate avoidance? Or, it was Ban Dad who was wrong this time?

I'm a little tired, a little depressed... subconsciously lit a cigarette for myself, leaned back on the sofa, closed my eyes and smoked... Today, the life of daily necessities that has just begun Gave me a lot of worries and doubts.

But I am really empty now, and I don’t know what kind of mentality I should bring to do the kind of big business that others place high hopes on. If I really choose to do it in the end, then I will give up the company Luku, which is not a big move. ? And why should I go back to Xuzhou?

  Under the many problems, I am a little messy! ......At this time, there was a pot of hot water under my feet, which was the footwashing water brought by Mi Cai. I once again experienced the warmth of ordinary life. Could it be that we live so simply? Come on, is it really bad?
