Chapter 73 fourth quarter

Lawyers took home the recreational hobby of playing poker. In the apartment building of the Justice Bureau, the old Si lived downstairs from Luo Yang's house. After dinner, if he had nothing to do, he would often invite Luo Yang and his wife to their house to play poker.The game they usually play is "double rise", two decks of cards for four people, men and men, women and women play against each other.The two men are extremely smart, but when they play "double promotion", they often lose more and win less. Every time the two women have been promoted to the old K, they are usually still hovering at 3 or 4.At this time, Lao Si asked his wife Tan Meijuan to go to the window to see if the car downstairs was still there.If a woman is distracted, she won't win in one go.

"Look at the car, wife!" When he said this, the boss was full of confidence and confidence. Luo Yang smiled slightly, put the poker upside down on the table, and waited for the boss to return to "Shuangsheng" after he had already flown away. At the beginning of the year, the boss spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy a second-hand Santana, which was parked downstairs every day. On the one hand, there was no parking lot in the family area where they lived, and on the other hand, it also met his personal psychological needs.This made the old company with an annual income of only tens of thousands of yuan very complacent, thinking that he could always be on an equal footing with Luo Yang, who bought an Audi two years ago.In Lao Si's view, the superficial form of wealth is much more important than its real content. Although he often only eats shredded potatoes or Chinese cabbage, these "contents" are invisible to outsiders.The car parked downstairs made Lao Si more like a lawyer, and it also allowed him to find a lot of common topics with other barristers. He could even use it to teach the trainee lawyers working in the firm: "Do you want to be a lawyer without a car? Big sand city, run and break your legs!" Of course, the car parked downstairs also brought him additional troubles, for example, one night in summer, Luo Yang's car lost a taillight, and the old Si's The car once caused two children to break the windshield. Although the parents of the children lost money to replace the glass, he always felt that it was not as good as the original one.This caused Lao Si to sigh: "It's really inconvenient not to have a parking lot!" These things may not be considered anything.The most difficult thing for Lao Si to deal with is his wife.For example, every time the boss asked Tan Meijuan to go to the window to look at the car, she would say in a weird voice, "It's not like the thief has no eyes, so he stole your broken car!" Start to think seriously, now the home is not just a matter of swapping bicycles for cars.As the saying goes, peasants want to change their wives after overcharging three or five dollars. Now that the economy is developing so fast, it is an opportunity provided by the times. If the things that should be changed are not changed, how can the people of the whole country become well-off?Of course, such thoughts can only be secretly turned in the stomach.

Because of age and experience, Liu Xu is much smarter and more sophisticated than Tan Meijuan in this respect. "Let me take a look, and take a look at our old Luo's car." Liu Xu was talking, she had already stood up, and patted Luo Yang's shoulder affectionately.Although the couple had just finished arguing before going out. Seeing other people's love, Lao Si is really tired of his wife. Tan Meijuan is really not an outstanding woman.She has a mediocre appearance and a low education. She graduated from high school, and she got the job of selling tickets in the Cultural Palace because she took over her father's shift when Shacheng was popular.But one thing is that Tan Meijuan loved him back then, even to the point of admiration.This kind of love and marriage gave the boss a sense of accomplishment.He is willing to live with a woman who admires him, who can bring him confidence.There is no doubt that self-confidence is more likely to guide him to success.

Lao Si was born in an ordinary family of cadres. His father was a section chief of an official section of National Highway 312, and his mother was a civilian cadre at the municipal party school.Lao Si grew up in such a family, and his parents had high hopes for him, and he looked so young and handsome at that time.But he married Tan Meijuan, who was born as a worker and not outstanding, as his wife. They met while watching movies in the Cultural Palace.This made many people feel sorry for him, including his parents.When they got married, his father gave him only a token five hundred dollars to show their dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law.Tan Meijuan didn't care about these things, and happily married him.Just like a stockholder in the late 1990s felt that he had bought a blue-chip potential stock, and didn't care about the current gains and losses.For more than ten years, the two of them have worked hard on their own, and finally they have a decent home and that second-hand Santana.Later, the situation changed, and the change seems to have started when Lao Si bought a second-hand car.

But this cannot be blamed on Lao Si.The profession of lawyers is not easy to do like other professions, nor can anyone succeed if he wants to.For example, Lao Si, because his parents were disappointed in him and refused to help him, and he himself did not have many upper-level relationships to develop, he had to rely on himself for everything. In addition to adding a few dignified forehead lines on his forehead under the pressure of competition over the years, He didn't get everything he expected-wealth and status.It can also be said that Lao Si did not realize the expectations of Tan Meijuan when he invested in "potential stocks".A few years ago, Tan Meijuan was still able to encourage and help him with great enthusiasm and motivation, and did her best to pave the way for the old company's career.For example, the legal documents written by the old company are all transcribed by her.Although she is not highly educated, she can write beautifully with a pen.Today, when computers are highly developed, she still insists on transcribing all the documents and materials of the old company with a pen, and in duplicate, signed the name of the old company.She believes that such information has collection value.She did it on her own terms.She once heard that a manuscript by Ba Jin was auctioned for 800,000 yuan.She also heard that a modern poem written with a brush on the wall of a law firm is also worth 800,000 yuan. The poem was written by a down-and-out poet because he owed money to the law firm Pay off the debt with poems written in his own hand.It seems that all economic activities cannot ignore the infiltration of culture, otherwise, the economy will have no brilliance except copper stink; on the contrary, if culture loses the support and reference of the economy, it will have nothing to rely on, and it will not be sustainable.Although Tan Meijuan, who only has a high school education, can't fully understand such a serious question, she knows that Luo Yang, a well-known barrister in Shacheng, is also writing and publishing books with the materials he usually accumulates. Need some "culture" as the decoration of your life.Of course, the old company cannot lag behind.She meticulously transcribed and preserved materials for Lao Si, hoping that Lao Si’s collection would be worth far more than a book in the future, or that she not only hoped that Lao Si would be successful in the judicial field one day, but also hoped that he would be successful in other areas as well. .To put it simply, people have a mentality of comparison, and she hopes that one day the boss will surpass his colleague Luo Yang.This also explains why she always secretly competes with Liu Xu.

It seems that Lao Si can't wait for the realization of the invisible value that his wife designed for him.He began to compare himself, a little carried away, to successful people, some of whom indulged in trendy nightlife, clubbing, and women.The result of this is that their families cannot make ends meet.Especially after buying that second-hand car, he had more opportunities to escape from Tan Meijuan's surveillance. Lao Si regards his life of owning a second-hand Santana as the highest state of life, which makes Tan Meijuan feel that the man beside him is really hopeless—short-sighted, but she does not express due complaints.It's a bit like buying a lottery ticket. It's all about your own betting mistakes, and you can't blame others at all.Because she is essentially a kind woman who abides by women's morals. After marrying such a man, she feels that she should accept her fate.However, what if you don't accept your fate?Fortunately, she still has a high enthusiasm for buying lottery tickets, which has become another sustenance of her life.
