Chapter 8 Aunt's Postmodern Life 8

--------------- Aunt's Postmodern Life 8 --------------- When you suddenly have money, should you buy a computer or do something else? Ye Rutang took a small book and did the calculation seriously.Everyone knows the financial situation of the aunt.After the divorce, except for her own clothes and books, she packed two boxes, and left all the property in Shenyang, a two-bedroom house and savings, to her husband.Originally, when she was in Shenyang, she won a prize of less than 10,000 yuan in the scientific and technological progress award of the unit, and left it to her daughter, saying it was used as capital for future education and marriage.In addition, it can be said that Ye Rutang returned to Shanghai empty-handed.

When she married Wu Han, she wanted to travel and get married, but she didn't realize it. She had no money, few photos, and no romantic memory left.Since returning to Shanghai and entering that compound, she has been living on wages, which are only a little higher than that of ordinary factory workers, and mental workers were not considered working class working people at that time.In addition, if she participates in a major research project and serves as a collaborator, no matter how much work the collaborator has done, she can get a minimum bonus of 100 yuan.As I said before, the nature of her work is a state secret, and the reform doesn't seem to bring her much benefit, and the money she earns is dead wages, so she gave up early on making extra money.Speaking of it, I blame her team leader for being stubborn. The research team that someone else set up later flirted with some companies and secretly asked her to help.Ye Rutang's parents had good financial conditions, but after his mother passed away, his father remarried and found a Ningbo old lady who was good at cooking, and thought that the eldest daughter had married once, and he didn't want her to come back to her mother's house to eat and drink.In this way, Ye Rutang can only eat his own food.When she retired, she received 1,500 yuan a month. After deducting the rent, water, electricity, and gas, and leaving about 300 yuan for meals, at least 200 yuan of net income can be sent to the bank.To most Shanghainese, this amount of money is nothing but money, but Ye Rutang has to make deposits in a savings bank once a month. She is ranked among the old men and women, and no one cares about her. She looks like an amazing woman. Like a strong man, no, Ye Rutang is a rich woman in the eyes of her neighbors, she has no worries and no burdens, and the whole family is not hungry when one is full.Look radiant, don't have a confident and self-reliant look.

That spring, that is, in 2000 at the turn of the century, came very early. It began to rain on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was not warm until the fifteenth day.Ye Rutang shrunk his hands and feet and felt listless during the Chinese New Year. He waited for the bank to go to work, queuing up with a frowning face and holding an umbrella. This time, he was withdrawing money, not one by one, but annihilated.Because the unit allocation house needs to be bought privately, each person must spend at least 60,000 yuan, plus decoration, at least 10,000 yuan.You think it's expensive, and some people say that you can earn money. You have to pay for the money by jumping off a building to sell blood, otherwise it will be even worse if you pass the last bus of the housing allocation.The house price is the bloody commodity price. If you don’t buy it, you will really have to sleep on the road in your later years.

Ye Rutang's life savings disappeared in the blink of an eye.The dense numbers on the passbook are like simple arithmetic exercises done by elementary school students, just like her love is all elementary love exercises. Now, she suddenly got a big wad of money from her sister, and she was very upset. She had the money for foreign aid, plus the amount Wang Yinda gave, and she originally planned to return it, but now she won't. On some, now you can buy a brand computer.At this moment, a strange idea came into his mind like a ghost.It was this idea that played a decisive role in Ye Rutang's choice.She didn't know whether it was good or bad, and she couldn't judge her relationship with Lao Wang with good or bad.In the dark, it seemed to be predestined, and she didn't understand why she had to make a bet, and she gambled once.At that time, she was devout like a believer, hoping that this money was not a sum of money that was immediately spent, but an opportunity given to her by God, the first pot of gold that was about to be invested in a new journey, the first hen to lay eggs.She wants to seize the opportunity to let money make money, and seize the possibility of changing the future.If things are really as she imagined, the life of my aunt's retirement will be rewritten.But the problem is that the opportunities and IQ that God gave her didn't help her in love, nor in making money.

Ye Rutang opened the drawer and took out the ring again.The gifts Wang Yinda brought back from Hong Kong, she remembered that Wang Yinda rarely gave her gifts, even though he himself went to luxury places in Shenzhen and spent a lot of money, it was all public money.His money and body are regularly handed over to the public rations for his wife.The day she refused the ring to death, he was embarrassed, so he kept it.Ye Rutang didn't need any necklaces and rings. She secretly wore them on her hands and looked in the mirror a few times, and put them on her ring finger and middle finger. Neither finger looked the same, which was awkward.She generally understood that gold rings were very expensive, at least thousands of yuan, so she couldn't accept his things for no reason.When Ye Rutang met Wang Yinda, it was the most brilliant period of her life. She had a gorgeous and open body, and she was getting old. She deeply remembered that this man had been with her brilliantly and openly, even if it was only for a short time.This ring is like a full stop, a full stop in a relationship where there is everything and nothing.

Now that she has retired and walked out of the compound, she just realized how poor she is. This poverty stimulates her heart more than anything else.After years of education where money is like dung, Ye Rutang originally regarded ideal feelings as big as the sky.She despised money, but because she did not own a lot of money, her contempt was easily misunderstood and even despised. For many years, Ye Rutang ate the simplest food, wore the seemingly elegant but actually the cheapest clothes, and lived a dignified life.But she was suddenly afraid of being poor in old age, which was undoubtedly dark, helpless and desolate.She is sad for herself, no one in this world loves him like herself, in the past few decades, she has experienced so much, it seems that she should chew and savor the things of her life, but he swallowed them in a few big gulps, and she didn't have time to taste them The taste is excreted.In his eyes, the girl named Ye Rutang who was from a superior family when she was in college is now old and destitute, poor not only emotionally, but also materially.

Ye Rutang suddenly fell into despair, she wanted to cry.Holding the ring, she slid to the floor, almost prostrate on the ground, curled up in pain. //
