Chapter 4 Section 4

Smoking a cigarette, blowing the evening wind that lost its temperature, the moisture in the corners of his eyes gradually dried up. The bladder was empty, but Youchen's footsteps were still heavy.The left hand tightly grasped the bottom of the belt, and there was a faint throbbing pain in the lower abdomen, which was probably the sequelae of holding back urine for too long. The thin off-white light of the street lamp dragged the shadow on the ground longer and longer. On the way to the convenience store, you passed a telephone booth, Youchen kept walking, but his head was lowered even lower.

The wife and daughter at home must be worried about his whereabouts.Sorry.Really sorry. The more guilty you feel in your heart, the less youchen subconsciously wants to go home and face it. Perhaps this is a small right for a seriously ill patient to exile himself? I couldn't help coughing dryly again. Maybe it was because the night wind was getting colder, but this time Youchen coughed for almost a minute before barely stopping it. "How should I tell you, I only have three months left to live?" Youchen lowered his head in a daze. Fang Lin is only in the second grade of elementary school, and there are many, many three months waiting for her in the future.

It suddenly occurred to me that Fang Lin had been pestering herself for the past few months and said that she wanted to raise a puppy. She acted like a baby and cried, saying that no matter how small the dog was, she wanted to have a dog that belonged entirely to her. My puppy must be called Da Vinci, not the painter Da Vinci, but her favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Da Vinci. He said no, of course not, the apartment is so small, the dog doesn’t have enough space to move around, of course he will be unhappy, and if the puppy loves to bark and the neighbor protests, he will have to worry about sending the puppy away. Lin, you have to cry again.

"Have a dog...a dog named Da Vinci?" Youchen looked at the shadow on the ground. cough. After three months, there will be a lot of space in the house, maybe I can really raise a dog. The wife took Fang Lin alone... plus the picture of a dog living together, just imagining it made Youchen's nasal cavity sore in an instant. Life is the sum of a series of responsibilities. But only a month and a half ago, an insurance middle school classmate came to him to see what kind of business he could do. Everyone has been out of the society for so long, and meeting an old classmate who sells insurance also saves a lot of unnecessary small talk that everyone knows well, and directly enters the theme of what you sell and what you buy.At that time, the old classmate was selling a life insurance that combined medical insurance and cancer insurance. Youchen, who had nothing insured except for the compulsory motorcycle liability insurance, was very tempted, but after deducting the mortgage and some necessary daily expenses from the monthly salary of 28,000, only There are 3,500 yuan left to use.

I don't know when it started, Youchen secretly wanted to change to a Honda Accord for a long time, try the high horsepower of the 2.0, and smell the rubbery smell of the steering wheel that is unique to new cars.Every day when I go to work, I will secretly open Honda’s car catalog and read the Accord’s new car information repeatedly.The white one is good...the red one is also very eye-catching. If the 3,500, which can barely be called a surplus, is used to buy insurance, the new car will be out of the question. Unable to make a decision for a while, Youchen frowned and said, "I'll think about it."

"What else are you considering? Youchen, to be honest, insurance is not a question of whether you like it or not. It is a responsibility, a commitment, and an arrangement to take care of your family." "...mainly a matter of budget." "Of course it's a matter of budget, it just depends on how you arrange your budget." "I don't have much money to buy insurance every month, and my wife usually doesn't work." "Old classmate, you don't have to buy new shoes, you don't have to wear new clothes, you can watch two movies less every month, and go to a restaurant once less, because those are dispensable luxury expenses, but insurance is different. Insurance Part of the spirit lies in your risk assessment of your own illness, and more meaning is that because you are very important to your family and the main source of income, you should be more careful to help your family assess the risk of losing you. If You are seriously ill, in addition to the lack of income, your family has to take care of you, and you need a sum of money for medical treatment..."

Although he agrees with the importance of insurance from the bottom of his heart, Youchen really hates the words of insurance salesmen who smuggle "guilt" into "responsibility", implying that if he does not buy insurance, he has no sense of responsibility for his family. In the end, I said more than 20 times to think about it, leaving only a stack of insurance materials and a business card. If I hadn’t been blinded by the desire to buy a new car and bought the medical insurance policy, I would have been able to selfishly focus on being sad for myself instead of worrying about the family who lost their financial support. owe.

He remembered that one night, he found Fang Lin crying alone at the desk. "Handling, the subtraction of more than one hundred is so difficult." Fang Lin said with red eyes, "Can I not learn?" "It's okay, don't worry." This is what Youchen said: "Guaranteed, you will find it very easy in a month." He also patted Fang Lin's head and told her to go to bed first and then do it tomorrow. After subtraction, it is multiplication. A month later, it was too late to hear that Fang Lin had really learned multiplication... An empty beer can lay sprawled in the middle of the sidewalk.

But Youchen didn't have the slightest motivation to kick it.
