On the weekend, I went to my brother's house again.
My brother served as the Party Secretary in the town and manages the town's population of hundreds of thousands. In the words of the villagers, he is the "prince of a town" and the "local emperor" in the town. I like to go to my brother's house to play, and I like the feeling of being surrounded by others and being like a little princess.
My brother has already bought the dishes. During lunch, my sister-in-law brought a bowl of braised pork , a plate of spicy chicken , a plate of pork head meat, and a pot of cucumber, which was as rich as I used to go to his house.
My brother must have spent another money!
My brother saw through my thoughts, he smiled, and told me, "We eat this every day."
My brother must be used to eating delicacies, but he is really stingy. The living expenses he gives his parents are only about 200 yuan a month. I felt a little angry. My brother smiled without saying a word.
I learned to manage finance on the A platform. Financial management can make a lot of money! I told my brother excitedly and encouraged him to go to invest and manage finance with me. My brother smiled and refused flatly. He also advised me to withdraw from the A platform and not waste all my money. High financial interest! I don’t believe it, and I invested all the 200,000 yuan I earned from doing business after graduation into Platform A.
Winter is here, and I have also ushered in the first cold snow in my life - Platform A is "yellow". Overnight, I became a complete "pauper". I regretted it and cried all night.
My brother was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to think about it, so he went home specifically. He comforted me and said that he had arranged for the police from the town police station to try his best to recover my assets. I burst into tears and laughed, but my brother loves me!
My brother grinned and smiled bitterly, and I was careless and found nothing. Half a month later, my brother made 200,000 yuan in my bank card.
This year, it’s good to have a brother! I held the bank card and smiled happily, with a happy red camellia on my face.
It’s too hard and tiring to do business. I’m tired of this kind of life of “working at sunrise and resting at sunset” and “coming in the wind and going in the rain”. While my brother is still the "top leader" in the town, I have to find a reliable job quickly. The "iron rice bowl" and "maintain a bumper harvest when drought and flood" are like being a self-employed person who has not even a rest day all year round, ups and downs.
In the central primary school in the town, there is a lack of a math teacher. I can go in immediately if my brother says one thing. I went to find my brother excitedly. My brother said that the town party committee had already held a meeting to study it and asked Erya from our village to go to the central primary school.
"Why should I let her go?" I was not convinced.
"She was admitted to the school." My brother looked at me and sighed helplessly.
When I left, he gave me a set of textbooks and asked me to apply for civil servants in the county.
I was angry. Since my brother refused to help, I was too lazy to find him again. Besides, a man, "don't bow down for five dou of rice" - but I am not a man either, I smiled bitterly.
Since there is no way out, let’s do a big fight. I took the initiative to sprint for the college entrance examination and studied hard for a year. Finally, I was admitted to the county government. My brother was also transferred to the county town and served as the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health.
I am very dissatisfied with my brother and have nagged him a lot in front of my parents.
"My brother is rich, and his family's living conditions are very good. The couple is stingy and refuse to give you money to spend."
"My brother is not good to me, and he refuses to help me even if I find a job."
Dad and mother looked at each other secretly and said nothing.
My father passed away the year before yesterday at the age of 73. My brother didn't let me hold a funeral for my father, saying that the organization did not allow it, and I became new dissatisfied with him.
Last year, my mother fell seriously ill and I went to my brother's house to visit her. Before leaving, she took my hand and told the truth.
"When your brother was the secretary, his salary was very low, and he didn't have much money to respect us. He was teasing you, and those sumptuous meals were specially prepared for you.
"After you lost money, the 200,000 yuan you recovered was his own pocket, which was his savings for half of his life. Your sister-in-law had a fight with him, and the couple almost didn't divorce."
"But he refused to help me find a job!" I made a fuss.
"Your brother is a party member, he adheres to principles. Also, your brother said that the unit is too insignificant, so you have to apply for a government civil servant."
My brother's silly face appeared in front of me. He looked at me, still smiling at me without saying a word. My tears immediately burst into my eyes.
