Teacher Miao is my nephew’s class teacher.
Old teacher.
Both husband and wife.
My son is studying in university in Qingdao.
My cousin is a rural woman. She wanted to give something to the teacher, but she had never been out and didn’t understand the rules, so she sent the things to me. I hope I can help send them and talk to the teacher more. Let’s talk and see if there are any problems with the child. Ask the teacher to take more care of the child and spank or scold him when needed.
Teacher Miao, I’m not familiar with you either.
Being in the same system can only be regarded as acquaintance.
In my impression, he is the kind of very upright person. The so-called uprightness means that he is well-dressed and wears formal clothes most of the time...
What a coincidence. .
When I went to the family courtyard of the school, I happened to meet Teacher Miao downstairs. He was drying quilts. The school teachers seemed to have the habit of drying quilts, and there were a lot of wires stretched out in the square.
Anyway, how would you describe your first feeling?
I feel that this quilt does not match the image of Teacher Miao very well.
This quilt is a bit like the cotton quilt in rural families. Of course it is not very dirty. It can only be said to be a bit old. In the past, rural people's quilts really lasted a lifetime, and the cotton in them for several years was no longer there. After gathering together, find someone to process it. Didn’t you see the writing on the wall in the countryside: To process quilt covers, the phone number is XXXX.
It seems that Teacher Miao is also from a rural background.
Teacher Miao’s home is on the fifth floor. There is no elevator, so it took me a long time to climb...
As soon as I opened the door, I saw that it was a standard rural home. My sister-in-law’s bra was still hanging on the sofa, and the style was a bit different. I am old, I must have worn it for many years, and the edges of the suspenders are fuzzed. They should have been white originally, right? It's already a little yellowed.
Tell me to sit down.
I will sit down.
I looked at the coffee table. There was a mess under the coffee table, including screwdrivers, pencils, poker...
What about the coffee table?
I haven’t had time to clean the bowl after eating. It seems like the noodles I ate in the morning? The key is that the bowl is still missing a little bit of mouth, and the bowl is of a rural style.
It’s just that I don’t feel that the whole family is “modern” at all, which is inconsistent with their income.
I asked in what year was this house bought?
It’s 20 years old. It cost 18,000 yuan at the time, but it’s worth 200,000 yuan now.
Let’s call it disappointing, but that’s not to say disappointing.
My expectations for him are too high. I think his home should be very modern and clean based on how he usually dresses. I didn’t expect it to be like this. It’s just a bit of a contrast. The income of the two of them is really not that big. Low, how can the two of them earn 200,000 a year? What's more, when you are a class teacher, you receive a lot of gifts, big and small, throughout the year. I once asked the child of a class teacher in an experimental class how much money he received during the New Year? Said it was more than 20,000.
Of course, Teacher Miao’s messy home is not an exception.
The situation in my sister’s family is similar. I classify this phenomenon as the second generation of farmers. They just started to move to the city and entered a transformation period. However, due to limited income and limited thinking, everything The starting point is to live a good life and save money, so even if you have a good status, you still live in the countryside.
It is impossible to talk about the taste of life!
I didn’t care much about my nephew. I just gave him the gift. But Teacher Miao was very concerned and told me like a machine gun to pay attention to this. Then, he also said that this child has puppy love behavior...
I kept nodding and said, yes.
After sending it off, I called my cousin and told me that I had delivered it. The teacher said he was very grateful and praised the child for a long time, saying that the child was very obedient and had a bright future. He should work hard and pass the exam. Two books are no problem.
My cousin expressed her gratitude.
On the way home, I was thinking about a question. In fact, rural habits are not harmful. You just live according to the way you like. The country advocates eating less salt. It doesn’t matter if you eat pickles every time. , as long as you like it.
However, rural thinking is the scariest thing.
It will make you go around in circles in your own class, which is what I wrote about fate before. What does the abbot mean by fate? Fate is that people are caught in the whirlpool of their own thoughts and actions, spinning and spinning, and the more they spin, the harder they can get out.
I remember that when I first started making fixed investments, I always lost money.
It must have been a loss for most of the year. From July 2018 to January 2019, it was a loss. By February 2019, it started to make a profit, and it became a positive profit of 50,000 yuan.
My sister called me, meaning you finally made money, take it out quickly, just 50,000.
My dad also holds this view.
It means that stock trading is gambling. How can you play this? Our life is neither good nor bad, but don’t get involved in gambling...
They all advised me to quit.
I agreed wholeheartedly, but I didn’t back out.
I have my own logic, but they don’t. They only have fear. At that time, my junior sister and junior doctor both found me and asked me about financial management. My point of view is that there is no future in stock trading. Stable, just invest in a fund, choose a reliable fund manager, and take a long-term view. The so-called long-term is ten or eight years, and there will definitely be very good returns. I recommended them to buy Xingquan, which was a good deal. At that time, one share was less than 8 cents. money. (It’s close to 1.2 yuan now)
The little doctor bought 300,000 yuan. The 300,000 yuan was the settlement allowance given by the county when she got married. She didn’t need it. I told her so at the time. If it's more than a year, I'll reimburse you whatever the compensation is, but there's a prerequisite, you can't move around.
She agreed.
Now these 300,000 have become more than 400,000.
The junior sister works part-time as a micro-business person and doesn’t like such a low rate of return, so she doesn’t enter. However, because she went to open an account, the scammer used WeChat precision marketing and took her to speculate in futures or something. What the hell, not only didn’t she make any money, but she lost more than 200,000 yuan. I kept asking her, why didn’t you ask me? She said, I know you will definitely object if I ask you...
Be killed by the pig plate.
After the killing, my mood was very unstable. I wanted to get angry with everyone I met. I was blocked no less than 10 times.
If you are greedy, someone will be waiting for you.
My sister also has 300,000, can I let her buy it?
No!
Even if I hold her down and let her buy it.
Either she sold as soon as it fell; or she danced around and secretly increased her position, eventually investing her entire family fortune in it.
It’s just that she is not a qualified investor.
99% of people are potential gamblers and are the main transport force of bullets in the stock market. Only those who can implement an anti-gambling layout can be regarded as investors, and investors are also betting. But the bet is on a high probability, which is both fundamental and humane.
Why is Little Doctor suitable?
First, she doesn’t understand anything.
Second, she believes in me, absolutely trusts me.
Thirdly, she comes from a good background and doesn’t think the money is big.
Yesterday, the inexplicable popularity of standing broomsticks was all over the circle of friends. In fact, it was like opening a window for everyone, allowing others to peek into your home and your life.
You don’t need to look at anything else, just look at the seams in the floor to know what stage you are in in life.
A word about quality life.
What is the first thing we think of?
Be rich!
Yes, you need to be rich. In fact, there are many rich people in the county, but why are so few people able to live a high-quality life?
The reason is.
Backward habits and backward thinking!
I thought about it carefully, and in fact there is another point that is also very important, that is, the aesthetics of each of us are left to us by our parents. We have only lived in our parents’ homes and in school. We rarely go to friends’ houses and don’t know what beauty looks like. For example, we have never seen a dishwasher or dryer. How can you ask us to buy them consciously?
We have never sat on the toilet you said you don’t have to wipe your buttocks on, so how could we possibly like it?
Everyone is closed.
Once during a class, a student asked the teacher a question: What are the specific manifestations of poor people’s thinking?
The teacher said that everything should be cost-effective, which is what parents often teach their children, we don’t want that, that is too expensive.
At that time, as an observer, I thought this statement was too far-fetched, but after thinking about it carefully afterwards, it actually made some sense. For example, the villagers asked me to help them choose a house, and the one I chose for them ended up being Neither of them bought it. At the same price, we can only buy 80 square meters in our community, but we can buy 130 square meters in other communities. In the end, we chose the 130 square meters. I talked to him about property, management, and appreciation, but it was useless.
Needless to mention others, my sister is an example. I helped her get all the keys and finally returned the money. At that time, housing prices were relatively low. It was a buyer’s market and one was picky. I didn’t look at this. What if the house price suddenly rises if I don’t like that one? I hurriedly chased the increase and spent an extra 500,000. Now I am trapped, the house has not been paid, and the house price has fallen again.
Can I make the decision for her?
If it were my younger brother, I would make the decision for him.
Sister can’t do it.
Because the head of my sister’s family is my brother-in-law.
A brother-in-law is a brother-in-law.
I wrote a sentence before, what is taste?
Let the best enjoyment become a habit!
Only by experiencing it can you understand life better. After flying in first class, you will no longer want to fly in economy class. You have also entered a new aesthetic, including the decoration in the waiting room, cups, The dishes, including the clothes of the service staff, are all training your aesthetics.
It is easy for us to enter inertia, that is, inertia. As we live, we become more and more like our parents. My father steals the water from the heater every year. I criticize him every time he goes there, and even I I took the initiative to report him and asked the property manager to discipline him, but the property manager was embarrassed.
This year during the Chinese New Year, I went to my parents’ house to play.
My dad said that this year, the water in the heater was not drained even once.
I said, it’s good. If you want to use hot water, just use it. Water and electricity are all tied to my Alipay. You don’t need to think about saving or anything like that. You just use the TV. It’s okay to leave it on every day.
He said, your mother won’t let you.
No matter what I do, I always focus on saving. There is a list on the coffee table, a pair of cotton shoes, 29 yuan. I also posted on WeChat Moments that my mother went to the supermarket to buy them.
Before this, I just gave them 20,000 yuan in cash and asked them to buy something for the New Year.
I have told you to buy things based on what you like.
Don’t think about price.
However, it is difficult for them to cross this threshold...
The wealth is worth it. Maybe it is as my father said. He thinks one million is not a big sum of money. This should be his To be honest, after all, he has seen and experienced it, but when it comes to consumption, he still has the poorest thinking mode.
Always want to save.
What did you save it for?
I don’t care about your two cents, so why do you always expect me to be in trouble? Do you think you'll save me when I'm finished?
You have thought too much.
When I'm done, I won't need the money.
The teacher asked a question in class: There are a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator, some are fresh and some are rotten. Should I eat the freshest ones first or the rotten ones first?
Most of them chose fresh ones.
The teacher said that this is the difference between questionnaire surveys and real life.
In real life, most people choose to eat the rotten food first, and then eat the rotten food all the time. This is also the thinking of the poor, so how to transform the thinking? Take the initiative to stop losses and throw away the rotten ones, so you can always eat fresh ones.
Isn’t this simple?
Sounds simple.
It’s too difficult to do.
I don’t eat anything from my parents’ house until it’s rotten.
Teacher Zhao Defa once told me that there are advantages to living in a small city, which is that you are more familiar with the world and have a more three-dimensional view of people and things, which is helpful for becoming a writer. However, it also has disadvantages, that is, it is easy to be To assimilate, you should look at yourself beyond the geographical limitations from time to time and ask yourself if you have also integrated into this pattern?
In other words, we must look forward to the future at every turn.
Can our quality of life be improved?
For example, can I choose a better car? Can I choose a bigger house? Can I choose a more comfortable bed? Is it possible to choose a high-tech toilet? Is it possible to choose a bathtub with massage? Can the sofa be made softer? Can I choose a Siemens washing machine? Should I choose an open kitchen? Should there be an aunt at home? Do you need to hire a driver? Does the office need a secretary? Could my figure be better? Do you want to learn how to dress? Do you want to make annual travel plans?
Can my wife be replaced by a better one?
If you think about it, you will feel that life is really beautiful, especially when you have free time, go to those villa model houses and sigh, this is what you call home.
You have to know what is better.
You must have this upward attitude.
Instead of living in inertia, forget it, this is good...
The four words "hardship and simplicity" are actually poisonous, causing us to enter a strange circle, such as How do many people buy stocks?
Buy whichever is cheaper.
This is actually a reflection of inner choice.
In fact?
Which one is more expensive is the right one to buy. Do you think Moutai is expensive? One share is more than 200 yuan, which is sky-high. But what about some stocks? One share is only 1 yuan. This is your fantasy. Moutai may fall from 200 yuan to 100 yuan, which will be cut in half. What if a stock worth 1 yuan rises to 50 yuan? It’s doubled 50 times.
What’s the result?
Moutai went from 200 yuan to 1,200 yuan.
And your 1 yuan became 50 cents.
Turning this corner is also a sharp turn for rural children. The whole person will be on a higher level, including playing ball. Usually the ball that everyone plays is 65 yuan a tube, and one ball can be used. After two or three games, I went to Shenzhen and found that everyone was either using Hongchao or Yonex. The stability and durability of the entire ball were higher than the 65 yuan ball we usually used, so I also switched to Yonex. Si, one Yonex can be worth two 65 yuan, so think about it, why not use Yonex?
It feels better, but the cost is about the same as the 65 yuan one.
Why can’t everyone turn this corner?
I feel that Yonex is expensive, more than 100 per tube.
This is a strange circle.
A bit like which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Did you choose this way because you have money, or do you have money because you chose this way?
No conclusion.
Another point is that taste is relative and a comparative level. You cannot always compare yourself with the wealthy people in Dubai or compare yourself with the British royal family. That is also inappropriate. It is a step-by-step process. For example When you live in a rural area, other people's homes are messy, while yours is relatively clean. This is taste. Others listen to "Love Business" and you listen to "Butterfly Lovers". This is also taste. If you don't listen to "Moonlight Sonata" at home, It's not necessary, after all, we can't reach that level of appreciation.
That is to say, we not only need to know what is good, but also what is good about it.
This is called taste.
What does aesthetic correspond to?
Appraisal of ugliness.
There is a threshold for aesthetics, which requires a certain amount of aesthetic accomplishment and life experience. For example, when my dad and I choose floor tiles, we will definitely choose completely different tiles. I think I am better than my dad. Aesthetics is several levels higher than him. I have learned more than him and seen more than him.
In the past two years, ugly criticism has become more and more popular. For example, on Douyin, those from rural areas, slovenly people, and even those who are extremely slovenly can become Internet celebrities, such as those who say "fuck you, heartless" The second brother, a person who had a hard time even surviving, became popular overnight, and his teeth were almost gone. They were burnt and browned as if they had never been brushed. Whenever he appeared on camera, he was almost in a state of drunkenness.
Human beings are born to hate ugliness, so why is there a group that criticizes ugliness?
Because aesthetics has already defined the middle and upper classes.
Since you can’t compete in this aspect, then go against it and rebel and provoke the aesthetic standards. I am deliberately disgusting you.
So, progress is threefold.
1. Continuously learn new knowledge.
2. Make money continuously.
3. Continuously improve the quality of life.
Single progress is not real progress. Teacher Miao I wrote about is not an exception. It should be said that it represents the normal life of the grassroots, that is, the new rural life with an iron rice bowl, knowledge and income. , but the quality of life has not been greatly improved, especially during the holidays, look at the family banquet everyone posted...
Although we are very familiar with these scenes, we have been here since we were young. .
But when I see it, I still ask: Can this be eaten? !
So, back to the story, the Shanghai girl followed the rural boy back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. They broke up because of the New Year’s Eve dinner. At that time, public accounts especially liked to write about similar topics.
Everyone scolded the Shanghai girl.
If this girl has been white and rich since she was a child, there is no way she can hold hands with a rural boy. It is not a question of whether the boy is good or not, but daily habits are in conflict. It is impossible for a young man who wipes his nose with his sleeve to be fair and beautiful. of favor.
If the young man is really good, for example, the future big BOSS is the best among individuals, then even if the Shanghai girl he chooses is really fair and rich, he will tolerate this and will not leave in anger, let alone It’s time for food again, and some of the food smells bad. Aren’t the girls eating too much? For example, that Shaoxing stinky tofu.
A very simple question, would your girl marry a young man who grew up in a rural area? I didn’t take a shower for a week and wore my underwear front and back.
Why did you suddenly think of writing this?
Lao Xu asked me if he wanted to buy a car for his son, an SUV worth about 200,000 yuan.
I say, buying based on the sales ranking is the most suitable one.
He said that he wanted you to recommend one. He thought you understood it and wouldn’t need to replace it in ten or eight years.
I said, I really don’t understand. My suggestion is that according to the sales rankings, cars with a price of less than 500,000 yuan have no personality or feelings. Let’s come up with the most practical ones. , determined according to the market, what is easy to sell and what value is maintained.
He said, if you buy it yourself.
I said, for home use, I will not buy an SUV. If I buy an SUV for fun, I will buy a Jimny, but it is definitely not suitable for your child.
From the time my sister bought a house, I started a new model.
Just ask three questions and don’t know.
Don’t choose, don’t recommend, don’t express your opinion.
What do you think of me?
I have no objection.
Look at those real estate influencers who are all trying to popularize what kind of houses are good, so why are the bad houses also being sold?
Two reasons.
First, everyone’s aesthetics are different.
Second, everyone’s conditions are different.
I am a child from a rural area, and I still support my younger siblings in going to school. If I can spend 100,000 yuan to buy a loft and get married, that would be great. Why are you talking to me about the loft? Too sunny? Leaking?
Can I not know?
Why are there so many brands of cars?
Each brand has its own specific customers. If a certain brand or model can satisfy everyone, then there will be no problem of diversification. Apple mobile phones almost achieved this, but later it still Huawei and Samsung appeared?
Everyone can choose what they think is right at the moment.
I just think that there is one thing that Lao Xu is passing on, which is to be diligent and thrifty. For example, not changing cars for ten years, thinking this is a virtue.
Have you ever thought about it from another angle?
It also kills children’s imagination.
Why not try another way? Let him draw his own pictures, such as changing cars every two years. These young people who change cars frequently are not serious in our eyes, but they are often the best.
How to explain this?
What does it mean?
Our thinking model is wrong.
If it is right, why are we not the ones who succeed? !
In the past few days, I have felt this gap again. I joined a new car club last year, and I bought the Raptor through a group purchase with them. Everyone has more than three off-road vehicles. , the worst model should be the Land Rover Discovery 4. Everyone is a Discovery 4 driver at first.
What?
Isn’t the Land Rover Discovery 4 more expensive than the Big Raptor?
Yes!
However, performance is not of the same order of magnitude.
The performance of the Raptor is on par with the Big G, and is even more reliable than the Big G. Some of our car friends also drive Big G, and later they all participated in the Raptor group purchase.
With regard to the Wuhan epidemic, no one in the entire car club mentioned donations.
It seems that everyone has passed that novelty.
Some riders forwarded a few videos. How did they do it? Isn’t the community closed? Then, together with a few friends in the community, you donated potatoes and I donated rice, and then we delivered them door to door, just like Lei Feng, without leaving names. Later, the property management company made a short video.
My car friend donated 10,000 kilograms of rice.
This is so heartwarming.
It warms the hearts of neighbors and makes the whole community feel particularly cohesive.
Other than that, we are studying the modification of cars every day, including the fact that we have included the owner of the modification shop in the group, and we want to make targeted modifications in preparation for crossing the no-man's land in a few days. I was considered the poorest among them, so they were afraid that I would not give it up, so they offered to modify it for me, with an additional 170-liter auxiliary fuel tank, which means that each car can carry 300 liters on its own. Of course, I don’t need sponsorship if I really want to modify it, Wanduo Yuan, it doesn’t matter.
In addition, just studying maps, strategies, and recruiting team members, I generally feel that there is a lack of someone who can take pictures. Every time we go out, we have so much fun, but we are not popular. What about other people who play at a lower level? ? It’s popular on TikTok.
Of course, we each have many fans.
Especially female fans.
I am not the one with the most fans among us. I only have about 10,000, and they have 5 million. When I post a video of car washing, a group of girls will join me. Some ask me what to do with the license plate, and some ask me. Where did I buy the car? Some girls asked me if I dated online? I even wonder if he is a professional bartender?
What else?
Occasionally we secretly go for a swim in the river, and we make an appointment in the group. We go for a walk without anyone else and then go home. After all, it is a sensitive period, so it is usually A group of people told me: Understand, please don’t post it. If you post it, we will be sold.
I promise to the sky that I won’t send it.
I was so frustrated that I sighed in the group, "Oh my god, when can I go out?"
The man is attractive in his career, and his family is generally harmonious. We occasionally get together as a family, and women get along very well with women and men. Except for me, everyone seems to be very productive. , three or four in a lifetime.
In addition, they are all original partners.
Yesterday, a car friend suddenly came to me and talked about something. Idleness is also idle, why not make some contributions to society. Let’s set up a mask production line in the county. There are two advantages:
p>First, the entire epidemic should last for several months, and the gap in masks is still huge.
Second, we are currently in the green channel period. All kinds of approvals are green. Some mask factories have even not started construction of sterile workshops, but have already obtained the certificates. There is news as proof. A poor county.
A line was 200,000 years ago and is now 600,000.
80,000 masks can be produced every day, and the cost is about 3 cents. According to the current market, it can be sold for 3 yuan...
He is not analyzing the feasibility. , but everything was ready. He started working on it on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it was almost done. He wanted to be prepared with both hands, that is, three lines.
Donate one line, leave two lines.
As for the donated line, we need to find a suitable department to take over it. For example, after it is produced, it will be used locally first. It doesn’t matter whether there is a processing fee or not. But based on this, we can get it as soon as possible. Legal procedures, and upgrade step by step, from civil procedures to medical procedures.
How long will it take to get the money back?
As long as there are formalities, ten days is enough.
They want me to handle this matter, and let me talk to the BOSS, and then I will talk about it as a serious matter. The BOSS also have different opinions. Some think that if the price of masks has increased, the raw materials will also have to go up. With the increase, it is impossible to still have such a good profit margin, and it is definitely an oversaturated industry afterwards. There is also a type of BOSS who thinks that there is no need to do this. It is better to just do it quietly and just make this wave. When found, it will be illegal. Cost, if you insist on using a cooperative model? The result is that everything is on credit.
The whole thing really shocked me.
I seem to be very smart, but there are many things I just think about, but what about them? Then he acted immediately. Even if he didn't do anything now, he would still have a profit margin of 1.2 million by selling the equipment. He wanted some of them and lined up to grab them...
If the legality cannot be resolved, I will definitely choose to sell equipment.
Because everyone puts legality first.
What do you really want to get into? Use masks as an entry point to enter the medical production qualifications to make hand sanitizer. After this crisis, frequent hand washing will become a national habit. There will be a wave of opportunities for hand sanitizer. What hand sanitizer will people be superstitious about?
Medical grade!
The gap between people is too big. They will give you opportunities, share the pie together, and most importantly, they can always see new trends.
Postscript, this afternoon, we visited three local mask manufacturers, two of which are abandoned. It reminded me of what a friend told me some time ago, that Shandong is a big manufacturer of masks. Province, masks are a surplus industry, with daily output reaching 20 million. It is already very impressive for these companies to be able to continue to survive. For example, the three companies we visited either temporarily resumed work and were treated as dead horses, or their equipment was seized by the bank, and in one of them, someone just bought the equipment yesterday.
We wanted to go through the leasing procedures, not the equipment. We couldn’t contact two of the three legal entities, and they were all on the blacklist. After the visit, several of us came to the same conclusion: making money is a matter of Still depends on life!
What if you lived to this day? Maybe one Spring Festival can equal those of the past few years.
Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!
