When people reach thirty, they are prone to a middle-aged crisis.
Because at this time, most of them are old and young and have small families.
Moreover, he is also burdened with housing loans, car loans, family expenses and so on.
And when people reach middle age, if they haven't worked hard to reach the position of supervisor or enter an important department, then the next thing they are waiting for is likely to be the crisis of dismissal.
People will be inferior to young people in all aspects by middle age.
Companies need fresh blood to survive in a competitive market.
So that's why most companies prefer to dismiss old employees instead of processing capital for them.
Would rather give newcomers a higher salary.
Because the company is determined that you have no courage to speak up and dare not to resign easily, so overtime, no salary increase, and daily insults from bosses and customers have become the norm for middle-aged crisis groups.
This society, where the cost of living is too high, is slowly domesticating men into weak rabbits that lose blood.
Lin Xing is 29 years old this year. He will be 30 years old when he finishes his new year, but he already has a middle-aged crisis when he is 29 years old.
He is just an ordinary small employee of a private enterprise, with a monthly salary of 4,000 after tax, and then has to support his family, pay rent, and spend money on food, clothing and clothing every day.
With such a total deduction, I can't save much deposit every month.
Lin Xing is now full of confusion about his future life. I do n’t know where to go?
Perhaps, when I went back to my hometown and became a small security guard, I earned more than 3,000 a month. My hometown also has an old house. By that time, I saved more money than I made in Beijing and Shanghai.
When Lin Xing dragged his tired body and walked out of the subway station after work, a heat wave rushed in. Although it is now in October, and the time is 7 o'clock in the evening, Nanyue is located in the subtropical area, and pedestrians on the road still wear it Shorts and short sleeves.
After leaving the subway station and not a few steps away, Lin Xing's back clothes were already wet with sweat.
The house that Lin Xing rented was more than two kilometers away from the subway, but he was reluctant to take a bus. After leaving the subway every day, he had to walk for another half an hour before returning to the rented apartment building.
This is an apartment building for some years.
The words of Jiangtian Apartment have long lost their luster and become black and black under the sun and rain.
Lin Xing lives on the fifth floor. The height is a little bit higher. Climbing stairs up and down every day can consume a lot of energy, but it is cheaper to rent in high-rise buildings.
This is an old apartment building.
When it was built that year, no elevator shaft was reserved.
Even if the elevator can be installed outdoors now, but the elevator installation costs hundreds of thousands of units, obviously no one will spend these innocent money on these tenants.
When Lin Xing climbed to the fifth floor, there was already some breathlessness. In the violent gasp, Lin Xing secretly smelled a smell.
But when he wanted to take a closer look at where it came from, he couldn't smell it again.
He didn't think much, and walked toward his door.
Because it was completely dark at this time, the corridor was slightly cold and dim, but Lin Xing, who had lived here for four or five years, did not feel any discomfort.
However, when he walked to the door of the house, he glanced at his door slightly, then took out the key hurriedly and slammed it shut after entering the house.
Lin Xingjia's doorway to the door was filled with a bowl of rice, with incense sticks on the rice, and a few incense candles lit on the ground.
This is a memorial service for the dead.
It seems that the door has just died recently.
As soon as Lin Xing entered the door, he saw his wife from the same country, and walked anxiously, handing over a pair of plastic slippers: "Her husband, is your company working overtime again today?"
"Her husband, you come back so late every day, I'm a little scared."
"My wife is sorry, because I have no skills. Not only do you have to buy food after cooking, cook food, but also leave you at home to wait for me to come back. I know that you are timid, and I am most afraid of darkness and Thunder, but leave you alone at home. "Lin Xing said blame.
The wife shook her head, the worries on her face did not diminish, and she said worriedly: "My husband, I am not worried about myself, I am worried that your husband will work overtime every day until you come back so late."
"You said that the old man's wife had been dead for more than seven days, and the first seven had passed, and every day he laid dead meals at the door of the house, lit incense candles, and said that he would wait for his wife to come back and listen to the dull."
"I always feel that the old man who lives in front of the door has some abnormal mentality. I am worried that your husband will come back so late every day, in case I encounter the old man with abnormal mentality ..."
Lin Xing laughed and said, "Don't think too much, wife, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke him."
But my wife was still worried and said: "But my husband still feels very scared. Otherwise, my husband will change a place to rent a house. Opposite the door of the house, there are people who die every day. When I go home from work every day, I always feel that the corridor is special. cool."
Lin Xing looked at his wife with some distress and hurried to appease: "Then I will look for these few days to see if there is any new suitable place for us to live in."
Although the economy is very tight.
But Lin Xing also knows that his wife has been timid since childhood, so she can only follow her wife's wishes.
Then ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lin Xing put on his wife's slippers and prepared to wash his hands and eat.
However, while his wife was cooking in the kitchen, Lin Xing, who had finished washing his hands from the bathroom, was curious to lie on the cat's eye behind the door when he passed the door, and looked at the resident opposite.
The door to the door is still closed.
No abnormalities.
"Did I hear it wrong? Just now I heard a noise in the corridor?"
It was at this time that his wife called him to eat at the restaurant, and the dishes were already hot. Lin Xing did not think about it any more.
After eating, Lin Xing helped his wife wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen waste, and then sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the urban soap opera.
Wall clock, time is jumping from second to second.
Just as Lin Xing was sleepy and slowly coming up sleepy, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang, waking up Lin Xing.
Who else will call so late? Lin Xing rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned to take out his phone from his trouser pocket. The caller ID was a series of strange numbers.
"Hey."
"็ Hello Who are you?"
Lin Xing answered the phone.
As a result, the handset was very quiet, and no one spoke.
"Hey? May I ask who you are? Why didn't you speak?"
Ticking.
Ticking.
No one should speak loudly in the handset, only the sound of water droplets.
Lin Xing shouted at the mobile phone a few times, and never answered him, only the sound of drops of water that made him puzzled.
Lin Xing thought it was a prank call and hung up directly.
"Husband, who is calling?" His wife asked Lin Xing concerned.
Lin Xing: "It's okay, it's just a prank call."
But in less than ten minutes, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang again, or the previous mobile phone number.
But this time there was still no human voice, only the strange sound of water droplets.
