Chapter 020 Shortage of Funds

Lin Jia and other unemployed young people are the children of the steel company where their parents are located. A large and medium-sized state-owned enterprise can support a large group of people beyond your imagination. Lin Jia and the others caught the last train of the policy. When they were in vocational high school in 1997, they had a "top job" quota in their parents' business at the cost of their mother's early retirement, which can be regarded as the son's inheritance of their mother's business.

So although Lin Jia, who is unemployed and at home, are idle, his parents are not too anxious about their future. They are nothing more than waiting for the old employees in the company to work as a honest worker after retirement. Chinese parents have always made their children's lives as appropriate as possible. This cannot be blamed on these kids being a little carefree. The laziness cultivated by tradition cannot be changed by one person or two.

Lin Jia, who had been sleeping for a whole day and a night, got up from the bed in a daze, wiped the sweat from her face, and found a wet mark on the mat that she had lying past. She pulled down the electric fan that she had stopped turning, and it was a damn power outage in the middle of the night!?

He was in the stage of sleepiness at this age, and he didn't sleep for another day and night. Lin Jia slept quite sweetly, and the stuffiness after the power outage failed to wake him up.

Although the weather at the end of September is no longer as painful as the dog days, the small town near the stove city of Wuhan is still so hot that it is unbearable. Lin Jia got up, took a shower, put on her clean trousers and sweatshirts. After looking around at home, she found that there was no one. Maybe my father went to work and my mother went out to buy vegetables, right?

I found a bowl of hot dry noodles left by my mother on the dining table and slapped it into my stomach. Lin Jia walked around at home and looked at the electronic clock on the wall showing the date of "2001.09.30". Lin Jia didn't know what to do at all. It seemed a little early to go out and wandered around until 8 o'clock in the morning. Generally, Lin Jia did not go out to wander until the afternoon.

But what are you doing at home? Watch TV? The current TV shows are so boring that they are disgusting!

Don’t you sleep any longer? Lin Jia, who had just slept for nearly 24 hours, couldn’t sleep anyway. She wanted to go out to the Internet cafe, but she didn’t have a penny on her and her parents were not at home. It was impossible for her to ask them for it with shame. Besides, she didn’t know if her two brothers were still “alive” now.

Lin Jia lay bored on the sofa. The stuffy heat after the power outage caused a lot of sweat to emerge from his body, which had just finished taking a shower. He rolled on the sofa a few times in annoyance. Lin Jia still couldn't help but think about the online game "Legend" he had just started playing. Although the three brothers had the advantage of leading level when they opened the zone, they had been sleeping for a day this time, and the level advantage was probably gone again. The only thing they could rest assured was that their equipment would not fall behind in the short term.

When Lin Jia thought of his ox B equipment, he couldn't sit still on the spot. He felt like hundreds of kittens were scratching. He then turned around and muttered: "Damn it! I don't have money to surf the Internet and can't go to the Internet cafe to watch others play?" At least there is air conditioner in the Internet cafe, right? Thinking of this, Lin Jia jumped up and ran to call to see if his two brothers and sisters were still alive.

"Du...Du...Hello!? Oh! Auntie! I am Lin Jia! Are you Hongbin? I'm looking for him to play! Oh! Yes! He is playing Sony game console at my house. I saw it too late and asked him to sleep at my house. He didn't tell you? Hehe maybe I forgot to play!? Well! Okay! I won't mess around outside! We just play basketball and surf the Internet... Well! Don't worry!" Lin Jia lies for the fourth child in cold sweat, enduring the nagging advice from the fourth child on the phone.

When the fourth brother answered the phone, Lin Jia lowered his voice and said, "Fourther brother! When you go back, you will be skinned in your room?"

The fourth brother chuckled and said, "Mao! My parents are used to it! Hehe! How are you?"

Lin Jia also laughed and said, "I'm fine, I just don't know what the boss is... I guess it's so bad! Let's call and ask, where are we going to meet? Still in Longtai Internet Cafe? OK! Hurry up... Wait! Wait! Do you have money? My parents are all out! I don't have a penny today!"

The fourth brother also said deflatedly: "I have made money, so I dare not ask the old man for it... I'll try it out when I ask my mother for something, and I'll talk about it when I meet!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jia called the boss Xu Fangfang's house again, waiting for the other party to speak with a bumpy heart. To be honest, he was afraid that the parents would ask the boss to check the household registration. Every time he called the boss to come out to play, her father would investigate the location, characters and incidents clearly like a criminal, and sometimes he would severely scold these "bad boys" who called him. This might be a feature of the girls' home.

"Hey!?" Fortunately! Fortunately! It was the boss who answered the phone, and Lin Jia breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss! Are you out to play? By the way, why did you go back yesterday?"

The boss laughed: "It's nothing! When I came back, there was no one at home. Later, when my father and the others came back, I realized that my mother went to work the night before yesterday, and my father went out to play mahjong, and I was the first to go back! Hehe!" Lin Jia was speechless, she was so lucky!

"Will you come out to play now? The fourth brother is still waiting for us in Longtai Internet Cafe, but we agreed first that I don't have any money today, so I will rely on you to sponsor me!" Lin Jia said with a smile.

"Go! I just woke up! I didn't know if anyone has surpassed us if I haven't been in one day! Don't worry! I still have 50 yuan!" The boss shouted: "You wait for me at home, and I'll call you right away!" The eldest girl's house is worth living money from the prodigal sons, so there are still a lot of small treasurys in her hands. In addition, she is generous, and her brothers often provide help when they are in financial difficulties.

Lin Jia hung up the phone, touched her pocket, worried about finding some money to get it in her parents' cabinet?

Lin Jia shivered, not daring! He had seen too many buddies being beaten to death for stealing family money. Lin Jia didn't dare to do this. He glanced at the pen holder on the desk beside his bed, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Lin Jia suddenly remembered that he didn't like to carry some change on weekdays. Is there a piggy bank? He simply threw it into the pen holder that he hadn't used for a long time. It should have been better if he had saved it for such a long time, right?

A vicious dog snatched over and picked up a half-foot pen holder made of thick bamboo on the bowl, flipped it over and poured it on the bed, and a pile of coins fell out of it mixed with a bunch of dust. It took too long to worry about the ash inside it, and Lin Jia didn't care about dirtying the bed, and lying on the bed counted steel. After counting, Lin Jia found the numbers of 61 1 yuan steel jumps, 38 5-yuan steel jumps, 11 1-yuan steel jumps and a dead fly.
