That year, I worked in a township. I was sent to this town by the county party committee. The main job is to let me experience life, hoping to write decent novels. So at night I always sit in the office alone, reading or writing.
At night, there are many cadres idle in the town government. So that night, a lady knocked on my door and interrupted my study.
I asked her, is there anything wrong?
She smiled and said to me, to play mahjong, it happened to be missing one out of three.
I instinctively didn’t want to go, but this lady is very gentle and treats me very well. She had a drink with her husband at her house last week. So I stood up and said, okay, play with you.
At that time, there was only 300 yuan in salary a month, all of which was left to the wife in the city. His wife is a laid-off worker and takes the children at home. Half of the 300 yuan has to be paid for the house loan, and the other half is their living expenses. Therefore, my bag is always empty and has no money. So I dared to play mahjong tonight. The town only gave out a 100 yuan bonus yesterday. I only used 5 yuan, and 93 yuan.
A Mahjong game did not end until two in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the 93 yuan in the bag became 103 yuan. All my ten-dollar bills went out, and I got back a hundred-dollar bill.
But when I was eating out for breakfast in the morning, I was so mad that the boss refused to accept the bill, saying it was fake. I checked in a flustered manner and realized that it was really fake: the paper had to be slapped just now, and the leader’s portrait inside was fuzzy.
I was so frustrated that all my real money went out. Winning this fake money means that I actually lost 90 yuan last night!
At the town government this morning, I tore up the hundred yuan bill in front of the two people who played mahjong last night. An old comrade said, why bother to tear it, there are many people on the market, and in the vegetable market, if you use a few more places, you may be able to use it. I said, no, since it is fake, let it be destroyed in my hands, and can’t let it deceive.
I left a handful of banknotes in the yard of the town government. I think, who used the counterfeit banknotes, he knew in his heart that I would not bother about it anymore.
The difficulty is that I don’t have the money to buy a ticket back to the county seat. I thought I would not have to worry about the money for the ticket back to the county seat in two months. I only had three yuan in my bag, but I still got on the bus back to the county seat.
The conductor asked, where?
I said, to the county seat, buy a three-yuan ticket, and then you throw me out of the bus.
She said that she can only go to Longdongzi at most.
I said, good.
In Longdongzi, the car threw me out accurately. There is at least forty miles away from my home here, and I trot into the county town in strides.
Start, I think I will finishIt took forty miles to go home and was very angry. All this is due to a shameless guy who exchanged a small amount of real money for me with a fake hundred-yuan bill.
But after less than ten miles, I was full of joy, and the more I ran, the more vigorous I became. I am used to thinking about problems from another angle. I thought happily, thank you for the blessing that guy gave me. Without his trick, I would not run the only marathon in my life!
