Several drivers who drive trucks are the most diligent in pulling goods with sports cars. They often drive out and come back at night. Just to earn that delivery fee and overtime pay.
At first, everyone thought that he was too burdened with the old and the young. He himself lives in the urban-rural fringe, and his parents and wife rely on him to support themselves and have no job. They all sympathize with him. The team also intends to tilt towards him when arranging the delivery task.
It was not until one day that he chatted with others himself that everyone knew that after his house in the urban-rural fringe was expropriated, the developer gave him four sets of commercial houses with more than 2 million in cash.
The building area is about130m2. Now one of them lives by himself, one depends on his parents, and the other two rent and collect rent, and they also earn several thousand yuan a month.
Colleagues were shocked when they learned about his situation. Because what he did doesn't mean that he is a rich man with so many assets at home.
First, he is usually stingy and doesn't look like a man of his age. After all, he is only in his thirties.
Every noon, he eats in the company canteen. He always adds more food and vegetables in the future. The welfare of our canteen is particularly good, and there are several meat dishes every day. He can eat several people alone.
A colleague said that he ate so much because of his hard work and because he was full at noon, he could eat less at night and save money for his family.
It is said that in his house, garbage bags are not needed, because every time I go to the supermarket to buy things, I will bring a few more people. I usually hate using too much paper, and sometimes my wife and children use more.
Every time I wash vegetables, I keep the water for washing vegetables, and the next time I flush the toilet, I will dirty the surrounding toilets. Once a colleague came to his house to ask him something, saying that his toilet was really dirty. There was a big wooden bucket in the bathroom, which contained washing water with rotten leaves floating in it. There was no water in his toilet, so he turned it off to prevent someone from accidentally using the water in the toilet.
Once a colleague called him. At that time, the call was still two-way. As soon as I got through, I heard a woman's voice at the other end of the phone anxiously shouting, "Phone bill, phone bill, how much is your phone bill?" Scared colleagues to hang up the phone. Since then, no one has called him after work. I'm afraid his wife will scold her colleagues.
I heard that his compensation for demolition was 2 million yuan, and relatives also borrowed money from him. He refused all of them, and just said, "It's all regular, I can't get it out", so he blocked others back.
Second, everyone is exploring why he is so stingy. Why are you so extreme when you already have money?
Later, a colleague who lived close to him learned about his family and solved the reason why he was stingy to the extreme.
When his family was not assigned to demolish the house, his family was a well-known local poor household. Because my father is sick all the year round and can't work, he has to spend money on medicine for a long time. At home, he relies on his mother to support his family on the land alone. Every new year, his mother has to borrow money for a year. It can be said that he witnessed the hardships of his mother borrowing money from an early age, and it was not easy to make money.
Later, when the army came to recruit, it was reasonable to say that he was an only child, so he didn't have to go. However, in order to reduce the burden on his family, he went to the army. During his years as a soldier, things at home finally improved.
Later, he transferred to our unit as a driver and began to earn money to support his family. But he still has a large family to support, and his monthly income is several thousand yuan, so he is still short of money. To this end, he asked his wife to open a fruit stand at home and earn some hard money to subsidize the family.
Because of the hardships of making money, their family life has always been frugal, which is particularly stingy to outsiders.
Third, with the development of urban construction, the urban-rural fringe where his family lives began to be demolished.
Now he finally got rid of poverty and became a rich man to the core. However, the stingy habit that has been developed for decades still cannot be changed.
When people are laughing at him for not being willing to eat or wear, or even saving a cigarette, he tells his colleagues frankly that if you have experienced the terrible pain of being hungry, having to have a stomachache and itchy hands with cold, you will also become stingy. Saving money can make you feel safe.
After all, the satisfaction of feeling rich in your pocket is unparalleled. It can tell you that you don't have to go hungry from now on. Even if you don't make money this month, your whole family won't go hungry.
Perhaps no one can blame his lifestyle, which is a sense of security brought by bank deposits, which ordinary people can't understand.
Fourthly, a donation for disaster relief made people sit up and take notice of Chu Xiao's meanness.
This year, a once-in-a-century flood occurred between Jianghuai and many people's homes were flooded.
Especially those farmers who live in flood storage and detention areas, in order to defend the city, they abandoned their small homes, left their homes, moved to temporary shelters arranged by the government to get married and set up a business, and watched their homes flooded, even the roof flooded.
Many people face their lost homes in an instant and burst into tears.
After the flood, all units began to donate money and materials, calling on party member cadres to actively donate.
Later, the unit trade union received a donation of 10 million yuan, which surprised the chairman of the trade union and quickly reported it to the unit boss. After searching, it was found that the driver Chu Xiao donated a huge sum of money to the disaster area.
At that moment, people were in awe of this stingy pervert. He is no longer the man who is extremely obscene to save money. It turns out that all his excavations are for himself and his family. In the face of justice, no one thought that he could pay so much.
Later, someone asked him how he could pay so much money for being so stingy. He said that he had lived a particularly embarrassing life since he was a child. In this process, he got the help of countless people and supported their stormy home. Without the outstretched hands of these people, their family doesn't know what it is like now.
Therefore, one should not be too selfish and forget one's roots. When people in disaster areas abandon their small homes for everyone, what is money at this time? Compared with their efforts, their money is really nothing.
Summary:
From beginning to end, Chu Xiao has no grandiloquence and passion. After the donation, he was still the extremely stingy Chu Xiao. However, in the unit, people look at him more as admiration and understand his meanness.
