I am a retired faculty member, and I have worked diligently in the faculty for most of my life, and when I am on the job, I often hear my classmates talking about where to go and where to play, and I am very envious.
Although I am old, I still want to take advantage of the movement I can to go outside and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
It's just that I am very busy on weekdays and have not had enough time to relax, and now I have finally survived to retire, and I still have a pension of 5,000 yuan per month to get, and I can finally enjoy my life.
But I didn't expect that I still had a problem with not choosing what to say, which also brought huge trouble to my life after retirement and made me regret it.
Because I stayed as a teacher from my job until I retired, and I was still a teacher in a decent school in my town.
Because I have been in the job for a long time and my achievements are quite good, I have been praised and valued by the school leaders, and my pension is relatively high.
After retirement, in order to be able to live a peaceful life, I decisively returned to the countryside from the city, which not only has fresh air but also a comfortable life.
In addition, I have these pensions, so I don't have too many requirements for life.
When I returned to the village, many of the villagers welcomed me very well, and soon after I arrived home, many people came to the house to sit and catch up.
Because I haven't seen each other for too long, I chatted with those villagers for a long time, talked about the changes in the city in recent years and some unforgettable and memorable things that have happened over the years, and everyone chatted very happily.
Maybe it's because the more I talk to everyone, the happier I get, so gradually my conversation box opens, and there is no door on my mouth, and when the chat is very excited, a fellow suddenly asks a very serious question.
"You have worked in the city for so many years, you must have a pension, how much is your pension?" At that time, I also forgot that my son had warned me not to easily say how much money I have, how rich I am, and not to show off.
But by this time I had been chatting so happily that I had completely forgotten about my son's admonitions, and when they asked about my pension with great anticipation, I felt a sense of pride in my heart.
So he said very loudly and confidently, no more, no more, only 5,000 yuan a month!
But this sentence seems to undoubtedly make the villagers in the village envious and jealous, and they have touted: "Wow, so much pension is not much", "You don't do anything a month for a pension of 5,000 yuan, we have been busy for a long time and don't know if we can earn 5,000 yuan."
Indeed, in the township where I live, there are not many people of my age who go out to work, and many of them do very hard work.
And most of the rest of the people are farming in the villages and towns, and they are completely dependent on God for food, so they can't make much money from their hard work all year round.
So at that time, I didn't realize what was wrong with the touting of these people, but there were still some people who were already whispering on the side, and after this simple reminiscence, I realized how much trouble I had caused to be a straightforward and unobtrusive mouth.
Since then, many people in the village have asked me to go to a place in the town to eat and have a small party, but every time at the end of the day, they will shirk and pay for various reasons, at first they didn't say anything, and in the end they directly told me to settle first, and next time they were treating.
But in the future, I still pay for it every time, and it doesn't matter if it is once or twice because of my face, but then it gradually increases the number of times, and I can't bear it.
So, at their invitation the next time, I proposed a strategic method for the AA system this time, and this proposal seemed to catch them off guard, and they all had the word unhappy on their faces.
It was a true AA meal, but they never came to eat with me again, and they heard a lot of gossip about me after that.
But it's not just because of this one thing, since I know that I get a high monthly pension, there are still many people who have borrowed money from me, all of them are 500 like this.
It's not good to find someone to find such a little money, if you don't want it, I'm not a God of Wealth and not an ATM, which makes it very difficult for me, and when someone comes to borrow money next, I explain the reason to them, saying that I also need to use it, and I can't lend it at will.
As a result, the next day, the village had to gossip more about me, saying that I was stingy and unkind.
This also makes me regret it very much, I really should listen to my children and not lend money easily.
In addition to the topic of pension, in the mouths of some villagers, they like to talk about some parents and children, so when the villagers talk about their children's problems, they talk about me and my children.
Because my son not only went to a good university, but also got a very decent job, which has always been something I am proud of and happy about.
When they asked me about it, I was very proud to say that I worked in a small company, and I was a small leader, and I could get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month's salary, which made the villagers praise me even more, saying that I had taught such an excellent child.
Listening to their praise, my heart was also beaming, but I couldn't be happy in the United States for a long time, and I almost let my son stop having contact with me.
Because when the villagers knew that my son was so powerful, they began to ask my son if he knew the leaders of any big units, and many of them helped my children find jobs and asked my son to help recommend and introduce their children to work in large companies.
At first, I was very happy, I thought that my child must have this ability, so I agreed and called my child.
After a few simple greetings and inquiries, I told my son about it, and after my son heard it, he was still very shocked, he said that I didn't have such a great talent, and this favor couldn't help, so he was about to hang up the phone.
But I was very stubborn, thinking that my son had no favor, they were all some villagers, how could this matter not be done, but at this time my son was already impatient, and he wanted to hang up the phone in a hurry.
I could only stop it, saying that I was already very angry, because I had agreed to this matter, so I asked my son to help.
In my bitter heart, my son finally agreed to help with this, and it didn't take long for my son to call and say that the matter had been done, and asked me to inform the folk.
But what I didn't expect was that after that, more villagers came to me and asked my son to help them introduce jobs, and I shirked it because of my poor face, thinking that my son could do it so quickly last time, and there should be no problem this time.
So he called his son again, but what he didn't expect was that his son became even more angry after hearing this.
My son said that things were not as simple as we imagined, not only did he pay the leader to dinner, but he also gave up one of my promotion opportunities, so this time he said that he would not help, and let them find another way.
This time, before I could speak, my son had already hung up the arc, leaving me at a loss, and then I really realized such a problem.
Later, my son stopped contacting me for a long time, and the relationship with my son became very dangerous, so I decided to pretend to be sick to let my son go home, and my son believed me and quickly rushed back.
When he saw that I was safe and sound, my son was still very angry, but finally calmed down and told me a lot, my son told me that those people are just jealous that you are better than them, but no one really wants you to be good, for fear that you will live too well, which is why I told you not to tell your pension.
After these two things, I believe you must have understood what I said.
After listening to my son's words, it dawned on me that these encounters were all gossip because my mouth was too fast and I didn't open the door.
As the saying goes, "Trouble comes from the mouth, and if you say too much, you will lose" is not without reason, and this warning is vividly reflected in me.
