Chapter 124 Choice
"Why?" Jin Mang really didn't understand, "Isn't it the manifestation of the soul? What impact can a weak body have?"
Long Yan thought for a while and said: "Suppose the soul is sand, then our body is a bag filled with sand. If the bag is broken, the sand will leak out little by little. When it is time to build a wall with sand, the missing sand will
It will make it impossible to build the wall. On the contrary, if the wall is already built, it will not matter whether the bag is broken or not."
"So, you must keep your body healthy before you become an adult. After you become an adult, it doesn't matter whether your body is healthy or not."
Jin Mang frowned for a long time and asked: "Except for the taste, is there any difference between nutritional supplements and natural food?"
She has been taking nutritional supplements for two years now. Of course, this nutritional supplement is different from what she has seen in movies and TV shows. It is not regulated. Just like those green plants outside that can be fake and real, Heze's nutritional supplements
They can all be mistaken for the real thing. Except that the taste is bland after being cooked into food, the rest is no different from natural food.
——It is said that there are also tube nutritional supplements, but they are very expensive and are specially supplied to the military. To buy them, civilians need to apply and can only buy them if they have special needs.
In Jin Mang's opinion, nutritional supplement meal replacement has no other shortcomings except for the somewhat unsatisfactory taste.
Cheap and affordable, it fills the stomach in the same way, there doesn’t seem to be much difference?
"That's a big difference." Long Yan said, "The taste is secondary. Taking nutritional supplements will lead to body diseases. Although today's medical technology is very advanced, except for the brain, the rest of the body parts can be replaced, but who knows?
Do you know if you might get a brain disease if you are unlucky?"
"But it's not so unlucky. Once the physical disease begins, there is no end unless you stop taking nutritional supplements as meal replacements. In this case, it will be a matter of time before the disease spreads to the brain."
He gave an example: "Just like your sister Siyu, she had wrist bone disease when she was very young. If not, her family would not have sent her to an orphanage. Because once the disease started, unless natural food could be provided,
Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether someone like her, who developed the disease as a child, would survive to adulthood."
Jin Mang couldn't help but be surprised.
The sister Siyu in Long Yan's mouth is called Wei Siyu. She is the same age as Long Yan and is a very quiet girl. She rarely plays with Jin Mang, but Jin Mang remembers that she washed most of his clothes when he was a child.
——The orphanage has no employees. Xu Yingwan was born as a eldest lady, and Zhuang’s mother is old. The children wash their own clothes. Only Jin Mang, because she is too young, has other older children help her with her clothes.
Washed.
In fact, there is a washing machine in the orphanage, but children's clothes are often difficult to wash. Machine washing alone cannot wash them clean. People are accustomed to washing clothes by hand. Only some heavy winter clothes or bed sheets will use the washing machine.
Jin Mang did not know before that Wei Siyu was physically disabled due to a physical disease. He only thought that she was disabled due to an accident like everyone else.
On the weekend, when the sun was shining just right, a group of children on vacation took out their quilts to dry them in the sun.
Jin Mang will be sleeping with Xu Yingying, so there is no need to show off his quilt.
During lunch, Xu Yingying suddenly said she didn’t want to go to school.
"What are you going to do if you don't go to school?" Xu Yingwan was stunned and immediately frowned.
Xu Yingying bit her chopsticks and said: "I want to go out to work. Miss dean, do you have little savings? My grades are not very good anyway. Even if I take the college entrance examination, I will not be able to get into a good university. The tuition fee of the university is poor.
It’s not even low, I can’t afford it.”
"How old are you..." Xu Yingwan was speechless for a moment.
Her savings are really running low. In the past, when the Xu family was rich, she didn't study hard and got into an ordinary university. With that degree, even if she went to work, her salary would only be four to five thousand a month. But she
She doesn't mind being young and is willing to go to school, but the major she studies is originally related to her original family business. Most people in the industry are acquaintances of the Xu family, and she really doesn't want to be criticized all day long.
Because of this, she opened a small online store in the past two years, selling some scattered decorations, and barely making a salary.
It's just that there are too many children in the orphanage. Even the children in the compulsory education stage have a lot of expenses. The little she earns is really not enough. Her savings have been decreasing in the past two years.
Xu Yingying smiled and said: "My classmate said that the online store opened by her eldest brother needs models to take photos. Although the salary is not comparable to those of Internet celebrity models, it is much better than working part-time. I want to give it a try."
Xu Yingwan was stunned, "Are you sure it's reliable?"
"It should be reliable." Xu Yingying said: "The eldest brother of my classmate is also a former student of our class teacher. She called me and asked."
Xu Yingwan was silent for a long time and said: "At least you can get your high school diploma."
This means consent. Xu Yingying immediately nodded and said: "I have no intention of giving up my high school diploma."
I thought I had finished speaking, but Jiang Chengyu next to me also said hesitantly: "Miss Dean..."
"You don't want to study anymore, right?" Xu Yingwan glared and said, "No, you are different from Yingying. Your grades are very good."
"No..." Jiang Chengyu pursed her lips and said, "I have a girlfriend."
ha?
Jin Mang and the others opened their eyes wide.
Before Xu Yingwan could get angry, she heard Jiang Chengyu say: "My girlfriend's family is very rich. She said that if I agree to marry into their family, their family will support me in going to college."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Xu Yingwan was shocked but quickly calmed down and asked: "What does your girlfriend look like? Does she have any physical defects?"
"She looks quite ordinary, a little bit fat, very healthy, with an ordinary personality. She is not a bad-tempered person, but she is not lovable either." Jiang Chengyu said calmly.
Xu Yingwan said with a complicated expression: "Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Chengyu nodded and said: "I have nothing but this skin. I don't care if I marry someone else or not. Anyway, the person who gave me my surname has already abandoned me. It doesn't matter whether the child's surname is Jiang or not. At least this way I can
Live a little easier."
Xu Yingwan said nothing more. In the past, she would have looked down on Jiang Chengyu for his choice, but now... after experiencing the bankruptcy of her family, she has long understood that dignity is sometimes the most useless thing.
Although Jiang Chengyu's choice was not dignified, it was not unethical. Moreover, both parties were willing to do what they wanted, and there was no question of who was taking advantage of the other.
