It’s not that the vast majority of people living at the bottom of society have no vision for the future, it’s just that they are overwhelmed by life.
Especially the new generation born in the 1990s has now entered its thirties.
The vast majority of them are only children, and the other party may also be an only child after marriage, which means they will have to support four elderly people. In addition, now that the two-child policy is open, many families have two children. If it is a girl
Fortunately, if it were a boy, it would be a struggle.
Based on this, who dares to talk about dreams easily?
For them, dreams are just extravagant wishes, something that can be met but not sought.
Similarly, if I were to marry an equally ordinary girl and have children, I would not have the experience to do these things now.
This society is realistic, and a person's life is often determined by his birth.
Many people will say that knowledge can change destiny. All of us know this sentence, but how many of us really understand it?
No matter how hard it is for a poor family to produce a noble son, this is no longer a joke.
Li Feng and Huang Yong are ordinary people like me. We are born ordinary, but we can also be great.
We ordinary people can join forces to do something truly meaningful. No matter what the final outcome is, at least we have experienced it together, and that is great.
After the meal, we chatted briefly for a while, and they had no choice but to go deliver the goods because of the delivery party's urging.
I can only bid farewell to them temporarily, and at the same time I hope they can make a decision.
Maybe, I said, maybe I can help them escape this poor fate.
When I came out of this Jianghu cuisine restaurant, I realized that this was a place I was particularly familiar with.
That's right, a community not far ahead is where Xiao Wei and I once lived.
Of course it was the small house we lived in together after I went bankrupt. I was so familiar with this street that I seemed to still be able to vaguely see myself riding an electric bike up and down this street.
At that time, my only thought was to make money. I wanted to buy a bigger house for Xiao Wei and my son, and I wanted to open a company when I had enough money.
But now, it seems that all these have been realized, I am now rich, and the people who caused me to go bankrupt have also been punished.
But why am I still not happy?
I suddenly wanted to visit the community where I lived for two years and look for memories.
I remember that there was a Hunan restaurant at the entrance of the community. I was quite familiar with the owner of this restaurant. I remember that he came here because his wife had an affair and opened such a restaurant.
But now, that place is no longer a restaurant, it is replaced by a Lanzhou Ramen restaurant.
Including several nearby shops, it seems that they have been changed. The previous telecommunications business hall was replaced by China Mobile, and a small supermarket was also replaced by a 24-hour chain supermarket.
Even the gate of the community has been renovated, including the exterior walls of the buildings in the community, which look better than before.
Everything has changed, including me.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice right in front of me: "Chen Feng?"
I suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Wei standing less than three meters in front of me, looking at me.
She was wearing a small suit, a knee-length skirt, her legs were wrapped in black silk, and she was wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes. She looked like a salesperson in a real estate sales department.
I was really surprised to see her, and Xiao Wei seemed to be surprised too.
She smiled at me first, and then said, "It's really you! Why are you here?"
"Uh" I felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously touched my nose and said, "I just passed by and came to take a look."
"Oh, are you okay?" Xiao Wei seemed more uneasy than me.
"I'm fine, and you?"
"I'm fine too," she said after a pause, "Would you like to go upstairs and sit down?"
"You live here now?" I asked in surprise.
"Well," she nodded and said, "it's still the same house we lived in together before. I bought it back."
"Really?" I looked at her in surprise.
She still nodded and replied: "I bought it in installments. I live with my son now. It's quite spacious."
"Is my son okay?"
"It's good. He's in first grade, but he's naughty now."
After saying that, she asked me again: "Do you want to meet him after school?"
I really wanted to meet him, but I didn't know what to say after meeting him, so I had to smile bitterly and said, "No, don't you plan to find another father for him?"
Xiao Wei lowered his head and was silent for a while before saying: "There was one before, but after my mother fell ill, he left without a trace."
I was stunned for a moment instinctively, and then asked her: "What's wrong with your mother?"
"Cancer, stomach cancer."
My heart suddenly tightened. Although I was very disappointed in Xiao Wei's mother, she was my mother-in-law anyway.
Now that she has cancer, and it's stomach cancer, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
I could also tell that Xiao Wei was in a bad mood. Her face no longer had the confidence it once had, but only the vicissitudes of life squeezed out of her face.
I comforted her a few words, and then said to her: "Let me go to the hospital with you."
Xiao Wei seemed a little confused: "Is it convenient for you?"
"What's the inconvenience? Your mother is like this. I have reason to go and take a look, right?"
Xiao Wei didn't hesitate any more, so she and I walked out of the community together. No wonder I saw she was carrying a thermos box in her hand, probably going to the hospital to deliver food to her mother.
We took a taxi and we didn't have any communication on the way to the hospital. I didn't even sit with her.
But I could hear her crying quietly, and I peeked at her in the rearview mirror. She had her head facing out of the car window, as if she didn't want me to see her.
I won't delve into Xiao Wei's previous character, but her filial piety has never changed. She has always only thought about her family, and she didn't care that much about my mother.
After a twenty-minute drive, we finally arrived at the hospital. It was either a big hospital or an ordinary hospital.
After getting off the car, I saw that Xiao Wei's eyes were still a little red, so I finally said to her: "Life is one problem after another. You don't have to be too pessimistic. Medical science is so advanced now, and cancer is not incurable."
If the disease is present, there will be a chance to be cured.”
"I know, it's just that I remembered a lot of things in the past. I was really ignorant at that time. Your mother was sick and hospitalized, but I went shopping with my friends. Now that I think about it, I want to give myself two slaps."
But I smiled calmly and said to her: "It's all over, I won't talk about it anymore."
Suffering will indeed crush a person in an instant, and it will also make a person mature in an instant.
I still remember how energetic and confident she was when we were still together.
But now, she looked haggard and seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.
At the same time, this kind of sadness also infected me. I asked myself in my heart: What is the purpose of life?
None of us want to live in pain, but pain is everywhere.
When people die, they will definitely go to heaven. Don’t ask where hell is, the world is hell.?
