Xue Ling asked funnyly: "When I grow up, everyone likes to run outside. Everyone has his own job and circle of friends and colleagues. Even if I have a football team, I will feel less."
Everyone laughed.
Xue’s mother couldn’t help but remind: “When we had an extra child, we were fined a lot of social support fees by the neighborhood committee. The third and fourth children were born in the same child, so our family could only count the birth of three children. When the second child was born,
I was fined once, and then I gave birth to a third child, and I was fined a lot of money that year."
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Ying said with a smile: "It was said on TV that now the country encourages everyone to have more babies. The more, the better!"
Xue Ling chuckled and explained: "No, it's just open to three children. There is no encouragement that the more the better."
In fact, most of the friends her age have one or two, and it is very rare to have four children like her.
"Hey!" Xue Zhilan interjected: "Don't talk about liberalizing three children, even if it is fully liberalized, young people today are not willing to have more children. I have two sons and three grandchildren, and I may only have three great-grandchildren in the future.
, or even less. Many young people like DINK, and some don’t even like to get married.”
Father Xue lowered his voice: "Fortunately, we guys all grew up in a big family, and we can live together as a family, otherwise we would have to worry about this."
"Don't say it!" Xue Zhilan said: "Young people can only have two children at most, and never more."
Liu Ying said "Hey~~" and said: "The Yangyang couple said that one child is enough for them, and they also said that one child and two treasures are enough. I was secretly worried! Fortunately, they were pregnant with twins.
If it’s just one, maybe they only want one.”
Xue Ling was not too worried, explaining: "When their children are born, we will help take care of them, and then we will ask professional nannies to help and subsidize some milk powder money and daily necessities. As long as the young people don't feel too stressed, they will
Have one or two more children. Children who grow up in large families will not subconsciously only want to have one child. But we should not force it. After all, this is the young person’s own choice and it is not good to interfere too much.”
"Wrong!" Xue's father quickly reminded his daughter: "You can't be too open-minded about this matter! Young people are greedy for comfort when they are young, but they will know how miserable they are when they are old. The older generation said that more children will bring happiness, and this is true.
It makes sense. If you have more children, when your parents get older, the responsibilities placed on their shoulders will naturally be smaller."
Xue Ling thought for a while and explained: "It's not that I want to be enlightened, it's that the times cannot help us not being enlightened. Today's young people have a high degree of freedom, their thoughts are very free, and what they pursue is much more complicated than that of our time. In addition, they
This generation pays more attention to themselves and does not think too much about responsibilities and how to prepare for the distant future. They are more free-spirited and pay more attention to their own self-feelings."
Modern science and technology is changing with each passing day, and information technology is extremely developed. The stronger people's independence is and the better their privacy is protected, the more young people will pay attention to themselves.
No matter how busy she was, she would try her best to spend time with her children. No matter how tired she was, she would not dare to stay away from her family for a long time.
Despite this, the ideological generation gap between her and her children is still very large. Even if she continues to study and tries to change and adjust with an open-minded attitude, the generation gap will only be narrowed, but it will still be there.
"When they get old, they will regret it." Xue Zhilan echoed his cousin's point of view, saying: "Most parents will think about their children. As long as they can take care of themselves, they will never trouble future generations. But what they are most afraid of is themselves.
Sooner or later, you will be unable to take care of things, and you will have to rely on your children. How can you not get sick if you eat whole grains? Once you fall ill, your children will have to go to the hospital, make money, and hire a family. How can it be easy? The elders always say that there is strength with more people.
Great, this is the truth. If you have many children, you have the money to contribute and the ability to contribute. After the responsibilities are shared, no matter how unfilial you are, you still have to fulfill your share of the responsibilities."
"Yes!" Liu Ying couldn't help but nodded: "Why do people raise children? Is it not to continue the family line, but to have descendants to rely on when they are old?"
Xue’s mother thought the same way and said loudly: “When I was young, I was lazy, thinking that I would have fewer children, less financial pressure, and just live a good life. When I get old and disabled, all the pressure will be transferred to my children. How will I regret it then?
Can it be done? Is it too late to regenerate? It is said that the welfare of the elderly today is good, but the most important problem still cannot be solved. When you fall ill and have no money, who will find someone to take care of you? Even if you go to a nursing home, you must have someone to take care of you.
Money, right?”
"Mom, you forgot to bring your headphones." Xue Ling hurriedly took out the gadget from the old man's pocket, carefully put it into the old man's ears, adjusted it, and warned: "Remember to put it on when you get up, otherwise you won't know what to say.
It will get louder when you wake up."
Mother Xue said "oh oh" several times and laughed.
"No wonder you always feel that you spoke too softly today! It turns out that you have forgotten it again! Look! This is the reason why you must raise children, right? When you can't take care of yourself, at least someone will remind you and help you.
you."
Everyone laughed.
Dad Xue said sincerely: "Sometimes I can't help but wonder if the free and willful ideas that today's young people always advocate are too wrong. You said that we humans originally live in groups. There is no one else to live with, so we rely on everything.
If you are alone, you will definitely not be able to survive. Even if you can, you will be no better than a savage or an animal in the wild, and you cannot be considered a human being at all. If you can’t get rid of material things, you can’t talk about spiritual freedom, right?”
"Um..." Xue Zhilan chuckled: "That's right, that's not right either. Brother Wu, I feel this question is more like a philosophical question."
Father Xue laughed and stopped.
"It's too difficult. We are not young people anyway, so we definitely can't understand it. They don't understand us either, and vice versa. Let's stop talking and continue playing chess."
Liu Ying turned her head and warned again: "Ling Ling, you still have to let your children have one or two more, at least two for each child. We are both male and female, no matter what, we must have two or three."
"Okay." Xue Ling secretly smiled bitterly, pretending to agree happily, "Mom, don't worry. When they have a baby, I will definitely contribute money and effort, and fully support them both financially and physically."
Four children means at least a dozen grandchildren. She must save more money quickly, exercise well, and strive to be a good grandma in the new era.
So, she quickly took out her mobile phone to contact Xiao Liao to prepare for starting work tomorrow.
Cheng Tianyuan came back, taking off his coat and leaning over.
"What to do? Isn't the private room already reserved?"
Xue Ling lowered his voice: "I plan to have dinner with Xiao Liao at noon tomorrow. I plan to sell off part of the stocks I have and keep some money around."
