Chapter 339: A chat that has nothing to do with weirdness
The mother's blame is very simple.
I explained everything from why Lin Xiaoxiao came home so late to why the clothes she bought were so ugly.
The good thing is.
When Lin Xiaoxiao rushed home, she had not touched Lin's mother's bottom line, so it was over with just a few sentences, and there was no such restriction as telling her not to go out again next time...
After finishing speaking.
Looking at the food on the table, Lin Xiaoxiao's stomach began to growl.
She didn't have time to eat dinner, and now she felt so hungry that she felt as if she could finish two cows directly.
One bowl after another.
Four bowls of rice...
Mother Lin, who couldn't survive the night, waited for Lin Xiaoxiao to finish eating and take the bowl to the kitchen to wash it before going to bed.
Not long after, slight snoring came from the unclosed door and entered Lin Xiaoxiao's ears.
Perhaps because of Qianye's presence, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was used to going to bed early, also began to learn to stay up late.
Feeling not sleepy at this moment, she sat on the sofa and leaned her head back. It was hard to tell what she was thinking on her calm face...
[Remember not to mute your phone when sleeping. I noticed that you seem to have this bad habit. Is it because you are afraid of someone calling and disturbing you? 】
Thinking of this, Qianye reminded him that he didn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to miss it because he was immersed in his dream when the poster called, otherwise everything he did today would be in vain...
"I know, I won't turn off Shizune."
Lin Xiaoxiao replied softly.
She raised her head and looked at the old and dusty ceiling, inexplicably thinking of the community where the poster lived.
Although the decoration is very inhumane, the inside is not as perfect as imagined...
But if it is possible.
It seems quite nice to live there.
The comparison between the two locations caused Lin Xiaoxiao's lack of interest in the family's financial situation to ripple.
She is tired of reading.
Because she thought it was of no use, she always felt that after studying, she would end up working for others to earn some money.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it more than once, if she dropped out of school and went out into society earlier, wouldn't she be able to make money earlier, and then save the money to open some kind of store and become a small boss?
Open the door when you are in a good mood and close the door when you are in a bad mood. You don’t have to worry about being late and your boss will charge you money. You can be one step ahead of others on the road of life. It is very beautiful...
Think about it.
She hesitated and asked Qianye.
"By the way, I don't even know how old you are."
[Why are you asking this? Anyway, it’s fine if I’m older than you.]
Qianye didn't understand why Lin Xiaoxiao asked like this.
"No, I just want to know how you make so much money."
Recall the balance in Qianye’s payment account.
Lin Xiaoxiao would really be frightened.
No one can say that money is useless...
At least in the current real society, this thing is the basis of most basic existence. Money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought that if she had so much money, she could move her mother to a bigger and better house, buy her some nice-looking clothes that she has always been reluctant to buy, and then take her to eat some ordinary food.
Something I don’t want to eat...
Her home is small.
She was so young that there were only two of her and her mother.
Just now, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that there was an indescribable smell in his mother's eyes when she saw the new clothes in the bag.
She understood that her mother had not bought clothes for a long time, and it had been a long time since the last purchase...
The clothes, which were of poor quality and had fur balls, were worn over and over again on Mother Lin for who knows how long...
in school.
She was not unaware of other students' special views on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Not to mention it was because there was nothing embarrassing about her mother giving massages to others. Lin Xiaoxiao had never thought about it in this way. She just felt that earning money from such hard physical work was a burden for her mother's declining body.
if.
If I could have some money...
That might change your current life.
[The age you are now is not the time to think about this. Just read a book. This is what you should do now, money and other things. After you finish reading the book, this is what you should focus on.]
Lin Xiaoxiao's incomprehensible question made Qianye wonder if the other party had come out of nowhere.
There were times when he would have random thoughts every night.
After thinking about it for a while, Qianye thought that it might be the exposure of his balance that gave Lin Xiaoxiao some stamina and began to affect Lin Xiaoxiao's values...
"Shouldn't you think about it?"
"But I'm already in my second year of high school, and I don't have much time before I graduate to make money. If possible, I would actually like to tell my mother that I don't want to study and go out to make money, so that I can take some of the burden off my family."
Gazing across the massage chair placed in the corner of the living room, Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little disappointed.
This is a conversation that has nothing to do with weirdness.
The theme content is only about the future life of this fat girl...
[To be honest, did you come up with this idea because you saw the balance on my account and then returned home? 】
"Yes and no..."
Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then added an explanation.
"I have thought about this a long time ago. My mother takes care of everything at home. She never lets me do other things."
"Including the meal tonight, she waited for me to wash the dishes before going to bed. I think it was really hard for her..."
[So, you should have taken the initiative to wash the dishes after eating just now, instead of waiting until you feel guilty when you think about it now. 】
[If you know what you should do, do it quickly, don’t be lazy all the time.]
"I'm not lazy..."
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately retorted after hearing this.
But this rebuttal seemed somewhat unfounded. After all, what Qianye said was true: she did know how hard her mother was working, but she never took the initiative to help.
[Well, whether you are lazy or not, I am just curious now why you would think of talking about this issue. 】
Chino actually didn't want to talk to a high school student about these things.
He has been through this age, so he understands.
At a time when worldviews are rapidly forming, the scary thing is that people at this time have their own opinions about themselves.
People who have never experienced it will never listen to what people who have experienced it say...
No matter what she said was right or wrong, she would always retain her own opinions and continue to do so in the rest of her life.
Only when you hit a wall will you remember something someone said at a certain time, and then start to think about why you didn't listen to the advice in the first place.
Not telling everything.
At least most people are like this...
Otherwise, in the real world, there wouldn’t be so many young people complaining about life, asking why God is always so unfair and always leaves difficulties for them.
"I just want to ask, is reading really useful?"
"Because my grades are not very good now, I will probably get into a very average university after I study. After three years of university life and one year of internship, it's time to enter the society."
"I have always had this question in my mind..."
"Since we are all working part-time, why not enter the society in advance? Anyway, judging from my grades, studying is a waste of time."
"If you come out early, you can be a little ahead of other classmates like me."
Lin Xiaoxiao said.
She used to hide these thoughts in her heart, and she would think of them every time she was alone. This was the first time she had spoken them out.
Maybe there is something special about Chino's existence, so she speaks more naturally.
【Well...how should I put it.】
[This idea is a bit naive, but it doesn’t seem so naive. After all, it is logical. I have thought this way before, so I didn’t go to college.]
Qianye pulled out fragments of memories that had been gathering dust for a long time.
I vaguely remembered that I had thought like this before, so I didn't feel strange about Lin Xiaoxiao's words.
[If I guess correctly, you should be thinking that if you really wait until you finish reading the book, it will take another four or five years. 】
[What you have learned during these days will generally have little effect in society. Do you feel that with your current knowledge, you can live a good life in society? 】
[In the next four or five years...]
[Do you think that not only do you get little help, but because you have no income, you have to rely on your mother to support you and help you pay for tuition, living expenses, etc.]
[At the end of four or five years, you hold a not-so-high diploma and find a job with a similar monthly salary, so this time is completely wasted.]
[Why not take advantage of this time to enter society, save some money, and wait until four or five years later, if nothing else, you will have a small hundred thousand, you can open a store and start a business, etc...]
【Is this what you think?】
Qianye took out his original ideas and compared them with Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts to see if they were his own at that time.
And after listening to what the other party said.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded without denying, and then said "Yeah".
"You said you also dropped out of school at that time?"
[Yes, I never went to college, which is something I have always regretted.]
"So, do you regret it?"
【how to say......】
Lin Xiaoxiao evoked complex emotions, which Qianye had not expected.
The topic he didn't want to talk about still affected him.
【Regret it, even if I have so much money now, I still regret it. 】
【But if I had to do it again, I think I would still do it. 】
[Of course, my situation is somewhat special. You don’t need to compare it with me. It makes no sense. I have no other choice. This is a last resort.]
He was worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would be led astray by him.
After Qianye finished speaking, he reminded me.
"I seem to understand what you mean, but you don't actually support me doing this, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao is not a fool.
Although Qianye didn't say it explicitly, she could still understand Qianye's position.
"Many people say that studying is useful and that you can make a lot of money after going to college. But there are so many college students now, and I don't see many who make a lot of money."
"On the contrary, those who went out earlier still have some..."
"So I'm trying to figure out, what's wrong with my thinking?"
mentioned this issue.
Qianye was very glad that Lin Xiaoxiao did not think that his idea must be correct.
Since she asked so seriously, it means that she still has doubts about this choice.
It will also be easier to persuade.
There is a chance that what Qianye said tonight will not turn out to be nonsense...
【Let’s just say it like this.】
[Are they all the elders who asked you to study hard?]
[You may think that times are changing now. There are so many people studying and the competition is so fierce. College students are not as valuable as they used to be...]
[So their ideas are old-fashioned and outdated?]
[Think they can’t keep up with the times?]
Lin Xiaoxiao still did not deny it.
Nod again.
The confused look in her eyes showed that she actually had no definite plans for the future.
Maybe I have the life I want in my heart, but I don’t know how to get such a life...
[It is possible to not keep up with the times.]
[People of the previous generation did have many ideas that were not up to date with the times, and their concepts had fatal problems from certain angles.]
[However, you have to live your own life after all. What you need to do is not to try to figure out whether their ideas are correct, but to think carefully about whether your current ideas are correct. ]
to be honest.
This is the first time Chino has spoken so seriously in a long time.
Maybe he didn’t want to see a friend who was barely a friend fall into the wrong choice. Maybe it didn’t take much effort to say these words. In short, he wanted to correct Lin Xiaoxiao’s somewhat erroneous ideas...
[For now, you think that there are too many college students, the competition is fierce, and your grades are average. Studying is not an advantage for you at all, so you want to find another way.]
[And you also mentioned that you haven’t heard of many college students who make money, but there are many people who drop out and make money...]
【Let’s take an example from fantasy life.】
Qianye paused.
While I rested my mouth for a while, I was also thinking about how to treat Lin Xiao.
moment.
Then he continued:
[If you don’t study now, enter the society. 】
[Then the job you find, based on your current conditions, is basically a waiter in a restaurant, or the front desk of a hotel, or at worst, working in a factory...]
[Without trying to live a normal life.]
[The salary is about three to five thousand...]
[Because I don’t have enough education, the basic path is to rely on this to save money, save for three to five years, open a small shop, and finally find someone I like to marry. 】
[Sounds pretty good, as long as there are no accidents, this is also a way of life...]
【But have you ever thought about what would happen if an accident happened? 】
[For example, because of insufficient experience, I was defrauded of money when I went out, or I was sick, and the money I earned was not enough, so I couldn't save it at all, or something else...]
[If you put these things down, three to five thousand won’t be enough.]
Because the genders are different.
So Qianye changed his identity a little and tried to think about the problem from Lin Xiaoxiao's perspective.
[In fact, the biggest role of studying is not to make money, nor does it mean that if you study well, you will be assigned to a very profitable job.]
【Didn't you notice?】
[The reason why you now feel that there is a generation gap in the ideas of the previous generation is actually due to understanding.]
[Assume that your life is indeed so dull and you can ideally live the planned life. 】
【But, what about cognition...?】
[Because you dropped out of school early and have a normal family, your circle is so large.]
[The people I meet and the friends I make in the future are basically in this circle. Every day I hear families chatting about their daily life, talking about which family has bought a car, which family has bought a house, and which family is looking for something.
Got a new son-in-law...]
[Most of your circle consists of people you know below your own level.]
[Including the person you marry in the future.]
[Maybe I am also entangled in these trivial matters...]
