In the summer, everyone there dressed like that. How could she not look at those men dressed like that and wandering around in front of her? Chu Li felt a little heartbroken.
"Why don't you talk anymore?"
"Prefer not to say."
"Tsk!"
Little Xingxing said in her heart that this was unacceptable, so if she wanted to tell him about the scene in the modern swimming pool, he would still have to be autistic.
She shook her head and remained silent.
"continue."
"ah?"
"I want to know what's going on with you."
"What do you want to know about?"
"Everyone wants to know."
He really wanted to know where Little Star lived, which was a completely unknown world to him.
"Well... let me talk about the biggest difference."
It was boring anyway, so Little Xingxing started chatting with him, "Our place emphasizes equality between men and women. When they are three years old, boys and girls will be sent to kindergarten... that is, school. They are sent to school for enlightenment, reading and literacy.
Our woman can also be an official and do business."
"After a man and a woman get married, they usually buy a house and move out of their home. The couple lives together. If the family has conditions, they can hire a servant to take care of the housework. If there are no conditions, the couple will share the housework."
"..." This is a completely novel way of life.
Chu Li listened carefully.
"If you are a dual-career couple, the children will usually be taken care of by your grandparents or grandparents. If there are no parents, or the parents are unwilling to take care of the children, the wife will usually take care of the children at home while the husband goes out to work."
"Because pregnancy and childbirth will affect work, many of our outstanding girls are now unwilling to get married and have children."
Chu Li was stunned, "What should I do when I get old?"
"Earn more money when you are young and go to a nursing home when you are old."
"Retirement home?"
"Well...as the name suggests, it is a large courtyard with many houses. If the elderly are old and have no children to support them, they can live in it by paying a fee. There will be someone responsible for three meals a day and accommodation."
"..." Chu Li's thoughts were greatly impacted.
Little Xingxing noticed that the heat in his bathtub had become much less hot, and shouted outside. A moment later, Mo Yu came in with another bucket of hot medicine.
Little Xingxing took the medicine bucket and used a gourd ladle to scoop out a lot of the cold concoction from Chu Li's bathtub, and then used the gourd ladle to mix the hot concoction into it.
Steam was rising again in the tub.
Little Xingxing then continued, "Our people are not as keen on having children as your people. Our medical skills are very good. We can check whether there are any defects in children when they are pregnant, and children
The survival rate after birth is very high.
Studying is very expensive, so many of our families only have one child."
Chu Li subconsciously asked, "If I give birth to a daughter, wouldn't it mean that my incestuous relationship is cut off?"
"..." Little Xingxing rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Just because of people like you who favor boys over girls, many girls are not living well... We have too many only children.
Didn't I just say that girls are not willing to get married now, so who cares about whether it's incense or not?"
"..." Chu Li's thoughts were impacted again.
In fact, he himself has no idea of favoring boys over girls. He will either never get married or have children in his life. If he gets married and has children, whether they are boys or girls, he will love them very much.
It's just... love is love.
The person who inherits the family business must definitely be a boy. After all, it is not convenient for girls to show up in this world.
Not every girl has as many means of self-defense as Little Star.
"How many children are there in your family?"
"Three. I have a twin brother and sister above me."
Thinking of her brothers and sisters, Xiao Xingxing's eyes were full of loneliness. She smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, I am not an only child. Otherwise, if I disappeared so suddenly, my parents would have gone crazy."
"Your parents love you very much."
"Um."
Little Xingxing's voice was muffled, "Growing up, I spent very little time with them... If I had known that I would end up in such a ghost place, I should have spent more time with them."
"..." The atmosphere suddenly turned sad.
Half a moment.
Little Xingxing rubbed her face, "Sigh... Even if time were turned back, I probably wouldn't be with them."
"Why?"
"My parents love each other very much, and my dad loves to cling to my mom. So when my brother was only eighteen years old, my dad left all the business to my brother, leaving us three siblings behind and traveling with my mom everywhere.
If I followed them at that time, they would definitely dislike me."
"..." This is what love looks like.
"They left you, won't you miss them?"
"Yes I do."
"What should we do?"
"Make a phone call."
"Telephone?"
"Well... it's a communication device. It's about the size of a palm. We basically all have one in our hands. Everyone's mobile phone has a unique number. As long as you dial the other party's number, you can make calls or video calls."
Chu Li was stunned for a moment as he heard each novel word.
He displayed the spirit of not being ashamed to ask, "What is the video?"
"It means seeing the other person through the mobile phone, including the environment the other person is in."
"..." How could there be such a magical thing?
Chu Li was silent for a long time before asking again, "But even if you can see people, you can't touch them. If you don't see them for a long time, your feelings will fade."
"Who said we wouldn't see each other for a long time?"
"You just said that your parents travel everywhere...the places they go to are too far away, how can we meet them?"
"..." I forgot to mention the most important thing.
Little Xingxing patted her head, "Our transportation system is very developed, with cars, trains, high-speed rail and airplanes.
A car is similar to a carriage, but it doesn't use horses to pull it... I can't explain it to you."
"Let's put it this way, a car can cover two hundred miles in half an hour.
The high-speed rail is even better, it can cover five to six hundred miles in half an hour.
Planes can fly in the sky, and what's more, they can fly 1,800 miles in half an hour.
Big cities have stations and airports, so even if they go far away, even to the other side of the world, they can still get home in a day's flight.
There were many important moments in my life for my brothers and sisters, and no matter how far away they were, they would always fly back to witness them."
"..." Chu Li's breathing froze.
Is what Little Star is talking about really a real world?
It's simply unimaginable.
Chu Li suddenly felt panicked.
Little Xingxing has always wanted to go home. If she really found a way to go back...he would never see her again even if he spent his entire life.
"Do you still want to go home?"
"Of course I do."
Little Xingxing said, "My relatives and friends are all at home, and I must find a way to go back."
"..." Chu Li suddenly couldn't sit still.
He grabbed the edge of the tub with both hands, supported his body with the strength of his arms, and stood up suddenly.
"Wow!"
Water splashes.
His thin underwear was soaked through and clung tightly to his body, and the lines of his upper body were immediately exposed to the air.
"..." Little Xingxing suddenly opened her eyes wide.
