No matter how enlightened Cheng Tianyuan is, he is still an old father who is greatly influenced by traditional thinking.
"You can have a late marriage and have a quick marriage...but 'not getting married' is unjustifiable."
The third child has not been naughty since he was a child and is a well-behaved and cheerful boy.
He studies hard and his grades have always been excellent.
Later, I fell in love with painting, and I painted for more than ten years.
To be honest, he is one of those children who are born to be academics, and his parents never have to worry about his studies.
Even though he went to Teito University, which is full of talented people, he was still able to receive scholarships every year.
Others still rely on their parents to provide pocket money and living expenses through bank cards, but he has become financially independent. He has been earning a lot of money as early as high school, and now he has an annual income of over 10 million before graduating from college.
While others worked hard to find channels to study abroad, he was recommended by his tutor to receive a semi-guaranteed place at a prestigious school. After approval, he would receive a full scholarship.
Unexpectedly, the third child, who had the least worries and least need to worry about them, would have such a weird "non-marriage" view on marriage at the best age when he had both academic and career success! Cheng Tianyuan, who was severely frightened, secretly said -
—I can’t accept it at all! Xue’s father agreed: “That’s right! It doesn’t matter if it’s a little later, anyway, people nowadays take good care of themselves, and they look young in their forties or fifties.
He will go to study abroad next, and it will be later. Anyway, his big brother is there to support him, so we won't rush him."
"People say 'not getting married!'"
Mother Xue slammed the table angrily: "It's not 'late marriage'! Did you hear that clearly?"
The third child said that he should not get married—not get married!"
Wang Qing laughed apologetically: "A Chong is young and energetic, and he is probably just joking with his mother. He can't count his actions, and he can't take them seriously."
"that is!"
Ah Hu explained: "My sister-in-law also felt that he had a childish nature and didn't take it seriously at all, so she didn't even try to persuade him.
If he can be taken seriously, my sister-in-law will be the first to spare him! Hahaha!"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't think so in his heart. Once the pimple popped up, he couldn't get it back.
He and Xue Ling have been married for decades, and they know each other best.
She wouldn't say that suddenly for no reason, and he could tell at a glance whether his wife was joking.
If the third child was just joking, why would Ling Ling look so embarrassed?
Wang Qing helped Xiao Xiaohu wipe his mouth and said: "Nowadays, the Internet is so developed that one person has a mobile phone, and one mobile phone makes up the world.
Young people's thoughts are too free and indulgent. When any trend comes out, they will easily follow it and make noise.
The third child works on the Internet all year round, so he will be affected to some extent.
I heard that few young people abroad, especially those in developed countries, want to get married and have children - there are many who are unmarried and infertile.
Maybe when we become more developed, more children will not like to get married.
However, the third child grew up in a big family and he likes children so much. I believe it is only a short-term impact and will definitely not happen in the future."
"That is!"
Father Xue praised: "Ah Qing is right.
Children from our traditional families tend to have more traditional ideas.
The third child is engaged in painting on the Internet and is easily misled by other young people.
But as long as we persuade and talk, he can eventually return to the traditional family model."
Ahu couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, yes! The third child likes children so much. Before Xiaoyu's friends were born, he would rush over to the little tiger brothers whenever he saw them, hugging and kissing them.
Hahaha! People who love their children love their families! Don’t worry!”
Xue’s mother was an action person and muttered: “When he comes back at the weekend, we have to test him.
If he dares to say that he doesn't want to get married, we will scold him to death - we won't allow him to mess around!"
"What are you talking about!"
Dad Xue asked in a funny voice: "Are you willing?
He smiles and says "Grandma", and you smile more happily than anyone else!"
Mother Xue glanced at him and gave up: "One thing is another thing.
If he engages in non-marriage and hedonism, we really can't spare him."
"What?
Hedonism?”
Xue’s father asked: “What is it?
What kind of pleasure?”
Xue’s mother explained: “It is said on TV that some young people now feel that social pressure is too great and domestic competition is too fierce. They decide to lie down. Now there is wine and now there is drunkenness. Moonlight is moonlight and time is time. Anyway, life is good.
Just enjoy the present moment."
"That's not okay!"
Father Xue shook his head: "If our ancestors thought so too, then how did we get here?
Without the people of the past who braved all obstacles to open up new territories, and without the various sacrifices of the older generation, how could we have the wonderful life we have today?
Even animals know how to protect the next generation of the race, otherwise they will not be able to reproduce and the race will be extinct sooner or later.
How can we people not understand?"
"Who knows!"
Mother Xue sighed helplessly: "There are too many unhealthy ideas nowadays! What some young people say... Anyway, I don't break the law and I don't commit crimes. I can do whatever I like. It's none of other people's business - my life
I'm the ruler.
Some young people can't stand the pressure, so they just don't care and lie down.
We really can’t understand or figure it out.”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said warmly: "Dad, Mom, let alone you eighty or ninety-year-olds, even those of us in our fifties and sixties can't figure it out."
"that is!"
Ahu smiled bitterly: "We didn't have much to ask for at that time, and even having a full meal felt like the happiest thing in the world.
Today's young people have everything they want, but they love to do all kinds of things.
They just have such a good life!"
"No."
Wang Qing corrected: "They feel that their life is too bad."
Xue’s father really couldn’t figure it out and analyzed: “Maybe... maybe I just ate too much and things got more troublesome.
In the past, we were busy running around all day just to have enough food and clothing.
Our pursuits are not high, as long as our lives are better.
Today's young people have to pursue too much, as long as they can pursue it. If they can't pursue it, they will easily become world-weary, lie down, and comfort themselves with an indifferent attitude.
How should I put it - it should be regarded as an inevitable product of social development."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Ahu said: "The better the living standard, the more and more weird ideas there are!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "But if the living conditions are good, it is better than when the conditions are poor, right?
There are advantages and disadvantages. How can everything be good? Then there will be no worries.
Wherever there are people, there will be troubles.
The material things can keep up, but the spiritual level cannot keep up for the time being, so it will take time to slowly sift through and finally retain the most suitable concepts and thoughts."
Father Xue whispered: "When the third child comes back, I will talk to him.
Not getting married, being a DINK--all of them are unacceptable."
"Um."
Cheng Tianyuan was thoughtful.
"okay!"
Mother Xue stood up: "Everyone, please go about your business and stop talking about society.
Those who should go to work go to work, and those who should take care of their children should take care of their children. Life must be lived well.
Even if it doesn’t work, there will always be a day when it does.”
"Yes! Ayuan, you should go to work!"
"Little Tiger has to go to kindergarten, it's almost time!"
