Chapter 90: Stimulated
From ancient times to the present, we have been looking forward to world harmony and coexistence.
This is the philosophy that our civilization has adhered to for thousands of years.
In fact, it is similar to the meaning of Westerners crying and shouting every day to eradicate hunger and maintain world peace.
In essence, it is hoped that happiness is not an independent unit of enjoyment, but should become a common feeling of all mankind.
It's a pity that everyone knows that no matter how beautiful this wish is, it is also a bit unrealistic.
It's just an idealized goal we set for ourselves.
There are always differences in the objective world, which is the eternal truth.
There will never be, and cannot be, anything that is exactly the same.
Especially between people, the difference should not be underestimated.
Even if you live in the same era and live in the same city.
Belong to the same class and have the same family background.
Being in the same unit, doing the same job.
Even two people of the same age and gender will still have very different experiences.
Examples like Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui are typical examples.
Because it was precisely when Ning Weimin was living smoothly and completely solved his economic troubles, while making great strides forward in order to achieve financial freedom.
Zhang Shihui, on the contrary, felt great pressure because of economic problems, and was in a predicament that bordered on despair.
So what's going on?
I'm afraid all this has to be said during the National Day holiday.
On the day when Ning Weimin attended Bian Jianjun's wedding, Zhang Shihui was actually attending another wedding with his girlfriend Liu Weijing.
The bride of this wedding is called Wang Lin, and she is a female classmate of Liu Weijing in high school.
Now he is a salesperson at the Chongwenmen vegetable market.
The groom is a trainee photographer at Dabei Photo Studio, named Huang Shuping.
Originally, when she went there that day, Zhang Shihui was quite relaxed.
This is not only because he and Liu Weijing prepared a decent gift.
The two spent ten yuan to buy a set of thirty heads of cutlery.
This is already very interesting and deserves to be taken seriously.
It's also because the two of them are thinking about their own affairs, and they want to see how other people's weddings are done.
As a result, I didn't expect that I wanted to learn from others, so that I could have a direction to work towards.
But after going, the eyes were opened, but on the contrary, the two of them were subjected to a heavy mental impact.
Zhang Shihui, in particular, has become particularly depressed.
Because they didn't think that the whole wedding process they witnessed was so magnificent.
If people feel that it is difficult to catch up, it is the opposite effect.
On this day, the cigarette is placed with red peonies, and the candy is full of colorful foreign sugar.
Although the wedding banquet was held in the canteen and restaurant of a unit, the scene was very large.
There were twenty tables set up, and you can imagine how many people went that day.
There were five cars to pick up the kiss, the groom was actually wearing a suit, and the bride was also wearing a pink dress.
During the ceremony, the groom's public gift to the bride is a small gold radar watch.
Undoubtedly, these were quite rare pomps and circumstance at the time.
So much so that when Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing handed over the gifts they brought to the groom's cousin.
There was no such thing as the glory they had imagined at the beginning.
On the contrary, the two of them were inexplicably a little weak, and an idea came up with one after another.
If I had known, I should have spent an extra five dollars to buy a set of thirty-six heads, maybe that would be more presentable......
After the feast, the pomp and circumstance on the wine table was even more amazing.
On this day, I drank a water of Shuanggou Daqu, and there were four bottles of Beijing White Label beer and ten bottles of "Polar Bear" soda at each table.
The dishes on the table are six cold and eight hot soups, chicken, duck and fish are not only complete, but also two dishes that everyone rarely eats.
One is dry-roasted prawns, and the other is mustard duck paws.
Therefore, the focus of many people's attention is how the small bones in the duck's palm are picked out one by one.
In short, it is completely different from the banquet that ordinary people run at home, and I feel magnificent and rich!
There are even people who are good at writing mathematics, so they secretly made calculations, saying that this wedding banquet would definitely not be able to be held without seven or eight hundred yuan.
That's astronomical at the time.
Therefore, such a scene, not only Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were shocked and puzzled, but there must be many guests who felt the same way as them.
There was a lot of discussion, and many people suspected that the bride and groom had caused a great famine in order to be in the limelight.
Although the scenery is temporary, it can be returned in the future.
However, when the glass was changed on the wine table and the atmosphere was warm, accurate news came out, which overturned everyone's doubts at once.
According to the groom's relatives, it is said that the Huang family has overseas connections.
The groom's uncle had just returned to the mainland from Hong Kong City to visit relatives in the first half of the year, and knew that his nephew was going to get married, so he covered all the expenses.
Even the person who spoke said that this wedding is nothing. The real cow is the stuff in the wedding room.
This is indeed true, because the wedding room is too dreamy.
Although the orientation of the two small bungalows for the newlyweds is not good, it is an inverted children's room, commonly known as the east is not warm and the summer is not cool.
But the strong is strong, and modern household appliances are readily available.
Large color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, four-speaker recorder, electric fan, pressure kettle, all available.
And almost all of them are imported brands, which is like a foreign trade electrical appliance fair.
The furniture is just as magnificent, with galvanized folding chairs, folding round tables, large glass coffee tables, and real red leather sofas.
Coupled with a floor lamp and velvet curtains, it is the only large wedding color photo of the era wearing a wedding dress.
Let this wedding room look much more advanced than the best room in the Chongwenmen Hotel.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a model room that can meet the needs of contemporary youth, so the dream of family modernization.
It's completely out of the old pattern of thirty-six legs and three turns and one ring.
It was epoch-making progress.
I believe that no matter who you are, as long as you are here, you will feel that the master can no longer lack something.
You would think that such a home is the ultimate pursuit of a couple.
Only such a home can be worthy of the happiness of a newlywed.
Think about it, what are the feelings of Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing?
It's a bit dizzy, my eyes are glazed, and I don't know where to look.
Perhaps, this kind of uncomfortable energy is called wealth and nobility.
And in the future, there will be even more awkward things.
Because the bride and groom are definitely busy people today, they have too many people to entertain, and too many people to see the new house.
Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were not allowed to take a good look at the decorations, and a large group of people soon poured in.
These people may be the groom's classmates, and they are all self-acquainted with the posture of making a hole in the room.
As soon as they hugged each other, they surrounded a pair of newcomers, and you joked with me one by one.
Not only was the people who were originally in the house crowded with nowhere to stay, but they were squeezed and staggered, and they had to scramble to get out of the house first.
Some even began to hype up, praising the bride and groom to the sky.
But these words were very unheard in Zhang Shihui's ears.
Because according to the meaning of the master, if you can't afford these household appliances, you won't be qualified to get married at all.
So when I came home from the wedding that day, the road was completely opposite to when I came.
Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were stimulated by the day, and for some reason they were a little little interested.
My heart is sour, and I don't want to speak.
After a long time, Zhang Shihui scolded, "Damn".
Seeing Liu Weijing looking at him in surprise, he hurriedly explained.
"I'm not talking about your classmates, I'm talking about the last few kids with stinky feet. What kind of big-tailed wolf is pretending? Get a few good cigarettes to smoke, take two packets of foreign candy from people, and just lick the ditch, as for it. What does it mean to see a new house and feel that your life is boring? People live just to have so many household appliances?"
Liu Weijing can speak, and he can see why Zhang Shihui is not happy, but he pretends not to know.
"Hey, some people are just like that. You are as knowledgeable as them, and we don't need to compare with them if we want to get married in the future. I don't want to be like what I said in cross talk, to be such a high-priced girl. ”
"What a set of furniture with a sofa, the second old man is responsible for watching the dolls, three turns and one press plus color, the four seasons clothes hair card, no pair of leather shoes are wiped, the six relatives do not recognize the family, seventy yuan is better, the eight-sided exquisite can speak, the wine and cigarettes do not move and do not drink tea, very satisfied and anxious to pinch...... That's still a normal person. ”
"Besides, what kind of ability is it to live on overseas connections. We don't even rely on our parents, we all rely on ourselves, and we can't do it all at once, so we can do it slowly. Anyway, one day it will be all done. I think that's what makes it interesting? Day by day is different, and it's boring to do it in one step. ”
Zhang Shihui was very moved by these words, and the empathetic girl always has a beauty that touches people's hearts.
And sharing weal and woe is the highest state of emotional pursuit.
He couldn't help but take his girlfriend's hand and confirm it in a happy tone.
"Wei Jing, do you really think so?"
The beautiful big eyes are particularly pure.
"Of course. Don't you think so?"
"I ...... I ...... "Zhang Shihui was happy and took out a cigarette."
"I thought, I have to buy a color TV first. The rest can wait, we have to get a big deal at least first when we get married, so I won't lose you. What do you think?"
After walking for a while and getting no response, Zhang Shihui turned her head to look at Liu Weijing and found that she was in a trance.
"Hey, Wei Jing. ”
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?
"Hey, think about something. ”
"What do you think?"
"I ...... Thinking about that watch, with the gold watch in Wang Lin's hand, it's so beautiful. It turned out that when she was in school, her family situation was very bad, and she ate Wotou pickles every day. I didn't expect to become a broad person now. She's pretty blessed......"
“......”
This time it was Zhang Shihui's turn to be speechless.
His mood changed again, and he took a hard puff of his cigarette.
