Chapter 64: A Daughter
Ning Weimin did not invite guests.
Of course, this matter can't be counted like this, and it will inevitably have to be made up again in the future.
It's a shame to say.
In Lan Lan's body, Ning Weimin has never been able to use money to achieve the kind of psychological balance he expected.
Because although Lan Lan is a child, she loves to play and laugh.
She loves to watch movies, watch dramas, skate, go to the park, and eat ice cream, ice cream, melon seeds, plum chocolate and other small foods.
And she also remembered that one play was one play, and she would do whatever she said, and there was no plan at all.
Being with her always makes Ning Weimin feel passive and youthful and helpless.
But at the same time, Lan Lan also has another inherent obsession, but it is even more surprising to Ning Weimin, and he can't help but appreciate it.
That is, Lan Lan didn't have the slightest idea of spending men's money with peace of mind.
This girl not only pays attention to coming and going, but also is generous and rare.
The two of them ate, drank and played, and she also took out a lot of money.
Especially when she pays her salary, you can't rob her of the money she pays.
Even at the end of June, Ning Weimin joked, pretending that he was in trouble and needed money urgently.
Even if the salary was almost spent, Lan Lan said that it didn't matter, she had to go home and ask for it, saying that her mother had money in her hands.
Such a girl, how can people evaluate it?
That's great!
But this girl has no scheming at all, and she has no defense against people, so she is so easy to deceive.
Ning Weimin felt that if she was her own brother, she would be able to worry about this girl to death, and she would have to worry about her being unladylike for the rest of her life.
Of course, Ning Weimin also had to doubt Lan Lan's family environment because of this.
Because in ordinary people's families, there will be no such girl who doesn't know the difficulties of the world and doesn't care about spending money.
Sure enough, as soon as she asked Lan Lan, she said that she had no intention of hiding it.
She told Ning Weimin that her parents were actually high-level intellectuals.
His father is a professor of ancient architecture and construction, and his mother works in the district cultural protection bureau.
Therefore, her father also served as an ancient construction consultant of the Cultural Protection Bureau, and was responsible for many restoration projects such as the Temple of Heaven and Qianmen.
And she actually has an older brother, who works in the district service bureau.
As for this girl's family background, why she works in the scrapyard is all due to anger with her family.
Lan Lan claimed that she was not a student of study, but her parents forced her to take the university entrance examination.
She was not allowed to watch TV, she was not allowed to go out to play, and she had to go home to study every day after school, which drove her crazy.
So when she graduated, she missed the college entrance examination by three points, and she didn't want to take the exam again, so she had to go to work.
She wants to be free and to make her own decisions about her life.
Naturally, needless to say, her choice made her parents angry half to death.
Her stubbornness is also something that nine cows can't pull back.
Mom and Dad said that she had no education and could only pick up rags, and she said that if she picked up rags, she would pick up rags.
That's it, no matter what, I can't convince her.
When her parents were angry, they really brought her to work at the scrapyard.
Unfortunately, she herself regrets it a little now.
Originally, she thought that going to work was more interesting than going to school, so no one cared about it, so she did whatever she wanted.
But it soon became clear that this class was actually even more boring.
Dealing with scrap copper and rotten iron, expensive newspapers and magazines every day, dirty, what can be the point?
It's not decent to say it.
Thanks to her parents, who entrusted someone to take care of her, the stationmaster of the scrapyard treated her like his own daughter and never let her do hard work.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay at the scrapyard for even a week.
And the colleagues in the unit, except for a group of people who are quite old, are educated youths who have returned to the city.
She is the only high school student like her.
The age gap in life is too large, and the life experience is also very different.
Others talk about how to live at home every day, and they study firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
The discussion is about how to save money, how to take care of the old and young at home, how to make furniture and brush the house, and how to use labor protection gloves to weave thread clothes.
Everyone treats her as a child, and she has no one to talk to as an equal as a friend.
But what she didn't expect was that even the social circle in her original life was derailed.
She also became an individual who was alien from the others.
Not for anything else, just because she is a student of "Yucai", she is on the focus of the district.
The classmates in the class are not as laid-back as her, nor are they as chic and open-minded as her.
Except for the university entrance examination, everyone else is continuing to prepare for the exam.
She asked her former best friend to go to the movies and the park, but no one paid attention to her, they all shirked it.
The parents of those classmates also guarded her like a thief, for fear that she would affect their children's studies......
When she said this, Lan Lan was already so aggrieved.
Not only did his mouth pout, but he even choked up when he spoke.
But Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing, and he didn't mean sympathy at all.
"I understand, you're asking for your own hardship. You don't listen to the old man, and now you feel that you are in a dilemma, and you are embarrassed to admit your mistakes, right? If you want to listen to my advice, you should talk to your parents properly, and ......it is better to change your ways as soon as possible."
These words immediately made Lan Lan's eyes widen in surprise, and then she showed a look of disappointment.
"You...... You persuaded me to listen to them, and I thought you would support me. ”
"Look at you, how free, how happy, how self-...... you are"
"I really don't understand, is the only way out for me to go to school?"
"Even if you pass the exam, what's the point? In the future, it's too tiring to live like my parents and my parents. It's too boring, it's too boring. ”
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin shook his head, completely disapproving of her pain.
"I don't agree with that. In this life, almost everything is like this, there is no pure good, and there is no pure bad. It can only be measured and made what the individual thinks is the best choice. ”
"It's not that easy to choose. It takes insight and vision to make the right choice. You even need financial foundation, family support, to really implement your choice. ”
"Let's take you as an example, it is precisely because you don't know enough about society that you made the wrong choice. But even if this choice can be implemented, it depends on the help of your family. You should know how many people are unemployed right now. What others ask for but can't, you can easily get it. And that's what your family is giving you. ”
"Truth be told, you're starting high enough in life. You make mistakes, and your family gives you a carry, and you are born in this family, so you will have the opportunity to make a new choice, which is a blessing that others cannot hope for. You should cherish it. ”
"Don't compare yourself to me, I'm a child without a father or mother, it's never easy, and I never have as many choices as you. You won't know how many things I have done against my will, how difficult things I have done to survive. ”
"You only see me smiling, but you can't tell that my smile may be fake, and how much bitterness is hidden in my smile. You envy my freedom and self, and I envy you that you have your parents in charge and your parents care about ......"
Ning Weimin's words made Lan Lan quiet in an instant, and she couldn't help but admit it herself.
"Actually, I know I'm lucky enough compared to many people. is so dissatisfied, it seems that he is a little unblessed and does not know the blessings, and he is hypocritical......"
But a child is a child after all. Soon, disbelief and unwillingness resurfaced.
"But it's human instinct to pursue happiness, isn't it? Isn't it wrong for me to want a better life? I'm not so unrealistic. I just wish my life could have a little more poetic romance and the right to make my own decisions......"
Ning Weimin still laughed at this.
"That's fine. It's normal for you to think so. But you can't be too anxious, life is not an overnight thing, you need to take it step by step, you can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow. ”
"Life is a big problem, and countless scholars, wise men, and philosophers in the world have not been able to understand it. Why do you think you can understand it now, even better than your parents?"
"Why do you think your parents restricted you, just to make you live as they wanted? Then they were too tired. Are they willing to do this to you for the rest of your life?"
"Actually, in my opinion, that's just a necessary measure they have taken to protect your future. Because when you go to college, you can see the wider world. It's possible to know what you really want. ”
"Your parents just don't want your dreams to be limited, they want you to have more choices and the ability to secure your future. ”
These words completely touched Lan Lan, and she didn't think about them at all.
"But...... But ......"
Ning Weimin interrupted her again, and the following words continued to break through her cognition.
"Nothing. There are always some responsibilities to be paid in life. Just as your parents are responsible for your future, you have an obligation to reassure your parents. ”
"I'm telling you, freedom is indeed a good thing, but such a good family is even more precious. You don't want to be hungry, you don't know how many people envy your family, your parents. ”
"Little girl, I know, you obviously regret it, but you can't save face, right? You still care about these things with your parents? I dare to say that as long as you turn back, your parents will definitely be ecstatic regardless of their previous suspicions. And when you grow up, you will find that only blood relatives are the ones who really think about you wholeheartedly. ”
"Also, I really have to advise you, don't think that you are the center of the world, don't think that you will be forever young, and don't think that only good luck will accompany you in the future. Don't think that your parents and loved ones will always worry about you, they will also grow old, and they will also need your care one day. ”
"Even worse doom is possible. Including the death of a loved one, being disabled in a car accident, being terminally ill, being under a fence, wandering in a foreign land, and meeting unladylike people...... Sounds scary, doesn't it? But it's all true, that's life. ”
"I don't deny that studying for university is quite boring. But compared to what I'm talking about, isn't it nothing?"
"Listen to me, have fun for another two months, and then you can go back to school when school starts. Don't forget to use your salary to buy something for your parents. Not only will they not be angry with you again, but they will be happy. ”
"Believe me, you're probably the only one in your life who can feel the most at ease. Cherish everything you have now, and don't let your time go to waste, and miss the opportunity to truly control your own destiny. ”
Lan Lan had a gloomy look and was speechless for a long time.
She didn't even have time to digest Ning Weimin's words, and she couldn't refute them at all.
In the end, there is only a deep sigh for the heaviness and unboredom of the adult world.
"I can't believe you're saying that. You...... What you're telling me is ...... It's even more ...... than my mom and dad."
"More old-fashioned than your parents, more like your elders?"
Ning Weimin smiled lightly, and returned to his unashamed and virtuous demeanor.
"Then you can call me uncle from now on. How about it? Little niece, call and your uncle will buy you yogurt to drink. ”
There is no doubt that the result of such a provocation is naturally that Lan Lan is not tempted by the temptation, and responds with "phew" on the spot.
