In the end, Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing failed to give Xu Youyuan a few ways to suffer, after all, they are not deeply involved in the world.

The most they can tell Xu Youyuan is: "Everyone else is playing, you are studying, you are suffering." ”

Of course, this is true, and suffering this kind of loss can indeed make people grow, but it will take a long time to see the effect.

It's just that Xu Youyuan was of course dissatisfied with this kind of answer, so she looked at her father as if asking for help.

However, her father finally lived up to her expectations, hahaha After laughing a few times, Xu Changshou said to her: "Oh, you don't have to think about this kind of thing now, wait for your fifteen or sixteen-year-old father to talk to you slowly." ”

Xu Youyuan was suddenly dissatisfied, and said, "But I've grown up at the age of fifteen or sixteen!"

In her eyes, since she can grow up by suffering losses, of course, the sooner she eats, the better, and it is useless to eat at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

After all, in the eyes of an eight-year-old girl, fifteen or sixteen years old has already experienced two of her lives, and she can definitely be regarded as an adult.

Faced with her immature thoughts, Xu Changshou retorted: "How can you be considered an adult at the age of fifteen or sixteen? You have to be at least 20 years old to be considered an adult, so even if you start to suffer losses at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Yuanyuan can quickly grow to her twenties, and it is still useful to suffer losses." ”

Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing watched Xu Changshou flicker Yuanyuan, and felt that this scene was full of fun, and He Qianxi was also smiling and watching her husband tease her daughter, thinking that this was really interesting, and her heart was full of happiness

Xu Youyuan seemed to be convinced by her father, and asked suspiciously: "At what age will it be useless to suffer losses?"

Xu Changshou, who has been in the society for many years, thought about this question for a while, and said: "It's almost thirty years old, and it is estimated that he will not grow up again if he suffers losses, and some continue to suffer losses in their thirties, and they may become more and more naïve." ”

"Really?"

Xu Youyuan asked casually, and then wrote down this knowledge point: If you start to suffer losses at the age of fifteen, you can grow to your twenties, and if you suffer losses at the age of thirty, you may not grow long, and you may even become more and more naïve.

If she knew that growing up was psychologically after many years, she didn't know if she would cry or laugh when she looked back.

Chatting and chatting, they slowly ate their meal, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they asked Xu Youyuan to do homework on the living room table, and then the Xu couple called Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing to sit on the balcony and told them the story.

Before, the story related to Xu Changshou knowing that something would happen to Qingcheng.

Xu Youyuan actually wanted to hear this story and do her homework, but in the end she was rejected, looking at her disappointed expression, Xu Changshou could slowly tell her this story in the future, and she recovered a little bit of her spirit.

Xu Youyuan was obediently doing her homework on the side, and Xu Changshou on the balcony had already told the story.

"This story happened about thirty years ago, when a group of children were playing with the family, some of them played the role of the master of the Baiyi Pavilion, some played the role of farmers, some played the role of the gentlemen and students of the Academy of Letters, some played the role of the sea beast group, and some played the role of merchants......

"At that time, the ultimate goal of this group of children's games was to block the attack of the sea beasts, and all the members of the human race had to find a way to maintain the operation of the city, while the ultimate goal of the sea beasts was to destroy the human race, or disrupt the normal operation of the human city. ”

At this point, Xu Changshou paused, leaving Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing zero time to think.

At this time, Su Yan thought that this family was playing quite big, and I was afraid that there would be twenty or thirty people involved.

After a pause, Xu Changshou continued: "At that time, there was a nine-year-old boy, he was almost the oldest of all his playmates, and the others discussed, it was better to let him play the most useless businessman." ”

Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing estimated that this nine-year-old boy was estimated to be Xu Changshou.

After all, there is an overlap in age, and it is him who is the story, which is really a coincidence.

The nine-year-old boy was not convinced, and asked why he was allowed to play the most useless businessman.

Well, the status of merchants on the mainland is not high, whether it is compared with the workers and peasants engaged in production, or compared with the transactional personnel like the members of the Baiyi Pavilion, or compared with the patrol guards who protect the safety and stability of the city, the merchants seem to be the most useless group.

His playmate's reply was: "You are the oldest, you know the least, and you can't fight, so you don't play the role of the most useless businessman?" ”

When Xu Changshou reached the word truth, Su Yan saw a hint of nostalgia on his face.

Even the nine-year-old boy approved of the other methods at the time: the merchant was the most useless, he had no production and no fighting power, he could only buy an item from one person and sell it to someone else, but he was just a porter who sounded a little more advanced. ”

For the above story, Xu Changshou made such a summary.

Although Su Yan had something to say about it, now was obviously not a good time to discuss, too many comments might interrupt Xu Changshou to tell the story, and might even lead the topic crookedly, so he restrained his desire to express himself.

He just asked, "Uncle Xu, what happened later?"

Xu Changshou continued: "Later, that boy still accepted this arrangement, but he felt that even if he played the most useless businessman, he would have to work hard to contribute to the normal operation of the Terran city.

Then, under the influence of this thinking, he found that the play of their group was unreasonable. ”

As we all know, someone needs someone to tell a story, so Su Yan asked, "Where is it unreasonable?"

Xu Changshou glanced at Su Yan with satisfaction, and continued according to his memory: "In reality, farmers and workers also need to rest after completing production, many of them will not produce their own items and sell them by themselves in this era, and in the end they must go through an intermediary to help them deal with it.

And this middleman is the merchant, they collect the things that others need to sell, and finally find a place to sell them to others, this role is actually convenient for both the people who want to buy things and the people who sell things.

"But in their game, because all the playmates are in a very large range, everyone can contact the buyer directly if they want to make a deal, so the merchant role is very redundant, and they can let the merchant move things at most.

And all of this is because the boy realized the difference between play and reality.

From that time on, the nine-year-old boy felt that businessmen were not useless, and that there were many people in real life who needed their help, otherwise many of the things they wanted to sell might be rotten in their own hands. ”

At this point, Xu Changshou concluded: "Later, the nine-year-old boy thought: It is better to wait for this kind of troublesome role that obviously has a practical role but others are unwilling to do, it is better to wait for it to grow up in the future, and it is better for me to do it myself." ”
