Chapter 084: Old
Jia Qianqian didn't cover his mouth with his hands, and suddenly laughed "hey, hey, hey". His father has clearly told Tang Weiwei that he will not remarry. In her opinion, this cuts off the other party's thoughts that they shouldn't have.
In the following time, Jia Qianqian was in a good mood and his appetite also improved. By the time the meal was over, it was already early in the morning.
Jia Youwei walked out of the French high-end Western restaurant in Provence with his daughter on his back, and took the sightseeing elevator from top to bottom to the pavement of Ningrong Street. On his left was a fat man to follow, and on his right was Tang Weiwei, who was walking side by side.
At this time, some people's lives have just begun, and they are moving from one bar to another in various bars and nightclubs, and there are naturally many handsome men and beautiful women.
"On weekdays, you college students will have such a life, right?" Jia Youwei walked towards the street at the end of the street.
"It's like you didn't have it when you were in college? Now we only went to bars and nightclubs when we were in college, and we are already OUT. There is a beginning in junior high school, and the high school age is the most common and normal. Tang Weiwei told the truth.
Jia Youwei just smiled and didn't say anything. After all, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, and now, if he is allowed to stay in a slow shake bar or something, he will have to have a heart attack.
"It's old. The world belongs to you young people. He shook his head slightly, full of emotion.
"I'm kind of old. Today, I just watched a news that a 14-year-old girl was showing off on the Internet and posting photos of her pregnancy.
Not only that, but what shocked me even more was that there was also a large number of 15, 16, and 17-year-old daughters who were also posting personal pregnancy photos.
In the past, it was not said that the post-80s generation was the beat generation, and the post-90s generation was the brain-dead generation, but what is the post-00s? Tang smiled bitterly.
After Jia Youwei listened, he was speechless. The world is changing so fast that it has left itself unable to keep up with the pulse and rhythm of the times.
In the elementary and junior high school days where I lived, it was a terrible thing to pull the hand of a female classmate. If it's a hug, a kiss or something, it's a fall of the sky.
If you go to bed, you still have it? If a boy makes a girl's belly bigger, it's ...... The sexual knowledge of children from ordinary families does not come from health education in school classrooms, but from ***** in island countries.
In the second year of junior high school, boys learn that the third leg between the legs is not only used for urine, but can also be used for other purposes.
"From nine o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock in the morning, twelve hours can be described as their right time. Sleeping during the day and going out at night to indulge in entertainment has long been the way of life for night owls. Tang Weiwei followed his steps forward, and saw many young men and women who had drunk along the way.
Although they also play, they are not as crazy as them. Her favorite thing is literature. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his father's money to open a microbookstore, but would have been a bar.
"In this regard, the biggest difference between small cities and big cities is that the young people of the former cannot afford to consume alcohol day and night.
In this international metropolis, there are already a group of people who don't have to do anything, and they are completely able to live an extremely comfortable life.
Among them were neither wealthy nor middle-class, but rentier. Most of this demographic have millions of dollars or more in cash.
They don't have a job, they don't run a business, they don't just live on the interest they lend, they make a profit from real estate, stocks, and money markets. Jia Youwei said slowly.
"As long as there is a steady stream of outsiders coming to this cosmopolitan city, it is bound to create a large group of people who need to rent a house here without interruption.
Housing prices have soared, so that one-third, half, or even more of the average worker's monthly income is contributed to the landlord, which is what you call the rentier class.
More than three generations of aborigines are naturally able to sit back and enjoy the success, especially those who have done a little bit of things in the past or now in their families, after all, they have a certain foundation in this international metropolis.
Of course, outsiders will find it very unfair. Individuals are tired and tired and do not see much improvement in their lives, and even survival has become extremely difficult.
And it's not easy for them to think about how long they have been here, ten, twenty, thirty years, while others have gone through a generation, two generations, three generations, or even more generations to take root here. Tang Weiwei put himself in his shoes with a lot of emotion.
She paused, and then said: "The most bitter thing is that outsiders who have no money, no background, no education, and no skills want to gain a foothold in the capital, and they want to be able to buy a house through the efforts of a generation, which is simply a fantasy."
This is through the salary of the young couple's generation, as well as the pension money of the second generation of both parents, or the coffin book of the three generations of grandparents and maternal grandparents, and can make enough down payment to buy a small apartment of 70 or 80 square meters outside the fifth ring road, which is very good.
The young couple will take out a mortgage for another 30 years and pay off the bank loan, even if they die, they should die as they deserve. In fact, the reality is very cruel, and even such a small wish of a person has become the biggest ideal in the life of an outsider, and it is still difficult to realize.
Some local children are born with a suite for their grandparents, a suite for their grandparents, and a suite for their parents, which means that they are destined to have the inheritance of three properties.
In addition, there are more or less cash, valuable jewelry and other belongings in the house, which make it fatter. Material abundance is often easy to bring spiritual emptiness to it. ”
"It's not a worry about making a living at all, and it's not necessarily a good thing, it can easily lead to a personal feeling that there are a lot of 24 hours a day, and I don't know how to spend it.
Even, many elementary school students have become vulgar and secular, so that they have given up the direction of personal struggle early.
After all, they have long known that they have a lot of things left for them, and they will not do anything for the rest of their lives, not only will they not starve to death, but they will also live better than many people.
The economy of the island countries developed and took off first, and then the same problem that we have today has arisen. Among the two writers who have won the Akutagawa Prize, Ryu Murakami's "Infinite Approximation of Transparent Blue" and Shintaro Ishihara's "The Season of the Sun", do not all say that after their country's economy took off, young people are spiritually empty, confused, have no ideals, have no goals, and do not know what to do in the future. ”
Jia Youwei felt the hesitation about the future from her, and this was also what he was worried about when his daughter grew up.
