Lin Xiao was also anxious for him when he heard this, so he persuaded him to think about it: "Today's children, how do you know what 'who knows that Chinese food is hard work', when we were children, where did we see a hundred-yuan bill, but now, you can earn hundreds of yuan a day." The uncle smiled: "At that time, there was no such a big ticket, too, it was easier to earn money and spend it easier." Not to mention anything else, a small mobile phone can cost thousands at every turn, and that Apple, one is six or seven thousand, and you can buy two big TVs. ”

Lin Xiao was happy to see him, and thought of a joke about mobile phones, so he told him: "There was a young man who accompanied the girl to pass by the mobile phone store, and the girl took a fancy to the iPhone6, and the young man asked her: Do you like it? She said: Yes! The young man said: If you like it, you can watch it for a while! They have been seeing it from the day to the night, and the girl suddenly asked him: Why do you like it, but you don't buy it for me? He replied: The person who is willing to spend money for you is not necessarily the one who loves you, but the one who is willing to spend time with you is the one who loves you! The girl nodded with tears in her eyes and said: I just like you dick silk men, you don't have money, you can pretend to be forced, and you can fucking do ideological work. ”

The uncle laughed when he heard this: "This fucking apple is too dark, someone wants to sell a new machine, I heard that he is still queuing up to buy it, do you think he is so good?"

Lin Xiao has no special requirements for mobile phones, he thinks this is nothing more than a tool, can make calls, can use common software, but there are still some requirements for running speed, in addition, the battery life is also very important, therefore, he generally has two mobile phones, one is Apple, one is an elderly machine, this is very funny to say, but very practical.

Lin Xiao said to his uncle: "Most young people buy apples to catch up with fashion, in fact, for ordinary people, the general domestic machine is enough, and Apple feels better and faster when playing games." If you don't pursue feelings, it doesn't matter what kind of mobile phone you have. ”

The two roads chatted lively, and soon arrived at the airport, Lin Xiao confirmed the arrival location, agreed to pay, and said to the uncle: "Thank you for your hard work." The uncle got out of the car to help Lin Xiao take off the suitcase and said, "It's okay, isn't it just work." I'll squint here for a while, and it's better to wait for a life to come back. ”

The two waved goodbye, and Lin Xiao looked back and saw the uncle getting into the car again, looking like he was going to take a nap. I can't help but sigh at the difficulty of the survival of Chinese parents, especially the ordinary people at the bottom of the city, who have no property to inherit from the previous generation, no connections, no way, everything has to rely on their hands, and they are not as good as farmers in the countryside, who still have a few acres of land at home, and can grow some food and vegetables. The homestead left by the ancestors can be lived in for a long time, no more than in the city, the savings of a lifetime to buy a suite, up and down are all shared with neighbors, even a car has to pay parking fees.

In particular, China's 50-year-old generation, when they were young, starved, made a revolution when they went to school, it was easy to go to work, and after reform and opening up, they became laid-off workers, they were about to get married, the country did not divide houses, they did some small business, the city management rushed everywhere, the children were older, they had to pay for school, they earned some money all their lives, they bought a suite and they were gone, their children went to school for a few years, the old people were sick and lived in the hospital for a few days, their hair was gray, and they had to work hard with young people to earn money and grab jobs.

On the plane, his heart was still thinking about it, there were many fifty or sixty-year-old people running around at night, I don't know how many young people in their twenties were still lying in the bed playing with their mobile phones, he suddenly thought of one thing, is it that the growth rate of human beings has slowed down, fifty years old is still very young, twenty years old is very ignorant, he shook his head, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

When the plane was about to land, Lin Xiao was awakened from his dream by the broadcast on the plane, he opened his eyes and saw that he had arrived in New York, the plane slowly descended, fell to the ground smoothly, taxied for a while, and stopped. After getting off the plane, he called Harman, and as soon as the bell rang twice, Harman was connected, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, and he was anxious to say, "Hey, Lin, are you back?" Lin Xiao told him that he had arrived in New York, and came to look for him immediately. Harman was so surprised that he exclaimed, "Great, you're finally back, I'm at the Pennsylvania Hotel on the edge of Times Square, are you coming over now?"

Lin Xiao got out of the airport and took a taxi to the Pennsylvania Hotel, the driver was a black guy, as soon as he saw that Lin Xiao was a yellow man, he regarded him as a Japanese, and said Japanese: "おはよう." Lin Xiao glared at him unhappily: "I'm Chinese, what bird language do you say?"

The black guy grinned embarrassedly and said in blunt Chinese, "I'm sorry." Welcome to New York. Lin Xiao took his luggage into the trunk and said to him, "Go to the Pennsylvania Hotel." When the black guy got into the car, he turned on the stereo, sang along, and danced from time to time, his optimism and enthusiasm greatly infected Lin Xiao, leaving behind the troubles and impending dangers encountered in the past few days, and enjoying the scenery and beauties along the way with pleasure.

When the car met a red light, the black lad would always stick his head out to greet the girl passing by, greet her, praise people, and bring a good mood to everyone he saw. is also a taxi driver, this guy's survival state is compared with the fifty-year-old uncle in China, one lives in heaven, the other is simply suffering in hell, the two have completely different mentalities, one is so optimistic, the other is so melancholy, one is enjoying life, and the other is suffering.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but think: "Why are people's living conditions so different? What causes such a big difference?" This is not only the difference in age, income, and environment, but also the reason for the formation of mentality is complex, there are individuals, families, and societies, after this period of comparison, he feels that he prefers to live in a free, diverse, and leisurely social environment like the United States. There is too much pressure in Chinese society, and everyone is pushing themselves to succeed, surpass others, gain a higher status, get more power and money.

Only in this way can we live better, buy a better house, live in a better environment, and our children can go to better schools, get better education, find better jobs, earn more money, occupy more resources, and then repeat the fate of the previous generation.
