Chapter 70: A Little Speculation on the Lack of National Self-Confidence
The time was only six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaobai was still busy working, but he had already received a call from his mother: "If there is nothing in the store, come back quickly, my wife is pregnant, you are still so careless, how can it be important to make money with a wife and children, come back to accompany Lin Yatou!" ”
Xu Xiaobai hung up the phone helplessly, thinking that Lin Xing is simply a national treasure now, and then remembered that according to everyone's current posture of pampering Lin Xing, it is estimated that his status in the family will not be guaranteed, but he is afraid that he will have to revolve around Lin Xing in the next eight months. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But who made her his wife, she was pregnant with her own child in her belly. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you still have to serve your wife well in the past eight months.
When I got home, the family was eating, Xu's mother brought dishes and chopsticks, and Xu Xiaobai also joined the meal. During the meal, I listened to Father Lin and Father Xu talking about their future plans, according to the meaning of the two old men, after all, this small city is not conducive to the development of children, and they want to spend money to let Lin Xing go to Hong Kong to give birth to a child.
Hong Kong has a certain degree of popularity in this small city, after all, Hong Kong is not as good as Europe and the United States, go to those two places to have children, if you go through an intermediary, you can't do it without four or five million, but it is much cheaper to go to Hong Kong, and a few hundred thousand is enough, and now the two old people are rich, and these hundreds of thousands of yuan are not taken to heart at all.
But according to Xu Xiaobai's meaning, there is no need to go to Hong Kong to give birth to a child for the sake of the child. He thinks that the mainland is very good, and now the mainland's economy is continuing to grow at a high speed, and has become the main driving force for global economic growth. Why do you have to go far?
In fact, this is a manifestation of a nation's lack of self-confidence. Our nation has been in the leading position in the world for a long time, and the people at that time naturally had the confidence and self-confidence of the subjects of the Celestial Empire, but since modern times, the people who have been invaded and poisoned have begun to blindly worship the West, even today, we have become the second largest country in the world, our people's living standards are improving rapidly, and our infrastructure has surpassed all Western countries, but our national self-confidence has not been recovered. We still feel that Westerners may be inferior to us in hardware, but they are still much more advanced than us in software. Xu Xiaobai does not think so, he believes that in the near future, the mainland will definitely become the world's largest economy, and the people here will definitely live a life that people everywhere else cannot enjoy. Not to mention, there is no country in the world that can match the huge abundance of goods, fast mobile phone payment and overwhelming logistics network.
After eating, under Lin Xing's desperate strong request, the parents on both sides finally agreed to let Lin Xing go out for a walk under Xu Xiaobai's care, and before leaving, they kept explaining that they must go slowly, don't go fast, as if a child will fall out of the stomach if he is not careful.
Walking in the cool autumn breeze, Xu Xiaobai finally had time to chat with Lin Xing about the child. Since returning to his hometown, this period of time has really been a happy time that he has never experienced. The matter of the house was solved, he and Lin Xing had a warm little home, Xiaobai Supermarket restored its original turnover, and recently even began to show a take-off posture, which made him completely relieved of his economic worries, and today he got the good news that Lin Xing is pregnant, for a man, these things are really the biggest things in life.
The two planned that no matter whether they made money or lost money in the future, the million in hand would be kept in the bank as an education fund for their children in the future. Post-80s generations like Xu Xiaobai and Lin Xing are educated to cherish knowledge and pay attention to education. It's okay to be poor, but you can't be uneducated. Although Xu Xiaobai's happy life today has nothing to do with knowledge, he is actually just a **** luck to exchange for a supermarket system, but he and Lin Xing still insist that children must receive the best education. The university that the two of them attended, although it was also a regular undergraduate, was not a first-class university in China after all, which left them with deep regrets. According to Xu Xiaobai's meaning, no matter how poor the child is in the future, he or she will have to go to Fudan Zhejiang University, if he or she has the talent to read, then he or she must provide him or her with the best conditions no matter what, and let him or her go to a place like Harvard or Cambridge to study.
Walking and chatting, chatting and chatting, the topic came to the body of Long Qianshan, who had mysteriously appeared recently. Xu Xiaobai couldn't figure out why Long Qianshan suddenly appeared here, he told Lin Xing about his worries that some zombies might not be cleared, and when he heard this thought, Lin Xing's heart was also a little worried. After becoming an expectant mother, Lin Xing's mood has undergone some subtle changes, in the past, she was most worried about Xu Xiaobai, as long as Xu Xiaobai didn't have any problems, even if the zombies came, as long as Xu Xiaobai was safe, she would be satisfied. But what she is most worried about at the moment is the child in her belly, and she hopes that the child can have the best environment, a clean and zombie-free world. If one day, the existence of zombies threatens the happiness of the child, even if there is only a trace of impact, she will be desperate to fight the zombies.
didn't take a few steps, and a woman came in front of the community, staring at Xu Xiaobai and Lin Xing. Xu Xiaobai thought to himself what this woman was looking at, his eyesight was far better than ordinary people, and he could clearly distinguish the appearance of this woman from afar, she was like most middle-aged women, slightly chubby, stocky, but her clothes were bright, and she was obviously not short of money.
The woman got closer, and Xu Xiaobai finally recognized her, it turned out that this person was the wife of Director Wang of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, who had helped Xu Xiaobai before. At night, the lights were dim, and the woman looked at Xu Xiaobai and Lin Xing from a distance and felt familiar, but because she couldn't see clearly, she didn't dare to recognize each other, so she stared at them from a distance. At this time, Xu Xiaobai had already recognized her and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Regardless of status and identity, Wang Ju did lend a helping hand to Xu Xiaobai when he was in trouble, so Xu Xiaobai respected Wang Ju's wife very much.
Mrs. Wang finally recognized the two, happily stepped forward to greet the two, and greeted them well, and called out obediently in her mouth: "Baby! You little couple are all right, blessings, blessings! ”
Xu Xiaobai took her words curiously: "We're fine, why are you so worried about us." ”
As soon as Mrs. Wang spoke in the vernacular, it turned out that the first time zombies appeared in this city was at Xu Xiaobai's wedding. At that time, the scene was chaotic, and basically more than half of the guests attending the wedding died at the hands of zombies. Later, Xu Xiaobai and Lin Xing have been taking refuge in other places, and Mrs. Wang has been worried about the safety of the two people because she has never seen anyone, and now she sees that the two people are fine, so she has such a big reaction.
"How are you doing at home?" Xu Xiaobai asked her tentatively, because she didn't know the situation at her home, so she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that something had happened to her family.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang's face immediately darkened, and a few tears in her eyes couldn't stop dripping: "Lao Wang and our precious son are fine, pity my sensible and well-behaved daughter......"
