Chapter 38 Social Undercurrent Culture? Start with school! (b)

The bus reported that the port had arrived, and Suni and Yiling held hands and got off the bus.

Less than 50 meters away from the station, the port of Asia is in front of you. Suni walked all the way to it, looking at the huge European classicist building, the pointed roof pointed to the sky, and the painted glass was mysterious and magnificent.

If these two distinctive designs make people mistakenly think that this is the Gothic style, the exterior walls with gold and white as the main tones, and in a trance, make people connect with the Baroque style of the golden period of European royalty in the 16th and 17th centuries -

So prosperous, graceful, and splendid.

Perhaps it is this sense of déjà vu of "local tyrant gold" that reminds Suni of a scene she once encountered. She said to Yiling: "I remember one year on my mother's birthday, I went to the gold store and bought her a string road bracelet as a gift. There are a lot of people in Lao Fengxiang, and when I was picking at a counter, a small couple came next to me.

The man spoke loudly, pointed to a gold chain on the counter, and asked the waiter, 'Is there anything thicker?' I glanced at him and saw that he had a very long, thick one around his neck. It's more exaggerated than the sweater chain we wear in winter.

The man was not tall or strong, with a thin and small figure, wearing such a gold chain, and it felt like the dog chain that Grandma Li used to tie their Chihuahua on the first floor! ”

"Hahahaha......" Yiling laughed.

Suni continued: "I felt so stupid, so I didn't look at him and continued to pick my way. Then I heard the waiter chatting with him, and the man said that he was a demolition household, and that there were several apartments or something, and that he thought that the gold chain he was wearing was not thick enough, so he wanted to change to a thicker one.

I thought to myself: Oh my God, this is like a dog chain, is it too thin? Do you want to change it to a big wolf dog? That's not a dog chain, is it? That's the shackles that lock up the prisoners, right?! ”

"Hahahaha......"

Two people enter the mall, facing the streamlined relief wall, creating a 3D visual effect, and the architectural style transitions from Baroque to Rococo.

However, further on, it looks like an ordinary side-by-side store.

Suni said: "Yiling, you said that the acceptance and respect gained from carrying a brand-name bag and wearing a brand-name watch is called undercurrent culture." But in fact, I sometimes don't understand, why does the value of people have to be measured and expressed by these external objects?

It's like when people have money, they rush to buy gold chains, luxury goods, and so on. ”

looked down at the penguin pendant on his shoulder bag, and said, "You say, will a rich man like Ma Huateng wear a gold chain?" is so rich, so what does his gold chain have to be thick?! ”

"Hehehehe......" Yiling laughed until her stomach hurt, and helped Suni, she said, "You are stupid! Ma Huateng is so famous, he doesn't need to use a gold chain to show his rich status.

In our society, this is the difference in value. Those who are rich and not famous, rely on brushes; If you are rich and famous, just brush your face! Even, rich and famous, they themselves are fashion vanes, understand? ”

"In that case, it's boring. For example, if I have money, why do I have to let others know that I am rich? So that the bad guys will come and rob me? ”

"In order not to be looked down upon! Flaunt your identity! What's wrong with that? Haven't I said it all before? How did you come back around? ”

"No, then I just need to know my identity, so why do I have to advertise it? In addition, I can afford and look down on others! I don't look at them, I'll live mine! ”

Yiling almost fainted, she felt that ordinary people's brain circuits must be crooked, but Suni's may be straight.

So rolling her eyes, Yiling asked, "Then are you a social person?" Do you want to come out to work and mix in the team in the future? As the saying goes, 'where there are people, there are rivers and lakes', as long as a side of water and soil is formed, there is a local rule of the game. Do you think you can escape this kind of rule without looking at people?

If you can really escape, Zhang Ailing will not say, 'You just shaved your hair and became a sister-in-law, just turn into a fate, you are still a dusty fate, and you can't leave people!' ’”

Yiling said, pulling Suni into a store. Although I said that I wanted to buy a watch before I came, when I arrived at the mall, I was first attracted by the Swarovski house, decorated in pink windows. The ornaments of this house are beautiful, the reputation is good, and the brand does not fall.

Most importantly, the price is within the range that young consumers can accept. Therefore, the furnishings and price classifications in the store are, at first glance, carefully designed for the mainstream crowd.

Yiling tried on a few necklaces and bracelets with a price of about 1,000 yuan, and then found that Swarovski also sold watches, but watches of more than 3,000 yuan were still a little too expensive for her, so she took a look, wrote down a few of her favorites, and then walked out and continued shopping.

Yiling said: "Speaking of which, Nini, your pocket money, your parents give a lot, your mother will earn 2600 a month, but she will give you 2000, if you save a little and save pocket money, it will be enough to buy a bag of tens of thousands of yuan!"

But you're actually a moonlight clan! Hey, where did you spend all your money? ”

Suni said: "Food, use, everywhere is a place to spend money, okay?" Oh, I have to use about 700 of my skin care products and cosmetics every month. Then, haircare products, clothes, pants, shoes, pick a cheap one, and it costs 300 to 500 a month, right? For the rest, excluding mobile phone fees and transportation expenses, it's almost all eaten. ”

"Wait a minute! And what about the money you chase stars? Where did you get the money to buy tickets for Guan Yilun's fan meeting before? ”

"Aren't we on holiday in December? I was afraid that my mother wouldn't give me money during the winter vacation, so in November, I advanced with her in advance and asked her for 2 months of pocket money, 4,000 yuan. After the midterm exam, I didn't spend it all.

The taxi money to go to Guan Yilun's fan meeting or something, I asked for it from my dad. ”

Yiling puffed out her mouth, slapped Suni's arm painfully, and said, "So say! You didn't even spend your money! You say that you buy skin care products, cosmetics or something, forget it, that's what you use for maintenance, and the little girl's face is always the most important.

But you really can't get the stars, only you go out, and without you coming in, you can't get any benefits, and you burn money! The contribution you gave to Guan Yilun is enough to buy two Swarovski necklaces! You ......"

Yiling is still making suggestions for paying the "undercurrent cultural fee" carefully, and Suni, who is not interested in "spending money to buy identity and respect", doesn't want to listen to it anymore.

Pinning her face to the side, she saw a dessert shop and interrupted Yiling excitedly: "Yiling, let's go eat!" I haven't eaten breakfast yet! Let's go, let's go......"

couldn't help but say, and pulled Yiling over.
