Chapter 34: The Rich and the Poor
Liu Xiaoxiao took Yan Tong to many brand-name stores to buy clothes, and the waiters in the store were very enthusiastic to receive them. Liu Xiaoxiao bought a bunch of clothes for Yan Tong, and Yan Tong looked left and right in his hand, very happy. "Hitomi-chan, what do you think, how about the stores you went to today?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the happy Yan Tong and asked. Yan Tong was still immersed in the joy of buying new clothes: "It's good, the clothes are also good." Liu Xiaoxiao saw two girls in the distance, dressed very ordinary, and walked into a high-end store. Liu Xiaoxiao pulled Yan Tong to the store and said, "After a while, you have seen everything carefully." Yan Tong looked dazed: "What are you looking at?" As they spoke, they had already arrived at the store.
"Hello." As soon as they entered the store, a shopping guide came to greet Liu Xiaoxiao and Yan Tong. Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, which was a response, and then walked into the store by himself and began to shop, Yan Tong followed behind him with his things. On the other side of the store, the two girls were also picking out clothes, picking and picking out without trying on a single one, and the shopping guide who followed behind her could clearly feel her disdain, although she kept a smile on her face. "This dress is good, it looks good." The girl who was a little taller pulled a trendy dress and whispered. Before the other girl could answer, the shopping guide spoke: "Yes, the beauty has a good eye, this is the new arrival in our store, this year's popular model, not many are issued now, there is only one yard of one code, and now there is a discount, only more than six thousand after discount." These words sound polite and polite. When the tall girl heard this, she immediately put down her clothes, shook her head, and walked to the side.
"You go try on this dress." Liu Xiaoxiao walked to the clothes that the girl was looking at just now, pointed to the clothes and asked Yan Tong to try them. Yan Tong smiled awkwardly: "I, I don't like it." Liu Xiaoxiao patted Yan Tong's shoulder: "How do you know if you don't like it if you don't try it." Put things there, go try it. Yan Tong had no choice but to obediently put down his things, and under the guidance of the shopping guide, he went to the fitting room to change clothes. Do you think I look good? Yan Tong walked out of the fitting room, a little uncomfortable. Liu Xiaoxiao circled around Yan Tong and looked at it carefully: "It's very good-looking, cut the tag and wear it." Yan Tong watched the shopping guide happily cut off the tag, looked at Liu Xiaoxiao with an indifferent look, glanced at the surprised expressions on the faces of the two girls on the side, and smiled awkwardly.
Subsequently, Yan Tong and Liu Xiaoxiao took a big turn in the store and bought several clothes, and the shopping guide would recommend them every time and encourage Yan Tong to try a few more. And those two girls, no matter which dress they like, the shopping guide always tells them the price first, rather than letting them try on the clothes. Yan Tong was a little curious, why is the shopping guide's approach different? The two shopping guides seem to be very kind and polite, but they always give people a weird feeling. "That's all, swipe your card." Liu Xiaoxiao took out a bank card and handed it to the shopping guide. The shopping guide respectfully took the bank card and went to check out respectfully, Liu Xiaoxiao and Yan Tong sat on the sofa, waiting for the shopping guide to send the card and clothes. "Do you see it all?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice. Before Yan Tong could react, he saw the two girls come out of the fitting room and handed a piece of clothing to the shopping guide: "That's it, please pack it." "Okay, please settle the account here." The shopping guide took the clothes and took the two girls to the checkout. "Why are we sitting here waiting while they have to pay the bill themselves?" Yan Tong was a little curious. Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head, signaling that now was not the time for Yan Tong.
"Hello, this is your card, this is your clothes, I hope you will come back next time." When the shopping guide came back, even the title had changed, and his attitude was more cautious. Liu Xiaoxiao took the clothes, got up indifferently, and left the store with Yan Tong, completely ignoring how respectful the shopping guide behind him was, as if all this was as it should be. "Hitomi-chan, have you seen everything just now?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked Yan Tong as he walked. Yan Tong nodded: "I can see it clearly, but I don't understand it a little." Liu Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Xiaotong, this is what I want to tell you, the reality of human society." Rich and poor. "Rich or poor?" Yan Tong was puzzled. Liu Xiaoxiao patiently explained: "In human society, the lives of the rich and the poor are completely different. What determines their lives is money, and money is a very important thing in human society. Yan Tong looked at the clothes in his hand: "Aren't everyone able to afford these clothes?" Liu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Everything you hold in your hand is not something that ordinary people can afford." ”
Yan Tong thought of the two girls just now, and was a little curious: "Then can they afford it, or can't afford it?" Liu Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "I can't afford it." Yan Tong was puzzled: "Since they can't afford it, why should they go to that store?" Liu Xiaoxiao smiled: "This is a complicated human heart." They know that they can't afford to buy those clothes, but vanity, self-esteem, let them buy those clothes. Yan Tong still didn't understand: "I can't afford it, why buy it?" Still don't understand. Liu Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "For example, you like my dress very much, you want to buy it, but you don't have money, what should you do?" Yan Tong pondered for a moment: "I should be sad if I like something but can't afford it." Liu Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "You can't afford it, it's sad, but I wear the clothes you like every day and dangle in front of you, will you feel sad in your heart." Yan Tong nodded: "Definitely, that's not an old heartache." "One day, if you have the money and can buy me a similar dress, will you buy it?" Liu Xiaoxiao continued to ask. "I guess so." Yan Tong imagined.
"In fact, clothes are all things outside the body, and they are all false things, but there are many people in human society who are pursuing these false things and comparing. It's not that everyone cares about these things, but most people do. Some people can even sell everything for these false things. Liu Xiaoxiao said with emotion. Yan Tong analyzed: "Speaking of which, is it still money? Money is important to human beings. Liu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, it's money." Whether you are rich or poor is determined by money, your status in society is also determined by money, and what kind of treatment you will receive when you are outside is also determined by money. Yan Tong looked at the clothes in his hand and thought about the two girls just now: "Then will they envy me very much, just as I envy the Buddha and them." Liu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, you are in their eyes, just like the Buddha is in your eyes." It's just that their envy may be mixed with some hatred. "Hate?" Yan Tong was puzzled. Liu Xiaoxiao took Yan Tong to a Western restaurant and found a corner to sit down.
"Let's talk as we eat." Liu Xiaoxiao finished ordering and continued to explain to Yan Tong. "I arranged for you to live in that place so that you could see with your own eyes the poverty of human society. Some people are poor, not what you can imagine. Yan Tong listened carefully. Your current food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered by me, so you will feel that it is nothing, and you will feel that human society is very beautiful and fun. However, many people are insecure with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and they are struggling to live, and some of these people will be resentful when they see the happiness and wealth of others. That's the second thing I'm going to tell you, good and evil. Liu Xiaoxiao said while eating steak. But let me tell you, neither rich nor poor, good nor evil, is absolute. Liu Xiaoxiao took a sip of water and said. Not absolutely? Yan Tong was puzzled. Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Tong: "Xiao Tong, although you used to be a human being, your memory is gone, so you don't know many things in human society." You just have to remember that the human heart is a very complex thing, and it is very difficult to fathom. If you want to understand the human heart, it is really not easy to purify the filth of the human heart. These can only wait for you to slowly experience it later. After Yan Tong finished eating, he thought back to everything from the morning to the present, in fact, although the human heart is complicated, it is not difficult to guess, many things, at a glance, can be understood.
