Chapter Twenty-Seven: Twists and Turns#
Because Zhang Songxue planned to take her youngest son with her, Qi Min also called her daughter Mimi.
Originally, Qi Fan and Ji Lian made an appointment to go to the brain-like body, but when she came home on Friday night, her mother asked her if she wanted to go out to play, but Qi Fan still couldn't resist the "temptation" of going out to play, and gave up the "business" of making an appointment with Ji Lian.
Since Zhang Songxue wanted to drive, Qi Min simply took Qi Mi to the agreed place by subway. As soon as I got out of the subway station, I saw Zhang Songxue's car parked on the side of the road. Naturally, it was Qi Min's ex-Ji friend who drove, while her son's grandmother sat in the back seat holding the child.
Wei Siyue's mother, Ms. Pei Hongran, met Qi Min when she was in middle school. At that time, she also took Wei Siyue's car to school every day for a while, and Ms. Pei Hongran sent them. Qi Min didn't feel like seeing her own mother Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong every day, but after several years of seeing Ms. Pei Hongran again, she suddenly found that her parents' generation was already so old. In my impression, Ms. Pei Hongran is still the aunt who dresses fashionably with short ear-length hair, but at this time she is already a grandmother who helps her son take care of her grandson after retirement.
"Hey, Lele, why do you look a little taller." Ms. Pei Hongran stretched out her hand and patted Qi Min's shoulder, and then looked at Qi Mi, "This is Mimi, the little girl is so beautiful." ”
"Auntie, how is it possible, I haven't grown up for more than ten years." Qi Min teased and pulled her daughter again, "Mimi, this is Grandma Pei." ”
"Hello Grandma Pei." Qi fans have always been very well-behaved in front of outsiders.
Then Zhang Songxue showed Qi Min her youngest son Coke, who had just turned one year old, - because Wei Siyue likes to drink Coke very much, he named his son "Coke". The little guy doesn't look as good-looking as his mother, and it's estimated that it's a grade like his father. However, as the son of Qi Min's former Ji You and good buddies, of course she can boast of flowers.
Qi Min sat in the passenger seat, and let Qi Fan and Ms. Pei Hongran sit in the back seat. She was a little worried that Zhang Songxue wouldn't be able to bring Coke alone, but since Ms. Pei Hongran was here, she didn't have to worry at all, she could hang out with her former Ji friend in front.
And Qi Min is idle, and it will inevitably involve Zhang Songxue's emotional problems in recent years. Eight years ago, Qi Min heard that Zhang Songxue and Wei Siyue seemed to have some problems before, but she didn't take it seriously at all. Qi Min felt that her ex-Ji friend had been in love with her buddy for more than ten years, and even if the marriage time was delayed, it was nothing. But she ignored that at that time, Zhang Songxue's parents urged her to get married, and she was also provoked by some anxiety-selling remarks in the society at that time, and felt that she had to get married and have children quickly.
Qi Min still knows Wei Siyue well, and knows that her buddy Da Yue belongs to the kind of personality that is more wooden, and she doesn't know what Song Song is thinking at all. Therefore, Zhang Songxue broke up with him as soon as her mind was hot, and when she was hot-headed, she hurriedly married the blind date introduced by her parents before the age of twenty-nine. At that time, it was the time when the brain-like body was being commercialized, and Qi Min was as busy as a dog, and she didn't have time to care about her ex-Ji friend. As a result, when she was done, she found out that Zhang Songxue had married a person she didn't know before, and she also gave birth to a daughter.
But as Qi Min believes, the destined "proofreader" cannot be separated. Blindly following the trend of marriage soon exposed serious problems, especially after giving birth to a daughter, the marriage partner squeezed Zhang Songxue's time in the name of "for the good of the child", which soon made her face the problem of choosing between "continuing the marriage" and "avoiding unemployment". Zhang Songxue naturally chose to "avoid unemployment" - it's funny, how can she be compared to her work of studying diligently for four years and putting into practice for N years.
Then Zhang Songxue married Wei Siyue, who almost became an older leftover man. I have to say that thanks to Wei Siyue's wooden personality and busy work, even if his girlfriend got married on a blind date, he didn't find anyone else. All in all, this is still a good ending, and Zhang Songxue and Wei Siyue also gave birth to Coke, which can be regarded as the crystallization of love.
Unlike Qi Min, Zhang Songxue originally liked children. But at the time of the divorce, she gave custody of her daughter to her ex-husband - no normal person would want to take over a bear child who was used to being a little princess by her ex-husband's family, and this child was still the source of torment for her in that marriage. But Coke is different, and the child she likes, even if she doesn't look so good-looking, she still likes it.
Qi Min didn't understand Zhang Songxue's differential treatment very much, and she hadn't seen how bearish Zhang Songxue's eldest daughter was, but said, "Songsong, why don't you take your daughter when you come out to play?" The child must be six years old, where will he go to school? ”
"Wow, go to virtual school." Zhang Songxue said, "It's neither a unit co-construction, nor a good school district allocation, it's just average." ”
Zhang Songxue was angry that her ex-husband would rather her daughter go to an ordinary school than hang her daughter's household registration under her house. Their family is used to her daughter, because the little girl has their surname, and she has always been just an outsider.
Qi Min also knew that Zhang Songxue didn't want to get involved in her ex-husband's affairs, and there was Ms. Pei Hongran listening to her behind, so she said: "That's right, anyway, just give enough child support, you don't need to bother to do your best." ”
"And the number of places in the family's house and school according to the film has to be used by Coke." Zhang Songxue said, "Objectively, it's not easy to get it. ”
If there are several children in the same household going to school, they can naturally use it, but after the divorce and a new family, naturally there is only a place for coke. At this time, if the quota is lent out, Zhang Songxue's eldest daughter has not graduated from middle school, and Coke will have to enroll in primary school, and this time still overlaps.
Qi Min couldn't help but feel that the problem of education distribution in Beijing has been around for a long time, but now it is a virtual primary school and a virtual middle school, but it still has not been solved. This may reflect that the problem is not a lack of resources, but an uneven distribution. However, in this era of class solidification, how can distribution be equalized? Wages hide from the bottom, the middle class excludes them, but the real bourgeoisie will not let their children be in the company of the middle class.
It is true that social development goes hand in hand with technological progress, but it is not necessarily that the increase in productive forces will necessarily bring about changes in the relations of production. Revolutionary inventions such as brain-like bodies have so far only replayed the contradictions of reality in the virtual world once.
It's just that Qi Min is very low-key personally, and she hasn't revealed to her relatives and friends that the brain-like body is her invention, otherwise it will definitely be a scolding thing.
Hearing Zhang Songxue say that she planned to wait for Coke to be three years old, she would install a callosum interface for him and send him to a virtual kindergarten in the brain-like body, Qi Min only echoed a few words on the side, and did not express any opinions on this.
