393 Cruel life
The scene was a feast, of course, except for the child who paid for it. Coach Moonlight deliberately ate it, and then gloated at Tong Xing, hoping to see the latter's angry and sad expression, which would make him even happier. However, Tong Xing is still very practical, he paid for it himself, so there is no reason not to eat with him, and the cruel life of the years has made him understand very well that he should be practical - since Moonlight asked his wife to cook for himself, there was no reason to use very poor ingredients.
After eating, Coach Moonlight began to hum a song with his teeth, and everyone knew that he was going to be a prelude to a speech, so they all gathered around.
Escu Moonlight cleared his throat and said, "Now let's talk about the exam." While test scores are important, coaches' ratings are also important. I know which of you is good and who is bad. Some people think that they are okay, so they despise the coach and disobey the organization and management, such a person, if I rate him, it is polite to give him a score of 0. Although the test score accounts for 70 points, the coach evaluation only accounts for 30 points, on the surface, even if the coach score is 0 points, and the test score is full score, then how can it pass, but if our team is very good, everyone exceeds 70 points, then the problem is again - the driving school has regulations, the last place after the comprehensive score, must follow the coach to participate in the next batch of students to learn, of course, the tuition fee must be recalculated, everything must be recalculated. I said, "Do you understand?" "
Everyone said yes. The child's awakening eyes were about to burst into flames, and he really didn't know how he could suppress it. Escu Moonlight patted him on the shoulder: "Look at you, why are you looking at me like this?" With this kind of look at you, I think the coach's evaluation can only be 0 points. Ha ha! By the way, I have to tell you, don't come tomorrow, I've been looking at you a little disgusting lately, aren't you okay? Just wait for the exam! See if you can score 70 on the test! "
With every laugh of Escu Moonlight, his ugly woman chattered and laughed like a pair of disgusting ducks.
"Okay, now that you understand this, let's break the meeting. Tong wake up, you still drive, and when you get to the driving school, it will be gone. "
Tong Xing didn't know how he drove back, but he felt that the vast starry sky couldn't hold his full of bitterness. After coming out of the driving school, I lost my soul all the way and didn't know what to do. I have to work another job tonight, otherwise it will be a real problem to eat in the future.
In today's space-spinning cities, the first generation of residents had vested interests. They firmly believe that if a person is very depressed, he must not work hard, then he is not qualified to build a family and have offspring. And the really poor people don't have time to plan for their lives, they have to pay or even exert a breath of life to earn food, for them, life is first of all survival, success and other words, too far away.
Tong Xing walked back and forth in the market a few times, and while people were not paying attention, he picked up some potatoes and vegetable leaves thrown by the upper-class children when they were playing wildly, and put them in bags that had been prepared long ago, planning to go home and pick them up, but his parents hadn't eaten decent things for a long time. There is also a certain risk in doing so, the market manager has a bunch of fierce cats and dogs, which eat sausages, biscuits and even raw meat, and are absolutely dismissive of potatoes and leaves, but they are trained to pounce and bite if someone steals leftover leaves.
It's home. This is a very old house, and the density is staggering, and both security and hygiene are not even as good as in the era of human government more than 500 years ago. He took out the key to open the door, and saw that his parents were busy working in the house, and the lights were not turned on, for fear that Lang would consume electricity. Tong Xing silently walked to the kitchen and took out potatoes and vegetable leaves tremblingly. Mom and Dad hurriedly stood up and said "we're not hungry" and asked him to just cook alone. They have indeed become accustomed to this kind of life, and generally only eat one lunch of the main eight scenes. However, today is the weekend, and no matter what, he can't bear to let his parents go hungry like this.
The parents of the child have an ancient Asian craft, and will make some complex people, animals, house paper-cuts, and also make some wedding things, in this era of advocating blue, the festive red is replaced by blue, so the house is full of blue. If it weren't for this, the family wouldn't be able to survive now.
But the parents' sense of distress is very strong, and it is not groundless - there is a bad news in the paper-cutting world: a scientist in the sailor civilization has designed a program that can crack the paper-cutting technology, and the machine will make more beautiful, complex and neat paper-cutting in the future, and the price will be cheaper. The parents sighed, they are no longer educated, and they know that people can't fight against computers and robots, but fortunately, they are also open-minded, knowing that this is an inevitable trend, which is what no one did before, and now that someone has done it, it is also a gadget, is it more difficult than designing a spaceship? While the machine is not yet fully operational, I work overtime to do more and accumulate some money.
But Tong Xing knows very well that whether it is the era of human domination or the present, every breakthrough in science and technology will make it more convenient for the middle and above classes, and at the same time tighten the hand that chokes the throat of the workers at the bottom. If you have to say the difference, that is, the sailor civilization has never regarded human beings as one of its own, even if the two races have been completely integrated in the past few hundred years, but only with sailor blood, can you truly be grateful for this high-tech era, and the humble life on the edge can only be slowly worn away to the last trace of ashes, there is no other way.
If you have dinner, it is usually porridge, and the rice can be used for a longer time. The sailor civilization preaches in the textbooks that before the sailor mothership came to the earth, human beings could not even eat the grassroots, and even cannibalism, and it was already a great grace to be able to eat porridge.
Eating is as silent as at other times, as if saying one more word is tears, and saying one more word is Lang's physical exertion. There are few rice, but they are eaten slowly, and every grain of rice wants to be fully digested. This is an era of great technological leaps, and in any case, there should not be a corner where you can't even get enough to eat, of course, these are never mentioned in the textbooks and media of the sailors and upper classes, and these are also unimaginable.
"Wake up, I see why you only have a little balance left in your e-wallet? Mom knows that you need to spend money to fly to the universe in driving school, but you originally spent hundreds of dollars? You can't be such a loser...... I wronged you when I was studying in school before, it was because your parents didn't have the ability, there was no way, but after a few months of studying in driving school, no one knew anyone, so there was no need to compare like this......"
Tong Xing didn't want to explain, saying too much would make them worry, so he said: "I made a small investment, capital preservation, don't worry about the two of you." "
Dad nodded approvingly, but Tong's mother was still not at ease: "Don't let people deceive you." "
Tong Xing was afraid that the child's mother would talk again, so he agreed.
The child's mother wanted to speak and stopped. The boy's father said, "Your mother doesn't love to chatter, but she ...... Your money should be spent where it needs to be spent more, such as blind dates. Now on a blind date, you have to pay at least 50 yuan for a meal, otherwise you can keep other girls? Recently, your mother's old classmate Aunt Chen found you one, when will you meet? "
Tong Xing was silent.
"Wake up, you were born in a poor family like us, and you have indeed been wronged. In terms of appearance and education, if you are a mixed-race person, then your life will be completely different. But who made us come from poverty? The first purpose of finding a partner is to reproduce offspring and be worthy of your Tong family's ancestors! Therefore, Dad is not afraid to tell you that the girl this time is very ugly, if it weren't for that, people would definitely not meet you. You should settle the marriage as soon as possible. Your parents have made paper-cuts for other people's weddings for half their lives, and when they will do it for you, there will be no regrets. "
Tong Xing couldn't even smile bitterly. In this era, human women are a scarce commodity, and no matter how poor the conditions are, girls want to take a step up through marriage, when have they ever picked others? I have been on a blind date so many times, even if the girl is so ugly that she can't look at it directly, or even a woman who has been divorced two or three times, she can't sit in front of her for a minute and find all kinds of excuses to leave, how can she have her own choice? Besides, he also made up his mind, no matter what kind of woman she is, as long as she is willing to live a good life with her, then she will definitely agree, and she can't let her parents down anymore.
"It's ...... The girl's phone. It's said that it's a girl, well, and I've been divorced twice, but I'm still a good person. In this society now, it is already very good that a family like ours can find a woman who has no problems. "
Tong Xing nodded and drank the last mouthful of porridge: "I still have a job to work at night, tomorrow and Sunday...... The coach said that I practiced well, just take the exam, I won't go to training tomorrow, I plan to find another job tomorrow, I will contact her tomorrow night, and we will meet next weekend. "
"No! You have to contact her tonight and see you tomorrow! When will you be a head if you go on like this? You must know that finding a daughter-in-law is much more important than getting a job! Don't worry, your parents won't die of hunger if you eat one less meal! "
Tong Xing saw that his parents were so insistent, so he had to dial the phone under the aggressive gaze of the two of them. In this era, even if the communication tools are high-tech, they are cheap, and they are the only part where the poor can intersect with the rich. This is a thin and small card, which usually only needs to be inserted in the sleeve, popped out and used, and if the other party wants, you can also start stereoscopic imaging face-to-face communication.
There was a lazy and hoarse voice on the other side of the phone, and when I heard it, I knew that it was difficult to have a gentle and tolerant element in my character: "Who? "
"Hello Miss Li, it's a pleasure to meet you," Tong Xingxing cleared his throat, "I am Tong Xing...... introduced by Aunt Battista Chen of the power plant."
"Oh...... You! The woman sighed, "I say, do you have any self-knowledge?" Aunt Chen danced with my mother in the square, and enthusiastically said to introduce me to a partner, but you can introduce you like this...... I really can't resist my mother, so I agreed to meet you only after giving Aunt Chen a face. In my opinion, we've been in touch, so let's not meet. Really, knowing what the result is, what is the benefit of meeting again? Your life is so poor, I am thinking about you, why spend a meal in vain? "
Tong Xing was stunned for a while, and said, "Yes, thank you for your honest......"
"It doesn't matter, no matter how you say it, we are all human compatriots. I know that your own conditions are good, but you are handsome and highly educated, and you can't eat, we all need to live! Who left the sailors too few women? No matter what, we have to try, even if we marry a poor sailor or a half-blood? Then the status will be significantly improved. This is a general trend in society, and don't blame me for being vulgar. Maybe in the future, there will be fewer men in the sailor clan, and you will be more popular because of this? Haha, I wish you a better life, goodbye! Oh! Say goodbye! "
The phone was turned off, only the sound of Didi was particularly harsh, and all three of them lowered their heads, allowing the night to be arbitrarily blackened.
