Chapter 5: Voices of the Crowd! Sparks in the prairie fire!

East Lake Garden Community, in a residence.

Ji Qing looked at the picture in the live broadcast room with emotion, sniffed, and slowly came back to his senses.

She is a middle-level manager working in a large company, and she is also a post-90s generation, who is 27 years old this year.

After graduating from university, she came to Hangzhou alone to work hard, and entered the current company with her outstanding ability.

Promoted all the way to a middle management position, he mixed well among his peers.

It's rare that she doesn't have to work overtime today, so she cooked herself a steak when she got home and enjoyed it with red wine, which was very pleasant.

In fact, she quite enjoys this quality single life.

After dinner, Ji Qing leaned on the soft and comfortable sofa, opened the tablet and clicked into the live broadcast room, ready to find some interesting live broadcasts to watch and relax.

Suddenly, she slid her fingers across the screen and froze, and a talk show called "Expert Advice" caught her attention.

The host in the picture is not only young and handsome, but also has a good voice.

This year, the expert is the brick family, and she wants to see what good advice this expert can have.

Maybe the timing of the click in was too coincidental, and as soon as the expert opened his mouth, he said, "It is recommended that the country fully open the three-child policy".

The smile on Ji Qing's face disappeared instantly.

Getting married and having children seems to be a process that must be experienced in life, and you can't escape it.

Speaking of this topic, she couldn't help but look at it, thinking of every time she returned to her hometown for the Chinese New Year...

"Qingqing is not young anymore, don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

"When are you going to get married?"

"If you don't get married, you'll become an elderly woman in two years."

These gossip questions under the banner of concern can be heard N many times a day.

The label of her "older leftover girl" has become a "good story" widely praised in the circle of relatives.

The parents were also very anxious because of this incident, and they urged marriage every once in a while.

But how many of those relatives who care about whether others are married or not really care about themselves all day?

Actually, it's just a joke.

They just want to hear about other people's disappointments so that their lives can be easier.

This is called "happiness is comparative".

She seems to be a little confused, does a woman have to give in when she is old?

Is it true that as relatives say, the most important value of a woman is to have children?

Is it really right to find someone to marry and have children?

In the picture, the host Ye Bai's words shook Ji Qing and pulled her out of the fog.

"Some people are born without worrying about food and clothing, and some people have done their best just to live!"

Ji Qing's whole body trembled uncontrollably slightly, and his eyes moistened.

These words blew the fog away, like an initiation!

Go to his relatives, go to his urging to marry!

We still have to choose our own path, and we can't let others choose for us, even our parents.

Although the future partner does not know where she is, she will try to find it, but she will never give up.

She had countless words to say, and her fingers quickly began to click on the keyboard, sending message after message.

"That's right, to hell with the experts!"

"Now that society is more diverse, marriage is no longer the only option."

......

Meanwhile, inside an office in downtown Sioux City.

Thirty-three-year-old Liu Yi'an has just solved a bug, and while the system is running automatically, he can watch the live broadcast and relax.

It was dark outside, and he was accompanied by endless work and life-sustaining coffee.

As a programmer, he worked overtime every day, went out early and returned late, and in his early thirties, he suffered from an occupational disease.

Mouse hands, rich bags, not to mention cervical spine pain.

His eyes swept to the family portrait on the desk, and a smile appeared on his face.

The family portrait shows them a family of three, with his wife and daughter.

I have been married for five years, and my daughter is four years old.

He has a lot of labels on him, a programmer, a husband, a father of his daughter, and a son of his parents.

How can people reach middle age, how can the word "difficult".

There are old and young, and the burden of the family weighs him down.

Because the first child gave birth to a daughter, his parents have been thinking traditionally and have always persuaded him to have a second child, saying that it is good to have another son to inherit the lineage.

But if the second child is still a daughter, maybe he will be urged to have a third child.

Now that he has raised a child well, he already feels that it is quite difficult.

What would he like to hear from the experts? Should I have a second child?

Who knows, it's okay not to listen, but the words of expert Ren Zeping made him angry.

"Who doesn't have a little money in the family these days, people with a monthly income of 350,000 abound, and they have the money to go abroad casually, how can they have no money to raise children?"

It's really a "good expert" who doesn't know the suffering of the world and pats his head at home and talks eloquently!

When he was angry, he heard the speech of the host Ye Bai in the live broadcast room.

"If you have more children, you have to consider changing the second room to a third room, but the current housing prices, how many people in the working class can afford it?!"

"What's more, raising a child, in addition to economic and material conditions, also requires companionship and family education!

The softest position in his heart, these words touched deeply.

"Accompany and educate children!" What unpretentious words, he wanted to do it but couldn't...

He wants his wife and children to live in a spacious and bright three-bedroom living room, instead of squeezing into a small one-bedroom living room.

He wants to be by his daughter's side every day, instead of just kissing his daughter and sleeping on the face.

He wants to have a happy meal with his family in the evening, instead of missing his daughter's birthday for overtime.

Thinking about it, this man who carried the beams could no longer control his emotions and covered his mouth and cried.

"Tired, so tired." He muttered to himself and cried.

For the first time, I realized what it was like to cry so much that I couldn't even breathe.

After a pause, Levian pulled out the last tissue on his desk and wiped the snot that had hung on his lips.

With a hard sniff, his fingers began to tap the screen quickly.

He wanted to send a comment to support the host, and the host named Ye Bai said it too well.

"What bullshit experts are making a big fuss, they are bricks who don't know the suffering of the people!"

Meanwhile.

The actions of the two of them are not unique.

Viewers across the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, sending barrages and comments.

After a short silence, the barrage in the live broadcast room refreshed at a frantic speed.

"Damn, I'm crying."

"Ye Bai said it so well, it went to my heart."

"It's been a long time since I've cried like this."

"It's good, I'm also a child from the countryside, I have never been abroad, and I still grit my teeth to gain a foothold in a big city."

"Just surviving in this city has already taken all my strength."

"If you want to live, let the experts give birth to themselves."

"Let's solve the problems of housing, education, and medical care first."

The barrage is like the audience's flying mood, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.
