"Are you adopted, or have you settled elsewhere?"
Yang Fan sat down next to the sewer pipe, a little confused and a little lost.
In the end, there is no fate.
Unexpectedly, the meeting a week ago would be their last meeting.
In the past, Yang Fan wanted to take the princess-like lotus away, it was so beautiful.
Very aristocratic and wealthy, and very attractive.
But before Yang Fan could take action, these two very attractive stray cats were caught and adopted.
Unexpectedly, I am also a common person who dislikes ugliness and loves beauty.
Yang Fan sat on the ground and confessed.
But not long after, he got up.
Goodbye to the black cat-like Xiao Hei raised by the witch and the wild Xiao Hui!
He got on his scooter and left.
Aunt Thirteen, Guoguo, and Liu Qianqian were waiting for him in Tongtianyuan.
Fortunately, he did not set becoming a saint as his life goal, otherwise he would have been very miserable every day.
Not long after Yang Fan left.
A gray tabby cat, limping along with a young black kitten, walked through the grass in a wasteland and returned to its former home.
"Everyone in the world knows that immortals are good, but they can never forget their fame! Where are the generals of ancient and modern times? A pile of grass has disappeared in the barren tomb."
After bringing the little black cat back, the tabby cat lay down "at the door of the house" to rest. His ears recalled the words he had heard here, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
The front door of the house is clean, and the street cleaners are very dedicated. After he and Xiao Hei are gone, they clean away the paper bowls and food residues.
"It's better here." The civet cat lay on its stomach and made a weak voice.
The little black cat sat aside and licked the wounds on the legs and body of the tabby cat.
In the past, it was civet cats that licked the hair of young black cats.
Now, the civet cat no longer has that strength.
Just when it was about to fall asleep, the young man's voice rang loudly in its ears again, like a loud bell.
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only gold and silver cannot be forgotten! In the end, I only regret that there are not many people together, and my eyes are closed for a long time. Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only my beloved wife cannot be forgotten! I express my kindness on your birthday, and your death will follow you. People are gone. Everyone knows that gods are good, but only their children and grandchildren can never forget them! There have been so many infatuated parents, but who has seen their filial children and grandchildren?"
The civet cat became energetic, opened its eyes, and tried to stand up.
In front of me, stood a man who looked like a god, with light on his body and a smile on his face.
"Hello human, can you help me take in Niuniu? She is not an ominous cat, she is very kind and gentle." The civet cat raised its head, looked at the tall and mighty young man, and made a request.
The young man looked compassionate and said, "Okay!"
"Thank you!" The civet cat knelt down.
The next moment, it raised its head.
The sight was empty, not a trace of human beings.
The little black cat on the side gave a puzzled look and asked what was wrong with the civet cat.
The civet cat lowered its head secretly and said softly: "Niuniu, you are not going anywhere, right here, that person will come to pick you up. Remember, don't go further."
After that, it lay quietly next to the pipe and gradually became silent.
A few kilometers away.
Yang Fan rode his electric bike and happily rushed to Tongtianyuan.
He would never pass through that wasteland again.
Because after that, this place was contrary to his route home from get off work.
When Yang Fan rushed to Tongtianyuan, Thirteenth Aunt's car, the black luxury car, had already driven out of the main city area, kept running at high speed, and sped towards the Qianjiang River.
More than half an hour later, Yang Fan arrived at Tongtianyuan, which is slightly remote.
The geographical gap of Tongtianyuan is even more exaggerated than that of most places in the city, and it occupies a very large area.
It used to be a "barren land" that no one cared about, but with the development of urbanization, buildings have been built one after another.
Barren hills became parks and woodlands became resorts.
When construction first started, the area occupied by the community was very exaggerated. Later, part of it was divided into parks and greening.
Even so, the place is still sparsely populated.
Until now, the occupancy rate of the community has not exceeded 40%, but various supporting facilities have been very complete.
At least there are various supermarkets and convenience stores within a kilometer or two of driving from Thirteenth Aunt's villa.
If you drive a few kilometers further towards the city center, you can also enter a large business district with everything you need.
At the foot of the mountain, Yang Fan accidentally discovered that his face and electric license plate had been entered into the community system, and he could enter and exit the community freely.
Entering the villa area that was isolated from the apartment area, Yang Fan didn't find another electric car.
For people who live in such a place, mobility scooters are not available as battery-powered scooters.
Either a luxury car worth millions, or a high-end car worth hundreds of thousands.
Riding a bicycle through the villa area, Yang Fan finally understood why Aunt Thirteen said that living here would not have a wide view.
The greening is so good. During the development and construction, many ancient trees were preserved, blocking out the sky and the sun.
The green trees on both sides of the road are no more impressive than the old trees in the mountains. They are very tall and lush.
It must be pruned every year, otherwise it will encroach on the low-lying areas of the road.
According to the navigation positioning, Yang Fan turned around in the villa area and came to the gate of a small courtyard.
The door is very plain and unpretentious, made of steel and aluminum alloy, and the color is not bright, but it looks new and does not look like it was installed a few years ago.
In the car, Yang Fan was about to call Aunt Thirteen when the door slowly opened inward.
The door is large, minibuses can get in and out without any problem.
After the door opened, Yang Fan could see a very wide road inside. The road was lined with green plants and was very dense.
The space in the small courtyard is larger than Yang Fan imagined.
When Yang Fan rode in, the door closed automatically.
After riding forward for more than thirty meters, Yang Fan saw that there was a slope at the end.
There are no walls or signs of isolation. Yang Fan doesn't know yet how much space down the slope belongs to this villa.
The villa stands on the right side of the entrance avenue. It has only three floors. Judging from the building area, it is not very large.
At least it looks much smaller than the villa of Liu Yueyue and Liu Qianqian's family.
Yang Fan has never been to the Liu family's villa, but he has seen photos and it looks like a small castle.
The Liu family is located within the urban area. In this kind of place, no matter how rich you are, it is impossible to build a big castle.
Twelve is an invisible super rich woman. Her Twelve City can only be built in the suburbs and cannot find such a large open space in the city.
There are three open-air parking sheds at the end of the courtyard road, but now only one car is parked inside.
That was Liu Qianqian’s Princess Run.
Yang Fan was wondering why Thirteen's luxury car was not there when he saw Liu Qianqian waving to him down the slope.
"Yang Fan!" Liu Qianqian stood excitedly outside the door of a helicopter that looked a bit like a military helicopter.
Yang Fan was surprised. The villa was not big, but the yard was a bit ridiculously big.
Down the slope there is not only an apron, but also a swimming pool and half a basketball court...
This is not so much a yard as a small park.
Rockery, fake water and real garden, I sat up in shock while dying of illness.
Standing on the slope, Yang Fan felt relaxed and had the urge to burn my calories.
This is a garden where people can exercise, exercise, relax, and walk, and enjoy absolute private space.
At the end of the garden is a separated wall with a gap. Although the view is not as wide as the balcony of Thirteenth Aunt's apartment in the city center, you can still see the prosperity of the main city in the distance through the gaps in the ancient trees or above the canopy.
The walls on both sides are solid and very high.
You can't see outside the wall from inside the wall, and you can't see inside the wall from outside the wall.
When riding over, Yang Fan also discovered that this villa was relatively independent and some distance away from other villas.
There is a sense of isolation and absolute independence, but not separated from the world.
This is true tranquility amidst the chaos.
When he lived in the apartment, although the houses were close to each other, in fact, after living there for more than two years, Yang Fan only met the residents on the same floor a few times.
He didn't talk every time because after he said hello, the other party didn't seem very willing to talk to him.
In this way, when they meet again, Yang Fan will not disturb others, and everyone will go about their own business.
In the garden, there are two humanoid robots stationed on each side.
They look like intelligent robots from science fiction movies, but their appearance is not that flashy and dazzling. They are simply decorated and don't have that many bells and whistles.
"Dad, dad..." Yang Fan was about to go downhill for a walk when Guoguo's shouts came from the villa behind him.
Yang Fan turned around and saw the little fairy-like Guoguo lying on the hollow railing of the balcony on the second floor, waving to him.
There is a large open space in front of the villa, which is enough for several groups of people to dance in the square together, not to mention having a barbecue and party.
On the balcony, a mini humanoid robot with legs and wheels on the heels followed Guoguo.
"Where's mom?" Yang Fan asked Guoguo on the balcony.
"Mom just took a shower and was drying her hair." After saying that, Guoguo ran back to the back room and wanted to go downstairs to find Yang Fan.
The personal nanny folded her feet and walked on wheels, following behind Guoguo.
Before Guo Guo came downstairs, Liu Qianqian came back from the helicopter first.
She walked a little hastily, her face turned rosy, and she gasped slightly: "I envy Aunt Thirteen. When I came here last time, the yard was not so big, and now it has expanded at least twice. The surrounding wasteland has turned into a garden overnight. Similar."
Yang Fan was confused: "Last time? When did you come here with Aunt Thirteen?"
The mountain breeze blew, carrying the breath of nature, Liu Qianqian's skirt fluttered, and she took Yang Fan's arm. She raised her head and smiled: "You will know when you come back the day after tomorrow."
There is no difference in height between Liu Qianqian and Yang Fan to the point of needing to look up, but like Thirteenth Aunt, she likes to lower her profile to make herself appear smaller and more clinging to others, so as to gain Yang Fan's stronger desire for protection.
Girls all want to be taken care of, which is why many girls don’t like to find boys who are smaller than themselves.
You will not feel the pleasure of being cared for and taken care of.
A girl who is 1.7 meters tall looks for a boy who is 1.6 meters tall.
Why is the little bird clinging to people
How to act like a spoiled child
"Why wait for the day after tomorrow?" Yang Fan asked.
Before Liu Qianqian could answer, Guoguo ran out of the French door of the villa, followed by the gliding robot.
If you haven't come to the garden, you really can't tell that the main entrance of the villa is on this side.
Before entering the yard, Yang Fan saw the small door at the back of the yard.
The back door of the villa inside the small door looks very luxurious, and it is exactly the same as the front door of an ordinary villa.
"Dad, can we go to grandma's house?" Guoguo ran into the small square.
"Well, I don't have anything ready. I'm waiting for mom." Yang Fan touched Guoguo who was holding the corner of his clothes.
It could be seen that she had taken a shower not long ago.
Aunt Thirteen just thought too much. When meeting her boyfriend's parents, she was so solemn. Not only did she take a bath first, but her daughter also took a bath.
Liu Qianqian asked quietly: "Yang Fan, Aunt Thirteen has already taken a shower. This is the first time I'm meeting your parents. Do you want me to take a shower before setting off?"
"No, aren't you going to wash it at night?" Yang Fan was speechless.
He remembered a word: involution.
Aunt Thirteen was the instigator and led a bad example.
The original meaning of involution is that after a cultural model reaches a certain final form, it can neither stabilize nor transform into a new form, but can only continue to become more complex internally.
For example, a company originally strictly followed a nine-to-five work and rest system. But after a certain recruitment, a workaholic joined the company. He didn't get off work until 9 o'clock every night. The boss was very happy and encouraged him. After seeing this, other people also got off work at 9pm for the so-called competition, but the actual workload was not that much. Many employees reduce efficiency to make up for their working hours. This irrational and unhealthy state of competition is called involution.
There is another story that clearly illustrates the evil of involution.
A long time ago, there was a small town.
There are many shoe shops in the town. These shoe shops open at 10 am every day, have a lunch break from 12 noon to 2 pm, and continue to operate from 2 pm to 6 pm. They are open 5 days a week from Monday to Friday and are closed on weekends.
During the hottest days of summer, shoe store owners will close their stores one after another and go to the southern seaside for vacation.
During the coldest days of winter, shoe store owners will close their stores one after another and go skiing in the mountains in the north.
Over the years, the permanent population of the town has remained unchanged, the quality of shoes has always been excellent, and the supply has been stable.
The supply and demand relationship for shoes in this small town has always been in an almost perfect balance.
Then one day, a family moved from a big city to a small town and opened a shoe store.
Although the town is small, it can still be considered to be of a certain scale, and the balance of supply and demand for shoes will not be broken by the addition of a new shoe store.
However, the family from the big city is known for being hard-working and able to endure hardships.
Their shoe store opens at 7 o'clock every morning, does not take a lunch break, and does not close until 11 o'clock in the evening. They are also open on weekends and never go on vacation in summer or winter.
Gradually, their "diligence" paid off, and the business of their shoe store was significantly better than other shoe stores in the town.
In the past, people in small towns could not buy shoes after dinner, but now, they can almost always go to shoe stores owned by people from big cities to buy shoes, so there is no need to patronize other shoe stores.
Bosses in small towns refused to admit defeat and imitated the work schedules of people in big cities, working 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Diligence" has also been "rewarded": their operating income has returned to its previous state.
But what changes have taken place in small town life since then
The population of the town has not increased, and the demand for shoes has remained constant. As before, the final operating income of each shoe store has not changed and will not grow.
But the business hours have changed from 5 days a week and 6 hours a day to 7 days a week and 16 hours a day.
In other words, their working hours have become longer, but their income has not increased.
Yang Fan went upstairs and found Aunt Thirteen, and after making out with her behind Liu Qianqian and Guoguo's back, he told her this truth.
Aunt Thirteen felt it was right, but she was still a little unhappy after being criticized: "If you don't say anything before you kiss me, only say it after you kiss me, you're burning a bridge over the river."
