Newspapers are considered half an antique now, and it always makes people feel that they will withdraw from the trend of history one day.
According to tradition, newspapers are usually bought at newsstands, but in this city, even newsstands are rarely seen.
Internet news is very convenient now, as long as you turn on your mobile phone, you can browse various sections at will, but after reading too much, Xu Wenbin found that the Internet is extremely one-sided, and it is reversed at every turn. Like a serial drama, various versions emerge one after another. If you don’t watch it for ten days and a half months, it’s hard to even know the truth. Only after a long time has passed and the dust settles, can you find the full story by doing a dedicated search.
But then, what's the point of news
Xu Qing can tell which official media are self-media, which are blue v with crooked buttocks and no credibility. Xu Wenbin is too lazy to distinguish these. After the initial period of freshness, newspapers are still fragrant.
After closing the newspaper, Xu Wenbin folded it and put it away. Seeing that Xu Qing was still eating grapefruit, he opened his mouth first.
"Say something directly."
"Don't be nervous, I don't want a house." Xu Qing said.
"If you want me, I won't give it to you. Just give up. You're the only one who is fooling around every day..."
Xu Wenbin hummed, took a sip from the big teacup, and continued: "What is that? Come and find me to arrange a job for you to go to work?"
"Can't I come and walk around?"
Xu Qing looked left and right, "Where was the newspaper I brought over last time? The one I did for justice..."
"Then sit down, I'll lie down for a while." Xu Wenbin made a gesture to get up, not wanting to listen to his nonsense.
Gossip may have thrown people in at some point, so that's not the way to go.
"Wait, that's all. Didn't you ask Aunt Cheng about Jiang He?"
"Who asked?"
"Aunt Cheng made it up?"
"...I parked the car there, she chatted with me, and turned around while talking." Xu Wenbin said.
"Yes, by the way, chatting." Xu Qing nodded, not entangled in this matter, put down the grapefruit peel in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, sat upright and said:
"You know all about Jiang He. Is there any way to solve it? If this is resolved, we will get married and have children right away."
Xu Wenbin was surprised when he heard the words, and asked back, "What's none of my business?"
"..."
"Your girlfriend, what's the matter with me, didn't you tell me last time, you can find a way to solve it for her, just go."
"Dad, I am your son."
"Don't give me this set."
"All right, all right, then I'll find a way to solve it myself." Xu Qing sighed.
I originally thought that the last time Xu Wenbin ran over to inquire about it, he was secretly helping, but now I suspect that he brought back netizens from the north of the mainland.
Or just holding back something...
Xu Wenbin got up and took today's newspaper to the study and put it away. In fact, the newspaper still has some collection value.
Like various major festivals, the special issue of the 50th anniversary of the Millennium Olympics, the layout is festive, and the words and current events have a sense of age. He has accumulated a thick pile and kept it preciously.
Ordinary newspapers on weekdays are pressed in the corner and placed casually.
Pulling out the newspaper with Xu Qing, Xu Wenbin curled his lips. The last time the newspaper was able to handle this kid, he felt that Xu Qing could boast with him for a year.
"Unless you are honest with me, don't mess with the live broadcast and act like a normal person. I'll help you find someone to ask. If you two get married, the house is not out of negotiation."
Xu Wenbin came out of the study, opened his mouth slowly, sat on the chair, took a sip from his teacup, and looked at Xu Qing.
"Where am I dishonest?" Xu Qing was very surprised.
"Then you can fix it yourself. Anyway, you two are just talking about friends. Maybe when we break up, it will be the most convenient."
"... Dad, it's impossible."
"Hmph, is it possible that you have the final say?" Xu Wenbin sneered.
It's just these two people who have nothing. Every day they stay at home to do some live broadcasts and videos, and they don't even have an ID card. Not to mention that he doesn't like it, even Qin Maocai, a fool, can see the problem.
"I didn't go out to spend money, and I didn't go out to cause trouble, so I lived my life with peace of mind, what's wrong?" Xu Qing continued to eat his grapefruit, anyway, he didn't eat for nothing.
"It's happy now, can you still be like this in a few years?"
"sure."
"..."
Xu Wenbin wiped his eyes, and said, "Wait a few years later, everyone else has already married and started a business, but you still can't achieve anything, and you will regret it at that time."
"What does it mean to accomplish nothing?" Xu Qing asked.
"You know it yourself."
"I don't know, what I do know is that you have always been biased against me and the things I do."
Xu Qing shook his head slowly, swallowed the grapefruit in his mouth and said, "Who are the others? Dad, don't always think that I am your son, just do what you want. In all fairness, how many people of my age can achieve your ideal?" standards? It’s really outdated to use the same set 20 years ago.”
"My ideal standard?"
"Have you really understood the young people nowadays? Mouse has been admitted to be a civil servant, and that's a minority. People like me, even if they work outside, are lucky to find a good unit, and their monthly salary is just enough to eat and live. Not good, I still have to get money from home to pay the rent after I work.”
Xu Qing spit out a small piece of skin from his mouth, and continued: "Since I graduated, I don't ask my family for money every month, and I pay you a rent that is higher than the average price every month. Do you think everyone can do it? Like this? What's more, I don't have to squeeze the bus and subway from nine to nine in the morning and nine to nine nights every day, and stay in the cubicle for a whole day, and I don't come back from working overtime during the holidays... "
"You insist on comparing yourself with the bad ones, why don't you compare yourself with the good ones?" Xu Wenbin said.
"The really bad ones are old. I'm talking about the most common ones. It can even be said that they are good. Those who entered a big company in the same class, 996 every day, more than 10,000 after tax a month, are already considered elites. Yes, it's true."
"Then you don't use 996, are you the elite of the elite?" Xu Wenbin couldn't help laughing.
He didn't ask Xu Qing to make a lot of money a month, he just found a stable job in a serious manner, and he didn't get any messy armor, thank God.
Now that Xu Qing said so, making that armor can only be done by social elites
absurd.
"Dad, no matter how much you look down on what I did, you have to admit it."
Xu Qing sighed, "I can save tens of thousands of dollars by myself in school, stay at home and pay your rent every month after graduation, and save money by myself, which is really beyond the reach of most people .”
"and then?"
"In a way, I'm working hard and I'm excellent."
He paused, looked at Xu Wenbin and said seriously: "There has never been such a thing as accomplishing nothing, the so-called accomplishing nothing is just not living up to your definition of success, what is met is only your expectations.
You want me to live like you, but if I don't want to, you just say I can't do anything, that's not right. "
