In the end, Qin Wan 'er gave him a choice, but Tai Kang still chose to leave. He explained his situation clearly, and everyone could understand.
Man Yu didn't blame Tai Kang anymore. Instead, she pondered for a while. Why didn't she want to go home to accompany her family? This was the biggest difference between a young man and an old man.
People would become more and more concerned about their family as they got older. Man Yu was a young person, so she didn't have that much attachment to her family.
Young people didn't like to spend time with their family. Usually, they had a common characteristic. The most important one was that they were too close to their family. Those young people who were far away from home would cherish the time they spent with their family. After all, they wouldn't spend more than a week with their family in a year.
However, it was different for people who lived in the same city with their parents. Even if they lived separately in a big city, they wouldn't be able to see their parents every day, but they would at least have a chance to see each other for a hundred days every year.
Once there were too many chances to see each other, people wouldn't cherish it.
Therefore, Man Yu would never be in the state of missing her family.
She spent more time with her parents. Even if she was very busy working overtime every day, sometimes when she returned to her own home at night, she would see her parents who would send her delicious food and daily necessities.
Therefore, Man Yu was the kind of person who "didn't know" how to cherish things.
Of course, the other reason why Man Yu didn't have that much attachment to her family was because of the generation gap. The generation gap was something that couldn't be seen or touched, but it really existed.
Man Yu especially didn't like her parents giving her "philosophy lessons" and telling her about life principles.
Actually, this might be a contradiction that existed in every family. Parents would want to instill their own life experiences into their children, but the children didn't want to listen to these things.
These life principles were indeed reasonable, but some of them couldn't adapt to this society. With the rapid development of society, there were indeed a lot of unchanging principles that were far from being as reasonable as they were now.
It wasn't just the people who changed. It was the society that changed too.
Many elders didn't realize the changes in society. They didn't realize that their principles were slowly being eliminated.
Therefore, when they used these principles to educate the young people, the young people would become impatient.
Man Yu was just like that. Her parents loved to preach to her and let her listen to them. It was the same every time they met. That was why Man Yu was not attached to her family.
For young people who were attached to their families, the elders in their families would usually give them a free space. For those who were not attached to their families, they might even feel disgusted. Most of them were taught by their elders using those old-fashioned principles to educate them.
The attitude of the young people depended on the elders.
In fact, there was no right or wrong in this matter. Nowadays, the elderly above 50 years old were, of course, ordinary people. Their concept of money was still "accumulation". To put it bluntly, it was saving money and knowing how to live. They could even live frugally for most of their lives to afford expensive houses for their children.
On the other hand, young people had a different concept of money. What young people faced was different from what their elders had faced.
Young people were faced with expensive things. Thirty years ago, how much did a house cost? It was only twenty to thirty thousand. But now, twenty to thirty thousand yuan per square meter was the price of a non-prime area in a second-tier city. Even the prime areas in third-tier cities cost this much.
Young people these days would need to spend close to twenty thousand yuan to buy a laptop, right?
Dell's Alien, Apple's MacBook Pro, as long as the specifications were high, it would cost more than twenty thousand yuan.
Therefore, young people realized that in today's society, money could not be saved. It was impossible to accumulate money by relying on accumulation. In today's society, the little money you saved over a year was not enough to cover the next year's inflation and currency devaluation.
But the older generation, or rather, the conservatives among the young people, would never understand this principle.
It was understandable that the older ordinary people did not understand this principle. They had lived frugally all their lives. Only then did they understand that only by living frugally could they buy a car when their children wanted a car. Only then could they gather enough money to buy a house when their children wanted a house. Only then could they take out some money to see a doctor when their children were sick …
They would not understand the rules of the circulation of paper money. They would not know the reason why so much money was printed every year.
Just take the matter that Xu Yun and the others were investigating. How much dirty money was transferred out of the country every year in this way?
There were many bastards like Chuanshan in Hua Xia. Although their money was dirty money, it was the "capital" of the people of Hua Xia!
When the money was gone, would the country stop printing? Of course, they would print! Money was constantly being printed!
But too many ordinary people did not understand that the circulation of paper money must not exceed the amount of gold and silver currency it symbolized. Once this amount was exceeded, the paper money would depreciate, prices would rise, and inflation would occur.
Inflation would only occur under the circulation of paper money. Such a phenomenon would not occur under the circulation of gold and silver currency.
Because gold and silver currency had value in itself, its function as a means of storage could spontaneously adjust the amount of money in circulation to match the amount of money needed for the circulation of goods.
Under the circulation of paper money, because paper money did not have value in itself, it was only a symbol that represented gold and silver currency and could not be used as a means of storage.
Therefore, if the circulation of paper money exceeded the amount needed for the circulation of goods, the paper money would depreciate.
Every ordinary person liked to say a sentence: "Money is becoming less and less valuable."
But every ordinary person living in Hua Xia's environment was still persistently saving money and persistently saving money.
Was it really that they did not understand? Or were they worried that if they did not have some savings, they would be hospitalized one day because they did not have money and would be kicked out of the hospital?
Or were their children one day admitted to a famous school with good results, but would be rejected because they did not have money to pay the tuition fees?
Perhaps in a country without the most basic medical and educational security, saving money was the only spiritual sustenance for the people.
Only with this sustenance could people live in this country with peace of mind. Everyone was thinking about the "guarantee" in the future, so they ignored the living conditions of this moment.
Live in the present.
Although these four words seemed simple, it seemed that it was really only suitable for those countries where the citizens did not need to worry about any "guarantee".
In fact, the people of Hua Xia should understand the principle of living in the present. In a country with serious pollution, how could they not live in the present? So what if they got lung cancer because of smog? Even if they spent most of their life savings, it would not be cured at all …
Cruel reality.
Young people were open-minded and might be able to live in the present. Why? Because they all had a kind of subconscious that if they breathed in smog and ate gutter oil every day, they might not even be able to live to fifty years old. So why not live in the present?
