The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. It was very uncomfortable.
He simply stopped eating and turned a blind eye to the rice bowl on the table. The Alaskan Malamute was being bullied by the big black dog at home, but he was not in the mood to care. He went straight back to the house to lie in bed and sleep.
"It's getting weirder and weirder. No one provoked him." Wang Yulan muttered a few words and ignored him. She kicked the big black dog out of the yard and gave a salted duck egg to her granddaughter. "It's freshly pickled. Try it and see if it's salty."
"Well, it's oily." Li Ke used his chopsticks to pick up a little. After putting it into his mouth, he praised, "It's delicious. I'm leaving tomorrow. Bring some for me."
"Leaving tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry? Stay at home for a few more days. "Wang Yulan asked.
"Grandmother, I have to work," Li Ke said as he ate. "Women have to be independent. If others have money, it's better to be rich. Otherwise, I'll be looked down upon when I marry in the future."
"Hmph, I'm independent enough. I don't want a man to support me and take care of my food and drink." Wang Yulan snorted coldly. "Who thinks highly of me?"
"Hehe …" Since it involved Li Zhaokun, Li Ke definitely could not understand the lawsuit. She simply laughed dryly and did not speak. After finishing the porridge in her bowl, she hurried back home. It was better for her not to intervene in the affairs of the old couple.
The sun rose early and shone on the wide river, shining. The dew hanging on the weeds trembled slightly and struggled, not wanting to fall.
The big white goose played in the water. Li Lan watched in a daze and forgot about going home to eat. He did not feel so sleepy anymore.
Liu Jiawei carried a bucket from the direction of Pan Guangcai's fish pond. He waved his hand listlessly. "When did you come back?"
"Just got home." Two grass carps jumped around in the bucket. Li Lan asked with a smile, "You went to catch fish early in the morning? Did you have guests? "
"Well, my girlfriend's parents are here." Liu Jiawei still looked sleepy. "That's a good thing. Why are you so tired?" Li Lan was puzzled.
"I didn't expect that …" Liu Jiawei said weakly. He put the bucket on the ground, lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "I'm a little nervous."
"It's normal to be nervous," Li Lan said. "Aren't you going to pick them up?"
"My dad asked my brother to pick them up." Liu Jiawei shook his head. "I don't feel confident about getting married like this."
He had not even graduated from college. Getting married meant that he would have to start a family. Once he had a family, he would have to start taking responsibility. He was afraid.
Li Lan patted him on the shoulder. "There's nothing to worry about. The family's finances are stable. You just have to take care of her and the child."
"That's easy for you to say." Liu Jiawei put on a long face and puffed fiercely. "Why didn't you get married earlier?"
All of his friends, from He Zhou to Liu Shan, were still unmarried. He was the only one who got married first. He always felt like he was an anomaly and slowly became incompatible with the people around him.
"Actually, I've discussed this with Pan Shaojun last time." Li Lan didn't mind expressing his position to everyone. "I really don't like the process of trying to woo a girl. You can call me pretentious or arrogant, but I'm waiting …"
"I finally understand what Pan Ying said." Liu Jiawei sighed.
"What did Pan Ying say?" Li Lan asked curiously.
"Pan Ying said that people like you, He Zhou, and Liu Shan who have better material and social status, have less expectation and dependence on marriage." Liu Jiawei felt that he was more and more different from ordinary people. "Don't be fooled by Liu Shan's constant talk about finding a girlfriend. In fact, if he wanted to, girls would be a dime a dozen."
He was the dumbest, the dumbest.
"You make it sound like your family is poor," Li Lan said with a smile. "I think you have premarital phobia."
"Maybe." Liu Jiawei scratched his head. "Am I being paranoid?"
"That's good. It just proves that you are a very responsible person. You are trying to face marriage and think about it. The more you think about it, the more scared you will be." Li Lan comforted him. "Don't think too much. I'm waiting to drink at your wedding."
"You're still herding geese?"
"Let's go. I'll go back with you." Li Lan helped Liu Jiawei carry the bucket and walked back to the village. "There's nothing to worry about. You can take over any business in the future. It won't be bad."
"You don't even want to get involved in business, so why are you encouraging me?" Liu Jiawei sighed. "My boss is much more capable than I am."
He knew that the family business would definitely belong to his brother in the future. At most, he would be a rich second generation and get some dividends every year.
"That depends on the future." Li Lan shook his head helplessly. Liu Jiawei was still so innocent. He could talk about this kind of family dispute in front of outsiders.
A lot of people gathered in front of the Liu family's door in the morning. It was very lively. Li Lan found that his father was also there. He didn't stay long and hurried home to avoid making trouble.
When he got home, he ate breakfast and wanted to sleep. He didn't feel sleepy, so he sat on the recliner and played with his phone.
"Don't play with your phone so much. It hurts your eyes." He Fang poured him a cup of tea. "Go back and sleep for a while if you're sleepy."
"What era is it? You can learn a lot of the latest information through your phone." Li Lan waved the phone screen in front of his mother. "You don't have to go out and know everything in the world."
"You can say that to me, but don't let your father hear it." He Fang said with a smile. "Your father said that no matter which channel you watch on TV, you can't get any useful knowledge. All you see is rubbish. It's the same with the internet. It's accelerating the advancement of a low-IQ society. It's all led astray by these bad media."
"What do you mean by a low-IQ society?" Li Lan asked with a smile.
"Your father didn't say it clearly. You can ask him yourself when you have time. He probably meant that the decline of IQ starts from a narrow vision. Everyone is used to searching on the internet. Who would want to waste time and effort to remember? " He Fang explained. "There are many things that are led by the public opinion on the internet. Everyone agrees with it in unison. Their views are very emotional."
"Okay, I think I understand." Li Lan naturally wouldn't ask his father. He hoped that he could find a book to read when he had time.
"You think I don't know you?" He Fang seemed to see through his son's thoughts. "Ask him nicely. Your father will tell you."
"It's not a matter of life and death. Why are you in such a hurry?" If his father wanted him to know these things, he would tell him one day. Li Lan was very sure. Seeing that his mother still wanted to nag, he said decisively, "Actually, I've read the book 'The Mob'. It's similar to what my father said.
The internet gathers the huge power of public emotions together. Individuality disappears. Feelings and thoughts go with the flow, forming a group mentality. They are always in a state where they expect to be noticed, so they are very easy to be hinted at. "
"Oh, I didn't know that my son isn't ignorant and incompetent." He Fang couldn't help but tease him. But in the end, she still reminded him, "Read more books if you have time. Don't read those messy things on the internet. Don't read what you shouldn't."
