One was a man and one was a woman.
They had a girlfriend and lived together.
They ate and lived together but did not sleep in the same room.
Xu Wenbin almost believed it.
"When did you quarrel?"
"No quarrel."
"Humph."
Seeing that Xu Qing did not admit it, he did not dwell on this matter, but there was a subtle feeling in his heart.
They quarreled and separated, but he could still be amiable … or he could pretend to eat with them and entertain the old couple. This was not bad.
He seemed to be serious.
Xu Qing did not know what he was thinking, but he felt that Xu Wenbin did not seem to be right.
"You … that's it?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Wenbin asked.
"What do you mean that's it? What's it?" Xu Qing asked.
"Your mother just persuaded me that if you two get married, she will let me give you this apartment. At that time, you can continue to live in it or sell it for a new one …"
Xu Wenbin said in a calm and casual tone, which made Xu Qing raise his eyebrows.
"That's good! When will you go through the formalities? "
"… I've rejected it."
Xu Wenbin said the second half of the sentence. Seeing Xu Qing twitching his mouth, he pushed his glasses and looked at him, saying, "I said you can think about it when you start to work."
"I have a job now."
"Spending a few days to make a video and earning a few hundred yuan is considered a job?" Xu Wenbin sneered.
At first, he thought that this kid was earning a lot. He could make eight or ten videos a day, and he could sit at home and drink tea every day. But after understanding it, he realized that this thing was not that simple, and someone had to watch it.
It was not easy to do anything, and the most important thing was that it was not stable at all. He could earn a few hundred yuan on one video, but the next one might not be watched by many.
"How long can you do this? Or do you want to rely on this to get married? You are living well now, and you don't spend much. What about in the future? "
"There will be a way in the future. What I do now doesn't mean in the future …"
Xu Qing scoffed. He knew what Xu Wenbin was thinking. As he spoke, he suddenly paused and glanced at Xu Wenbin. "How do you know a video can earn a few hundred?"
"I just know."
Xu Wenbin remembered that he had been blocked twice and couldn't help but sigh.
"Can you learn from Little Haozi and the others? Don't stay at home all day doing those irrelevant things … Or be like Li Gaobo and open a shop. If you want to open a shop, I can help you pay for it."
"How much?" Xu Qing asked.
"Let's see what kind of shop you are going to open. Do you want to open one?" Xu Wenbin's eyes lit up.
As long as they didn't make those messy nuptial chamber videos and could do something down-to-earth, he would definitely fully support them.
"No."
"…"
…
"What are they looking at for so long?" Zhou Suzhi sat outside for a long time and refilled several cups of tea, but the two didn't come out.
Jiang He turned to look at the door of Xu Qing's room and said, "They should have something to talk about."
After hearing what she said, Zhou Suzhi also understood what the two of them were looking at …
Xu Qing didn't have any antiques at home.
"They are born to be at loggerheads and often dislike each other. They are always at loggerheads over things that can be explained in a few words. Once you get used to it, it will be fine …"
"Generation gap." Jiang He nodded.
"Yes, generation gap. There is a generation gap."
Zhou Suzhi slapped her thigh and was about to continue when the door to Xu Qing's room opened. The father and son came out. Xu Qing looked relaxed while Xu Wenbin frowned slightly, thinking about something.
Glancing at the door of the storeroom, Xu Wenbin looked at Jiang He and nodded at her with a smile.
This girl is really good.
"You two should change places." He said to Xu Qing.
"Huh?"
Xu Qing didn't react to his random words for a moment. He saw that Xu Wenbin had already picked up the bag on the sofa and was about to leave with Zhou Suzhi.
"Don't you want to stay for a while?" Xu Qing asked.
"No, you two do what you need to do."
"Come to our place more often and have a meal together." Zhou Suzhi said.
"Okay, okay. Be careful on the road."
After sending the old couple out, Xu Qing came back and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"They are urging us to get married."
"Get … get married?" Jiang He suddenly became nervous.
"Yes, get married."
"I know what it means, but … but …"
"But your identity hasn't been settled, so you can't get a marriage certificate."
Xu Qing's words made Jiang He heave a sigh of relief. She hadn't saved enough money …
"And we don't have our own house." Xu Qing sighed.
Previously, he always thought that it would be good to live a carefree and unrestrained life. He didn't care about the high housing prices or whatnot. He just had to live a peaceful life.
When he was 20 years old, his salary would be deducted, and he would retire at 60 years old. He only had a dozen years left to live.
And half of the time would be used to pay off his mortgage.
But …
Xu Qing looked up at Jiang He. Jiang He was also looking at him.
"I'm struggling with something."
"What is it?" Jiang He asked.
"Should I kiss your face or your hand later?"
When he met someone he liked, he actually wanted stability.
…
On the way home.
Zhou Suzhi clearly felt that there was something wrong with Xu Wenbin. He hadn't said a word since he came out. She didn't know what he was thinking about.
"What did you say to Qing Zi?"
"Nothing."
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking …"
Xu Wenbin held the steering wheel and drove slowly on the road. His emotions were a little complicated. He thought for a moment and didn't say anything.
"Times have changed."
Xu Qing said this to him. While he was talking, he was fiddling with the clean and worn-out straw sandal.
"Dad, you have a lot of experience and life experience, but have you ever thought that your life is special?"
Xu Wenbin had never thought about this question.
"Looking at the past thousands of years, not to mention before and after, it's certain that no one has ever done it before. You said that the salt you've eaten is more than the rice I've eaten. Yes, it's more than more.
The decades that you and my grandfather have experienced are more complicated than two hundred years. The landlord is gone, and when you were young, you ate from the same pot and received food stamps. The cows in the cowshed in the village were all shared. A few years later, there was the reform and opening up … "
Xu Qing said it so casually, but it made him speechless.
"You used decades to experience the economic development of mankind for hundreds of years, from food stamps to now …"
"Now it's the 21st century, but you, as a witness to history, still hold on to the old ways and insist on …"
"… Happiness isn't only happiness when you have a full stomach and wear warm clothes. Everyone has a different definition of happiness."
"I know that I'm not stable, but I'm so young. If I want to try, I have to try. I'm still young. If I don't try now, when will I wait?
Wait until I retire? Become an old man, and I have to rely on crutches to adapt to the new era of young people? "
"It's not that it's meaningless to stay at home and not create value. The existence of the video itself is meaningful."
"… Your era was special, but this era is also special. There's not much reference value between the two. Have you ever thought about it?"
Have you ever thought about it?
Xu Wenbin was silent.
"Times have changed …"
"What?" Zhou Suzhi looked at him.
"I'm thinking … times have changed."
"It's long changed."
