Newspapers are considered half an antique now, and people always feel that they will disappear from the historical trend one day.
According to tradition, newspapers are usually bought at newsstands, but in this city, even newsstands are rarely seen.
Online news is very convenient now. You just need to switch on your mobile phone to read any section. After reading for a long time, Xu Wenbin found that the internet is extremely one-sided, and it will often twist and turn to attract attention. A good news can be forcibly turned into a TV series, with various versions emerging one after another. If you don't follow the news for 10 days to half a month, it will be difficult to know the truth. You can only wait for a long time to settle, and then search for the complete story.
But in this case, what is the point of the news?
Xu Qing can distinguish which official media is self-media, and which are untrustworthy Blue V, but Xu Wenbin is too lazy to distinguish these. After a period of novelty, newspapers are more fragrant.
After closing the newspaper, Xu Wenbin folded it and put it away. Seeing Xu Qing is still eating the grapefruit, he spoke first.
"Just say it."
"Don't be nervous. I am not asking for a house." Xu Qing said.
"Even if you want it, I will not give it to you. Just give up. You are always so sloppy …"
Xu Wenbin snorted, picked up the big teacup, took a sip, and continued: "What is that? Come here to ask me to arrange a job for you? "
"Can't I come here for a walk?"
Xu Qing looked left and right. "Where is the newspaper I brought last time? The one that I acted bravely for … "
"Then you sit down. I am going to lie down for a while." Xu Wenbin pretended to get up. He does not want to listen to his nonsense.
Who knows when he will be fooled by his nonsense. He will not fall into this trap.
"Wait, didn't you ask Auntie Cheng about Jiang He?"
"Who asked about him?"
"That was made up by Auntie Cheng?"
"… I parked my car there. She came to talk to me, and as we were talking, we turned around," Xu Wenbin said.
"Yes, yes. She chatted with her." Xu Qing nodded and did not dwell on this matter. He put down the grapefruit peel in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and sat up straight.
"Jiang He, you already know about this matter. Is there any way to solve it? If it's settled, we'll get married and have kids right away. "
Xu Wenbin was surprised and asked, "What does that have to do with me?"
"…"
"She's your girlfriend. Why would I care? Didn't you say it last time? You can think of a solution for her. Just go."
"Dad, I'm your son."
"Don't give me that."
"Okay, okay, then I'll think of a way to solve it myself." Xu Qing sighed.
Initially, he thought that Xu Wenbin had secretly helped him when he went over to ask around. Now, it seemed like he was suspecting that he had brought some netizens from the northern mainland back.
Or, he was suppressing something …
Xu Wenbin got up and took today's newspaper to the study to put it away. In fact, the newspaper still had some collectible value.
For example, the special issue of the 50th anniversary of major festivals and the Millennium Olympics. The layout was festive, and the words and current events carried the weight of the era. He had accumulated a thick pile of them and kept them carefully.
The ordinary newspaper was pressed in the corner and placed casually.
Pulling out the newspaper with Xu Qing's name, Xu Wenbin curled his lips. Last time, the newspaper said that this kid was very capable, and it seemed that Xu Qing could boast to him for a year.
"Unless you behave yourself and don't do that stupid live broadcast or whatever. Be like a normal person. I'll help you ask someone. If you two get married, the house is not out of the question."
Xu Wenbin came out of the study and said slowly. He sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and looked at Xu Qing.
"How am I not behaving myself?" Xu Qing was very surprised.
"Then you do it yourself. Anyway, you two are just friends. Who knows when you will break up. It's the most convenient."
"… Dad, it's impossible."
"Humph, it's not up to you to decide. Are you a fortune-teller? "Xu Wenbin sneered.
These two people had nothing. They stayed at home every day doing live broadcasts and videos. They didn't even have ID cards. Not to mention that he didn't think it was good, even a big fool like Qin Maocai could see that there was something wrong.
"I didn't go out to spend money, and I didn't go out to cause trouble. I'm living my life in peace. What's wrong?" Xu Qing continued to eat his grapefruit. Anyway, it would be a waste not to eat it.
"You are happy now. Will you still be like this in a few years?"
"Yes."
"…"
Xu Wenbin took off his glasses and wiped them. He said, "Wait a few years. Others will have started a family and a career, but you still haven't achieved anything. You will regret it then."
"What do you mean by haven't achieved anything?" Xu Qing asked.
"You know."
"I don't know. What I know is that you have always been prejudiced against me. You have a prejudice against what I do."
Xu Qing shook his head slowly and swallowed the grapefruit in his mouth. He said, "Others have started a family and a career. Who are they? Dad, don't always think that because I'm your son, I can do whatever I want. In all fairness, how many people my age can meet your ideal standards? You still use the same set of standards from 20 years ago. It's really outdated. "
"My ideal standards?" Xu Wenbin looked at him.
"Do you really understand young people nowadays? It's rare for someone to become a civil servant. At my age, even if I work outside, if I'm lucky enough to find a good unit, my monthly salary is just enough for food and accommodation. If I'm unlucky, I still have to take money from home to pay rent. "
Xu Qing spat out a small piece of grapefruit from his mouth. He continued, "Since I graduated, I haven't asked for money from home every month. I've even paid you more than the average monthly rent. Do you think everyone can do that? What's more, I don't have to take the bus and subway from nine to nine every day. I don't have to sit in the cubicle for the whole day. I don't have to work overtime during Chinese New Year … "
"You have to compare yourself with the bad. Why don't you compare yourself with the good?" Xu Wenbin sneered.
"The really bad ones have all gone to live off their parents. I'm talking about the most common ones. You can even say that they're doing well. Those who entered a big company in the same year can earn 996 a day and more than 10,000 a month after taxes. They're already considered elites. This is a fact."
"Then why don't you use 996 a day and you're still the elite of the elites?" Xu Wenbin's mouth twitched.
He didn't expect Xu Qing to earn a lot of money a month. He just wanted him to find a proper and stable job. He would be thankful if he didn't make those messy armors or whatnot.
Now, after hearing what Xu Qing said, that armor was something that only the elites of society could make?
Ridiculous.
"Dad, no matter how much you look down on what I do, you have to admit one thing."
Xu Qing sighed. "I can save up tens of thousands of yuan in school. After I graduate, I stay at home and pay rent to you every month. I can also save money for myself. This is really something that most people can't do."
"And then?"
"From a certain aspect, I'm very hardworking and outstanding."
He paused and looked at Xu Wenbin. He said seriously, "There's never been such a thing as achieving nothing. The so-called achieving nothing is just not living your life as successful as you define it to be. It's only satisfying your expectations.
You want me to live like you, but I don't want to. You say that I've achieved nothing. That's not right. "
