Men should have big dreams and big appetites.
How could they live without a career? At the very least, he had to become a criminal police officer, leave this broken community, and get away from the old lady. Then, he could think about marriage. Before that, women were just floating clouds.
Qin Hao thought so and did so. He gulped down two big bowls of porridge and two pancakes, burped, and went back to his room.
He still had to be on duty at night. He would talk about scolding Xu Qing the next time he saw him. There was a thief, but he didn't call him. He hadn't given his first time yet.
Although the old man had a bad temper, he knew he was tired and didn't disturb him. When the sun was about to set, it was already past four o 'clock. Qin Hao was woken up by the phone ringing. He picked it up.
"Happy? Happy my ass. I'm on duty at night. " After listening to the other side, he mumbled and refused. He hung up the phone and wanted to lie down for a while, but he couldn't sleep after turning over.
"Dad! What are you cooking? It smells so good! "Qin Hao shouted.
"Get up and eat when you are awake."
"Oh."
…
"Get together?"
Xu Qing was also on the phone. He glanced at Jiang He, who was playing games in front of the computer. He asked, "Where are you?"
"Happy. I'll send you the address later. I don't know what kind of work Qin Hao is on …" Wang Zijun, who was on the other side of the phone, nagged.
"Wait, tell me what's good first. Forget about the bar, we can have a meal or something … Well, okay, I'll bring a friend from the village to see the world."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing turned his head and saw Jiang He staring at him.
"Ahem … I'll take you to have fun tonight."
"What fun?"
"Just to have fun and experience modern life … Well … Anyway, you'll know tonight."
Xu Qing was not embarrassed at all. He came from the village … A village in the Tang Dynasty was also a village.
Otherwise, would he come from the palace?
"Remember, follow my eyes. Don't mess around."
"Okay."
Jiang He nodded seriously. In fact, she knew what to do even without Xu Qing's reminder. It was common sense for smart people to be vigilant in an unknown environment.
Of course she was smart.
"Did you just say that those ghosts and martial arts are all fake?"
"Yeah, it's all made for entertainment. Surveillance is surveillance, movies are movies. It's not the same. It's just like the game you're playing now. It's to kill time."
"Why would you do such strange … yes, very strange things?"
Jiang He was no longer like when he first arrived and didn't know what to ask.
When you have a certain understanding of something, you will start to think about why, and then a lot of questions will arise — this is the fastest stage of learning.
"What's weird about it?"
"Isn't it strange to make such a scary thing to scare people?"
"No, I'm just looking for excitement." Xu Qing picked up White Gourd, stroked the fat cat, and explained seriously, "It's like raising a cat. When people's survival needs are satisfied, they will naturally have spiritual needs. Whether it's pets, movies, or games, they all satisfy a certain kind of human desire — don't you have supernatural novels? It's the same thing. "
"Supernatural novels?"
"It's a ghost story book … Movies are just a way to express the story with characters. It's a further form of entertainment."
"Oh …"
Jiang He seemed to understand.
"What's the name of the one in the teahouse? Storytellers often tell ghost stories and folklore. It's to satisfy people's curiosity. To put it simply, if there's a demand, there will be a supply. Do you understand? "
Xu Qing tore it apart, wishing that she could immediately integrate into society and become a modern heroine so that she could solve the problem of her identity. "The nature of working is like this — people spend money to find you to solve their problems, and you solve the problem and get the money.
In this society, everyone spends money to find others to solve their problems. For example, when we go out to eat every day, drink milk tea, order takeaway, there are also surveillance cameras on the road, and clothes shops. These are all for you, me, and all the people in need, and then they get the money.
Similarly, when everyone finds others to solve their problems, they are also helping others to solve their problems. For example, when you play games, after you learn how to play, you can help others play, and then you can use this money to find others to solve your food and clothing problems. Everything is a transaction, and that's how society works. "
Jiang He listened and fell into deep thought.
After hearing what Xu Qing said, many things that he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.
Why didn't this guy go out to work like Landlord Lao Qian, and there were people who gave him food?
— Because with a treasure like a computer, he could help people solve their problems without going out.
"So … after you solve the problem of eating and drinking, that ghost movie is to help you solve the problem of having nothing to do. Then you pay to watch it, and they pay to produce it."
"That's right! Smart! " Xu Qing gave her a thumbs up and carried White Gourd to the fridge to get a can of cola as a reward.
"Then, why did you take me in?" Jiang He asked.
"Hmm?"
"Taking me in doesn't make money, and it's also to satisfy your spiritual needs?"
"… Maybe." Xu Qing thought about it. "To be honest, I don't know. If I want to take you in, I will."
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
Jiang He didn't say anything else. She took the can of cola and looked at it. Then, she pulled the ring, and foam gushed out of the can, which made her a little flustered.
Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh. She threw a packet of tissues at her, and then she rubbed White Gourd's fat face a few times.
"If everything needs to be done with a purpose, then this world is too boring."
The sun soon set.
They didn't eat dinner at home. Xu Qing urged Jiang He to change her clothes. She was wearing a black and white striped shirt and flaxen wide-legged pants. It was the latest trend. Whether it was trendy or not, it was very suitable for Jiang He.
"There might be more people later, but it's okay. You can eat and drink if you want. Other than alcohol, you can do whatever you want. The main thing is to experience the things that are new to you."
Xu Qing told her as he walked out. Jiang He nodded from time to time.
"What do you do when you have something happy there?" he asked.
"Happy? Just smile. "Although Jiang He thought the question was stupid, she still answered seriously.
"No, I mean the kind of happy. How do you celebrate?"
"Hmm … meat."
"Something like that. People here also drink, eat, sing, and so on. When you're upset, you eat kebabs. When you're happy, you eat kebabs. When you're bored, you eat kebabs. We're not going to eat kebabs today. I'll take you another day. Oh yes, there's also a buffet. Don't forget to remind me."
As they talked, they passed by the gate and said hello to Zhao Shu. Jiang He also nodded politely. This was what Xu Qing had taught her. Even if they weren't familiar with each other, they had to leave a good impression.
It was the rush hour at night. Xu Qing didn't take her to the bus. They went out and took a taxi. They told her the address sent by Wang Zijun. There were many traffic jams along the way, and they arrived at the appointed place around seven o 'clock.
Jinye KTV.
The huge LED billboard kept flashing in the night sky. Jiang He squinted and looked up. Listening to the faint singing coming from inside, she asked, "Here?"
"That's right." Xu Qing raised his chin. "Let's go. It's on you tonight. Eat as much as you can."
She didn't know if ancient people liked to sing karaoke.
