Ang Lee also thought that the little girl in front of him was very cute. She was only about six or seven years old, which was the same age as Tang Er. However, she was just a child of an ordinary family. Although Ang Lee didn't care about identity, the Tang dynasty attached great importance to identity in this era. Only a well-matched family was suitable for marriage. Otherwise, it would be talked about by others and even bring trouble to one's future development. Therefore, if Tang Er liked this little girl, he could only take a concubine at most in the future. However, even if he could take a concubine, it would be this little girl's blessing.
Tang Er was still too young to think so much. Ang Lee said so just to tease his child.
However, this teasing words made the child embarrassed.
"Father, Tang Er is still a child. He can't marry a wife yet. However, Tang Er really likes her and is very happy to be with her. "
Tang Er said with a smile.
Ang Lee immediately frowned and said, "Haha! Tang Er, you're finished. You're so young, but you already like this little girl. Oh, what should I do? My Tang Er is still so young. "
"…"
Tang Er looked at Ang Lee and was speechless for a while. However, it could be seen that he seemed to be really happy.
It was said that people would be interested in the opposite sex only during puberty. In fact, this was very wrong. It was the same for children before puberty, but it was not very obvious. Or it could be said that their needs were different. However, liking the opposite sex was definitely not wrong. As long as they looked at it, they would be very happy.
"Okay! Since my Tang Er likes this little girl so much, then I'll secretly bring her some candy every day. However, it must be done secretly. Don't let others find out! "
Ang Lee agreed to Tang Er's request.
"Father, don't worry. I'll secretly put it in her hand. No one will find out, hee hee."
Tang Er said proudly.
After joking, Ang Lee began to teach Tang Er that he must listen carefully in class. He couldn't interrupt the teacher just because he had already understood. This was very impolite and very wrong. If he made such a mistake next time, he would teach him a good lesson.
Tang Er seemed to have promised Ang Lee that he wouldn't dare to make trouble in class again. He would listen carefully to the teacher's lecture. Even if he completely understood it, he promised not to say a word and stay quietly in class.
Ang Lee was quite satisfied. He nodded and praised Tang Er. He praised Tang Er as an obedient child and told Tang Er that as long as he was obedient, he would be rewarded........
"Father, a lot of people are talking about sound transmission machines that can transmit their voices very far away. I also want to play with them, is that okay?"
Tang Er suddenly asked.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Of course. I brought six machines with me this time. They are now being installed. You will be able to play soon. However, let's give this opportunity to other children! Because we have them at home now. We can play with them when we go back. "
"Father, can you give some to others? I want to give them to a lot of people so that when I go home, I can chat with them. Is that okay? "
Tang Er suddenly made a request.
This request didn't seem to be very excessive. With Ang Lee's ability, he could do it. However, it was obviously very inappropriate because these children were poor. Their families were relatively poor. At the moment when the telephone had not been popularized on a large scale, it was obviously inappropriate to equip the poorest people with telephones. The monthly rent was enough for them. If Ang Lee were to bear it, it would be very troublesome. Moreover, it would bring unexpected troubles and troubles to these poor families.
After all, the neighbors of these poor families were also poor. Therefore, when the family had a new telephone, the neighbors would definitely come to borrow it. Many people would even visit the family every day. This would seriously disturb the normal life of this ordinary family and even bring a lot of disasters to the family.
For example, some poor neighbors with bad intentions would wonder how their neighbors became so rich. Did they get a lot of help from rich people? In addition to this telephone, was there any monetary help? Was there a large amount of cash hidden at home? If they could borrow some, it could also alleviate their lack of money. Perhaps some people would even think about how to steal the family's money.
In short, people's hearts were sinister. In the face of huge benefits, many people would take risks. Even if they didn't take risks, their mentality would change a lot.
For example, some poor neighbors would feel uncomfortable when they saw that your family suddenly became rich. They would want to get some benefits. The most appropriate way was to go to your house and borrow money. This borrowed money would definitely not be returned. It was the same as asking for money. If the neighbor didn't lend money, they would complain a little. In the worst case, they would have a lot of resentment in their hearts. They would even plan revenge and give the neighbor who refused to lend money a warning.
Such examples were very common in China and abroad, especially the nouveau riche who lived among the poor. They were the targets of many people's hatred.
If an example was given, an example from the future was a very good evidence. In the ordinary village of the future, there was a very poor family. Their usual main income was the income from farming. Basically, it was barely enough to maintain food and clothing. Occasionally, they would sing for people to earn some money to supplement the family. They lived a very poor life. The clothes on their body could be said to have not been changed for more than ten years. You could smell the poor smell on their body from a few hundred meters away.
But people's fate was really magical. Such a poor person actually had a good voice. After receiving the support of a platform, he immediately became a well-known celebrity. All kinds of advertising endorsements and commercial performances came one after another. The income he received was more and more. It could be said that his fate was completely changed. His income level was at least tens of thousands of times before. From a recognized poor family to a rich family, the contrast before and after was too great.
And this contrast not only changed this family, but at the same time, it also changed the neighbors of the entire village. Even the people in the surrounding villages were deeply affected.
When they learned that this guy, who was poorer than them before, had become rich overnight, the mentality of all the relatives and friends who knew him had a huge change. Since this poor person suddenly became rich, the family's money must be inexhaustible. So, why not borrow some to spend? Of course, this borrowed money would definitely not be returned. Once it was borrowed, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog. There was no return.
Suddenly, the people who came to borrow money came in an endless stream. One after another, they all came to borrow money. After a few days, they would continue to come to borrow money, exhausting this suddenly rich person. But when he opened his mouth to refuse, the people who borrowed money showed their cruel and greedy nature. Not only did they angrily scold this nouveau riche, they even arrogantly wanted to do harm to the people who borrowed money.
The reason why he refused was mainly because some people borrowed money again and again, and they did not return it once. In the long run, even the nouveau riche could not afford it. After borrowing money many times, naturally, they would not continue to borrow money. However, the surrounding neighbors did not think so. After they borrowed money for the first time, they had a very strong idea of reaping without sowing. They felt that the money came too quickly, and the neighbors were so rich and had a high income. In the future, they did not have to do anything. They could live very well just by relying on the neighbors. Moreover, they had successfully borrowed money many times in a row. If they could continue like this, their future days would be great.
Under the influence of this idea of reaping without sowing, the neighbors borrowed money again and again. Every time the nouveau riche went out to perform and earned money, the neighbors had to go and freeload some money. They even shamelessly stayed in other people's houses. If they were not satisfied, they would not leave. They even had to freeload some food or something.
It was also very hard for the nouveau riche. They were very tired every day. The money that they worked hard to earn in their hands had to be taken out to support their relatives and friends. This pressure could be imagined. Over time, they would definitely not be able to bear it. Rejection was inevitable.
Many of the relatives and friends who originally hoped to rely on the nouveau riche suddenly found that their wishful thinking had failed. How could they not feel pain in their hearts? How could they not be disappointed? And this wishful thinking failed because the nouveau riche refused to lend them money. So, how could they not hate this nouveau riche?
As for why they did not hate other rich people, it was because there were many rich people in the world who they did not know. There was no hatred at all. The nouveau riche was the same as them before. Even many neighbors felt that this nouveau riche did not have any great ability. Didn't he just know how to sing a few songs? What was so great about that? How could he earn so much money with just this little bit of ability? They were actually very unconvinced in their hearts. If the nouveau riche could give them a little bit of money, their mentality might be slightly more comfortable.
But after giving them money, they had to keep giving them money so that they could continue to be comfortable. They even had to give more money. If they were rejected, then their hearts would be very unhappy. They would even hate the nouveau riche. They felt that the nouveau riche was too unreasonable. After earning so much unexpected wealth, he actually did not give them some. It was too much. It was really incomprehensible.
Sometimes, people were so full of jealousy. The more close they were to the people around them, the easier it was to have this kind of jealousy. Moreover, when encountering the nouveau riche, this kind of jealousy was most obvious because the nouveau riche had the greatest impact on the hearts of the people around them. It was also very sudden. If they gradually became rich step by step through their own efforts, it could be accepted step by step, but the sudden wealth would make it difficult for many people around them to adapt.
In particular, if the means of getting rich were not so brilliant and admirable, it would be even easier for people to have jealousy. For example, suddenly buying a lottery ticket, winning the first prize, suddenly making a lot of money because of a little ability, or suddenly making a lot of money by singing a song or telling a joke. These would make people feel uncomfortable and easy to have jealousy. They would feel that the nouveau riche was just lucky. In fact, they did not have much ability. Such a high income did not match the nouveau riche's ability at all. Thus, they wanted to get some money to spend to calm their uncomfortable hearts. If they could not get any money, their hearts would be very uncomfortable.
But time would change everything. If the nouveau riche left his hometown after making a fortune and went to live in a densely populated city, there would be no trouble in this regard. The people in the city almost did not recognize the other side, and they did not know what kind of person lived in the other side. Naturally, there would be no trouble in this regard. There was no need to worry that the other side would suddenly come to borrow money. This was something that was unlikely to happen.
Therefore, there was a very common phenomenon since ancient times. That was, after a person became rich, he would generally leave his hometown and live in the city in order to get rid of the trouble in this regard. This was because as long as he stayed in his hometown, all kinds of troubles would continue. Only by leaving his hometown could he get rid of these troubles. Only by leaving his hometown could he let go of his hands and feet. Only then could he live a better and more stable life.
The nouveau riche mentioned just now, after making a fortune, actually returned to the countryside where he had lived for a long time and continued to live with his poor neighbors. This was a very unwise approach in itself. It would only bring endless trouble to himself. Perhaps this nouveau riche had been accustomed to the life in the countryside and really could not adapt to the life in the city. However, the consequence of his choice was that his life would be full of all kinds of troubles, and these troubles were beyond his control. It could be said that he was miserable.
In other words, from the moment you suddenly became rich, you were destined to change the mentality of the people around you. It was also destined that you could never go back to the past. There were only two paths in front of you. One was to completely leave the place you had lived in and live in a strange environment. This would make people feel lonely.
The other path was to be like the nouveau riche mentioned just now. He had to endure the entanglement and molestation of the people around him for a long time, and from time to time, he would take out some money to help the people around him to ease the awkward relationship between them.
Neither of these two paths was very satisfactory, but there was really no other choice, especially if he wanted to go back to the past. It was completely impossible. From the moment he became rich, this result was destined.
The emperors of ancient times all claimed to be loners. Even those who used to be brothers with you would no longer be loyal to you from the moment you became king. They wouldn't even dare to tell you the truth.
