Chapter 64 Daughter of Gold
Ning Weimin did not invite us as a guest.
Of course we can’t let this matter go, as we will inevitably have to apply again in the future.
But it sounds amazing.
As for Lan Lan, Ning Weimin has never been able to use money to achieve the kind of psychological balance he expected.
Because although Lan Lan is a child at heart, she loves to play and laugh.
She loves watching movies and theater plays, skating, going to the park, and eating various snacks such as ice cream, ice cream, melon seeds, plum chocolate, etc.
And she also remembered that it happened as soon as it happened, and she did whatever she said, without any planning at all.
Being with her always makes Ning Weimin feel passive, youthful and helpless.
But at the same time, there is another inherent persistence in Lan Lan, which makes Ning Weimin even more surprised and cannot but admire him.
That means Lan Lan has no intention of spending a man's money at all.
This girl not only pays attention to the comings and goings, but is also extremely generous and uncommonly cheerful.
The two of them ate, drank and had fun, and she also spent a lot of money.
Especially when she pays her salary, you can’t rob her of money.
Even at the end of June, Ning Weimin joked and pretended that he was in trouble and needed money urgently.
Even though her salary was almost spent, Lan Lan said it didn't matter and insisted on going home to get it, saying that her mother had money.
How can one evaluate such a girl appropriately?
It’s so good!
But this girl has no scheming at all and is completely unguarded against people. She is so fooled.
Ning Weimin felt that if he were her brother, he would be worried about this girl to death and would have to worry about her being unkind to others all his life.
Of course, Ning Weimin had to doubt Lan Lan's family environment.
Because ordinary people's families will not grow up with such a girl who doesn't know the hardships of the world and doesn't care about spending money.
As expected, when asked, Lan Lan said that she had no intention of hiding this.
She told Ning Weimin that her parents were actually high-level intellectuals.
My father is a professor of ancient architecture, and my mother works in the district Cultural Protection Bureau.
Therefore, her father also serves as an ancient architecture consultant for the Bureau of Cultural Heritage and has been responsible for many restoration projects of the Temple of Heaven, Qianmen, etc.
And she actually has a brother who works at the District Service Bureau.
As for this girl’s family background, why she works in the scrap yard is all due to anger with her family.
Lan Lan claimed that she was not a student, but her parents forced her to take the college entrance examination.
She was not allowed to watch TV or go out to play. She had to go home and study every day after school, which drove her almost crazy.
So when she graduated, she missed the college entrance examination by three points, and she was unwilling to take the exam again. She had to go to work.
She wants to be free and decide her own life.
Needless to say, her choice made her parents angry to death.
Her stubbornness cannot be stopped even by nine oxen.
My parents said that she was uneducated and could only pick up rags. She said she picked up rags.
Just like that, she couldn't be convinced no matter what.
In anger, her parents actually sent her to work at the scrapyard.
Unfortunately, she herself regrets it now.
Originally, she felt that going to work was more interesting than going to school, so no one cared about her, so she just did whatever she wanted.
But I soon discovered that this class was actually even more boring.
Dealing with scrap metal, old newspapers and magazines every day is so dirty, what's the point?
It would be unseemly to tell anyone.
Thanks to her parents entrusting someone to take care of her, the director of the scrapyard treated her like his own daughter and never let her do hard work.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay at the scrapyard for even a week.
As for the colleagues in the work unit, except for a group of quite old people, they are all educated youths who have returned to the city.
She is the only fresh high school student like her.
The age gap in life is too large, and the life experiences are also very different.
Others talk about how to live at home every day, but they study about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
The discussions were about how to save money, how to take care of the old and the young at home, how to make furniture and paint the house, and how to knit sweaters with labor protection gloves.
Everyone treats her as a child, and there is no one she can talk to on an equal footing as a friend.
But what she didn't expect was that even her original social circle was derailed.
She also became an individual separate from other people.
For no other reason than because she is a "Yucai" student and is attending a key school in the district. Those classmates in the class were not as laid-back as she was, nor were they as chic and open-minded as she was.
Except for those who are admitted to college, everyone else is continuing to prepare for the exam.
She went to the movies and the park with her former good friends, but no one paid attention to her. They were all evasive.
The parents of those classmates were also guarding against her like a thief, for fear that she would affect their children's studies...
When it came to this, Lan Lan was already aggrieved. No more.
Not only did his mouth pout, but his voice was choked.
But Ning Weimin burst into laughter involuntarily, showing no sympathy at all.
"I understand, you are asking for trouble. You didn't listen to the old man's words. Now you feel in a dilemma, and you are embarrassed to admit your mistakes, right? If you want to listen to my advice, just talk to your parents. "It's better to change your ways as soon as possible..."
These words immediately made Lan Lan open her eyes in surprise, and then showed a look of disappointment.
"You...you also advised me to listen to them? I thought you would support me."
"Look at you, how free, how happy, how self-centered you live... …”
“I really don’t understand, is my only way out, is to go to college?”
"Even if I pass the exam, what's the point? Living like my parents did from now on will be too tiring. It's too boring, too boring."
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin shook his head, completely Not acknowledging her pain.
“I don’t agree with what you say. Almost everything in a person’s life is like this. There is no pure good or pure bad. It can only be a matter of measurement and doing what one thinks. The best choice. ”
“Making a choice is actually not that easy. It requires knowledge and vision to make the right choice. It even requires financial foundation and family support to really make the choice. Implement your choice.”
“Take you, for example, because you don’t know enough about society, so you made the wrong choice. But even if this choice can be implemented, it depends on your family’s help. You should know how many people are unemployed now. You can easily get what others ask for. This is the help your family gives you. ”
"To be honest, your starting point in life is high enough. You make mistakes, and your family supports you. Only when you were born in this family will you have the opportunity to make new choices. This is a blessing that others cannot hope to achieve. . You should cherish it.”
“Don’t compare with me. I am a child without a father and a mother. It has never been easy. I have never had as many choices as you. You know how many things I have done against my will in order to survive, how difficult things it was.”
“You only saw my smile, but you couldn’t tell that my smile might be fake, and there was something hidden in it. How much suffering. You envy me for my freedom and self, and I also envy you for having parents who care about you..."
Ning Weimin's words instantly silenced Lan Lan, and she herself couldn't help it. admit.
“Actually, I know that I am lucky enough compared to many people. Being so dissatisfied seems to be a bit pretentious...”
But children will be children after all. Soon, dissatisfaction and unwillingness resurfaced.
“But the pursuit of happiness is human nature, isn’t it? Is it wrong for me to want a better life? I’m not that unrealistic. I just hope that my life can be better. A little more poetic romance and the right to make your own decisions..."
Ning Weimin still laughed at this.
"That's no problem. It's normal for you to think so. But you can't be too impatient. Life is not something that can be achieved overnight. It needs to be done step by step, and you can't destroy the situation."
"Life is a big problem. , countless scholars, wise men, and philosophers in the world can’t figure it out. Why do you think you can understand it now, even better than your parents?”
"Why do you think your parents restrict you? Is it just to let you live according to their wishes? Then they are too tired. Are they willing to control you like this for the rest of your life?"
"Actually, in my opinion Come on, that's just a necessary measure they take to protect your future. Only when you go to college can you see what you really want."
"Your parents just don't want your dreams to be restricted. They want you to have more choices and the ability to guarantee your future."
These words completely touched Lan Lan. She was completely I never thought about this.
“But...but...”
Ning Weimin interrupted her again, and his words continued to break through her understanding.
“There is nothing wrong. There are always some responsibilities that people have to pay in life. Just like your parents are responsible for your future, you also have the obligation to make your parents feel at ease with you.”
“ Let me tell you, freedom is indeed a good thing, but such a good family is even more precious. When you grow up, you will find that only blood relatives are the ones who truly care about you wholeheartedly. Man, I don’t know how many people envy your family and your parents.”
“Little girl, I know you already regret it, but you don’t have enough face, right? ? I dare say that as long as you look back, your parents will be overjoyed."
"Also, I really have to advise you, don't think that you are the center of the world, and don't think that you will be young forever. Don’t think that only good luck will accompany you in the future. Don’t think that your parents and relatives will always worry about you. They will also grow old and one day they will need your care.”
"Even worse misfortunes are possible. Including the death of a loved one, being disabled in a car accident, being terminally ill, being dependent on others, wandering in a foreign land, and meeting unkind people... It sounds scary, right? But it's all true. This is life. "
"I don't deny that studying for college is quite boring, but does it mean nothing compared to what I said?"
"Listen to me? , have fun for two more months, and then go back to school when school starts. Don’t forget to use your salary to buy something for your parents. Not only will they not be angry with you, they will also be happy.”
"Believe me, you may be most at ease now in your life. Cherish everything you have now, and don't let your time be wasted in a muddle and miss the opportunity to truly control your own destiny. ."
Lan Lan looked sad and was speechless for a while.
She didn't even have time to digest Ning Weimin's words and couldn't refute them at all.
In the end, I can only sigh deeply at the heaviness and boredom of the adult world.
"I can't believe that these words were said by you. You...what you said to me is simply...even worse than my parents and my mother..."
"More old-fashioned than your parents, and more like your elders?"
Ning Weimin smiled softly, and returned to his arrogant and carefree virtues.
"Then you can call me uncle from now on. What do you think? My little niece, just call me and my uncle will buy you yogurt."
There is no doubt that such provocation will result in Lan Lan not doing anything. He was tempted and responded with "bah" on the spot.
