Chapter 576 How difficult is it to raise a child
Chen Ping also pursed his lips and said, "I was young and ignorant." He sighed deeply, it was reasonable for his sister-in-law to complain about him.
"Because Senior Chen Ping, you are really good-looking. During a community sacrifice one year, many people recommended you, Senior Chen Ping, to be the host, ahem, the community leader, to preside over the sacrifice to the community god and distribute meat to everyone."
Li Wu looked Chen Ping up and down, but really didn't think that Senior Chen Ping was very handsome. Could it be because he's getting old? That must be the case.
"What is the little fairy looking at?"
"Senior Chen Ping, were you really that good-looking when you were young?" But it's true that when you get older, the changes are naturally huge.
The big men who had seen Chen Ping when he was young came out to testify in front of the sky curtain, especially those who were from the same place as Chen Ping. They said that Chen Ping was indeed very handsome when he was young and could charm the young ladies to death, but his family was too poor.
"Hahaha," Chen Ping laughed, "Appearance is just an external thing, it's not that important. But it's true. When I was young, I was also handsome," Chen Ping was a little proud. Now, in a flash, he is already in his fifties. He is so old that he misses the past.
"In fact, it can be seen that Senior Chen Ping is very handsome when you are young. I think appearance is very important," Li Wu frowned. Appearance is quite important.
Of course in ancient times, especially in troubled times, that was not possible. Having beauty would really make one miserable, because in troubled times many people could no longer be called human beings.
"What the little immortal said is true. Appearance is actually very important in the Qin Dynasty. If you look good, it will be easier to do things. If you have a green face and fangs, people will stay away from you. Even if the other person is not a bad person, they will still be afraid of him," Jia Xu smiled. He looked good when he was young!
It is hard to disagree with this statement. They are really fed up with this world where appearance is everything.
The barrage was also discussing this issue. Some people said that they were big and strong, and when they went out on the street, anyone who saw them would run away, as if they were afraid that they would chop people. They felt so wronged, because they were obviously good people.
Some people also say that good-looking girls also have many risks. If they are from a rich family, it’s fine. But if they are from a poor family and are good-looking, they will be easily spotted by bullies, and even men will suffer!!!
When the news that the man was in trouble came out, many people were shocked. Is there such a big risk for men going out now?
Some people even said that men were robbing other men’s things. The barrage was full of all kinds of gossips, and there was no way to finish eating them.
The people who were mentioned had extremely ugly expressions on their faces, as if they had lost all their face. These people were simply not human beings. How could they expose their affairs to others?
Therefore, those who raped women and men were arrested. The high-ranking officials and the emperor saw what the common people said. Can you pretend not to see it?
High officials can pretend not to see it, but the emperor cannot. The people are suffering, and if he doesn't stand up for them, what kind of emperors are they?
……
The others also nodded and said, "When you, Senior Chen Ping, divided the meat, you divided each piece of meat very fairly.
For this reason, the local folks and elders all praised Mr. Chen Ping for distributing the sacrificial meat well and doing a great job.
Senior Chen Ping, you said with emotion: If you could rule the world one day, you would be able to do it as appropriately and competently as you divide the meat.
When Senior Chen Ping reached the age to get married, although you were good-looking, your family was poor. No rich family was willing to marry their daughter to you, but you were also unwilling to marry the daughter of a poor family.
After a long period of picking and choosing, Senior Chen Ping still hasn't found a marriage."
"Oh," Li Wu sighed deeply, which made people a little puzzled. They looked at her as if asking why she was sighing.
"It's difficult to get married in our later generations, and raising a child is even more difficult. As a result, many young people don't want to get married or have children, and they simply can't afford to raise a child," Li Wu shook his head. They really couldn't afford it. The cost of getting married was too high.
Besides, the people I meet are not good people. It’s better to live comfortably alone.
"How difficult is it to raise a child? We all have seven or eight children, with the older ones taking care of the younger ones," said Chen Ping. Most cases are like this. Basically, a family having four or five children is considered a small number.
The ancestors in front of the sky have heard more than one thing about the little fairies not wanting to get married. In fact, this is something they cannot understand.
And how expensive can it be to raise a child?
They still have seven or eight children to raise.
Just give me something to eat.
The barrage was full of discussions about the fact that the little fairy didn't get married or have children. They thought it was too terrible and that this was definitely not something that could be learned. If there was no childbearing, how would the offspring come from?
Where will the population come from? How is this possible?
Li Wu heard what Chen Ping said and spread his hands. "Senior Chen Ping, things are different now than before. Children are so precious now. Food, clothing and daily necessities are already very expensive. We cannot lose at the starting line. We also have to enroll in various tutoring classes. It is not that we can live by just giving them food. We don’t raise them the same way as before. And houses are expensive. Many people can’t afford a house even if they work hard all their lives. Although houses in rural areas are good, people now go to school in cities. Can you not go?"
That's definitely not possible. There are no schools in the village anymore. Everyone has to go to the city to study. How can you afford to buy a house in the city? Most people rent a house. There is not much work to do in the city. Food, drink, defecation and urination all cost money. It's scary to think about it."
Li Wu shook her head suddenly. It was simply too terrible. And getting married was really her nightmare.
Hearing what Li Wu said, everyone else frowned. They didn't expect that life would be so difficult in the future.
The common people understand this better. Their children don't need to go to school, but the little immortal does. They have to go to school in the city. Ordinary people like them can't afford to buy a house in the city. At this moment, they empathize with the people of later generations.
They know very well that raising a child to school requires spending all the family savings and they also have to live frugally.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Li Wu shook his head and sighed, not knowing how to change the current situation.
"Let's continue with Senior Chen Ping. There was a rich man named Zhang Fu. His granddaughter had been married five times, but all her husbands died. No one dared to marry her again, but Senior Chen Ping wanted to marry her.
When someone in a town holds a funeral, you, Senior Chen Ping, would go and help, and by doing so, earn a little money to supplement your family income.
At that time, Zhang Fu met Senior Chen Ping and was attracted to you, the tall and burly Senior Chen Ping, at first sight.
Later, Zhang Fu married his granddaughter to you, Senior Chen Ping. It can be said that you are not an ordinary person.
At that time, the Zhang family lent money to you, Senior Chen Ping, to prepare the betrothal gifts, and also gave you money for the wedding banquet.
After marrying Zhang, Senior Chen Ping's life has become better and his circle of friends has expanded."
