After Chapter 370, Awakening
After Chapter 370, Awakening
Hearing the discussions of people around her reminded Shen Sangning of many past events.
This trend may exist all over the country.
But the situation in the area where Shen Sangning lives is indeed particularly serious.
At least in her heart, the image of teachers and doctors is no longer so noble and pure.
Are there any good teachers? Yes! For example, Li Juan...
But the overall proportion is still too small.
The restaurant was still noisy.
In just a short while, the fight started again.
The student's father beat Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang's wife beat the student's mother...
At first, some people tried to dissuade them, but seeing the situation, it was difficult to stop them.
"Ah..." Liu Cuihua sighed, "I really don't know what people are thinking nowadays. They have to make trouble when they have a good life."
"It's no wonder that the parents are angry. Raising a child is really not easy. Just think about how much money ordinary people can make in a year."
"I have to spend money all day long, give gifts, and pay for extra lessons. It all goes to the children."
"Okay..." Shen Sangning forced a smile: "So haven't you noticed? Times have begun to change."
"From the family planning of your era, it has become encouraging second and third births."
"The post-00s seem to have seen through everything. They don't want to get married, they don't want to have children..."
"I read a report a few days ago that in recent years, the number of births in our country has been declining year by year. The marriage rate is getting lower and lower, and the divorce rate is getting higher and higher."
"This is a social problem, not something we can worry about."
"To be honest, if I didn't have this ability and if I was just an ordinary office worker, I might fall in love and get married. But I don't want to have a baby."
"Your whole life thought that raising children would provide for old age, and many people even got married just to have children."
"Now look at it, can raising children really prevent old age? Young people can't even take care of themselves!"
"From the day you got pregnant, you lost your freedom. Do you still want to go traveling? Go shopping? Or have a barbecue?"
"A child can tie someone up..."
"There is a video online that shows an ordinary family, from pregnancy to the child's graduation from college, and how much money it costs to raise a child."
"How...how much?" Liu Cuihua asked curiously.
Shen Sangning blinked: "Assuming there are no accidents, not considering illness, graduating from college at the age of 0 to 22 will cost at least 38!"
"22 years, 38, doesn't sound like much, an average of less than 2 yuan a year."
"But this doesn't even include daily living expenses, social obligations, mortgages and car loans."
"How many young people today can afford to buy a house? Most of them rely on their parents to help them..."
"You can look at how many people around you still have to go out to work to earn money even when they have reached retirement age."
"So having a child is basically tying you down for life."
"And as I just said, this is calculated based on the minimum standard, which is at least 38. And that's assuming the child doesn't get sick..."
"Basically, for many families, the cost of raising a child for 22 years will at least double!"
"Young people nowadays have come to terms with it. Life is short, more than 30,000 days. One day less is one day less. Why make yourself so tired? Why live for others?"
"I'm fine. There are many people who don't even want to talk about love! Hehe..."
"Ah..." Liu Cuihua sighed silently: "Who said it wasn't..."
"It's very difficult to raise a child nowadays. Mom is very open-minded. If you want to have a child, then you can have one. If you don't want to have one, then Mom won't force you."
Shen Sangning curled her lips: "Isn't it too early to talk about this? I'm still a child..."
"What we are saying is that the changes in society are really different now, and it has caused all kinds of chain reactions."
"The rise of live streaming is mainly due to technological development, but a large part of the reason is that everyone is under too much pressure."
“Many anchors can bring emotional value to the audience.”
"Including the anchor you liked before, what was his name? What show was it? The one who was called the harvester of middle-aged and elderly women..."
Liu Cuihua glared at him unhappily: "I don't like him, I just think he's a little interesting."
Shen Sangning raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not talking about that kind of liking, but why do you watch his live broadcast? Because he can provide you with emotional value, right?"
"If everyone's pace of life was not so fast, and there was not so much pressure in life, I believe many people would prefer to go shopping, eat and watch movies with a few friends."
During the conversation, Wang Qiang and several others were forcibly taken to the security room by the shopping mall's security personnel.
Shen Sangning glanced at Wang Qiang, whose head was bleeding, and her expression was unusually calm, as if she had seen a stranger.
During the meal, the mother and daughter spoke freely and talked a lot.
Liu Cuihua's eyes were filled with relief and pride.
"My daughter, to be honest...I have always regarded you as a social outcast, but I never thought you would become my little pride now."
"You are a typical person who says one thing and means another." Shen Sangning curled her lips: "Even if I am really a social scrap, I am still your little pride!"
After returning home, Liu Cuihua began to sort out today's harvest.
Shen Sangning was curled up on the sofa and video chatting with He Ziling.
"Sang Ning, are you free tomorrow night? I asked around and most of the students are available tomorrow."
"In two days, many families will have relatives back home, so it won't be easy to get together. The monitor asked me to ask you, if it's really not possible, the third or fifth day after the New Year will be fine."
Shen Sangning smiled: "Am I so important now?"
"Then take a look!" He Ziling laughed, "You are now the most outstanding student in our class! I heard that the principal is going to hang your photo in the lobby of the teaching building!"
Shen Sangning: "......"
"Okay, let's make it tomorrow night. I can come and play with you during the day tomorrow! Then we can go together in the evening."
After hanging up the call, Shen Sangning started scrolling through Tik Tok out of boredom.
I just flipped through a few and then I got the melon.
"A famous crosstalk artist collapsed?"
"My sister-in-law wrote the copy, took the photos, helped me start the fashion brand, wrote the signatures, and helped me sort out the fans' letters..."
"Sister-in-law is awesome!"
"Yohoo...the two sheep were fined? More than 6000 million, they must be very happy!"
"Frog Fun...Sister Yu sells fake goods and beats up the counterfeiters?"
"A-shares are about to usher in spring? Trading volume exceeded 5000 billion in less than half an hour?"
"Tsk..." Shen Sangning quickly tore open a bag of melon seeds on the table: "I haven't watched Douyin much recently, how come there are so many melon seeds?"
