Chapter 291: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality



Xie Wan finally managed to calm Xie Changle down and talk properly.

Through Xie Changle's somewhat exaggerated description, Xie Wan learned that his biological grandmother passed away peacefully a few days after meeting him.

Xie Changle was able to see the old man off to his final resting place, allowing him to pass away without any regrets.

With the help of the local street and civil affairs departments, Xie Changle finished the funeral for the old man and wanted to come to find Xie Wan. After returning to Xiejia Village, he planned to return to Gangcheng.

The Jiang family doesn't have many other relatives, so Xie Changle has no worries there.

He just didn't expect that the organization would take care of him because he was the descendant of a hero, arrange for him to study, and even arrange for him to work in a local factory.

This is an opportunity that others would love to have.

Xie Changle rejected the organization's kindness.

He doesn't want to settle down in the mainland.

When he proposed to return to Hong Kong City, problems became serious.

He was taken to a place for a week of "closed study".

Some people, out of good intentions, wanted to transform his brain, which had been "poisoned" by capitalism.

Xie Changle saw that the situation was not right, but he did not dare to resist and seriously accepted the seven-day transformation.

He is smart, but he has not been a good student since he was young because his mind was not on studying.

Driven by a strong desire to survive, he managed to memorize several editorials and recite the Quotations by heart, and only then was he released.

After just a few days of working in the factory, he couldn't stand the hardship and was not used to such a life, so he secretly ran to find Xu Bing and begged him to take him back to South City.

This time he came here with Xu Bing as his guarantor, and he took two days off under the pretext of visiting relatives.

When he first met Xie Dahong, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Xie Dahong would be like those people and would arrest him and send him back to work or receive education.

After listening to Xie Changle's words, Xie Wan felt a headache.

When Xie Wan brought Xie Changle back, he was a little worried that it would turn out like this.

She also told Xie Changle about the situation in the mainland. As the descendant of a hero, he would receive a certain amount of attention, and it would be very difficult for him to return to Hong Kong.

It may take another two or three years before we can return to Hong Kong.

After understanding the situation clearly, Xie Sanjin strongly supported Xie Changle's return, and even felt that it would only be beneficial for Xie Changle's temperament to be regulated in a harsh environment.

Isn't it just two or three years? Xie Sanjin thought that it would be much better for Xie Changle to go back to the mainland and be honest for two or three years than for him to hang out with those gangs in Hong Kong.

Xie Changle is filial and was persuaded by Xie Sanjin to follow Xie Wan back.

His unruly personality made him unable to stand the current conventional lifestyle, and he almost got into trouble several times.

Fortunately, he is not stupid. He knows how to read people's expressions and tries desperately on the edge of danger, but he always escapes danger in the end.

"My little niece, please help me. I want to go back to Hong Kong City. I miss my dad..."

Xie Wan could actually understand Xie Changle.

When she first wore it, she was also not used to it.

The problem here is not just a shortage of supplies.

The differences in ideas, thinking styles and degrees of freedom are even greater.

What's more, Xie Changle was unfamiliar with the place and felt completely insecure.

Xie Wan didn't have any good solution now, he could only comfort Xie Changle with kind words and ask him to try hard to adapt to the environment.

"Uncle, I can't help you get back to Hong Kong City now.

As long as you don't do anything rash, your personal safety is guaranteed here.

Do you know how great an honor it is to be a factory worker here?

How many young people have to pay and how much they have to pay in exchange for a job in a factory?

Once you calm down and experience it, you will find that although the mainland is poor, the happiness of ordinary people is much greater than that of Hong Kong cities.

Have you ever heard a saying?

Xie Changle raised his head and asked, "What?"

Xie Wan said: "Those who have a country and a family do not worry about scarcity but inequality, and do not worry about poverty but insecurity."

Although Xie Changle only has a junior high school education, he studied traditional classical Chinese in the Chinese language classes in Hong Kong.

He happened to have heard this sentence from the Analects of Confucius.

Xie Changle seemed to be thinking about something.

He thought about it carefully and realized that although he was free in Hong Kong City, he had always been living at the bottom of society.

In a small Kowloon Peninsula, the gap between the rich and the poor is so huge that it is outrageous.

The rich don't care about the suffering and struggles of the poor.

Poverty and despair breed violence, which is why he wants to join gangs and rely on violence to get ahead.

In the mainland, although he has not been here for a long time, he rarely wants to give up himself.

No matter how poor the lives of the people around me are, there is light in their eyes, as if their faith will one day lead them to a happy and beautiful life.

Xie Changle himself could also feel the hostility in himself slowly dissipating.

He sighed and said:

"My dear niece, I understand what you mean.

I just miss my dad so much and I'm worried about him."

Xie Wan comforted him:

"Don't worry, your father should be fine.

He also wants to return to his roots.

Just think of this as helping him get ahead of others. You can get used to it first. After two years, when he comes back, you can take better care of him, right?"

Xie Changle also knew that he could not go back to Hong Kong City, so he nodded silently, and was temporarily comforted by Xie Wan.

The best thing about Xie Changle is that his emotions come and go quickly.

After Aunt Zhou prepared a table full of delicious dishes, Xie Dahong took out a bottle of good wine. After a few glasses of wine, Xie Changle became happy again.

Seeing how heartless he was, Xie Wan was secretly a little worried. She was really afraid that he might accidentally get into trouble.
