"No wonder Liu Min is so arrogant. It turns out she has a powerful backer. Her lover is the town mayor. Even the kindergarten leaders probably don't dare to mess with her!"
"How dare Chen Hong provoke her? Isn't she just an ordinary citizen like us?"
The old man was worried for them: "You've lived such a long life, and you don't even understand this simple principle?"
Ordinary people are not all the same. If our child leaves this kindergarten, where can we send him to school?
"Chen Hong is rich. I heard the house she built alone cost one or two million. If she can't get into this kindergarten, can't she just pay to send her to a school in the city?"
In fact, Chen Hong really enjoys listening to these kinds of gossip and family matters.
Perhaps she can't speak, or perhaps it's because she can't talk to anyone for several days after going out to sea.
"It would be even better if she weren't the main character in all this gossip!" Chen Hong thought to herself.
The young mother next to her said, "Yes, we ordinary people don't have much money. We're just happy that our children can go to kindergarten in town."
Where would we get the extra money to send our child to a better city kindergarten? How could an ordinary working-class family like ours afford that?
In today's society, not only are the powerful bold, but the wealthy also possess the audacity of the poor!
One of the old ladies nodded and said, "Who says otherwise? These days, ordinary people like us are almost out of options."
Those in power tend to gravitate towards those in wealth, and those in wealth are able to befriend those in power.
For ordinary people like us, with neither money nor power, when trouble comes, we can only swallow our anger and obediently let others bully us.
"So, if we don't have the ability to settle things, we should just stay out of trouble. Fortunately, society is much better now than before."
As long as we're honest and hardworking, we can always make a living.
During the ten-odd minutes of waiting for her child to come out, Chen Hong listened to the parents' gossip to her heart's content, finding it all quite amusing.
Although these parents are ordinary people, they have a very clear understanding of issues and their analysis of current social phenomena is very insightful.
Their educational level may not be high, but their accumulated social experience is no less than anyone else's.
Among them are many shrewd and wise people; the saying "old people are cunning and slippery" is absolutely true.
Among the parents picking up their children, 70-80% were elderly family members.
Young mothers who are not working make up only a small percentage of the population; the pressure on young people today is indeed quite high.
More than a decade later, when these parents grew old, they became a burden on these young people and children. No wonder the country relaxed the two-child policy a few years later.
Now, several adults are taking care of one child.
When the adults get old, they become like children, taking care of several elderly people. Their burden is indeed too heavy.
Fortunately, she made changes in this life and will no longer be a burden to Yu Yang. Moreover, she has worked hard to prepare sufficient funds for him.
When he grows up, no matter which industry he chooses to pursue, he will have the confidence to withstand failure.
Yu Yang and his classmates were among the last group of children to leave school. When Chen Hong saw that it was their mothers who came to pick them up, Yu Yang's disappointment was palpable.
Yu Yang asked in confusion, "Mom, why didn't Uncle Zhou come to pick us up?"
Chen Hong opened the car door, helped them get in, then went around to the other side to open the door and get in herself. She casually fastened her seatbelt, and as she started the engine, she said to Yang:
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to pick you up?"
Yu Yang said listlessly, "No, but I thought Uncle Zhou would pick us up today too. We all love listening to his stories about the army."
Chen Hong shifted gears and started driving away from the kindergarten gate. "You know, Uncle Zhou is a soldier."
His leave is over, and he went back to his unit this afternoon. I remember she told you he was going back today.
Yu Yang lost interest after hearing this. "I thought he would stay until the end of today!"
"What difference does it make whether you leave today or tomorrow? It's only a half-day difference."
Besides, his unit is in Beijing, and it takes time to get there. Your Uncle Zhou said before he left that he would come back on his next leave.”
"Mom, why don't you marry Uncle Zhou? If you do, he shouldn't leave, right?"
Chen Hong burst out laughing, "Silly son, what are you thinking? You'd sell your mother just to keep your Uncle Zhou around!"
"Let me tell you, even if we get married, your Uncle Zhou will still have to go back to the army; it's his job."
Completely despondent, Yu Yang slumped into the passenger seat, listlessly staring at the road ahead.
"What's wrong? You really like your Uncle Zhou, don't you?"
"Of course I like it! No one has ever been so nice to me before. Uncle Dong bought me a whole truckload of toys, and he even played games with me!"
I'm starting to miss him a bit, what should I do?
"If you miss him, you can call him, but let me tell you, you can't call unless it's something important. His unit is the military, and he can't use public resources without reason."
"Okay, I understand. But when you contact Uncle Zhou, tell him to take a vacation and remember to come back."
"Okay, honey, soldiers are always this busy. Do you still want to join the army when you grow up?"
"Of course I want to! Why not join the army? It's so great! Look at Uncle Zhou in his uniform, he's so handsome, much more handsome than Xu Sanduo!"
Chen Hong couldn't help but laugh at him, "Being a soldier isn't about how handsome you are. It's about ability. Whoever is capable gets the job. Do you think this is a TV drama?"
