People are not divided into different classes.
It depends on who says this. If it's a young person who has just entered the society, he might say it to his boss or those wealthy colleagues with a righteous look.
When you reach middle age, you may just smile and laugh at it in your heart.
After all, he has just entered society and is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
We think the world is too beautiful. Maybe he will understand when he reaches our age.
From the moment of birth, people are divided into different classes.
To the fat aunt, she was just a small dishwasher, doing dirty and tiring work every day.
How can we talk about decency and dignity?
The only thing that made her happy was that she looked bright and beautiful every time she went back.
Then give a lot of money to several nieces or nephews.
It is such a dirty and tiring job that countless people like her are eager to do it.
How can you talk about decency when you live in such an environment?
Looking at those little girls who have been riding in Rolls-Royces since birth, if you can still say that people are equal,
That's quite admirable.
Chen Anan didn't expect that the fat aunt would compare herself to a worthless life. She was only nine years old.
No matter what, I don't know how to answer this kind of question.
I just feel a little sad.
I don't understand why you would belittle yourself like this.
If it weren't for her father making a lot of money in recent years, would she be like this when she grows up, making money by washing dishes every day?
Who can say for sure? After all, her grades are really not that good.
She looked at Shen Youwei for help. The fat aunt called her the little princess, but she didn't feel happy at all.
"Aunt, An An is very sensible, why do you say that you have a cheap life?"
"Youwei, it's not that Auntie said this on purpose, but in front of them, people like us are worthless."
The fat aunt didn't mean to belittle herself, but people often said that to her.
She also habitually calls herself a worthless person in front of rich people.
The sadness involved is hard to understand for outsiders.
It's like when she first came to Hong Kong, she had to fight tooth and nail for a job as a dishwasher.
At that time, countless small bosses laughed at them and said that they had a worthless and miserable life.
After a long time, she naturally thought so.
It's not that she has to think this way, but everyone around her is telling her through their actions that they are untouchables.
For example, a fellow villager she knew accidentally bumped into the dining table, causing the water in the teacup to splash onto a guest.
He was immediately slapped twice by that person, and then had to kneel down to apologize.
The boss wouldn't even say a word of explanation for them.
This is reality, naked.
It also reminds her all the time that if you have a humble life, you should not clash with noble people.
The fat aunt didn't want to explain too much about this matter. It was normal for her niece to have some childish ideas since she had just arrived in Hong Kong.
Maybe in a few years she will understand that the gap between herself and the big boss's daughter is as huge as a chasm.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference.
She has made some money from working over the years.
He is reluctant to spend money on himself, but is particularly generous to his eldest niece.
How could Shen Youwei still spend her money?
The fat aunt's face turned serious. "Your aunt has no children. If not you, who else can she spend money on?"
Shen Youwei suddenly felt that perhaps her aunt spending money on her was also a way to make her happy.
This is really not wrong. Isn’t the purpose of making money to spend it?
Fat Aunt works so hard, and her biggest wish every year is to go home in glory.
She was indeed happy to spend money on Shen Youwei.
In addition to snacks, Temple Street also has many small clothing stores.
Branded clothing sold in physical stores in Hong Kong is no more expensive than in mainland China.
The main reason is low taxes.
She picked out a few good sets for Shen Youwei and spent more than two thousand yuan.
Shen Youwei also bought her a pair of nice shoes and carefully put them on her feet.
The fat aunt was very happy and always felt that her niece was particularly filial.
Chen Anan was also watching her from the side, and soon she asked about Fatty's experiences in Hong Kong.
It's so sad, hard to put into words.
The fat aunt felt that there was nothing to brag about. She was just a poor country bumpkin from the mainland who came to this prosperous city.
I'm just trying my best to make money to eat.
Most of the people who lived with her lived like this, and one of them worked as a nanny in a rich family.
She could only squat beside and eat something after her master had finished eating, and she would always bring them some leftover Western food or expensive goods.
Ordinary people don’t have so many stories to tell; they are just working hard to make ends meet.
Chen Anan was also listening attentively. She seemed to be getting further and further away from such days.
She didn't know when it started, but she felt that 500,000 yuan in pocket money every month was too little.
Not enough to spend.
But this amount of money can buy dozens of people a month's time.
Ordinary people's time is so cheap.
She didn't bring Shen Youwei with her when she went back. The two had just met in Xiangjiang, so they must have a lot to talk about.
She left with her sister in the top-of-the-line Phantom as usual.
Seeing this scene, the fat aunt knew that the little girl came from a wealthy family.
There is still a big gap between wealthy families and rich people. There are many rich people in Hong Kong, but wealthy families are rare.
Just look at the villas on the top of the mountain.
"Youwei, why would your boss let you bring your kids out to play?"
"It wasn't the boss who asked me to bring it, but An An likes me and she called me to come."
"I see."
The fat aunt felt much more at ease. Although she lived in a pigeon house with eight people in one room, she still knew some gossips about the wealthy families.
Hong Kong has freedom of speech, and the affairs of wealthy families are what outsiders talk about the most.
She was afraid that her pretty niece would be noticed by a big boss.
He wanted to take her in as a concubine or something.
If you are not careful and offend the other person's original wife, you will die without knowing how you died because you have no connections or power.
Shen Youwei took her to her small apartment. She and Zhao Yingying lived in the same room. This room was many times better than the small pigeon cage.
At least if you rent it, it will cost at least 20,000 yuan per month.
Seeing that she seemed to be living a good life, the fat aunt felt much more relieved.
I'm already like this, so why would I expect my niece to be like this too?
…
After returning home, Chen Anan immediately went to find her father. She had many questions to ask.
She didn't know when it started, but she actually developed the illusion that everyone in the world was rich.
After meeting Fat Aunt today, I realized that there are so many people struggling at the bottom of society every day.
Live for three meals a day.
The wind blowing from the top of the mountain is refreshing.
Outsiders may feel refreshed after taking a few breaths.
Of course, this is more of a psychological effect, and we can also see from these psychological aspects how clear the class gap is.
Chen Pingsheng was not asleep at this moment. He sat in the yard where there was some dim light, looking at the sea with his wife.
By the way, have a few sips of Wuyishan Dahongpao.
This big villa cost him HK$1.8 billion and has permanent ownership. Even the land under his feet belongs to him.
So his wife thinks that although houses in Hong Kong are a bit expensive, it is better to buy a villa which also includes the land.
If you don’t like this big house anymore, you can just tear it down and rebuild it.
Chen Anan ran over happily, "Dad, Dad."
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Dad, are there still many poor people in this world?"
"Your question is new."
Chen Pingsheng turned his head and looked at her, "Do you think there are many rich people?"
"A lot, a lot. My classmates' families are all rich, my neighbors are all rich, and Uncle Chang Fu and his family are all rich too."
Haha… Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, “That’s because your father is rich, so the circles you come into contact with are all rich. Whether it’s the international elementary school you attend or the places your sister often goes to, they are originally places only rich people can go.”
"This doesn't mean most people are rich. It just means that in your circle, those without money can't get in. Did you see something today? Why are you asking such a strange question?"
Chen Anan nodded seriously, and then told her father about the fat aunt, describing everything in detail and very clearly.
"Dad, why do some people say their lives are worthless? Didn't our teachers teach us that everyone is equal?"
"When the fat aunt said she had a cheap life, I couldn't be happy at all."
Chen Pingsheng touched her head. Although the big-breasted kid's academic performance was not good, her values were still pretty good.
On the contrary, her sister has no sympathy for the fat aunt at all.
It was like this when he was two and a half years old, and it will definitely be like this when he is five or ten years old.
Because she has no contact with this kind of people at all.
It's not that she's bad, it's just that this is the living environment she grew up in.
“Even if your father gave you an answer to your question, you still wouldn’t be able to truly understand it.
"You need to experience it to understand it. The knowledge in textbooks will only exist in textbooks. Real society is the real university.
“The reason why some people say their lives are worthless is simply because they feel powerless towards society and themselves.
"You can go out and shout about equality for all, but if they do that it will just make people laugh.
"An An, when you have a holiday, Dad will take you to the countryside to experience the real world, and let you and your sister know more about the life of an ordinary person.
"Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."
Ordinariness is the greatest truth.
It is obvious that whether it is Chen Anan or Chen Xinyi.
They are no longer ordinary.
Therefore, he needs to let them know what ordinary means.
Chen Pingsheng feels that for parents.
The growth of children is a major event in their lives.
He wants to take the two sisters out of the circle of wealthy families.
Go out and see what an ordinary world is and what an ordinary person’s life is.
For those people, all they want in life is money.
But for Chen Pingsheng.
He needs to let the two sisters have their own pursuits and ideals.
Only when you have enough money can you explore and pursue this illusory spiritual world.
This will help you determine your ideals and future lifestyle.
This is also his responsibility as a father.
