Azhen is a junior high school student and is on vacation at home during the Chinese New Year.
Her family runs a small grocery store. During the New Year, many people come to buy things. When Ah Zhen is on vacation, she goes to the store and helps with the housework.
When there were few customers, Ah Zhen would go to her grandfather's newsstand at the corner of the street to read the newspaper.
My grandfather is old and can't do heavy work, so he thought of setting up a small newsstand to sell newspapers.
Those compatriots who smuggled in from the mainland, some of whom are literate and want to find a job, usually buy a newspaper and look for suitable jobs from the recruitment notices in the newspaper.
So even though the street where their house is located is not a busy street, his small newsstand business at the corner is still doing well!
After Ah Zhen arrived at the newsstand, she called out with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm here again! Is there any interesting news today?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the newspapers on the stall, as if to see which newspaper had the more explosive headline on the cover!
Grandpa was silent after hearing this. He didn't know why his granddaughter, who was only about ten years old and looked well-behaved, liked to read gossips about celebrities so much!
And I especially like to read about their various love stories and scandals!
I don’t know how these damn gossip reporters have the nerve to write such explicit statements in the newspapers and publish them openly!
How can it be good if children see this?
My grandfather despised those newspapers that liked to use gossip and explicit love stories as selling points. Whenever children came to buy newspapers for the adults in the family, he would try his best to recommend those serious newspapers that were not so explicit to the children. However, the adults in the family liked to read those inferior news newspapers, and they would always decide which newspaper the children should buy.
This made my grandfather very helpless!
Don’t these parents know that every time they finish reading this kind of newspaper, their children at home will also take a peek?
What's more, this kind of newspaper not only has explicit text, but also has extremely erotic pictures, which makes people imagine a lot. In the long run, it will have a very negative impact on the physical and mental development of children!
Unfortunately, these parents don’t care about this. What can an old man selling newspapers like him do?
Now, his troublesome granddaughter comes to stare at those messy news headlines again, and the old man is very upset!
"Hmph!" He glared at the little girl, fumbled through the pile of newspapers for a while, and pulled out a newspaper that he had filtered this morning. It was relatively formal and suitable for children to read!
Every day the old man would filter the newspapers to be sold that day. He would put the vulgar newspapers that were not suitable for children in front, and he would keep the more serious and formal newspapers at his fingertips.
The newspaper that the old man took out now was a newly released newspaper. Unlike other newly released newspapers that use erotic and explosive news headlines as selling points to attract people's attention and increase sales, this new newspaper called "Star Daily" only uses some small gossip and novel stories as selling points.
On the first day this newspaper was published, the old man noticed that not only was there no obscene content in the newspaper, but some of the fables and short stories published in it were very educational for children.
The old man thought this newspaper was very good, and whenever a child came to help his family buy newspapers, he would recommend this newspaper first. Most of the children were really fooled by him... and bought the newspaper after being recommended. Many of these children's parents thought it was good after reading it, and would continue to buy it in the future.
This makes the old man feel very satisfied!
Anyway, it has always been the old man’s wish to prevent those unreliable newspapers from selling so well!
However, looking at the little old man in front of me who kept looking at those explicit news headlines, I suddenly felt a little frustrated!
However, looking at the newspaper in his hand, the old man regained his spirits and said, "Stop reading those messed up news! Why are you, a little kid, always reading those things?"
Then he handed over the "Star Daily" he had just found in his hand, "Here! This newspaper is new. Many girls your age like to read it. Just read this!"
