"Look, your sister-in-law is fine, isn't she? Could you help your aunt?"
"Auntie, I'm afraid this isn't feasible right now. We'll see if a suitable opportunity arises later!"
"You must remember my brother and sister-in-law!"
"Yes, yes! We're here too!"
"Yes! It's Shen Xi's family; we all live in the same compound."
"That's right, we're all neighbors, we can't show favoritism."
"That's right, that's right."
Sure! I definitely will if I have the chance in the future.
"Mom, Mom, you're back!"
"What's wrong, Dumplings?"
The child seemed to want to say something but hesitated, glancing at the others standing nearby.
"Excuse me, everyone! I need to take my child home first. We can talk again later when we have time."
"Okay, anytime is fine, no rush, no rush."
"That's right, we're not in a hurry."
"Well then, everyone, keep going. We're off, dumplings, we're going home."
"What's wrong, Dumpling? Did someone bully you? It's nothing, but you're afraid to tell Mom."
"No, Mom, no one bullied me, it was Grandma."
What happened to Grandma?
"When Grandma came back this afternoon, she was angry. My brothers and I asked her what happened, but she wouldn't say anything, and trying to comfort her didn't make her happy."
"Really? It's alright, Mom will go check on it."
"good"
"You're back, Mianmian. Are you hungry? I'll go cook something right away."
"Mom, I'm fine, not hungry. Oh, and I have some good news for you."
"What good news?"
"Next Wednesday, I'm going to the banquet hall with school leaders, professors, and students to receive the visiting delegation."
"Is this...is this real?"
"How could this be fake?"
"This is a truly glorious and honorable event for the family! Most people wouldn't have such an opportunity."
"Right! By the way, Mom, I just heard from Dumpling that someone made you angry. Tell me, which brat did it? I'll beat him up later."
"Please don't, this has nothing to do with our child."
"Then this matter..."
"This is what happened..."
"I thought it was something serious. You're angry about this? It doesn't have to be that serious."
"But Mom is just upset, isn't she?"
"That's easy! I'll just ignore her when I have other job opportunities. Besides, I won't just ignore her, I'll ignore all her relatives too. None of their family members will get into my factory so easily."
"That can't be true!"
"Mom, this isn't a matter of whether it's necessary or not. We need to let them know from the beginning that the factory I, Li Mianmian, run has very high entry barriers, otherwise it will be difficult to manage later."
"You're right. Should we tell Director Zhao?"
"No need, Mom, please don't tell anyone. We won't need that many right now. Besides, even if we did need them, I didn't plan to use all the comrades from the military family compound."
What are you doing?
"Although I am willing to help them solve their job problems, I am not going to be taken advantage of. At least we will have to wait at least a year and a half before we need to hire them again."
Also, in the future, I won't be so eager to help them find jobs. They'll have to be in a hurry themselves, practically begging me to hire them. Otherwise, they'll really think I'm just someone who'll hire anyone.
"Mom doesn't understand this, you handle it."
"good"
"Mianmian, you just said you're going with the professor to pick up the delegation on Wednesday, so shouldn't Mom hurry up and find someone to make you some clothes?"
"No need, Mom. I've already brought the clothes back. Duan Miao made them. Look, I was worried she might have made one for Jiaozi too."
"This is really beautiful."
"Right?"
"Let me see, let me see!"
"Okay, okay, here are the dumplings. Grandma will change your clothes first, see if they look good."
"It's beautiful, it must be beautiful!"
"You know what, Dumpling really looks like a young lady in this. But Dumpling, you can't run around and jump around after you put it on, or you'll get it dirty."
"All right!"
"Why aren't you happy?"
Wearing a skirt is such a hassle.
"What's the big deal? Mom will tell you, you won't wear it at home. You can just change it off when you go out to play."
"But then I can't go out and show everyone that I have new clothes!"
"Dumplings! We can't go out and wear them to show off, otherwise everyone will want them. Not to mention the fabric, not every household can afford to take it out to make a dress for their child."
Also, your mother and your Aunt Duan just opened a clothing store, and they'll need more people to come over. What should we do then?
There are so many kids your age in the military region. If everyone wanted one, that would be terrible! Your mom would have to pay for them all.
"Grandma, no way!"
"Of course I would! Have you forgotten when we first came back, and I made you herbal soup?"
"I haven't forgotten, Grandma. I still remember that you told them that your second and third brothers had put bitter medicine in their chicken soup, but they still wanted to drink it, and you wouldn't give it to them."
Their families even said privately, "No wonder they've become so stingy after so many years of labor reform in the countryside. What kind of division commander are they? I think they're not even as good as a deputy battalion commander. It's just a few bites of food for the kids, why did it make our child cry so much when he got home?"
"Exactly, otherwise why would the Shen family have been sent down to the countryside from the very beginning?"
That's right.
"Grandma, if I wear the dress out, will they do the same thing? If we don't give it to them, will they talk badly about us back then?"
"Then I won't wear this dress; I'll wear it later!"
"Silly child, this has nothing to do with whether you wear a skirt or not. It's their values that are warped, and we won't play with them."
"Mom, what kind of values are wrong?"
"Three views" refers to: worldview, outlook on life, and values.
A worldview, also called a cosmology, means "looking at the world from above," and is people's overall view and fundamental perspective on the entire world.
Because individuals have different social statuses, they observe problems from different perspectives, which leads to different worldviews. The fundamental question is the relationship between spirit and matter, thought and existence. Based on different answers to this question, two fundamentally opposing types of worldviews are identified: idealism and materialism.
Philosophy of life: is a philosophical term, which refers to the ideology of a certain society or class, and is a product of certain social and historical conditions and social relations.
It refers to one's view of life, that is, one's view of the purpose, value, and meaning of human existence. A worldview is determined by one's philosophy of life, and it gradually develops and evolves in the process of people's actual life experiences.
Values refer to the general views and fundamental perspectives people form on the value of things based on their understanding of the value of various specific things. In fact, it is your view on the people and things around you. On the one hand, it is manifested as value orientation and value pursuit, which are condensed into certain value goals; on the other hand, it is manifested as value scales and criteria, which become the evaluation standards for people to judge whether things have value and the magnitude of their value.
