Being a wise man, I am serious

Chapter 104 The City That Never Sleeps
Considering Qin Xiong's hard work all the way here, Tang Qingya quickly stopped chatting and let him sleep peacefully.

But Qin Xiong, who came to the bustling city for the first time, had difficulty falling asleep.

Firstly, the pillows in the hotel were too high and the bed was too soft, he was not used to sleeping.

Secondly, although the curtains were closed, the traffic outside and the bright lights made him unable to find the rhythm to fall asleep at all.

Since he couldn't fall asleep, he decided not to sleep, and it was uncomfortable to lie down hard, and there was no computer around him, so Qin Xiong simply put on his clothes and walked out of the hotel alone.

In the end, what left him quite speechless was that the location of Ru's Restaurant where he lived was considered relatively remote, but there were still many pedestrians on the road.

Snack bars, barbecue stalls, milk tea shops, there are people everywhere.

Qin Xiong looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"What's the situation? People in big cities don't sleep at night?"

Qin Xiong wandered the street alone for a while, and finally stopped a little brother out of curiosity.

"Little brother, it's so late, why don't you go home?"

The other party looked at him in surprise, and replied: "Brother, it's only twelve o'clock now, it's still early for bed, why sleep?"

"This is your first time in Pengcheng? Do you know what our place is called? Nightless City, although it's a bit exaggerated, but it's normal to go to bed late." At this time, an uncle who was having a barbecue by the roadside replied with a smile.

"Is it possible to suffer like this every day?" Qin Xiong asked puzzled.

"Oh, I can't help it. The daytime work is already very hard, and only the night time is my own. If I don't even take time to relax at night, how can I have the courage to continue fighting during the day." The uncle sighed.

"It seems very reasonable." Qin Xiong nodded.

"The busier the city, the later everyone sleeps, because waking up means starting a new day's work, so everyone doesn't want to sleep very much." The uncle explained.

"Is it worth the hard work?" Qin Xiong asked.

"Whether it's worth it or not, we don't have to choose. The house price is so high, and any house will cost several million dollars. If the location is better, it will cost tens of millions. If you don't work hard, how can you survive?" The uncle complained.

"It's only a few decades in a lifetime, and it seems like a loss to feed all the youth and blood to the house!" Qin Xiong.

"If you don't buy a house, you can't marry a wife. People lay eggs and know how to build a nest. You don't even have a nest. Which daughter is willing to give birth to you?" the uncle asked rhetorically.

"It's not easy to make nests in big cities, but small cities can also be considered." Qin Xiong said with a smile.

"It's almost the same. House prices in small cities are low, but wages are also low, and there are few choices. There are also no opportunities. If you save more money here, you will have the opportunity to buy a house in a small city in the future." The uncle said.

"Uncle, how old are you this year? Are you married?" Qin Xiong asked smoothly.

"I'm going to be forty soon, I'm not married yet, I'm saving to buy a house, after buying a house, I'm thinking about getting married..."

"...Is it too late?" Qin Xiong asked anxiously.

"It's too late, don't you have to plan like this? One has to find a way to leave something in the world." After the uncle finished speaking, he took a sip of beer.

Qin Xiong was just standing by the side, but when he heard this, he also sat down familiarly, and asked the store to serve a few more skewers.

"Drinking, have a sip?" The uncle may also be lonely drinking alone, and he doesn't mind him sitting down.

"Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol, so I can't drink it. I'll replace wine with tea, let's have a touch with you." Qin Xiong said calmly.

"Your life is meaningless. You can't even drink alcohol. It's a big loss of fun." The uncle sympathized with him.

"Although I don't enjoy drinking, at least I'm married, have a baby, and own a house..." Qin Xiong said with a smile.

"A house in another place is nothing." The uncle curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"What if it's from the imperial capital?" Qin Xiong asked.

"Damn, awesome, those who can gain a foothold there are all dragons among men." The uncle listened in awe.

"Hehe, just kidding, I'm just a bumpkin who came to the city, big brother, we've known each other for a long time, you can add whatever you want to eat, tonight's meal will be mine!" Qin Xiong said.

"You kid, you're interesting, you know how to be a man, okay, then I'll be more polite, boss, add a few more strings of lamb kidneys!" The uncle is also not polite.

"This stuff is not roasted well, the smell is very strong, right?" Qin Xiong frowned a little.

"Haha, this is the specialty of our shop. In Pengcheng, if you don't have any special skills, this stall can't last at all. Don't look at the place as a bit dilapidated, the annual rent is hundreds of thousands more." The uncle explained.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Qin Xiong asked.

"Thinking about the housing prices in the surrounding area, the rent is very cheap. If this area is demolished in the future, there will be a lot of billionaires. Sigh, some people are lucky!" the uncle sighed.

"Pengcheng has really developed in the past few decades. Those who had the courage to come here to work hard at the beginning were not all lucky. Courage is also commendable." Qin Xiong.

"That's right, come on, let's have a drink, the kidney is on, you have a taste." The uncle reminded.

Qin Xiong seldom ordered this kind of kidney. Under the strong suggestion of his uncle, he carefully picked up a bunch and smelled it carefully. Fortunately, the smell was not strong.

However, when he took a bite, a strong smell went straight to Tianling Gai, almost vomited him up.

"How is it, how is it, does it taste good?" the uncle asked expectantly.

"Your taste...is really strong!" Qin Xiong hurriedly asked for a bottle of Sprite, and took a few sips quickly.

Although it was diluted a little by the drink, the smell still lingered in his mouth for a long time.

"Hahahaha, the first time I ate it, it was like this. I will eat it a few more times in the future, it will be fine, and sometimes I will even miss this bite!" The uncle smiled happily.

"There is no future..." Qin Xiong wanted to cry but had no tears.

What a beautiful evening, ruined by a bunch of lamb kidneys, teaching him to be a man again in minutes.

"When you usually eat, the taste must be relatively light. Everyone who has tasted it said it was good. Come, eat a few skewers of beef. This is also one of the characteristics of the store..."

"If you can't even roast beef skewers well, you don't have to mess around with this barbecue shop..." Qin Xiong complained, thinking of the other party's hell-level taste, after all, he didn't try it right away.

In the past six months, he has seldom eaten this kind of fly stall, and he is worried that he will spoil his stomach.

"You people, even if you live too delicately, don't you feel tired?" The uncle also saw his concerns and said.

"We can live delicately or not, at least we still have a choice. What about you, do you have a choice?" Qin Xiong asked back.

"Your uncle, I was suddenly stabbed in the heart by you. Tonight's order must be bought by you, so I will not be polite!" The uncle said depressingly.

"Haha, it should." Qin Xiong said with a smile.

The two chatted while eating, until now, Qin Xiong didn't know that the uncle is a programmer.

I have been in Pengcheng for ten years. Although the salary is not bad, I am not an employee of a big factory after all. I usually work a lot of overtime. I don’t have many friends here.

Because the hairline is severely receded, it is also difficult to find a girlfriend.

In his words, women nowadays are more picky. Not only do they have to be able to make money, they also have to show off their image. If the image is not up to standard, at least they have to have a house in Pengcheng. The size of the house is not that important.

"Haven't you considered finding a woman to marry in your hometown? With your income level, it shouldn't be a big problem to meet the expenses of your hometown?" Qin Xiong asked.

"I've also thought about it. After staying in the city for a long time, my ability has not improved, and my vision has also improved. Women in small places are too boring to meet, and many things cannot be discussed. Or, the three views are not compatible." The uncle said helplessly. .

"It's good to be single, but it's possible to get divorced when you're married." Qin Xiong said.

"Isn't that right? I have several buddies who have all divorced one after another. This world is too unfriendly to men." The uncle sighed.

"Big cities, natural selection, survival of the fittest, are not necessarily friendly to women. At a glance, there are quite a few women hanging around outside." Qin Xiong said.

"Oh, it's not easy... Tsk, you can't talk too much. If you talk too much, it will make you depressed." The uncle looked at him seriously, as if he had realized something.

"It's normal. I have depression. I usually look fine. If I get some stimulation..." Qin Xiong.

After hearing this, the uncle stood up quickly, looked at him in horror, and said, "Brother, I just chatted with you briefly, please don't drag me along, the old mother in my family still Waiting to send her living expenses every month..."
