Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 1493 Young people pursuing individuality

Xue Cong came in carrying New Year's goods with a smile on his face, hugged Xue Ling, and then hugged Xue's father and mother.

"I came here today. In addition to wishing my uncle, aunt and everyone New Year greetings, I also want to share some good news with you."

Xue Ling stared in surprise: "Has she been promoted to mother-in-law?"

"Yo!" Xue Cong laughed loudly: "I asked you, why are you so smart? Businessmen are indeed different, they have a particularly good sense of smell. You already know this before I even start to say it."

"Really?!" Xue's father said in surprise: "Meimei has a partner?"

Xue’s mother hurriedly asked: “Where is my boyfriend from?”

Xue Cong answered with a smile: "He is from the south. He is tall and thin, with a decent appearance. In young people's terms, he is a typical handsome man."

"How could it be possible that the person A Mei likes could be so bad?" Xue Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Think about how many young talents I introduced to her, but she didn't like any of them."

"That's because she has good conditions." Xue's father gave a thumbs up: "The little girl is tall, has a beautiful face, and has strong scientific research ability. How can she fall in love with ordinary people."

"She's almost thirty." Xue Cong shook his head helplessly: "What a little girl! Uncle, even in front of you old people, she is a little girl. Over the years, she has made me worry a lot. Ling The young men introduced by Ling are all top-notch talents, but she just doesn't like them. Friends and relatives also introduced many of them, but she never nodded once. "

"The problem is finally solved!" Xue Ling laughed loudly: "I can finally marry her off."

"It's coming soon!" Xue Cong replied with a smile: "We will get engaged in the spring, and we plan to get married in the third month of the lunar calendar. We have already determined the date. When the in-laws decide, we will immediately notify everyone to have a wedding banquet."

"Okay, okay!" Everyone laughed happily: "What good news! Good news!"

Xue Ling asked curiously: "Sister, who is this person? Can he steal Xiaomei's heart? Internships should not be underestimated!"

"That's right!" Mother Xue said with a smile, "Tell us about Mali and get to know our future brother-in-law."

Xue Cong stopped and said, "He's not young anymore, he's already in his thirties!"

"Most of today's young people like to marry later and have children later." Xue's father shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on? They don't dare to take responsibility, right? The responsibility is all theirs. If they don't take it now, they will have to take it in the future. Go ahead. There is nothing wrong with getting married early and getting pregnant early. You can become parents earlier and the older generation can become grandparents earlier - how wonderful!"

"You think it's good, but young people don't think so at all." Xue's mother pointed at the TV with squinted eyes: "A lot of programs now are dating programs. If girls and boys can fall in love freely, there is no need for such old routines as blind dates, right? ?Some people say that they young people are smart and don’t want to get married or have a family, but in the eyes of our older generation, they just don’t have the guts to take responsibility.”

"That's right! That's what I think." Xue's father said: "Our era was so hard, but no matter how hard it was, men always wanted to marry a lovely wife and live a life. It was so difficult at that time, and sometimes they couldn't even guarantee food and drink. , we are all willing to get married and take on family responsibilities. Life is so good now. As long as you work hard, you don’t have to worry about starving to death or poverty. But I never expected that when life is better and living standards improve, young people don’t want to get married, and even They also advocate late marriage and late childbearing, and there are DINKs and unmarried people. Sigh... I really don’t understand today’s young people!”

"If you can understand, you are a young man." Xue Ling suppressed a smile: "What young people think and like today are not what people of our generation can understand, let alone you old people." "Yes, yes." Father Xue shook his head: "We don't understand, but the road we have walked is longer than the bridge they walked. As the old saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences."

"Today's young people pursue themselves." Xue Ling analyzed: "They have strong self-awareness, pursue independent thinking and independent personality, and emphasize the need to have a unique personality."

"What does it mean to be independent?" Xue's father said with a smile: "If you want to be so independent, how about living on an isolated island for a few days? Independent thoughts and personality? Humans are originally group animals, and it is the same as living with a group of monkeys. A group of people It’s easy to live a life, but how can a person live alone? By the way, what is the name of that person who is wandering on an isolated island? "

Xue Cong hurriedly replied: "Robinson Crusoe."

"Yes, yes," Xue's father said: "When people live on a desert island, they have to have a 'Friday' as a companion, otherwise they will not be able to survive at all. People, if they don't speak for a few days, no one will communicate with them. They will soon become dull and stutter when speaking. These facts tell the younger generation that there is no absolute true independence, and those are just excuses for their rebellion. As long as they are human, they must respect human nature and respect Reality. Spirit is based on matter, and matter cannot be separated from the masses. How can spirit have individuality? It is very good to pursue uniqueness, but there is no so-called independent thought and personality, because those cannot exist."

Xue Ling and Xue Cong looked at each other, then smiled and clapped.

"Dad is really a treasure that never grows old!"

"Uncle, where did you come from? Haha! Impossible! Lingling's children are very well-behaved. I heard they all have girlfriends, right?"

Dad Xue laughed and pointed at the TV to explain: "There was a young people's program earlier. The host talked about being independent and independent. I was a little annoyed and quickly changed the channel. You guys just mentioned that I Just take the opportunity to chat a few words.”

"Well said." Xue Cong gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, although you have been retired for many years, you have never been out of touch with the real society."

"There is a TV!" Dad Xue replied with a smile.

Mother Xue pushed him away and scolded in a low voice: "Okay, okay, if you really had some big theory, why did you go there so far? Why don't you become that theorist and philosopher? Don't be embarrassed, that's all. Your own daughter and niece support you."

Xue's father retreated shyly.

Mother Xue laughed, her face full of gossip.

"Gong, the topic just now was diverted by him. Let's go on to talk about my sister-in-law. Tell us quickly."

Xue Cong smiled and held her hand.

"He is my wife's student, surnamed Zeng. He was sent abroad on a secret mission more than ten years ago and did not return until last year. Later, the superiors transferred him back to the imperial capital and worked in the national defense department. As soon as he settled down, he came here specially Visiting my wife. I didn’t pay attention at first. When I saw that it was already dinner time, I left him to eat. My stinky girl came downstairs and was stunned when she saw him. Xiao Zeng also stared at her and dropped the chopsticks in his hands. Yes. We asked them if they knew each other, but they didn’t say anything."

"It should be that we have dealt with each other abroad before." Xue Ling blinked and guessed: "Maybe we have even dated!"
