360 The Atomic Bomb Is Better To Sell Tea Eggs
In other words, up to this point in the conversation, when Liang Jincang asked Cheng Qingwen, "What can you give me if you want me to help you," Cheng Qingwen found that she had nothing to offer.
In addition to her family's high social status and her husband's high position and authority, she could not compare to Liang Jincang in other material aspects.
You can't use your power to overwhelm others even if you have a high position!
When she first came to see Liang Jincang, she tried her best to suppress her hatred for the Liang family and tried to persuade Liang Jincang with a condescending attitude.
Just to let him know that she wanted to pull her relatives out of the pit of fire.
Let Xiaoru dilute the painful memories of that period in the countryside and regain her noble bloodline.
However, after a conversation, she realized that if she recognized Xiao Ru, apart from giving her flesh and blood, it didn't seem to be the situation that would pull her out of the pit of fire.
Because the material conditions of a family as small as the adoptive parents' are no worse than their own.
Although Cheng Qingwen's family has a noble status and high social status, ten years ago, the Liang family could only look up to them for their status.
But now, when Cheng Qingwen discovers that her financial resources are not as good as Liang Jincang's, she is in danger of being challenged by money-oriented thinking.
Especially in the past two months, it is no longer enough to describe the changes in social ideological trends as undercurrents.
The surge is not substantial enough.
As an upper-class figure in society, Cheng Qingwen has a keener sense of the current social situation than others.
That is the unprecedented prevalence of money worship and the prevalence of pragmatism.
It can be said that social trends have become turbulent in the past few months.
In the past few days, I have seen intensively some leaders debating with representatives of extreme ideas on television.
Refute the errors in these ideas.
In society, many people, especially young people, are beguiled by those wrong ideas and deviate from normal values.
For example, it was everyone's dream to enter the system a few years ago, especially for rural children, who wanted to get out of farming and become urban residents by going to college.
Because the household registration system clearly divides citizens into agricultural household registrations and non-agricultural household registrations, this solid and formatted identity system has led to the most important social difference in our country: the urban-rural difference.
Over time, the rigidly formatted identity system evolved into a rigidly formatted ideological concept. Country people should inherently be inferior to city people.
Objectively speaking, this is a social injustice.
In recent years, there have been increasing criticisms of this injustice.
And too many people don’t understand that since there is such obvious social injustice, why does the state use various measures to subjectively strengthen this difference?
In fact, this problem is very simple. Only by widening the gap in the labor distribution system can the enterprising spirit of the entire society be stimulated.
If a rural child wants to receive a fixed salary and enjoy various benefits such as medical care and retirement, he can change his identity as long as he studies hard and goes to college.
In other words, the country has left a channel for you.
As for whether you want to climb up and study hard, that is your own choice.
Just imagine if both those who work hard and those who don’t work hard can get a fixed salary and enjoy the same benefits, then who will study and work hard? Can society still move forward?
But there are too many people who don't want to work hard and complain about social injustice all day long.
Since the mid-1980s, such doubts and complaints have become increasingly serious.
Social values are seriously tilted.
Especially in recent years, as the market economy has developed and deepened in full swing, a large number of people have made their first pot of gold in the business world through their entrepreneurial spirit.
The overall educational level of these first batch of people who became rich in the market economy was not high, and most of them had not attended college.
Therefore, too many people use living facts to prove that learning is useless and culture is useless.
At that time, there were discussions in society that "the income from making atomic bombs is not as good as selling tea eggs" and "the income from selling scalpels is not as good as that from razors".
As a result, some government officials who could not sit still in the economic tide went out to do business.
It is said that some southerners scold their children for being ineffective, saying, "You will only be able to work in an office in a government agency in the future!"
The words are quite discriminatory towards jobs in government agencies that pay dead wages.
After all, the market economy in the south is more dynamic and there are many opportunities to make money, so southerners are more pragmatic and more willing to do business and make big money.
These ideas themselves are not right or wrong, but if they are amplified and spread more and more falsely, many people will have the idea that money is paramount.
Making money and getting money are the first priority, everything else becomes irrelevant and can be subverted and abandoned.
As long as he is not given visible and tangible economic benefits, all ideas and principles are false and empty.
Cheng Qingwen would not be led astray by these erroneous thoughts, but when she felt materially inferior to someone named Liang, she actually felt a sense of powerlessness.
She didn't know what else could impress Liang Jincang besides giving money?
In other words, she would never think that money is paramount, but she believed that Liang Jincang must have such a thought.
Because she saw Liang Jincang's way of solving the problem, which was to "throw money at it."
Cheng Qingwen sorted out her emotions, temporarily suppressed her hatred for Liang's entry into the warehouse, and tried her best to say in a relatively sincere manner:
"Xiaoliang, I know you are very kind to Xiaoru, and you wish her well from the bottom of your heart. I want to thank you for this.
I don’t think you will ever see this kind of separation of flesh and blood.
You definitely hope that Xiaoru can be reunited with her long-lost relatives.
You have to know how much effort and tears we have spent searching for their family of three over the years!
Ever since I first discovered Xiaoru, I have been dreaming about her and getting to know her almost every night.
In the dream we held each other's hands and cried, and I could wake up from crying..."
Speaking of this, Cheng Qingwen's throat became tight and her eyes became red.
But her status seems inappropriate for her to show too much emotion in front of a young person.
After pausing for a moment to collect her emotions, she continued:
"I came here today just to get your help so that I can get to know Xiaoru smoothly.
I was afraid that if I went to look for her rashly, I would scare her.
If you were present, or if you told her in advance that I would show up, she might be more receptive.
At the beginning, I was still thinking that your family adopted Xiaoru, raised her, and sent her to college.
Your family has contributed a lot and we should compensate you.
But after talking to you about this, I found that you don't seem to be short of money.
I don't know what I should compensate you for.
In other words, what do you think you need?
Can you tell me?"
In a word, she was still demanding conditions from Liang Jincang.
It just adds the emotional card.
Liang Jincang was unmoved and still said coldly: "The only thing I need is that Yingzi doesn't get any harm. Can you do it?"
