Chapter 30 Why, you want me to lie down too? (Seeking to read)
After making a cup of tea, Aunt Xu walked in with the food within a few minutes.
He Yinglan smiled and took it over, arranged the meal on the dining table, called Xu Yi in the kitchen and started eating on his own.
Xu Yi came out and saw that she was eating so deliciously, and immediately laughed.
He couldn't help but sigh that He Yinglan was really not polite at all and was just pretending to be his own family.
Of course, this also shows that the other party is really hungry and is no longer as reserved as before.
"Eat slowly, no one will grab it with you."
Xu Yi said as he served a bowl of soup and handed it over.
"Thanks."
While eating, He Yinglan nodded vaguely, then picked up the soup and started drinking.
Neither of them spoke much about this meal and they finished it in ten minutes.
Xu Yi simply packed up the garbage, then lay on the sofa, and said, "Hey, after eating, my stomach finally felt more comfortable."
He Yinglan also leaned on the sofa and echoed while watching TV: "Indeed, if you don't eat, you always feel your stomach is empty."
"But the dishes at noon are a bit spicy, so eat them lightly at night, otherwise your stomach will be unpleasant."
Thinking of the lunch meal, Xu Yi immediately said.
He Yinglan also nodded: "Yes, it's a bit spicy. Why don't the meat dishes you can change to fish-flavored shredded pork at night, and then a vegetarian dish and a tofu soup?"
"It's OK."
Xu Yi responded and told Aunt Xu on WeChat that she asked her to do so.
[Recently, the discussion about some companies 996 has rapidly fermented on the Internet and caused a great sensation...]
At this time, news was being played on the TV, and the host was actually talking about 996 working overtime, which immediately attracted the attention of both of them.
Xu Yi remembered that in his previous life, the 996 over there also caused great discussion, and Xu Yi was also one of them.
As an outsourcing coder, working overtime is simply the norm, which is an important reason why he doesn't want to return to the city to live after traveling through time.
Compared with the current situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to lie down!"
"Lying flat?"
When He Yinglan heard the word Xu Yi, she immediately turned around curiously.
Seeing her doubts, Xu Yi immediately came to his senses, as if the word "lying flat" had not become popular yet.
Even in my previous life, it seemed that it became popular around 2020, and it has become the top ten online terms of that year.
This is only 2017, and this word may have appeared, but no one defines it, so it is not well-known.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi explained his understanding of lying flat.
"Well, I compared my current life with those 996s, and then thought of a word to describe it. What I understand is probably the following meaning.
Even if I work harder ten times, I will be like this in my life. Then lower my requirements and do not pursue so-called success, it is better to be relaxed and free."
He Yinglan was a little puzzled after hearing this and immediately refuted.
"But some things do require us to work hard to obtain. For example, if you want to settle in the city, you have to work hard to earn money to buy a house. In order to get a good education for your children, that is why big cities have such conditions. You have a bit of a muddle through your thoughts and feel a little selfish."
"How come it's selfish, it's just a different attitude towards life."
Xu Yi shook his head and continued, "Not everyone can succeed as long as they work hard. After all, most people work very ordinary, and they only cost a few thousand yuan a month. Oh, by the way. You also said you can start a business, but how many people can succeed in starting a business. Not everyone is like you, with a good education and family background, and you can achieve great success as long as you work hard."
Hearing this, He Yinglan suddenly became silent.
She knew that Xu Yi was right. Many people’s salary was only a little bit, and no matter how hard they worked, there was not much room for growth.
But because of this, do you have to choose to lie flat? That may not be the case.
After all, in her opinion, a person's life is fleeting for decades, and how can he be worthy of not working hard to make a career?
However, she completely agreed with this idea before, but after living with Xu Yi for two days, she was a little shaken about it.
But despite this, she continued to retort: "But, your situation is not flat. You have opened such a big B&B, but not a worker, but a boss."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi waved his hand with a self-deprecating voice: "What boss, don't polite me. Compared to you, the entrepreneurial elite, I am not a boss."
"Don't mention my startup, I'm so annoyed now."
When Xu Yi mentioned it, He Yinglan immediately said with a bitter face, "I am still struggling to cooperate with my parents to go on a blind date, and then get some investment to let the company continue."
Seeing the other party's distressed look, Xu Yi immediately said: "If I were you, I would sell the company directly, then deposit the millions of dollars in the bank, rely on interest to make a living, and just lie down in the future. Without working, I still have more than 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in salary a month, that would be too casual."
Even if it is based on three percent regular interest, the five million will have an interest of 150,000 yuan per year, and the average monthly rate is over 10,000 yuan.
If you earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, in this society where most of them are wages of several thousand yuan, you can still live a very relaxed life if you find a small county town.
If you are in the village and don’t have to pay the rent, it will be even more comfortable.
Of course, this is for those who do not have high requirements for quality of life and do not have high requirements for raising offspring.
He Yinglan was immediately happy when he heard Xu Yi's suggestion and immediately asked, "What, do you want me to learn from you to lie down?"
Xu Yi did not deny this: "If you think so, it's OK."
Since work is too tiring, why not live a more relaxed life? Do you have to be a strong woman?
Looking at Xu Yi, He Yinglan sighed immediately.
"Hey, I really doubt sometimes, are you really younger than me? Why do you feel like you have entered retirement early? This idea is really not like the idea that a young man who has just graduated should have."
“The attitude to life is different.”
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he speculated confidently, "Look, there will be more and more people lying flat behind him, and they will lie more thoroughly than me. They can go back to their hometown and live a simple life that only costs a few hundred yuan a month.
Don’t go out to eat, watch movies, go shopping, or travel… You only need to go out to work part-time and earn some money when you have no money, and then come back and continue to lie down, compressing your desire to the extreme.”
"Uh, it's really as terrifying as you said?" After hearing Xu Yi's guess, He Yinglan immediately felt a little disbelief.
Xu Yi laughed: "If you don't believe it, let's see it later. By the way, you can consider my suggestion. After all, I don't want to hear the news of your sudden death that day."
Hearing this, He Yinglan immediately picked up the pillow and threw it over, laughing and scolding: "What are you saying? It's so annoying!"
Xu Yi had no choice but to defend himself: "What I'm talking about is the fact. There are so many news about sudden deaths in overtime work every year. There are also some giant female CEOs. Didn't you not know about it because you were too tired from work?"
Hearing Xu Yi's improper words, He Yinglan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
After all, if she could make the company tens of billions of dollars like that of a female ceo, she would probably not have much regret even if she died.
