Chapter 5: Everyone speaks up! Sparks start a prairie fire!
Chapter 5: Everyone speaks out! A single spark ignites a prairie fire!
In a house in Donghu Garden Community.
Ji Qing looked at the scene in the live broadcast room with emotion, sniffed, and slowly came back to his senses.
She is a middle-level manager working in a large company and a post-90s generation. She is twenty-seven years old this year.
After graduating from university, she came to Hangzhou alone to work hard, and entered her current company by virtue of her outstanding abilities.
He has been promoted all the way to a middle management position and is doing well among his peers.
It was rare that she didn't have to work overtime today. When she got home, she cooked a steak for herself and enjoyed it with red wine. It was very comfortable.
In fact, she quite enjoys this quality single life.
After dinner, Ji Qing leaned on the soft and comfortable sofa, opened her tablet and clicked into the live broadcast room, ready to find some interesting live broadcasts to watch and relax her mind.
Suddenly, her finger sliding across the screen froze. A talk show called "Expert Advice" attracted her attention.
The host in the picture is not only young and handsome, but also has a nice voice.
These days, the expert is the Brick Family, and she would like to see what good suggestions this expert can give.
Perhaps the timing of clicking in was too coincidental, but the expert immediately said, "It is recommended that the country fully open the three-child policy."
The smile on Ji Qing's face disappeared instantly.
Getting married and having children seems to be a process that must be experienced in life, and it cannot be escaped or avoided.
When she talked about this topic, she couldn't help but her eyes darkened, thinking of the time she went back to her hometown for the New Year...
"Qingqing is not young anymore. Don't you have a boyfriend yet?"
"When are you going to get married?"
"If I don't get married, I will become a senior mother in two years."
These gossip questions in the name of concern can be heard many times a day.
Her label as an "elderly leftover girl" has become a widely circulated "legend" among her relatives.
Because of this incident, my parents were also very anxious, and they tried to urge the marriage every now and then.
However, among those relatives who care about whether others are getting married all day long, how many of them really care about themselves?
In fact, they just want to see a joke.
They just want to hear about other people's dissatisfaction so that their own lives can be easier.
This is what is called "happiness comes from comparison".
She seemed a little confused. Do women have to give in when they reach age?
Is it true, as my relatives said, that the most important value of a woman is to have children?
Is it really right to just find someone to marry and have children?
In the picture, the host Ye Bai's words were so powerful that they shocked Ji Qing and pulled her out of the fog.
"Some people are born with no worries about food and clothing, and some people have tried their best just to live!"
Ji Qing's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes became moist.
These words blew away all the fog, like an enlightenment!
Screw the relatives, screw the marriage pushers!
We still have to choose our own path, and we cannot let others choose for us, even our parents.
Although she still doesn’t know where her future partner is, she will work hard to find her, but she will never give in.
She had countless things to say, and her fingers quickly began to click on the keyboard, sending one message after another.
"You're right, let the experts go to hell!"
"Now that society is more diversified, marriage is no longer the only option."
...
At the same time, in an office in downtown Sioux City.
Thirty-three-year-old Liu Yian just solved a bug and was watching the live broadcast to relax while the system was running automatically.
The sky was dark outside, and he was accompanied by endless work and coffee to last him.
As a programmer, he worked overtime every day, leaving early and returning late. As a result, he suffered from occupational diseases in his early thirties.
Mouse hand, wealth bag, and cervical vertebra pain are inevitable.
The corner of his eye glanced at the family photo on his desk, and a smile appeared on his face.
The family photo shows a family of three, including his wife and daughter.
I have been married for five years and my daughter is four years old.
He has many labels on him, programmer, husband, father of his daughter and son of his parents.
How can the word "difficult" be used when people reach middle age?
He has an old man above him and a young man below him. The burden of the family makes him breathless.
Because the first child gave birth to a daughter, his parents had traditional ideas and had been persuading him to have a second child, saying that having a son would help him continue the family line.
But if the second child is still a girl, he might be urged to have a third child.
Now that he has raised a child, he already finds it quite difficult.
He wants to hear what experts recommend? Should he have a second child?
Unexpectedly, it was better not to listen, but expert Ren Zeping's words made him angry.
"How come these days, no one has a little money at home? There are many people who earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month. They have enough money to travel abroad. How can they not have money to raise children?"
He is really a "good expert" who doesn't know the sufferings of the world and can talk about it just by patting his head at home!
When he was angry, he heard the speech of the host Ye Bai in the live broadcast room.
"If you have more than one child, you have to consider replacing the two-bedroom apartment with a three-bedroom apartment. But with the current housing prices, how many working-class people can afford it?!"
"What's more, raising a child requires not only financial and material conditions, but also companionship and family education!
These words deeply touched the softest place in his heart.
"Accompany and educate children!" Such simple words, what he wanted to do but couldn't do...
He really wanted his wife and children to live in a spacious and bright three-bedroom apartment instead of being squeezed into a small one-bedroom apartment.
He wished he could be with his daughter every day instead of just kissing her face while she slept.
He wished he could have a happy meal with his family in the evening instead of missing his daughter's birthday just to work overtime.
After thinking about it, this man who was carrying the important task could no longer control his emotions, so he covered his mouth and cried.
"Tired, so tired." He murmured and cried.
For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to cry so hard that I couldn't even breathe.
After a while, Liu Yi'an took out the last tissue on his desk and wiped away the snot that had caught on his lips.
He sniffed hard and started tapping the screen with his fingers quickly.
He wanted to send comments to support the host. The host named Ye Bai said it very well.
"What bullshit experts are making false claims are just experts who don't know the sufferings of the people!"
at the same time.
Their actions are not unique.
Viewers from all over the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, sending comments and comments.
After a brief silence, the barrage in the live broadcast room refreshed at a crazy speed.
"Fuck, I cried."
"Ye Bai said it so well, it touched my heart."
"I haven't cried like this for a long time."
"Well done. I am also a child from a rural area. I have never been abroad, and I am still determined to establish myself in a big city."
"Just surviving in this city has taken up all my energy."
"If you want to give birth, let the experts do it themselves."
"Let's solve the problems of housing, education and medical care first."
The barrage is like the audience's turbulent emotions, which cannot be calmed for a long time. This chapter has been completed!
