After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

Chapter 75: Some insights into life

I don’t know how much time passed until I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and I suddenly came back to my senses from my study state.

I left the space and looked at the time on my watch. It was 5:30 in the evening.

"Second sister, it's time for dinner"

It's my younger brother's voice outside

"Okay, here we come."

"A large dining table for about ten people was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Judging from the quality, most of them were vegetables taken out of my space. Some other dishes were ready-made dishes bought directly from outside. The table was full."

"I asked while eating."

"Were you at home this afternoon, or were you out?"

"Mom replied: We went to the riverside together in the afternoon, and went to People's Park to watch people dancing in the square. There were a lot of food and entertainment on the pedestrian street. We also went to see the shops we bought before, and found that the shops that were rented out were doing quite well. Most of them were related to food, and some were convenience stores. We went into every store to take a look and see what kind of business they would do to make money if we came to the city next year."

"I give them a thumbs up. It's really amazing that they visited so many places in just one afternoon."

"My dad also sighed: It's easier to make money in the city, but the expenses are not small, but it's much easier than making a living in my hometown. Besides, I have more contacts, my brain is more active, and it feels like all the ways to make money are in my mind all of a sudden."

"I do have this idea. When you have a way, it feels like making money is easy, but you also need to have the ability, otherwise you will feel like everything is going wrong. It's hard to make money but easy to spend money."

"Looking at the people chatting and laughing at the dinner table, I was really happy. Once upon a time, this was the life I dreamed of. Not only have my parents become more mature and stable, they have acquired martial arts skills, and own real estate. They are becoming more and more confident and reserved. Even my sister and brother have completely changed. They look youthful and confident. They used to love to laugh, but it's completely different from now."

"They are both getting smarter, especially the younger brother. I used to be afraid that he would not be able to keep secrets due to his young age and would unconsciously show off to the outside world and expose our family."

"But unexpectedly, although my younger brother is only a sixth-grade student in elementary school, he has quite good self-control. Generally, when a family suddenly changes from poverty to wealth, not to mention the children, even the adults may unconsciously change their mentality. "Wine makes cowards brave, and money makes people's hearts strong."

"I don't know if I have been giving them a shot of prevention from the very beginning, or if each of them actually has great talent hidden in their genes. Because there is no one, no external stimulation, the cells and abilities in their bodies are hidden. Some people are lucky and turn on the switch of their talent, so they become young talents and successful people, while some people just remain unknown or live in poverty all their lives."

"People say there are top talents in every field."

"But it may be really difficult to find a track that you really fit in. What you may need at this time is a little bit of luck, plus your talent and hard work. After all, there are too many countries and too many people in the world. The global population adds up to 80 billion. Only 15% of them can become geniuses, 60% of them can become geniuses, and 5% of them can become academic masters. People in Anji account for %. Some of these people are government officials and some are business elites. Ordinary people account for % of them. The remaining % may be living in poverty, hunger, and being eroded by war all year round, surrounded by harsh environments."

"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs."

"Many times, since the beginning of the world, whether it is gods, demons, monsters, immortals, humans, ghosts, or aliens, they have all been explaining the same truth to us: the world has always been unfair, and it has always been a world where people eat each other, no matter what you were born into. It is always for power, rights, wealth, and destiny that people are killing and devouring each other."

"Many times we don't actually have no ideas. Who doesn't want to be a superman? Who doesn't want to be the next Jack Ma or the next Bill Gates Musk? Or become a high-IQ genius like Edison, Zuckerberg, or Hawking."

"If you are born with deficiencies, you can only work hard later. But that's it. Even if you put 100% of your effort later, it can't compare to the advantages you were born with. But what can we do? We have all complained about everything and lamented why we are not geniuses sent from heaven. We don't have enough skills and the ability to support our powerful dreams. We can only become one of the countless people. In these few short decades, we repeat the work year after year and day after day for the sake of birth, aging, illness and death. In order to make ourselves live a more comfortable life, we become timid and just want to live on our own little piece of land."

“Being born as a human being, from the moment you are born, is your luck, but also the beginning of your misfortune.”

“No matter who you are, you need a platform. You need to find a place where you can realize your value, so that you will not regret it even if you waste your time.”

"After all, you have been to this world and experienced it. You should end where you started."

"..."

"When I came back to my senses from my associations and looked at the scene in front of me, fortunately, everything has changed. Everything deserves better and has become better."

After dinner, the family sat around on the sofa and watched the TV series "New My Fair Princess", "Legend of the White Snake" starring Zhao Yazhi, "Journey to the West", "Black Cat Sheriff"... etc. These are all our childhood memories.

As for the lack of information resources, in our village, televisions are luxury goods, and only a few families have them. Good color TVs are not only expensive, but the electricity bill is also expensive. One kWh costs about 1 yuan, and there is not electricity every day. As long as it is windy and rainy, the power supply is unstable. The funniest thing is that dozens of households in our village are divided into five groups, and each group uses a different power supply. There are no electricians in the village. When it is windy and rainy, we can only go to the bus to see where the problem is and solve it ourselves.

In this era when there is no high voltage electricity, many people go to bed early at night to save electricity and money. Even those who have TVs do not turn them on all the time, but watch them at certain times. The main reason is that in our southwest area, there are thunder and lightning all year round. Satellite reception looks like a big round pot. As long as it is windy, rainy, and thundering, there is no signal. If you are unlucky, even the TV will be burned.

"Unlike in the city, where there is water and electricity, closed-circuit television, and lightning rods installed, we no longer have to worry about wind and rain. When there is thunder, there will be power outages or we won't be able to watch TV."

"Life in the countryside at that time was really poor. The roads were dirt roads, there was no running water, no high-voltage electricity, and there were no rural courtyards that were like the idyllic rural villages shown on TV."

"Only those with good family conditions in the city would yearn for rural life. They think that everything in the countryside is pure natural, and the vegetables grown by the chickens they raise are fragrant and safe to eat, unlike many vegetables in the city that are sprayed with pesticides."

"I can only say that this is just because they have nothing better to do."

"Once you have experienced the hardships of the countryside, you will no longer yearn for such a life and will wish to escape forever."

"Life is always a double-edged sword. You yearn for the leisurely and comfortable life in the countryside, while others yearn for your superior life."

"Otherwise, look at the many video bloggers before rebirth, those who returned to their hometowns in the countryside to build houses and farmhouses, which one of them is poor?"

"It costs at least tens of millions to build a house and yard. Without any savings, how can a poor person realize his dream?"

"After I was reborn, I realized a truth: picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains are games for the rich. There is no other way. Living in the countryside is the life of the poor."

.........

You three, go to bed quickly.

21:00 already.

I have to go to school tomorrow and get up early at four in the morning.

"Your father and I will not accompany you back tomorrow, otherwise we will have to rush back to the city. We will try to pass the driver's license test in the next two days and drive our new car home."

……

After washing up, everyone went back to their own rooms, slept, and practiced.
