The leisurely life of rebirth

Dachengzi made tea, held the teacups, and handed them to Fang Monan one by one. Fatty and Shitou stood up and took the teacups. Dachengzi took a sip, rubbed the rim of the cup with his hand, and said leisurely, "Yes.

I’m not afraid of stone jokes. I’m also a human being. I feel a little distracted when I look at the rising numbers in my bank account. I feel that money comes too easily. I forget myself a little and feel that I am quite capable.”

"Dad!" Shitou grabbed Dachengzi's hand worriedly.

"The mentality of the nouveau riche." Fang Monan took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Nan Nan is right. The mentality of the nouveau riche is all about money. Being rich now means having everything. When you are full, warm and lustful, you start to enjoy yourself, not to make progress, and to pursue a comfortable and comfortable life, even if you have material things.

He is relatively wealthy, but his spiritual life is unacceptable.

"Dachengzi patted Shitou's hand, "I'm very good now, very good!" Dachengzi continued, "Making Kungfu tea is a peaceful state of mind. Brewing Kungfu tea is often time-consuming, but after a series of processes

Gradually, I realized that Kung Fu tea actually brews a state of mind, a kind of tranquility, a kind of serenity, and it is also a way to cultivate one's moral character." He paused and then said, "It's more about the knowledge and behavior you brought to me.

It’s better to keep a low profile.”

"Speaking of the mentality of the nouveau riche, I used to have it too." The fat man touched his nose without any embarrassment. "I feel that I have some money and am very capable, as if I am suddenly much nobler than others. This state of mind

Naturally and unnaturally, he starts to tremble. He is often arrogant and arrogant. He feels that I am the best in the world, and there is a feeling that he is the best in the world. He is arrogant and arrogant in his behavior and dares to compete with everyone. Who is afraid of whom!

"

He glanced at Fang Monan meaningfully. Compared with others, he couldn't shake. He suddenly calmed down his restless heart. He said that he wanted to thank her and Liang Zi. They made him see himself clearly.

A few kilograms and a few ounces of weight, I have corrected my position.[

Fang Monan looked at the fat man with profound eyes as if she hadn't seen him. She understood why he was like this. In fact, the most important thing is to look at your own mentality. There is really little help that others can give, but she can see how they adjust.

It was so good, Fang Monan was also happy for them.

"Although we have a long history of civilization of five thousand years, "if we divide for a long time, we must unite, and if we unite for a long time, we must divide" constantly changing dynasties, it is difficult to form a relatively permanent social community. Therefore, in the ancient land of China, family history is far less developed than in Western Europe. Rich and poor,

The frequent changes in nobility, elegance and customs, as well as social self-sufficiency and closedness and conservatism, have led to a lack of aristocratic consciousness in China. Instead, they have more of a "nouveau riche" consciousness." Fang Monan continued, "

A true aristocratic family must have a long-term and stable foundation in time and space, have deep roots, be independent in liberal arts, be inclusive and other superior characteristics, and have good performance in political status, economic conditions, cultural literacy, etc. The long-lasting aristocratic tradition in Western Europe

make it

People from rich families are mostly elegant. Most of their cultural celebrities come from noble families. This is rarely seen in China. There may be some, but compared with Western Europe, they are still thin. The Confucius family, the "literary sage" in Qufu, has many descendants.

, It’s a pity that it can only be maintained, and its glory will never be restored.”

"We don't have any aristocrats! It's natural that such aristocratic families can't survive, because the landlords have been "cleared out" as early as during the revolution. These people are so frightened that they wish their ancestors had relied on poor peasants for eight generations." The fat man sneered.

Dachengzi and Shitou nodded. "This is also true."

Fang Monan put down the tea cup and spread his hands, "So! Nobility is hard to achieve, and "nouveau riche" are everywhere in the historical stage and today's society. All "nouveau riche" are just certain opportunities in a short period of time.

A region is at its peak. Having accumulated a lot of capital in a certain area, one becomes complacent and arrogant. This can be analyzed from three aspects: politics, economy, and culture." She paused and continued, "Politically speaking, China's universe changes frequently.

The rulers seemed to be ups and downs on horseback. The so-called "emperors take turns" and "one emperor and one courtier". It is difficult to form an aristocratic system in this context. Liu Bang, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang... all came from humble backgrounds. Kangxi and Qianlong were also arty and elegant.

He wrote a lot of poems, but they were just "doggerels" at best. In the later years of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Li Yu and his son were the masters. They were all capable of poems, songs, and poems, but they lost their country because of this, and could not start well and end well. "

"Financially..."

"Economically, let me talk." The fat man looked at Fang Monan and saw her nodding, so he said: "Economically, people like us don't have a high level of education. Some are even second-rate kids on the street. They were born as gangsters and suddenly suddenly

Get rich. The mentality of the "nouveau riche" is even more fully expressed. In history, so many people relied on merchants to make their fortunes, or relied on officials to dominate and prosper. They were rich but could not be called noble, because they were rich and literary, but they only smelled of money.

They are the most typical "nouveau riche". Many "time-honored brands" in the capital and other provinces, apart from their world-renowned products, have not produced any outstanding figures or huge families."

Fang Monan nodded slightly and frowned again, "The most terrifying thing is the cultural nouveau riche, which is the worst. Whether you have aristocratic qualities depends on your cultural quality. In the ancient imperial examination system, many scholars came from poor families.

Haoshou Qiongjing, once named on the gold medal list, became an official in the court, and entered the upper class. "The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease", they rarely have a family background, most of them just blindly memorize by rote, how can they have real talents and achieve great political achievements?

Of course, there are also people who are good at poetry and prose, are versatile, or have achieved achievements in some aspects and become real cultural people. Whether in court or in the wild, the articles they write are colorful, lively and lively. However, because they are afraid of the "literary prison", they are often cautious and cautious, and their careers are not developed.

There are also restrictions, so it is difficult to form an aristocratic group. "

"Aren't we advocating freedom of speech now?" Shitou said.

"Ha! Ha!" Fang Monan said with a smile.

Dachengzi patted Shitou's head and said, "Listen more, remember more, read more, and talk less. Remember these eight words no matter where you are."

The fat man smiled and changed the subject and said, "Looking back at history, no matter whether we are a Western country or not, which big country has never had this kind of upstart mentality in its rise? Human nature is like this, and human weaknesses are like this. It's normal, but it requires self-regulation and restraint.

own desires."

Look at the first batch of people who got rich, not the so-called intellectuals, bureaucrats and businessmen, but the poor who had no livelihood or no way out. Reform and opening up is a good era. As long as you have the courage, there are enough loopholes in the policy for you to use your cunning to make money.

The coast relies on smuggling, the small border towns depend on their courage, and the big cities with strict management rely on connections. Smuggling is not just about drugs and guns, the iconic things that are endlessly reported on TV. Anyone who can really catch this line is

He is a tough guy who has enough background to even risk his life.

Smuggling furs, smuggling metals, smuggling home appliances, smuggling people, especially in the north, you can exchange a bag of flour for a bag of copper, a few high-end leather coats, or a beautiful foreign girl. Of course, if you are serious

Can't understand her

If you don't, you can resell it to others. At its peak, you can see people blatantly bribing border guards on the border of small towns, buying bags of daily food in exchange for getting rich. This should be

A true portrayal of the Sino-Soviet border.

However, this was just a small fight at best, and those who were more serious were much more aggressive. Fishing boats on the high seas, trucks on the national highway, and all useful tools were pulled out.

After the trend of openness passed, the country made great efforts to rectify the situation. Most people stopped and began to wash their hands and make plans for the rest of their lives. But those who were jealous in hindsight missed the opportunity and could only use it.

I have been fighting for my life, but it seems that the end is miserable!

Although Fatty and Dachengzi did not start out in the dark, money comes too easily, and people tend to make mistakes.

"We remind ourselves all the time not to raise our tails!" Dachengzi looked at Fang Monan and said.

"Look what I'm doing? It's the result of your own efforts." Fang Monan waved his hand.[

"Don't you always say that there are four basic principles in life: 'First, learn to choose, second, know how to give up, third, endure loneliness, fourth, withstand temptation.' Only by adhering to the four basic principles can you achieve success in life.

Success. I often remind myself. ”

"It talks about choice." Dachengzi said, "A person's choice of living environment, lifestyle, quality of life, work attitude, and life are all related to one's outlook on life.

Values ​​and world views are closely connected and inseparable. It can be said that daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inseparable from choices. Choices run through the entire process of life. There are choices everywhere in life. Choices determine the trajectory and glorious course of life. So it is said

, learning to choose is half the battle in life.

"

Fang Monan gave a thumbs up, "My cousin is very knowledgeable!"

Dachengzi scratched his head, a bit confused. Shitou continued, "My father also reads a lot in his spare time. Although he is very busy, he still makes time to read. At first, he didn't know some words, and he even had to ask me to read them to him.

Explain the meaning of the word!" He looked at Dachengzi with emotion and said, "To be honest, I admire you very much. From not knowing a lot of Chinese characters to being able to read a lot of books, to say such a truth, really..."

"Principles are very superficial. These are just some life insights! Your grandfather also has a series of great principles." Dachengzi said casually. "Mediocre people are defeated by laziness, and capable people are defeated by arrogance. There are two kinds of people in the world.

They are bound to fail miserably. One type is a lazy person, and the other type is a proud person.

People. The former wants to do everything "tomorrow" and always gets it done; the latter looks down on everyone in the world and thinks he is the smartest, often attracting dissatisfaction and resentment from others, so he is often slandered and cursed by others, and finally

Swallowed by malicious slander.
