The world enters the age of myth

"Hmm... does the company pay the bill... more than 20,000 yuan?" Lu Guoqiang had never spent so extravagantly in his life, and he suddenly felt a little excited.

He worked in the boiler factory all his life. In today's terms, he was an honest man all his life. He had late birth and late childbearing, good health and good upbringing, obeyed discipline and obeyed orders. The biggest benefit from the work unit is that I was assigned this house before the market economy reform.

In his opinion, the only future is his son.

The last time Lu Yiming transferred 200,000 yuan to them, the old man bragged viciously in front of his old friends for a week.

That feeling...it was simply elated and couldn't be more exciting!

At this time, Lu Yiming's mother also heard the conversation outside and came out of the small room.

"Huh? You came back and you didn't call me in advance? I didn't even help you get food in."

"...What, will you take us on a trip?"

As a retired teacher, Xue Xue can be considered an intellectual and has a bit of literary tendencies. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled happily.

When she was young, she still wanted to travel around the country, but she had a dead husband and was not financially well-off, so she had no choice.

Suddenly, the mahjong game could only end.

A group of aunts came out of the room. After hearing about this incident, they praised Lu Lu for being "filial" and "promising", "I have a girl over there who is really the right age", "what a pity" Not a civil servant" and other words made his scalp numb and his social phobia was faintly breaking out.

These aunts are so lethal!

And their concept is very strange. A manager with an annual salary of one million is not as good as a civil servant with an annual salary of tens of thousands... What is this idea? Completely confused.

Lu Yiming quickly hid in the room.

Half an hour later, when he came out of the room, the aunts had left.

Lu Guoqiang said: "I just called your sister-in-law. She said that Ye Qingqing had to make up classes, so she couldn't go. Maybe they were too embarrassed..."

In front of his father, Lu Yiming was not polite: "What's the point of making up classes? What classes should I make up for after the summer vacation? Can't you wait until the trip is over to come back to make up classes? Anyway, the summer vacation is so long, why do you care about these few days? The tickets have been bought. Yes, it cost more than 20,000 yuan. If they don’t go, when will they wait next time? Ask them to send their ID cards quickly!”

It's not that he said this intentionally, but he knew deeply that this was what his family did.

Lu Guoqiang nodded and made another call.

This matter soon came to an end. My sister-in-law and her family agreed. Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was summer vacation now, otherwise it would have been a lot more troublesome to get my sister-in-law and her family there...

That night, after dinner, he returned to his room, thinking in his mind: "There are 8 extra family quotas left, who should be allocated to them?"

Very distressed, really distressed!

Recalling something that happened to a person he met recently, Lu Yiming didn't know what to choose. Whichever one you choose and which one you abandon, there is a sense of guilt.

They are all living, moving, human beings with their own thoughts and independent personalities.

From a traditional perspective, Bian Yuwei, the colleague who took out a loan shark, may not be a good girl, but does she deserve to die?

Of course she didn't deserve to die, she had the right to live.

Taxi drivers who talk nonsense about mountains and astronomy and geography on the roadside have a hard time leaving early and returning late every day for their own families.

As for her mother's poker friends, these aunts are just enjoying their old age...

Everyone has the right to live.

Without these eight extra places, Lu Yiming would not have any psychological burden. Prioritizing saving your loved ones is a natural choice and a universal value. Even a saint who stands on the moral high ground cannot fault much when faced with such universal values.

It is impossible to save other people first without choosing your own relatives. That would be too false.

But now that there are 8 more places, he feels a kind of sincere depression and pain.

In the past, I always felt that the more tickets, the better, but now... the psychological burden is too heavy.

"Old Zhong, do you have enough tickets? I have a lot in hand. You can take it if you want." Lu Yiming asked on his mobile phone.

"Don't give it to me!" Zhong Peng replied on his mobile phone: "My quota is enough. I have worked in the research institute for two years."

Zhong Peng naturally knows that this thing has become a hot potato, and after too much, it becomes a psychological burden.

Anyone can be saved, so why favor one over another? You save one person, which is equivalent to another person losing hope of survival...

Lu Yiming asked: "What do you think should be done with the extra ferry tickets?"

Zhong Peng replied on the phone: "If you have a girl you like, then give it to the girl you like. If not, then give priority to young people and give it to your classmates or other people with work skills... you can only If this is the case, how else can we deal with it?”

Lu Yiming thought for a long time. His classmates in junior high school and high school who had not contacted each other for such a long time had actually grown apart a long time ago. The friends we once chatted and laughed with gradually drifted away, but after we really contacted each other, we found that everyone was not the same as before, so there was nothing to miss.

Without common experiences and common topics, what's the point of trying to force the friendship we once had?

On the contrary, classmates in college will sometimes give me likes in their circle of friends. After all, it is only a year away from graduating from college.

However, after just one year, the only friendships that can be recalled and the common language that can be generated are likes in the circle of friends...

There are very few opportunities to play games together.

"Hey, I'm such a lonely person..." Lu Yiming sighed and searched in WeChat for a while. He found a total of four classmates, two men and two women.

The two boys had the same dormitory roommate and they got along well with each other during the four years of college.

The two girls are the top students in the same class. They are quite good-looking and fair-skinned. They often get together to play board games, such as Werewolf, Three Kingdoms, etc., and they are quite familiar with each other.

Looking back on the past time, I feel quite emotional.

Lu Yiming once had a crush on both of his female classmates, and he struggled with who he should choose... As for why in the end, he only had a crush on them and there was no follow-up story, Lu Yiming didn't know.

Maybe it's because I'm not proactive enough.

"It would also be good to have a balance between men and women."

After selecting the people, he formed a small group, distributed four QR codes to the group, and said, "Dear friends, there are only four places. Please register quickly. Don't let the QR code leak out. After logging in to this website, Make the four sides of the face and then click to confirm the information.”

Registration for boat tickets is very simple. Just scan the QR code with your mobile phone and perform facial recognition. Your identity information will pop up on the website, and you're done by clicking to confirm.

"Lu Yiming, what are you posting? Are you doing a pyramid scheme?"

After a while, one roommate joked.

Lu Yiming didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't tell everything openly in the group.

If these old classmates spread the news on a large scale and are detected by the big data system, they themselves will be held accountable.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea and typed on his phone: "Sorry to bother you all. This is a facial recognition software developed by our team, which can identify identity data. Don't worry, it is a cooperative project with the government. , not the kind of private messing. If you are free, I hope you can help test whether this software can complete facial recognition... Please help me, just scan the QR code and facial recognition will be fine."

Since everyone is so familiar with the game before, I have to help with such a small favor.
