Elevator encounter

While waiting for the elevator, a mother and daughter came over and stood behind me.

The girl is six or seven years old and looks very beautiful. The little girl chattered with her mother and suddenly found a kitten in the transparent window of my backpack.

She smiled happily and praised loudly in an exaggerated tone. "Wow, there is a cat here, how cute!" "

Can't wait to respond, the little loli began to beg, "Mom, I want to have a cat, too, can I?"

Mom smiled in a perfunctory tone. "Of course, but waiting for you ..."

"Great, then, can we have ten? I love them so much that I can save my meal and feed them! "

Mother's still smiling expression began to look serious and dignified.

"Oh, raise ten, but you have to grow up to learn to take care of them, and you have to make money to make them happy."

The little girl was silent for a while and regained her joy just now.

"Good mother, but I can eat one first. The kitten is so cute! "

I had to stop this interesting eavesdropping when the elevator door reached the floor.

The conversation between mother and daughter went away with the elevator rising, and I suddenly worried about the little girl's disappointment in the future.

Accepting the harsh social reality is the only way for everyone.

It's a pity that children in China face it too early, and the future is too heavy.

Perhaps the reason why contemporary young people choose not to have children is precisely a kind of sympathy.
