Chat with cousin

Me: Are you still awake?

Cousin: I started practicing calligraphy when I was studying in Sichuan. I practiced for half a year, using brushes, soft pens and fountain pens.

Doesn’t my cousin’s answer seem to be wrong, or even a little incomprehensible? In fact, it’s not. It’s just that the chat between my cousin and I in WeChat Moments was not recorded by me, and that’s why this happened. Incomprehensible way of answering.

Me: How is the brush?

Cousin: Mainly in regular script, artistic fonts, and artistic signatures.

Me: Now (how is the brush)

Cousin: The brush is no longer good, I can only use soft pens and fountain pens.

Cousin: Pens are my favorite.

Cousin: At your current age, you should have gone out and experienced it a long time ago.

Me: Self-study, or there are special tutorials or tutoring.

Cousin: If you stay like this, you will be depressed.

Me: I seem to have worked outside.

Cousin: Self-study.

Me: Actually, I’m a little (depressed).

Cousin: Who would ask (teach) me? (Teaching) requires money, and the only way is self-study.

Me: So do you think it’s time to go out... or do something else?

Cousin: imitation and transcendence.

Cousin: Self-taught calligraphy.

Cousin: It takes time to practice calligraphy.

Cousin: A drop of water can penetrate a stone in a day.

Me: It’s easy to imitate. If you want to surpass, you only have to wait until you form your own style.

Cousin: Now, the most important thing in society is not to mess around.

Cousin: When you feel depressed and lonely out of society, you will think that you have been tossing for so long to no avail.

Me: Does messing around mean not working properly, or does it mean doing something illegal and indisciplined?

Cousin: I think a normal person would not do anything that violates laws and disciplines.

Cousin: So it’s the former.

Cousin: As a manager, you will know after you have more experience.

Cousin: I understand deeply.

Me: So your recent plans are mainly about work.

Me: I am currently debating whether to go to the... with...them... or to go outside alone to have a look, that is... to... fuck.

Cousin: You can keep your job as long as you think it suits you.

Cousin: Let me tell you about the industries I have worked in since I came out of society at the age of 19.

Me: OK.

Cousin: It can give you a lot of experience.

Me: I feel like I’m not as small as..., so I can’t live in...

Cousin: I studied in a technical secondary school in 2019 and worked as an intern in Jiangsu for six months. It's an electronics factory, so it's really hard.

Cousin: I finished my internship at the age of 20 and left my job alone to go home.

Me: What happened next?

Me: The first factory I entered, I worked there for three years.

Cousin: I missed home very much. I bought a mobile phone with only 20,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan, and I called 10,000 yuan home.

Me: There were a lot of things going on during the period.

Cousin: It only costs a few hundred yuan to go home for the New Year.

Cousin: I feel worried every time I go home.

Me: Hey! I used to be obsessed with mobile phones, but now I have been using this mobile phone for almost two years.

Cousin: In 2020, I worked with my eldest brother in real estate sales for eight months.

Me: How do you feel?

Cousin: I have been using the 19 mobile phone for three years and still have it.

Cousin: Eight months of sales have made me a lot more mature.

Me: Do you mean that you have become sophisticated and diplomatic in dealing with others, or?

Cousin: I worked in real estate, ran a food delivery service, worked in an electronics factory, a piecework factory, and worked in seven or eight factories a day as a salesperson.

Cousin: I worked on a construction site.

Cousin: Anyway, I have been struggling for almost two years.

Cousin: Now my heart has completely calmed down.

Me: Is there anything else?

Cousin: I don’t want to bother anymore.

Me: Me, maybe it’s because of my bad memory.

Cousin: Time flies like an arrow and the sun and the moon fly by.

Cousin: It’s time to get married.

Me: I have definitely said that I will never enter a factory or work on a construction site again, but now I have to choose between these two.

Cousin: Anyway, it won’t be a burden to the family.

Cousin: I really don’t know how to work in a factory now.

Me: Do you plan to do the job you are doing well?

Cousin: The factory is a place where people who have no choice but to choose life go.

Cousin: The construction site is the choice of most adults.

Cousin: Yes.

Cousin: I would only choose a place where I can make money with a little freedom.

Me: For those like me who don’t have..., I don’t seem to have a better choice!

Cousin: Society is very realistic.

Me: This is natural, but you still have to have dreams, just like the pen calligraphy you practice. Right!

Cousin: Every year when I go home and see my parents getting older and older, I feel a little sad.

Cousin: How sad.

Me: To be honest, I had this feeling when I was in junior high school, but now this feeling is getting weaker and weaker!

Me: Maybe it’s because I’ve been staying with my parents this year, or maybe I’ve become more selfish.

Cousin: Half of my life is young and frivolous, and the remaining half is used to be sentimental. Unfortunately, I was also a high-spirited young man before. From time to time, when I recall the past, all I have left is a few lines of tears. Who is not frivolous when he is young, but after being frivolous, he can only bear it on his own. Wandering through this period, the last thing left was only two lines of tears.

Cousin: Actually, it’s good to spend more time with your parents.

Me: No, I feel that parents only need one child to accompany them.

Cousin: In a blink of an eye, I have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business. My parents are both in their fifties and sixties.

Me: The child who can please his parents the most.

Cousin: To start a family, you must first start a family.

Me: I only started panicking this year, and suddenly panicked in all aspects.

Cousin: Your parents are getting old, how many years do you still have to accompany them.

Me: That’s right. Only when you get married first can you calm down.

Cousin: Don’t think about Dink.

Cousin: When you think of your parents talking like a Dink, this idea is temporary.

Cousin: Loneliness, loneliness can make a person depressed.

Me: God, did my mother tell you something about me.

Cousin: No.

Cousin: What I said are all my own thoughts.

Cousin: Voice.

Me: Sometimes, when my mom and dad push me, I say I don’t plan to get married.

Me: Of course! This is just my own joke.

Cousin: When you are truly panicked, you will slowly find that what you thought is no longer so self-righteous.

Me: Yes, yes.

Cousin: Don’t bother with it when you are spending your good years.

Me: I used to think that I had to wait until I became better before I could be worthy of something.

Me: For example, love or something.

Cousin: In a blink of an eye, I am already running towards Ben 3.

Cousin: Although some things are counterproductive.

Me: But now it seems that I see others as too perfect, so I always think that I have to become more perfect to be worthy of them.

Cousin: But the happiest thing is what I experienced.

Me: Have you contacted Xiaoyou?

Me: I feel you still need to talk to Xiaoduo.

Cousin: I’ve finished my nice words to him.

Cousin: How can I change my own affairs?

Cousin: I still have to take care of myself.

Me: I feel that overall, Xiaoyou is happier and more comfortable than me.

Cousin: What do you think of me?

Me: As you said yourself, you have grown a lot.

Cousin: Remember something when going out into society.

Cousin: No one will treat you well except your parents.

Me: Wrong, there is another one.

Cousin:?

Me: After getting married, my wife should do the same to herself!

Cousin: No.

Cousin: That happened after marriage.

Cousin: Love does not last forever.

Me: Yes, I am talking about after marriage.

Cousin: Nine out of ten relationships are sad.

Cousin: Parents come first before marriage.

Me: This is true.

Cousin: After marriage, the three of them should look at reality.

Me: Three?

Me: Is there another one?

Cousin: parents’ partner.

Me: Ah!

Cousin: It is.

Me: Oh, I understand. In fact, there should only be two parents and a partner, not three.

Cousin: How can you say that your wife is a bit unkind to your parents in married life? How can you say that your parents are not nice to you and your daughter-in-law.

Cousin: Father, mother, daughter-in-law, all three.

Me: My opinion is that parents are the same person.

Cousin: Specifically, both are correct.

Me: Have you made any career plans or life plans?

Cousin: Actually, it’s not necessary.

Cousin: A simple and happy life is enough.

Cousin: Do what you should do, and accept that things don't go as planned. We need to work hard, but maybe if we work hard, we will still get nothing in the end.

Cousin: But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t work hard, because if you don’t work hard, it will be nothing.

Me: Yes, yes.

Cousin: Today’s society is very realistic.

Me: Do you have a good plan for making money?

Me: You can also elaborate on this.

Cousin: Today’s society is all about money.

Cousin: If you have money, you can happily do many things that you want to do. When you were young, you wanted to do things that you didn’t have the ability to do. Now that you have money, you can do it. Without money, it is difficult to do anything.

Cousin: It’s like you can see everything and understand it in your heart, but you just can’t control it. This is life.

Me: Well, we may not be able to wait for the day when real socialism comes!

Cousin: Living is meaningless, but when we live, we must give it a meaning. This meaning is the meaning of our living, and the meaning of living is to find a way to survive.

Cousin: Accept what you can’t change and change what you can, come on.

Me: Are you going to sleep?

Cousin: This sentence is great. Things are different and people are different. Let’s shed tears before you want to speak.

Me: But I will forget this sentence soon.

Cousin: Just do as much as you are capable

Cousin: Live happily every day, do what you like, and don’t give yourself a life pressure.

Cousin: Things are different and people are different.

Cousin: Go to sleep, actually, I understand the truth.

Me: If there is no pressure, there will be no motivation!

Me: I will finish coding the article immediately and take a break after coding.

Cousin: Yeah.

Cousin: Go to bed early!

Me: OK.

Cousin: Write about things that don’t play with.

Cousin: I can’t finish writing about the changing world and the endless vicissitudes of time.

Cousin: Although I can’t write, I think if I could I might write better than you [silly laugh].

Me: How about you write it to me.

Me: I am a prostitute for free.

Cousin: Forget it, just be independent.

Cousin: I’m talking about classics [face covering].

After all, I chatted with my cousin for almost an hour that day. During the chat, I was writing code. The only thing my cousin repeated during the chat was "this society is very realistic", which means that my cousin thinks this society is very cruel. Of course! In addition to reality, society is still very warm. Otherwise, people like me with no background would probably end up on the streets.
