Reborn to create a virtual world

Lin Shu opened the door and asked, "What happened?"

Tang Shao said: "I ran away from home because my mother wouldn't let me participate in volunteer activities."

This is really... an unexpected development.

Lin Shu brought Tang Shao into the room, sat down with him face to face, and asked, "Why aren't you allowed to participate in volunteer activities?"

"They think I can't bear the hardships, saying that volunteering is not beneficial, and the school just wants us to do free labor and earn fame..." Tang Shao frowned, looking angry, and he didn't know who it was targeting.

Lin Shu was stunned.

Tang Shao actually didn't need his answer, but just stared at the table with his head down, and said, "Is it true that only good things can be done!? Is it wrong to help others!? I don't know What do adults think... anyway, I think they... are so bad."

With tears in his eyes, Tang Shao looked up at Lin Shu: "Are all adults like this? Only do things that are beneficial? The school is really trying to get us to do white jobs and earn a reputation." Did you arrange an event?"

Facing Tang Shao's questioning, Lin Shu was silent for a while.

Tang Shao, a child, has been a little different from others since before.He is different from his neighbor Meng Chao in elementary school, and Xu Liangqi who often hangs out with him now.Tang Shao is not stupid, so as long as he pays more attention, he can be admitted to Nanzhong with his own efforts.But also because of his cleverness and precocity, this child has a lot of ideas since he was a child.For some things, he thinks more, is more assertive and stubborn.

He has his own outlook on life, and on weekdays he acts like Xu Liangqi is mature and sensible, but in fact there is always a flame burning in his heart.So when he was in elementary school, he would fight with others because of Wei Yan, a fat girl who was only on good terms with him, and would run away from home because of his parents' neglect, so at this moment... he would be angry, suspicious, and anxious because of his parents' snobbish remarks.

Such a child is actually the most difficult to teach. According to the general saying, this is a deep reserve of the second disease, and it will become black if you are not careful.

So in the face of such a young partner who was in the reserve for the second disease, Lin Shu inevitably took a little time to organize his words before speaking.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "... There is a saying called 'to lose is to take advantage', and there is another word called 'long-term benefit'."

"Tang Shao, if you ask me if everyone acts for the benefit...I will tell you, yes."

Tang Shao looked at Lin Shu in surprise, opened his mouth for a while, but still couldn't make a sound.

Lin Shu continued: "everyone in this world does everything for a certain benefit, a certain return, that's for sure. The difference probably lies in the return they seek, for example, When you are nice to a classmate and do things for him, sometimes it may be because he can help you with a roll call, sometimes it is because he can play games with you, or it may be because he has common hobbies with you and can Let's talk about things we like..."

Tang Shao was astonished and said, "Is this considered a benefit?"

"Why not? There are various returns and benefits, not just money. You see, according to your mother, if the school arranges us to do volunteer work, it will give the school a good reputation, right? Then the school After we have gained a good reputation, what about us? After we help others, will we be thanked by others? Will people say that we are students who are willing to help others, and we have gained a good reputation like this? Even helping others is a kind of It’s a more pleasant thing.” Lin Shu smiled and said, “For example, if someone likes you and thinks you are a good person, they want to associate with you because of this...is this considered a benefit? "

Tang Shao thought for a while before saying, "I don't think this is a specific benefit. But if you say that, Lin Shu, I think it should count, because I think it is a good thing to be liked."

Lin Shu nodded and said, "That's it. Some benefits you can see, some you can't see. Fame, friendship, reputation, respect, peace of mind...these are all benefits that you can't see. That's why some people say that 'to suffer a loss is to take advantage of it'. The loss here is not a real loss, but what you have given to help others. Maybe others will not be able to give you anything in return in the short term, but one day you will be rewarded. This word has many meanings, Tang Shao, you will experience it little by little in the future, and I will tell you one or two points. Do you know what the long-term benefits are?"

Tang Shao thought for a while and said, "The benefits of a long time?"

"You can say that." Lin Shu tilted his head and smiled. "To give a simple example, let's say that two different supermarkets buy the same product at exactly the same price. One sells it for 15 yuan, and the other sells it for 20 yuan. Take a look. It seems that the latter one made five yuan more than the former one, do you think that the one that sells for 15 yuan actually suffered a loss?"

Tang Shao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Well, I don't think I will suffer a loss. Because the supermarkets sell too expensive things, no one will buy them after a long time."

Lin Shu nodded and said: "This is the 'long-term benefit'. Reputation, interpersonal relationship, brand reputation...these are all long-term benefits. For people, there are more types of long-term benefits, such as knowledge, experience , friendship, reputation... So your mother is half right, for things like arranging students to participate in voluntary labor, the school can indeed gain a lot of benefits—not just a good reputation."

"However, you won't get nothing. You'll gain experience, experience, some knowledge that you don't usually know, and memories of working and labor with friends, which is the half of what your mother didn't say right. It's nothing' There's no use' thing."

After Tang Shao heard this, his frown slowly relaxed.He nodded vigorously to Lin Shu, and said: "Lin Shu, you are right, I think so too, but there is no way to speak so clearly like you."

Then he said: "I now think that my mother was a big fool—short-sighted!"

Although Lin Shu also felt that Tang Shao's parents were bad, but hearing what Tang Shao said, he still felt a little bad, so he said, "No, actually your mother..." He hesitated for a while, and finally smiled, no Correct Tang Shao, but said, "Your mother may pay more attention to practical things such as money, but people must first have skills to make money. We learn more things now, and the more knowledge we gain, they will become ours in the future." Ability. Your mother doesn't understand these things."

Or in other words, I don't want to understand.

Tang Shao worshiped Lin Shu.In other words, every child in their circle admires Lin Shu very much.If Ju Mingfeng is the king of kids, then Lin Shu is the brother next door who seems to know everything and is gentle and kind.Compared with his parents, Tang Shao obviously listened to Lin Shu more, so he slowly let go of the annoyance and anger before going out.

After that, Lin Shu called Tang Shao's family and told them about Tang Shao.Tang Shao's father has always been a little scrupulous about Lin Shu, because he doesn't want his son to get too close to Lin Shu, and he can't directly explain his feelings to any outsiders.

After all, Lin Shu is intelligent, outstanding, good-natured, and her family is rich. On the surface, there is nothing that a parent of a student can pick on and prevent her children from interacting with her.Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Shao didn't listen to them much after entering middle school.

Father Tang wanted to pick Tang Shao up, but Tang Shao refused.The father and son quarreled on the phone, and Tang's father hung up the phone angrily, but Tang Shao was able to stay at Lin Shu's house for one night as he wished.

Afterwards, Tang's mother called again, and talked to Tang Shao in a good voice for a while, and after agreeing to let him go to school activities, Tang Shao felt a little better.He told Mother Tang about Lin Shu's "long-term interests" theory, and finally made Mother Tang agree with what she said, and then turned around and made a V sign with Lin Shu.

Lin Shu smiled.

But hearing Tang's father's voice, Lin Shu couldn't help thinking of the first time he met those two parents, and the case that Ju Mingfeng talked about in the taxi.He seemed to ask Tang Shao casually, "By the way, how is Meng Chao doing now?"

Tang Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's okay. He's in the eleventh middle school now, but his grades don't seem to be very good. But Meng Chao wasn't very good at reading, and his parents didn't seem to care about it. He said his grandma Having said that, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get into college, we will sponsor a school for him, and then let him get a girlfriend and get married early, and keep the company at home."

After hearing this, Lin Shu was silent for a long time before asking Tang Shao, "What about you? What do you want to do in the future?"

Tang Shao actually didn't think about this question specifically, so when Lin Shu asked him, he paused for a while, and after serious thinking for a while, he replied: "This... I haven't thought about what I will do in the future. But Lin Shu If you ask me, I think I might want to make a game. I want to work with everyone to make the most fun game in the world."

Lin Shu laughed immediately after hearing this, and said, "Come on!"

The next day, the kids met at the library.Le Future and the others were very surprised when they heard about Tang Shao's parents.Xu Liangqi was particularly fussy, and said to Tang Shao: "Your parents' ideas are so strange. My dad said that this school activity is very good. It allows us to see the hard work of the farmers and experience the joy of labor. My dad said If I give up halfway, he will not recognize me as a son."

Le Future also said: "How can volunteering be meaningless? Helping others is the most meaningful thing. Your parents' ideas are wrong."

Ye Qingdie said: "When my sister had an accident, my family received help from many people. My parents and I are still very grateful to those uncles and aunts, and have been in touch with them. I think you helped Everyone will remember others. If others have difficulties one day, we will definitely help. How can it be meaningless?"

Tang Shao received the support of his friends, and his injured heart felt healed a lot in an instant, but he also felt a little sour in his heart, complaining that his parents were not as reasonable as others.

No matter what, the knot in Tang Shao's heart was almost resolved.

Afterwards, they discussed the summer vacation topic, brainstormed for a period of time, and then went out for dinner.As a result, on the edge of Moon Lake, I saw a crowd gathered. It seemed that some crew was out on location, and there were people watching from the outer circle.
