Aiding was surprised to find that this ramen shop, which was originally small, was divided into two adjacent shops, one of which was Xia Yueyue's father and the other of which was hers.

"Come and try my new recipe!" Xia Yueyue stood at the door of the store and greeted enthusiastically.

Aidin tasted it and found it was OK.

Looking up at Xia Yueyue, the girl was still so energetic, as lively and cute as before.

“I made a lot of new recipes, including tomatoes, pilosula bones, and spicy… which one do you want to eat?”

"Are you planning to start your own business? But why is your store so unbusy?" Aiding looked at the next door, and all kinds of seats were placed on the sidewalk.

I looked at the place again and it seemed that he was the only customer.

"Don't anyone like it? I think it's okay!" Aiding took a sip of the soup, and he thought it was delicious.

"Oh, I don't know... Maybe my dad has many old customers." Xia Yueyue dragged her chin and was very distressed.

It’s strange that the practice is more diverse than that of my father, but I can’t compare to my father…

Then, the next year...

Seeing that the business could not continue, the two stores naturally merged into one.

Xia Yueyue's father has begun to retire because he is getting older, and he only occasionally helps a little. The civilian class who has been engaged in physical labor for a long time will not live that long.

However, with Xia Yueyue's ability, he can take good care of the store.

Obviously, after abandoning those strange recipes, the business became as popular as before. The old customers were still quite willing to take care of Xia Yueyue's business.

"Did you give up on them? I think it's delicious." Aiding said in confusion.

"Maybe it's because I'll get tired of eating after eating for a long time, or maybe it's other reasons... Oh, I can't do anything about it. Anyway, it's the best way to do business." Xia Yueyue shook her head, slightly depressed.

Then she said ambitiously: "I decided to open another store! Otherwise, how could I be the queen of ramen!"

"Uh... you must choose the position." Aiding instructed. He smiled slightly. This is the Xia Yueyue he knew.

"Do you want to invest in me?" Her eyes flashed.

"Of course it's OK."

...

The third year.

Xia Yueyue has opened a new chain store, with a very good location and a lot of traffic.

Moreover, she used her father's old recipe.

But looking at the store where she was no longer able to do so, she was obviously failing again.

The surrounding old shops were all full, but there was no one to visit her ramen shop.

"Why? Aidin, I'm so sorry, wasted your investment."

With repeated failures, Xia Yueyue no longer had the momentum of being the "ramen queen". At this time, she had been in the society for three years and was no longer as immature as before.

Aiding sighed. The little money he invested was nothing to him. However, Xia Yueyue still couldn't find the reason for the failure.

The fourth year...

The newly invested ramen shop went bankrupt again, and Xia Yueyue obediently took over her father's shop.

"I'm sorry, Aiding. It's really a great loss." Xia Yueyue said with a wry smile.

Four years have left her face with wind and frost. This industry is so hard. I have to go to someone to start making soup at 6 o'clock in the morning, and close the store until 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening. I will have to take a day off a week, so I can basically not think about it on holidays. Although the income is OK, it is just OK...

But, what else can I do?

The fifth year...

Xia Yueyue is still making ramen in her father's shop.

Year 6...

I still stayed in her store. I have been in so many years and it is impossible to start a business again.

The seventh year.

Still staying in her shop.

The eighth year, the ninth year...

So, fifteen years have passed...

Still staying in her shop.

Thirty years have passed...

At this moment, Aiding is already a real sociologist.

His footprints are spread across the planets in the solar system, and he has a deeper understanding of the cultures rooted in the deeper parts of each planet. Many star fields have their own differences, but they have common ground.

Over the years, Aiding has seen many people and encountered many things, and wrinkles have grown on his forehead. These wrinkles are not symbols of aging, but rather symbols of growth.

On this day, he quietly returned to the earth to carry out his promise.

The business in the ramen shop is still booming, and he sighed softly, "Xia Yueyue, come with a bowl of beef ramen!"

Even though the business is busy, Xia Yueyue still cooks himself, "Your ramen."

She was at the table, looking at Aiding with curved eyes.

As time passes, there seems to be no change, and it seems to have changed a lot.

"It seems that I realized my dream first." Aiding sighed after taking the last sip of soup.

When talking about this past, Xia Yueyue could only smile sadly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Aiding, I was so young at that time..."

"It's so wonderful to dream of something like this..."

"Really..."

“It’s very far away…”

...

"Friends of Earth Age, Golden Sun, can you understand this steady state rooted in the entire society?"

"This world is no longer suitable for the existence of dreams. Xia Yueyue is not an isolated case."

"The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is not too big, but making money has become extremely difficult. Only one of the 1,000 entrepreneurs can survive fortunately."

"...The chairman's son is still the chairman, the lawyer's son is still the lawyer, the doctor's daughter is still the doctor, and the ramen shop's daughter is still making ramen... There is almost no communication between the upper, middle and lower levels."

"Some people can get rid of this fate. As long as they want to break free, failure comes to them."

"Only people like me who are born free can do the job they want."

In fact, such a world is not necessarily bad.

In a society with a large gap between the rich and the poor but strong mobility, and a society with a small gap between the rich and the poor but not strong mobility, choose one of the two. If it is an ordinary person, which one would you choose?

Many people think the former is better. But for ordinary people with ordinary IQ, courage and knowledge, choosing the latter may be better.

The former gives ambitious people hope, but the latter is a good place for the majority of mediocre people, at least it means that the family is stable and will not be in a down-and-out street.

If you make enough money, you can be free occasionally...it can be considered a better life.

In other words, most people in society have accepted their mediocrity. The environment of the entire world and the culture rooted in the depths of civilization have instilled their ideas.

Isn't it good to be mediocre?

It is very good to be mediocre. The productivity of this world is already high enough, and there is no need to develop technology or more innovation. Mediocre people can live a good life. As long as they inherit their parents' positions, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and it will be no problem to be happy.

In addition, the channels for upward promotion are too narrow. As the main body of class leap, young people's awareness of leap is becoming increasingly depressed and they are trapped in the sequelae of "working disease".

The benefits brought by struggle are too small.

As for the lifespan issue, it is no longer too big. As technology stagnates, the average lifespan has stopped growing.

As for the upper class who can live three or four hundred years old, and the lower class can live two or three hundred years old, it seems that it is no big deal... Isn't it natural for rich people to live longer? In the end, they will still die. If they can accept this, there will be no conflicts of all sizes.
