First of all, it doesn't matter whether Liu Xing's home is three-bedroom or four-bedroom. The key is in a place like Beijing's capital. Moreover, as can be seen from the play, the surrounding environment and traffic are very developed, which shows that the lot is extraordinary in other places.
Although Liu Xing has two fathers, I mainly focus on the plot. Judging from emotional intelligence and conversation, this stepfather grew up in an unusual environment. He was able to receive education and have a certain cultural accomplishment, which was remarkable at that time. Liu Xing's mother is also educated and works in a hospital. At that time, a girl could be a medical nurse. In this place of the capital, her income is not necessarily very low. You can see that when they were children,
Xia Donghai accompanied his ex-wife to work in the United States. After the divorce, he returned to China with his 7-year-old son Yu Xia, reunited with his daughter Xia Xue, who grew up in China, and later married Liu Mei, the head nurse of a big hospital. Liu Mei is also divorced and has a son named Liu Xing. The common feature of Xia Donghai and Liu Mei is that they care about their children's growth. They hope to "fuse" their love and wisdom and cultivate the next generation with a happy life. The three brothers and sisters living under the same roof, although different in blood and age, get along like their own. However, due to their different growing environments and different personalities and hobbies, disputes are inevitable. The three people sometimes unite to deal with difficult parents, and sometimes fight with each other for their own rights. This family of five living under the same roof, due to different personalities and habits, there will inevitably be disputes and conflicts between children and parents, between children and between father and mother. In addition, their grandfathers, grandmothers, biological fathers and biological mothers often intervene, which is even more lively and interesting.
As can be seen from the above aspects, Liu Xing is a wealthy family, much richer than us ordinary people.
I used to watch TV at home and have children. At that time, I said with emotion: Their family is really rich, so many children!
Now that the second child is released, many families are reluctant to have a second child because they have no money. Raising children is too expensive, but others are raising three children as if nothing had happened. All of them are beautifully dressed and have no worries about food and clothing. You know, that's the capital!
Parents know how much it costs for three children to go to school, and his family and three children are more than enough! Never heard them complain about having no money!
Look again, the house is just needed. His family lives in a nice neighborhood with four bedrooms and two halls. This is the Imperial Capital, which means their house is very expensive.
Their grandparents are both from Beijing. Seeing that Grandma Liu Xing and Grandpa Xiao Yu have nothing to do, they came to live for a few days, indicating that they all live very close, indicating that their grandparents have houses in Beijing.
In other words, his family is rooted in the old imperial city and has been proud of it for generations.
Don't say anything about food. Put at least a few vegetables and fruits casually every day.
At that time, I thought Liu Xing's clothes were particularly fashionable and beautiful, fashionable, foreign and beautiful. It seems that Liu Xing's father bought him hundreds of pairs of shoes in one episode.
There are several computers at home, so let's not talk about it.
There is another very profound detail. In addition to Liu Xing's father, who often comes to dinner, many relatives also come to live in turn. As the saying goes, the poor are afraid of relatives and the rich are afraid of thieves. With more relatives coming, the hospitality is naturally high, but when Liu Xing's family comes, the whole family warmly welcomes them, often for several days at a time.
So are people who are really rich.
The drama "Family with Children" was popular all over the country in those years, but it rarely explored the family's economic situation in detail. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is very absurd. The absurdity is that the families in Xia Donghai and Liu Mei are too rich, far beyond the setting of this class.
Originally, the positioning of this drama should be an ordinary family in a first-tier city. It was at the beginning of this century, so we can see that this drama is quite grounded in the plot. It's just that parents are short-lived, and what happens is something that any urban family will encounter, which has aroused great resonance from the audience. In those years before the Internet was about to be popularized and replaced TV, the highest ratings of rural families were Liu Laogen and others, and the highest ratings of urban families were "Family with Children". Go to the grocery store at night and even walk through any neighborhood, you can hear the familiar series "Family with Children".
However, this is not all.
The play resonates with the audience most of the time, but occasionally it surprises many viewers, that is: Why is Liu Xingjia so rich?
1. The house with two bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms, with an area of 150 to 200 square meters, is located in Beijing. Today, everyone knows that houses of this size in Beijing are sky-high. But it was fine at the time, not very expensive. After all, before 2005, Beijing's housing prices were still several years away from getting on the bus.
In other words, with the income level of Xia Donghai, Liu Mei at that time, buying such a house is certainly a big expense, but it is still completely affordable. Today, they have the same identity, the same place and location. Fifteen years later, they dare not even think about it.
That is to say, if this drama is filmed today, the roles of Liu Mei and Xia Donghai will be changed, and they must be senior gold collars, investors or successful bosses in Ode to Joy.
Therefore, at that time, this big house was not enough to show that their family was rich, let alone absurd. What is absurd? It's their daily expenses, which is very unreasonable.
Clothing, food, shelter and transportation, clothes first.
Liu Xing and his children were wearing famous sports brands. This reflects the differences of the times. In McDonald's in the 1990s, Nike shoes were a luxury, but now they are a bargain. Today, it is common to get a pair of sports shoes with a price of more than 89 100, and no one will think it is expensive, but before 2005? What was the salary then?
In contrast, the house was cheap at that time. Xiaoxue once said that his family has paid off the mortgage, only 3 thousand a month. But it's unreasonable for you to repay the loan, clothes and shoes are all famous brands, and the food is still so good.
Everyone still remembers that every time we eat, the dining table at home feels like the New Year, with five dishes and one soup, chicken, duck and fish, and often crabs.
Owners are also ridiculous. Refrigerators, like the lounges of Internet companies now, supply all kinds of drinks continuously.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation cost a lot, and even travel is extravagant. I remember once Xiaoxue said that she wanted to eat wild vegetables, and as a result, her grandmother took a taxi directly to the suburbs of Beijing, which was unambiguous.
We know that for the ordinary middle class, there are two consumption patterns, one is to spend money where it is visible, and the other is to spend money where it is invisible. The former, like eating instant noodles every day, is well dressed; The latter, seemingly poor, is very particular in places you can't see.
However, the consumption situation of Liu Xing's family is very funny. We should grasp both hands, not just both hands, but everything.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation have all passed, and even the developmental consumer Liu Xing's family is at the forefront of the times.
Xiaoxue Summer Camp, Liu Xing's Taekwondo class, the family is basically not at home on weekends, and the entertainment expenses of various venues, concerts and performances are really a lot.
At that time, many people just heard about luxury goods, but Liu Xing's mother has already started to consume them.
Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, a screenwriter and a nurse, are working-class people, although their income is not low. The consumption pattern presented in the play is a bit beyond the stable style of this class. After all, they have three children and their future education is uncertain. They must always save some money, but this kind of money can be spent and can't be saved at all.
Of course, there is another family whose parents are not very rich, but the older generation is very rich. But in this play, the grandparents of this family are not old overseas Chinese, so this doesn't make sense.
But the writers and directors basically didn't think too much about this, because the play itself is a comedy, which is to be extremely idealized, showing the happy life of a city family, just like Liu Xing's refrigerator, when it is opened, there are ice cream, Gao Legao and chocolate milk.
The conflict in this play doesn't have much cruel practical significance. The protagonist can't be cautious and pull a long face every day, so it's not "Family with Children" but "Dwelling House".
The identity of the protagonist should be grounded. If it is set as a capitalist family, although the consumption is consistent and not absurd, the audience will have a sense of distance. After all, there was no "small age" in that era, and the atmosphere of money worship was not as strong as it is now;
Therefore, you can understand that this movie is actually a half-empty setting-its consumption level definitely exceeds the setting of the characters in the play.
Dig into the details and see how rich Liu Xing's family is.
Xiaoyu's ice cream is Haagen-Dazs.
It's always in the refrigerator.
There are drinks in the refrigerator at any time.
Xiao Yu hai GUI
Dad, screenwriter
Mother, head nurse
Sister immigrated back.
Liu xing ...
Liu Mei left 2000 yuan on a business trip, which is a week's living expenses.
The whole family always eats crayfish and crabs, there is always fruit on the table, and there are n dishes in one meal.
Their home is probably a living room, an open kitchen, two bathrooms, three bedrooms (a light snow, a light rain Liu Xing, a Xia Donghai Liu Mei) and a study.
Oh, by the way, they also installed voice control lights in the toilet, but I don't have them at home now, and they are still incandescent lamps [tears]
In 2004, there were three computers at home.
The lucky money was given to 1800 at home.
Liu Mei's family is still preparing to go to the movies, live magic shows and concerts.
Three children were given 300 yuan to go out for a meal by themselves.
Born after 90 is a sitcom when I was a child. The post-90s generation is a childhood memory, just like Legend of Wulin and Princess Zhu Huan.
When I was a child, I just thought it was funny to watch this play. Xia Xue, naughty and funny Liu Xing, and Xiao Yu, although reunited, are still a happy family of three. When I was a child, I envied their family that every meal was particularly delicious, but the rice bowl was beautiful.
Recently, I painted the house again and found that Liu Xing's home is not only warm, but also luxurious, only luxurious.
First of all, Liu Mei is a nurse and Xia Donghai is a children's screenwriter.
Liu Mei's current job may not be so good (in fact, I think nurses are also a good job now, but the salary is not so high compared with big Internet companies), but in those days, nurses must be a very glamorous and decent job, and from the subsequent plot, Liu Mei can go abroad for further study, so the post salary is definitely not bad.
Not to mention Xia Donghai, the screenwriter, still stayed in the United States, and now it's 20 19! ! Although there are not a few people going abroad, most of them have not. And in the following story, it is mentioned that one piece can be added at a time, and every member of the family can buy a valuable gift. There was no humanity at that time. Even now, if you want to add a big piece to your family, you have to get a month and a half's salary. If it is a little better, it will be more. So now there is a saying on the Internet called "If you think this thing is expensive, you can divide it by 365 days a year", but Liu
Secondly, the house and the car, ten years ago, we didn't have a house at home! Everyone lives in a house in the country, and it will take ten years to catch up with others ten years ago.
Finally, about the three children,
First, remedial classes: several episodes did attend remedial classes. Although it is popular to make up lessons now, more than a decade ago, we were still playing with mud after 90. As a rural baby, I haven't attended remedial classes since I was a child, and my parents didn't realize that I must take remedial classes. This awareness is very advanced, which is also the reason why the rich are getting richer.
Second, the flow. In my impression, none of them need boarding, so the house must be in the school district or near the school. I will take a taxi to school, although I haven't realized the freedom of taking a taxi yet.
Third, snacks. There is an unlimited supply of Gao Legao, Haagen-Dazs, soft drinks, fruits and milk for breakfast, and chicken wings of coke in the refrigerator, which is totally inhuman for a slum girl like me who has not yet realized the freedom of milk tea!
Fourth, wear. Children wear Nike, Adidas, etc. Nowadays, many of us have to bite our teeth when buying branded clothes or shoes. For a slum girl like me, comfort is the main thing (hahaha actually has no money to buy big brands), and Liu Xing often buys football shoes ~ ~ ~ Various details show that their children's clothes are also famous brands ~
The last point is about cosmetics and skin care products in Liu Mei. A real big card
However, the most important thing is that their education is really rich. Every time they are naughty, parents are patient and educate their children in all directions, so that they can understand how to behave. For example, in an episode of Light Rain, Bo made a radio call and won a gift. In the end, I was not directly responsible for the children, but tried to keep the children's papers innocent. Pay attention to the ways and means of education) The children from this family will certainly not be too bad. They must be a gentle person who knows how to put themselves in their own shoes (this can be seen from the fact that all the children from Xia Donghai's unemployed families give up traveling and come back to surprise him).
Finally, I hope everyone can realize the freedom of money as soon as possible ~ ~ ~
Mm-hmm. On the right is a class. What I want to see. Can you announce a good news? Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh several times! This error is the latest version. I'll check it out. Come and test the one that suits you best. Standing in Longmen, Luoyang, the capital. You can't be the same as before I said I should take good care of myself.
When I was a child, I watched plays and patronized them. Now I'm still following the play and watching it.
Not to mention how rich Liu Xing's family is, just look at their children's clothes, and their daily life is much better than the average well-off life. However, the personality setting of Xia Dao and head nurse Liu Mei also determines that their living standards are higher than ordinary people. The third child of Xia Dao's family came back from the United States. Such a family has a high standard of living. Therefore, at that time, Liu Xingjia was already very rich. At least, children can eat whatever they want, wear whatever they want, and go outdoors if they want. Unlike some families, they have to look to the future and consider whether they can support their children's happy childhood!
As one of the most popular family sitcoms in China, The Family with Children series is undoubtedly quite successful. Among them, Zray, the actor of Liu Xing, and Andy, the actor of Xiaoxue, both grew up in the current fire and successfully joined the ranks of the new generation of actors. Their worth is self-evident, but in fact, before 15 years ago, families with children were already full of "small local tyrants".
15 years ago, I watched Home with Children. At that time, there were no high housing prices. At that time, the world didn't seem so greedy. I think it is full of common sense and humorous civilian family life. Ten years have passed, and now I'm going to see Home with Children. In addition to the warmth and warmth inside, the material life inside is still beyond the reach of many people at present.
Since it is an indoor family sitcom, let's talk about the house first. Liu Xingjia, with four bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms, should be about 150-200 square meters visually. There are two or three electronic products that can be seen everywhere in the home. I think we only saw computers in internet cafes in those years.
Followed by food and clothing, this table is full of big fish and big meat, shrimp and crabs are the daily life of Liu Xing's family, and there are a lot of Gao Legao and Haagen-Dazs. This is no ordinary well-off family ~ Let's take a look at Liu Xing's clothes, Nike, Philo and Adidas.
Next, let's take a look at Liu Mei's skin care products. In that era when most families were using Dabao, this dresser was full of international first-line brands, Estee Lauder, Shiseido and Givenchy. Any small bottle may be thousands of dollars, and now it is 20 19. Think twice every time you want to buy this kind of cosmetics.
In another episode, Liu Xing also said that "a good eraser costs at least ten yuan". Isn't the eraser used in our time fifty cents at most? And Liu Xing's grandfather came back from a concentrated tour to give him shorts, a pair of two or three hundred. How many people are still wearing dozens of shorts now?
It should be a well-off family. It can be seen from the geographical location of their home that they had high-rise buildings at that time and should be considered rich. Moreover, their room area is large enough, and the greening and environment of the community can also be seen as a high-end community. So I can conclude that it should be quite rich! ! !
It is hard to say whether their family is rich or not, but after more than ten years, many existing families in China are still far behind Liu Xing's family at that time.
