Shen Qian pursed his lips, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.
He had also thought about improving his family environment through hard work, but it was too difficult. The high housing prices were like a mountain that he could hardly climb.
He also knew that his wife didn't like living with her in-laws, but he was powerless to change anything.
Business is not good, rent is expensive, and money is required everywhere.
"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? You've suddenly become successful..."
"In my impression, you are still a frivolous brat."
"Isn't that touching?" Chen Chuan said smugly. "How about we change the way we address each other from now on? Why don't you just call me Brother Chuan?"
"I think your skin is itchy again!"
Shen Qian stretched out his hand, and another sudden blow landed on Shen Chuan's forehead.
......
After washing his hands, Chen Chuan returned to the store and picked up his eldest niece with a doting look on his face.
"You know what? My mom always complains that neither of her two sons has a conscience and never cares about her. If she had a girl, I wonder how much more caring she would be."
"It's all good now. I gave her a granddaughter. I can count on this little girl to be my sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket in the future."
Chen Qian smiled and said, "Just listen to her. When she's taking care of the kids, she always says she can't sleep well and can't play cards well."
"That's perfect, it saves me from having to play mahjong every night."
The only hobby of the old couple is playing mahjong. During festivals and holidays, when relatives and friends get together, they will inevitably connect with each other at the card table.
Chen Chuan also knows how to play cards, including bullfighting, poker, fast running, mahjong, and card games.
But he doesn't play much, only occasionally during the New Year holidays.
"You two brothers can chat first. I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables. Chen Chuan, I'll arrange what you want to eat."
After chatting for a while, Luo Jiao saw that the little girl was sleeping soundly, so she got up and prepared to buy dinner.
"Hangzhou pepper beef, spicy chicken offal."
Chen Chuan was not polite and ordered two of his favorite dishes. Luo Jiao left with a smile.
After she walked for a while, Shen Chuan was a little confused.
"What's going on? I've been sitting here for a while, and there's not a single customer."
"That's it. Business is tough inside the school, prices are already low, and competition is fierce." Shen Qian shook his head. "There are four other businesses like mine in this student apartment building, and mine has the worst location, behind the dormitory building."
“How much can you get on average in a day?”
"It depends. Most of the time I can average out around 300. After deducting all expenses, I can still save around 3,000 yuan a month."
"Three thousand..."
Chen Chuan sighed. Saving three thousand a month was useless these days.
All the money is spent during the holidays, and that's even if I don't get sick or be hospitalized.
The average house price in Jiangcheng is over 20,000 yuan. A three-bedroom house, including decoration and so on, costs at least two to three million yuan.
You can’t save enough for a down payment even if you save for your entire life.
Even if they managed to save enough for a down payment, they would not dare to take out a loan to buy a house.
The two brothers chatted for a long time. Perhaps because they were talking too loudly, the little girl woke up in a daze and observed Chen Chuan with her pure and innocent eyes wide open.
Chen Chuan was just about to tease her, but the next moment she burst into tears.
This made Shen Chuan flustered for a while, and finally he had to return the little girl to Shen Qian.
After playing in the store for a long time, Shen Chuan came to his parents' store.
The old couple was busy, and two female students were printing materials.
Seeing him coming, the couple looked surprised.
"Son, you're back!"
Wu Lin was pleasantly surprised.
"Dad, Mom~"
Chen Chuan walked up to the two of them with a happy smile.
Shen Bing suppressed his joy and said, "You little brat, why didn't you send me a message when you came back?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise. How about it? Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. Where's your luggage?"
"I left it in my brother's shop. I'll pick it up later."
Wu Lin laughed and scolded, "You're such a heartless person! You didn't come to see us first when you got home, but went to see your brother instead, right?"
"I was visiting my eldest niece."
Shen Bing and the other man stopped talking.
"Uncle and aunt, your son is so handsome."
The two female students next to them looked surprised.
"Haha, you have good taste, this brat looks like me." Shen Bing was very proud. "Classmates, have you guys found a girlfriend yet? My brat doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
The two female students stole a glance at Chen Chuan and suddenly became shy.
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
Even though Chen Chuan was thick-skinned, he was almost broken by his own old man.
Who would find a partner for their son in front of others?
A female student said shyly: "Uncle, I don't have a boyfriend."
"Son, add two classmates on WeChat and have a good chat."
Chen Chuan was speechless, but seeing the expectant looks of the two girls, he couldn't refuse them in person, so he took out his phone and scanned their WeChat messages.
After adding WeChat, the two female students left happily.
After they walked away, Chen Chuan said angrily, "Dad, please don't match people up blindly."
"Hey, it's no big deal!" Shen Bing said with a smug look on his face. "This is called making the best use of things, understand? These two girls have been peeking at you since you came here. I asked you to add them on WeChat, not to find you a wife, but to get them to come to my place to spend money in the future."
"No, that's my worth."
Shen Bing glanced at him and said calmly, "Just be happy. Without my good genes, how could you have such a good appearance?"
Shen Chuan was speechless.
