Late September.
Chen Pingsheng and his family officially started their moving plan.
It's not a big deal.
There were only three kids, big and small, and they basically took everything they needed.
Except for Erpi Ya who was lying listlessly on the seat, everyone else was still looking forward to it.
The main reason why Erpi Ya was listless was that she thought the house, which was only 180 square meters, was too small.
It's not enough for her to mess around.
Besides, her sister's room is right next door, and if she acts up again at night, she will definitely be beaten.
There is no longer a small tablet to order air-flown seafood at mealtimes, nor is there a way to open your mouth and eat a large ice-cold watermelon fed by the nanny.
What else can we look forward to these days?
Erpiwa thought he was really miserable, because at least his sister had lived in a rental house for a few years.
She has been a little princess wearing a crown worth tens of millions since she was born. How could she endure such hardship?
He beat his chest and stamped his feet but couldn't bear to hit himself.
He could only use his chubby little hands to pick at the small seat under his butt in dissatisfaction.
Chen Anan, who was sitting next to her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Er Ya, what are you doing?"
"Sister, I found a little bug. It seemed to be crawling towards you. I helped you drive it away."
Erpi Ya didn't dare to contradict her sister at all, and just told a lie that no dog would believe.
Chen Anan asked her to sit down, and Erpiya pouted and said "oh" and then sat down obediently.
It must be that the mistress fell asleep, otherwise he would have been slapped.
Don’t ask why, just ask who makes you drool when you sleep.
If an elder sister hits a younger sister, the parents won't do anything.
If they tell them that my sister hits my brother, I will cry in front of them.
Alas... I moved in anyway.
The only benefit she gained these days was to bring the little crown and little Teddy from home.
In addition, I got a large computer for my room and a large TV that can be tilted 45 degrees so that I can watch it while lying down to sleep.
There is nothing else.
She also lived in the urban village for two months. No matter how bad this small house is, it is still much better than the urban village.
At least you can see the night view of the Huangpu River at night.
A layout of four bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms and two independent balconies is a large flat that an ordinary person cannot afford even if he works hard for three lifetimes without eating or drinking.
What's there to complain about?
Before Chen Pingsheng came, he checked the two households next to his.
One family has an elderly couple whose only daughter is away from home all year round.
I adopted a child from an orphanage more than ten years ago, and he is quite obedient.
Now I am studying at university.
The old couple treated the adopted child as their own and were very kind to him.
The other household is a tenant.
There are three men and one woman, one of whom is a wealthy second-generation rich man.
They are all college classmates.
We rented here together after graduation. The rent and other expenses are mainly paid by the rich second-generation man. He seldom lives here, so the neighbors are pretty simple.
Of course, the safety of children is still very important.
Chen Pingsheng also bought four large flats in this community, all of which are occupied by security officers or bodyguards.
There are probably about fifteen or sixteen of them in total, but the big brats just don’t know about them.
Even his wife doesn't know.
In the future, they no longer need a nanny to cook for them, so the couple decided to do it themselves at home.
At least one person has to come back to cook every night, and someone has to take care of the children for two days on weekends.
This is the responsibility of parents, there is no reason to refuse.
And the most important thing is that cooking at home makes it more homely.
The vegetables and meat they eat are specially supplied by Tengnong Farming. The oil used for cooking, the nutritious milk they drink on a daily basis, and even a bottle of water are all imported from abroad.
Ordinary people may not understand this, but at their level it is very clear.
There are no standards for food safety in China. As long as the food doesn’t kill people, it’s not a big deal.
Why are more and more people suffering from cancer nowadays? Isn’t it because there is something wrong with the food they eat regularly?
There are special supplies within the system, and the rich class also only eats special supplies. The rest depends on fate.
Chen Pingsheng still admires Teacher Ma very much. He really dares to say some things.
The ingredients provided by Tengnong Breeding are basically pollution-free, pure natural vegetables that have never been sprayed with pesticides.
As for other aspects of diet, it is also the safest.
By strictly controlling the family's dietary standards, we can basically ensure that the three little ones will not get any serious illnesses from childhood to adulthood.
Even minor illnesses will be very rare.
Chen Pingsheng's own master bedroom is decorated very warmly, with separate dry and wet bathrooms, a dressing room, a shoe cabinet, etc.
Next to the big bed is a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. If you don't draw the curtains, you can see the night view of the Huangpu River.
The view from this house is the best in the entire community. He not only arranged a large number of bodyguards in this community, but also half of the security guards are from Tengying Group.
Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, strictly prohibiting the disclosure of their family's specific circumstances to outsiders.
He also specially moved two potted plants he grew from home and watered them a little every day.
Keeping it on the big balcony is just right for relaxing and cultivating one's temperament.
As soon as the family moved in, my sister-in-law Song Wu and cousin Jiang Peiyao came over together.
"Brother-in-law, are you really going to live here for the next few years?"
"That can be false."
Chen Pingsheng watered the flowers patiently, and it was actually quite interesting to watch it grow little by little every day.
"That's not necessary."
After finally moving into a big villa, Song Wu couldn't understand why he had to move to this small flat.
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "You think it's unnecessary, but I think it's very necessary."
After a pause, he explained, "It's not just to teach the child, but also to use this opportunity to suppress the endlessly growing desires in my heart."
He put the small kettle in his hand aside and poured a cup of tea for his sister-in-law and Jiang Peiyao.
"Some things are hard for you to understand. That's because you haven't reached the level your sister and I have. At our level, the resources and energy we have at our disposal are too great. Sometimes, when I see a small place, I even have a crazy idea: can I change the lives of ordinary people at will with just a palm strike?
"Once desire is unleashed, it will never end. Your sister and I have both reached a certain peak. At this point, the most important thing for us is not how much money we make, but to control our desires, that is, to control our ambitions.
"If we continue to rush forward recklessly like this, it will be very dangerous."
Perhaps he was talking to himself, reminding himself deliberately.
He knew that his sister-in-law would never understand this feeling, and only someone like Teacher Ma could understand it.
It is obvious that Teacher Ma is still charging forward.
But he chose to keep his desire.
If you don’t take two steps back once you hit the ceiling, you will be in endless trouble.
He didn't want to move all his assets overseas, but he was also reluctant to move away from the hometown where he was born and raised.
Then you must guard against your ever-expanding ambitions.
This is much more difficult than expanding everywhere.
Not surprisingly, my sister-in-law was confused by what he said.
After thinking for a long time and still unable to understand, Chen Pingsheng chose to chat with her about some family matters.
By the way, ask her how Yang Changwen treats her recently.
There was still light in Song Wu's eyes when she talked about her man. Yang Changwen has been very honest these days.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and she was taken care of in every possible way.
As for my little cousin Jiang Peiyao, she simply came to see the new living environment of my cousin's family.
She also lives in this community, so it's very convenient for her to come here.
My cousin Jiang Peiyao is not as ambitious as Yang Mi.
Unlike Zhao Liying, she does not regard acting as her lifelong goal.
She is a typical example of someone who is content with a small fortune. She can earn hundreds of millions by filming for a few months a year, and she is already very satisfied.
I never pursue being a top-tier celebrity.
The two of them didn't stay here for too long, mainly because they had just moved in and many things had not been sorted out yet.
For example, Erpi Ya, at her strong request, a large bathtub was installed in her own independent bathroom.
After filling the bath with water, she soaked in it for a while, and when she came out she said she was done with her bath.
Seeing that her hair was not wet at all, Song Yanxi grabbed her and washed it again.
The second girl was crying unhappily.
After her sister showed her what a small fist as big as a casserole looked like, the second girl immediately turned around to wash her hair.
I also casually asked her mother, "Where is the water at home?"
This little girl is taking practical action to realize her fantasy of moving back to a big villa.
Song Yanxi glared at her and said, "No way."
As for the mistress Chen Lu, he was quite obedient and went to bed and got up on time.
It’s just too troublesome to poop and pee.
Song Yanxi couldn't stand it after two nights, and she even asked Chen Pingsheng to hold him to change his diaper.
It was okay before, but now he doesn't want to do this kind of thing.
He simply bought a large flat upstairs and let his grandmother Peng Ying and maternal grandmother Liu Fen live there.
Then take the mistress Chen Lu with you.
The whole family still has to slowly adapt to this new middle-class life.
Chen Pingsheng also changed his clock and sent the two sisters to school at around seven in the morning.
I have to pick them up from school at four o'clock in the afternoon and then go home to cook.
The remaining time is either spent on handling group matters or serving as a visiting professor at a university.
I only teach a few classes a week, including classes for college students and CEOs in society.
A monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is still quite easy. Everything is about adapting in advance.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since we moved into our new home.
Chen Pingsheng even specially fried a fish from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at home to celebrate their family's happy new middle-class life.
Big fart kid cackles.
Her dad is so busy but he still takes time to spend with her every day. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
As for Erpi Ya, although the house is a little small, it will be fine after a little adaptation.
After all, it’s not a very cheap house. It’s worth at least 30 or 40 million.
How can I really not get used to it?
The mistress Chen Lu is more outrageous. She often poops and pees without giving you any hint with her expression.
Every time this happens, he would call his grandmother to come on stage.
The little guy should be one year old before this happens.
When her sister was over one year old, she basically knew how to say it in advance.
Children under one year old are the most troublesome.
"Dad, tomorrow is National Day. Do you want to go to the movies?"
"That's fine."
The group and the university were on holiday, so Chen Pingsheng still had some time these days, but he added:
"Just a reminder to you two sisters, from now on, your mother and I will only have a combined monthly income of 100,000. We still have to pay 50,000 every month for the mortgage, so the most we can spend on living expenses is 50,000. You two will have to adapt to this a little bit."
"Still need to reduce spending?"
Erpi Ya was the first one to get angry. She thought the house was just a little smaller and nothing else had changed.
Who knew that even pocket money would be cut now? What can you do with 50,000 yuan a month?
"Your protest is useless, Erya. You've truly inherited your sister's childhood willfulness. Look at your grandma's room; it's almost filled with the fake goods you bought from Pinduoduo."
The second girl started lying down again, perfectly illustrating what it means to have no desire to live.
Her sister is fine, she is no longer at the age of spending money recklessly.
They are about to be forced into the life of the middle class, but they are still using unlimited credit cards to shop and swipe their cards as they please.
How to substitute then?
"Dad, I'm just a four-year-old kid." Erpi Ya said pitifully.
"Well, actually you are only three years and four months old."
Chen Pingsheng took out his wife's heirloom computer, typed on it for a while, and then said:
"A monthly income of 100,000 yuan is already considered a high-income family, and then paying a monthly mortgage of 50,000 yuan accounts for half of the family expenses. This is indeed a bit unreasonable, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is the environment we live in.
"Your mother and I don't need to spend a lot of money each month, so let's calculate it as 15,000. Your brother won't be included in household expenses until he's one year old, which leaves 35,000. 10,000 will be used as a monthly deposit, and the remaining 25,000 is the cash you sisters can use at your discretion."
"Dad, how much do I get?"
Erpi Ya reacted quickly and she didn't even think about the problem of her pocket money falling in the sky.
As long as she can get more than her sister.
"You two split it equally. I'm warning you, don't try to ask Grandma for money, and don't even think about selling things at home. Develop the good habit of planning your spending from a young age."
Chen Pingsheng put away the ancestral computer.
He took great pains to guide the three little ones.
But what he decided will basically not change in the future.
The two sisters used to spend money recklessly and have developed absolute confidence in money.
Now it's time to plan how to spend it.
There is only so much pocket money every month, and once it’s spent, it’s gone.
For a girl of their age, more than 10,000 yuan a month is already an excellent treatment.
Do you really think it's easy to earn a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan?
That would be extremely difficult for people in urban villages and ordinary workers.
For at least the next five years, they will have to slowly adapt to this planned economy.
Perhaps only when their third child, Chen Lu, is almost one year old will their family truly look like a flawless middle-class family.
There are loopholes everywhere now.
The second girl is like a little adult. She would always put her hands behind her back and recite you a few lines from the Three Hundred Tang Poems.
According to her, it was an expression of her helpless mood.
I have to say that the second girl is definitely a genius at school, and there is a high probability that she can skip grades in elementary school.
What she couldn't understand the most was that studying was as simple as eating and shitting, so why couldn't her sister learn it?
What her sister finds most difficult to understand is that this little brat is never serious all day long and has even less time to read than I do. Why is it that she can learn things so quickly?
It’s not fair. It’s really not fair.
Chen Pingsheng was quite pleased that the two little princesses in his family were one literary and one martial.
I just wonder what Xiao San Chen Lu will be like when she grows up?
Isn’t a father’s happiness watching his children grow up day by day?
Comrade Chen expressed his satisfaction.
Just adapt to it day by day, but movies and other things will be included in the family expenses.
