There was a heavy snowfall in Shacheng.
The ground was covered with snow, but the middle of the road had been flattened by passing cars.
Only along the road will there be some accumulation of snow.
This time, Chen Pingsheng didn’t come back alone. His parents, eldest sister, and many relatives all came back.
It has been a long time since I returned to my hometown in the countryside, and the older generation still really wants to celebrate the New Year there.
Chen Pingsheng had no objection. He did not return to the countryside but stayed in Shacheng.
The cold-fearing Erpi Ya was wrapped up like a little dumpling, but the big kid was fine and was not too afraid of the cold while sitting in the car.
Shacheng is a very livable place, and the current housing prices are only over 10,000 and less than 20,000.
Very few places exceed 20,000.
He hadn't thought about what to do specifically this time, he just wanted to take his relatives back to his hometown to visit.
The pressure of life in Shacheng is definitely not as great as in Shanghai. Because of the housing prices, the locals here don’t have a strong sense of superiority.
In a place like Shanghai, any local man, even if he has an average job and an average income, will have a lot of girls chasing after him and wanting to marry him.
This is the local advantage. Shacheng is obviously not like this because outsiders can afford the houses here with a little effort.
This results in little difference between regions. It can be said that the higher the housing prices in a city, the stronger the sense of local superiority.
There may even be some xenophobia to some extent.
His parents and grandfather were anxious to return to their hometown in the countryside, but he didn't leave and stayed in Shacheng.
Erpi Ya doesn't understand why her father came back. Wouldn't it be better to spend the New Year in Shanghai?
"Dad, when are we going back?"
"When your grandfather wants to return to the Magic City."
"Oh~" When she arrived in Sand City, she was no longer the president of the three major companies. Her father forbade her to move the three major resources to Sand City.
She is just an ordinary girl now, and of course she doesn't want to stay for too long.
Chen Anan, on the other hand, quite likes Shacheng. Her cousin Xiao Le and Xiao Yake both grew up here.
The family went to the Sand City Villa first. His wife was busy expanding the Tongxin family and didn’t have much time this year.
We will not stop until at least the expansion over there is completed, and we will be free around the Chinese New Year.
The weather is extremely cold. Chen Pingsheng took his two little ones to the city center to eat spicy hot pot.
The spicy hot pot here is much more authentic than the one in Shanghai. He hasn't eaten it in a long time.
Malatang is generally a favorite of young people and is very popular among young couples.
Low consumption and warm.
Chen Pingsheng, who hadn't eaten these things for a long time, ate them with gusto.
The phone in his pocket rang. Chang Fu asked him where he was, but he had already returned to Shacheng.
Chen Pingsheng said he wanted to eat spicy hot pot in Kaifu, and Changfu drove over soon.
He was driving a Land Rover Range Rover in Shacheng, which was very domineering.
It complements his middle-aged and plump figure.
"Old Chen, are you planning to spend the New Year in your hometown this year?"
"I don't know yet. It depends on my parents. They've been saying they're coming back. If it weren't for the special situation in Wu City, they would have gone home long ago."
"Hmm... I just realized after I came back that the number of people shopping here is more than half gone. Many people rarely go out at all."
"normal."
Chang Fu hasn't been home for a long time. This year, Yang Qian came back with him, and the house was quite lively.
Chen Pingsheng said, "I heard Gao Hu is back too. Does that mean he and Xiao Chunchun have no chance?"
"No, Xiao Chunchu no longer wants to live in fear like before. She just wants to find an ordinary person and live a simple life."
There is no doubt that Xiao Danchun is looking for a new man.
Before looking for her, I called Yang Qian and asked her if this choice was right.
Yang Qian neither supported nor opposed it.
This time, Xiao Danchun really found an ordinary person, the store manager who had been pursuing her.
His income is not high, just over 10,000 yuan a month.
His advantage lies in his hard work and dedication. Xiao Danchun also owns a car and a house, so he can actually live a very good life.
She really doesn't want to live in fear anymore. Gao Hu must be very disappointed now.
His children may have to call someone else dad.
Even if I don't have to call him father, I still have to live with him.
At Xiao Danchun's age, he would definitely have another child. This is the consequence of wasting time only caring about himself.
Gao Hu is destined to spend his whole life repaying the debt he owed in his youth.
With Friends closing down again, he feels even more lost.
Chang Fu also told Chen Pingsheng about the situation of some of his old classmates, many of whom had divorced in the past one or two years.
Some are cheated on by their wives, while others are simply cheated because of their lack of earning ability.
The worst-off one was a man of good character and from a well-off family. He put all his family's resources into sending his wife to a very good job.
As a result, my boss said, "You don't want to lose this job, do you?"
His beautiful wife had been slept with by someone else for a whole year, and he only discovered it when his wife showed any health problems.
These days, marrying a beautiful woman is extremely risky.
After Chang Fu came back, he gathered friends everywhere to drink, play cards and chat.
So he is quite familiar with these classmates at home. He doesn't play big cards very often now, mainly because it's not interesting.
Yang Qian's family also strictly forbade gambling, and few of his old classmates could afford to play with him.
Chen Pingsheng, who is good at playing, doesn't like playing cards.
"You're having a lively time at home."
"Of course not. If those classmates knew you were back, they would probably come looking for you."
"Tell them about it. I'll treat everyone to a meal together someday."
"That's great, I'm afraid everyone will come if you invite them."
It has been several years since he last met up with his former classmates.
I don’t know how long I will stay this time, but we can get together.
"Dad, I want to join in too!"
Erpi Ya hurried to join in the fun, she was also the one who loved to join in the fun the most in the family.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
When classmates of their age gather together, they usually bring their children.
After all, when you get older, family comes first.
If you are still unmarried, you can probably only sit at the children's table.
You know what, there are quite a few people who are not married.
These people say they don't want to get married and live a free and easy life on their own, but in fact they are helpless.
The cost of getting married nowadays is really incomparable to before. Not to mention the betrothal gift alone which costs hundreds of thousands, but also a house and a car.
This cannot be done without 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. If the marriage is stable, it's fine. If it is not stable, the wife will run away and then there will be divorce.
I'm afraid I'll be depressed for the rest of my life.
Moreover, there are more and more women who cheat on dowries. There is one in the village next to them. She took more than 200,000 yuan in dowry and wanted a divorce after living with the woman for three days.
You ask her for a dowry, but she won't give you a penny.
No matter how much she made a fuss, she refused to give it to me. Later, she stopped paying because the man cancelled her account.
The man will definitely be sentenced to death. The woman's family is as peaceful now as they were back then.
The woman and her mother, who had cheated her out of money, went to live down there together.
My brother was lucky, he was not at home that day.
Otherwise, both the high and the low will be taken away together. This is the result of pushing an honest person into a corner.
Is it easy for others?
In his thirties, he spent all his money to marry a wife, with a dowry of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and also bought a car and a house.
As a result, you took the betrothal gift and ran away, not caring about anything else and refusing to give it no matter how much you asked.
No matter where you go to complain to the authorities, they always say the same thing: money is more important than life. If you want money, you have to kill me first?
What I said came true. The honest people who were forced into a corner were taken away in a wave.
This is the biggest event in their entire county, no doubt about it.
It also serves as a reminder to those bad women who want to get the bride price, including some families who hope to get rich from it.
