Chapter 9 New Year Arrives
Tsk… after buying the Audi in full, I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings.
This time Song Ma was really surprised. You know, Chen Pingsheng was only less than 30 years old.
Since they got married, his family has never helped at all.
At that time, he used his own money to build a big house for his family, and later he got married and had children, both of which were big expenses.
To be honest, it would be perfect for someone like him if he had a Beijing hukou.
He is young, very family-oriented, and has a stable income.
His wife and children will live with him, and although life may not be too good for them, at least they won't suffer any major injustices.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
As far as she knew the old sisters in Beijing, none of their children at his age were as steady and able to make money as he was.
But so what.
Since they have Beijing household registration, girls from other places are always rushing to get close to them.
Song Ma Liu Fen put down the chopsticks in her hand and said seriously:
"Why are you crying on New Year's Day? I'm just concerned about you. The housing prices in Beijing are getting higher and higher. If you don't buy a house soon, who knows how high it will go. By then, you won't be able to buy a house even if you want to."
Chen Pingsheng was silent. He held a glass of wine and said:
"Before July next year, I will definitely buy a house within the Third Ring Road."
"It's not enough to just say that someone can't do it. You have to show your real ability."
What Liu Fen disbelieved most were these verbal promises. Song's father was so outstanding back then, with a job in a state-owned enterprise, but he was laid off in the end.
After all this hard work, my salary is only over 10,000 yuan.
Compared with those local demolition workers in Beijing, they are far behind.
"Okay, let's all stop talking."
Song's father was also helpless. Why choose this time to talk about such nonsense during the Chinese New Year?
Every time the son-in-law comes to visit, he always brings gifts worth thousands of dollars.
After Song's father clinked glasses with Chen Pingsheng, the food tasted completely bland.
After just a few bites, without him even pulling her along, Song Yanxi wanted to take Xiao An An away.
Father Song tried to persuade them to stay, but it was useless. After they left, he sighed:
"It's a good New Year, why do you keep saying those nasty things?"
"He found it unpleasant, and I found it unpleasant too."
Liu Fen raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "My daughter is so beautiful. If she can't even afford a house in the capital if she follows him, it's better to break up as soon as possible."
"That's right. I don't want to be my brother-in-law to be a street vendor with no education and no job. It's embarrassing to tell anyone about it."
Song Wu also replied with a pout.
Father Song sighed helplessly. He couldn't change anything about the mother and daughter, so he could only take the initiative to wash the dishes.
…
Underground garage.
After getting into his car, Chen Pingsheng took out his cell phone and looked at it.
It's full of New Year messages from my family.
Mom: "Happy New Year, son. Be better outside."
Ding ding ding.
My mother sent me another red envelope with the number 888, and it still said Happy New Year on it.
Mom: "Everything is fine at home. We went to your grandfather's house for a reunion dinner this morning. They are all in good health. Don't worry about them. It's still very cold in Beijing. Remember to wear more clothes."
"Be good to yourself, you can never make enough money."
Little sister: "Brother, why didn't you come back this year? Did you buy a new car? Grandpa and grandma are very happy to know that you bought an Audi. They asked when you can come back to visit."
Dad: “It’s better outside.”
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. If there is anyone who can accompany you throughout your life, it is your mother.
It’s still warm at home. As long as you are doing well, they will never complain about you.
I really want to go back now and have a real family reunion.
It is about 40 kilometers from the Third Ring Road to Beixin'an. There are few cars during the Spring Festival, and many people go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.
There was not so much traffic jam in the city, and Song Yanxi drove all the way home smoothly.
Many people in their yard did not go home.
For example, his next-door neighbor Zhao Liying is a really hardworking girl. Even with a minor role and only a few lines, she can do her best.
There is also the young coach Zhang Tao who has not found a girlfriend.
He actually has some savings, not to mention tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which he can easily take out.
Under these conditions, it is not difficult at all to go to the countryside for a blind date.
What a pity. I spent a lot of money on dating several people but none of them worked out.
The first is that they think he is too honest and can't speak, and the second is that they think he is not decent enough.
The job is also unstable.
Now, Zhang Tao doesn't want to go back to the countryside for blind dates at all. According to him, the girls he meets for blind dates are almost all just waiting for a chance to show off their skills.
I met you in the morning and a few other people in the afternoon.
It’s the same when it comes to dating. I can make an appointment with you today, and I can make an appointment with someone else tomorrow.
Anyway, it kept dragging on like this until we finally got married.
When it comes to spending other people's money, don't spend a penny less.
"Old Chen, why are you back so early?"
"You don't know my mother-in-law's family?"
"Haha!" Zhang Tao laughed, then patted him on the shoulder and cursed, "That's just an old witch who looks down on us outsiders. What right does she have to look down on us? Isn't it just that we were born in a good place?"
"Don't mention her, let's just set up a table at home and celebrate the New Year happily."
Chen Pingsheng invited him to his home, where he wanted to set up a table and invite his next-door neighbor Zhao Liying over as well.
Just a few of them.
The whole family worked together, and Zhao Liying also put down the script in her hand to help, and soon a large table was prepared.
Four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, plus two large bottles of Sprite.
A small number of people is better because they are harmonious.
Chen Pingsheng was the first to stand up, holding a drink cup.
"2012 is coming to an end and 2013 is about to begin. I wish Comrade Xiaoying from our institute can fulfill her wish and become the leading actress next year, and have a prosperous future from now on."
Zhao Liying almost laughed to tears. She stood up and drank it all in one gulp, and then took a small burp in a very ungraceful manner.
"I wish our comrade Zhang Tao good luck in the coming year, and hope he finds a wife soon and lives a happy and fulfilling life."
"Tsk... whichever one doesn't open it, then mention it."
Zhang Tao stood up and pulled him along: "Brother, I also wish you good fortune in the coming year and hope you can buy a big house soon."
"Yes, I also wish Brother Chen great wealth in 2013 and that he can buy a big villa."
Zhao Liying drank another large cup, but Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "You're exaggerating. I can't even dream of buying a big villa in Beijing. If I can buy a 200-square-meter one, then my life will not be in vain."
Zhang Tao: "Old Chen, this is boring. Teacher Ma is right. People still need to have dreams. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and Xianyu?"
For 2012, all the internet was filled with Mr. Ma’s quotes.
Don’t look down on those who set up stalls. They also regard Teacher Ma as their entrepreneurial idol.
Chen Pingsheng has watched almost all of his video speeches several times.
"Yes, I want to buy a big villa."
These words were said somewhat stubbornly, as if she was talking to him, but Chen Pingsheng knew that it was Zhao Liying who was talking to him.
She just wants to be the protagonist.
Life, the days pass slowly.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but at least today everyone had a happy new year.
In the afternoon, Michelle Song drove everyone to Sanlitun. Many places were closed, except for the shopping malls.
On the last day of 12 years, he also has to buy some New Year gifts for his wife and daughter.
Song Yanxi's hands were bare, so Chen Pingsheng bought her a Longines elegant quartz watch with a white strap and blue dial.
The price is twelve thousand eighty.
Song Yanxi also bought him a Longines sports watch with a white steel strap.
The price is 17,000.
This time, neither of them mentioned saving money. This kind of watch can be worn for a lifetime.
It is also a common witness of the two people staying together.
Zhao Liying looked at it for a long time, wanting to buy it but couldn't bear to spend the money. No one would think of it now.
Now, this somewhat rustic extra girl will eventually become its global spokesperson for elegance.
I can only say that life is full of surprises.
Later, Chen Pingsheng bought Xiao Anan the little iPad she had always dreamed of.
I bought myself a laptop for over 4,000 yuan.
He wants to use this to look up information at home.
When it comes to clothes, Michelle Song said she would never buy anything expensive.
This trip cost me more than 40,000 yuan in total.
We work hard all year round just to be able to spend freely during the New Year holidays.
