Chapter 601 Return to Sand City
A thick snow fell in Shacheng.
The ground was covered with snow, but the middle of the road had been flattened by passing cars.
Only beside the road would there be some snow accumulation.
This time Chen Pingsheng did not come back alone, his parents, including his eldest sister, and many relatives all came back.
It has been a long time since he returned to his rural hometown, and the older generation still wanted to celebrate the New Year in his hometown.
Chen Pingsheng had no objection, and he did not return to the countryside but stayed in Shacheng.
Erpi Ya, who was afraid of the cold, was wrapped up like a little dumpling, but Dapi Wa was okay, and he was not too afraid of the cold when sitting in the car.
Shacheng is still a very livable place, and the housing price is only more than 10,000 and less than 20,000.
Very few places will exceed 20,000.
He did not think about what to do specifically when he came back this time, mainly to take his relatives back to his hometown to have a look.
The pressure of life in Shacheng is definitely not as good as in Shanghai, because of the housing prices, the locals here do not have a strong sense of superiority.
In a place like Shanghai, even if the locals have average jobs and average income, there are still many girls chasing after them to marry.
This is the local advantage, which is obviously not the case in Shacheng, because the houses here can be afforded by outsiders with a little effort.
This leads to a small gap between places. It can be said that the higher the housing prices in a city, the stronger the sense of local superiority.
There will even be xenophobia to some extent.
His parents and grandfather were eager to return to their rural hometown, but he did not leave and stayed in Shacheng.
Erpi Ya couldn't figure out what her father came back for. Wouldn't it be better to spend the New Year in Shanghai?
"Dad, when are we going back?"
"When your grandpa wants to go back to Shanghai."
"Oh~" When she arrived in Shacheng, she was no longer the president of the three major companies. Her father forbade her to move the three major resources to Shacheng.
She is now just an ordinary girl, and of course she doesn't want to stay too long.
Chen Anan likes Shacheng very much. Her cousin Xiao Le and Xiao Yake all grew up here.
The family went to the villa in Shacheng first. His wife was busy expanding Tongxin Family and didn't have much time this year.
At least they would stop after the expansion there was completed, and they would be free around the New Year.
The weather was extremely cold. Chen Pingsheng took his two children to the city center to eat spicy hot pot.
The spicy hot pot here is much more authentic than that in Shanghai. He hasn't eaten it for a long time.
Spicy hot pot is generally liked by young people and is deeply loved by young couples.
It is low-cost and warm.
Chen Pingsheng, who hadn't eaten these things for a long time, ate them with relish.
The phone in his pocket rang. Chang Fu asked him where he was, and he had returned to Shacheng a long time ago.
Chen Pingsheng said he was eating spicy hot pot in Kaifu, and Chang Fu drove over soon.
He drove a Range Rover in Shacheng, which was very domineering.
It complemented his middle-aged fat body.
"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 had been saying they were coming back. If it weren't for the special situation in Wu City, they would have gone home long ago."
"Well... I didn't know until I came back that the number of people shopping here is more than half less now. Many people don't go out at all."
"Normal."
Chang Fu hadn'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 that Gao Hu is back too. Does he and Xiao Chunchun have no chance?"
"No, Xiao Chunchun doesn't want to live the kind of life of fear and anxiety in the past. She just wants to find an ordinary person to live a plain life."
There is no doubt that Xiao Chunchun is looking for a man again.
Before finding a man, she called Yang Qian and asked her if this choice was right.
Yang Qian neither supported nor opposed it.
This time, Xiao Chunchun really found an ordinary person, the store manager who had been pursuing her.
His income is not high, just more than 10,000 yuan a month.
The advantage is that he is down-to-earth and hardworking, plus Xiao Chunchun has his own car and house, so he can actually live a very good life.
She really doesn't want to live in fear anymore, Gao Hu should be very disappointed now.
His children may call someone else father.
Even if they don't have to call him father, they have to live with others.
Xiao Chunchun will definitely have another child at that age, which is the consequence of just spending time on himself.
Gao Hu is destined to spend his whole life to repay the debt he owed when he was young.
In addition, the Friends has closed down again, and he is even more disappointed now.
Chang Fu also told Chen Pingsheng about the situation of some old classmates in the past, and many of them divorced in the past one or two years.
Some of them were cheated by their wives, and some of them were simply because of their poor ability to make money.
The worst one was an honest man with a good family background, and the whole family sent his wife to a very good unit.
As a result, the boss said, you don't want to lose this job?
His beautiful wife was slept with by someone else for a whole year, and he didn't find out until his wife had abnormal health.
Marrying a beautiful woman is really risky these days.
After Chang Fu came back, he would meet friends everywhere to drink, play cards and chat.
So he knew these classmates at home better. He didn't play big cards much now, mainly because it was boring.
Yang Qian's family also banned gambling, and few of his old classmates could afford to play with him.
Chen Pingsheng, who could play, didn't like playing cards.
"You have a lively life at home."
"No, if those classmates know that you are back, I'm afraid they will all come looking for you."
"Tell them, I'll be the host and treat everyone to a meal some other time."
"That's good. I'm afraid everyone will come if you treat me."
Counting the time, he hasn't had a gathering with his former classmates for several years.
I don’t know how long I will stay when I come back this time, but I can get together.
"Dad, I want to participate too!"
Erpuya hurriedly joined in the fun, she was also the one who liked to join in the fun the most in the family.
"Okay, I'll take you with me tomorrow."
In class reunions of their age, they usually take care of their children.
After all, as you get older, your main focus is your family.
If anyone is not married yet, he or she will probably have to sit at the children's table.
Not to mention, there are quite a few who are not married.
These people claim not to get married, but they are actually helpless.
The cost of getting married now is really not comparable to what it used to be. Not to mention the wedding ceremony, which costs hundreds of thousands, a house and a car.
It's impossible to do this without four or five million. If the marriage is stable, it's fine. If it's not stable and the wife runs away, divorce will be possible.
I am afraid I will be depressed for the rest of my life.
Moreover, there are more and more women cheating on bride price. There is one in the village next to them. She took more than 200,000 yuan in bride price and got divorced after living with him for three days.
You don't care if she asks for a betrothal gift, but it's nothing.
No matter how much trouble she made, she didn't give in. Later, she calmed down because her husband canceled her account directly.
The man must be punished by death. As rogue as the woman's family was at that time, they will be calm now.
The woman and her mother, who had swindled money, went to live down there together.
My brother was lucky and was not at home that day.
Otherwise, both high and low would have to be taken away together. This would be the result of forcing an honest person to a state of panic.
Is it easy for people?
When he was in his thirties, he went bankrupt and married a wife, with a bride price of hundreds of thousands, and he also bought a car and a house.
As a result, you took the bride price and ran away, not caring about anything, and didn't give it to you no matter what you asked for.
Wherever you go to sue the government, the same thing is said: Money means no life. If you want money, kill me first?
It's a prophecy. I was really taken away by a wave of anxious honest people.
This incident is the biggest event in their entire county, bar none.
It also gives a lot of warning to the bad women who want to be tempted by the bride price, including some families who hope to get rich.
