To be honest, Chen Pingsheng himself admitted that he was a bit impulsive.
However, there was a reason for everything. In the past few years, every time he went to his mother-in-law's house, because of his undignified job, Song Yanxi was also treated with cold eyes.
It was only two days until the New Year. He just wanted to buy a good car for his Wife so that everyone could see.
He, Chen Pingsheng, was definitely someone who could be entrusted with a lifetime.
As for the rest, they could discuss it later.
Song Yanxi had gotten her driver's license a long time ago, but she rarely drove. She wasn't very skilled and drove at a snail's pace of thirty miles per hour on the road.
Xiao Anan was even more excited than she was, her little butt wiggling non-stop in the back. Her almost-fallen front teeth were also smiling non-stop at this moment.
She kept asking her Dad questions, such as what this was for, what that was for.
Could they watch cartoons in the big car, etc.
This must be arranged. He planned to buy her a small iPad after the New Year.
"Husband, how do you have hundreds of thousands again?"
After adapting a little, her mind was not so nervous, and Song Yanxi asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Of course, I earned it by selling durian."
Chen Pingsheng said, "You don't know, less than a day after I used 190,000 to stock up, it snowed heavily outside, and durian couldn't get in, so the price naturally soared. I took this opportunity to earn a little more."
Song Yanxi didn't doubt it. She was naturally happy that her Husband could make money.
"You used all the money to buy a car, what about the house?"
"Don't worry about this for now. Anan won't start first grade until after June next year."
Chen Pingsheng held Xiao Anan and said, "I was thinking since we're going to buy a house, let's buy a bigger one. When my income is a little more stable next year, we can have another one."
Still want to have another child?
Song Yanxi had no objection to this. If the family had the means, one child was indeed too few.
She didn't dare to think about this before, but now she could consider it more.
When they got home, his childhood friend Shaoshuai even specially bought a string of large firecrackers.
Then he tied a red ribbon to the new car, and the firecrackers crackled non-stop.
Of course, red envelopes were also indispensable.
If this were in the countryside, any family who bought an Audi A4L in full would definitely be big news.
But in Beijing, it was nothing.
Chen Pingsheng planned to solve the housing problem in another three months. Once the New Year passed, durian wouldn't be so easy to sell.
He also had to think more about other sources of income.
...
The day before the New Year.
Song Wu was still busy with class reunions.
She was only two years younger than Song Yanxi. Her Sister had grown up with their Grandpa and Grandma since she was little, but she was different.
She was brought back to Beijing when she was in junior high school.
Having lived with her parents in Beijing for a long time, she naturally became arrogant.
Speaking of which, her family could at most be considered middle class in Beijing.
Her Mother was a genuine Beijing native, but her Father was not.
With the support of the older generation, her parents settled down in Beijing.
The house was not big, a total of 120 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room.
If the common area was deducted, it would be at most about 100 square meters.
The reason Song Wu looked down on her Sister's husband, who was from out of town, was mainly due to the inherent sense of superiority that Beijing people developed.
In their eyes, people from out of town were born inferior.
Moreover, her Sister's husband's profession was simply embarrassing to talk about. If she became a big star in the future and others knew that her Sister's husband sold durian on the street, it would be like smearing dirt on her face.
That's why she kept wanting her Sister to divorce him.
"Oh... Xiao Wu, quickly look at your Sister's moments."
"What's there to see in her moments? It's either showing off her Husband or showing off Xiao Anan."
Song Wu felt that her Sister had completely developed these rustic habits from living in the countryside for too long.
Completely unlike her.
She showed off either high-end restaurants or afternoon tea.
"Your Sister bought a car."
Song Pa actually liked Chen Pingsheng very much, but unfortunately, his opinion was completely unimportant in this family.
The family status was controlled by Song Ma, who had a Beijing household registration.
"What car could she buy?"
Song Wu didn't care, but when she clicked on it, it was the little Audi she liked.
She sat up with a snap.
"Strange, could this be a photo of someone else's car that Sister took?"
"Do you think your Sister is like you?"
Song Pa said irritably, "Pingsheng is so diligent, he's already saved enough money to buy a car. What's so strange about buying an Audi A4 like this now?"
"Then he must have also paid a two or three-percent down payment."
Song Wu didn't care. Too many of her classmates drove luxury cars, and a small Audi A4 wasn't enough to make her envious.
When she became a big star, she could casually buy several small Audis by filming a single scene.
"Your Sister is coming home soon. Put away your little airs and be polite to your Sister's husband. Their life is not easy."
Song Pa advised her kindly.
Song Wu pouted and didn't listen at all. Someone who sold durian on the street really couldn't earn her respect.
The key was that it was embarrassing to talk about, she could hardly bring herself to say it.
The family prepared the tableware and the dishes for the New Year, and on the next day, they would welcome the New Year together happily.
This time, Chen Pingsheng brought a lot of gifts, two red BJ cigarettes, a pair of Feitian moutai wine.
Plus two large durian, he came with his family at eight o'clock in the morning.
Song Pa had already prepared a table full of reunion dinner.
"Chen Pingsheng, why did you bring so many gifts again?"
The two families were not far from each other, but because his Sister-in-law and Song Ma never looked at him directly, Chen Pingsheng never visited except during the New Year and festivals.
Only Song Pa truly treated him as a son-in-law who lived with the family.
"They are just small gifts, not worth much."
He was not a man of many words and wouldn't say too many polite phrases.
Song Pa motioned for him to sit next to him, while Song Ma rolled her eyes from the moment he entered.
She pulled her daughter aside to chat.
"Sister, I heard you bought a car, how much was the down payment?"
When Song Wu was little, she was taken care of by her Sister in the countryside, but her personality changed after she came to Beijing.
"What down payment? Your Husband bought it in full."
No matter when or where, Song Yanxi would speak up for her man.
Song Wu frowned slightly, completely disbelieving, "He can buy an Audi in full?"
"What's so strange about that? Your Husband's income is not low."
If it weren't for the New Year, Song Wu would definitely say, according to her temper, that he wasn't her Sister's husband.
She had never acknowledged this person in her heart.
"Daughter, you didn't lie to Mom, did you? He really bought it for you in full?"
The difference between buying in full and in installments was too great, Song Ma couldn't help but confirm.
"My Mom didn't lie, Dad bought it in full."
Xiao Anan pouted her little mouth and replied. Although she was not old, she also knew to speak up for her Dad.
Song Ma snorted lightly, "After following him for so many years, he finally did something decent. But now you've used all the money to buy a car, what about the house? You can't keep renting in Beijing, can you?"
"Of course not."
Song Yanxi didn't like going home mainly because her Sister and Song Ma were too unfriendly to Chen Pingsheng.
No matter what he did, they still looked down on him.
This time, she simply laid it all out, "Mom, I know you've always looked down on Pingsheng, but you've also seen him since he came to Beijing all these years. Has he ever been lazy? Never, right?"
"At his age, not relying on parents outside, and still having to support a family and daughter, buy a house and a car, that's already very difficult."
"Now that he has bought me a car, you still look at him with colored glasses. Aren't you just worried that he can't afford a house in Beijing? Even if we can only rent, our life won't be too bad, right? At least your daughter's card still has hundreds of thousands in savings."
"This is all earned by Pingsheng risking his life outside. What else do you want from him?"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again.
It was nothing else, just feeling wronged, the wrong of not being understood by her family.
"Mommy, don't cry."
Xiao Anan, being very obedient, immediately handed her a tissue.
