"Ah? I haven't seen my parents for so long. I've been to your house several times. I have to reciprocate. Of course, this is what your dear Aunt Tan asked me to convey to you."

Tan Yan tilted his head and looked at Chen Chao with a sweet smile.

"Oh, okay, I'll come." There was no room for him to refuse now, after all, Tan Yan had already moved out of her mother's home.

"I'm leaving first." He opened the door.

"Well, bye." She turned around again, probably preparing to go back to the room.

The door closed, and Tan Yan inside the room took a deep breath, and finally he was almost at home.

I originally thought I would go home in time for lunch, but Father Chen actually said that the whole family would go out to have a meal with Tan Yan's family at noon.

Chen Chao was dumbfounded. Tan Yan never told him.

Yin Yuan and Chen Chao got into Chen Wei's car and the family drove to their destination. Lu Bai was left in the parking lot at the entrance of the community.

"Chen Chao, save some time and go take the driver's license test." Father Chen, who has always been calm and unhurried, said,

"Take the driver's license test? I don't have a car. Isn't it urgent?" But when he thought about how troublesome it would be when he couldn't drive for him, Chen Chao shut up again. In fact, his father never asked much about the fact that he didn't have a driver's license.

.

"Not having a car is a small problem. It has been so long since you graduated from college and you have been involved in society. You still need to have some necessary things in your hands. No matter how skilled you are in driving, only that certificate can prove your

Legal status."

"How about our family buy a new car, and dad can drive this old car for you."

Yin Yuan, the co-pilot's mother, Chen Wei, glanced at Chen Wei, her eyes thoughtful. Chen Wei felt a hint of coldness, glanced at Yin Yuan guiltily, and found that she was staring at him and then looked away.

Chen Chao was a little embarrassed. Dad, if you want to change a car, just say so. It’s not too connotative. Do we really have that much money to buy a car? Are we still paying off the mortgage?

"Well...it's better not to use it. I want to buy a car I like on my own. This business in the community will make a lot of money then."

"Why, I don't like Dabai who has been with our family for seven years. The relationship won't fade away, right?" Father Chen patted the steering wheel, and the car honked a few times.

It has also protected the family from wind and rain for several years. Dabai thought to himself as he touched the white beard on his front fender.

"Well, our family's economy isn't very good. I'm also thinking about my family."

After saying that, Chen Chao added in his heart, "I can't let you get what you want."

Father Chen stopped at a red light, pulled the handbrake, and looked back with a strange expression.

"Chen Chao,"

"Huh?" He raised his head and looked at the couple who turned around.

"Our family is actually quite financially well-off. Buying a car is just a trivial matter," Chen Wei added, fearing that his son wouldn't believe it, "Really, if you want to change your car, we'll pick it up right now."

"Ah?" Chen Chao glanced at his biological mother.

Yin Yuan also nodded, "You didn't know about it today, did you?" Her eyes seemed to look at her son with sympathy.

"Ah?" He was shocked. Wasn't he kidding? He had been alive for almost twenty-five years. This seemed to be the first time. The first time he learned from his parents that his family didn't seem to be so...poor?

"What's the number of our family's savings? It's just a general idea, don't be too clear." Chen Chao asked.

"Seven digits." Chen Wei said it without hesitation.

"Ah, a family with millions in savings."

He sighed quietly.

Living in Lizhou is quite comfortable.

So how did my breakfast cost one yuan in elementary school and two yuan in junior high school?

The steamed buns in elementary school only cost 50 cents each, and he had to obediently share the 50 cents to buy snacks for Tan Yan.

What's wrong with this world?

My name is Chen Chao. I have known that my family's finances have been very tight since I was a child, so I have always lived frugally. After I went to college, I worked on my own to support my family.

I have had low self-esteem and been cautious since I was a child, so when I grew up, my biggest dream was to make a lot of money, so I started a company as a partner as soon as I graduated from college. However, I was cheated and lost all my money in the end, but I still persisted in my ideals.

That's making a lot of money.

Until today, I discovered a terrible truth, that is, my family's financial situation is actually quite good, and the poverty of my family for twenty-five years was all a figment of my own imagination as my son.

Then why have I always been cautious in doing things since I was a child? It’s because I don’t have moderate financial support, so everything seems to be limited.

That is, I am humble, timid, and afraid of spending money when I go out to play. Therefore, I gradually became like a person with no sense of existence in junior high school, high school, and college, with few friends and no social interaction.

This simple conversation seemed to break the values ​​Chen Chao had built up since childhood.

"ah……"

He sighed quietly again and lay weakly on the back seat, feeling a little aggrieved.

I felt that my son seemed to have been hit hard and was in a very bad state.

Chen Wei and Yin Yuan looked at each other, a little worried.

Yin Yuan turned to look at his son guiltily,

"Zai, I thought you knew the situation of our family."

"I don't know. Our family has been saving water and electricity since I was a child. Little did I know that our family is actually not poor. When I was in school, I would save money on meals for fear of spending too much money." Chen Chao said, covering his face.

"If you don't have any money, you can ask for it from mom." Yin Yuan looked at Chen Chao distressedly. No wonder he had never asked for money from him since he was a child. He turned out to be too sensible.

She reached over and gently rubbed her son's head and sighed.

"..."

"Otherwise, how would our family be able to afford a house in Kaifeng Mingcheng, with a house and a car, haha." Chen Wei laughed heartlessly.

"Didn't I buy it with a loan? Isn't it still paying off the mortgage?" Chen Chao still asked quietly.

"Chen Chao, even if you have money, you can't buy it in full. There are also benefits of taking out a loan. The money saved can be used to generate more money in many ways, and it can also be used as a hedge. Then the mortgage will be paid off slowly, and the money will be nothing.

You see how much the value has depreciated over the years. In just ten years, domestic prices have soared."

"The loan is definitely earned." Dad Chen explained patiently while driving.

"I know, Dad, I don't read books in vain."

"Hey, forget it." Chen Chao sat up again, what's wrong with being more frugal? Anyway, so many years have passed, and he has actually long been accustomed to being more frugal.

"Cub?"

"It's okay." He wiped his eyes. It was really embarrassing for him to cry inexplicably at such an old age. He was obviously an adult already.

Since you can't change it anymore, just go with the flow. Everything is moving forward.
