"Child, we have to save money. You will need money to get married, build a house, and have children. If we really spend as you say, how can our family afford it?"
This money is hard-earned, and not a single cent can be wasted.
Chen Ming sighed and said, "You really don't need to be too frugal. My cousin and I have started a profitable project and can earn a lot of money. Don't bother with those plots of land in the future. Even if you work yourself to death, you won't be able to make even a fraction of the money our project makes in a year."
The couple was stunned after hearing this. The father asked in surprise, "Really?"
It's only been two days since you met Zhang Bufan, and you've decided to make money together
Both of them were a little confused.
Chen Ming nodded heavily and said, "It's true."
Wang Yan and Chen Gensheng looked at each other in surprise, but they did not disbelieve it.
After all, Zhang Bufan had explained before that Chen Ming would be able to make a lot of money after graduating with a Ph.D.
But they didn't expect that Chen Ming would succeed so quickly.
Wang Yan subconsciously asked, "How much is it per month?"
Chen Ming was afraid of scaring them, so he squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "Not much, 50,000 a month."
After all, they are two native rural people and may have never seen a hundred thousand dollars in their lives.
If I tell them that my project is worth hundreds of millions, the two old people will probably be scared out of their wits.
However, even though Chen Ming downplayed the situation, Wang Yan and Chen Gensheng were still shocked.
Wang Yan covered her mouth in astonishment and said in amazement: "So many?!"
Fifty thousand a month, that’s six hundred thousand a year.
This is even more than what Zhang Bufan had earned before.
The two men's eyes were filled with shock. What they normally earned in two years was enough in one month.
Chen Ming nodded and said, "So you can enjoy your old age in peace. You have worked hard for most of your life. Enjoy yourself. Eat whatever you want and wear whatever you want. Don't feel bad about spending money. We will have more and more money in the future."
Sometimes Chen Ming is worried about his parents at home because they don’t listen to advice.
I have to live a miserable life. I have money in my pocket, but I just save it. I feel it is a sin to spend a penny.
Chen Ming was eating while looking at the house and said, "When the time comes, we'll renovate this house as well. You guys can figure it out by yourselves, whether to make it higher or wider, that's up to you to decide."
Now this flat actually has only three parts: two rooms on the left and right sides, a hall in the middle, and a stove next to the hall.
Although it is definitely enough for living, it is far from enough for comfort.
Moreover, the whole house is still unfinished, so it is really not beautiful.
Chen Ming continued, "I will talk to my cousin and let him do it. I won't be at home for long, so he will come to visit you often and talk to you."
After Chen Ming finished speaking, his parents' eyes were filled with shock and their breathing couldn't help but become heavier. They felt like they were dreaming.
Is this true? Is my family really going to get rich?!
The two remained in a shocked posture for nearly two minutes before they came to their senses.
They looked at each other, and then looked at Chen Ming together.
Chen Gensheng smiled and said, "Kid, you have made great progress!"
Not only did he become an officer, but he also made the entire Chen family proud.
Now they can make a lot of money for the family, so they are naturally excited.
Wang Yan picked up another chicken leg and gave it to Chen Ming, saying with a smile: "Eat more, there will be nothing to eat when you get to the army.
Chen Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What did his mother think of the army? It wasn't a miserable place with nothing. At least they could have a supply of chicken legs every day.
Wang Yan and Chen Gensheng are not pedantic people. Now that their son has become successful and can make money, they will definitely be happy and relieved.
They also knew that if they became ill from working in the fields all year round, their son would worry.
At that time, they will have to be sent to a big hospital for treatment, which costs a lot of money. They heard that many people have lost their fortunes on treatment.
They had no choice before because Chen Ming was not old enough to earn money.
Being soldiers they probably didn't have much money, so they lived frugally and worked diligently on the farm.
The purpose is to save some money so that Chen Ming can have enough money to marry a wife in the future.
But now Chen Ming is capable, they don't need to worry about him anymore, so they naturally don't need to work too hard. 0 ... .
I’m afraid that one day I’ll be too exhausted to fall ill, and Chen Ming will be the one who gets dragged down.
The three of them continued to eat and chat, and the dinner lasted more than an hour.
After dinner, we cleaned up all the dishes and gathered around the brazier to chat.
Mother set up a pot rack over the brazier and began to boil bath water in a large pot.
In families without water heaters, this is the only way to take a bath in winter. You have to wait for the water to heat up before you can get water to take a bath, which is very troublesome.
Looking at the water on the pot rack, Chen Ming couldn't help but think that he would have to connect a natural gas pipeline and install a water heater by then.
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to take a bath in winter.
As the water in the pot began to heat up and reached the appropriate temperature, Chen Ming took the bucket, filled it with water, and carried it into the toilet.
Father Chen Gensheng then poured a bucket of cold water into the pot and continued to boil it.
After taking a shower, Chen Ming ran into the room wearing only a vest and shorts.
Wang Yan couldn't help but yelled, "Wear more clothes. It's cold. Don't catch a cold."
After Chen Ming nodded, he closed the door, pulled the quilt on the bed onto the chair in front of the desk, sat on the chair, and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt.
He turned on his computer and logged into QQ and WeChat.
On QQ, both Zhao Bing and Zhao Fei sent messages and pictures.
Both of them like to share their own things with Chen Ming.
The scene in the picture sent by Zhao Fei should be in a high-end restaurant.
In addition to the various sumptuous dishes on the table, the picture also shows a middle-aged man wearing a suit with only the lower half of his face exposed.
Zhao Fei wrote under the picture: "My dad and I's New Year's Eve dinner!"
Chen Ming looked at the ingredients in the photo and couldn't help but sigh, what a wealthy family.
Chen Ming had only eaten many of the ingredients on the table at the special forces’ Category 4 stoves. In one word, they were expensive!
With a chuckle, Chen Ming made a fist-raising expression and said, "Happy New Year."
Then he opened Zhao Bing's chat box.
They are indeed brothers, and they are so in tune with each other. The photos I shared with him are all pictures of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In the photo, Zhao Bing's mother prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Chen Ming looked at the two pictures and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
The pictures of both of them are very dazzling, and you can tell at a glance that they are definitely from wealthy families.
But looking at these two photos, who would have thought that they were from the same family
They are brothers, but they don't spend the New Year together. Compared with them, Chen Ming feels that although his family is poor, it is still quite happy.
Chen Ming also sent a message to Zhao Bing wishing him a Happy New Year and then switched to WeChat.
Each chat group has unread messages.
Chen Ming first opened the group of comrades in the recruit company.
At this time, He Dong, Yu Jun, and He Xue were chatting excitedly, each of them talking about the battle preparation training.
As the end of the year approaches, they in these regular units are all busy conducting combat readiness drills.
Fortunately, we had a day off for the Little New Year, but when we thought about starting preparations tomorrow and continuing until New Year’s Eve, everyone felt exhausted.
Although they are all second-year veterans, this kind of combat readiness training still makes people feel exhausted.
Chen Ming went up to them, said hello and chatted with them for a while.
After knowing that Chen Ming had returned home, everyone was extremely envious. After all, they were all from Hongrao County and missed home.
After chatting for a while, Chen Ming came to the comrades group of the Information Department again.
The group of comrades in the Information Department was obviously much more lively that day.
Xiong Dahe, Lin Guang and Chang Heng all took leave to go home for the New Year and posted photos of their family’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Xiong Dahe also posted a group photo of him and a group of relatives and brothers from Northeast China.
In the photo, everyone is holding a glass filled with white wine.
After posting the picture, he said, "In our area, men cannot drink more than two kilograms of liquor, otherwise they are not worthy of being at the table! Even if he sits at the same table with a dog, the dog will complain that he doesn't drink enough!"
However, after saying this, he never replied again, and he must have been unconscious at this time.
Chen Ming secretly admired him for this. Before he fainted, he was able to stay awake and upload the photos to his computer. He only fainted after sharing them.
This kind of cultivation is something Chen Ming cannot learn.
After all, you can’t get drunk, so how can you learn
