Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ma Family
Grandma Lu's husband died a long time ago, and she now lives with her eldest son, Ma Donglai. The second daughter, Qiulai, and her husband are still in the United States, but the grandchildren and granddaughters returned to China to go to school two years ago and also live in the eldest son's family. The youngest son tosses around outside by himself and doesn't live here.
The Ma family was engaged in foreign trade when they were in the United States, and the main counterpart country was China, which made a lot of money in the early days of reform and opening up, but with the increasing domestic production technology, business became more and more difficult to do. At the end of the 90s, Ma Dong, the current head of the Ma family, took a fancy to the domestic real estate business and resolutely decided to return to China to develop real estate that he had never set foot in.
At that time, Mr. Ma was no longer there, and Mrs. Lu was a spoiler of the child, and what her son said was what. Ma Donglai ended his business in the United States and returned to China with all his family property to develop.
It can be regarded as his courage and luck. Catching up with the good times, it really made him successful. Now there is also a place for the Ma family in the domestic real estate industry.
But it's still far from being dominant. After all, this is the capital, and the water is deep! In the first few years, the rules were not perfect, and the biggest rule was relationships. It's a matter of one sentence, it doesn't matter, no matter how much money you have, it's useless!
And his relationship is only money, but the relationship dredged with money is the most unreliable. He can occupy a place now, and there is nothing left that was not divided by others at the beginning, in the final analysis, he still has the ability and skill!
The community where the Ma family now lives is developed by themselves, in the north of the capital, near the Olympic Village. I bought the land a long time ago, when it was very cheap, and now it has more than tripled. This can see Ma Donglai's vision.
The community is a specialized villa community, all of which are independent and detached. Referring to the design of a foreign country, there is a lot of space between rooms! This is very rare in the villas in the capital, and now most of the villas in the capital are one by one, although they are detached, but they can't wait for all the houses to be connected together! A neighbor's sneeze can be heard really.
In this community of the Ma family, the house space is large, there are green belts between the houses, roads, and trees, and if you want to greet your neighbors at home, you have to shout hard, and people may not be able to hear clearly.
Great attention is paid to the protection of the owner's **. So it's very sought after, and now every house is sky-high. This community is also a landmark of the Ma family.
Changsheng walks in a wooded, well-laid out community. Some sighed, such a small house, she would definitely not be able to look down on it in her previous life! In this life, she is very envious, better than the pigeon cage she lives in now!
Thinking about her last life, the palace was 3,000, accounting for most of the capital! Not to mention their own residence, even the maids and servants who have a good face live in a bigger villa than this villa! The lake in the back garden is a hundred times larger than the entire community!
Forget it, don't think about it. The old country is unbearable to look back at the bright moon~~~~
It's also strange to say. The grievances and hatreds that she had been thinking about in her previous life have now dissipated with the wind, and those diets and daily lives that she never paid attention to always linger in her heart and feel a little nostalgic. Is this the difficulty of making money from luxury?
Changsheng began to worry again, she also wanted to live in such a villa. I didn't dare to think about it like in my previous life, and I heard that the national leaders here also lived in such a big house. It's simple!
But I heard that such a big house is hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions! She doesn't have a penny now! There is no way to get money!
"Ah Hua!" Just when Changsheng was entangled, he heard the voice of someone calling grandma in the distance, Grandma Lu.
Changsheng looked up, okay! It's really grand, this is a family that came out to pick it up? Eight people, one old, three old and four young.
Come to think of it, the man who is about forty years old, with good facial features, and looks mature and steady is Ma Dong, and the beauty next to him is his daughter-in-law, I heard that she is also forty years old, and she looks really young, like about thirty years old.
Everyone was at the door for a while, and entered the room to make a formal introduction.
Adults don't need to be introduced, Ma Donglai and his daughter-in-law Li Xiaoying, and Grandma Chen attended their wedding when they were in the United States. Mainly to introduce children.
"This is Ma Xue, who is eleven years old this year and is in the sixth grade of primary school." Changsheng looked, well, a little Zhengtai! is polite, very gentlemanly at a young age, and seems to be well-educated.
"This is Ma Shan, who is eight years old this year, the same age as Changsheng, and is in the third grade." Changsheng looked at the little Lori in front of him, and he couldn't bear it. This is the name of the best! Don't you know that Ma Shan is being ridden! Still a girl
I heard my grandmother say that your family's Chinese is not authentic, and the idiom will not be used! But you can't be like this without culture! Sure enough, Yu Guang saw that his grandmother's expression also froze.
"This is Ling Ling, fifteen years old, in his first year of high school. You hugged it when you were a kid! "A young man, who looked outside the door just now, was very tall, almost 1.8 meters, very handsome, but he was wearing a tight leather coat, ten earrings on his ears, and a skull ring on his hand. In Grandma's words, this is a bad teenager. But Changsheng's eyes were clear when he looked at him. It seems that he is just young and fun-loving, and he is not bad.
"This is Ling Xue, twelve years old. The first year of junior high school. "This is a little beauty, dressed in a snow-white princess dress, princess head, white ribbon, dressed like Snow White. If her expression wasn't so cold, it would be cuter to change to Ma Shan's coquettishness.
After introducing each other, Changsheng followed the children to move to the upstairs playroom.
"Changsheng, let's play Warcraft, okay?" The boss Ling Ling is in charge of hospitality.
"No, it won't." Haven't heard of it.
"What about Maple Valley?"
"No, it won't."
"What about Plants vs. Zombies?"
"I haven't played the game."
After speaking, I saw that these children all had incredible expressions. Well, how could she have that time to waste on these boring things!
"And what do you usually do?" Snow White asked.
"Look at "Twenty-four History", "Five Thousand Years Up and Down", "Research on British Feudal Society", "Tracing the Origin of British Cultural Models", "The Growth of the American Republic", "Roosevelt's Biography", "Hitler's Biography", "Napoleon's Biography", "Nobel's Biography", "Peter the Great", "Qin Shi Huang", "Yang Guifei", "Yongzheng Emperor", "Wu Zetian's Biography", Changsheng said a lot of book titles in one breath. Reading books in foreign languages is cultural accumulation, and reading Chinese biographies is purely a personal hobby.
She was fascinated by "Wu Zetian" for a while and took it as a confidant. She originally thought that she was definitely unprecedented, after all, the road to becoming a woman emperor was full of difficulties and dangers! It's 10,000 times harder than a man! I didn't expect that there was still a Wu Zetian in this world! Although the process is different, the result is the same. Come to think of it, they definitely resonate ideologically!
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it turns out that the confidant is here! It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see it, I can only get a glimpse of it from the book.
Changsheng walked away for a while, and found that those few still had shocked expressions and did not come back to their senses. As for it, isn't it just reading a few books, such a fuss! No wonder you can take out the name Ma Shan!
"Changsheng, you are so powerful! I can read such a profound book! "Snow White was the first to come to her senses.
Changsheng's eyebrows trembled, Gao Shen is either a history book or a biography, it is all narrative, this is Gao Shen, so what is "A Brief History of Time"?
"Changsheng, don't you usually play?" Ma asked.
"Playing, playing chess, drawing, watching TV."
"Great, there's chess here, is that okay?" You can find one to play with. This little guest is really hard to serve, Ma Xue thought.
After that, Changsheng and Ma learned to play chess, Ling Ling and Ling Xue played games, and Ma Shan was playing dance machines by himself.
By the time it was time for lunch, Ma Xue had already lost seven games in a row, and his face was green. He hasn't lost so much in a year! Looking at Changsheng's eyes, there was admiration! He will serve anyone who is better than him.
Changsheng thinks that this horse study is not bad, much more atmospheric than Shen Enze!
After lunch, Changsheng and his grandmother said goodbye and went home. On the way, the grandmother asked, "How are you getting along with the Ma family?" ”
"It's okay, the people are good."
"It's good, we have to get along well in the future, and it will be a help when the time comes." Grandma didn't say a word, and she didn't care if Changsheng understood it or not.
Changsheng glanced up at his grandmother, how could she not understand. Grandma is paving the way for her. After a hundred years of grandma, she is a helpless little girl, and her current smart and beautiful will become a sharp weapon and hurt herself!
A beautiful girl who has nothing to rely on? hehe
If Yao Daya encountered it at the beginning, I don't know how miserable the situation was.
And having a good relationship with the Ma family can always reduce a lot of trouble. But the human heart is the least reliable! So grandma will say it's help, not dependent.
In this world, the only person you can rely on is yourself! She knows better than anyone else.
