Chapter 125: Life
After two days of playing with Angela in Los Angeles and Hollywood, Chi Ji's prize money was almost squandered by Wei Da. This is definitely not a small number, and even many low- and middle-income families in the United States have almost a year's savings and income; But there is no problem at all for Wei Da, because he is a white and tender Hao, so there is not the slightest pressure on him to spend this money.
The reality is that some people are living a tight life, they are calculating every bit of their income, high-end hotels, restaurants can only be a luxury for them, and travel and the like are indeed unattainable dreams. And for others, these things are really not the slightest pressure, less than one squander, or even a squander, the number is far more than that.
Wei Da's current mentality is very good, he is rich now, there is no need to deliberately be low-key, there is no need to play any frugality; Although it is not a lavish spending, Wei Da is indeed not stingy in spending money on some things, because he thinks that this will make his life more colorful, and he also feels that such a trip does make him feel very pleasant.
Weida and Angela have made up their minds that they will travel more when they have time, energy, and most importantly, not to affect the operation of the ranch and the investment of the research institute. Take advantage of the youth to go out and see, while you are young now, you will go to those famous mountains and rivers more, they are still looking forward to these; The life of nesting in the ranch is indeed very comfortable, but it can also add more different fun to such a leisurely life.
The life of my parents on the ranch is also very good, although there is a slight language barrier. But they also like the comfortable life they have now; There is everything at home, plus there are also some Chinese stations. Mom does housework, watches TV, and takes care of the vegetable garden a little.
And my dad is a little 'restless' now. Although he had just learned to ride a horse, he had also begun to ride the docile horse of Fat Fat and follow the two brothers Fang Liang and Fang You to learn to herd cattle. And men love cars, anyway, the ranch is empty, so I also have some itchy hands to run to learn to drive.
Wei Da is indeed a little crying and laughing, don't look at his father is already in his early fifties, but sometimes he is still restless; But he didn't care about these Wei Da at all, he thought that it was good for his father to be happy, anyway, it was very safe to have someone to take care of him on the ranch, and even he was very bold to drive his own pickup truck to teach his father to drive. is also encouraging my father to learn a driver's license.
"Dad, you're still a little nervous and can't let go. Driving requires boldness and care, and the response is also fast. After taking his father around the ranch a little, Wei Da, the half-'coach', also began to teach his driving experience, "You can almost drive now, be confident, and have nothing to do!" ”
"No, I'd better drive safely now, and it's okay to drive slower. Safety first. "Dad smiled, he felt really good touching the steering wheel, he really didn't think that he could still drive, and it was a good car." After I return to China this time, I will also go to get a driver's license and buy a car when the time comes. We always have to wait for the bus when we go to relatives and the like, and it is indeed convenient to have our own car. ”
"Then I recommend a better car. Security is paramount. Don't buy a car in small Japan, like any Volvo and Volkswagen cars are good; If you are willing, get a Mercedes. This is more high-grade, atmospheric and stable. A sign of a successful man! Wei Da put his hand on his father's shoulder, looking like a dog-headed military advisor.
"A car of 100,000 yuan is almost enough, why buy such a good car!" Mom is a little unhappy, Wei Da is a young man, it doesn't matter how good the car is, they are all in their fifties, just have a car to travel, there is no need to be so public; Mercedes-Benz cars are really rare in the countryside, and even BMW and Mercedes-Benz in third-tier cities at home are very few.
"Get a Mercedes-Benz C-class, about 300,000. My son is now a billionaire, and if my son drives a car of more than 100,000 yuan, it will be too cheap, and I will pay for it! Wei Da said half-jokingly and half-seriously, parents want their children to have a good life, which is also the most proud thing for them, the house at home is actually very good, and there is a good car, which is even more face-saving.
"I haven't been living in the United States, so I definitely have to go back to China from time to time, and it will be face-saving to lend my father's car when the time comes. How about it, think about it, at the beginning, I was reading at the beginning and the people in the village said that reading was also a part-time job for people, and now my son is out of business, building a house for Lao Tzu and his mother, and buying a good car, this has a lot of face, and I have face on my face! Wei Da said instigatingly, the parents' current mentality is also slowly changing, because they know that their son is promising; Although he has been industrious and thrifty for most of his life, he now knows that his family is indeed very rich, so he is willing to spend money on some things.
"Besides, I'm still driving without a license, and it's all stumbling to drive, and when I buy a car, I got my driver's license. The money you gave us hasn't been spent yet, and we were originally going to buy a house, but now that the house price is rising fast, I'm really a little moved by what you said. "The father and mother glanced at each other, although the son is a little crooked, but it is also a little reasonable, if you have money, then there is really no need to keep hiding the appearance of the writer who can't open the pot.
"You look like you have tens of thousands of dollars in your hand, now you smoke two packs of cigarettes and drink less alcohol, and I can directly buy the house and car together!" Mom laughed and scolded and said that she was still a little unhappy that her father was smoking now; However, she also knew that this could be said to be a habit and hobby of Wei Hui, so she would not stop it.
It's just that in line with the principle that smoking is harmful to health, since it is a smoke, smoke well, so that the harm to the body is relatively small, so she buys cigarettes at home, and she buys good cigarettes like Zhonghua and Su Yan, because the old man is reluctant, and he buys a pack of cigarettes for more than a dozen yuan at most, which is still worth up, you must know that Wei Hui used to smoke a pack of cigarettes for a few yuan.
"Then you play less mahjong, in the first two years, you were lucky, you won or lost, and you can almost guarantee that you don't pay for it, but now it's okay, it's all about giving people money. Now the people in the village like to play mahjong with you, and they all say that they will look for you if there is a shortage of salt at home, I was thinking, this villager has been giving away the salt money for decades! "Dad is not to be outdone, smoking and a little wine is his current fun, and Mom likes to play mahjong.
"How can I lose so much, I calculated that I gave out at most two or three thousand yuan this year, this is just a moment of bad luck, I still won a little bit before. You don't understand this, playing mahjong is by luck, I'm just a little bad luck now, and this is not my son's side to transfer! Besides, my good luck is given to my son, and his current career is doing so well is also due to me, I say every day that it doesn't matter if I lose money playing mahjong, just bless my son! Mom glared at Dad, turned to the kitchen and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Wei Da smiled and watched his parents mix and raise the bar, this is a habit for decades, it is nothing at all, and there is no need to worry about two people arguing or anything like that; Wei Da thinks this is also very good, and it will be very fun if he and Angela are like this from time to time because of some trivial things after they get old. It's a good thing to respect each other like guests, but some of these mouths are more plain and real life.
Although Angela didn't understand what Wei Da's parents were arguing about, she was not worried when she saw Wei Da smiling; In fact, her parents are similar, and occasionally there will be some disputes over some things, which is a very common thing. For these people who have been married and lived together for decades, some small things really won't affect their feelings, and even in such small disputes will make their relationship better.
"We're going to Missouri in two days, and you can ask Mark and Marina if they'd like to go together. Take little York, I think he must be happy, he happened to be on vacation, and we took him over for a little bit of a two-day tour. Wei Da sat on the sofa with a landlord's style, and Wei Da, who was half-reclining, was also surprisingly lazy now, he could sit and never stand, and he could lie down and never sit.
"York would have been happy to go along, but I think mom and dad probably don't have the time, our ranch is small, and we basically have to do it ourselves without cowboys." Angela smiled and patted the prince, this guy is really good at coquettishness, now it completely treats itself as a cat, it now likes to lie in Angela's arms; In fact, the prince is similar, these two half-sized little lynx are very docile now, but they also like to be coquettish.
"York is just in time, I want to have a good relationship with him. But I think he might be disappointed with the trip, which wasn't to a big city or an amusement park. Life on the farm is nice for us adults, laid-back and comfortable, but it can be boring for the active kids. Wei Da laughed a little sinisterly, the farm is a good place for vacation, but it may be a little boring for some children.
Angela also laughed out loud, she knew her active brother very well; Perhaps, as Wei Da said, although little York is looking forward to traveling, it is definitely not in a comfortable and relaxing place like a farm, he prefers the bustle of the big city! (To be continued......)
