Chapter 1095 College Students Are Different

Some people say that the reason you are unhappy during the Chinese New Year is because you have grown up and the happy person is no longer you. The reason why the New Year flavor is not so strong is that now every day is the New Year, instead of eating meat only during the New Year, so you have become accustomed to not having so many surprises.

But now Yang Dongxu has grown up, and he is married with a son. He is rich and powerful and has everything he wants. But he still feels that the New Year is more lively and happy now than the New Year more than ten years later, and the New Year flavor is also strong. These have not disappeared because he is an adult.

After more than ten years, everyone complains that the New Year is not like the New Year, what about growing up, what about every day is like before the New Year, but it is not strange.

The main reason is that people are standing opposite each other, but they always feel that there is an invisible barrier.

Now no matter how busy they are outside, adults and children rush home at the end of the year. In the future, due to various life pressures, many people choose not to return to the countryside during the New Year.

Now people get together to play cards, drink tea and chat, and in the future, people sit together to play cards to gamble. If they don't play cards, they play with their phones. Everyone keeps their heads down as if they can't talk.

Even most people hide in their beds and play with their phones after closing the door, and don't go out for a walk. The sense of distance makes the New Year less lively and close, and it feels more deserted every year. In addition, many places have begun to ban the use of fireworks and firecrackers, which makes it even more deserted.

So the New Year has no flavor. It has nothing to do with growing up, and it has nothing to do with people's affluent lives and no longer being happy because they can only eat meat during the New Year. The real reason is that people have changed and become more unfamiliar with each other.

After returning home, I put on my cotton-padded jacket and hugged my child, and looked around. A group of people stood together and talked, and the naughty child was kicked in the butt by his father, and the cigarette butt was thrown in the mud and crushed by his feet. No one cared about secondhand smoke.

Don't speak too civilized, and even the content of the chat is a bit vulgar. But it is this vulgarity that makes the New Year seem more lively.

The clothes the child wore were not that clean, but he looked tougher than the child who changed several sets of clothes in the future.

"What's going on over there?" It was a bit cold outside, so a group of men went into the house to drink tea, and the child was put on the ground and ran around. As for wrestling and fighting, it didn't matter as long as he didn't cry.

Xiao Wenchen was a little young, and the older brothers listened to him responsibly while playing by himself and protecting him, which made Yang Dongxu feel more at ease. So he started chatting with Xiaowu and the others.

Xiaowu turned his head to look at the deep ditch that had been dug beside the street not far away, "It's said that a sewer was built, and in addition to the sewer, there is also running water. Originally, the town said that it would be a public test, but the villagers disagreed and didn't do it."

"It's okay to build a sewer, but will anyone use the running water?"

Because of the willingness to repair the road, the road in the middle of the street is higher than the ground in front of the shops on both sides. Later, some shops were demolished and rebuilt into small buildings, and each family raised the front of the door.

In this way, the road surface that was originally higher than the door has become much lower, so the water on the road cannot flow out on cloudy and rainy days, so it is good to build a sewer.

As for tap water, although every household in Yangjia Village is now considered rich as long as they are willing to work hard, rural people are frugal in their bones. Now every household has a pressurized well, and many even have electric water pumps.

Both the pressurized well and the water pump are undoubtedly free, while tap water obviously needs to be paid. So this promotion must be a bit troublesome.

As for the public test, it is a bit ridiculous. Who in the countryside doesn’t have a toilet? Even if everyone goes to the public test, it will be a hassle to clean it up when the time comes.

It is better to do it like now, where every household builds a toilet behind the house and does not affect the appearance of the street. Whoever has a toilet can clean it up at night and bury it in the ground.

"No one in the village will use it, but it's okay on the street. At least there are two-story buildings on the street. The newly built houses in the past two years basically have a bathroom like those in the city.

When the time comes, buy a solar energy or a water heater for bathing. Using a water pump is definitely not as convenient as using tap water. I took the lead in finding someone to tinker with this tap water." It was not Xiaowu who spoke, but Daliang.

In recent years, the biggest change in Yangjia Village, in addition to every family starting to buy a car, is that you can see houses being built almost all year round.

Some of them were originally tile houses, but they were demolished and built into buildings because they had money in recent years. Some simply felt that their two-story buildings that looked quite impressive before were now outdated, and there was not even a bathroom or living room inside, just a house.

So they also demolished and rebuilt, and in addition, every family of Yang Dongxu's generation had at least two or three children. And many of them were brothers, so they would definitely split up after marriage, and they would definitely have to build another house.

"By the way, where is the general?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"I went to give a New Year's gift to his father-in-law." Xiao Wu said.

"Did it work?" Yang Dongxu's face lit up: "When will the wedding be held?"

"The New Year's gift was given, but it's still unclear whether it will work." Daliang curled his lips.

"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu felt that Daliang's expression was not right.

"What else can I do?" Xiaowu took over the conversation: "They look down on us because we are from the countryside. Didn't you see how the girl's parents came to our village to recognize their family? They drove a small car and it felt like a leader was inspecting the countryside. If the general hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have driven your Mercedes-Benz to the backyard and asked them if they knew it."

It's not just Xiaowu. In fact, as his cousin, Daliang was also very angry. He couldn't understand why the other party felt so awesome for driving a small car.

That car is only about 100,000 yuan, right?

My own truck is more than 300,000 yuan, and it's one of my own family, and the general's family also has one. And they can afford a small car worth more than 100,000 yuan.

It's just that after seeing Yang Dongxu's Mercedes-Benz, Daliang and others who originally wanted to buy a small car to show off their face after having a big car. Looking at the small car worth more than 100,000 yuan always felt so boring.

So one by one, they are preparing to save money to buy a better car, at least an Audi or BMW to make them feel face.

Moreover, when they were discussing the marriage, the general's parents were not stingy. They asked for a dowry of 100,000 yuan, a house and a car.

If you ask around, you will find that even in the county, or even in the city, a girl from the city can definitely afford such a dowry.

But people still feel that Yangjia Village is a rural area, while they are from the county town. They feel that they are still superior and look down on the nouveau riche in the countryside.

"That's why the general likes her. Zhang Jing is not bad. She doesn't have the bad temper of their family members who look down on others and don't know their surnames. Otherwise, I must pick them up and let them know that people in the county town are nothing, and they are nothing in our Yangjia Village." Xiaowu took a puff of cigarette and snorted coldly.

When the engagement was made, he and Daliang accompanied them to pay the gift, and he almost got angry at that time.

"The other party did something really unkind. Find time for the general to make a scene to calm you down." Daliang said.

Although everyone is from the same family, Daliang and Dajiang have the same grandfather, so they are cousins. Daliang's grandfather and Xiaowu's grandfather are cousins, so Xiaowu and Dajiang have a more distant relationship. At this point, Daliang must stand up to defend his cousin.

"We brothers are still polite. Let's forget about this marriage. Let them toast me a few more glasses of wine. If it doesn't work out, we'll deal with it separately." Xiaowu waved his hand.

Several people grew up wearing open-crotch pants together, and they have all developed well in recent years. There is no such thing as climbing up and stepping on the low between brothers.

So although Xiaowu was a little angry about this matter, he could let it go for the sake of Dajiang. And Zhang Jing is really good. Every time they meet, she calls him brother, and sometimes she buys some snacks for Dajiang to bring back and share with their children.

Although Xiaowu certainly has the money to buy snacks for the children, her attitude is really nothing to say. This is also the reason why Dajiang feels that Zhang Jing's family has eyes on their foreheads, but did not persuade Dajiang to find another girl.

"You're still planning to snatch the bride if it doesn't work out?" Yang Dongxu slapped Xiaowu on the shoulder, "Find out what Zhang Jing's parents do, and see if they know anyone working in the factory.

One day, invite the factory leader to dinner and bring her family. If she works in the unit, go to their leader for dinner and let him see. This matter is basically done."

It is definitely not possible to use money to deal with this matter. The answer can be obtained by the fact that the general's parents have given the betrothal gift so generously, and the other party still has that face.

The current social atmosphere has not yet reached the point of laughing at the poor but not at prostitutes in later generations. Reputation, status and work are still important criteria for measuring whether a person is capable. As for money, it must be there, but it ranks after the first three.

So as long as the other party can see that the general's family is not only rich. But also has connections and knows big leaders, and can say a few words in the small acre of land in the county, naturally he will not dare to speak arrogantly anymore.

"This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? People who have been to college are different. They make money very quickly." Daliang clapped his hands and felt that he could do it this way.

"It's obviously a compliment to me, why do I feel that it doesn't sound right?" Yang Dongxu glared at Daliang unhappily.

"It's a compliment to you." Daliang said with a smile.

"Do you want to drink tonight?" Xiaowu asked.

"Tomorrow, the general will definitely drink a lot when he goes to deliver the New Year's gifts. Let's not invite him tonight. He will definitely invite us to drink again tomorrow.

If everyone has nothing to do tomorrow, come to my house to drink together. It just so happens that I brought a few bottles of good wine when I came back. Let's try it then." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"You serve wine, how can I ask you to serve dishes? Come to my house." Daliang said.

Yang Dongxu said it was good wine, so it must be good wine. Although Yang Dongxu never showed off when he returned to the village, and he didn't walk with his legs crossed. But when the Mercedes-Benz worth millions stopped in the yard, everyone had their own judgment.

"Okay, it doesn't matter. Stop arguing and just stay at my house. I brought some seafood and sea fish with me, and if I don't bring much, it won't be enough to share. But it's okay to make two meals, come to my house and taste the fresh food."
