Chapter 1998 Confused again
Yang Dongxu achieved financial freedom a long time ago, but the older generation did not.
For example, Yang’s father and Yang’s mother do not want Yang Dongxu’s money. But the income from the pig farm, the income from growing Chinese herbal medicine in the fields, and now the income from the B&B, can easily amount to several million a year.
They can spend all of this money, because whether it is for old age care or illness in the future, they don't have to worry about running out of money. Their son Yang Dongxu will take care of everything.
But they have always adhered to their previous living habits of being very frugal. Forget about the places you can’t see, but always want to save some money on the places you can see.
For example, Yang Dongxu never discussed things like staying in a five-star hotel with them, nor did he tell them how much it would cost to stay for one night. He only said that his grandparents were older and would be more comfortable traveling in a better environment.
Although Yang's father and Yang's mother can now afford five-star hotels, they also know how to provide good things for the elderly. But it still hurts to hear the prices of five-star hotels.
Therefore, when traveling, the two of them know nothing about the cost of accommodation and transportation. Not only did they not ask about this, they also didn't ask about Yang Dongxu's house in the city, the house in Hong Kong, the price of the car, etc.
Otherwise, it always feels like spending millions or even hundreds of millions to buy these things is simply not worth it.
They feel that it is worth it if they can still drive their family's pickup truck that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars after driving it for so many years. They have to replace their Mercedes-Benz that costs several million dollars in a few years because of functional upgrades. They feel that this is very wasteful. Behavior.
A private jet costs at least tens of millions every year. They work for a few years and only have enough money to maintain the jet for a year. Knowing this situation, they will definitely be worried and sleep poorly. Even if their son is rich, these expenses are only a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu rarely talked about this matter, and they rarely asked.
But you still have to ask about the expenses that can be seen. For example, after walking around Erhai Lake, Yang Dongxu wanted to buy some Pu'er tea to give to relatives and friends.
It would be a bit unreasonable to go on a trip without bringing some specialties with me when I bring so many old people with me in a big way. For example, aunt and second aunt always have to take a look when they get home, right?
But a box of tea costs several thousand. Yang Ma was a little hesitant.
It's not too extravagant to salute Yang Dongxu's hometown.
As for the rising prices of bride price in rural areas, this problem does not exist in Yangjia Village. Because everyone knows that Yangjiacun and several nearby villages are living a good life.
When a daughter marries, she will enjoy the blessings, not the hardships, so the betrothal gifts and other things just need to be thoughtful. During the holidays, just send more gifts to your father-in-law’s family to make their faces look brighter.
The woman asked for hundreds of thousands as if she were selling her daughter. If she married to Yangjiacun, she would be stabbed in the back, saying that the woman's family did not care about drinking the blood of her son-in-law's family, and even her daughter would not be able to hold her head up in Yangjiacun.
After all, marriage is about two families helping a newlywed couple build a new home, not a son-in-law's family's targeted poverty alleviation to his father-in-law's family.
At the same time, the reverse is also true. The woman does not pay attention to the bride price when she gets married. If the mother-in-law is stingy, people will also say it.
Therefore, the custom around Yangjiacun is that no matter what kind of weddings or funerals there are, as long as the meaning is fulfilled, what is more important is normal interactions and relationships.
So if you say that some cousins have a baby, Yang’s mother won’t feel bad if she gives her a golden pig worth more than 100,000 yuan as a gift. This is for the baby.
The most that Yang's mother, who was the aunt when she was with the family, would give back to her was before. If anything happened to the Yang family after the gift, the other family would also have to repay at this price.
In short, it is a gift, and there is no need to return it. The gift is a gift and congratulations are enough.
So now you are giving away thousands of gifts. What do you want others to bring when they come to your house?
Fruits costing dozens of dollars, you don’t mind if the other person is a little embarrassed. I also give you thousands of things, which may be a burden to other families. How can this relative move around?
"Well, anyway, some of my cousins come to my place occasionally, so I bought these teas first. They will drink them well when the time comes, and I will give them some as a gift when they leave.
As gifts to bring home, pick out those specialty products that are hundreds of dollars away. "Yang Dongxu obviously knew his mother's character, so he said.
"This is good, let's choose like this!" A smile immediately appeared on Yang's mother's face.
She is not a stingy person, but she is mainly afraid that giving things will not make the relationship more harmonious, but will bring a burden to others.
For example, during the New Year when people come to Yang's house to visit relatives and take care of their children, the New Year's Eve money is always 50 and never more. In this way, when Yang Dongxu takes his children to visit relatives, the other party can also give 50.
But when buying things for children, buying food costs hundreds or hundreds of dollars without blinking an eye at all.
"I'll also buy a few boxes of tea and take them home first. Let's take four boxes." The aunt next to me said.
Yang's mother was hesitant about how to give them to her, but her aunt directly asked for four boxes because she didn't want to cure her sister-in-law's appearance.
Instead, take two boxes back to honor your parents. This stuff can lower blood fat and cholesterol. It’s good for the elderly to drink it. The other two boxes are intended to be taken to Dong Yao's house. The things brought to Dong Yao's home for the first time must not be too shabby.
Moreover, the gift I brought to my house for the first time was too lavish and I felt a bit like a nouveau riche, but I was afraid that others would think I was looking down on my daughter if I brought it shabby, so this tea became a good choice, elegant and decent.
After taking a few boxes of tea, the group came out of the tea shop and saw many Yang mothers and Yan Jingyiliang setting up stalls on the roadside not far away.
"You put your things back in the car and we go shopping over there."
Compared with the high-end tea shops, roadside stalls are Yang's favorite. Not only Yang’s mother, grandparents, but they also think it’s more attractive there.
"Okay, you go over there." Yang Dongxu carried the things and walked towards the car. His colleague winked at Zhou Ya.
This large group of people are obviously fat sheep at first glance. Yang Dongxu is rich but doesn't want to be regarded as a big fool who is stupid and has too much money.
Although Yang Ma and others are also masters of bargaining in their hometown, this is their hometown after all, and they don’t know much about the prices here, so the bargaining is definitely not accurate.
Zhou Ya is different. She is a big boss who came from a roadside stall. She doesn't know too much about the tricks of this small business hawker.
So Dong Yao felt confused again after being confused about how the Yang family would adapt to money.
In her opinion, even though Zhou Ya, who has such an elegant temperament, is very kind, she is even more ashamed than Bai Qian. She is like a high-altitude goddess, and she should be someone who is not worthy of the other person in the human world who stays on the altar.
As a result, Yang Ma started bargaining when buying things, and Zhou Ya began to take the initiative to bargain. She spoke softly but wielded a knife that was harder and harder every time.
The merchant was stunned and Dong Yao couldn't help but open her mouth.
