The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 162 Sisters
Some people may think that inflation means money becomes less valuable and corresponding assets become more valuable, so shouldn’t we buy houses?
In 2021 and 2022, there were indeed many so-called economists who held this view.

A few years have passed, I wonder if they have been slapped in the face?

I guess they have all forgotten that they ever said such words.

Chen Jingle sneered: "There is a serious housing bubble in China right now. In the process of de-bubble, the money in your hands will become assets and will also shrink. The shrinkage will be even more exaggerated than if you had put it in the bank! Of course, you can also choose to believe that domestic housing prices will continue to rise, buy at the bottom now, go all in, and wait for housing prices to double in ten years, and successfully achieve financial freedom. Everyone is gambling, and you don't know the result until the final draw."

It’s just that many times, people are only willing to believe what they want to believe.

Chen Jingle only talked about his own opinions. What Chen Xiuyun does in the end is her business.

The decision is hers.

After listening to Chen Jingle's words, Chen Xiuyun fell into thought.

Based on the current information, it is indeed not suitable to buy a house at the moment. It is hard to say whether it will be suitable within the next year, but it is right to save more money.

She doesn't have an urgent need.

If the economy improves next year, I might consider buying a small apartment. After all, it will be for my own use, so whether the price goes up or down will not have much impact on me.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, continue to hold cash and wait and see.

Who would be willing to buy a house with a 130% occupancy rate when they can buy a house with a 70% occupancy rate?

Right!

Everyone's money doesn't come from the wind, especially ordinary people like them.

……

"Are you done talking? Can you help me correct my homework?" Chen Qiyun stood beside them with the test paper in her hand, looking angrily.

Chen Jingle and she chatted for a long time and were ignored.

Chen Xiuyun heard this and her eyes narrowed: "Can't you just wait? Would it be unfair for you to wait a few more minutes? I'm not forbidding you to sit down."

The big sister is still very majestic.

Chen Qiyun didn't dare to speak, but just pouted her lips.

Do you really think she is in a hurry to finish her homework? She just wants to get her phone to play games as soon as possible!

Chen Jingle smiled and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

"Don't spoil her too much." Chen Xiuyun rolled her eyes.

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "No. Besides, it's better to guide and educate children. Don't learn from your parents and yell at them at every turn. Otherwise, you will have children who behave like this in the future."

Chen Xiuyun was stunned for a while before she smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. Lin Yaoheng can't stand my little faults sometimes and can't help correcting me. Last time I made a 'tsk' sound in front of him, and he said, 'Why do you always make that sound when others are talking? You seem very impatient.' Then I realized how much I was influenced by my parents. In fact, many times it's just subconscious actions or reactions, but it's very irritating to others."

She turned to Chen Qiyun and said, "It's my sister's fault. I apologize to you."

Only then did Chen Qiyun stop pouting.

Just by being able to realize and actively admit her mistakes, Chen Xiuyun is already better than most people.

Besides, how many children who grew up in a repressive family education dare to say that they are not influenced by their parents at all?
More or less.

What we can do is to consciously control the way we express ourselves.

In front of Chen Xiuyun, Chen Jingle took two minutes to correct Chen Qiyun's homework and found no mistakes.

Praise decisively: "Well done, keep it up~!"

Then I gave her the phone.

Chen Qiyun glanced at Chen Xiuyun, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she quickly took the phone and slipped into the room.

Chen Xiuyun looked helpless: "I can't be so lenient with her."

"As long as you complete your homework carefully, it's only right to reward you occasionally."

Chen Jingle smiled and handed her the test paper. "At least her grades are getting better and better. She used to get at least three or four wrong out of ten questions, but now she doesn't get any wrong. Isn't that enough? If her grades dropped because of playing games, just correct it."

Chen Xiuyun took the test paper and scanned it briefly. She found that Chen Qiyun was indeed doing it seriously. Even her handwriting was much better than before. She pondered for a few seconds:

"you're right!"

I really need to pay attention to this in the future.

……

When Chen Xiuyun was about to leave, Chen Jingle stopped her.

"By the way, Sister Xiu, your birthday is coming soon, right?"

"Yes, next Thursday, September 15th." Chen Xiuyun immediately smiled.

Everyone here celebrates their birthday according to the lunar calendar, and Chen Jingle is no exception.

Chen Jingle nodded: "Yes, I understand."

"What does it mean to know?" Chen Xiuyun covered her mouth and laughed. Chen Jingle waved his hand: "You will know when the time comes."

Chen Xiuyun: "Tell me now, do you want to give me a gift?"

"Yes, there is a gift. You will know what it is when the time comes."

Chen Jingle smiled and waved.

He used to work in the provincial capital, and he would send a red envelope directly through WeChat as a token of his appreciation. This year, he is staying at home and not going out to work, so he decided to prepare a gift.

It is not a difficult task for him now.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Chen Xiuyun left with a smile.

Chen Jingle returned to the house and prepared to start cooking.

I was so busy chatting that I almost delayed cooking.

The meals have been relatively simple these two days, mainly consisting of cold dishes and side dishes, after all, the weather is hot.

It's all home-cooked food.

However, the more home-cooked the dish is, the harder it is to make sometimes. It is undoubtedly challenging to make it taste better based on simple ingredients.

The first thing to do is stir-fry the baby cabbage.

Cold vegetables, Chinese salad, blanch and cut into shreds, add various seasonings and mix well, simple and delicious!

Another dish is fish-flavored mashed potatoes, which comes with sweet and spicy sauce, taking the local people’s taste into consideration.

Plus a meat dish, beer braised duck.

Yes, you read that right, beer stewed duck, not beer duck.

It was originally supposed to be called Spinach Dumplings and Beer Braised Duck, but Chen Jingle did not put dumplings in it and chose to make beer braised duck alone.

Debone the duck and cook it, then cut it into pieces and cook it. Add beer to the original soup and start stewing. Add appropriate amounts of scallion, ginger, salt, white pepper, rice wine, and some sugar to neutralize the bitterness of the beer.

He is taking a shortcut.

Normally, it takes more than an hour to stew a boneless duck until it is soft and tender, but this one only needs to be stewed for 30-40 minutes, which is relatively shorter.

The conditions at home are limited and we cannot support cooking for such a long time. We can only try our best.

The duck soup made in this way is very nutritious. On top of the fragrant and delicious meat, having a piece of stewed soft duck meat is simply a treat.

……

"It's time to eat!"

Chen Jingle shouted towards the room where Chen Qiyun was.

Soon, Chen Qiyun's voice came: "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

Chen Jingle frowned: "I don't want to shout it a second time!"

The next second, Chen Qiyun rushed out of the room, her hands moving non-stop, rubbing the screen of her phone frantically: "I'm going to win, I'm going to win!"

Chen Jingle: “…”

Sister Xiu is right, I can’t spoil you too much!
By the time Chen Jingle took out the bowls and chopsticks, Chen Qiyun had already won the game and boasted proudly: "I have reached level 6 and can start playing ranked games."

Chen Jingle took the phone with a blank expression: "Games are just for entertainment. It's okay to play them moderately. If you get too addicted, I won't let you play next time."

Not to mention scolding, at least let her know the limits and not to go too far.

Chen Qiyun's neck shrank: "I know."

"Have a meal!"

Chen Jingle snorted.

Chen Qiyun didn't dare to say much and just followed behind to serve the soup.

Even though I got scolded, fortunately today's dinner was very rich, with three courses, and I ate enough to fill my belly.

As long as you complete your study tasks every day, you will have food to eat and fun to play. Such a life is simply like a god!

Just ask who else? !

Looking back at your past, what kind of life did you lead?
Grandparents, parents and mother yelled at her every day. No one helped her with homework, but just told her to work hard. Even after finishing her homework, she was not allowed to watch TV for a while, because she should read books after finishing her homework.

As for food, needless to say, she used to eat one bowl of porridge, but now she can eat three bowls plus a bowl of soup.

Your appetite won’t lie.
