Chapter 685

Chen Xi was frightened, and she knew very well that the changes in the Chen family over the past two years were actually brought by her second brother.

For rural families, only one child can barely maintain it, but if they were like the Chen family, they would be in a terrible life.

For the sake of the four children, Chen Weiguo and Tao Xiuying can be said to have achieved a sluggish state. Fortunately, several children are all successful, but with their ability, they can only achieve this level. Although none of them dropped out of school, life is inevitably much more difficult.

Compared with their peers around, the Chen brothers and sisters have also suffered, but Chen Xi never complained about anything. They are more than inferior than the best, and their parents have already paid enough for them.

The grudge between the Zhang family and the Chen family is not a secret in Qianwang Village, and the old lady has been talking about it all the time. Although she has no good feelings for Zhang Ziyu, she has jumped out of the farming family with her ability. Due to this incident, Chen Xi has had a very intuitive impression since she was a child that the college entrance examination is the only opportunity to change her destiny.

Especially Chen Qiaoshan's success strengthened her beliefs.

Chen Xi still remembers that after the college entrance examination, his second brother followed Chen Weiguo to work in a brick factory, holding a ten yuan a day. This is almost the most realistic portrayal of the time.

It is all Chen Qiaoshan’s contribution to the Chen family’s today, but he never takes credit for it. If he cannot benefit his family, then all his efforts outside will be meaningless.

As a man, Chen Qiaoshan still has this responsibility. The reason why he complained in front of Chen Xi today was just a joke, and he would persuade this girl by the way.

There are too many accidents in the college entrance examination, which is actually not that important to Chen Xi.

Even if you are admitted to Peking University and graduate in the future, you will only find a decent job, earning a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, and still worrying about the high housing prices and working hard for your livelihood.

For the Chen sisters, these problems actually no longer exist. Even if Chen Xi failed the exam this time, there was nothing bad about it, because even if she achieved nothing in her life, she would have a family to provide a guarantee for her, which was enough to ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing.

Chen Qiaoshan wanted to live such a life in his previous life, but unfortunately, he was not able to get it.

People are born equal, sometimes they are just a joke.

In economics, there are also similar jokes, such as currency neutrality theory.

In the theoretical world, there have been long doubts about whether currency is neutral, and economists from the Classical School and the Neoclassical School have long adhered to this view.

Because according to the purpose of currency issuance, the supply of money will lead to an equal-proportional increase in the price level in the same direction and will not have any impact on productivity and the actual income of workers, so the currency is neutral.

But the truth is that monetary policy will really affect the operation of the actual economy, otherwise central banks of various countries will no longer have the need to exist.

Currency is neutral, and the premise of this theory is that the market is perfect.

But anyone with some common sense in economics knows that the market cannot be perfect, and it can even be said that all markets are distorted, so the currency cannot be neutral.

In a sense, philosophy and economics are actually common. People are born unequal, and money is born rather than neutral. It is actually the same truth.

Chen Xi obviously misunderstood, and she said, "Second brother, I'll help you explain to the fourth brother."

"Don't worry about her, you'd better worry about yourself." Chen Qiaoshan wanted to persuade Chen Xi to relax and deal with the upcoming college entrance examination. As for Chen Wan, she would not cause trouble for a while.

Chen Xi said: "I know, second brother, don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to Peking University."

"Don't put pressure on yourself. Of course it's good to pass the exam, it's okay if you can't pass the exam."

Chen Xi was stunned. She didn't think she had any other choices besides the college entrance examination, but Chen Qiaoshan's tone didn't seem to be joking, "Second brother, are you serious?"

"Of course, the college entrance examination is very important, but it is not as important as you think."

After leaving the city, the road conditions were very bad, there were bumpy potholes everywhere, and there were many cars. Chen Qiaoshan hadn't touched the steering wheel for a long time. He was very careful. The van had limited sound insulation, and the engine and tire noise made him a little impatient.

Feeling that it is necessary to have a good chat with Chen Xi, he parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Some words are hard to say to parents, you are not young anymore. I went to Yanjing last year to see some things. I should let you know."

Chen Xi said: "Second brother, you want to say that you have made a lot of money, right?"

"How do you know?" Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised.

"The Qingshan Forum sells for 10 million US dollars. Because of this, Miss Xiaoqin has also been to the newspapers here."

Chen Xi smiled and then explained: "I called her and asked her, you know, I have a good relationship with Miss Xiao Qin, and she doesn't hide anything from me."

So that's it, Chen Qiaoshan suddenly realized.

If Chen Xi asked, Yan Xiaoqin would not hide it from it. Seeing that her face was a little proud, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "What's the point of 10 million US dollars? You are too underestimating people. Do you want to know your brother's real wealth now?"

He listened to the sound, Chen Xi was a little surprised. She was not a three-year-old child. He knew what this meant. For her, ten million US dollars was already an astronomical figure. But the meaning of Chen Qiaoshan's words was obviously more than that. After a little hesitation, she asked: "Second brother, how much money did you make?"

"A lot, enough for you and Xiaowu to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Chen Qiaoshan joked and said seriously: "As long as you are willing, it doesn't matter whether you take the college entrance examination or not. If you accomplish nothing in the future, I promise you to support you for the rest of your life."

Chen Xi was very happy, but when he heard the second half, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Second brother, you look down on others too much, who will do nothing?"

No matter how big or small a woman is, she is even smaller than a needle. Chen Qiaoshan has no choice but to explain: "I'm just an example."

Chen Xi did not pursue the matter anymore and said after a long time, "Second brother, you will marry your sister-in-law in the future and you will have your little nephew and niece. The fourth brother and I cannot point to you for the rest of our lives. We still have to rely on ourselves."

On the road of life, everyone is a lonely walker, just like a person who drinks water, knows the cold and warmth.

Chen Qiaoshan was very pleased. Of course, he could meet the material needs of his family, but it was only that. His life was short and everyone should live out their own world. Of course, the three sisters of the Chen family were no exception.

Chen Qiaoshan said earnestly: "I don't have a rich brother, so I have no choice at all. In our family's situation, I can only give it a try in the college entrance examination, which will allow me to earn my first pot of gold in the college entrance examination."

"I told you all this, just to know what you know. Although you and Xiaowu were not born with golden spoons in their mouths, they don't have to worry about money from now on. As for the college entrance examination, just do your best. You don't need to use it to prove yourself."

The poor children were already in the family. Unlike Xiaowu, Chen Xi has seen the hardships of life. For the tuition and living expenses of the four brothers and sisters, he forced his father to wear a cotton jacket for more than ten years. It would be difficult for anyone to remain indifferent.

Seeing Chen Xi's eyes flushed, it was obvious that he heard it. Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This girl is also a strong man. She is not worried about being stubborn, just because she is afraid that she will be stubborn, "Okay, don't go to Xiaowu. She will cry at any time. She has no future, don't say thank you. You know, I am quite pretentious. If you praise me, I'm very proud."

Chen Xi burst into laughter. This was her second brother whom she was familiar with. She felt much more relaxed when she said it. After a while, she asked curiously: "Second brother, how much money have you earned outside?"

"Don't ask, I'm afraid that it will scare you if you say it."

Chen Xi gave Chen Qiaoshan a blank look again and said angrily: "I don't like to talk about it, I know how to brag all day long."

The brother and sister joked for a few times, and Chen Qiaoshan restarted the car, but after a few minutes of walking, the Lu Zun drove towards him.

Chen Qiaoshan quickly pulled over and stopped the car. After asking, he found out that Tao Xiuying saw that the brother and sister did not follow him, so she was worried and asked Chen Weiguo to turn around and look for him.

Tao Xiuying was very worried, "Second, is it reliable to drive? It's only took so much time to get so far?"

Chen Qiaoshan said, "Mom, I have nothing to do, you are just worrying about it."

Tao Xiuying was very suspicious. After seeing her in person, she said to Chen Xi: "Third brother, get into your father's car. He drives steadily. I get into this car. Your second brother is very impatient. I don't feel relieved if he doesn't stare at it."

It doesn’t matter to Chen Qiaoshan, “Mom, can you drive? Come and stare at me?”
