Chapter 525: Chapter 324 New Tenants in Urban Village
The little fart kid had always been called cute from a young age.
She might be called a bit silly, but nobody was allowed to say she wasn’t cute.
Not even her favorite sister.
That Chen An’an, it was bad enough that she liked to mess around, but she also had a habit of bringing her sister to tears during their chats.
It was simply detestable.
Song Yanxi called her to the second floor, and the little fart kid clung to her mommy’s thighs, crying and sobbing.
As soon as she saw her sister coming, she immediately stopped crying, knowing that if she continued, her sister definitely wouldn’t take her to play later.
“Chen An’an, why did you make your sister cry again?”
“It’s her own fault for being a crybaby, how can you blame me?”
Chen An’an glared fiercely at the little fart kid, scaring her.
“She’s just too thin-skinned and has been praised so much by everyone around her that she lacks self-awareness, thinking she’s the prettiest and cutest all the time, but she’s really just as ordinary as Dad.”
“You can stop right there, if your dad hears this he’s going to scold you again.”
Chen An’an didn’t care, as she was about to have a holiday anyway, and next semester she would be in fifth grade.
After finishing fifth grade comes sixth grade, then childhood would also be over.
The little fart kid would just cry for a bit, then she would go back to hugging her sister’s thighs.
Hoping that she would take her along to play.
“Mom, how come I heard Dad say that you’re planning to send my sister to one of those ordinary kindergartens?”
“It’s all your fault.”
Song Yanxi snorted twice, “Look at you with your school fees of over a million a year, has your performance improved? You were 25th at the beginning of the year and only rose to 23rd at the end because two students left the class. Your dad doesn’t want your sister to be isolated from the general public forever.”
Alright… she had wanted to fight for the little fart kid a little, but now it seemed impossible. Those ordinary schools were mostly focused on exam-oriented education.
If you did well in those schools, it was bearable, but if you didn’t, teachers wouldn’t even bother with you.
Everything was for the sake of exams.
“Mom, you really need to think more long-term, okay? Although I haven’t improved academically, in which other aspect am I not outstanding? There’s no student who doesn’t follow my lead.”
“Yes, you’re great at everything except for academic performance—and weight,” Song Yanxi said helplessly.
“I’ll think about losing weight when you do.”
“Why should I lose weight? Dad says this is a sense of security.”
Song Yanxi was at a loss for words; the spoiled brat had so many tricks up her sleeve that she didn’t know how to argue with her.
Looking at her for too long gave her a headache, so she sent her downstairs to play by herself.
Tomorrow would be her fourth-grade graduation ceremony, and Song Yanxi, with her big belly, definitely wouldn’t be able to attend.
It would just have to be Dad accompanying her.
When Chen An’an went downstairs, she also asked her sister if she was fat.
The little fart kid shook her head vigorously, not fat at all, quite slim.
Chen An’an was very satisfied; her own sister, whom she had brought up, always told the truth.
That wasn’t what she had said last time, and she ended up crying after getting beaten up by her.
This time she was honest.
Besides being a bit older, Chen An’an hadn’t changed much.
She still practiced her Praying Mantis Fist and none of her silly antics were missing.
Her sister used to like to wet her pants, so she came up with a super clever little method.
Cured that stinky habit in three days.
Panties worn backwards.
The next day, Chen An’an faced the last day of fourth grade.
The school even organized class activities and invited many parents to participate.
Chen Pingsheng was among them, and before he knew it, his spoiled brat had graduated fourth grade and was about to start fifth grade.
By the time Tengying Town and Tengying Eco-community were completely built, it would probably be time for her elementary school graduation.
Time really flies.
This year, the main performers in the class were still her, Zi, and Xiaomi.
The three of them had become besties who could talk about anything. Chen Pingsheng also got acquainted with their parents.
After the event comes the two-month-long summer vacation, which, for most parents,
is a time to arrange all sorts of learning activities for their children.
That is, the so-called tutoring.
Chen An’an didn’t need it; her Dad never arranged extra tutoring activities for her.
If she couldn’t learn well during class, there was no point expecting her to do well outside of class.
However, this summer vacation, Chen Pingsheng still planned a special educational activity.
That was to return to farming.
But not to the countryside—right in Magic City.
He bought a large farm in Golden Mountain, where the neighbors were a mix of some local households,
and mostly tenants from elsewhere, a diverse group of people.
Many couldn’t afford to rent in the city center and had to commute one or two hours every day.
As for the locals, if they hadn’t yet been displaced by redevelopment, they were essentially rural folks.
Ordinary people might not understand, but in fact, more than eighty percent of city dwellers don’t get rich by their own merits,
but rather by inheriting their family’s old houses, which is to say, through redevelopment payouts.
In a place like Magic City, it’s quite common for the word “demolition” to be associated with a Panamera.
Without it, you’d be stuck riding around in a Xiao Ya electric scooter every day.
As his children grew, Chen Pingsheng knew he needed to spend more time on their upbringing and education.
Compared to the homogeneous population of rural areas, these urban villages within the city were obviously more like the real world.
Nowadays, the countryside is left with only the elderly and left-behind children.
It’s far less complex than the urban villages in big cities.
The little fart kid was about to enter kindergarten, and Chen An’an was moving up to fifth grade.
It was high time for them to experience the real world, or they might end up on the wrong path when they grew up.
Chen An’an was confused; this didn’t match her expectations for summer vacation at all. She had imagined sailing across the world in the family’s super yacht this summer,
or at the very least, going on a global shopping spree.
But what was this? Her Dad had taken her to the kind of rental house where they lived when she was younger.
There was no oversized swimming pool or air-shipped gourmet food—just a Volkswagen Phaeton with its emblem removed,
And a two-story house, with no underwater world and no comfortably explosive outdoor balcony.
“Dad, did you go bankrupt?”
Chen An’an voiced her soul-searching question, while Chen Xinyi was utterly baffled.
She hadn’t even adjusted to leaving their mansion yet and always felt like they could return to their villa at night.
Chen Pingsheng shook his head, “No, I just want you to experience real life, to see how people around here live.”
“Dad, can’t we experience the same from inside a villa? Do we really need to live in this kind of rental house like we did when I was a kid?”
“It’s essential.”
Chen Pingsheng said, “Chen An’an, let me warn you, I’m serious this time. You can either go back and I’ll hire a bunch of tutors to teach you ten hours a day, or you can live here honestly for two months.”
Study?
You’ve got to be joking.
Apart from studying, there’s no hardship that Chen An’an can’t handle.
Without 24-hour bodyguards or nannies, her strong adaptability meant she would have no problems.
It was a completely different story for her little sister, though.
She hadn’t faced hardship a day in her life; the toughest thing she’d endured was probably some expensive traditional medicine.
To her, a place like this was just intolerable.
