Chapter 356: Simple Style
Therefore, compared to the younger generations who live in a peaceful era, they are catching up with the prosperity and development of the motherland and the growing national strength.
On the contrary, it is the generation of our parents, who not only camped in the military area with their grandparents, but also trained in the military together, who have truly started to do things since childhood.
Especially in that era, the most important thing was to be thrifty, hard-working and striving for progress.
It was also the time when the nationwide campaign against arrogance and extravagance was at its peak.
If a family hires a nanny or a maid to help with housework, they are definitely part of the exploiting class, the remnant of feudalism, and are linked to the evil capitalism.
What's more, a family like theirs that is involved in the military and politics and has some color should set an example and take the lead in building the motherland.
Like Qin Lingzheng's father, Bai Yuan's second uncle and eldest uncle who passed away long ago.
When I was a child, I never lived the life of a rich young master, nor did I enjoy the treatment that is commonplace among the privileged class nowadays.
It was just put in the yard, and it spent the whole day chasing chickens and ducks and being chased by white geese.
The main feature is a natural and wild growth.
When I grew up a little bit and was able to carry a hoe and a bucket, I would go to the fields with the adults to do farm work.
At that time, you couldn’t do farm work just because you wanted to.
These belong to the glorious working people. The slogans on the streets are "Labor is the most glorious."
When there is work, everyone rushes to do it, wanting to win the "glorious" title and become a model little soldier.
If anyone opens his eyes and just eats without working, all the kids in the hospital will come together to laugh at you.
This fine tradition was perfectly preserved and passed down by Bai Yuan's generation.
The older generation upholds the fine tradition of advocating remembering the bitter past and thinking of the sweet present. When they were still in primary school, they began to ask the school to organize people to take them to the fields to plant potatoes.
The purpose is to dampen the arrogance of these young masters and young ladies who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Fundamentally correct the evil and unhealthy tendencies that are common in those families outside.
The few who slipped through the net were people of the same age as Bai Yuan's parents.
Not only did she not catch up with the tail end of the hard labor, but she had been living in a large compound in Beijing since she could remember, leading the life of a pampered young master and young lady.
On the contrary, because the older brothers and sisters have suffered, the older generation is particularly doting on them.
The Bai family had special circumstances and Bai Yuan's uncle was martyred heroically in his early years, which led to an even worse trend of doting.
It's really like food is fed into your mouth and clothes are put on you when you raise your hand.
I have never suffered any injustice since I was a child.
But even so, anyone who grew up in a large compound in Beijing would be influenced by it and develop a unique style and habits.
Although Bai Yuan's parents used to have everything provided for them in the compound.
But once they leave the compound, they still know to behave themselves and restrain their airs as young masters and young ladies.
What's more, Bai Yuan's father is a government official, and the regulations within the system are the strictest.
When you are in a position, you have to follow the rules and not overstep your authority. In your daily life, you have to be low-key and not seek privileges or special treatment.
As a result, Bai Yuan now lives in the wealthy area of Haiqi City, where every inch of land is valuable, and has exclusive access to a luxurious villa covering an area of nearly 400 square meters and with its own garden.
Bai Yuan's parents live in a 120-square-meter apartment distributed by the unit in strict accordance with regulations.
In addition, Jiang Zhi was in charge of Bai's business, so sometimes she couldn't get home in time and had to stay overnight near the company.
This resulted in the four members of Bai Yuan's family, including Bai Falcon, each having their own nest.
She also went to see the flat where Bai Yuan's father lived.
Having been used to living in a large villa with a spacious space, Bai Yuan believed that he was not picky or demanding about housing, and did not have the bad habits and bad defects of a playboy.
But standing suddenly in a 120-square-meter house, there is neither the three-dimensional sense of space of going up and down stairs, nor a large garden and yard of one's own.
Bai Yuan actually felt that the room was so small that he could neither turn around nor breathe.
It’s not that I can’t live here, but I just feel suffocated.
Three people squeezed into a 120-square-meter space, with each person having 40 square meters. The thought of it makes me feel suffocated.
So Bai Yuan only stayed overnight symbolically on the first day in Haiqi, and moved to the villa where he lives now the next day.
Jiang Zhi assigned her a nanny to cook and two life-care nannies, which was one more person than when Qin Lingzheng moved out of the compound for two years.
As for those responsible for the daily maintenance of the villa, they are all professional teams and cannot be considered nannies.
Therefore, even though Bai Yuan now lives in one of the most luxurious houses in Haiqi, he is not like in TV dramas, with a group of people following him whenever he goes in and out, or even a special housekeeper who takes care of everything.
It's very simple.
Of course, work and life are two different things and cannot be compared.
Although the people in the compound live a simple life, they must make travel and work in a grand manner and set up a grand scene.
There is a driver, one who gets out of the car to open the door, one who helps push and pull the door, one who gives directions, several people who greet people, several bodyguards, several escorts, several assistants who carry bags, several secretaries, several special assistants, and several recorders...
There was such a large crowd of people following him that there were at least twenty people in total.
The reason is that the work requires it and no one can be left out.
This is a matter of personal opinion.
According to the thinking logic and education that Bai Yuan was exposed to since childhood, after thinking for a long time, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this, as no one could be missing.
You can be relaxed about things in life, that's called simplicity, but you cannot be relaxed about things at work, that's called rigor.
Therefore, Bai Yuan now finds it unnecessary and surprising to see Pei's family have so many servants. In the future, when Pei Jin sees the pomp and circumstance of the Bai family's work, he will certainly think it is really exaggerated.
After the servants had clearly divided the work and brought coats, gloves, handbags and other clothes, Pei's mother looked at Bai Yuan. Her face, which was always serious and intimidating in the workplace, finally had a genuine smile of satisfaction.
"I've seen the tea set you brought. I like it very much."
While Pei's mother was speaking, the servant carrying a black piano case behind her stepped forward, walked in front of Bai Yuan, opened the case, and displayed the items inside in a seemingly high-profile manner but in fact normally.
It was a dark wood matte violin.
Mother Pei said, "I heard that you like violin, so I found a piece by Master Batista for you. Try it. Do you like it?"
Bai Yuan did not refuse. She took the piano out of the box and simply tuned the strings.
Although I haven't played it yet, the weight and touch of the guitar in my hand can be seen. With Bai Yuan's many years of vision, he knows the weight of this guitar at the first sight.
"It is indeed a good piano. Thank you for your trouble."
Bai Yuan put the zither on his shoulder and responded politely with a smile.
She knew that this piano was not easy to get.
Even for a family as wealthy as the Pei family, it would still take some effort.
Because the piano she is using now was also made by Master Batista.
