Chapter 414: Dining on the Construction Site
The day before the May Day holiday, everywhere was congested.
Many people hurried home, while plenty of others thought about taking their families on a trip.
Train stations, high-speed train stations, and airports were all crowded with people.
At such times, it's not easy to buy a good seat to go home.
Most people started scrambling for tickets half a month in advance and still haven't finalized anything.
Er Piya and her sister naturally had a different approach; their family had applied in advance for a flight route to return on their own private jet.
A private jet worth over seven hundred million is definitely the ultimate way to travel.
After boarding, Er Piya immediately wanted to shoot a short video, and Chen Pingsheng was really impressed by her.
But her butt pants are getting more and more exaggerated, with an Ultraman on the left and a little Nezha on the right.
She had too much fun on the plane.
However, since she started liking making videos, there was one good thing – she was no longer bothersome.
Give her a phone and she could film all day long.
In May, Magic City officially entered the summer, with rising temperatures making it especially easy to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
This is especially the case for those who are overweight.
Since there are many relatives in the family, they still decided to spend this May Day holiday at Tan Palace Villa.
As for traveling at this time, there's no need at all; everywhere is crowded with people.
Their home is big enough for them to play as they wish.
Er Piya found a bunch of children similar to her to shoot videos together.
This included her cousin Hu Qilin, as well as the children of Chang Fu and Yang Qian.
She had a blast; as for Chen An'an, being eleven years old, she couldn't possibly play with those little kids.
She wanted to start a charity and donate half of her pocket money each year to help those who really need it.
As for who needs help, she wasn't sure at the moment.
Her eldest sister's two daughters loved to play with her, as did the not-so-serious Song Shuiqing.
She, like a child who never grew up, loved to play with these kids.
Chen An'an knocked on the table; last month she ventured about ten million into stock trading.
She purchased a dozen stocks; the fluctuation wasn't too extreme, there were losses and gains, but overall, it was hard to see much profit.
Now, she wanted to use her parents' money to do something genuinely charitable.
"An'an, why didn't you ask your uncle for help with this?" her eldest sister, Xiao Le, asked her.
"My Dad won't interfere; he gave me this money to train my spending skills. I can't ask him for everything."
Alright... giving two hundred million per year just to train her spending skills.
The justification struck her hard.
Xiao Le then asked, "Have you thought about whom you might want to help?"
"I have thought about it, just not sure how to go about it yet."
Chen An'an was also quite distressed, so Xiao Le straightforwardly suggested starting by helping the migrant children.
Many migrant children in Magic City are left-behind children.
Their parents work in Magic City while the children are cared for by grandparents in the villages.
They only return once or twice a year.
Chen An'an's eyes lit up. Helping these kids seemed like a good idea, but how?
Helping too much isn't good, but helping too little defeats the purpose.
Xiao Le proposed that they visit together; during the May Day holiday, while most people had returned home, many were still working hard here to earn money.
Like Mrs. Yang who sells boxed lunches at construction sites; her family specializes in quick meals for construction sites.
Thirteen yuan per person for a meal with generous portions and lots of dishes.
The couple manages, despite using a kitchen no bigger than a construction shack, to earn around a hundred and eighty to ninety thousand a year.

It is just a tough job.
The kind of hardship that children from wealthy families can hardly understand; during the May Day holiday, only state-owned enterprises or regular companies would have holidays.
There's no such holiday on construction sites.
After Chen An'an brought a group of kids over, they saw the busy figures mingling with the smell of sweat.
And the dishes laid out were a bit of a mess.
Obviously not very clean.
Er Piya came over and immediately pinched her little nose, somewhat unable to stand it.
She couldn't understand how people could eat this food at all.
Exactly... she just couldn't understand these people.
Chen An'an came over; business here was booming and buying meals required standing in line.
At a glance, the place was packed with people from the construction site.
"Sis, how can these people be so unhygienic?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, born into a wealthy family with so many people waiting on you even when eating?"
Er Piya is still young, and there are many things she hasn't seen before, so it's understandable that she disapproves of this dirty and messy environment.
Chen An'an specifically brought her here to experience this, even queuing up to buy her a bowl of food.
Er Piya was almost in tears, while the two daughters from the big sister's home seemed okay.
Their family's living conditions have only improved in the past few years; big sister Chen Yao has endured hardships for half her life.
She couldn't possibly let them spend money recklessly.
So, they could still accept this dining environment.
Because the profit margins here are too thin, the couple never hired anyone else to help.
Only their nine-year-old daughter was responsible for collecting bowls and wiping tables here.
Seeing that the group of people bought food but didn't eat, the little girl even went up to ask:
"Why aren't you eating? My mom's cooking is very good."
"It's too dirty, how can we eat this!"
Er Piya never beats around the bush and surely doesn't consider other people's feelings.
Upon hearing this, Chen An'an became displeased, "I'm sorry, my sister is only four years old, she doesn't understand these things."
Er Piya indeed didn't understand, and even less so why her sister insisted they come here to eat.
But upon hearing such words, the little girl felt very unhappy, always believing her mother's cooking was the best.
Others could eat it happily, so why couldn't they?
But after all, they were customers, and she wouldn't say anything.
"Erya, can't you think before you speak?"
"Why should I think? I am not supposed to eat this kind of food, you were the one who insisted on bringing me here."
Er Piya rarely talked back to her sister.
Chen An'an gave her a little smack, feeling compelled to use force, "Your dad used to eat this kind of food, didn't you know?"
"My dad, that's impossible."
Er Piya pursed her lips, not believing at all, "Dad is so wealthy, he would never eat this pig food."
"You…" Her voice wasn't soft, and many people heard it; Er Piya showed no intention of apologizing.
Getting her to apologize was basically impossible.
"Chen Xinyi, do you think dad was born wealthy?"
Chen An'an felt like beating her, "This kind of fast food, dad ate for at least ten years, he even used to take it home for me to eat, have you become so rich that you forgot your roots?"
It wasn't Er Piya's fault, she was born when the family was already very wealthy, why would she still need to eat this kind of food.
It was originally a trip to let her experience life, but who knew she would make others so uncomfortable.
Obviously, they could not continue eating, so Chen An'an used her phone to pay an extra ten thousand as an apology fee for her sister.
When they left, the couple hurriedly chased after them.
They were just earning from fast food, not begging for alms.
The little girl also ran out with them, but the scene outside somewhat scared her.
Two top-end Phantoms, two Mercedes MVPs.
And six or seven bodyguards standing around, these are indeed the real wealthy princesses.
The little girl blinked for a long time, somewhat envious yet not daring to touch.
She could only stand by awkwardly and watch.
Clearly, these people were not supposed to eat their kind of food.
The couple also wanted to return the overcharged money to Chen An'an, but she didn't accept.
No matter how you put it.
Ten thousand might look a lot, most people can't earn that in a month.
But this ten thousand was merely a gesture to express a slight apology for her sister's inappropriate words.
Chen An'an felt that her sister really needed to be educated properly, otherwise, she would grow up to have a bratty attitude.
What's a bratty attitude? That's those rich, influential family kids who never see ordinary people as actual people.
Er Piya was clearly heading in that direction.
The couple didn't know what to say, having accidentally collected an extra ten thousand from them.
But still, they felt quite good about it.
This May Day they could buy their daughter a couple of more beautiful clothes.
Chen An'an then went to find her dad, believing he would never let Er Piya stay this way.
Sooner or later, he would correct her.
