Financial freedom begins in Vietnam

That evening, a designated driver took them back to Silverware Street. The three of them tidied up the house in an orderly manner, as if they had lived together for a long time.

Of course, it was mainly Bui Thi Dung and Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc who were cleaning up.

Because his home was already quite tidy, and Chen Junhe wasn't the type to leave things lying around.

So after tidying up, the three of them squeezed onto the bed in the bedroom to watch TV.

Since they had all been drinking and Vietnamese television wasn't very good, Tran Tuan Ha suggested teaching them how to play Dou Dizhu, a card game popular in China.

The standard way to play Dou Dizhu is 2 against 1, and the two girls learned the corresponding rules very quickly.

Having shed her shyness, Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc regained her mischievous and quirky nature.

After Pei Shirong sorted and organized all the clothes, she loudly demanded to find Chen Junhe to play cards.

Two farmers joined forces to fight against Chen Junhe, a landlord.

During the game of Dou Dizhu, she demonstrated that her endurance was far superior to Pei Shirong's.

Pei Shirong has an exceptional talent for playing poker; she usually gives up after playing about half of her cards.

Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc is different; this girl has an exceptionally strong competitive spirit.

Regardless of whether you get good cards or not, you must persevere until the very end.

During a break from playing cards, I experienced a minor close call.

Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc's family suddenly made a video call to her.

The sudden tension made Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc, who was playing cards, tense up. She clung tightly to Chen Junhe, ignoring the ringing of his phone.

After a while, she quickly returned a voice call.

On the phone, it was her mother asking why she wasn't coming home tonight and reminding her to eat well at school.

In order to deceive her family, Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc deliberately had Bui Thi Dung chat with her on the phone for a few minutes.

It took a lot of effort to fool her mother.

"Ayu, why didn't you tell your mother you've found a man?"

Chen Junhe held the petite Ruan Huangmingyu in his arms and asked her in a deep voice close to her ear.

"Brother He, our relationship is progressing a bit too fast. Can I tell my family slowly, okay?"

Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc's expression held a hint of pleading.

She really liked this man, but she was too embarrassed to bring him home after only a week of college.

She wanted to take things gradually, letting her family slowly adjust to the fact that she had found a boyfriend.

Time flies when you're playing cards, and soon it's late at night.

The game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) was forced to stop because Pei Shirong was so sleepy that she was swaying and unable to continue.

On the second day, the three of them were finally able to enjoy a completely leisurely life.

I slept until noon before getting up.

I first went next door to buy a few cups of egg coffee, and only after finishing them did I leisurely go to the market to buy groceries.

Tran Tuan Ha gave Bui Thi Dung and Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc 1000 million Vietnamese dong each to buy groceries.

The trio had a distinctly Vietnamese feel to them.

The two girls carried vegetables in their left and right hands, while Chen Junhe followed slowly behind with his hands in his pockets.

Because neither Pei Shi Rong nor Ruan Huang Ming Yu allowed Chen Jun He to help them carry their things, saying they were afraid of being laughed at by other men.

Since things had already come to this, Chen Junhe had no choice but to adapt to local customs.

He had no choice but to follow behind with his hands behind his back, acting like a big shot.

Lunch was prepared by Bui Thi Dung and Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc together.

They made fried spring rolls, pan-fried pork, and stewed a chicken, because Chen Junhe had made a request.

Therefore, Pei Shirong specially mixed some sesame oil and soy sauce into the cooked vegetables.

A simple lunch surprisingly evoked the tacit understanding of an old married couple.

Chen Junhe has become accustomed to this mode of being served meals, since there's no need to learn how to be served.

The three of them spent the whole day at the mall, except for lunch.

Considering they might need it for their future studies, Chen Junhe provided both Pei Shirong and Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc with a family-sized fruit bucket.

The computer, tablet, mobile phone, headphones, earphones, and music player are all included.

Pei Shirong had already bought a new phone, so she didn't buy a new one this time; she just bought other accessories instead.

"Thank you, Brother He."

Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc held the latest iPhone in her hand, her eyes crinkling with delight.

Vietnam today is just like China was a decade or so ago when the iPhone 4S was just becoming popular.

Holding a brand-new iPhone is a status symbol, not to mention that Chen Junhe provided them with the complete set of iPhone products.

"Brother, come help me with this."

Pei Shirong, who was standing nearby, also called out to Chen Junhe.

She was a little flustered when she first encountered these electronic products, because all of them were being activated.

Although there were sales clerks helping her with the process, she was still a little worried and wanted to keep an eye on everything herself. When she couldn't manage it all, she had to ask Chen Junhe for help.

While Pei Shirong was in a flurry of activity, Ruan Huangmingyu handled everything with ease.

Tablets, laptops, mobile phones, and music players can all be operated synchronously.

It took a while of tinkering in the mall to finally get all the equipment sorted out.

After returning home, the three of them basically didn't go out much.

After connecting the tablet to the internet, they projected it onto the large TV in the living room, where Pei Thi Rong and Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc watched several episodes of a Long Kingdom historical drama.

The addition of Vietnamese dubbing to Chinese dramas left Chen Junhe with mixed feelings.

Because foreign TV dramas dubbed in Vietnam are narrated by only one person from beginning to end, it sounds incredibly strange.

But Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc and Bui Thi Dung watched with great interest. Having grown up accustomed to this dubbing style, they believed that this was how dubbing for TV dramas should be done.

When the two of them were in a good mood, they would sing along with the opening and ending theme songs. Although their tone was a bit strange, you could still tell what they were singing.

I must say, they sang quite well.

However, it is obvious that Pei Thi Rong's singing was not as relaxed as Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc's. She probably doesn't sing much usually, or rather, she doesn't dare to sing much.

This should be attributed to the impact of economic conditions.

After all, she had to earn her living expenses in a factory during summer vacation to afford university. These kinds of entertainments, which are very common in the eyes of others, were basically something that Pei Shirong had never experienced.

"Ah Rong, you and Ah Yu both sang very well."

Chen Junhe praised Pei Shirong encouragingly, which made the girl blush again.

"Yes, Ah Rong, your voice is so beautiful. Just relax and sing."

Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc immediately understood Chen Junhe's meaning and began to assist him from the sidelines.

"Ah Rong, Ah Yu, how about we go to karaoke tonight?"

Chen Junhe is now giving Pei Shirong a lesson in social common sense, teaching her everything she needs to know so that she won't be completely clueless when discussing related topics with her classmates at school.

"Yay, Brother He, sing for us too!"

Standing to the side, Nguyen Hoang Minh Ngoc clapped her hands with shining eyes. She thought that Chen Junhe's voice was so magnetic that his singing must be very good.
