Chapter 199 Reality is so cruel!

The atmosphere on their side was just right, and Mu Nannan, who was reading under the tree, also looked over.

Listening to the respect and admiration of the cultural people in the words of the uncle and the second aunt, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In this era of lack of clothing and clothing, it is good to have a full stomach and survive.

Especially the rural people who face the loess and back to the sky, how can they have the mind to read books and newspapers, let alone go to school.

Out of ten farmers, at least eight farmers cannot afford their children's school fees.

The uncle and the second uncle were also forced to drop out of school after only a few years of school because the family had no money.

"Ugh!"

She put down her book and sighed.

Ji Beinian stopped turning the pages of the book, and turned to look at her:
"what happened?"

Okay, why did you suddenly sigh?

Mu Nannan lowered his head, with a listless tone:
"Little brother, the reality is so cruel..."

Her mother was full of culture, but she was forced by reality and buried in their small mountain village.

The aunt and the second aunt had no dream of being a cultural person, but they were forced by reality to become one of the thousands of ordinary working women.

She thought that if they could have continued to study, they might be living a different life now.

Ji Beinian didn't know where she was feeling, but he put down his book and touched her head, thinking about it:
"The reality is indeed cruel."

Mu Nannan looked at him with his mouth flattened:
"Little brother, you should not echo my words now, but enlighten me and tell me that the reality is not cruel."

This will make her feel better.

Although, it is only a little bit better.

She thought that after her point, the little brother's next words must be to comfort her, but it turned out:

"Reality is cruel."

Ji Beinian said seriously:

"Nanbao, I don't want to lie to you."

Mu Nannan:
"..."

"Little brother, actually, it's good for you to lie to me for a while."

Ji Beinian frowned and asked an honest question:
"I lied to you temporarily?"

"Are you also temporarily deceiving yourself?"

He shook his head:
"this is not good."

Mu Nannan's mood got worse.

Her sentimental temperament really made her feel bad.

Seeing her downcast, Ji Beinian took the initiative to bring up a topic:
"Nanbao, remember I told you that I invented an oil press before?"

Mu Nannan nodded:
"remember."

It surprised her at the time.

Ji Beinian released a bomb:
"Actually, I didn't invent the oil press alone."

Mu Nannan was a little confused:
"Little, little brother..."

Ji Beinian continued:

"That oil press was invented by me and my teacher together."

"Even in a fundamental sense, he is the inventor of the oil press, and I just made his research results and fulfilled one of his wishes."

When he mentioned this matter, his gaze became somewhat blank:

"Nan Bao, he is the best teacher who ever taught me."

"But do you know where he is now?"

He asked himself and answered:
"He's at the Northwest Ranch."

"...Nan Bao, he obtained a doctorate at the age of 20, and then entered a research institute. He invented countless things and trained countless students."

"But his final ending is to be with cows and horses all day long on the ranch."

"Even for some reason, things he invented had his name erased."

"He has changed from a knowledgeable university scholar, a famous person who can walk sideways in Kyoto, to a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats."
