Reborn since 2005

Chapter 285

The embankment is only a few meters high, but the slope is relatively steep.

Yan Xin pulled Feng Xi up all the way, and he was very tired. When he reached the top, he let go of Feng Xi's hand and said, "You don't look fat, why are you so heavy?"

Feng Xi said: "It's not that I'm heavy, it's that you're weak."

Yan Xin categorically denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm right, I'm in good health."

Dissatisfied in my heart, I thought: "One night three times, where am I wrong?"

It's just that there is no way to talk to Feng Xi about this dazzling record.

Feng Xi looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't deny it, emptiness is emptiness, I think you can straighten up the goji berries."

"No need at all." Yan Xin said confidently.

However, he felt a little guilty in his heart - in fact, he had already prepared wolfberry more than a month ago and drank it secretly for more than a month.

He didn't know if it had any effect, but anyway, he felt that his body was working quite well.

Feng Xi didn't argue with him anymore, and followed him all the way down the embankment, towards the hill where Yan Xin lived.

It was only when Yan Xin reached the embankment that he realized that he had walked half a mile towards Feng Xi's house before he knew it while taking photos while walking in the river.

After a certain distance, we will soon reach her house.

It's no wonder that Feng Xi can be seen here, and he is almost at the door of his house.

Feng Xi's house is on the other side of the embankment, not too far from the embankment. Standing on the embankment, you can clearly see her house, which is an ordinary red brick house that has been around for some years.

You can even see the tangerine tree behind her house, but now that the weather is cold, the oranges on the tree have been picked, and the oranges cannot be seen.

Standing on the embankment, you can also see Yan Xin's home, built on the mountainside.

There are more than a dozen families in a row, and Yan Xin's house is the most conspicuous.

In the 90s, the embankment broke in one year, and the flood flooded into the village. The houses of those people under the embankment were flooded, but those who lived on the mountain were still in good condition.

The house of Feng Xi's family was built after the flood that year. Because the original mud brick house was washed away by the water, the government subsidized part of the money later, and he paid part of the money himself to build the red brick house.

Yan Xin's house was not destroyed that year, so he could not get housing subsidies from the government for the disaster victims.

After getting off the embankment and passing by the small path, Feng Xi said to Yan Xin: "I came back to see your house last time, but I only looked from the outside, not from the inside."

"What do you think?" Yan Xin asked.

"It looks beautiful from the outside, but I don't know what's going on inside, so I have to go and have a look." Feng Xi said.

The two walked while talking, and when they passed Yan Xin's fish pond, Feng Xi asked, "Have you sold your fish this year? Have you saved some for the New Year?"

"Keep it, and keep it in the pool behind the house." Yan Xin replied.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned again: "How do you know this is from my fish pond?"

Feng Xi rolled his eyes: "It's like this. When I went home last time to see how your house was built, I saw your father throwing grass into the fish pond."

Yan Xin let out an oh, and then said nothing.

When the two reached the foot of the mountain, they had to go up a slope to go to Yan Xin's house. This slope was not as steep as the slope of the river embankment, but it was longer.

There are lands on both sides of the road, pieces of land with different heights.

With such a not-so-steep slope, Feng Xi also said that she couldn't walk anymore, followed behind Yan Xin, and stretched out her hand:

"Yan Xin, I can't climb this slope anymore, please give me a lift."

It's almost home here, Yan Xin didn't want to get involved with her, so he hurriedly walked forward a few steps, distanced himself from her, and said, "If I can't walk anymore, I have to go, I have no strength anymore."

Feng Xi said angrily: "You suddenly run so fast, I think you have good strength."

She also quickened her pace, trying to hold Yan Xin back.

But Yan Xin didn't want her to hold her back, so she ran even faster when she saw her coming.

The two chased the other and ran, and within 2 minutes, they arrived at the door of Yan Xin's house.

When Feng Xi reached the hardened road, he put his hands on his knees, bent over and panted, and said bitterly: "Yan Xin, you are so unmanly, you won't even pull me!"

Yan Xin said very seriously: "You are such a big man, you should learn to walk upright."

The two of them were talking, which startled Dad Yan who was tidying up behind the house.

Hearing that his son was talking to a girl, he quickly put down his hand and came back to life, and then saw a girl who looked a little familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was a girl from the Feng family who lived in the sixth group by the riverbank. She came to the house for dinner last year, and she even cooked a meal herself. Her cooking skills are pretty good.

He greeted him with a smile on his face, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the Feng family has no money to pay back, so they want to use this daughter to pay off the debt?"

That's true, and it's pretty good.

When Feng Xi saw Dad Yan come out, he stood up straight and said "Hello, Uncle Yan", and he became more reserved.

Yan Xin explained to his father: "She is the younger sister of my classmate Feng Chen. She is now in the third year of high school. She heard that my house has been built. I want to take a look. If it is good, her family will also want to build a house according to this style in two years. Dong."

Father Yan was taken aback—the Feng family borrowed 1 yuan from him some time ago, saying that they wanted to buy a house for their son in Yangcheng.

Being able to buy a house in a big city is definitely promising.

In the eyes of the villagers, he is much more promising than his son—one is the boss of his own company, and the other is a worker.One bought a house in a big city, and the other could only build a house in the countryside. This gap is not ordinary.

I didn't expect that people not only bought a house, but also planned to build such a house in two years, which is very remarkable.

Speaking of which, he is much more promising than his son.

When Yan Xin said this, he was explaining why Feng Xi followed.

If there is no reason, it is a bit unreasonable to bring a girl who is only two years younger than myself to the house.

He didn't want any scandals to spread.

Feng Xi did not refute his statement.

Then Yan Xin took Feng Xi to walk around from the kitchen.

The kitchen has only been built for a month or two, but because of the firewood, the painted walls have been yellowed by the smoke, and it won't be long before it will be blackened.

Feng Xi couldn't help but said: "It's a pity to burn firewood in such a good kitchen."

Yan Xin was helpless: "My dad has been poor all his life, so I would be reluctant to let him use electricity or gas."

Feng Xi pursed her lips and said, "If it were my parents, they would definitely be willing."

Yan Xin smiled.

Everyone has parents, but not everyone's parents are so considerate of their children.

Anyway, based on what he learned in his previous life, Feng Xi's parents didn't think much about this daughter.

He would think of Feng Chen as his son, but he would not sacrifice too much for his son.

For example, Feng Chen couldn't think about committing suicide by jumping into the river at the beginning, because he failed the college entrance examination and wanted to re-study, but his father vetoed it.

If it was Yan's father, if Yan Xin had the possibility of being admitted to university, he would support his son in whatever he said, no matter how hard or tired he would be.

He is very clear about what father Yan lived in the past few years. He was really sacrificing his life for his son.

Feng Chen's parents couldn't do that.

They are all farmers, and the two of them work together. The money they can earn in a year is not as much as Yan's father alone.

As for the money that can be saved, it is even further away.

If they have such a beautiful house, they definitely don't want the house to be blackened by smoke and fire, and they will use electricity or gas instead of firewood.

I will also pay for my children, but the degree of dedication will not be so deep.

Among the children, they are more willing to pay for their sons and more willing to take from their daughters.

When Feng Xi said such things, she was not praising her parents, but complaining about her parents.

But after Yan Xin laughed, he thought that if his father could have such a concept, it would be a good thing for him as a son, at least he would not be so economical and could live a better life.

He didn't want his father to look malnourished in order to save a few dollars.

Being so harsh on yourself now is overdrawing your future life.

He hoped that his father would know how to enjoy, make life better, be healthier, and live longer.

Being too frugal is sometimes not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "I hope my dad can be more willing."

Feng Xi glanced at him and said: "The concept of the older generation is different from ours, so it has to change slowly. The main reason for being so frugal is that you are afraid of being poor. You have to let him feel that his family is already rich. After getting up, you have to give him a sense of security, and then the consumption concept will gradually change.”

It's not like Yan Xin didn't think about the issue of security.

Telling his father that he has a lot of money now does not give his father much sense of security, but it will make him fall into greater anxiety.

He can only tell his dad step by step like now that he has earned money and his life is better, and he doesn't need to live frugally like before.

But according to the income he made up, after building this house, there will indeed be some deficits, and naturally there is no way for his father to feel financially secure.

As Feng Xi said, it can only be done slowly.

I will tell his dad next year that he has paid off the debt, and by the way, tell his dad that his salary has increased again, and tell his dad how much money he has saved in the next year. This way, it should be able to change slowly.

Otherwise, I am still very anxious.

If it doesn't work, then he can only take his father to live in the city and reveal his current wealth.

Once you leave this village, you don't have to worry about it so much.

However, leaving this village, whether his father can live happily is another question.

Thinking of this, his brows frowned.

Feng Xi looked at his expression and whispered next to him:

"It's okay. It will get better slowly. It's not that easy to change a person's habits."

Yan Xin hummed and said, "I hope so."

Feng Xi said again: "The thing he is most worried about may be your lifelong event. If you can get married and have children earlier, he will be relieved."

She could say that because the people of the previous generation in this village were most worried about their children's marriage. To be more precise, they were worried about their son's marriage to a wife.

The poorer the place, the more serious the problem.

Because everyone knows that it takes a lot of money to marry a wife.

In this village, in the past few years, no matter which family gets a wife, it will be bankrupt.

It's just that it's relatively easy to ruin one's own family. What's more, one has to borrow a large sum of money to be able to marry a daughter-in-law.

Those who raise their daughters don't have such a headache, and can basically earn some gift money.

Those who raise sons often start to have headaches when their sons are in their teens.

Feng Xi said the truth.

It's just that when telling this fact, Feng Xi also had some other thoughts, and the eyes that looked at Yan Xin became a little urgent.

Yan Xin didn't look at her, thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "That's the reason."

I thought to myself: "Looks like I have to discuss marriage with Lily. It's best to go to her to get a certificate when I turn 22, get married and have children in one go, so my dad won't worry about it."

Feng Xi asked him with a smile: "Do you think that in order to make your father feel at ease, you have to get married earlier?"

Yan Xin nodded: "That's right."

Feng Xi asked again: "Then, do you have such a marriage partner in your heart?"

Yan Xin originally wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, she couldn't stimulate the student girl who was about to take the college entrance examination, so she denied it:
"No, I'm busy with my career now, how can I have the mood to think about this?"

The words are righteous and strict, but the heart is very empty.

Feng Xidao: "Actually, you can think about it, but you can't consider those who are too young. The age difference is too big. When you reach the legal age of marriage, but the other party is not that age, then it is not suitable. You are 20 years old now. It can be considered, when you are 22 years old and your partner is exactly [-] years old, and both reach the legal age of marriage, you can get married earlier."

When she said this, she blushed a little, but she said it anyway.

He also seriously analyzed Yan Xin:
"It's best to find someone who knows the basics and is close to each other. The two families can take care of each other. They both live in the same circle and grew up in a similar environment. Many things are easier to understand each other, and there will be no conflicts. There are differences in culture. As for career, it’s best to find someone who has the same goals and can help you in your career.”

Yan Xin turned his face to the side, rolled his eyes where Feng Xi couldn't see, and thought to himself: "You just report your ID card and forget it."

He could only act as if he couldn't hear it, and said, "You are very reasonable, and I will think about it."

After Feng Xi said a lot, he also felt that the direction was too obvious, so he was embarrassed to say any more.

Coming out of the kitchen, Yan Xin took Feng Xi to look at several rooms on the first floor.

There is the bedroom where his father lives, the living room, which is called the main room here, the guest room, and a storage room.

On a table in his father's bedroom, there are a lot of things that Yan Xin brought over from Yangcheng, including cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, and some ingredients, such as beef balls, sausages, dried squid, etc. .

"You brought so many things?" Feng Xi's eyes widened.

Such a large table was already full, piled up like a hill.

Yan Xin said with a smile: "The car can hold so many things, so of course I should bring more. Otherwise, with my dad's personality, would he be willing to buy these things?"

Feng Xi also smiled: "It must be reluctant."

Yan Xin glanced at her, a little strange: "Your tone is so firm, it seems like you know my dad very well."

Feng Xi said: "Your father is diligent and thrifty, who in the village doesn't know? And these things, don't say that your father is reluctant to buy them, even my father is also reluctant to buy them."

This explanation is quite reasonable, and Yan Xin accepted it.

Feng Xi saw several boxes of chocolates inside, and asked curiously:
"Your dad doesn't eat this chocolate, and you probably don't like it either. Why do you buy so much?"

"Go to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings during Chinese New Year, and feed it to their children." Yan Xin said helplessly.

Feng Xi snorted: "Is it necessary for your relatives to give such a good gift?"

Yan Xin felt the same way: "Who says it's not? But my dad is leaving, and I can't help it, so let's make some money for him."

When his family was in trouble, relatives gave very little help, that is, they gave a little help at the beginning, but later they hid when they saw his family, for fear of asking them to borrow money.

Yan Xin was still angry about this.

He has become promising in this life, but some relatives came over to show his favor.

But in his previous life, his family had been poor, and many relatives did not move around in the end.

When his father passed away, he made more than a dozen phone calls, but in the end only a few relatives came, and it was simply because they lived too close together that it was really embarrassing not to come.

The few families that came here, and some of them accused and mocked their husband and wife in front of many people during the funeral. At that time, not only Yan Xin was angry, but Feng Xi was also angry.

According to Yan Xin's current thoughts, those relatives may not leave. They don't have any family ties in the first place, and they won't bring him any benefits. There is no need to look at that face.

But Dad Yan didn't think so, he still wanted to go on with those relatives.

Yan Xin also understood what he was thinking, but he was worried that he would suffer a lot if he was alone without someone to help him in the future.

This is the clan concept of the older generation. They always feel that there are relatives, even if the relationship is not good, others will have some fear.

He couldn't tell his dad about it either.

Since his father is willing to go on, let's go on.

Even if those relatives are very snobbish, as long as they don't hurt his family in this life, they will follow their snobbery.

It would be a good thing to make his father feel at ease.

Having said that, no matter how snobbish those relatives are, there is still a difference between having those relatives and not having those relatives, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

If their family didn't have any relatives in this area, if his family built this small villa and his father was alone at home, he didn't know what terrible things would happen.

Feng Xi looked at those things angrily, picked out two boxes of chocolates, and said to Yan Xin:
"I ate the box of chocolates I took back in the morning. It tastes good. We don't sell this here. Just give me these two boxes. I'll give you how much it costs."

Yan Xin waved her hand: "Take it if you like it, what money do you want?"

Feng Xi rolled his eyes: "Then I'll take all the chocolate you bought."

Yan Xin's chocolates were originally intended for the children of his relatives, but he didn't have a good impression of those relatives, nor did he have a good impression of the children of those relatives - he is a child now, and he will be an adult in more than ten years People, he also remembers what kind of people they are, and there is nothing worthy of liking.

It's just to save face for his father, so it doesn't matter if he spends a little money to buy something that is considered a luxury here.

However, Feng Xi said that she likes to eat.

Then there is nothing to say, Feng Xi's needs must be met first.

Without hesitation, he said: "If you like to eat, just take it away. You can take a look at what else you like in here, and you can take it away."

Feng Xi looked at all the snacks and was quite moved.

But in the end, he still didn't do anything, and shook his head with a smile: "These few boxes of chocolates are enough, nothing else is needed."

Yan Xin bought a total of six boxes of chocolates and spent a few hundred dollars. Feng Xi took away one box earlier, and now there are five boxes left.

Feng Xi said yes, so she took out the five boxes of chocolates, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to her: "Take this."

Feng Xi carried the five boxes of chocolates and followed Yan Xin up to the second floor.

Yan Xin's bedroom is on the second floor. Although he hasn't lived in it for a day, it is still tidy.

There are also several rooms on the second floor, which are reserved for guests.

All the furniture that should be purchased was also purchased, and Yan Xin spent a lot of money.

In a big city like Yangcheng, these furniture are nothing, but in rural areas, these furniture are relatively luxurious.

Looking at the rooms one by one, Feng Xi clicked his tongue: "Yan Xin, you really enjoy yourself, building such a good house at home."

This is on the second floor, don't worry about Dad Yan hearing it, Yan Xin also relaxed, and said: "Of course you have money, you should enjoy it. If you still work so hard, why do you earn money?"

Feng Xi said depressedly: "But I'm still working hard, money is not easy to spend, and the learning tasks are so heavy, sometimes I really don't want to study, anyway, I can live well with those few shops. "

"Then why are you still studying hard?" Yan Xin asked.

Last year, he also hoped that Feng Xi could study hard and be admitted to a good university.

At that time, he felt that only by being admitted to a good university could Feng Xi's fate be changed.

But I didn't expect Feng Xi to be so fierce in this life. He started doing business to make money when he was studying, and now he has opened three online stores, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, with deposits of several million.

The value of the three online stores is even more unpredictable.

Just relying on those three online stores, I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and indeed there is no need to study hard.

Under such circumstances, Feng Xi still studied so hard, and even gave up some opportunities for business development. This is what he feels a little incomprehensible.

He felt that if Feng Xi didn't study, or if he didn't study so hard, life should be much easier.

Feng Xidao: "Sometimes I also think about it. Now that I have reached this point, what books do I still need to study? With my current financial conditions, I can live a very comfortable life."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "However, if I stop studying, or if I fail to get into a good university, how should I explain to my brother? My brother gave up his re-reading for me to study. Opportunity, going to the construction site to move bricks is to let me study hard and get admitted to a good university. Then I come to tell him that I don’t want to study anymore and I’m going to be ruined. What will he think? That should be very Lost? He treated me so well and paid so much for me, I can't live up to his expectations."

Yan Xin disapproved of Feng Xi's parents, thinking that they were too patriarchal, and they were not good to this daughter at all.

But he has to admit that Feng Chen, the older brother, is really kind to his sister. Although Feng Xi is much richer than Feng Chen now, Feng Chen doesn't know it, and wants to earn more money so that his sister Live a good life too.

Feng Chen has always had a college dream and is obsessed with college.

He has no way to realize this dream, so he can only pin his hopes on Feng Xi.

If Feng Xi gave up, it is conceivable that Feng Chen would be very disappointed.

Feng Xi said again: "Besides, I also want to go to a higher place to have a look. Being a high school student will also limit the height I can reach."

The first reason is to live up to Feng Chen's expectations.

The latter reason is to realize one's own ambition.

Yan Xin remembered that the girl in front of her also had a dream of going to college in her previous life. When she first came out to work, she taught herself the second and third grades of high school. She wanted to work hard to earn enough money to go back to school.

But then that dream was shattered.

In the first year or two of their marriage, the relationship between the two of them was not as bad as it was later on. Feng Xi would tell him some of her own stories, and when it came to dropping out of school, she felt very depressed.

It's great to have the opportunity to realize such a dream in this life.

So he said: "Then work hard, the college entrance examination is only a few months away, try to be admitted to a good university, have a better development platform, and have greater development."

Feng Xi smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, if I have a better development opportunity, I will develop with you."
