Reborn since 2005

Chapter 289 Accompanying
On New Year's Eve, the employees of the online store also had a day off, and they didn't continue to work until the 25th.

But there won't be many days of work, because in two days, the express delivery will stop running, and I can only rest until after the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Feng Xi goes to the online store now, mainly to do an inventory, to count all the inventory in the store, and to settle the bills that should be settled, and then to distribute year-end bonuses and red envelopes for the New Year to the employees.

The online store has made a lot of money, so of course the employees should be given some benefits, so that the employees will be more motivated to work.

After Feng Xi received Yan Xin's message, he quickly replied to him: "I'm busy, I should be able to finish my work tomorrow, and I will invite everyone to have a meal the day after tomorrow. You are also the boss, do you want to come over to participate in the meeting?" ?”

When Yan Xin received her reply, he had already got out of the car and was going upstairs with a leg of venison.

Venison is more expensive, and most people can't get it. It hangs outside, and it may be stolen at any time.

The cured fish and bacon made at home are all hung on the balcony on the second floor, and this leg of venison will also be hung there.

Hearing the voice of QQ, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but he didn't reply right away.

He was thinking about this matter, whether to go over or not.

Going up to the second floor, I found an iron hook to hook the leg of venison and hung it up. After thinking for a while, I replied with two words: "Okay."

Feng Xi quickly replied: "Then it's settled, I'll go to the bank to withdraw some money, and then you can send red envelopes."

Yan Xin replied with "OK", thought for a while, and added: "Eat when you eat, if you can make the dishes richer, don't drink."

He is really a little sensitive about drinking.

The amount of alcohol is too small, you will get drunk as soon as you drink it, and some uncontrollable things will happen when you are drunk.

For example, when I drank too much in the county, I somehow shared the bed with Feng Xi.

For another example, I drank some red wine with Ai Lili later, and then inexplicably lay on the same bed again, and the two of them didn't even wear clothes.

That means that my wine taste is very bad, and I will mess up when I am drunk, and I will mess up with girls.

I had lunch at Xiao Shiyu's house without a drop of alcohol. This was the main reason, and worrying about drunk driving was the second most important thing - you don't have to go back if you drink too much, and you can just find a place to stay for the night.

The main reason is that I am afraid that if I drink too much alcohol and do some messy things in front of my father, I am afraid that when I wake up from the alcohol, I will already squat in the prison.

He has that little money now, but that little money is not enough to save him from punishment.

He didn't know how he got this kind of wine, but every time he got drunk with a girl, something like this happened, which made him wonder if there was a pervert living in his heart, and he couldn't hold it when he drank too much. live by yourself.

The best thing to do is not to drink, because if you don't drink, you won't release that demon.

Feng Xi didn't take this reminder seriously: "But, for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, this is equivalent to having a New Year's Eve dinner with the employees. Shouldn't we have some wine to cheer us up?"

Yan Xin also felt that it was unreasonable not to drink on this occasion, but he didn't want to drink, so he found a reason:
"I'm going to drive, and you can't drive if you've been drinking, so I can't drink."

Feng Xi: "Then you don't drink, the other employees still have to drink, and we can't let them down."

Yan Xin had no choice but to agree to her arrangement.

It's not that he was reluctant to pay for the little drink, but that everyone drank, and he, the boss, didn't drink by himself, which seemed a bit out of place and would create a sense of distance for the employees.

But drinking is afraid of making mistakes.

The employees of the online shop are all women. If they become crazy after drinking, it will be a big problem.

What is even more frightening is that those employees are not beautiful...

It was still early when he came home, and it was not yet three o'clock. His father didn't go out to work, but was chopping firewood on the hillside behind the house.

First use a hacksaw to saw the thick wood into small pieces, and then split it.

This still takes some effort.

Yan Xin finished chatting with Feng Xi, went downstairs to the back, saw his father chopping wood there, took the ax from him, and said, "Let me do it."

Dad Yan shook his head: "Where did you do this?"

Yan Xin was not convinced: "I still have some strength."

Although he himself has never chopped firewood before, seeing his father do it, it feels like a laborious job that does not require any skills.

Speaking of hostility, he doesn't think that a 20-year-old youth will be weaker than his father in strength.

Put the firewood and chop down with an axe.

At the first blow, it was not accurate, and the ax fell to the ground.

Then came the second strike, this time it hit the target, but the force was useless, the edge of the blade was sideways, instead of splitting the firewood, it sent the piece of wood flying up, so as not to hit anyone.

Dad Yan shook his head and took the ax from his hand: "Let me do it."

With the facts in front of him, Yan Xin could only accept it, blushing and gave up the axe.

He added: "Actually, burning firewood is not very good, not to mention using gas, at least we can burn some coal."

"There's no need to waste that money," Yan's father said, "It doesn't cost money to burn firewood, just go to the mountain to cut firewood by yourself, it just takes a little effort."

"Wouldn't it be better to save some energy and take a break?" Yan Xin tried to convince his father, "It's not that people are born to work so hard, and it's not a sin to take a few more days off."

Dad Yan said: "I can't be idle, I feel panic when I am idle, I should feel at ease when I do something."

Many people in rural areas are like that.

Obviously I don't have to work so hard, but I always have to find some work for myself, and I always feel that I am making a mistake when I take a rest.

Probably because I was afraid of being poor before, and I felt insecure if I didn't do some work.

Yan Xin has nothing to do about it.

Can only come slowly, step by step.

Just like what Feng Xi said, if he wants his father to work less hard and save so much, he has to make his father feel safe about the future, and let his father know that the family's money can't be spent, and then slowly Change your mind.

Of course, now he can persuade him as much as he can, to make his father realize that he, as a son, doesn't want him to work so hard, and hopes that he can have more time to rest and enjoy life.

Can't chop wood, but can still saw wood with a hacksaw.

His father is busy here, and it's really impossible for him to lie on the bed and rest with peace of mind.

So, he picked up the job of sawing wood.

His father asked him to rest, saying that he worked hard outside and came back after a long time, so there was no need to do these things.

He said with a smile: "I am not as hardworking as you at home farming when I work outside. You are working all the time during the Chinese New Year. It is not easy for me to sit and rest. Otherwise, it will fall into the eyes of others. Maybe I will be blamed. How unfilial is this son.”

When he said that, his father was a little embarrassed.

The father and son worked together, and it didn't take long. Before four o'clock, Yan's father said he would quit, and he had to prepare dinner and gather up the chopped firewood.

In fact, it's not time to make dinner yet, but Dad Yan knew that if he didn't stop, his son would follow him to work here. He couldn't see his son's hard work, so he simply quit earlier.

I also made a decision in my heart-do those tasks after my son is gone, and rest at home while my son is still there.

At noon, Yan Xin was eating outside, and Yan's father had a makeshift meal, which was the leftovers that father and son hadn't finished eating yesterday.

Now that my son is back and wants to have dinner together, of course it can't be so improvised.

But today is not New Year's Eve, and there is no need to be as grand as yesterday.

I made three dishes with two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, one dish of bacon fried with garlic sprouts, one dish of fish, and a dish of choy sum.

Two meat and one vegetarian.

All three dishes were served by Yan Xin.

Now he feels that his cooking skills have improved a bit, and the dishes he cooks are much more delicious than those made by his father. Of course, he has to show off his cooking skills at this time.

It's also better for your stomach.

Dad Yan lit the fire there.

While cooking, Dad Yan asked about Yan Xin's meeting with Xiao Shiyu, and he was very concerned about it.

The most concerned thing is Xiao Shiyu's father's attitude.

If it doesn't work out, it will be an in-law. If an in-law is not good at talking,

Yan Xin didn't hide too much, he talked about the meeting and Xiao Shiyu's father's job.

Father Yan doesn't know how many officials are at the deputy section level, but he knows how many officials are deputy directors.

In his opinion, that is a very big official. Hearing this, he was a little worried: "Will an official like him agree to his daughter marrying you?"

Although Yan Xin had no intention of marrying Xiao Shiyu, she still didn't take it seriously when she heard this, and said with a smile: "That's not a big official, so he shouldn't look down on ordinary people like us."

Father Yan said, "He won't let you be his son-in-law, will he?"

Mainly thinking, how could an official's daughter, or the only child, marry a farmer's son?
Not at all right.

If you agree, then I'm afraid it's just the idea of ​​finding a son-in-law, otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Xiao Shiyu is a very good girl, so he is willing to have such a good girl as his daughter-in-law.

But if you are someone else's door-to-door son-in-law, then you can't accept it.

No matter how he made such a thing, he couldn't face his dead wife after he died.

Yan Xin said depressedly: "Dad, your son is not that bad, how could he be a door-to-door son-in-law? Even if I am a bachelor, I can't be a door-to-door son-in-law!"

But I thought in my heart: "This seems to be a good excuse. When the time comes, I will tell him that Xiao Shiyu's family asked me to be her son-in-law, but I refused, so that he won't complain that I am irresponsible."

Only then did Father Yan feel relieved, and said again: "You don't need to be a bachelor. With your current conditions, you are not worthy of an official family, but you can still find a very good wife."

Yan Xin smiled and said: "Isn't it? So, you don't have to worry about this at all. I can assure you that when I reach the age where I can get married, I will find you an excellent daughter-in-law and come back as soon as possible. You hold your grandson."

Hearing his son's assurance, Dad Yan also laughed.

Although such determination may not necessarily lead to success, it is a very good thing to have such determination.

Many of the young people in the village are unwilling to get married too early, and they worry some parents to death.

In the past few years, he has heard many parents in the village complain that their sons don't talk about their daughter-in-law when they grow up, and they say they don't want to get married when they ask, and they will become old bachelors.

At least Yan Xin doesn't have such a problem. He is willing to get married and have children early, which is better than those people.

——Actually, Dad Yan is a bit overthinking. Now those young people say they don’t want to get married. In many cases, it’s not that they really don’t want to get married, but that they don’t have the ability to get married.

The parents are just urging them to talk about a daughter-in-law, and it's not that they don't want to, but with their own conditions, it is extremely difficult to talk about a girlfriend.

But this is too embarrassing to say it, and in the end I can only find one reason, that is, I don't want to get married so early.

Not wanting to get married is just a fig leaf.

Of course, after a few years, many young people really don't want to get married anymore, thinking that getting married will only bring endless troubles to their lives and reduce their quality of life, so it's better to be happy alone.

Yan Xin actually thought about whether to get married for a while. He felt that it would be more free to live without marriage.

As long as you have enough wealth, it is definitely more comfortable not to get married than to get married.

At that time, he had already earned his first pot of gold. In the foreseeable future, relying on the bonus of rebirth, he will have more wealth. It is not difficult to become a billionaire.

With so much wealth, as long as you don't get married, you can be with any beautiful girl you want, and you don't have to worry about being condemned by public opinion.

Married is called cheating, and if you are not married, you can't talk about cheating.

Not only will she not be condemned, but she may even be kneeled and licked by many people and become a national husband.

As long as the money is enough.

Don't say it's okay to change a girlfriend every month, there are many beautiful girls waiting in line for the flop, even if the fists are itchy, there will be a large number of people waiting in line to be beaten - as long as they can afford it More than 200 million fees.

If you have a net worth of tens of billions, you can live such a life.

Marriage is purely to make yourself uncomfortable.

Yan Xin is not an innocent man, he actually hopes to have more beautiful girls.

However, he also knew that his father would not agree with his way of life, and hoped that he could live a more traditional life, get married and have children, so that he would feel at ease.

In the previous life, he disappointed his father and made his father's life so painful. In this life, he still needs to make up for it. He thinks that he should follow the traditional path and marry and have children when he is old.

After confirming the relationship with Ai Lili, some unrealistic fantasies were pinched out.

In order to fulfill his father's wish, he should get married and have children early.

In order not to disappoint Ai Lili, he should also marry her and have children earlier.

Ai Lili was very kind to him, and helped him when he was very difficult. She was a very kind person.

When such a relationship happened again, he couldn't let her down, and couldn't make such a kind woman sad.

Although there is desire in my heart, it is not impossible to suppress it.

He already had such a plan, and now he is in front of his father, so of course he can make his father happier if he expresses his position like this.

His statement made his father a lot happier. He calculated that his son would be able to get married in two years, and his grandson would be born in two years.

At that time, his life will be complete.

Talking about this with Yan Xin, he said with emotion: "When you get married and have children, my affairs will be over, and I don't have to worry about anything in the future. I will help you take care of your grandson in the future, and you don't have to worry about other things." .”

Yan Xin said with a smile: "Dad, I'm not talking about you, you are a big man, will you take care of your children?"

This question stunned Dad Yan.

He really doesn't have kids.

After Yan Xin was born, it was his mother who took care of the child. His father needed to do farm work to support the family, and he could only do farm work.

Basically, I have never interfered with the matter of raising children.

Yan Xin was really going to have a baby, and he would take care of it, but he didn't know how to take care of it.

I was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I can learn this."

Seeing that his father was really thinking about it, Yan Xin couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Dad, you can't learn this. But you don't have to worry, if you really want to have a baby, someone will take care of it."

What he means is that if the baby is really born, a professional nanny will definitely be hired to help take care of the baby.

Taking care of children is hard work. If you are not short of money, of course it is better to hire someone to take care of the children.

Don't talk about how much wealth he will have in the future, the wealth he has now is enough for him to hire the most professional nanny to help take care of the children. Naturally, he doesn't need to work hard for his old father.

But Yan's father misunderstood what he meant, thinking that his son's idea was to let the child's grandparents take care of him.

For him, this is not good news.

Let the grandparents take care of the grandson, and the grandson is unlikely to be close to him, who is a grandfather. Thinking about it, I feel depressed.

Said: "It's only natural for me, as a grandfather, to bring up grandchildren. You don't have to leave the child to grandpa and grandma, so that people will gossip, and the child may not think of himself as a member of our Yan family in the future."

Yan Xin didn't expect his father to think of this aspect, and wanted to explain to him, but also felt that with the salary level he disclosed now, if he said that he wanted to find a nanny to take care of the children, his father might think he was a prodigal again, and he had no confidence in the future. sense of security.

So there was no explanation, and he said with a smile: "How about this, Dad, find a partner who knows how to take care of children, then I have a child, and I can trust you old couple to take care of it."

Yan's father blushed all of a sudden, and said, "Where is this going? How did this get involved?"

"Dad, you can think about it." Yan Xin smiled.

Now that the father and son have a good relationship, it doesn't matter if they make a joke occasionally, and it can make their father and son get along more naturally.

In his previous life, even in the last few years Yan Xin understood his father's difficulty, but the relationship has reached that point, he himself is a married man, and he bears so much pressure in life, he wants to make the relationship between them It is impossible to make the relationship a little easier.

Now I don't have that kind of pressure anymore, I'm joking and joking, and quite easy-going.

Although Dad Yan felt a little embarrassed, he felt very happy to be able to talk and laugh with his son like this.

After the food was ready, they ate in the kitchen.

By the time the meal was over, it was getting dark.

This night, Yan Xin still watched TV with his father for two or three hours.

Talking while watching TV.

The mobile phone is also in your hand, and you can reply when you have a QQ message.

Three uses of one mind, and it didn't affect anything.

After nine o'clock, seeing that his father was sleepy, he left and went upstairs to his bedroom.

After returning to the bedroom, he didn't go to bed immediately, but posted a post on the travel forum of Starlight.com, and participated in the homecoming New Year theme activity held by the forum.

I sent more than a dozen photos, the ones I took when I came back, and a paragraph of text was added under each photo.

His writing skills are not enough to write novels, but it is still possible to post paragraphs of narrative texts on the forum, expressing his feelings, as long as there are no typos, it is almost the same, and no writing is needed.

It is not so convenient to post on mobile phones now. Write a paragraph of text, insert a picture, and then have to send the post.

After posting, click Edit to continue adding text descriptions and pictures to the original post.

I just posted it section by section, and when the whole post was posted, more than an hour had passed, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

By the time he finished posting the post, there were twenty or thirty replies under that post.

The popularity of the travel forum has already increased. In addition to this homecoming Chinese New Year theme event, many people who have returned to their hometown have participated. When Yan Xin posted the post, there were more than 1 people online on the forum, which is already the most popular forum on the website. one.

Once a post is posted, there will be a lot of clicks soon, even if it is a new post, the number of clicks is higher than that of popular posts on unpopular forums.

Yan Xin used a new account to post. After posting, he replied to several posts before quitting.

He just participated in this event and let Ai Lili see the photos of his hometown by posting. He didn't think about getting a ranking or how many Starlight Coins.

He doesn't need this thing.

After replying to a few posts, I changed to the account of my website director, and went to various forums to see if there were any problems.

23 I drove home from Yangcheng early in the morning, and I was busy after that, so I didn't have time to inspect various forums on the website, and I didn't know if there were any major problems.

After looking around, I didn't find any major problems, so I went to bed with peace of mind.

It was already 11:30 when I went to bed.

He went to bed late that day, and didn't wake up until after eight o'clock the next morning. It was his father who woke him up. He had already made breakfast and was about to get up to eat.

He didn't go anywhere that day, and he was still in charge of making lunch and dinner. In the morning, he followed his father to the fields for more than an hour. The father and son talked about what crops to plant next year and what fish to raise in the pond.

According to Yan Xin's idea, there is no need to grow cotton at home. Growing cotton is hard work, and you need to spray pesticides from time to time, which is not good for your health. It's better to grow some food.

Although there is not much money to be made from growing food, there is now a subsidy for growing food, so we will not lose money.

The most important thing is that now there are harvesters in the village, and it costs a hundred dollars to harvest an acre of land, so it doesn't have to be so hard.

Yan Xin knew that his father would not be free and would do some farm work if he had time, so he didn't object so much, but harvesting rice is still quite hard work, and if it can be replaced by machinery, then use machinery instead.

His family's fish pond is not big, and he can't raise many fish. In the past two years, relying on this fish pond, he can earn several hundred yuan a year, and he can keep some food for himself.

But raising fish is not easy, not to mention mowing the grass to feed the fish every day. When it rains heavily in summer, I have to worry about it. I am afraid that the fish pond will be flooded by the flood, and the fish that I have finally raised will run out.

Such a thing is not unheard of.

When it rains heavily, we need to use that kind of gauze to stop the fish from swimming to other places after the water floods the pond.

One more thing to worry about is stealing the fish.

There are fish stealers in the village. They go to other people’s fishponds at night to cast nets to drag fish, or go fishing with batteries on their backs. If you don’t watch, all the hard-earned fish will be stolen.

Yan Xin also suggested that his father raise less fish, it is best not to raise any more, and open the opening connecting the fish pond to the ditch outside, so that he can collect some wild fish a year.

You can't earn money, but it's enough to eat for yourself, so you can relax.

Dad Yan disagreed with this suggestion, thinking that it would be too wasteful for such a large fish pond to do nothing like that.

The father and son argued for a few words, and finally Yan's father agreed to Yan Xin's suggestion not to raise fish. The main reason was not that he was tired, but that he was too good at stealing fish, so it was not a problem to go to see it every day.

But this fish pond will not be abandoned there, he decided to plant lotus seeds next year.

The price of lotus seeds is pretty good now, if you come to collect the dried ones, you can sell them for a few yuan per catty, and the income is no worse than that of fish farming.

In winter, if you work harder, you can dig lotus roots, which is another income.

Moreover, even if there is no fish in the pond where lotus roots are grown, some crucian carp or something can be harvested during the Chinese New Year, which is enough for oneself to eat.

The father and son reached an agreement on this matter.

When I got home, I started preparing lunch.

In the afternoon, Yan Xin didn't go anywhere, just surfed the Internet on his mobile phone at home, browsed his own website, and chatted with a few friends on QQ from time to time.

During the period, I chatted with Chen Li for more than half an hour.

It's not about the plot of the novel, but about other things.

Chen Li said that he was going home and had a headache, what would Liang Wei do.

The home he said was not going back to the home in Baijingyuan, Yangcheng, but his hometown.

Now his place is more than 1000 kilometers away from his hometown. Now that he drives there, he can get home before the New Year, and there will be no rush on the road.

However, this time he came out with Liang Wei, and he didn't want to take Liang Wei home.

Taking her home meant admitting that she was his girlfriend, but Chen Li didn't have that idea for the time being.

He told Yan Xin directly that he didn't want to marry Liang Wei.

He admits that there are some things he likes about Liang Wei, but he doesn't think Liang Wei is a suitable candidate for his wife, and he doesn't want to get married now.

He doesn't rule out getting married and having children in the future, but he doesn't want to be bound by marriage for at least ten years, he wants to live more freely.

It's been two years since I came out, and I haven't been back home once during this period, and the relationship with my family is not so good. I suddenly came up with this idea because I read the posts on the travel forum of Xingguang.com, and wanted to see how my hometown is doing now. That's it.

Going home is just an incidental thing for him.

However, no matter how bad the relationship with the family is, bringing a woman home is acknowledging Liang Wei's identity. This is not a girlfriend, but can evolve into a fiancee.

He didn't want that.

But leaving Liang Wei on the way, I felt a little unreasonable.

So I complained to Yan Xin, and hoped that Yan Xin could help him out.

Yan Xin knew what Chen Li thought of Liang Wei, and frankly speaking, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was an irresponsible attitude.

But he didn't want to change Chen Li's mind.

Regarding Chen Li's tangled issues, he said that he could not help.

Chen Li expressed his own thoughts - find a reason to quarrel with Liang Wei, so that he can justifiably leave her on the way, and then drive back to his hometown by himself.

Yan Xin was a little surprised: "Will Liang Wei quarrel with you now?"

In his impression, Liang Wei has always behaved humblely in front of Chen Li, not like a girlfriend, but a maid—in fact, Liang Wei does this kind of work, and every month Chen Li received a salary of 1000 yuan.

Until now, Chen Li had never admitted that Liang Wei was his girlfriend.

Yan Xin didn't know whether Liang Wei herself would feel that way, but only knew that the relationship between the two was not a normal couple relationship, and their status was very unequal.

A few days ago, I heard Chen Li complain that Liang Wei was swollen, but he only said that she had different opinions in some aspects, and it did not reach the point of quarreling.

Yan Xin was a little surprised when he actually said that he was going to have a fight - a fight like this can't be done by one person, you have to have an opponent.

But with Liang Wei's cautious and pissed-off appearance, would Chen Li be able to quarrel with her?

Chen Li said angrily: "Now that her wings are hardened, she will already quarrel with me."

Then he gave an example: "I ate a tofu nao yesterday, and she quarreled with me. She said that the tofu nao must be eaten sweet. Ha ha, it's really ridiculous! Isn't the tofu nao just eaten salty? How about the sweet one? Gotta go down?"

Yan Xin was startled, he didn't expect Chen Li's big eyes to be a salty party.

Originally, I wanted to say "how to eat salty tofu nao", but I typed it out, and finally deleted it - this is his very important partner, and the dispute between salty and sweet should not make it impossible for all partners to do it.

He could still tell the difference between the light and the heavy.

There was some curiosity: "Which of you won the quarrel in the end?"

Chen Li responded very depressed: "No one won the quarrel, and in the end they didn't eat tofu."

Yan Xin: "So are you still in a state of cold war?"

Chen Li: "It was originally in a state of cold war, but it was reconciled tonight."

Then he expressed regret: "If I knew it earlier, I should restrain myself, take this opportunity to leave her here, and drive home by myself."

Yan Xin could only come up with an idea: "Why don't you order another tofu nao today."

Chen Li: "It's useless. She ordered tofu nao this morning. It's salty. She told me it was delicious."

Yan Xin couldn't help but scolded: "She is like this, you still want to throw her on the road, are you still a man?"
