Chapter 696 Dad Xiao’s sadness

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Xin was taken to several places by Xiao's father, which were all the locations of this year's new projects.

It didn't cost much to get those lands, much less than the original pickled cabbage processing factory.

But that's because the village converted the land into money and invested it.

This factory is not only an asset of Yan Xin and the Feng family, but also a share of the village collective.

Yan Xin doesn't mind the village collective's participation.

Anyway, he is not here to make money. With their participation, they will provide the most active cooperation in many things in the future. For him, it couldn't be better.

For several projects here, he just invests money and then decides how to distribute the money.

Dividends are actually not very important. The most important thing is to increase the income of local farmers and improve the wages of workers.

The social security that should be paid must be paid.

Unless those who are already very old when they enter the factory are not suitable for paying pension insurance, they will give up and then give them more subsidies on their wages.

Under such an operation, the profit margin left for investors is not large.

But if the business is well managed, there will still be some income each year. For the village, it is definitely higher than the income from selling land.

The village cadres of the other two villages also cherished this investment opportunity.

Again, this is not a question of money, but a question of channels.

It is not that difficult to build a factory like this with the efforts of a whole village.

The problem is that there is no place to sell the products produced.

If you can't sell it, you'll have to lose money.

And Yan Xin has channels to sell products.

Investing in such a factory to earn some dividends is actually just a not-so-important thing.

It is more important to bring the factory to your own village, create some jobs for the village, and increase some income for the farmers who farm the land.

Yan Xin has talked with them all and can feel that they still want to get things done.

I also have some emotions in my heart.

What can I say about the people here? They don’t have any subjective initiative. Under normal circumstances, they don’t think about finding a way out for the people, and they don’t know how to find a way out.

But when the opportunity comes, I still want to keep it and I am willing to cooperate a lot.

Some of the things they promised were as far as they could go.

There are even some promises that sound a bit dangerous—could they be suspected of betraying collective interests?
Of course, it is impossible for Yan Xin to do illegal activities for profit.

I am not that short of money. The original intention of investing in these projects is to make people rich, not to make money for myself. If I still do some illegal activities, it is purely sick.

After visiting those places, on the way back, Yan Xin told Dad Xiao this idea - you can't focus on money, pay special attention to the legality of the procedures, and don't do any illegal things for profit.

Dad Xiao was a little embarrassed and quickly assured him:
"Don't worry, I made a mistake once and I won't make it a second time."

He thought Yan Xin was ordering him.

He left the system because he was too greedy and misappropriated public funds to speculate in the stock market. As a result, he entered the stock market at the highest peak and continued to fall. He lost millions and was discovered.

If Yan Xin hadn't stepped in to help him make up for the shortfall, now he would not just leave the system, but would also have to go to jail.

This incident taught him a profound lesson, and now he no longer has those little thoughts.

It's just that he has done something like that before, and he feels guilty to a certain extent. He always suspects that others will look down on him because of this.

When Yan Xin said this, he thought he was being targeted.

Seeing his expression, Yan Xin realized in hindsight - Did I not make my words clear and let him misunderstand?

But this is not easy to explain. Things that were originally unintentional will appear to be intentional once explained, which will only make everyone more embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, I could only analyze specific matters and pointed out that the help promised by a certain village cadre seemed to be a little illegal.

He didn't know much about those laws, but he could tell which things infringed on collective interests.

Even if it complies with the regulations and takes advantage of loopholes, it is best not to do such a thing.

If you take advantage now, if you offend someone in the future, it will be revealed as a dark history, the kind that will make people irrecoverable.

There is no need to be greedy for that little advantage.

As Dad Xiao listened, he felt that the boss was not talking about him, but he was not sure.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being cautious.

Regarding Yan Xin's requirements, some of them he disagreed with, but some of them he still agreed with.

However, regardless of whether he agrees or not, the boss has spoken and he has nothing to say. He just has to implement it.

This job was given to him by Yan Xin, and this honor was also given to him by Yan Xin. He had to know what was good and what was good.

It took a long time to go out for inspection. When I sent him home, it was already dark and it was already past 7pm.

Yan Xin stayed for dinner by the way.

During the meal, Xiao's father also found out that Feng Xi was pregnant.

He said congratulations, but in his heart he thought of his daughter, following Yan Xin without any name or status, and he didn't know what the outcome would be in the future.

Thinking of this, I felt guilty and sad. I felt so sorry for my daughter.

This made his meal tasteless at all.

After eating, we didn't chat for long before we drove back to the factory.

There is his dormitory there.

After returning home, I called my daughter:
"Shishi, do you know something?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Shiyu asked him.

"Yan Xin's wife is pregnant." Dad Xiao said.

"I know." Xiao Shiyu replied.

"Do you have any ideas?" Dad Xiao asked.

Xiao Shiyu was stunned: "What are your thoughts? She is pregnant, should I have any thoughts?"

"What will you do in the future?" Dad Xiao said, "She is younger than you and is pregnant now. Shouldn't you also consider having a baby?"

"I'm not married, how can I have children?" Xiao Shiyu laughed.

Although the words were spoken with a smile, there was a hint of sadness in his voice.

She is Yan Xin's woman, but she is not his wife, and there is no way she can be his wife in this life.

You are destined to be nameless and without status for the rest of your life.

Marrying another man is basically impossible. Marrying another man is a kind of betrayal for Yan Xin.

Their relationship is not simply a relationship between a man and a woman, it also involves an exchange of interests.

Yan Xin bought her a house and a luxury car, made up for her father's misappropriation of public funds, and invested in a promising platform like Shiyu for her.

After spending so much on her, she ends up marrying another man. That is obviously immoral.

She didn't want to be that person.

Besides, she has no idea of ​​living with another man.

She couldn't imagine any other man besides Yan Xin that she could accept living with.

However, accepting this reality does not mean that you have no feelings at all about this state of being nameless and statusless.

Sometimes I still care a little.

It’s just that I don’t think about this problem under normal circumstances.

Now that her father talked about giving birth to a child, it touched the grievances deep in her heart, and she couldn't help but reveal some of them.

Dad Xiao said: "It doesn't mean that you can't have children if you don't get married. Although Yan Xin is very kind to you, you have no name or status after all. No one can guarantee that he will always be so kind to you. If you have a child, With a tie, it’s different.”

"It's okay," Xiao Shiyu said with a smile, "I'm not the kind of person who can't live without a man. One day he really doesn't want me anymore. I can live well by myself without relying on others." With men.”

She still dares to say this now.

I didn’t have that kind of confidence before, but I have it now.

Food Talk Company is a testament to her ability.

Not to mention that she still has a lot of shares in this company. Even if she leaves without taking anything with her, with this qualification, she can still find a good job and live a comfortable life.

Only with strength can you have the confidence to say such things.

"But..." Dad Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Even if you don't live by a man, it will be very hard to live when you are old and have no children or any relatives."

Xiao Shiyu was silent for a while and then said: "Let's talk about it later. I'm very busy now and don't have time to do such a thing."

"You are already in your twenties, so you are not young anymore," Xiao's father said. "Some of the female classmates who study with you are two or three years old."

"I'm only in my twenties, so there's no need to consider this issue so early," Xiao Shiyu said, "In five or six years, I'll think about it again when I'm thirty."

Dad Xiao: "But..."

"I really don't have time now," Xiao Shiyu interrupted, "The company is very busy now and has a lot of important things to do. I can't leave for a day. In this state, even if I am pregnant, , we can’t keep the pregnancy, we still have to wait until the company is on track before we can consider having children.”

Men and women are different. Women have a lot of trouble if they want to continue working after pregnancy.

No matter how healthy you are, if you are pregnant and have a baby, you will still be unable to pursue a career for at least a few months.

This is not an ordinary job for her. For now, her job is irreplaceable.

It’s not that the company can’t operate without her, but there will definitely be major problems in its operation.

You can only have children if you give up your career.

But it is obvious that she will not give up this career.

Dad Xiao tried to persuade him a few times, but when he saw that he could not be persuaded, he had no choice but to forget it.

One day later, it’s April 4th.

After breakfast that day, Yan Xin drove Feng Xi to the county seat, bought some things in the county seat, and then came back.

But instead of driving the car back to his home, he went to Feng's house.

No matter what the relationship between Feng Xi and her parents was, she had already followed him back, and she had to go back to her parents' home to have a look no matter what.

Even if it was just to give Feng Chen some face, he had to do this.

Otherwise it would be too ugly to say it out loud.

They didn't buy anything when they came back this time, and they couldn't go back to their parents' home empty-handed, so they had to go to the county town to do some shopping first.

After buying good cigarettes and wine for Feng Xi's father, a gold necklace for her mother, and some ingredients, she came to the door.

The Feng family went up the mountain to sweep the tomb a few days ago. They are a big family and they all choose a day when all the people named Feng in the village gather together to go up the mountain to sweep the tomb and worship together.

When the car drove to the door of Feng's house, it was not yet 11 o'clock. Both Feng's parents were at home. There was a mahjong table in the main room. Several women were playing mahjong there, and Feng's father was sitting on the steps outside the door. Basking in the sun.

The couple are not very old, but they no longer farm.

My son and daughter are so rich, but they don’t care about the little money from farming.

They know how to enjoy happiness better than Yan Dad.

All the land at home was given to relatives for cultivation, leaving only a fish pond and a vegetable garden. Life was very easy and there was not much work to do.

Feng Chen would send them thousands of dollars every month. With the consumption level in rural areas, the couple could never spend it all.

When the days were free, Feng's mother also developed the habit of playing mahjong.

There are still some idle people in the village, playing cards every day.

Both of them knew that their daughter and son-in-law had returned to their hometown, but they didn't know when they would come.

Now when I see this car coming and stopping, I naturally know that it is my daughter and son-in-law.

Before Yan Xin got out of the car, Feng's father had already stood up and walked over, with a smile on his face:

"You are back!"

Yan Xin got out of the car and replied with a smile: "I came back the afternoon before yesterday. I went to the cemetery to sweep the tomb yesterday morning. I followed Factory Director Xiao to several places in the afternoon. I just have time to come here today."

Opened the door in the back of the car and took out the cigarettes, alcohol, etc. that were there:
"Dad, Mom, this is for you."

Father Feng's smile became even happier.

Feng's mother also said hello to her daughter and son-in-law, but she did not get up because the card game was not over yet:
"You guys sit down first. I'll cook for you after I finish playing this game of cards."

She was also very happy when she saw the gifts sent by Yan Xin.

Especially after seeing the envious expressions on the faces of those poker players, I felt even happier.

Those poker friends all praised her son-in-law for being filial and sending so many things.

She sighed: "Oh, I know that spending money indiscriminately is not economical at all. I have told my family many times, don't be so polite, just come over and don't bring gifts, but they don't listen. Every time It’s so expensive to buy so many things.”

Feng Xi slowly got out of the car and rolled his eyes secretly.

Yan Xin carried those things into the main room and said with a smile as he walked: "Mom, just keep playing. Feng Xi and I will cook the food."

"How can that be done? Let me do it." Mother Feng was embarrassed.

Putting away the cigarettes, wine, and ingredients in his hands, he took out a gift box, walked to Mother Feng, and opened it, revealing a gold necklace:

"Mom, this is the necklace I bought for you. See if you like it."

"Oh," Mother Feng was surprised and happy, "You kid, I asked you not to spend money frivolously, but you spent it frivolously again!"
