Chapter 285 People with Dreams

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

Yan Xin pulled Feng Xi all the way up, 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 are weak."

Yan Xin categorically denied: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not weak, I am in good health."

I was dissatisfied and thought: "Three times in one night, where am I weak?"

It's just that this dazzling record cannot be compared to Feng Xi.

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

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

But he actually felt a little weak in his heart - in fact, he had cured the 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 he felt that his body was working quite well.

Feng Xi stopped arguing with him and followed him down the river embankment towards the hill where Yan Xin lived.

When he reached the river embankment, Yan Xin discovered that he was walking in the river and taking photos, and unknowingly he had walked more than half a mile in the direction of Feng Xi's house.

After going some distance, we will almost reach her house.

No wonder I can see Feng Xi here, almost at the door of his house.

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

You can even see the tangerine tree behind her house, but now that the weather is cold, all the oranges on the tree have been picked, and there are no oranges in sight.

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

There are about ten houses in a row, among which Yan Xin's house is the most conspicuous.

One year in the 1990s, the embankment broke and floods poured into the village. The houses under the embankment were flooded, but those living on the mountain were still fine.

Feng Xi's house was built after the flood that year. Because the original adobe house was washed away by the water, the government subsidized part of the money and he contributed part of the money, and then the red brick house was built.

That year, Yan Xin's house was not destroyed, so they could not receive the government's housing subsidy for disaster victims.

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

"What do you think?" Yan Xin asked.

"It looks pretty from the outside, but I don't know what it's like inside. You have to go there and take a look to find out," Feng Xi said.

The two of them were talking and walking. When passing by Yan Xin's fish pond, Feng Xi asked: "Have you sold your fish this year? Have you left any food for the New Year?"

"I kept it and kept it in the pond behind my house." Yan Xin replied.

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

Feng Xi rolled his eyes and said, "That's right. When I went home last time to see how well your house was built, I saw your dad throwing grass into the fish pond."

Yan Xin said oh and didn't say anything.

When the two of them 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 is land on both sides of the road, patches of land of different heights.

On such a not steep slope, Feng Xi also said that he could no longer walk. He followed Yan Xin and stretched out his hand:

"Yan Xin, I can't climb this slope anymore. Please pull me up."

We were almost home here, and Yan Xin didn't want to get involved with her. He quickly took a few steps forward, distanced himself from her, and said, "I have to walk even if I can't walk anymore. I don't have the strength anymore."

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

She also quickened her pace to hold Yan Xin back.

But Yan Xin didn't want her to hold him back, so when he saw her following him, he ran faster.

The two of them chased each other, and within two 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 don't even want to pull me!"

Yan Xin said seriously: "For such a big man, he should learn to walk upright."

The two people were talking, which alerted Yan's father who was cleaning up behind the house.

When I heard that my son was talking to a girl, I quickly put down my phone and saw a girl who looked a little familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that she was a girl from the Feng family in Group 6, who lived by the river embankment. She came to our house for dinner last year and even cooked a meal herself. Her cooking skills were quite good.

Then he said hello with a smile on his face and thought to himself: "Is it because the Feng family has no money to repay, so they want to use this daughter to pay off the debt?"

That's really the case, which is pretty good.

When Feng Xi saw Yan's father coming out, he stood up straight and said "Hello, Uncle Yan". He looked more reserved.

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

Building."

Father Yan was surprised - the Feng family had borrowed 10,000 yuan from him some time ago, saying they wanted to buy a house for their son in Yangcheng.

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

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 laborer. One has bought a house in a big city, and the other can only build a house in the countryside. The gap is not ordinary.

of big.

I didn’t expect that people not only bought a house, but also planned to build a house like this in two years. This is amazing.

It sounds like his future is much greater than that of his son.

Yan Xin said this to explain why Feng Xi followed.

Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable to bring a girl who is only two years younger than me to my home without a reason.

He didn't want any scandal to spread.

Feng Xi did not refute his statement.

Then Yan Xin took Feng Xi around from the kitchen.

The kitchen was only built a month or two ago, but due to burning firewood, the painted walls have already been yellowed by smoke. It won't take long for them to become 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 father has been poor all his life, so he would be reluctant to use electricity or gas."

Feng Xi pouted and said, "If it were my parents, they would definitely be willing to do it."

Yan Xin smiled.

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

Anyway, from what he learned in his previous life, Feng Xi's parents didn't care much about their daughter.

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

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

If it were Yan's father, and if Yan Xin had the possibility of going to college, he would do anything to support his son's education, and he would continue to do so no matter how hard and tiring he was.

He knew very well what kind of life Dad 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 both farmers. The two of them working together can earn more in a year than Yan's father can earn by himself.

As for the money that can be saved, it's even worse.

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

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

Among children, they are more willing to give to their sons and more willing to ask for things from their daughters.

When Feng Xi said this, she was not praising her parents, but complaining about them.

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 frugal and could live a better life.

He didn't want his father to look malnourished just to save a few bucks.

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

He hopes that his father will 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 ideas of the older generation are different from ours, and they have to change slowly. The main reason for being so frugal is that they are afraid of being poor. You have to make them feel that their family is already rich.

Once he gets up, you have to give him a sense of security, and then his consumption concept will slowly change."

It is not that Yan Xin has never thought about the issue of security.

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

He can only tell his father step by step like now that he has made money, his life is better, and he no longer needs to live as frugally as before.

But based on the income he fabricated, building this house would indeed result in some shortfalls, and naturally there would be no way for his father to feel financially secure.

As Feng Xi said, you can only do it slowly.

Next year, he will tell his dad that he has paid off the debt, and by the way, he will tell his dad that his salary has been raised again. The year after that, he will tell his dad how much money he has saved. This should slowly change things.

Otherwise, I would still be quite anxious.

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

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

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

Thinking of this, my brows furrowed.

Feng Xi looked at his expression and whispered beside him:

"It's okay. It will get better gradually. Changing one's habits is not that easy."

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

Feng Xi added: "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 this because the previous generation of people in this village were most worried about their children's marriage. To be more precise, they were worried about their sons marrying wives.

The poorer the place, the more serious this problem is.

Because everyone knows that marrying a wife costs a lot of money.

In this village, in recent years, no matter which family takes a wife, they will be ruined.

It's easy to bankrupt your family, but more importantly, you have to borrow a large amount of money to marry your daughter-in-law.

Raising a daughter doesn't have that much of a headache, and you can basically earn some gift money.

People who raise sons often start to have headaches when they are teenagers.

What Feng Xi said is true.

Just when he said this fact, Feng Xi also had other thoughts, and his eyes when looking at Yan Xin became a little urgent.

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

I thought to myself: "It seems that I need to discuss the marriage with Lily. It would be best to wait until I turn twenty-two, then go get the certificate from her, get married and have children in one go, so that my dad won't worry."

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: "So, do you have such a marriage partner in mind?"

Yan Xin originally wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, he couldn't irritate this student girl who was about to take the college entrance examination, so he denied it:

"No, I'm busy with my career right now, so how can I be in the mood to think about this?"

What he said was fair and righteous, but his heart was filled with falsehoods.

Feng Xi said: "Actually, you can consider it, but you can't consider that you are too young or the age difference is too big. When you reach the legal age for marriage, but the other party has not reached that age, then it will not be suitable. You are twenty years old now

, you can consider being eighteen years old. When you are twenty-two years old and your partner is twenty years old and has reached the legal age for marriage, you can get married earlier."

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

He also analyzed it carefully for Yan Xin:

"It's best to find someone who knows everything about each other and is close to each other. Both families can take care of each other. They are both in the same life circle and grew up in a similar environment. It is easier for each other to understand many things and there will be no differences.

Cultural differences. As for your career, it’s best to find someone who has the same goals and can help you with your career.”

Yan Xin turned his face to the side, rolled his eyes where Feng Xi couldn't see him, and thought to himself: "You might as well show your ID card."

I could only pretend that I didn't hear it, and said "hmm" twice, "What you said makes sense, I will consider this aspect."

Feng Xi said so much, but felt that the direction was too obvious, and 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 a bedroom where his father lives, a living room, which is called the main room here, a guest room, and a storage room.

On a table in his father's bedroom, there is a pile of things that Yan Xin brought from Yangcheng. There are cigarettes, wine, snacks, and some ingredients, such as beef balls, sausages, dried squid and so on.

.

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

Such a big table is already full and piled up like a hill.

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

Feng Xi also smiled: "I must be reluctant to let go."

Yan Xin glanced at her and felt a little strange: "Your tone is so determined, as if you are familiar with my dad."

Feng Xi said: "Your dad is diligent and thrifty. Who in the village doesn't know that? And don't say that your dad is reluctant to buy these things. Even my dad is reluctant to buy them."

This explanation was 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, so you probably don't like it either. Why did you buy so much?"

"I go to my relatives' houses to pay New Year greetings and feed them to their children during the Chinese New Year." Yan Xin said helplessly.

Feng Xi snorted: "Do your relatives need to give such good gifts?"

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

When his family was in difficulty, his relatives provided very little help. They gave him 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.

In this life, he became more promising, and some relatives came over to show their goodwill.

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

When his father passed away, he called more than a dozen companies, but in the end only a few relatives came, simply because they lived too close and it would be embarrassing not to come.

Among the families who came, some of them criticized and ridiculed the couple 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 thinking, those relatives don't have to leave. They have no family ties in the first place and will not bring any benefits to themselves. There is no need to look at that face.

But Yan's father didn't think so. He still wanted to stay with those relatives.

Yan Xin also understood what he was thinking, which was that he was worried that he would be at a disadvantage if he had no one to help him in the future.

This is the clan concept of the older generation. They always feel that if relatives are around, no matter how bad the relationship is, others will be a little wary.

There was no way he could tell his father this.

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

Even if those relatives are snobbish, as long as they don't harm his family in this life, let them follow their snobbishness.

It would be a good thing to make his father feel more 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 had no relatives in this area, and his family built this small villa, and his father was alone at home, there was no telling 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 this morning. They tasted quite good. We don't sell them here. Just give me these two boxes. I'll give them back to you how much you spent."

Yan Xin waved his hand at her: "Take it if you like it. How much do you want?"

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

Yan Xin was originally going to give these chocolates to 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 - they are children now, and they will be adults more than ten years later.

He also remembered what kind of person he was, and there was nothing to like about him.

Just to earn face for his father, it doesn't matter if he spends a little money to buy something that is considered a luxury here.

However, Feng Xi said she likes to eat.

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. Take a look at what else you like to eat, you can take it away."

Feng Xi looked around at all the snacks and was quite excited.

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

Yan Xin bought a total of six boxes of chocolates, spending hundreds of dollars. Feng Xi had taken away one box before, and now there are five boxes left.

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

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

Yan Xin's bedroom is on the second floor. Although he has not lived there for a day, it is still neat and tidy.

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

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

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

Looking at each room one by one, Feng Xi clicked his tongue: "Yan Xin, you really know how to enjoy building such a nice house."

This is on the second floor. There is no need to worry about Yan's father hearing it. Yan Xin also relaxed and said: "Of course you have to enjoy it if you have money. If it is still so hard, why do you make money?"

Feng Xi said depressedly: "But I'm still working very hard. It's hard to spend money even if I have it. The study tasks are still so heavy. Sometimes I really want to stop studying. Anyway, I can live a good life relying on 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 get into a good university.

At that time, he felt that only by getting admitted to a good university could he change Feng Xi's destiny.

But I didn't expect that Feng Xi would be so powerful in this life. He started doing business to make money when he was a student. Now he has opened three online stores, which are getting bigger and bigger, and he has several million in savings.

The value of the three online stores is even more difficult to estimate.

Just relying on those three online stores, I don’t have to worry about food and drink 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 business development opportunities. This was something he didn't understand.

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

Feng Xi said: "I sometimes think about it, now that I have reached this point, why should I study? With my current financial conditions, I can live a very comfortable life."

As he said that, he sighed again: "But if I stop studying, or if I study but don't get into a good university, how should I explain to my brother? My brother gave up his re-study in order to support me in studying.

Opportunity, go to the construction site to move bricks, just to let

I studied hard and got into a good university. Then I told him that I didn’t want to study anymore and that I was going to fail. What would he think? He would be very disappointed, right? He was so kind to me and did everything for me.

After giving so much, I can't live up to his expectations."

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

But he had to admit that Feng Chen, the older brother, was really kind to his sister. Although Feng Xi was much richer than Feng Chen now, Feng Chen didn't know it himself and wanted to make more money so that his sister could

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 place his hope on Feng Xi.

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

Feng Xi added: "Besides, I also want to see higher places. 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 ambitions.

Yan Xin remembered that the girl in front of her also had a college dream in her previous life. When she first came out to work, she taught herself the courses of the second and third grade of high school, hoping to earn enough money to study through her hard work and return to school.

But later that dream was shattered.

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

It’s good 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 get into a good university and have a better development platform and greater development."

Feng Xi smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, if I have better development opportunities, I will take you to develop together."
