Chapter 348 Project Restart

Author: Hometown Three Thousand Miles

Yan Xin will return to Yangcheng tomorrow and does not have much time to deal with this matter slowly.

What Bai Xiaoling said in the morning also made him feel the same. For his father, he will be old in a few years and will not have much time to dwell on it, so he must make a decision earlier.

This decision does not mean that we will get married immediately. That would be too childish. No matter how anxious we are, we cannot do that.

However, you need to decide whether to deal with it or not.

If you want to find a partner, you can try to get along with each other, so that you can have a chance to understand whether the other person is suitable for you.

If you can't even make this determination, then forget it, there is no need to delay others.

So he asked the question directly.

This question stunned Father Yan.

After a while, he said: "Why do you ask this?"

"I just want to know your opinion and whether it is necessary to get to know each other with her mother." Yan Xin said.

Dad Yan actually thought about this problem last night.

Finding a partner has the benefits of finding a partner, but it also comes with some troubles.

After Yan Xin persuaded him yesterday, he also felt that living alone in the next few decades would be a bit difficult and full of misery.

Finding a partner seems to solve a lot of problems.

The original knot in my mind has been let go, but now I am mainly troubled by not being sure whether I can find a partner who will make my life more comfortable in the future, or someone who will make my life more annoying.

Based on what he has seen over the years, combined families are in a lot of troubles and have all kinds of troubles.

There is such a family in the village, and there are also families in neighboring villages, but they are not as good as expected.

Meeting a virtuous woman will indeed make your future life more comfortable.

But the probability of this is not high.

Just like a woman wants to meet a good man, the chances are equally low.

In reality, most people are selfish, and the difference lies in the degree of selfishness.

Some want some face, some don't want any face at all.

There are also many problems with the children of both parties.

When he thought about the trouble that might befall him, Dad Yan didn't want to talk about it anymore.

However, when I think about living alone in the countryside when I grow old, I feel quite scared.

——In fact, it doesn’t have to be until he gets old. Even now, sometimes he feels quite lonely.

However, asking him to go to the city to live with his son will make him feel that he is a useless person and a burden to his son. The thought of such a life makes him even more frightened - in his mind, it is even more terrifying than being alone.

Life in the countryside is even scarier.

At least this village is a familiar place to him, and the neighbors are all familiar to him. Here he can support himself.

Going to the city and thinking of the cars coming and going on the streets gave him a sense of fear.

The closed house in the concrete forest made him feel more like a prison cell.

There is another fear in my heart - if I become useless and can only be supported by my son, will my son still recognize him as his father?

Although his son behaves very well and is quite filial now, since he was a child, he has seen so many sons being unfilial to their parents and not wanting to support the elderly, and he is really afraid.

He knew how humble and fearful some old people were in front of their sons and daughters-in-law when they got old.

Yan Xin has been able to earn a lot of money, but he is still working hard and using his labor in exchange for a meager income. Some of his thoughts are that he hopes to have the ability to support himself, so that his life in old age will be more dignified.

.

Don't blame him for thinking too much. At this age, he has seen so many things and endured so many hardships. He thinks more than young people, and also thinks more than those who have always lived in happiness.

Some people are really not optimistic about the future.

It feels like any choice has its advantages and disadvantages.

Whether it had more benefits or more disadvantages, he couldn't decide for a while.

If you meet a virtuous woman, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.

But he doubted that he could have such good luck after a life of misery.

Yan Xin now asked him for his opinion, and he didn't know how to answer.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I want to think about it."

"Dad, you have been thinking about it for several months," Yan Xin said with a wry smile, "People also have their own lives. If you don't have that awareness, they may have to find another family. Maybe you will decide after you have thought about it.

After talking to her, she has become a member of someone else's family."

Father Yan whispered: "That's nothing..."

She is not his woman, and she has never talked to him about her. Being someone else's woman will naturally not cause any ripples in his heart.

Yan Xin said: "Actually, I think Bai Xiaoling's mother is quite good. She has similar experiences to you. She is not a troublemaker, and she is also diligent and thrifty. If you can be with her and have each other to rely on, I will be here."

You can feel more at ease outside."

Dad Yan nodded: "She is a good woman, but her life is not good."

Suddenly he sighed.

This is thinking of myself.

His life is not good either.

"Why don't you think about it?" Yan Xin asked with a smile.

"What are you so anxious about?" Dad Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, others might get there first." Yan Xin used the words Bai Xiaoling used to scare him to scare his father. "In the past, because they had to support Bai Xiaoling's education, others did not dare to talk to her. Now Bai Xiaoling has graduated from high school.

No more this

If you have a burden, then a lot of people will take it. It’s not like you don’t know how many divorced men and unmarried old bachelors we have here. For people like her, as long as they don’t have a burden, a lot of people will take it. You

If you think about it too late, it will be none of your business."

Dad Yan hesitated a little.

He had no idea at first, but when Yan Xin told him, he thought it would be okay to start a family with Bai Xiaoling's mother. In the past few years, he had never heard of any bad rumors about that woman. A woman was supporting a family.

, it’s really excellent.

Nowadays, it is not easy for men to find a partner, but it is quite easy for women to find a partner.

If he misses this woman, he may never find a more suitable one.

——His world is very small, mainly this village.

And in this village, if I think about it carefully, there seems to be only one suitable person.

It seems that it would be okay to get in touch and learn about it.

But I refused so simply before and now I agree, which is quite shameless.

Even in front of his son, he felt it was quite shameful to change his tune like this.

Seeing his hesitation, Yan Xin smiled and said: "If you have no objection, I will go to the matchmaker in the afternoon and ask her to help me talk about it?"

Dad Yan was very embarrassed: "How can a son find a matchmaker for his father?"

"There's no rule saying you can't do this." Yan Xin said.

Father Yan said nothing.

"Then I did this?" Yan Xin asked again.

Dad Yan was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "You can do whatever you want."

"Okay, it's settled." Yan Xin said.

If you don't object, that means you agree.

Although this does not mean success, it is at least a step in the direction of success.

——Without contact, you will never succeed.

Yan Xin also enjoyed the lunch meal very happily.

Before eating, he also deliberately took a few photos.

This is a table of rice prepared by myself, so I must take a photo as a souvenir.

If two people eat eight dishes, they will definitely not be able to finish them all, and the rest will be put in the refrigerator.

After eating, I rested for half an hour.

Taking out his mobile phone, Feng Xi and Aili both sent him messages.

Ellie had already arrived home, and told him that her mother asked him why he didn't come with her to celebrate the festival, and then told him how she explained it.

Her mother asked her to take him there the next weekend, and she asked Yan Xin if she could agree to this request.

Yan Xin was quite disgusted with her mother, but he couldn't refuse such a request - after his physical affair, he felt very guilty towards Ellie and had a strong desire to compensate her.

So I readily agreed.

And the message Feng Xi sent him was to complain that her mother made her work as soon as she came home. She had to do all the killing of chickens and fish, and she had to do the cooking, and she had to lend her two ears to listen to her mother's chatter.

Nao.

She expressed that she was very annoyed, and said that if she had known this, she would not have come back for the holidays, so she would have just stayed in the county town.

She also said that she originally wanted to go see Yan Xin in the afternoon, but then her mother arranged for her to go weeding in the cotton field in the afternoon, which made her extremely depressed.

Yan Xin comforted her while chatting with Aili again.

He felt a lot more relaxed - Feng Xi couldn't come in the afternoon, so he didn't have to worry about his phone being checked and could chat with Ai Lili without worry.

However, the chat with these two girls did not last long because he had something to do in the afternoon.

After half an hour, we ended the chat and went to do our own business.

That is to find Matchmaker Wang, who came here last year to marry Bai Xiaoling's mother and his father, and ask her to restart the project.

He didn't go empty-handed, he brought a pair of wine over.

Matchmaker Wang's family lives in another group, just two or three miles away.

When Yan Xin passed by, Matchmaker Wang was surprised and didn't know what his purpose was.

After hearing what Yan Xin explained, he couldn't help but laugh: "I've heard of fathers looking for matchmakers for their sons. This is the first time I've seen a son looking for a matchmaker for a father."

Yan Xin laughed and said, "My dad is thin-skinned and is too embarrassed to talk about his affairs in person, so I am the only son here."

Matchmaker Wang sighed: "No one else's children want a stepmother, but you took the initiative to find one for your father. You are such a filial child."

Yan Xin said: "Now the family is not so difficult. Seeing that my dad is still alone, I feel a little uncomfortable. I still hope that he can live a better life. I need Aunt Wang to help with this matter."

To form a family, it is not necessary for a matchmaker to make peace.

The main reason is that Matchmaker Wang originally mentioned this matter, but was rejected by Yan’s father.

If I start a family with someone else in the future, that's fine.

But it would be very difficult to form a family with Bai Xiaoling's mother and bypass the matchmaker.

This is like a tenant finding a house he likes from an agent, telling the agent that he doesn't like it, and then bypassing the agent to sign a contract with the landlord. This is very unkind.

If Matchmaker Wang finds out, there will definitely be trouble.

When a matchmaker brokers a marriage, she needs to get benefits, not only money, but also various gifts, all of which are indispensable.

Yan Xin asked her to restart the project this time to avoid future troubles.

It was very worthwhile for him to give up some of his external possessions in exchange for peace.

He promised Matchmaker Wang that if the matter was settled, he would give her a red envelope worth 666 yuan and buy her a pair of leather shoes.

He also revealed to Matchmaker Wang that both parties had that intention, and that he and Bai Xiaoling, as their children, also supported it, saying that the marriage would not be difficult.

This also made Matchmaker Wang very happy. She felt that this was just picking up money, so she readily agreed.

After leaving Matchmaker Wang's house, Yan Xin returned to his own home.

His father was working in the fields, and he went down to the fields with a hoe to help his father hoe for an hour or two before returning home to prepare dinner.

Dinner is quite simple, just take out two of the leftover dishes from lunch and heat them up.

The rest will be eaten tomorrow.

During dinner, Yan Xin told his father what he had said to Matchmaker Wang in the afternoon.

Having reached this point, even if Dad Yan regrets it, it is too late - regretting will only make his son look ugly.

Besides, he wasn't prepared to go back on his words.

Then you have to accept it.

That night, when Yan Xin and Feng Xi were chatting, they mentioned this matter.

Feng Xi is from this village, so such a thing cannot be hidden from her.

Since he can't hide it, it's better to tell him earlier, so as to show the importance of Feng Xi in his mind.

Feng Xi had no objection to this matter, but just replied: "This is good. Bai Xiaoling's mother is a person who knows how to live a good life. If she really succeeds, it won't be a bad thing for your father."

Seeing Feng Xi's reply, Yan Xin was very happy: "I think so too. It's not easy for my dad to be alone these years."

Feng Xi asked another question: "If this happens, wouldn't you and Bai Xiaoling become half-brothers and sisters?"

Yan Xin: "That's true."

Feng Xi became happy: "Then she will call me sister-in-law from now on."

Yan Xin felt a little guilty - he had not yet decided who he would marry in the future.

But at this time he could only reply: "It is necessary."

As usual, when chatting with Feng Xi on QQ, Yan Xin was also chatting with Aili.

It was already night, and there was no chance that Feng Xi would come to him to check his mobile phone, so he could chat with confidence.

However, he would set off tomorrow morning, and he would set off in the car with Feng Xi, so before going to bed, Yan Xin deleted the chat page between him and Aili.

One more thing he did before going to bed was to set the alarm clock for six o'clock.

When the alarm clock rang, he didn't delay in bed. He got up quickly, went to the toilet first, then washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

By this time, his father had already gone out to collect the lobsters in the cage, so he could only make breakfast by himself.

It was quite simple. He just made a bowl of noodles using the eel slices he had not finished yesterday. He didn't know when his father would come back, and the noodles would not be good after being left for a long time, so he prepared his own breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, it was already six forty.

Feng Xi sent him a message: "Have you left? I have already set off."

The time was still five minutes ago.

Her place is farther from the road, so we have to start much earlier.

Yan Xin replied: "We are about to leave."

After replying this message, he walked out the door.

The door to the house was closed and unlocked, and his father would not come too late. There were people in the neighbors, so there was no need to lock the door.

He didn't even bring a bag and just set off.

When we arrived at Laizi's canteen, the shuttle bus to the county seat hadn't arrived yet.

But we didn't have to wait long before the minibus drove over.

If you miss this train, you have to wait until it reaches the county seat, then come back from the county seat, and then go to the county seat again.

If you miss it, it will only take two or three hours.

So you have to go early.

After getting on the bus, Yan Xin sent a message to Feng Xi:

"I'm already in the car."

Feng Xi quickly replied: "I heard a car barking."

There were not many people on the bus at this time, and there were still some free seats. Yan Xin chose a seat next to the aisle, and there was an empty seat inside, which he left for Feng Xi.

After driving for a while, I saw Feng Xi standing on the roadside waiting for the bus.

After Feng Xi got in the car, she saw him, smiled on her face, walked towards him, and sat down politely inside, the two of them sitting side by side.

Some people in the car were surprised, but they just looked at it twice and no one said anything.

The car started moving again, Feng Xi leaned against Yan Xin and asked in a low voice:

"Did you miss me?"

There were other people in the car. Yan Xin was embarrassed to say something too ambiguous, but he couldn't deny it and could only reply to her in a low voice:

"That's necessary."

Feng Xi smiled happily.

Then he said: "It's tiring to wait in the city for your evening bus. Why don't you get off with me at the county seat, stay for half a day, and then set off in the afternoon?"

There is a place that sells train tickets in the county, right at Gongnongqiao. Yan Xin bought the train ticket to Yangcheng there before going home. It is a sleeper at night. He can lie in the car all night and get the best results the next morning.

can be reached.

It only takes more than an hour to get to the city by bus, so there is really no need to go so early.

Yan Xin knew that she wanted to spend more time with him, and he did not object to staying with her for a while, so he nodded in agreement:

"I thought so too."

So, when the car arrived at the county town, the two of them got off the bus together, and then went directly to the house that was used as a dormitory.

——At this time, all the employees living in the dormitory have gone to work, and there will be no one in the dormitory.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Yan Xin got on the bus to the city and left the county town.

To be fair, he could also feel happy when he was with Feng Xi.

Seeing Feng Xi happy, he could also feel happy.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that he had to worry about being checked by Feng Xi all the time.

That's what it means to be a thief with a guilty conscience.

When he arrived at the dormitory, he took the opportunity to go to the toilet and checked his phone. He saw a message from Ai Lili, saying that he had left for Yangcheng. He asked him if he had left and when would he arrive?

Yan Xin replied: "The evening bus will arrive tomorrow morning."

Then the chat page was deleted.

But before he put down his phone, he received another message from Ellie: "Okay, I got it, I'll wait for you to come back, husband."

Yan Xin was frightened by this news and did not dare to reply, so he quickly deleted it.

Fortunately, Ellie didn't send any more messages after that.

During this period, Feng Xi also used his mobile phone to look at the photos and videos on his mobile phone. He also pretended to look at the message list on his QQ casually and found nothing fishy.

Pass through danger.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon, when he got on the bus to the city, that Yan Xin replied to Aili: "We will meet tomorrow morning, and I am very excited thinking about this."

Ellie: "Me too."

At this time, Yan Xin could finally chat with Ai Lili with confidence.

At the same time, I was chatting with Feng Xi.

I got on the train in the evening, and the chat with the two girls continued. As long as there was a signal, we continued chatting until about ten o'clock in the evening.

However, after waking up the next morning, Yan Xin silently deleted the chat page with Feng Xi.

Now he doesn't have to worry about Feng Xi checking his phone. What he worries about is Ai Lili checking his phone.
