Reborn since 2005

Chapter 5 Like a Man

After Yan Xin's persuasion, his father finally agreed not to plant double-cropping rice in the future.

Yan's father was not particularly surprised that his son suddenly became so sensible. He just expressed emotion that his son had grown up.

There is also a little regret - if this son had become sensible earlier and could study seriously in junior high school, he might even be able to get into college.

That's called getting out.

This can also comfort your wife’s spirit in heaven.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head again, feeling bitter - even if his son really got admitted to college, where would he borrow money to pay for his tuition?

In this era, it is still very difficult for rural families to support a college student.

Especially in his family's situation, there is nowhere to borrow money.

In the next few days, Yan Xin would help his father with some farm work every day.

He doesn't have much time to work in the fields, but he cooks three meals a day.

The weather was too hot, and his father was reluctant to let his son work too hard, so cooking was quite suitable.

Yan Xin didn't know much about cooking when he was this age in his previous life. Later he went out to work and slowly learned to cook for himself. His cooking skills were not very good, but they were okay. At least they were more delicious than the food his father cooked.

Some.

His father is a rough guy, and his requirement for food is that he can eat it, and he can do whatever it takes to save trouble.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning that day, Yan Xin was washing vegetables in the kitchen when he heard someone calling his name outside:

"Yan Xin, are you at home?"

The voice sounded familiar. When I walked out, I saw that it was Feng Chen who had attempted suicide a few days ago.

There is something strange: "What do you want from me?"

Although they were classmates from elementary school to junior high school, they were not in the same production team. They just knew each other and had no friendship. They had never visited each other before, so he asked this question.

Feng Chen was a little embarrassed and said: "What, didn't you save me a few days ago? My mother asked me to invite you to my house for dinner and said thank you."

Both of them knew what the real situation was about jumping into the river and rescuing people, so he felt a little embarrassed.

But at that time, he really didn't want to live anymore. Without Yan Xin, he had become a dead man.

He said that Yan Xin saved him and there was nothing wrong with him.

But the subsequent jumping into the river was purely a drama to cope with public opinion, to prove that he was not pretending to commit suicide to threaten his family.

Yan Xin was very surprised: "It's been a few days since this happened, and you just remembered to ask me to eat today. Is your reflex arc so long?"

"Well," Feng Chen felt even more embarrassed, "A fish died in my fish pond today..."

Yan Xin curled his lips.

It would be very insincere to invite someone to a meal without meat or vegetables.

I didn't ask him to come over for dinner a few days ago, probably because I couldn't bear to prepare meat dishes.

I picked up a dead fish today, which can be regarded as a meat dish, so I took care of it.

I thought to myself: "She is so stingy, she is indeed the mother-in-law I am familiar with..."

He shook his head and said, "I won't go."

Feng Chen quickly explained: "The fish has just died and is still fresh. There is still blood flowing when it is pricked."

"It doesn't matter if the fish is fresh or not," Yan Xin pointed to the kitchen, "I'm washing vegetables and about to make lunch. My dad is working outside and pointed at my meal. I'm going to your house for dinner. My dad

Aren’t you going to be hungry?”

Feng Chen wanted to say, "Then ask your dad to come and eat with us," but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

It's not that he couldn't bear to buy an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, but the reason for inviting him to dinner was to thank Yan Xin for saving him from committing suicide by jumping into the river. However, it was embarrassing to say that he jumped into the river, and it was even more embarrassing to say that he didn't die after jumping into the river.

, he doesn’t want more people to know.

If Yan Xin's father is also called over, everyone in the publicity department will probably know about it, and then he will not be able to stay in this village in the future.

Then he made a sound and said: "Okay then, come to my house for a meal when you are free."

Yan Xin said yes and agreed.

But I was thinking in my heart: "Spare me, I don't want to see your parents' faces again in this life."

Feng Chen was about to go back. He turned around before taking a step, and turned back again. He asked Yan Xin embarrassedly: "You didn't tell anyone about my jumping into the river, right?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "Why do I say this?"

Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, please don't tell others this, otherwise I will really be embarrassed to see others."

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Yan Xin smiled.

Then he asked curiously: "Does your dad know about this?"

"knew."

"Then what was his reaction?"

"He..." Feng Chen's expression was a little complicated, "He said he wanted me to repeat my studies for another year..."

Yan Xin couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, you got what you wanted. I'll just say it, don't think about it, don't you just think about it?"

This is understandable.

After all, my son threatened death and actually chose to jump into the river. If I want to save my son, I have to allow him to repeat his studies.

However, Feng Chen said: "I refused."

When he said this, there was some sadness in his eyes, and he seemed reluctant to refuse.

Yan Xin was stunned: "Why? Don't you just want to repeat the study?"

"My family doesn't have that much money," Feng Chen said depressedly. "My father said that only one of my sister and I can study. My sister said that she would not study anymore and would give me the opportunity and she would go work."

For me to study."

He asked Yan Xin: "As an elder brother, can I allow my sister to sacrifice her studies to support me, a person who failed the college entrance examination? Can I allow my sister to go out to work at the age of sixteen to support me in my studies?"

"So you refused?" Yan Xin was a little surprised.

"Yes, I refused," Feng Chen said, "I told my dad that I would not continue studying. I would go out to work to support my sister's studies. She also has good academic performance and has a chance to be admitted to university."

Yan Xin has always looked down on Feng Chen, feeling that this man was not responsible at all. He failed the college entrance examination and committed suicide by jumping into the river, dragging the whole family into the abyss. If he had not wanted to repay Feng Xi for taking care of his father in his previous life, he would not have stopped him.

suicide.

Even though I saved his life, I still looked down on him in my heart.

But now that I heard Feng Chen say this, I have a good impression of him - at least the choice he made now is quite manly, and he knows how to dedicate himself to his sister.

Looking at Feng Chen, there was some warmth in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Okay, like a man."

Feng Chen said unconvinced: "I am a man to begin with!"

He was able to make such a choice, giving up the opportunity to repeat his studies to fulfill his sister's needs. Part of the reason was that he felt that as an older brother, he should do this, and part of the reason was because his sister voluntarily gave up the opportunity to study to fulfill his own needs and said she wanted to go.

Working part-time to support his education made him feel extremely guilty.

A few days ago, Feng Xi saw him crying when he committed suicide by jumping into the river, which was deeply engraved in his heart.

His sister is so kind to him, so he can't be selfish, otherwise he will be looked down upon.

Now Yan Xin looks at him differently, which also strengthens his determination - he must be a good brother who protects his sister.

Yan Xin patted him on the shoulder: "After finishing the double robbery, I am also going to go out to work. Then we will be together."
