The next morning, Chen Fan said hello to Chen Meng,

Then continue on the road.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two finally returned to Tongcheng County.

Chen Fan's hometown is not far from the county seat, three or four kilometers away.

Although there are now roads connecting the villages, there are no buses to the villages.

Chen Fan asked Su Ruzhen to go to the county seat to find a hotel to stay in, and wait for his news at any time.

Then he stopped a motorbike and drove home.

"Fan University, I'm back."

The driver of the motorcycle is also from the same village, called Ermazi.

When he was in his thirties, he didn't go out to work, so he opened a store at the intersection of the county seat and the village.

While selling things, I send them off by the way.

Remember the URL

Sitting on Er Mazi's motorcycle, Chen Fan paid attention to everything in front of him.

Tongcheng is still the same Tongcheng, but he is no longer the Chen Fan he used to be.

The feeling of coming back this time is very different, and I have a different feeling in my heart than before.

The fields along the road are overgrown with thatch, and the former farmland has long been deserted.

Nowadays very few people farm, and young people have gone out to work or moved to the city.

Only the lonely old people were left.

Back in the village, Chen Fan paid fifteen yuan, and Er Mazi turned around and went back.

Chen Fan came to the door with his bag on his back, "Dad, Mom-"

My mother heard a voice coming out of the house, "Chen Fan, are you back?" ”

Chen Fan put the bag at home, "What about Dad?" ”

"He's going to the county seat today."

"Oh, what about my sister?"

"Your sister hasn't come back from her trip to the same school."

Looking at everything at home, Chen Fan was full of thoughts.

The family house is still a former adobe house, and although it has two floors, it is extremely old.

Everyone has built small villas, and the ground in Chen Fan's house is all soil, and he hasn't even wiped the cement.

Chen Fan looked at such a depressed family environment in his own family, and wondered how to talk to his parents.

After a while, there was a car horn at the door.

Chen Fan walked out and took a look, it turned out that his sister Chen Juan came back in her classmate's car.

She was joined by four other male and female classmates.

The male classmate parked a fifty-percent new Hyundai on the side of the road and deliberately showed off the key in his hand.

Seeing this, my mother hurriedly greeted several of Chen Juan's classmates.

"Brother, are you back?"

The three classmates also sat at the door, and the mother poured tea and took some melon seeds out.

The male classmate who drove the car put the car keys on the table and asked Chen Fan, "How did you get in?" Walking? ”

"Why don't you tell us in advance so I can pick you up."

Chen Fan said no, I'll take a motorcycle.

"Oh!"

"You're a bit out of the way here, and the buses don't work."

"It's much more convenient on our side, and almost every household has a private car."

The girl next to her said, "How can you compare with your village?" ”

"Your village is relatively wealthy in the county seat."

The other two boys also responded, "That's it, he's good, even if he can't get into college, he will mix better than others in the future." ”

Chen Fan didn't have the heart to chat with their group of little kids, so he went back to his room.

He came to the back of the yard, behind which pigs, chickens, ducks were raised.

The environment is particularly poor, and there are many mosquitoes.

Now Chen Fan has only one thought in his heart, how to make his parents accept this reality?

Or, let them move to the city.

It was almost five o'clock, and Lao Chen came back from the county seat on his bicycle.

It just so happened that several of Chen Juan's classmates also left, and Chen Fan took Lao Chen's bag, "Dad, why did you come back?" ”

Lao Chen was a little happy to see his son, "You're back?" Just tomorrow I will go to the county seat to sell potatoes. ”

Chen Fan nodded again and again, "Good class." ”

When the mother saw that her son was back, she deliberately killed a chicken, and the family was lively and happy at night.

Chen Fan asked tentatively, "Dad, Mom, our house is too old, and the ecological environment is also poor, why don't you go to the city to rent a store and do some small business like them?" ”

"Maybe I will have the opportunity to buy a house in the city in the future."

When Lao Chen heard this, he frowned, "In the future, you can go to the city to buy a house by yourself, and the two of us old guys will live here." ”

My mother also said, "Yes, you graduated from college, and when the time comes, the family will find a way to make up a down payment and see if they can help you make a down payment." ”

"If the girls now don't have a house in the city, they won't get married."

After speaking, she glanced at Chen Juan, "You also have to work hard, don't even fail the university." ”

"Those who associate with learning, put your mind to studying."

Chen Juan didn't speak, she knew that her mother loved to nag.

Chen Fan looked at her classmates today, "I also think you should study hard, now is not the time for you to play." ”

"Even if you want to fall in love now, you will definitely regret it when you grow up in the future."

Chen Juan looked at his brother in surprise, why did his opinion suddenly change?

Chen Fan ignored her eyes and explained to her.

He took a few bowls on the table as examples, "Your current life circle, classmates, and circle of friends are like this bowl of vegetables." ”

"Your eyes must be in this bowl of vegetables now."

"Only if you jump into this circle will you have a chance to see chicken."

"Don't look at me with such eyes, according to your brother's knowledge for so many years, there are layers between people."

"Their understanding, knowledge, vision, and circles are different, and these people are at different levels."

"Figuratively speaking, if I am in the countryside, then my goal and dream in life is just to marry a wife, have a child, and continue the days when my ancestors face the loess with their backs to the sky."

"But if I enter a higher circle, my goal in life may be to open a company, do a career, and be a useful person to the motherland and society."

"Don't you envy those workplace elites and domineering presidents on TV?"

"You're going to have to try to get to the level of them, too."

"Girls are only high-end and delicate to the extreme, which will make those who are not as good as you ashamed of themselves."

"Your level is higher, and your life will be different."

Chen Juan pursed her lips, indicating that she couldn't understand.

Lao Chen couldn't understand it, Chen Fan said it too profoundly.

His requirements are very simple, as long as Chen Juan is admitted to the university, don't stay in the countryside in the future.

As for the rest, he can't help, all he can do is send his children here.

The rest is up to their own fate and abilities.

The next day, Chen Fan went to sell potatoes with Lao Chen early in the morning.

Chen Fan thought there were a lot, but when his father took it out, it was more than 300 catties.

It seems that they still work in the same way as before, and the father and son borrowed a trailer and pulled the potatoes to the county seat to sell at the entrance of the vegetable market.

With such a model, how much money can father and son make a day?

Chen Fan shook his head and called Su Ruzhen under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Today's sun is a bit big, Lao Chen stood in the sun, wiping his sweat, and waited for almost an hour, and not a single potato was sold.

Chen Fan didn't know where to run, and was about to get angry when a brand-new Touareg drove over.

A particularly good-looking girl stepped out of the car, this figure and dress are the same as those from the big city.

She looked at the photo on her phone, and then at the middle-aged man in front of her, "Uncle, how do you sell potatoes?" ”
