Chapter 16: The City Is Too Complicated - Let's Go Back to the Country
The day after the incident, Fei Guang re-planned after being ashamed and remorseful.
After explaining his situation to Wang Jian, he uninstalled the game, withdrew from the cooperation, and gave up the ideal of "making games". gave up because "making a game" requires a lot of energy and time, so he can't free up his hands to "protect the flowers".
He decided to spare all his spare time to accompany Chen Lu and protect Chen Lu. Because he felt that for Chen Lu, who was "physically and mentally frustrated" during that period, what he needed more was his companionship and protection. Moreover, this nightmarish accident had already happened to Chen Lu once, and he would never allow it to have a second time.
He thought that with his company and protection, Chen Lu would definitely be able to recover from his "contusion" as soon as possible, but it turned out that he was wrong.
The chain reaction brought about by that incident was too great, "dreams shattered" and "three views were destroyed" made Chen Lu turn from sunny self-confidence to gloomy and self-contained, and it was quite difficult to "recover".
Although she changed the working environment of "7-Eleven", which is no longer far-fetched and becomes a "land of fireworks and willow lanes", and although Fei Guang spends her spare time with her every day, she is still in a trance and depressed every day.
This mental trance, this depression, Fei Guang looks at it every day, his heart is like a knife, and he regrets it, he has to think of a plan to solve it.
The solution Fei Guang wanted was pragmatic, feasible, and able to cure the fundamentals, so he silently planned in his heart for 2 months, and it was not until September that he showed it to Chen Lu.
He is not good at talking, and of course he can only fully express himself in written words.
"The City is Too Complicated, Let's Go Back to the Countryside"
Fei Guang
Dear Lulu,
First of all, I apologize to you from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry, because I didn't care, and I didn't protect you, so you suffered such a grievance!
I know that this apology is not enough for you now.
In order to get you out of the "pain" as soon as possible, and more importantly, for the common future of the two of us, I have woven a new set of dream plans. I want this new project to be realized by the two of us.
In today's era, working in a big city, although the salary is higher, the daily consumption level is correspondingly higher. If you are just a "grassroots employee", you can only meet the needs of daily life, and you can't save much money.
I know that you are a person with dreams, and you are not just willing to be a "junior employee", you want a "senior position", or a "personal business", or a "freelance job" such as "painter".
But the hearts of the people in the city are too complicated, especially for a peerless beauty like you, the hearts of the people are even more unpredictable, and many people look "well-dressed", but in fact they are "well-dressed beasts".
You know, for the past two months, as soon as you were out of my sight every day, I started to worry and ponder.
I'm worried that when I'm not around, someone will say flirtatious things to you, someone will behave frivolously with you, and I'm worried that they'll think about you and try to do something wrong.
In addition to worrying, the most I had left in my heart was self-hatred. I hate myself for not being able to learn enough to make enough money to make enough money that you can live at home and not work.
I'm wondering how I can stop you from getting worse. In addition to taking care of your daily life, I can also add something mentally to help you regain your sunshine and motivation as soon as possible.
Sorry, it's a bit off-topic, but what I'm trying to express is - the city is too complicated, or should we go back to the countryside?
When I go back to the countryside, I want to change your simple living environment, and we can also "start a business" in the countryside and do projects, such as raising goats.
When I was a child, my grandmother worked part-time as a farmer in her hometown, raising goats, although there were not many sheep slaughtered in a year, only about 10 sheep. However, it is not a problem for the income to provide for the daily living expenses of the family.
Grandma once said, "This goat eats grass, and what it gives birth to is full of treasures." ”
"Not really! They are not so particular about grass, they can eat young grass and hay. When there is no grass to eat on rainy weather, corn stalks, dried peanut seedlings, and dried sweet potato vines are also their vegetables. ”
"Sheepskins can be sold for money, mutton can be sold for money, sheep bones and sheep water can be sold for money, and even newborn lambs can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan, isn't it a treasure?"
Two months ago, recalling what my grandmother had said, it occurred to me that maybe we could raise goats in bulk.
In recent days, I have checked some information on the Internet, only to find that some "netizens" are using more scientific and reasonable methods to "raise goats", saving a lot of trouble in "stocking".
I also learned that in recent years there is a new type of forage - "silage corn stalks".
This forage, which is rich in nutritional value and not easy to spoil, is very suitable for raising goats in captivity in large quantities. More importantly, in the countryside, forage and straw are easy to obtain, and the breeding site does not need to pay rent, which greatly reduces the cost.
If we want to pay back quickly, we can buy lambs back and make "fattening sheep", if we want long-term development, we can do "breeding sheep" and buy ewes to come back to breed lambs.
Moreover, if we use "silage forage" to "keep in captivity", we can free up a lot of time, such as mowing time, sheep herding time. After freeing up time, we can farm and breed at the same time, and now in the countryside, there are fewer and fewer young people farming, and we can rent fields that others are not willing to plant, and many kinds.
In this case, while planting fields and raising more sheep, I don't think the income will be too small, would you like to go back to the countryside with me to do this kind of "entrepreneurship"?
……
Yes, after coming up with this plan, Chen Lu and Fei Guang returned to the countryside.
But to be honest, Chen Lu at that time was not so interested in the "breeding" program, she still did not come out of the "pain" of the old dream of falling through, and of course she would not be too interested in the "new dream".
The reason why she chose to return to the countryside is not only because she wants to get away from this complex big city and get back to basics. also because the person who invited her to return to her roots was Fei Guang, not anyone else.
……
When Chen Lu and Fei Guang returned to their hometowns, Chen Yu also quit his job and came back.
Therefore, after returning to her hometown, she had Fei Guang's sweet date during the day and Chen Yu's company and enlightenment at night. Dating, enlightenment, coupled with the simple customs of the countryside and the kindness of people, she has a lot of emotional relaxation.
So next, she quickly agreed to Fei Guang's marriage proposal.
……
And for Fei Guang, Chen Lu said those three words: "I do!" "That's just the first step.
Although his marriage proposal was agreed, the "bride price" has not yet been settled.
Regarding the "bride price" of "99999" proposed by his father-in-law, Fei Guang and his father Fei Song should prepare at least 200,000 yuan. Because, in addition to the "bride price", there are many places where money is spent on marriage.
For example, decorate and decorate a new house, although Chen Lu does not dislike their old building, but at least simply decorate the room.
For example, a new bed for marriage, new furniture.
For example, setting up a banquet.
Another example is "taking wedding photos", "renting a wedding car", "inviting a master of ceremonies", Chen Lu is a fashionable person, and of course none of these "fashionable marriage procedures" in the countryside are missing.
On that day, when his in-laws proposed "99999", Fei Song agreed neatly without thinking. He didn't want his in-laws to look down on him, let alone let his daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door have suspicions and psychological burdens, so there was no "bargaining" at all.
Not only was there no "bargaining", but his expression when he promised was also calm, so that people could not see anything unnatural. However, this expression is pretended, in fact, his calm heart has long been "overturned".
Because since paying off the debt, the money he and his son Fei Guang have saved together is only 20,000 or 30,000. And this twenty or thirty thousand has bottomed out after doing simple decoration, buying a new bed, and buying furniture.
Although the sensible Fei Guang arranged "taking wedding photos" in the "honeymoon period after marriage", he postponed a fee.
Although his dear uncle and aunt Fei Guang together lent him 60,000 yuan, they could only barely use it for "setting up a banquet" and "doing weddings", and the "99999" of "bride price" could not be borrowed anymore.
Not to mention, it was difficult to borrow money in those days, but he Fei Song had a record of borrowing money for 10 years to pay it off, who would risk lending it to him again.
What made Fei Song even more anxious was that not only did he have to borrow another 100,000, but he also had to get it that night and send it to his in-laws tomorrow.
Therefore, after his in-laws left, he turned over the river and the sea, and he was anxious, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
He drunk himself, he cried and cried, he cried like a helpless child.
All this was seen by the sensible Fei Guang, and he also became sad, but there was still a fatal "99999" that needed to be solved, he couldn't be sad for too long, and his father couldn't think of a solution, he had to continue to think about it.
That night, Fei Guang visited the neighbors of his village, visited distant relatives in other villages, begged his uncle, uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt, and when he borrowed 60,000 yuan, he was stuck.
There are nearly 40,000 short of "99999", and there is really no better way to make up for it. Fortunately, just when Fei Guang sent a lot of text messages and made many phone calls to get nothing, Wang Jian's call came.
"Brother, I'm too busy today, I just saw a text message from you, you're getting married, aren't you?" After connecting the phone, Wang Jian omitted the greetings and went straight to the point.
"Hmm!" Fei Guang has the feeling of being a dwarf, so he doesn't want to say too many words.
"That day, you said goodbye in a hurry, and after withdrawing from cooperation, you blocked me again, right, I called you a few times, but I didn't get through!" Wang Jian used a declarative tone, and did not mean to question.
"Hmm...... Just lifted! Fei Guang was a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense yet, it's 40,000 yuan, send your card number!" Wang Jian continued.
"Okay, I'll pay you back as soon as possible!" Fei Guang suddenly brightened, and his tone was a little excited.
"I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to you later, 10,000 is a red envelope for you, 40,000 is a loan to you, don't be in a hurry to pay it back!" Wang Jian said such a sentence with a sincere attitude.
"No...... Don't use such a big red envelope! Fei Guang was a little flattered.
"Don't be polite to me, brother."
"I may not be able to attend your wedding, I don't have a competent assistant now, these junior apprentices, I don't worry."
"Then, before you quit the cooperation, the preparations you made our private service very good, and your design concept and method of winning over the family are very good.
"Our server was very popular as soon as it opened, and on the day it opened, I earned more than 20,000 yuan, and this good start set the foundation for my later success."
"After success, I haven't thanked you yet, so the extra 10,000 yuan, you can take it as a wedding red envelope, or as a reward from your buddy."
"The money has passed, I wish my brother a happy marriage!"
"If you have the opportunity, come to Jinan to find me again......"
Wang Jian knew that Fei Guang didn't talk much, so he didn't give him a chance to reply, and after saying the last sentence, he hung up in a hurry.
Sure enough, not long after the phone hung up, Fei Guang's mobile phone text message prompted the change in the balance of the bank card to "remit 50,000 yuan".
The brisk borrowing this time laid a "new foreshadowing" for Fei Guang's "re-entry into the pit" a few months later. But at that time, he didn't have the ability to predict the future, so it was impossible to think about it.
