Under 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, but he just sighed that his son had grown up.

There is also a little regret - if this son had been sensible earlier, he could have studied seriously in junior high school, and maybe he could have been admitted to university.

That's what it's called.

This can also comfort the wife's spirit in heaven.

But after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again, full of bitterness - even if his son was really admitted to college, where would he borrow money to pay his tuition?

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

Especially in the case of his family, there is nowhere to borrow money.

In the next few days, Yan Xin would help his father do 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 make his son work too hard, so cooking was quite suitable.

Yan Xin didn't know much about cooking at this age in his previous life, and then he went out to work, and slowly learned to cook by himself, not to mention that his skills are very good, but it is okay, at least better than the food cooked by his father.

His father was a rough man, and his requirements for food were to be able to eat, how to save trouble and how to come.

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

"Yan Xin, are you at home?"

Listening to the voice, it was a little familiar, and when I came out, it was Feng Chen, who had attempted suicide a few days ago.

There was some strangeness: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Although they are classmates from elementary school to junior high school, the two are not in the same production team, they just know each other, and they don't have any friendship, and they have never visited the door before, so he asked.

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

What was going on with jumping into the river and rescuing people, both of them knew, so he was a little embarrassed.

But at that time, he really didn't want to live, without Yan Xin's presence, he had already become a dead man.

said that Yan Xin saved him, there was nothing wrong.

It's just that the river jumping in the back is purely a play to cope with public opinion, to prove that he is not pretending to commit suicide to threaten his family.

Yan Xin was very strange: "It's been a few days since this happened, and I only remembered to call me for dinner today, is your family's reflex arc so long?" ”

"Uh," Feng Chen was even more embarrassed, "a fish died in my fish pond today......"

Yan Xin pursed his lips.

If you invite someone to dinner, if you don't have meat dishes, it will be too insincere.

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

I picked up a dead fish today, which is also a meat dish, so I did it by the way.

I thought to myself: "I picked the door so much, and I really ...... the mother-in-law I was familiar with."

Shaking his head, he said, "No." ”

Feng Chen hurriedly explained: "The fish has just died, it is still fresh, and there is still blood flowing when it is pierced." ”

"It doesn't matter if this fish is fresh or not," Yan Xin pointed to the kitchen, "I'm washing vegetables and I'm going to make lunch, and my dad is working outside and pointing to my food." If I go to your house for dinner, won't my dad be hungry? ”

Feng Chen wanted to say, "Then ask your dad to go over and eat together", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed again.

It's not that he is reluctant to add an extra pair of chopsticks, but the reason for inviting him to eat is to thank Yan Xin for saving him who committed suicide by jumping into the river, but it is very embarrassing to say that he jumped into the river, and he jumped into the river and did not die, so it is even more embarrassing to say it, he doesn't want more people to know.

If Yan Xin's father is also called, I am afraid that everyone who will publicize it will know, then he will not be able to stay in this village in the future.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go to my house for dinner when you're free." ”

Yan Xin snorted, and agreed to it.

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

Feng Chen was about to go back, but before he could take a step, he turned back and asked Yan Xin embarrassedly: "You didn't tell others about me jumping into the river, did you?" ”

Yan Xin shook his head: "Why am I saying this?" ”

Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, you must not tell anyone about this, otherwise I will really have no face to see people." ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you." Yan Xin said with a smile.

He asked curiously, "Does your dad know about this?" ”

"Got it."

"And how did he react?"

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

Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you can be regarded as getting what you want." I'll just say it, don't think about it, don't you think it's good? ”

That's understandable.

After all, his son was forced to die, and he really chose to jump into the river, and if he wanted to keep this son, he had to agree 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 it? ”

"The family doesn't have so much money," Feng Chen said depressedly, "My dad said that my sister and I can only have one to study." My sister said that she would not read, so she would give me the opportunity to go to work for me to study. ”

He asked Yan Xin: "I'm an elder brother, can I let my sister sacrifice her studies to fulfill me, a person who failed the college entrance examination?" Can I let my sister go out to work at the age of 16 for me to study? ”

"So you refused?" Yan Xin had some surprises.

"Yes, I refused," Feng Chen said, "I told my dad that I won't repeat my studies, I will go out to work for my sister to study, and her academic performance is also good, and she has a chance to be admitted to university." ”

Yan Xin has always looked down on Feng Chen, feeling that this person has no responsibility at all, he committed suicide by jumping into the river after failing the college entrance examination, dragging the family into the abyss, if he didn't want to repay Feng Xi for taking care of his father in his last life, he would not have stopped this person from committing suicide.

Although he saved his life, he still looked down on him in his heart.

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

Looking at Feng Chen's eyes, there was some warmth, and he said with a smile: "Okay, like a man." ”

Feng Chen said unconvinced: "I was originally a man!" ”

He was able to make such a choice and give up the opportunity to repeat his studies to fulfill his sister, partly because he felt that he should do this as an older brother, and partly because his sister took the initiative to give up the opportunity to study to fulfill himself, and said that he would go to work for him to study, which made him feel extremely guilty.

A few days ago, Feng Xi saw him jump into the river and commit suicide and cried bitterly, which was deeply engraved in his heart.

My sister is so good to him, he can't be selfish, that will be looked down upon.

Now Yan Xin's eyes on him have become different, which also makes him firm in his determination - he must be a good brother who protects his sister.

Yan Xin patted him on the shoulder: "After the double robbery, I am also going to go out to work, and we will be together at that time." ”
