The embankment is only a few meters high, but the slope is steep.

Yan Xin pulled Feng Xi all the way up, and he was tired enough, and when he got to the top, he let go of Feng Xi's hand and said, "You don't look fat, why are you so heavy?" ”

Feng Xi said: "It's not that I'm heavy, it's that you're empty." ”

Yan Xin categorically denied: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not false, I'm in good health." ”

I was not convinced, and thought: "Three times in one night, where am I empty?" ”

It's just that there is no way to talk to Feng Xi about this dazzling record.

Feng Xi looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't admit it, void is void, I think you can put the wolfberries together." ”

"Not at all." Yan Xin said confidently.

But there is actually a little bit of weakness in his heart - in fact, he has already made up the wolfberries more than a month ago and secretly drank them for more than a month.

He didn't know if it had any effect, but he felt that his body was quite good.

Feng Xi didn't fight with him anymore, and followed him all the way down the river embankment and walked towards the hill where Yan Xin lived.

When he arrived at the embankment, Yan Xin found that he was taking photos while walking in the river, and before he knew it, he had walked more than half a mile in the direction of Feng Xi's house.

After a little further mile, we were almost at her house.

No wonder I can see Feng Xi here, and I am about to arrive at the door of someone's house.

Feng Xi's house is on the other side of the embankment, not too far from the embankment, and standing on the embankment, you can clearly see her family's house, which is an ordinary red brick house, which has been around for some years.

You can even see the orange tree behind her house, but now that it's cold, the oranges on the tree have been plucked, and you can't see the oranges.

Standing on the river embankment, you can also see Yan Xin's home, which is built on the mountainside.

There are more than a dozen families in a row, and the house of Yan Xin's family is the most conspicuous.

One year in the 90s, the embankment burst and the flood water poured into the village, and the houses under the embankment were flooded, but the people who lived in the mountains were fine.

Feng Xi's house was built after the flood that year, because the original adobe house was washed away by the water, and later the government subsidized part of the money, and he contributed some of the money, so he built the red brick house.

That year, Yan Xin's house was not washed away, and he could not get the housing subsidy given by the government to the victims.

After going down the embankment and passing through the path, Feng Xi said to Yan Xin: "I came back last time to see your house, but I only looked at it from the outside, not inside. ”

"What do you think?" Yan Xin asked.

"It's pretty beautiful from the outside, but I don't know what's going on inside, so I have to go and see it in person to find out." Feng Xi said.

The two of them walked while talking, and when they passed by Yan Xin's fish pond, Feng Xi also asked, "Has your family's fish been sold this year?" Did you save a little for the New Year? ”

"Keep it and keep it in the pool at the back of the house." Yan Xin replied.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "How do you know that this is my fish pond?" ”

Feng Xi's eyes rolled: "That's the case, the last time I went home, I saw how your house was built, and I saw your father throwing grass into this fish pond." ”

Yan Xin sighed, and then didn't say anything.

When the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, they had to go up a slope to go to Yan Xin's house, which was not as steep as the slope of the river embankment, but it was longer.

On both sides of the road were ground, patches of land of varying heights.

In this way, the slope is not steep, Feng Xi also said that he couldn't walk, followed behind Yan Xin, and stretched out his hand:

"Yan Xin, I can't climb this slope, you can pull me."

It's almost home here, Yan Xin didn't want to be involved with her, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward, distanced himself from her, and said, "If you can't walk, you have to go, I don't have the strength anymore." ”

Feng Xi said angrily: "You suddenly ran so fast, I think your strength is quite good." ”

She also quickened her pace to pull Yan Xin down.

But Yan Xin didn't want her to stop, and when he saw her coming over, he ran faster.

The two of them chased one after the other, and within two minutes, they arrived at Yan Xin's doorstep.

When Feng Xi arrived at the hardened road, he supported his knees with both hands, bent over and panted, and said hatefully: "Yan Xin, you are so unmanly, you won't even pull me!" ”

Yan Xin said very seriously: "With such a big person, you should learn to walk upright." ”

The two of them were talking, and Yan's father, who was cleaning up at the back of the house, was alarmed.

Hearing that it was his son talking to a girl, he quickly put down the life in his hand, and then saw a girl who was a little familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was a girl from the six groups of Feng families who lived on the edge of the river embankment, and she came to the house to eat last year, and she also cooked a meal herself, and her cooking skills were very good.

said hello with a smile, thinking in his heart: "It can't be that the Feng family has no money to pay it back, so they want to use this daughter to pay off the debt, right?" ”

That's true, and that's good.

When Feng Xi saw Dad Yan coming out, he stood up straight and said, "Hello Uncle Yan", and the whole person looked much more restrained.

Yan Xin explained to his father: "She is the younger sister of my classmate Feng Chen, who is now in her third year of high school, and I heard that my family has built a house and wants to take a look. ”

Yan's father was taken aback - the Feng family borrowed 10,000 yuan from him some time ago, saying that they wanted to buy a house for their son in Yangcheng.

Being able to buy a house in a big city is definitely a good deal.

In the eyes of the villagers, it was much more promising than his son - one was the boss of his own company, and the other was a worker. One bought a house in a big city, and the other could only build a house in the countryside, and the gap was not ordinary.

I didn't expect people to not only buy a house, but also prepare to build a house like this in two years, which is very remarkable.

It is much bigger than his son's outcome.

Yan Xin said this, that is, to explain why Feng Xi would follow.

Otherwise, without a reason, it is a bit unreasonable to bring a girl who is only two years younger than himself to the house.

He didn't want any scandals.

Feng Xi did not refute his statement.

Then Yan Xin took Feng Xi from the kitchen to stroll.

It's only been a month or two since the kitchen was built, but because of the wood, the painted walls have been yellowed by smoke, and it won't take long for them to turn black.

Feng Xi couldn't help but say, "It's a pity to burn wood in such a good kitchen." ”

Yan Xin was helpless: "My dad has been poor all his life, and he is reluctant to let him use electricity or gas." ”

Feng Xi opened his mouth and said, "If it were my parents, they would definitely be willing to do it." ”

Yan Xin smiled.

Everyone has parents, but not everyone's parents are so considerate of their children.

Anyway, with what he had learned in his previous life, Feng Xi's parents didn't think much about this daughter.

will think about Feng Chen, who is a son, but he will not sacrifice too much for his son.

For example, Feng Chen couldn't think of jumping into the river to commit suicide because he failed the college entrance examination and wanted to restudy, but his father vetoed it.

If it is Yan's father, if Yan Xin has the possibility of being admitted to university, he will provide for his son to study no matter how hard and tired he is.

In the past few years, Yan's father lived a very clear life, it was really sacrificing his life for his son.

Feng Chen's parents couldn't do that.

They are all farmers, and the two of them work together, and the money they can earn in a year is not as much as that of Yan's father alone.

As for the amount of money that can be saved, that's even worse.

If they have such a beautiful house, they definitely don't want the house to be blackened by smoke and fire, so they will use electricity or gas instead of firewood.

will also pay for their children, but not so deeply.

Among the children, they are more willing to give for their sons and are more willing to ask for their daughters.

Feng Xi said such things, not praising her parents, but complaining about her parents.

However, after Yan Xin laughed, he thought that if his father could have such a concept, it would be a good thing for him, a son, at least he would not be so frugal and could live a better life.

He didn't want his father to look malnourished in order to save a few bucks.

To be so yourself now is to overdraft your future life.

He wanted his father to know how to enjoy it, so that his life would be better, that he would be healthier and live longer.

Being too frugal is sometimes not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "I wish my father could give some." ”

Feng Xi glanced at him and said, "The concept of the older generation is different from ours, so it has to change slowly." You have to let him feel that his family has become rich, and you have to give him a sense of security, so that the concept of consumption will slowly change. ”

Yan Xin has not thought about the problem of a sense of security.

Telling him that he had a lot of money now did not give his father much security, but rather made him more uneasy.

He can only tell his father step by step like this now, he earns money, lives well, and doesn't have to live frugally like before.

But according to the income he fabricated, building this house will indeed have some shortfalls, and naturally there is no way to make his father feel financially secure.

As Feng Xi said, you can only take it slowly.

Tell his dad next year that he has paid off the arrears, and by the way, tell him that his dad's salary has increased again, and tell him how much money his dad has saved the year after next, so it should be able to change slowly.

Otherwise, I'm still in a hurry.

If he really can't do it, then he can only take his father to live in the city and reveal the wealth he has now.

When you leave this village, you don't have to worry so much.

It's just that whether his father can live happily after leaving this village is another question.

Thinking of this, my brows furrowed.

Feng Xi looked at his expression and whispered beside him:

"It's okay, it will get better slowly, and it's not that easy to change a person's habits."

Yan Xin snorted and said, "I hope." ”

Feng Xi said again: "The thing he is most worried about may be your life's event, if you can get married and have children earlier, he will be relieved." ”

She can say this because the older generation in this village is most worried about the marriage of their children, and to put it more precisely, they are worried about the problem of their sons marrying their daughters-in-law.

The poorer the place, the more serious the problem.

Because everyone knows that it costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law.

In this village, in the past few years, no matter which family marries a daughter-in-law, it will be bankrupt.

It's just that it's light to bankrupt your own family, and it's more important to borrow a lot of money to be able to marry your daughter-in-law.

The one who raised his daughter didn't have such a headache, and basically he could earn some bride price.

Those who raise sons often start having headaches when they are teenagers.

Feng Xi is telling the truth.

It's just that when he talked about this fact, Feng Xi also had some other thoughts, and his eyes became a little urgent when he looked at Yan Xin.

Yan Xin didn't look at her, thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "That's the same reason." ”

I thought to myself: "It seems that I have to discuss the matter of marriage with Lily, it is best to wait for me to turn twenty-two years old, get a license with her, get married and have children, and do it in one go, so that my father will not worry." ”

Feng Xi asked him with a smile: "Do you think that in order to make your father feel at ease, you have to get married earlier?" ”

Yan Xin nodded: "That's right." ”

Feng Xi asked again: "Then, do you have such a marriage partner in your heart?" ”

Yan Xin originally wanted to say that there was, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't stimulate this student girl who was about to take the college entrance examination, so he still denied it:

"No, I'm busy with my career right now, where am I in the mood to think about this?"

The words are righteous and strict, but the heart is very empty.

Feng Xi said: "Actually, you can think about it, but you can't consider the age that is too young, the age difference is too big, when you reach the legal age of marriage, but the other party has not reached that age, then it is not suitable." You are now 20 years old, you can consider being 18 years old, and when you are 22 years old, your partner is exactly 20 years old, and they have reached the legal age of marriage, you can get married earlier. ”

She blushed a little as she said this, but she said it anyway.

also seriously analyzed Yan Xin:

"It's best to find the kind of person who knows the roots, is close to each other, and the two families can take care of each other. They all grew up in the same life circle and in a similar environment, and many things are easier to understand each other, and there will be no cultural differences. As for career, it is best to find a like-minded person who can help your career. ”

Yan Xin's face turned to the side, and he rolled his eyes where Feng Xi couldn't see, thinking to himself, "You just report your ID card." ”

I can only think that I can't hear it, and I said twice: "What you said is very reasonable, I will consider this aspect." ”

Feng Xi said a lot, but he also felt that the direction was too obvious, and he was embarrassed to continue.

Coming out of the kitchen, Yan Xin took Feng Xi to see several rooms on the first floor.

There is a bedroom where his father lives, a living room, which is called a hall here, a guest room, and a storage room.

On a table in his father's bedroom, there were a lot of things Yan Xin brought from Yangcheng, including cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, and some ingredients, such as beef balls, sausages, and dried fish.

"You've brought so many things with you?" Feng Xi's eyes widened.

The big table was already full, and it was piled up like a hill.

Yan Xin said with a smile: "The car can hold so many things, of course I should bring more, otherwise, with my father's character, is he willing to buy these things?" ”

Feng Xi also smiled: "I must be reluctant." ”

Yan Xin glanced at her and was a little strange: "Your tone is so firm, it seems that you are very familiar with my father." ”

Feng Xi said: "Your father is diligent and thrifty, who in the village doesn't know?" And these things, don't say that your dad is reluctant to buy them, even my dad is reluctant to buy them. ”

This explanation is quite reasonable, and Yan Xin accepted it.

Feng Xi saw that there were still a few boxes of chocolates inside, and asked curiously:

"Your dad doesn't eat this chocolate, and you shouldn't like it, why are you buying so much?"

"Go to a relative's house for the New Year and give food to other people's children." Yan Xin said helplessly.

Feng Xi snorted: "Are your relatives necessary to give such a good gift?" ”

Yan Xin agreed: "Who said it wasn't? But my dad wants to leave, and I can't help it, so let's earn him a little. ”

When his family was in difficulty, his relatives gave very little help, that is, they gave a little help at the beginning, and then they hid when they saw his family, for fear of asking them to borrow money.

In this regard, Yan Xin is still angry.

In this life, he has become promising, but some relatives have taken the initiative to come over to show goodwill.

But in his previous life, his family had been poor, and many relatives did not move around in the end.

When his father died, he called more than a dozen families, and in the end only a few relatives came, and it was simply because he lived too close, and he was really embarrassed not to come.

There were a few families who came, and there were also a few who accused and ridiculed their husband and wife in front of many people when they were handling the funeral, and at that time, not only Yan Xin was angry, but Feng Xi was also angry.

According to Yan Xin's current thoughts, those relatives can not leave, there is no family affection, and they will not bring any benefits to themselves, there is no need to look at that face.

But Yan's father didn't think so, he still wanted to go down with those relatives.

Yan Xin also understood his thoughts, that is, he was worried that he would suffer a lot if he was alone, and if there was no one to help him in the future.

This is the clan concept of the older generation, and they always feel that if there are relatives, even if the relationship is not good, others will have some fears.

There's no way he can tell his dad about it.

Since his dad is willing to go down, let's go on.

Even if those relatives are very snobbish, as long as they don't hurt his family in this life, they will go with their snobbery.

It's also a good thing to give his dad a little peace of mind.

Having said that, no matter how snobbish those relatives are, those relatives are still different from those relatives who are not, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

If their family didn't have any relatives in this area, and his family built this small villa, and his father was home alone, he didn't know what terrible things would happen.

Feng Xi looked at those things angrily, picked out two boxes of chocolates from them, and said to Yan Xin:

"I ate the box of chocolates I took back in the morning, it tasted good, we didn't sell this here. Give me these two boxes, and I'll give you how much money you spend. ”

Yan Xin waved his hand at her: "If you like it, take it, what money do you want?" ”

Feng Xi's eyes rolled: "Then I'll take away all the chocolates you bought." ”

Yan Xin's chocolates were originally intended to be eaten by the children of his relatives, but he didn't have a good impression of those relatives, and he didn't have a good impression of the children of those relatives - now he is a child, and he will be an adult in more than ten years, and he also remembers what kind of people they are, and there is nothing to be liked.

Just to earn face for his father, it doesn't matter if he spends a little money to buy something that is still a luxury here.

However, Feng Xi said that she likes to eat.

Then there is nothing to say, it must be to meet Feng Xi's needs first.

Without hesitation, he said: "If you like to eat, take it all, you can take it away if you see what else you like to eat." ”

Feng Xi took a look at all those snacks and was quite moved.

But in the end, he still didn't do anything, and shook his head with a smile: "These boxes of chocolates are enough, and nothing else is needed." ”

Yan Xin bought a total of six boxes of chocolates, spending a few hundred yuan, one box was taken away by Feng Xi before, and now there are five boxes left.

Feng Xi said yes, then take out the five boxes of chocolates, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to her: "You can take it." ”

Feng Xi carried the five boxes of chocolates and followed Yan Xin to the second floor.

Yan Xin's bedroom was on the second floor, and although he hadn't lived in it for a day, it was still clean.

There are also a few rooms on the second floor, which are reserved for guests.

The furniture that should have been purchased was also purchased, and it also cost Yan Xin a lot of money.

In a big city like Yangcheng, these furniture are nothing, but in the countryside, these furniture are relatively luxurious.

Looking at the past room by room, Feng Xi sighed: "Yan Xin, you really enjoy it, you have built such a good house at home." ”

This is on the second floor, don't worry about Dad Yan hearing it, Yan Xin also relaxed, and said: "Of course you have to enjoy it when you have money, if it's still so hard, why make money?" ”

Feng Xi said depressedly: "But I'm still very hard, it's not easy to spend money, and the study tasks are still so heavy, sometimes I really don't want to study, anyway, I can live well with those shops." ”

"Then why do you still study so hard?" Yan Xin asked.

Last year, he also hoped that Feng Xi could study hard and be admitted to a good university.

At that time, he felt that only by being admitted to a good university could he change Feng Xi's fate.

But I didn't expect Feng Xi to be so ruthless in this life, he started to make money in business when he was studying, and now he has opened three online stores, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the deposits are several million.

The value of the three online stores is even more incalculable.

Relying on those three online stores, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and I really don't have the need to study hard.

Under such circumstances, Feng Xi still studied so hard, and even gave up some opportunities for business development, which was also something he felt a little incomprehensible.

He felt that if Feng Xi didn't study, or if he didn't study so hard, his life should be much easier.

Feng Xi said: "I sometimes think about it, now that I have reached this point, what else do I read?" With my current economic conditions, I can live a very chic life. ”

As he spoke, he sighed again: "However, if I don't study, or if I don't get into a good university, how can I explain to my brother?" In order to provide for me to study, my brother gave up the opportunity to repeat his studies and went to the construction site to move bricks, just so that I could study hard and be admitted to a good university. Then I came and told him that I didn't want to study anymore, that I was going to mess up, what would he think? That must be very frustrating, right? He was so good to me and gave me so much that I couldn't live up to his expectations. ”

Yan Xin disagreed with Feng Xi's parents, feeling that they were too patriarchal and not good for this daughter at all.

But he has to admit that Feng Chen, who is an elder brother, is really good to his sister, although Feng Xi is much richer than Feng Chen now, but Feng Chen himself doesn't know, and he still wants to earn more money so that his sister can live a good life.

Feng Chen has always had a dream of going to college and has an obsession with college.

He had no way to realize this dream, so he could only pin his hopes on Feng Xi.

If Feng Xi gave up, it is conceivable that Feng Chen would definitely be very disappointed.

Feng Xi said again: "Moreover, I also want to go to a higher place to have a look. Being a high school student also limits the height I can reach. ”

The previous reason was to live up to Feng Chen's expectations.

The latter reason is to realize one's ambitions.

Yan Xin remembered that the girl in front of her also had a college dream in her previous life, and when she first came out to work, she also studied the second and third years of high school by herself, thinking that she would earn enough money to study with her hard work and return to campus.

But then that dream was shattered.

In the first year or two of their marriage, the relationship between the two was not as bad as it was later, and Feng Xi would also tell him some of his own stories, and when it came to dropping out of school, he was in a very low mood.

It's good to have the opportunity to realize such a dream in this life.

So he said: "Then work hard, the college entrance examination is only a few months away, and strive to be admitted to a good university, have a better development platform, and have greater development." ”

Feng Xi smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, I want to have a better development opportunity, and I will develop with you." ”
