Chapter 288: Companionship

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the employees of the online store also took a day off and continued to work on the twenty-fiveth.

But I won't be working for many days, because in two more days, the courier will not run, and I can only rest until after the eighth day of the first month.

Feng Xi now goes to the online store, mainly to do an inventory, count all the inventory in the store, and settle the accounts that should be settled, and then give the employees year-end bonuses and New Year's red envelopes.

The online store makes a lot of money, and of course it is necessary to give some benefits to the employees, so that the employees are more motivated.

After Feng Xi received Yan Xin's message, he quickly replied to him: "I'm busy, I should be able to finish it tomorrow, I will invite everyone to have a meal the day after tomorrow, you are also the boss, do you want to come over to participate?" ”

When Yan Xin received her reply, he had already gotten out of the car and was carrying a leg of venison upstairs.

Venison is more expensive, and ordinary people can't get this thing, hanging it outside, and it may be stolen at some point.

The bacon and bacon made at home are all hung on the balcony on the second floor, and this leg of venison should also be hung there.

When I heard the voice of QQ, I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, but I didn't reply immediately.

He was thinking about whether he wanted to go over or not.

went up to the second floor, found an iron hook to hook this leg of venison and hung it, and thought for a while before replying with two words: "Okay." ”

Feng Xi quickly replied: "Then it's decided, I'll go to the bank to withdraw some money, and you can also send red envelopes when the time comes." ”

Yan Xin replied with an "OK", thought for a while, and added: "Just eat, just eat, the dishes can be made a little richer, so don't drink." ”

He's a bit sensitive to drinking.

The amount of alcohol is too small, and you will get drunk as soon as you pour it, and some uncontrollable things will happen when you get drunk.

For example, when I drank too much wine in the county, I inexplicably lay in the same bed with Feng Xi.

For another example, I drank some red wine with Arily later, and then inexplicably lay on the same bed again, and the two of them didn't even have clothes on.

That means that his wine is very bad, and when he gets drunk, he will come to him, and he will give girls nonsense.

I had lunch at Xiao Shiyu's house, and I didn't get a drop of wine, the main reason is that I am worried about drunk driving, but I am secondary-I can not go back if I drink too much, and I can find a place to stay for a night.

The main reason is that I am afraid that I will drink too much wine, and I will do some messy things in front of my father, and I am afraid that I will have squatted into the bureau when I wake up.

He had that money now, but it wasn't enough to save him from punishment.

He didn't know how he had this kind of wine, but every time he got drunk with a girl, it happened like this, and he had to wonder if there was a pervert living in his heart, and he couldn't control himself when he drank too much.

The best thing to do is not to drink, and if you don't drink, you won't unleash that demon.

Feng Xi was a little unimpressed by his reminder: "However, for the New Year, this is equivalent to a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the employees, shouldn't you drink some wine to help the fun?" ”

Yan Xin also felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to drink on this occasion, but he didn't want to drink, so he found a reason:

"I'm going to drive, and I can't drive if I'm drinking, so I can't drink."

Feng Xi: "Then don't drink it, other employees still have to drink a little, and they can't be disappointed." ”

Yan Xin had no choice but to agree to her arrangement.

It's not that he is reluctant to pay for wine, but everyone drinks, and he doesn't drink as a boss, which seems to be a little unsociable, which will cause a sense of distance to employees.

But I'm afraid of making a mistake when I drink.

The employees of the online store are all women, and if they get drunk like that, it will be a big problem.

What's even more frightening is that those employees are not pretty......

It was still early when he got home, before three o'clock, and his father didn't go out to work, but chopped wood on the hillside behind the house.

The thick bowl of wood was sawn into small pieces with a hacksaw, and then it was split.

It still takes some effort to do this.

Yan Xin ended chatting with Feng Xi, went downstairs to the back, and saw his father chopping wood there, so he snatched the axe from his hand and said, "Let me come." ”

Father Yan shook his head: "Where did you do this?" ”

Yan Xin was not convinced: "I still have some strength." ”

Although he had never chopped wood before, watching his father chop it felt like a hard work, and it didn't require any skills.

When it comes to anger, he doesn't think that a twenty-year-old young man will have any worse strength than his father.

Put the firewood away, take the axe and chop it down.

The first blow was not accurate, and the axe slashed to the ground.

Then came the second time, this time it was split, but the force was not used well, the edge of the blade was off, and the firewood was not split, but the piece of wood was broken and flew up, so that the suspension did not hit people.

Father Yan shook his head and took the axe from his hand: "I'll do it." ”

The facts were in front of him, Yan Xin could only accept it, and gave up the axe with a red face.

He also said: "Actually, it's not good to burn wood, not to mention using gas, at least we can burn some coal." ”

"There's no need to waste that money," Yan's father said, "You don't need money to burn firewood, you just go to the mountains to chop firewood by yourself, just spend some effort." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to take some time to rest?" Yan Xin tried to convince his father, "It's not that people are born to work so hard, and it's not a sin to rest for a few more days." ”

Dad Yan said: "If you can't be idle, you will panic when you are idle, so you should feel at ease by doing something." ”

Many people in the countryside are like that.

Obviously, I don't have to work so hard, but I always have to find some work for myself, and I always feel that I am making a mistake to rest and rest.

Probably because I was poor and scared before, and I didn't feel safe if I didn't do some work.

Yan Xin has no way to do this.

You can only do it slowly, step by step.

As Feng Xi said, if you want his father to be less hard and less economical, you have to make his father feel safe about the future, and let his father know that the family's money can't be spent, so that he will slowly change his concept.

Of course, now he can persuade every word, to make his father realize that he, as a son, does not want him to work so hard, and hopes that he can have more time to rest and enjoy life.

I can't chop wood, but it's still okay to see firewood with a hacksaw.

His dad is busy here, and it really can't be done to let him lie in bed alone and rest peacefully.

So, he picked up the sawing work.

His father told him to rest, saying that he was working hard outside, and he finally came back, so there was no need to do these things.

He smiled and said: "I work outside but I don't have as hard work as you farm at home, you are working during the Chinese New Year, and I can't sit and rest." Otherwise, in the eyes of others, I may say how unfilial I am as a son. ”

When he said this, his father was a little embarrassed.

The father and son worked together, and they didn't do it for long, and before four o'clock, Yan's father said that he would not do it, and he would prepare to cook dinner and pack up all the chopped firewood.

In fact, it's not time to cook dinner yet, but Yan's father knows that if he doesn't stop, his son will also work here, and he can't see his son's hard work, so he simply stopped doing it earlier.

I also made a decision in my heart - those jobs will be done when my son is gone, and when my son is still there, I will rest at home.

At noon, Yan Xin ate outside, and Yan's father made do with a meal, and the leftovers that the father and son did not eat yesterday were still eaten.

Now that my son is back and we want to have dinner together, of course we can't make it that way.

However, today is not Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no need to be as grand as yesterday.

I made two meat, one vegetarian and three dishes, a plate of bacon and fried garlic sprouts, a plate of fish, and a fried cabbage sum.

Two meat and one vegetable.

The three dishes are all in charge of Yan Xin.

He now feels that his cooking skills have improved a little, and the dishes he makes are much better than his father's, so of course he has to show off his cooking skills at this time.

It's also better for your stomach.

Yan's father lit the fire there.

While cooking, Yan's father asked about Yan Xin's going to see Xiao Shiyu, and he was very concerned about this.

What I am most concerned about is Xiao Shiyu's father's attitude.

If you don't get it right, it's your in-laws, if it's a in-laws who can't speak,

Yan Xin didn't hide too much, he talked about the meeting, and also said Xiao Shiyu's father's position.

Yan Dad doesn't understand how big an official the deputy section level is, but he understands how big an official the deputy director is.

In his opinion, that is a very big official, and he was a little worried when he heard this: "He is such a big official, will he agree to his daughter marrying you?" ”

Although Yan Xin didn't have the idea of marrying Xiao Shiyu, he was still a little unimpressed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's not a big official, so you don't look down on ordinary people like us so much." ”

Yan's father said: "He won't let you be a son-in-law, right?" ”

Mainly thinking, how could a daughter of an official, or an only daughter, marry the son of a peasant?

It's not right at all.

If you agree, then I'm afraid it's also the idea of finding a son-in-law, otherwise it won't make sense.

Xiao Shiyu is a very good girl, such an excellent girl is his daughter-in-law, he is willing to do a hundred in his heart.

But if you want to be a son-in-law for someone else, you can't accept it.

How to make such a thing, he can't face his deceased wife after he dies.

Yan Xin said depressedly: "Dad, your son is not so bad, how can he be a son-in-law for others?" Even if I was a single, I wouldn't be a son-in-law! ”

But I thought in my heart: "This seems to be a good excuse, and when the time comes, I will tell him that Xiao Shiyu's family asked me to be my son-in-law, but I refused, so that he would not complain that I was irresponsible." ”

Father Yan was relieved at this time, and said: "You don't need to beat a singleton, your current conditions are not worthy of a family that is an official, but you can also find a very good daughter-in-law." ”

Yan Xin smiled: "Isn't it? So, you don't have to worry about that. I can assure you that when I reach the age of marriage, I will find you a good daughter-in-law and let you hold a grandson as soon as possible. ”

Listening to his son's assurance, Yan's father also laughed.

Although it is not necessary to succeed with such determination, it is a very good thing to have such determination.

Now many of the young people in the village are reluctant to marry too early, and some of them are worried to death.

In the past few years, he has heard many parents in the village complain that their sons are older and don't talk about their daughters-in-law, and when they ask, they say that they don't want to get married, and they will become old singles.

Yan Xin at least has no such problems, he is willing to get married, and he is willing to have children early, which is better than those people.

- Actually, Yan's father thinks a little badly, and now those young people say that they don't want to get married, and many times they don't really want to get married, but they don't have the ability to get married.

Parents just urged them to say a daughter-in-law, and they didn't want to, but their own conditions are there, and it is difficult to talk about a girlfriend.

But I'm embarrassed to say this, and in the end I can only find one reason, that is, I don't want to get married so early.

Not wanting to get married is just a fig leaf.

Of course, after a few years, many young people really don't want to get married, feeling that marriage will only bring endless trouble to their lives and reduce their quality of life, so it is better to be happy alone.

Yan Xin actually thought about whether to get married for a while, and he felt that it was more free to live without marriage.

As long as you have enough wealth, it is definitely more comfortable not to get married than to get married.

At that time, he had already earned his first pot of gold, and in the foreseeable future, with the dividends of rebirth, he would have more wealth, and it would not be difficult to become a billionaire.

With so much wealth, as long as you don't get married, you can be with any beautiful girl you want, and you don't have to worry about being condemned by public opinion at all.

If you are married, it is called cheating, and if you are not married, you naturally can't talk about cheating.

Not only will it not be condemned, but it may even be licked by many people and become a national husband.

As long as the money is sufficient.

Don't say that it's okay to get a girlfriend a month, some beautiful girls are waiting in line for the flop, even if their fists are itchy, there will be a large number of people waiting in line to be beaten - as long as they can afford more than 2 million expenses.

If you have a net worth of tens of billions, you can live such a life.

Getting married is purely to make yourself uncomfortable.

Yan Xin is not a man with a lot of innocence, he actually wants to have more beautiful girls.

However, he also knew that his father would not agree with his lifestyle, and hoped that he would be able to live more traditionally and get married and have children, so that he would feel at ease.

In his previous life, he was so disappointed in his father and made his father's life so painful, and he still has to make up for it in this life, and he feels that he should still take the traditional path and get married and have children when he is old.

Later, he established a relationship with Ellilie, and even pinched out some unrealistic fantasies.

In order to fulfill his father's wishes, he should get married and have children as early as possible.

In order to live up to Arilie, he should also marry her and have children earlier.

Arily was very kind to him, helped him when he was in a difficult time, and was a very kind person.

happened to that kind relationship again, he couldn't let her down, and he couldn't make such a kind woman sad.

Although there is desire in the heart, it is not impossible to suppress it.

already has such a plan, and now it is in front of his father, of course, to make this statement can also make his father happier.

His statement like this really made his father a lot happier, and he calculated that his son would be able to get married in two more years, and in two years after marriage, his grandson would be born.

At that time, his life will be complete.

After talking to Yan Xin about this, he said with emotion: "When you get married and have children, my business will be over, and I won't have to worry about anything in the future, I will help you bring your grandchildren in the future, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

Yan Xin said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't say you, you are a big man, will you take children?" ”

These words made Yan's father stunned.

He really doesn't know how to take children.

After Yan Xin was born, his mother did the matter of taking care of the child, and his father needed to do farm work to support the family, and he would only do farm work.

I have basically never intervened in the matter of raising children.

Yan Xin is really going to give birth to a child, and he will leave it to him to bring, and he doesn't know how to bring it.

was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I can learn this." ”

Yan Xin saw that his father was really thinking about it, so he couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Dad, you can't learn this." But you don't have to worry, if you really have a baby, someone will naturally take it. ”

What he meant was that if he really gave birth to a baby, he would definitely hire a professional nanny to help take care of the child.

Raising children is a hard job, and if you are not short of money, of course, it is better to hire someone to take care of your children.

Don't say how much wealth he will have in the future, the wealth he has now is enough for him to hire the most professional nanny to help take care of the children, and naturally he doesn't need to work hard for his old father.

Yan's father heard the difference, thinking that his son's idea was to let the child's grandparents take it.

That's not much good news for him.

Let the grandparents take the grandson, and the grandson is unlikely to be with him, who is a grandfather, and he feels depressed when he thinks about it.

said: "It's natural for me to be a grandfather with a grandson, you don't need to throw the child to your grandparents, so that people will gossip, and the child may not think that he is a member of our Yan family in the future." ”

Yan Xin didn't expect his father to think of this, and wanted to explain to him, but he felt that with the salary level he is now revealed, he said that he wanted to find a nanny to take care of the children, and he was afraid that his father would think that he was a loser and had no sense of security about the future.

So there was no explanation, and he said with a smile: "Otherwise, Dad, you find a companion who knows how to take care of children, then I have a child, and I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you and your old couple to bring." ”

Father Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "What's the matter?" What's going on here? ”

"Dad, you can think about it." Yan Xin said with a smile.

Now that the father and son have a good relationship, it doesn't matter if they make a joke once in a while, and it can make it more natural for their father and son to get along with each other.

In his last life, even if Yan Xin understood his father's difficulty in the last few years, the relationship has reached that point, and he himself is a married man, and he has taken on so much pressure in life, and he can't do it if he wants to make their relationship easier.

Now I don't have that kind of pressure, and I'm quite easy-going.

Although Yan's father felt a little embarrassed, he felt very happy to be able to communicate with his son like this.

When the meal was ready, I ate it in the kitchen.

By the time we finished eating, it was already dark.

This night, Yan Xin still watched TV with his father for two or three hours.

While watching TV, he was talking.

I also hold the mobile phone in my hand, and reply to it when I have a QQ message.

Single-mindedness and triple use didn't affect anything.

At nine o'clock, seeing that his father was sleepy, he left and went upstairs to his bedroom.

After returning to the bedroom, he didn't go to sleep immediately, but posted a post on the travel forum of Starlight.com and participated in the theme activity of going home for the New Year held by the forum.

I sent more than a dozen photos, the ones I came back to take, and a paragraph of text was added to each photo.

His writing is not enough, but it's still okay to post that kind of narrative text paragraph by paragraph on the forum, and say your feelings, as long as there are no typos, it's almost the same, and you don't need any writing.

Nowadays, it's not so convenient to post on your phone, write a text, insert a picture, and then you have to send the post.

After posting, click Edit to continue adding text descriptions and images to the original post.

Just posted it one by one, and when the whole post was sent, more than an hour had passed, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

By the time he finished the post, there were twenty or thirty replies to the post.

The popularity of the travel forum has been opened, coupled with this homecoming New Year-themed event, many people who have returned to their hometown have participated, and when Yan Xin posted, the forum had more than 10,000 people online, and it was already one of the most popular forums on the site.

When a post is sent, there will be a lot of clicks soon, even if it is posted by a newcomer, the number of clicks is higher than the popular post on the unpopular forum.

Yan Xin used a new account to post, and after posting, he returned a few posts before quitting.

He just participated in this event, and let Ellili see the photos of his hometown by posting, and he didn't think about how many Starlight Coins he would get if he got the ranking.

He didn't need it.

After replying to a few posts, I changed to the account of my website director and went to various forums to see if there were any problems.

On the 23rd, I drove home from Yangcheng early in the morning, and after that, I was relatively busy, and I didn't have time to inspect the various forums of the website, and I didn't know if there was any major problem.

After looking around, I didn't find any major problems, so I slept with peace of mind.

It was already half-past eleven when I went to bed.

He slept late that day, and woke up at eight o'clock the next morning, and it was his father who woke him up, and he had already made breakfast and was about to get up to eat.

He didn't go anywhere that day, he was still in charge of lunch and dinner, and in the morning he walked around the fields with his father for more than an hour, and the father and son talked about what crops should be planted next year, and what fish should be raised in the pond.

According to Yan Xin's idea, there is no need to plant cotton at home, it is more difficult to grow cotton, and pesticides have to be sprayed from time to time, which is not good for the body, so it is better to grow some food.

Although you can't make much money growing grain, you won't lose money if you have a subsidy for growing grain.

The most important thing is that now there is a harvester in the village, and harvesting one acre of land is a hundred yuan, so it doesn't have to be so hard.

Yan Xin knew that his father couldn't be idle and had time to do some farm work, so he didn't object so much, but harvesting rice was still relatively hard, and if it could be replaced by machinery, then replace it with machinery.

His family's fish pond is not big, and he can't raise many fish, so he can earn a few hundred yuan a year by relying on this fish pond in the past two years, and he can keep a little for himself to eat.

But it is not easy to raise fish, every day to mow the grass to feed the fish, not to mention, when it rains heavily in summer, you have to be afraid, for fear that the water will flood the fish pond, and it is not easy to raise the big fish to run out.

It's not unheard of that this kind of thing happening.

When it rains heavily, it is necessary to use that kind of screen to prevent the fish from swimming elsewhere after the water floods the pond dam.

There is one more thing to worry about, and that is stealing fish.

There are fish thieves in the village, and they go to other people's fish ponds at night to put nets and drag fish, or they carry batteries to fish, and if they don't look at it, the fish they have worked so hard to raise will be stolen.

Yan Xin also suggested that his father raise less fish, it is better not to raise them, and open the opening between the fish pond and the ditch outside, and collect some wild fish a year.

You can't earn money, but it's enough to eat yourself, and it's easy.

Yan's father disagreed, thinking that it was too wasteful to do nothing in such a big fish pond.

The father and son argued for a few words, and finally Yan's father agreed to Yan Xin's suggestion not to raise fish, mainly not because he was tired, but because he was too bad at stealing fish, and it was not a matter to watch it every day.

However, the fish pond will not be abandoned there, and he decided to plant lotus seeds next year.

Now the price of lotus seeds is good, and they can be sold for a few pounds when they come to collect them, and the income is no worse than that of fish farming.

In winter, you can dig lotus roots with diligence, which is another income.

Moreover, the pond where lotus root is planted, even if you don't raise fish, you can collect a little crucian carp or something during the New Year, which is enough for yourself to eat.

Father and son have reached an agreement on this matter.

When I got home, I started preparing my lunch meal.

In the afternoon, Yan Xin didn't go anywhere, so he surfed the Internet on his mobile phone at home, browsed his website, and chatted with a few friends on QQ from time to time.

During the period, I chatted with Chen Li for more than half an hour.

It's not about the plot, it's about something else.

Chen Li said that he was ready to go home, and he had a headache about how to deal with Liang Wei.

The home he said was not the home of Baijingyuan in Yangcheng, but his hometown.

Now his place is more than a thousand kilometers away from his hometown, and now he can drive there to get home before the Chinese New Year, and there will not be much rush on the road.

However, this time he came out with Liang Wei, and he didn't want to take Liang Wei home.

Bringing her home means admitting that she is his girlfriend, and Chen Li doesn't have that idea for the time being.

He directly told Yan Xin that he didn't want to marry Liang Wei.

He admitted that Liang Wei had some things he liked, but he didn't think Liang Wei was a suitable candidate for a wife, and he didn't want to get married now.

He does not rule out that he will get married and have children in the future, but at least for ten years he does not want to be bound by marriage, he wants to live more freely.

It's been two years since I came out.,I haven't been home once during this period.,The relationship with the family is not very drip.,Suddenly this idea came to me.,It's to read those posts on the Starlight Network Travel Forum to go home for the New Year.,I want to see how my hometown is now.。

Coming home was a no-brainer for him.

However, no matter how bad the relationship with the family is, bringing a woman home is to recognize Liang Wei's identity, which is not the identity of a girlfriend, and can evolve into a fiancΓ©e.

He didn't want that.

But leaving Liang Wei on the way felt a bit unauthentic.

So complaining to Yan Xin, I also hope that Yan Xin can help him come up with an idea.

Yan Xin knew what Chen Li thought of Liang Wei, and frankly speaking, he was very unimpressed, feeling that it was an irresponsible mentality.

But he didn't want to change Chen Li's mind either.

Regarding Chen Li's tangled questions, he said that he couldn't help.

Chen Li said his idea - to find a reason to quarrel with Liang Wei, so that he could justifiably leave her on the road, and then drive back to his hometown by himself.

Yan Xin was a little surprised: "Will Liang Wei quarrel with you now?" ”

In his impression, Liang Wei has always behaved very humble in front of Chen Li, not like a girlfriend, but a maid - in fact, Liang Wei does such a job, and receives a salary of 1,000 yuan from Chen Li every month.

Until now, Chen Li has never admitted that Liang Wei is his girlfriend.

Whether Liang Wei will feel like that herself, Yan Xin doesn't know, she only knows that the relationship between the two is not that normal couple, and the status is very unequal.

A few days ago, I heard Chen Li complain that Liang Wei was inflated, but he only said that she had different opinions in some aspects, not to the point of quarreling.

Now he actually said that he was going to quarrel, which made Yan Xin a little surprised - quarreling this kind of thing, one person can't do it, there must be an opponent.

But Liang Wei's cautious appearance of an angry little daughter-in-law, can she quarrel with Chen Li?

Chen Li said angrily: "Her wings are hard now, and she will already quarrel with me." ”

Then he gave an example: "Yesterday I ate a tofu brain, she quarreled with me, she said that tofu brain must be sweet, hehe, it's really ridiculous!" Isn't tofu brain just salty? How can you eat that sweet? ”

Yan Xin was shocked, he didn't expect Chen Li's thick eyebrows and big eyes to be a salty party.

I originally wanted to say "how to eat salty tofu brain", but the word was typed out, and it was finally deleted - this is his very important partner, and he can't make it impossible for his partners because of the salty and sweet dispute.

He can still tell which is more important.

There was some curiosity: "Which of you won the quarrel in the end?" ”

Chen Li responded very depressedly: "No one won the quarrel, and in the end, they didn't eat tofu brain." ”

Yan Xin: "So you are still in a state of cold war?" ”

Chen Li: "It was originally in a state of cold war, but it was reconciled again at night. ”

Then he expressed his regret: "I should have restrained myself if I knew it, and took this opportunity to throw her here and drive home by myself." ”

Yan Xin could only come up with an idea: "Why don't you order another tofu brain today." ”

Chen Li: "It's useless, she ordered tofu brain this morning, salty, she told me it was delicious." ”

Yan Xin couldn't help but scold: "She's like this, you still want to throw her on the road, aren't you still a man?" ”
