The next day.

Early in the morning, it was already extremely lively downstairs. Ji Huai and Shani slept close to the stairs and were woken up.

Ji Fan slept with his parents. Today was the weekend and he didn't have to go to school, but he also woke up, sat up and rubbed his eyes, climbed onto his father's back, and hugged his father with his eyes closed.

Ji Huai moved his shoulders deliberately, and he was startled. After he woke up, he laughed again, and then said in a confused voice, "Dad, I dreamed that I was flying a plane yesterday."

"Where are you flying to?" Ji Huai asked along.

"Go to the big forest and pick mushrooms." He tilted his face and said in a milky voice, "I picked big mushrooms and fed them to the piglets."

"Two little pigs, it's daddy."

...

Ji Fan spoke incoherently, laughing as he spoke, and then started talking nonsense again, with no trace of what he said.

Ji Huai was still very fond of the child and doted on him. He rarely beat or scolded the child. He stood up with his son in his arms and took him to wash up.

Shani found clothes for him and his son, and asked them to change into them. The family of three went downstairs, and Tong Zhenmei's voice kept coming, as if she was chatting with someone.

When I got down, I saw that it was Ji Yongan. He was sitting with his feet crossed. He had a new hairstyle, with the sides shaved and the middle raised up, and he also wore an earring.

Ji Yongan is not as good-looking as Ji Huai, but he knows how to dress up. He wears a white short-sleeved and denim jacket, looking ruffian.

"When did you come back?" Ji Huai walked over and asked.

"I went to the city last night. My friends and classmates invited me to sing, so I just came back today." Ji Yongan took a sip of tea and replied to him.

Ji Huai: "What kind of job are you going to find when you graduate this time? How about applying for a public institution at home?"

In such a small place, public institutions are the best jobs, with stability and good benefits.

"Who's waiting here?" Ji Yong'an objected and raised his voice, "I studied in Haicheng. If I go back to a place like this, and earn two or three thousand after passing the exam, can I earn a house in the Year of the Monkey?"

"I'm annoyed by the people here. It's just a ravine. There's no bigger square here. I'm out of my mind so I stay here. After a while, I will go to the capital, where there are more opportunities to make money."

...

The contempt and arrogance revealed in Ji Yongan's words made people extremely uncomfortable.

Shani felt like he was just scolding them. He looked down on them living here.

Since Ji Yongan left the province and went to college, he has become even more arrogant. When he was admitted to junior college, he even had a drink to celebrate. Because he was the most educated person in the family, almost no one objected to what he said. Tong Zhenmei was even more proud of him.

He responds to requests and praises him like a flower.

Ji Huai nodded and said slowly, "But it will be troublesome for you to go to the capital and be unfamiliar with the place."

"I have many classmates over there, so you don't have to worry about it. You don't understand this anyway." Ji Yongan interrupted him and looked at Tong Zhenmei, "Mom, don't you think so? The opportunities in the capital are definitely better than here.

So much,

"Yes, yes, how can you make any money here?" Tong Zhenmei laughed, "I heard that your little nephew from Aunt Lan's family went to the capital and earned millions a year."

"Isn't it normal to work for a big company and earn millions a year? It's very easy for people to make money." Ji Yong'an gave many more examples, and then said, "My monthly profits are hundreds of thousands. Mom, have you seen it?"

"

"So much? Then you can earn it and let mom enjoy the happiness." Tong Zhenmei has already fantasized about it and set a goal for him, "Earn enough to buy a house in the city and buy a luxury car to drive."

"I will definitely buy it." Ji Yongan said in a confident tone.

Ji Huai and Shani didn't say anything. They said hello and went out to have breakfast with their son in their arms. Tong Zhenmei didn't say anything, but just warned, "I'll buy ingredients later, and then I'll have to do some errands."

Put the things in the kitchen and cook more food today."

"Um."

Shani responded, and then the two left.

Ji Huai held her son in her arms and she walked side by side with him in the town. The pace of life here was extremely slow. Everyone chatted, drank tea, played mahjong, and played chess in the shade of the trees...

Most of the young people have also gone out to work, and many of the ones who remain are middle-aged and elderly people. Many of them have children with them, whom their parents left home for their grandparents to take care of.

As they walked, Shani asked uncertainly, "Are the wages in the capital really that high? I heard that they can earn tens of thousands a month, and I also heard that jobs with such high wages are everywhere."

They have been staying in a small town, and have never been out of the province at most. They don't know what the outside world is like.

"Probably, after all, it is the capital, the most developed place in the country, and it is normal to have money." Ji Huai actually didn't know, but he knew that Ji Yongan was useless except spending money. He spent a high price to study at a junior college, but in fact he didn't even have a diploma.

Get it.

He is good at picking up girls, gambling, dancing, and bragging. He is whimsical and hopeless.

"It's great, it must be very prosperous there, with high-rise buildings." Shani's words were full of envy and yearning, and then she was a little helpless and sad, with a lonely tone, "I'm afraid you'll laugh when I say it. The city I wanted to go to the most before was the capital.

She said she would work hard to take the exam, and she made an appointment with Li Xin. Last time I went back, I heard that she had actually been admitted to a school in the capital. Her and I had similar grades before."

When she was in junior high school, something happened to her family and her father could no longer do heavy work. In a place like this, ordinary people can only do hard work to make money. Without a source of income, they would starve to death.

Her grades plummeted, and she barely finished junior high school.

Originally, she wanted to go to a vocational high school. Some majors were free of tuition, with state support and scholarships, but what about living expenses? She had younger brothers and sisters, so she could only work in tears.

Here, it is very common for people to work out of junior high school. Some girls have dropped out of school before finishing junior high school. It is also common for two little girls to get married.

"Why should I laugh at you? I'm not good at studying yet. My son can just follow you." Ji Huai said with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and added, "I'm not much better, it's just

Just graduated from junior high school."

Shani was amused by him.

"It's a fair deal, but what does it matter whether you study or not? If you can study, study. If you can't study, just find a job." He said it indifferently.

"What are you going to do if you don't study? Are you like us?" Shani couldn't agree with him on this point. He completely gave up on his children's education and felt that reading was a natural talent.

"What's wrong? I can also do crafts, and I won't starve to death." He didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

Shani was helpless and didn't want to argue.

"Reading." Ji Fan looked at his father, nodded vigorously, and pointed to the cake shop, "Eat cake, Dad, I want to eat cake."

"You can eat whatever you want." Ji Huai hugged him and walked in.

Shani: "..."

Her son was so tough that she was a little hesitant when she looked at him.

Could it be that reading is really a natural talent?

The cakes were more expensive than the steamed buns. A cup of soy milk cost four yuan, and a small piece of cake cost eight yuan. Shani was reluctant to eat it, so she delayed ordering it. Ji Huai took three pieces with a wave of his hand.

He is just muddle along, he has no pursuits, no savings, he lives in a haphazard manner, with no desires or desires.

After eating the cake, Ji Huai took him past the supermarket. The little guy's eyes were sharp and he saw an airplane store. He shook his hand and kept asking him to buy it.

"dad!"

"I want a big plane."

The three-and-a-half-year-old child is just being willful, pouting his little mouth and looking at the plane eagerly.

"No, you just asked your mother to buy a toy gun yesterday." Shani shook her head and rejected him.

"Dad." Ji Fan knew that Ji Huai responded to his requests and continued to look at him, "Xiaofan wants a big plane, I want it."

He dragged his voice and almost rolled on the ground, shaking his father's hand all the time.

"How to sell this?" Ji Huai walked over and asked.

Ji Fan walked over with his little feet, and even leaned over to look at it, touching it with his little hands, wanting to know so much.

"The price is a bit expensive because it's remote-controlled. It costs two hundred and seventy." The shop owner walked out and said.

"Let's go, he just makes a fuss, how can he like it so much?" Shani quickly pulled him away as soon as she heard the price.

Two hundred and seventy, it's very expensive, isn't that a waste?

Ji Huai indeed had no money. He looked at his son in embarrassment. He pointed at the plane with coaxing eyes and writhed in his arms, "Dad, I want a plane, I want a plane."

Xu Shi dreamed yesterday that this time Ji Fan wanted it more than before and kept begging him, "I want a plane. Dad, I want one."

He has no concept of money, he only knows that his father will buy it for him.

"Dad can't afford it." Ji Huai said truthfully, coaxing him, "Wait a few days, and dad will have the money to buy it for you, okay?"

Ji Fan became quiet and clasped his little fingers, "How many days is tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow." Ji Huai replied.

He frowned, as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Is that tomorrow? Dad will buy it when I go to kindergarten."

He said Monday.

Ji Huai didn't know what to say, so he simply said, "When dad has money, dad will buy it for you right away."

"Mom will take you to buy a small one tomorrow. You can't play with that one." Shani also coaxed him, for fear that Ji Huai would buy it.

He would really secretly buy snacks for his children behind her back, and he would buy snacks that his son would not allow if he wanted them, unless he couldn't afford them.

"I want a big plane." He was not happy and said, "I can play with it. Mom, I can play with a big plane."

"Xiaofan, be obedient." Shani looked at her son.
