Chapter 668 Surprise on April Fool's Day(1/3)
The early morning sunlight drifts into the window.
Sunshine on lazy people.
After Huhuhehehe completed the barrier-free 10 kilometers with the village chief, Erzi, and Sanmao, Fang Nian simply took a warm shower and changed into clean clothes.
Walking out of the bathroom, Fang Nian paused for a moment, then suddenly threw himself on the bed and picked up Lu Weiyu, who had already opened her eyes.
"Giggle~"
Lu Weiyu couldn't help laughing.
It's like being scratched.
Ringing the old man's neck, Lu Weiyu pretended to be dissatisfied: "Let me sleep in a little bit."
"It's barely seven o'clock now."
Fang Nian said seriously: "Going to bed early and getting up early will bring you wealth and happiness."
"Okay~" Lu Weiyu raised her eyebrows and said happily, "Then I will get up with you tomorrow."
Fang Nian blinked and said politely: "Is it an April Fool's Day surprise?"
"Disgusting!" Hearing this, Lu Weiyu punched Fang Nian on the shoulder.
Then he kissed Fang Nian on the mouth: "I told you to talk nonsense and you will stink to death."
"Really? I'll smell it again." Fang Nian looked at Lu Weiyu and said seriously.
"..."
After fussing for a long time, Fang Nian finally hugged Lu Weiyu and finished washing.
After breakfast, Fang Nian took the rare opportunity to drive Lu Weiyu to Puruan.
Behind them were two inconspicuous Volkswagen Magotans.
After seeing Lu Weiyu off, Fang Nian walked along the highway to Mingzhu Primary School, followed by one less Magotan.
This is a batch of cars purchased in one go a few days ago.
There are a total of six Magotans with the same configuration, and one large business car.
In the blink of an eye, it is already April in the world.
The chaos in March can be considered to have come to an end.
The first day of April falls on Friday.
Coupled with the upcoming Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, Fang Nian has a consecutive five-day holiday that is quite impressive in the eyes of salarymen.
Not long after, Fang Nian walked into the old-fashioned small building where Lin Feng and Fang Xin lived.
Ms. Lin Feng was shuttling back and forth, busy here and there.
"Mom, haven't you finished packing yet?"
Lin Feng replied: "Immediately."
But he was not idle at all.
After looking at Ms. Lin Feng's clothes, Fang Nian simply sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water.
Ten minutes later, Ms. Lin Feng appeared in the living room again, looking brand new.
"Okay, let's go."
Fang Nian then slowly stood up.
"..."
Qingming Festival is coming soon, and Ms. Lin Feng is going back to her hometown of Tangli.
Although it has been less than a month since I last returned to my hometown.
But it was not that he had a lot of work to do in Shanghai, so Lin Feng planned to go home to visit the grave in person, and also visit Fang Zhengguo, who was alone at home.
After all, in terms of convenience of life, Maoba is indeed not as convenient as Shanghai.
Don't be hungry and full at home.
On the way to the airport, Ms. Lin Feng warned: "Fang Xin has to go to school tomorrow, don't forget this."
"We will pick you up at 3:10 in the afternoon. There are different areas according to the order of classes."
"..."
Fang Nian wrote them down one by one.
After saying these things, Ms. Lin Feng put on a concerned tone and asked: "Are you not busy these days?"
"Basically not busy anymore." Fang Nian replied with a smile.
"..."
"What's going on with Li Annan?"
"It's okay, it's not something that needs to be done in a hurry."
"..."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng finally asked: "You seem to care a lot about your classmates, why do you seem so stingy in Maoba?"
After all, Fang Nian's arrangements for Li Annan were not kept secret from Lin Feng.
Another investment of 10 million, and another personal loan of 3 million.
In comparison, even Lin Li and Lin Nan are just a drop in the bucket.
Fang Nian had already expected that Lin Feng would ask this question, so he sorted it out and answered calmly: "How should I put it? There is a big difference here;
Maoba is our roots, and our neighbors are a family up to three or four generations apart, bound by blood ties. With such a close relationship, deep down in our hearts we are extremely worried that our lives will be much better than theirs;
If not handled well, it will lead to some irreparable things happening;
Moreover, due to its remote location, most people are not well educated. Facing the great tide of the times, they are unable to find their own bright future, and I cannot provide very good help;
A small amount of financial support can be helpful, but a small amount of financial support can be a catastrophic disaster.”
"One more thing, actually I don't care about my hometown. Otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble to ask my father to set up a construction team? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to come to Shanghai like you?
During the Spring Festival of the past two years, I have often shown you some easy ways.
With such invisible help, as long as everyone is willing to put in the effort, they will be able to gain far more than before, and they will feel that everything is achieved by their own ability, which will give them a greater sense of accomplishment."
"..."
At the end, Fang Nian said quietly: "Actually, I don't care. From a certain perspective, I can put interests first and be ruthless;
There are only a dozen households in Maoba, and even if one company builds a company with assets worth hundreds of millions, it will not affect my net worth;
But how many people will be able to live a normal life by then?"
Before Lin Feng could speak, Fang Nian added: "As for Li Annan and the others, this is actually human nature. It is easier to see what is in front of you than what is far away;
They are in front of my eyes every day, so of course I will get closer to them, and since I have a certain foundation, it will naturally be easier to spot opportunities."
"If Brother Nan and Sister Li find a good opportunity, I will also have other arrangements. It's just a matter of whether or not I will come forward in person."
"When I lent money back home, I never thought about paying it back. I just talked about it just to spur them on."
In comparison, Fang Nian's interest in Mao Ba was actually for the sake of Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng.
And the attraction to Li Annan, Lin Yucong and others is purely because of their friendship.
Plus, it's right next to your eyes, so you'll pay more attention to it, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
but……
Comparing the two, Fang Nian's handling of the Maoba matter was gentler, more comprehensive, and more balanced.
It is also more time consuming.
In the past two years, let every household gradually become well-off.
Allowing one or two more thoughtful people to get rich first, well... can probably be said to be a practical exploration of communist villageization.
For someone as lazy as Fang Nian, I don’t know how many more brain cells this cost!
Not only to prevent the neighbors from thinking that the old Fang family is domineering, but also to prevent the neighbors from being too jealous and alienating them.
After listening to Fang Nian's explanation, Lin Feng was silent for a long time.
I remembered many, many things.
That cement road that most people in Maoba still sigh with emotion occasionally,
The bridge that was repaired together,
The street lights that were newly built at the end of last year?
Since last year, Lao Fang’s house has been bustling every year and festival.
I also thought of the facades on Tongfeng streets that everyone seemed to have completely forgotten.
To be continued...
