Excellent little farmer

Back in the room, Fang Zhengyuan got hot water, soaked the instant noodles, and ate them hungrily. He must have been very hungry. In less than three minutes, he ate all the soup and noodles.

He threw down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, blew out the smoke ring and said: "Xiaoquan, my father-in-law's house seems to have a lot of guests these days."

I hummed and said in an understatement: "They are all colleagues from Uncle Song's Agricultural Machinery Factory. They are here to talk about work."

Fang Zhengyuan smiled, crossed his legs, and said lazily: "I heard that it was you who wrote some materials that attracted the attention of the city leaders. You are so powerful now, and so are my father-in-law's colleagues in the agricultural machinery factory. It’s for your sake.”

I waved my hand and said calmly: "How can you say that? Uncle Song has always been practical in his work, and the leaders of the agricultural machinery factory also quite recognized him."

Fang Zhengyuan dusted off the cigarette ashes and said with some annoyance: "Actually, if I hadn't been injured and stayed in the army to develop, I might have worn a few bars now, and I wouldn't be as depressed as I am now."

I looked him over, smiled, and said softly: "Brother Fang, we are a family. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Fang Zhengyuan took a puff of cigarette and said hesitantly: "Xiaoquan, can you do me a favor and get me to work in the agricultural machinery factory? I promise to do a good job and never embarrass you."

I was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Brother Fang, wouldn't it be great for you to help Sister Jiaqi look after the store? Besides, even if you want to work in an agricultural machinery factory, just go to Uncle Song directly. Why would you ask me for help?" , after all, I am not from an agricultural machinery factory, isn’t this a long detour?”

"Before, when I was not married, it was okay to work for Jiaqi, but now that I am married, I am always working under my wife, and people will gossip about me!"

Fang Zhengyuan scratched his head, smiled coquettishly, and continued: "As for asking you to help me enter the agricultural machinery factory... Hehe! My father-in-law and mother-in-law definitely don't believe that I can quit gambling. Besides, you are of more importance to them than my son-in-law." It’s much heavier…”

I thought for a while and said: "This should be okay, but you have to give me some time. You know, I have just joined the work after all. Even if some leaders look at me differently, I can't just go along with it." If you climb up, you will not only be looked down upon by others, but the boss may get angry, and your plan to join the agricultural machinery factory will be ruined."

Fang Zhengyuan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, Xiaoquan, you have been thoughtful. This matter is not urgent. I can help Brother Fang complete the trip within half a year."

I also smiled, nodded and said, "Brother Fang, if you are willing to find a serious job, I will support you."

Fang Zhengyuan dusted off the cigarette ashes and said softly: "Xiaoquan, tell me from the bottom of my heart, our family has been able to support itself all these years thanks to you, Sister Jiaqi. I watched helplessly from the side, but couldn't help. I am very busy and feel very uncomfortable. If I can go to work in an agricultural machinery factory, the pressure on my family will be relieved a lot."

I put away my smile and muttered: "Brother Fang, your idea is good, but I am always worried that if you can't quit gambling, sooner or later you will go bankrupt. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Fang Zhengyuan stretched out his right hand and made a vow: "Xiaoquan, don't worry. From today on, if you bet again, I will cut off one of my fingers until it's all gone."

I was stunned for a moment, and said, dumbfounded: "Look at what you said, is it so difficult to quit?"

Fang Zhengyuan took a puff of cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, and said with a wry smile: "How should I put it? Every time I quit gambling, I would feel upset, nervous and anxious, and would have insomnia all night long. Only when I enter the casino can I get excited. .”

I waved my hand and said calmly: "If you have endless things to do every day, you can slowly overcome it."

"you're right."

Fang Zhengyuan yawned, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said with a smile: "Xiaoquan, if you have nothing to do, come with me and bring your sister Jiaqi back. I guess she should have calmed down by now. .”

I waved my hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Why should I get involved in the affairs between you two?"

Fang Zhengyuan sighed and said angrily: "Let's go. My mother-in-law's family has strong opinions. I can't even get in without you!"

I smiled, shook my head and said, "Brother Fang, you are such a failure as an uncle."

Fang Zhengyuan looked sad and waved his hands: "There is no way, I don't have any money in my pocket, I won't be welcomed anywhere!"

I frowned slightly and said unceremoniously: "Excuse!"

Fang Zhengyuan walked to the door and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you half-grown brat, don't lecture me!"

The two of us went downstairs together. I pushed the bicycle out of the carport and took Fang Zhengyuan out of the community and headed for the eastern suburbs.

Halfway through, Fang Zhengyuan looked up at the sky and murmured in a low voice: "Xiaoquan, think about it, actually getting divorced is not a bad thing. I have dragged Jiaqi down for these years. No wonder I can't bear it. If we break up, she will also Relief."

I didn't say anything, and after being silent for a while, I said softly: "Since you think so, why not be nice to her, put in more effort, and live a good life?"

Fang Zhengyuan shook his head gently and said with a frown: "Everyone can tell the truth, but how can I live a good life like this?"

I smiled and comforted me softly: "Brother Fang, as long as you work hard, you will be able to get rid of the current situation sooner or later. We are still young and have many opportunities to make money."

"It's not just about money." Fang Zhengyuan covered his face with his hands and said painfully: "I'm not afraid of being poor. What I'm afraid of is not having a career path in life."

I frowned slightly and sympathized with this man, so I whispered, "Brother Fang, be more open-minded and don't always get into trouble."

Fang Zhengyuan nodded, took out another cigarette and lit it, and slowly smoked it. His face was full of melancholy. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "We really shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. Jiaqi is a good woman. I hurt her."

I was silent and rode my bike very fast. I quickly got on the dirt road and walked forward along the winding path. In the distance, I could see a hill covered with lush trees and Aunt Wenying’s house. , not far from the foot of the mountain.

Fang Zhengyuan took a long drag on his cigarette and asked softly: "Xiaoquan, have you read all those magazines?"

I smiled and said casually: "Look, it's not bad."

Fang Zhengyuan coughed a few times and said in a dry voice: "Although the magazine looks good, a real person is more beautiful. Xiaoquan, if you have a chance, Brother Fang will take you out to play, how about it?"

I smiled and shook my head, muttering to myself: I have experience in this area, why do I need you to lead me to play?

Fang Zhengyuan touched his chin and said hesitantly: "What if... it wasn't those women, but a very beautiful one..."

I smiled and interrupted him: "Brother Fang, stop thinking so wildly. You should just think about how to make Sister Jiaqi happy right now!"

But Fang Zhengyuan shook his head, jumped out of the car, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoquan, stop, let's discuss some serious matters."

I frowned slightly, braked the car, turned around and said, "Brother Fang, what's wrong with you today? It seems weird."

Fang Zhengyuan squatted on the side of the road, holding his head with his hands, and said with a painful expression: "Xiaoquan, Brother Fang needs your help, this time it's not about borrowing money."

I set up my bicycle, walked over, and said softly: "Brother Fang, what's going on? Just tell me."

Fang Zhengyuan looked down at his feet and said absently: "It's a little hard to say, Xiaoquan, Brother Fang wants to tell you a secret, but you have to promise not to spread this matter."

I immediately understood what he wanted to say, shook my head and said, "Brother Fang, I understand everything you want to say, but I'm really sorry, I can't help with that matter."

Fang Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, then he woke up and said with a wry smile: "As expected, you heard everything about the quarrel that day."

I didn't deny it, but said softly: "Brother Fang, if you really want a child, just adopt one."

Fang Zhengyuan shook his head and said calmly: "It's useless. I have a relative in my family, and one of them was adopted. As a result, when the child grew up, he was very unfilial and beat the old man until he almost died."

"That's just an isolated phenomenon after all." I scratched my head a little. In fact, I couldn't think of any good solution on this matter.

Fang Zhengyuan raised his head and said with trembling lips: "It's all my fault for that exercise, Male Gobi! That new recruit threw the grenade in the wrong place. If I hadn't pounced on him, several people around him would have been wiped out."

I nodded and whispered: "I heard this, Brother Fang, you are actually very good-hearted and kind."

"What's the use?" Fang Zhengyuan turned his face to the side and said softly: "Xiaoquan, now that this matter has been made clear, there is no room for maneuver anymore. Can you help me with this? "

I shook my head and refused: "Brother Fang, the relationship between me and Sister Jiaqi is just that of sister and brother, and we cannot have such a relationship."

Fang Zhengyuan sighed and said sadly: "That's why I'm looking for you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be worried. Jiaqi is so beautiful, and it's hard to let go if someone else takes advantage of it. It will be very troublesome in the future. How do you think about it?" Be kind and never harm me."

I blushed, waved my hands repeatedly, and said, "Brother Fang, please stop talking. This is absolutely not allowed."

Fang Zhengyuan came over, shook my shoulders, and said anxiously: "Just once, as long as we win, the two of us will move far away, and we can live our own lives without disturbing each other, how about it?"

I turned my face to the side and said softly: "Even if I am willing to do this, Sister Jiaqi will not agree."

After hearing this, Fang Zhengyuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said hurriedly: "Xiaoquan, don't worry, I will find a way to do her job, women! It's all like that, even if your mind is alive, My mouth would never agree to it either.”

I took a deep breath and said softly: "Brother Fang, don't be impatient. This is too sudden. Let me think about it again."

Fang Zhengyuan was sweating on his forehead, and he pleaded with all his strength: "Xiaoquan, you must help me with this!"

I thought for a long time, gritted my teeth, nodded with a wry smile, "Okay, if Sister Jiaqi agrees, I will do it."
