The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Perhaps Chao Wujun looked too sad, Chao Yao saw it and asked hurriedly:

"Dad, why do you look unhappy? What are you thinking about?"

"I just thought about your brother going to the countryside in two years. Now every household must have at least one person go to the countryside, and he is the only child in our family who meets the requirements."

Chao Jianguo grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.

"Dad, going to the countryside to build the country is something I am very proud of. I can go to the countryside and contribute to it, which is something I have been longing for."

Chao Wujun slapped him on the head and said, "Go to the countryside, go to the countryside. Do you know how many people want to come back after going to the countryside? You have lived in the city since you were a child. You are so delicate and tender, and you have never even cooked a few meals. If you were asked to carry a hoe and a sickle to work in the fields every day, how many days could you endure it?"

"It doesn't matter how hard or tiring it is. We young people must be brave enough to endure hardships and make sacrifices!"

Chao Yao said quietly, "But brother, if you go to the countryside, you will no longer be able to eat delicious food anytime and anywhere. It's impossible for me to go to the countryside, so what will you eat then?"

Chao Jianguo instantly lost his previous momentum, but still stiffened his neck and wanted to refute a few words.

"Brother, if you really want to go to the countryside, we are not in a hurry. After all, there are still two years. In order to make your life better in the countryside, you have to practice in advance from today. You should at least know how to use a hoe and a sickle, right? Hoeing and mowing the grass in the countryside are common things."

Chao Wujun and Lan Lan didn't say anything. They knew that their daughter was doing this for their son's good. How could someone like him stay in the countryside for long?

Young people always have great ideals, but reality will give them a blow.

Some sufferings cannot be overcome by just enduring them. As people who have experienced them, they know this very well.

Chao Yao took out a hoe and a sickle from the space. These were not new and showed obvious signs of use.

"Here... Brother, these two tools will be yours from now on. There is an open space behind our tube building, you can dig there every day. Of course, you can't dig in vain, you can plant some vegetables on it. This is definitely the simplest farm work. After all, there are also things like harvesting wheat and rice. We can't satisfy you for the time being, so just start with the most basic vegetable planting."

It was still a little novel for Chao Jianguo to pick up the hoe and sickle, and the whole family walked towards the open space behind the tube-shaped building in a mighty manner.

Gu Fufeng happened to see it and quickly ran out to greet them.

"Brother Jianguo, Yaoyao, Uncle, Madam, where are you going?"

"Gu Fufeng, my brother is going to dig the ground, do you want to go?"

"Where are you digging? I'll go see too."

"It's in the open space behind us. You can come and take a look. We will see how long my brother can do farm work."

"Okay, Brother Jianguo, you are really amazing. You can actually do this!"

He followed the Chao family to the open space behind the tube building and watched Chao Jianguo waving a hoe.

But in less than ten minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"This thing is too heavy. My arms will break if I do this all day long!"

Chao Yao didn't indulge him. "But brother, if you go to the countryside in the future, you will have to dig the ground like this every day! I heard that those who do farm work get up early and work in the dark. They work from morning to night without a day off. There are all kinds of work in the countryside, and there is always something to do every day."

Gu Fufeng looked for the words "going to the countryside" and asked quickly, "Is Brother Jianguo going to the countryside? Isn't he only 14 years old?"

"My brother will go to the countryside in two years. He is just practicing now."

"Brother Jianguo really needs to practice, otherwise he won't be able to earn work points when he goes to the countryside, and he'll be hungry!"

After being persuaded by his sister, Chao Jianguo picked up the hoe and started swinging it again.

The more he dug, the slower his movements became. After an hour, he completely collapsed on the ground, and the hoe was thrown aside. He didn't even want to look at it.

"No, I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it anymore!"

Gu Fufeng said to him seriously, "Brother Jianguo, my father said that men can't say no!"

Chao Yao pursed her lips, afraid that she would laugh.

Chao Jianguo's face turned dark. "You know nothing! It's easy for you to say, come and dig it yourself and see!"

"Brother Jianguo, I am the only child in our family. I don't need to go to the countryside, right? Even if I do, it's still too early. I have to wait at least another eight or nine years."

"Rolling, rolling, rolling..."

Chao Jianguo yelled at Gu Fufeng weakly, "How could such a good-looking child have such a stinky mouth?"

Chao Wujun looked at his son and asked seriously, "Do you still want to go to the countryside? If you know you have to go to the countryside, shouldn't you practice in advance?"

Chao Jianguo lowered his head and did not answer.

This attitude clearly shows his true thoughts. He really wants to build the countryside and contribute to society and the country.

But this reality is so cruel that he can't seem to bear it!

Lan Lan walked forward and patted Chao Jianguo's shoulder gently.

"There are many ways to contribute to the country, society and the people, and you don't have to use only this one method. Each of us is a screw in this society, and it is enough to do our part as a screw. Do what you are capable of. You are still young, and you may not know the future path clearly."

Chao Jianguo raised his head, his eyes red.

"I'm not sure. I stay at home every day, reading books and writing. I don't know what I can do in the future. The only thing I can do is to follow the instructions. But now it seems that I can't even follow the instructions. Mom, do you think I am useless?"

"No, my son is only 14 years old now, but he has already learned all the knowledge of high school. Because of this, your parents have always been proud of you. And you are still healthy and have lived peacefully until now. For your parents, this is the greatest comfort."

"But what's the point of learning all this? I can't go to college, and I can't even find a job."

Chao Yao said to him seriously, "Brother, if the country wants to develop and the people want to live a good life, they cannot lack professional talents. Universities are places to cultivate high-level professional talents, and they will definitely continue to open up. Our country will definitely get better and better, and the present days will definitely become the past. As long as each of us firmly believes in this and works together for it, we will definitely be able to wait until that day comes!"

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too sincere that Chao Jianguo believed her.
