Rebirth, Starting from 2005

Under Yan Xin's persuasion, his father finally agreed not to plant double-cropping rice in the future.

Yan's father was not particularly surprised that his son suddenly became so sensible, but felt that his son had grown up.

There is still a little regret - if this son was sensible earlier, he could study hard in junior high school, and maybe he could be admitted to university.

That's called an exit.

This can also comfort the spirit of the wife in heaven.

But after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again, full of bitterness—even if his son was admitted to university, where would he borrow money to pay his tuition?

In this day and age, it is still very difficult for rural families to support a college student.

Especially in his family's situation, there was no place to borrow money.

In the next few days, Yan Xin would help his father with some farm work every day.

He doesn't have much time to work in the fields, but he cooks three meals a day.

The weather is too hot, and his father is reluctant to make his son work too hard, so cooking is quite suitable.

In his previous life, Yan Xin didn't know how to cook at this age. After going out to work, he gradually learned to cook by himself. The cooking is not very good, but it's not bad, at least it's better than his father's cooking Some.

His father is a rough guy, and his requirements for food are as long as they can be eaten, and he can do whatever he can to save trouble.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Yan Xin was washing vegetables in the kitchen when he heard someone calling his name outside:

"Yan Xin, are you home?"

Hearing that voice was somewhat familiar, when he walked out, it was Feng Chen who had attempted suicide a few days ago.

There is something strange: "What do you want from me?"

Although they were classmates from elementary school to junior high school, the two of them were not in the same production team. They just knew each other and had no friendship. They had never visited each other before, so he asked this question.

Feng Chen felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Then what, didn't you save me a few days ago? My mother asked me to invite you to my house for dinner, and said I would like to thank you."

What happened to the real situation of jumping into the river and saving people, both of them knew, so he was a little embarrassed.

But at that time, he really didn't want to live anymore. Without Yan Xin, he would have become a dead person.

It is said that Yan Xin saved him and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that the jumping into the river later was purely a play to deal with public opinion, to prove that he didn't pretend to commit suicide to threaten his family.

Yan Xin was very strange: "It's been a few days since this happened, and I just remembered to call me for dinner today. Is your family's reflex arc so long?"

"Uh," Feng Chen became even more embarrassed, "A fish died in my fish pond today..."

Yan Xin pouted.

It would be too dishonest to invite someone to dinner without any meat dishes.

I didn't ask him to come over for dinner a few days ago, probably because he was reluctant to prepare meat dishes.

I picked up a dead fish today, which can be regarded as a meat dish, so I took care of it by the way.

I thought to myself: "So stingy, it really is the mother-in-law I know well..."

Shaking his head, he said, "No."

Feng Chen quickly explained: "The fish just died, it's still fresh, and it's still bleeding when it's stabbed."

"It doesn't matter if the fish is new or not," Yan Xin pointed to the kitchen, "I'm washing the vegetables and I'm about to make lunch. My dad is working outside and pointing at my rice. I'll go to your house for dinner, my dad Aren't you going to be hungry?"

Feng Chen wanted to say, "Then tell your dad to come and eat with me", but he swallowed the words again.

It's not that he was reluctant to add another pair of bowls and chopsticks, but that the reason for inviting him to dinner was to thank Yan Xin for saving him from committing suicide by jumping into the river. , he didn't want more people to know.

Call Yan Xin's father, I'm afraid everyone will know about it, and he won't be able to stay in this village in the future.

Then he said, "Okay then, come to my house to have a meal when you are free."

Yan Xin hummed, agreeing.

But I was thinking in my heart: "Forgive me, I don't want to see the face of your parents again in this life."

Feng Chen was about to go back, turned around before taking a step, turned back, and asked Yan Xin embarrassedly: "You didn't tell anyone about my jumping into the river, did you?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "Why do I say this?"

Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, you must never tell others about this, otherwise I will really lose face."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you." Yan Xin smiled.

He asked curiously, "Does your father know about this?"

"knew."

"Then what was his reaction?"

"He..." Feng Chen's expression was a bit complicated, "He said he would let me repeat the study for another year..."

Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "That's right, you've got your wish. I'll just say it, don't get overthinking it, don't you think it's all right?"

This is understandable.

After all, his son was forced to die, and he really chose to jump into the river. If he wanted to keep his son, he had to agree to repeat his studies.

However, Feng Chen said, "I refused."

When he said this, there was some sadness in his eyes, and it seemed that he was still reluctant to refuse.

Yan Xin was taken aback: "Why? Don't you just want to repeat?"

"The family doesn't have that much money," Feng Chen said depressingly, "my dad said that my sister and I can only have one student who is studying. My sister said that she would stop studying and give me the opportunity to go to work. For me to read."

He asked Yan Xin: "As an older brother, can I make my sister sacrifice her studies to help me, who failed the college entrance examination? Can I let my sister go out to work at the age of sixteen for me to study?"

"So you refused?" Yan Xin was a little surprised.

"Yes, I refused," Feng Chen said, "I told my dad that I will not repeat my studies. I will go out to work to support my sister's studies. She has good academic performance and has a chance to be admitted to university."

Yan Xin has always looked down on Feng Chen, thinking that this person has no responsibility at all. He failed the college entrance examination and jumped into the river to commit suicide, dragging the whole family into the abyss. If he didn't want to repay Feng Xi's kindness in taking care of his father in his previous life, he would not stop this person suicide.

Although I saved his life, I still despise him in my heart.

But now that he heard Feng Chen say that, he had a good impression of him—at least the choice he made now was quite manly, and he knew how to dedicate himself to his sister.

There was some warmth in the eyes looking at Feng Chen, and he said with a smile, "Okay, look like a man."

Feng Chen said unconvinced: "I am a man!"

Part of the reason why he made such a choice to give up his chance to re-study to fulfill his younger sister was because he felt that an older brother should do this. Working part-time to support his education made him feel extremely guilty.

A few days ago, Feng Xi cried bitterly when he saw him commit suicide by jumping into the river, which was deeply engraved in his heart.

His sister is so kind to him, he can't be selfish, that would be looked down upon.

Now Yan Xin looks at him differently, which also strengthens his determination - he must be a good brother who protects his sister.

Yan Xin patted him on the shoulder: "After the double grab, I'm going to go out to work, and then we will be together."
