"Of course we did. Before entering university, he planned to return to his hometown to teach after graduation. But since the reform and opening up, he has changed his mind a little."

"I think I should go out and explore more while I'm still young, and then come back to support the development of my hometown when I'm more capable."

"Really? Teacher Ye is very idealistic and sentimental! Sister Huifang, what about you and the child? What are your plans then?"

"I've always thought that he would return to the commune after graduation, so I didn't have any other ideas. I just wanted to bring my child here, run the shop well, and wait for him to come back."

"But now, we can only wait and see what Mr. Ye decides. If he really plans to work elsewhere, then my child and I will have no choice but to follow his lead!"

"Ah, this house in the commune, and this shop, are all the result of my hard work. Thinking about abandoning everything here and starting over in a strange place, I always feel a little regretful and reluctant."

Fan Huifang looked around the home where she had lived for several years.

Although this house was originally built by her and Ye Zhicheng together with money.

But all the furniture and small items in this house were carefully arranged by her, and she has feelings for each of them.

And this breakfast shop is the result of her pouring a lot of effort and hard work into it.

"Sister Huifang, I understand your feelings for this house and the breakfast shop. Even if you start over somewhere else in the future, this house will still belong to you. It's not like you won't be coming back."

"The world outside is really big, Sister Huifang. You are still so young and capable. You should go out and explore it."

"When you've had enough of the outside world and seen enough, you'll come back here with a completely different feeling. I bet that feeling won't include any regrets!"

"Xiaobei, from what you said, you support me and my husband to follow Teacher Ye and go out and work hard?"

"Yes! Sister Huifang, I know you are an independent and capable woman. You don't like people to think you rely on men, but it's not shameful for a wife to follow her husband's lead!"

"A couple can work hard in the same place and still make a career independently. Look at my sister-in-law. Some people may have thought that she was a burden to my eldest brother when she brought her two children to Beijing with her."

"But my eldest sister-in-law didn't. On the contrary, during the years that my eldest brother was in college, it was actually her small business that supported their small family."

"I've witnessed their relationship with my own eyes over the past three years. They've truly grown more loving and supportive of each other. Sometimes I even envy them a little!"

"Xiaobei, after listening to what you said, I'm a little envious of Sister Hongmian and Brother Duan. I know that sometimes I just lack the courage and willingness to make sacrifices, so I'm a little indecisive."

"Sister Huifang, in life, you have to give up before you can gain!"

"Well, Xiaobei, I understand. It's like saying you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child, and you can't go far without sacrificing your hometown."

"Xiaobei, when it comes to courage and vision, I have to learn from you. I can't keep myself confined to this small world at such a young age. Times have changed, and I have to change with them!"

"Sister Huifang, that's right!"

Hearing Fan Huifang's words, Shen Xiaobei felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

A few years ago, Fan Huifang became a millionaire.

At that time, she was indeed living a pretty good life in a place like this town.

However, Shen Xiaobei knew very well that a household with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan would be nothing in a few years, and even now in the city, a household with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan would be nothing.

Although Fan Huifang's breakfast shop has always been doing good business, making breakfast is too hard work.

Moreover, there is a limit to the income you can earn from opening a breakfast shop here.

If you want to double your wealth and move up your family's economic class, for example, from a ten thousand yuan household to a millionaire, or even higher, it will take countless years.

But it’s different in big cities.

There are many opportunities in big cities. As long as you are brave enough to take risks and work hard, it may only take a few years or even a dozen years to double your wealth.

This is something that Fan Huifang's breakfast shop can never achieve.

Next, Shen Xiaobei told Fan Huifang in detail about her career in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shantou and Donghai.

Fan Huifang's eyes widened as she heard this, feeling shocked and curious.

She knew that Shen Xiaobei had opened a magazine company and a lingerie store in Beijing, but she didn’t expect that she would make the business so big and spread across several cities.

When they first went to the countryside in Baiju Brigade, they had the same starting point.

Later, Shen Xiaobei lived with the army in the military compound. He had no formal job and made a living by writing as a hobby and earning royalties.

She opened a shop in the commune and became a millionaire.

The gap between the two at that time was not that big, or even that there was no gap.

But Shen Xiaobei had only been in Beijing for three years, and the gap between the two in their careers had become so great that it was like a small witch meeting a big witch.

Fan Huifang is not a person who likes to compare with others or is jealous.

But while she was happy and admired Shen Xiaobei as a good sister, she couldn't help feeling a little lost.

The ancients said, things change over time.

The ancients were actually too conservative.

It doesn't take thirty years to reach Hedong and Hexi. It turns out that three years is enough!

After the two finished talking about their careers, Shen Xiaobei asked Fan Huifang about Mu Fangting.

After all, they had lived together before, so she really wanted to know how this silly woman who was a little lovesick when she was young was doing now?

"Sister Huifang, have you seen Mu Fangting often in recent years? How is she doing?"
