As Feng Haidong and his son boarded the train to the provincial capital, he couldn't help but think: "If there were a high-speed rail, it would only take half an hour to get to the provincial capital. We could go back and forth every day!"

Although it wasn't Feng Qifan's first time taking a train, this was indeed his first time taking a train to the provincial capital right after school with his schoolbag on his back, so he was a little excited.

Just then, a food cart came along the train, and Feng Haidong asked, "Are you hungry? I'll buy you a boxed meal to tide you over."

Feng Qifan was in high spirits and didn't feel hungry at all.

"Dad, I'm not hungry. Let's eat at Aunt's house."

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "The train will take a while, and it will also take time to get to your aunt's house after we get off the train. I'm afraid we won't make it in time for dinner at your aunt's house."

After listening for a moment, Feng Qifan said, "Then Dad, aren't you going to eat it?"

Feng Haidong said, "Dad won't eat. Your third aunt will definitely leave some food for me, so Dad will go to your third aunt's house to eat."

Feng Qifan immediately said, "Then I'll go with my dad. We can't let Auntie's kindness go to waste."

Hearing his son's words, Feng Haidong smiled and patted his son, saying, "You little rascal, now you know not to waste your aunt's good intentions?"

Feng Qifan said, "I know, I know my eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt are all looking forward to our visit."

Feng Haidong said, "How can you be so sure?"

Feng Qifan said, "Of course I can be sure, because every time I went with my grandparents when I was little, my three aunts were very nice to me and would vie to let my grandparents stay at their house."

Feng Haidong asked, "So, which of the three aunts do you think is the best?"

Feng Qifan answered without hesitation, "That's fine."

Feng Haidong asked, "What does Dad mean? Which of your three aunts is the best to you?"

Feng Qifan thought about it seriously this time, and finally said, "It's my aunt."

This answer was exactly what Feng Haidong expected.

After all, the older cousin has always been very good to Feng Haidong, so she certainly won't treat Feng Haidong, her younger brother's son, badly either.

Feng Haidong then said to his son, "This time, Dad is going to open a branch in the provincial capital with your aunt. Do you think Dad's choice is right?"

Feng Qifan immediately replied, "Yes."

Feng Haidong asked, "Why?"

Feng Qifan thought about it seriously and said, "Dad, I know that our family is not as familiar with the provincial capital as our home, so when you go to the provincial capital to do business, you will definitely need to find people in the provincial capital to help you. My aunt and I have a very good relationship, and my aunt also runs her own business, so it is right for you to cooperate with my aunt."

Hearing his son's words surprised Feng Haidong.

I never expected my son to be able to analyze things so logically.

Feng Haidong said, "You're right. My father and aunt partnered up because they had these things in mind."

Feng Qifan asked, "Dad, won't my second and third aunts be jealous?"

Feng Haidong immediately laughed: "Hahaha, why would I be jealous? Your second aunt and third aunt both have their own jobs. Your second aunt works at the post office, and your third aunt is a doctor. They can't possibly quit their jobs to do business with Dad."

Feng Qifan nodded and said, "Oh, so my second aunt and third aunt both have good jobs."

Feng Haidong thought for a moment and asked, "Son, do you want to study medicine in the future? Like your third aunt, and become a doctor?"

Feng Qifan immediately said seriously, "Dad, I want to be a scientist when I grow up. I want to build spaceships and go into space."

Seeing his serious expression and hearing his dream, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment.

Feng Haidong was genuinely surprised.

At the same time, Feng Haidong recalled his past life and realized that his son did indeed have such an ideal when he was young.

Unfortunately, his son was not able to work in that direction, and his life took a significant turn.

Feng Haidong couldn't help but feel that perhaps in this life he could create better conditions for his son, and his son would really have the opportunity to realize his dream and dedicate himself to the country's aerospace industry in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng Haidong said to his son with a serious expression, "Since you have such an ideal, then Dad hopes that you can take this ideal as your goal and work hard towards it. In the future, you should be admitted to an aerospace university and realize your ideal."

Feng Qifan turned to look at his father in surprise upon hearing his words.

"Dad, do you really think I can achieve this dream?"

Feng Haidong smiled and countered, "Aren't ideals meant to be realized?"

Feng Qifan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "Yes, yes, Dad, I will definitely work hard."

Feng Haidong said: "Don't care what others think of your ideal. It's your own ideal, and it's only natural for you to work hard for it. Even if others say you're being unrealistic or that it's just wishful thinking, you don't need to pay attention."

If you firmly believe you can achieve it and are willing to put in all your effort to realize your ideal, then perhaps you will eventually succeed.

Feng Haidong originally wanted to say that even if it couldn't be achieved in the end, at least he had experienced it and tried his best, so there was no need to regret it.

But then Feng Haidong realized that he and his children today have heard these kinds of things far too often, both when he was a child.

So he felt there was no need to say such things to his son anymore.

Let your son work hard and give his all towards that goal.

When the son has given his all and may not have achieved his goal, then use these experiences and efforts to comfort him.

Having lived two lives, Feng Haidong believes that conviction is very important.

If you doubt yourself from the very beginning, you might not succeed.

So, one might hold back when putting in effort.

Often, holding back one's own abilities can cause one to always fall just short of success.

Therefore, Feng Haidong felt that his son should maintain this belief and make every effort to uphold it.

Although Feng Haidong didn't know if this would make his son successful.

However, he felt that he was also trying his best. As long as he worked hard to create a way out for his son, even if his son failed in the end, he could still ensure that his son would have enough to eat and wear.

The father and son chatted for a while longer, and the train finally arrived in the provincial capital after swaying and rattling.

As the train pulled into the station, Feng Haidong, who had been sitting for a while, couldn't help but shift his stiff back.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the speed increase of trains, the emergence of bullet trains and high-speed rail, is simply the greatest benefit the country can bring to people's livelihood.

After a moment of reflection, Feng Haidong stretched his body.

I saw that my son couldn't wait to get off the bus.

Feng Haidong smiled and pulled his son aside, saying, "Don't rush. This station is the final stop for this train, so we can wait a while until everyone else gets off before we get off. You see that they have a lot of luggage, so let's not crowd with them and let them get off first."

Upon hearing his father's words, Feng Qifan obediently sat down again.

Feng Haidong also made way for the middle aisle.

The father and son didn't get off the train until everyone else had left.
