Stop Joking! You Really Quit Your Job to Go Back Home and Farm?

Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...

Chapter 2 Lin Anshu, are you out of your mind?

Lin Anshu's home is in the countryside.

It's only about 200 kilometers from Ancheng, where I work, to my hometown.

If you're driving, it takes about two and a half hours to get there.

The problem is that Lin Anshu's hometown is quite remote, and there is no direct bus.

If she wants to go home, she has to take a bus from her rented place, then transfer to the subway, and finally take a bus that takes more than two hours from the bus station.

After getting off the bus, take a rural bus to the intersection, and then call your family to pick you up.

Or she doesn't have to ask anyone to pick her up; she can walk for more than half an hour to get home.

Lin Anshu is a woman of action.

Having made up her mind to go back home and farm, she immediately called her landlady to cancel the lease.

She sent the bedding and other heavy items back via courier.

Throw away small items that need to be thrown away, and tidy up items that need to be tidied up.

After finishing all that, she pulled her suitcase and carried her backpack, embarking on her journey home.

When the bus was almost in the county town, she called her family to ask if her father had time to come and pick her up.

When Lin Anshu got off the car and reached the intersection, she immediately saw her father waiting for her there.

It was already getting dark.

The dim streetlights cast a warm, yellowish glow on Mr. Lin's face, making him look exceptionally kind and honest.

"Why are you back so soon? Are you hungry? Your mom made you dinner at home. Come on, let's go home!"

Mr. Lin had already gotten off his tricycle and walked towards Lin Anshu with a smile, taking the suitcase from her hands.

"Okay." Lin Anshu nodded and climbed onto the tricycle using both her hands and feet.

Lin's father's name is Lin Weiyan. He was an art student when he was young and loved to paint.

However, my family was poor at that time, and taking the art exam route was too expensive. In addition, my family suffered a misfortune, so the project eventually came to nothing, and I went to farm.

When they got home, Lin's mother greeted them.

"An'an, you're back just in time. Go wash your hands, the food is ready."

"Hey!"

For dinner, we had red bean porridge, green pepper and eggplant buns, meat buns, stir-fried potato shreds, stir-fried garlic sprouts with meat, and steamed egg custard.

"An'an, are you... on holiday?" Lin's mother asked after dinner.

"No, Dad, Mom, I quit my job!" Lin Anshu mustered up her courage and said.

"What? You resigned? Why did you suddenly resign?"

"Did the company go bankrupt? Or is someone at the company bullying you?"

"Dad, Mom, I had a fight with my boss."

"What happened?"

"The company owes me several months' salary, right? Not only do they not pay me, but they also deduct 1,800 yuan from my paycheck."

"I go to work before dawn every day and don't come back until the moon is out. I work diligently, and this is the result!"

"In a fit of anger, I took the money and came back," Lin Anshu explained.

"An'an, your company is really going too far."

“You’ve quit your job, so be it. Just rest at home for a few days and find another one later,” Lin Weiyan said.

"Dad, I don't want to work anymore, I want to farm!"

"What? Farming? Lin Anshu, are you out of your mind? Your father and I have worked so hard all these years to raise you, just so you could escape the countryside."

"And yet you decide to come back to farming?"

"You think farming is easy?"

“Look at your dad and me, we’re busy and working under the sun every day, from dawn till dusk, and we don’t earn much money all year round.”

"All the adults and children in our village who could leave have left, leaving only some old men and women."

“If it weren’t for taking care of your grandmother, I would have gone to the county town to find work long ago.”

"So, you're telling us you want to come back to farming?"

"Do you know when to sow the seeds? How to mix the pesticides? When to pollinate and thin the fruit?" Lin's mother said angrily.

"Alright, the child just got back, why are you being so fierce?"

"An'an, farming is no joke."

"Now that you're back, take a few days to rest at home. We can talk about finding a job later!" Mr. Lin said.

"Dad, Mom, I'm serious."

"The country now strongly supports college students returning to their hometowns to farm and start businesses, and there are also targeted policy supports."

"Besides, we live in the era of the Internet economy. As long as you farm well, you won't have to worry about sales."

"I worked hard as a corporate slave in the city, but I didn't earn much money in a year. Instead, I developed a lot of occupational diseases."

"It's so good to farm at home. Our place is beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, and it's rich in resources."

"It's great that I can recuperate and also make money by farming, in line with national policies!" Lin Anshu argued.

"What, you've developed an occupational disease from working? What, you think farming isn't tiring?"

"Let me tell you, farming is much more tiring than working a regular job. You're so young, how can you be so foolish?" Lin's mother was still very angry.

"Alright, alright, the child has finally come back, let her get some sleep first."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

While comforting his mother, Lin Weiyan also gave Lin Anshu a meaningful look.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go wash the dishes!" Lin Anshu said tactfully as she cleared the table of dishes.

"You must be tired after a long day of travel. I'll wash the dishes in the kitchen. Go wash up and go to bed."

"Your mom just aired the blanket a couple of days ago, so you can just use it directly."

"Okay, thank you Dad, thank you Mom." Lin Anshu quickly ran back to her room.

Oh no, what should I do?

Judging from this, it seems her mother doesn't want her to stay home and farm.
