Fang Jie said, "Besides farming, I don't know what else I can do."
"Now that there's no land for you to farm, think again. Is there anything you've always wanted to learn but couldn't do because of your family's circumstances?" Fang Yan guided him.
This patient and persuasive approach was simply to gain a deeper understanding of Fang Jie's interests and hobbies.

Although Fang Jie's grades weren't very good, when he was forced to drop out of junior high school to farm at home, he actually wanted to continue his studies.
However, he had already secretly decided that once he had gone out to make his way in the world for a while and settled down, he would take his sister's advice and enroll in a night school.
So there's no need to elaborate on this.
Fang Jie then thought of a carpenter in the village who used to make cabinets and such every day, without having to work in the fields in the wind, rain, and sun. He was particularly envious of him.
"At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could learn carpentry from him."
Fang Jie smiled shyly as he recalled the happy memories of his childhood.
Fang Yan's eyes lit up. "So, you also want to learn a technical skill, right?"
"If I could learn a job that would allow me to support my family and not have to constantly outwit others, I would be willing to learn it."
Despite helping Fang Yan with her stall so much, Fang Jie still doesn't like interacting with too many people; he finds it too tiring.
So even though he can now talk and joke with customers with ease, he still doesn't like doing business.
"I just want to do things quietly."
He added.
A second later, he added, "I also need to be able to earn money. I don't need to be rich or famous, just enough to support my family."
That's right.
Ever since Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie moved to Gouzi Village, Fang Yan has been secretly observing them in order to get along with them harmoniously.
Although Zhu Xiuhua is superstitious and occasionally a bit stubborn, she is quite obedient as long as what you say can convince her and make her feel that it makes sense.
Fang Jie is diligent and eager to learn. He doesn't like to talk or go to crowded places; he prefers to quietly bury himself in his work.
Unfortunately, his cultural foundation was too weak, he was relatively old, and he didn't have any extraordinary intellectual talent.
Otherwise, you can take the research route, which means immersing yourself in experiments and spending decades battling against all kinds of data.
Considering Fang Jie's choices, the future development trend of the provincial capital, and Fang Jie's personality traits.
Fang Yan gave her a serious suggestion, "Brother, when you get to the provincial capital, find a car repair shop and become an apprentice there."
In a few decades, cars will be everywhere. If you learn this skill, you can open your own auto repair shop and support your family.
Fang Jie was completely bewildered. "What's auto repair?"
"I repair cars for other people," Fang Yan explained.
Fang Jie's expression was conflicted; he seemed about to speak but hesitated.
"Speak your mind. We're siblings, what can't we talk about?"
"Yan Yan, look at our county town. There aren't even many motorcycles, let alone cars. If I go to learn this, won't I starve to death?"
Fang Jie didn't think that repairing cars was a bad thing, but there were no cars at all, so he wouldn't earn any money after learning the skill.
Fang Yan couldn't explain to him that decades later, every household would have a car with four wheels, and more than half of the households would have two or more cars.
She looked at Fang Jie and asked him, "Brother, do you think I would harm you?"
"Won't!"
Fang Jie was absolutely certain of this, and he answered without any warning.
Fang Yan asked again, "Then do you believe me?"
"letter!"
If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have asked you.
After asking the two questions, Fang Jie finally understood.
yes!
My sister wouldn't harm me, which means that learning auto repair will definitely make me money in the future.
He has always trusted his sister.
Therefore, Fang Jie said firmly, "Okay, after the New Year I will take Mom to the provincial capital to learn auto repair."
"Brother, when the time comes, go to Yunshan District and find a place called..."
Fang Yan didn't respond to his words, but instead, based on her memory, told him the name of a car repair shop.
This auto repair shop originated in the late 1970s and has been passed down from generation to generation. Its reputation and skills have always been unparalleled in the provincial capital, where auto repair shops and 4S stores have sprung up everywhere.
"You're new here and don't know anything. As long as they provide you with food and lodging, even if they don't pay you at the beginning, you should still focus on learning, be diligent, treat your mentor with respect, and work hard to master this skill. Believe me, your life will be good in the future."
Although auto repair is a dirty and tiring job, what job in this world isn't tiring?
Although it was a bit dirty, it was really suitable for Fang Jie. He didn't need to interact with many people and could just work quietly.
And it will be very profitable in the future.
"It's your first time going out, and you don't know the place or the people, so don't take your mother with you."
After finishing the previous topics, Fang Yan brought up Zhu Xiuhua's matter, "When the time comes, let Mom come with me to the Northwest to join the army. Once things have settled down on your side, we'll bring Mom over there."
Fang Jie disagreed, "How can that be? It's my duty to take care of Mom in her old age. If you take Mom over, will Brother-in-law Ji agree?"
In the subconscious of Chinese people, when parents get old, they usually live with their sons.
Especially in this day and age, very few people live with their daughters.
Moreover, she is a daughter who is already married.
Fang Yan thought to herself that if Zhang Jizhou dared to have any objections, she would have a perfectly legitimate reason to kick him out.
At that moment, on the border of the motherland, in a forest hundreds of kilometers away from Death Valley, someone suddenly shouted, "Captain! Captain! Instructor! Look, look! The captain, the captain, he's moving!"
Severely wounded and unconscious, Zhang Jizhou lay motionless on his comrade's back, clinging to life with only a faint breath.
The others showed no signs of life.
The young soldier was terrified that his captain was gone. Even as they continued their journey, he kept his eyes glued to his captain.
Just now, just now, he saw it!
His captain's eyelids twitched!
Zhang Jizhou's partner was also injured. Strictly speaking, all members of the entire elite squad were wounded; none of them escaped unscathed.
However, in order to protect them, Zhang Jizhou, with a death wish, covered their retreat single-handedly, thus securing their chance to survive.
The price was that Zhang Jizhou was seriously injured, and it was uncertain whether he could be saved.
His partner had injured his foot and couldn't walk fast. Hearing the young soldier's cry, he crawled over on all fours, tumbling and scrambling, and examined Zhang Jizhou closely for a long time...
From boundless joy at the beginning to endless disappointment at the end.
Where did Zhang Jizhou move?
"Really! The captain really moved just now..."
To prove that Zhang Jizhou had indeed moved, the young soldier stepped forward, wanting to point out how Zhang Jizhou's eyelids had moved.
