It was late at night and I was worried about Xu Qingzhi walking outside alone.

Although it is in the countryside, the folk customs are simple and honest, and sometimes their simplicity is only on the surface.

Many years ago, when Qingzhi was still in primary school, a female teacher was bullied by an old bachelor from another village while walking at night.

Later, all the girls in the village were closely watched by their parents, and Ms. Wang was even more cautious about these things.

There are also uncles and grandfathers in the countryside who love to pretend to like little girls. They are intimate with them, kissing their cheeks, holding them in their arms, and sometimes even kissing them when the parents are not paying attention.

The little girl struggled and screamed in resistance, but the parents heard and saw it but didn't take it seriously. They thought that the other person liked their child and that their child was popular.

Little boys were no exception. When they were a few years old and wore open-crotch pants, when outsiders hugged them, the outsiders would take out their balls, weigh them, and make a few comments.

Xiao Qingzhi always felt uncomfortable when she saw it, but fortunately Ms. Wang respected her very much.

Sometimes when a man who smelled like he had just smoked wanted to hug her, Xiao Qingzhi would not be happy about it, and Ms. Wang would step in and stop him, explaining, "This child is shy."

Just say these two words to show that the child is ignorant and his shyness will pass.

As for what others think, is it really necessary to argue with a child? A child can be naive, and so can an adult be naive.

The night is as black as ink, and the stars in the sky are twinkling.

Although the weather is gradually getting warmer, on a March night in the countryside, the wind blowing through the rice fields and through the treetops still brings a cool chill to your face.

Xu Zijun is going to take the college entrance examination this semester, and the more he asked, the more stressful it would make him feel, so Xu Qingzhi simply didn't ask.

When they were young, the two siblings fought every day. But when they grew up, their relationship was much more harmonious, and the blood ties were even stronger than when they were young.

She didn't ask, Xu Zijun spoke up on her own.

"Sister, I'm actually quite confused."

Xu Qingzhi tilted his head to glance at him and asked, "What are you confused about?"

"I don't know what the purpose of studying is. Today, when I went out to buy salt, I ran into a junior high school classmate. He went to work before he finished junior high school. Now he is a boss, drives a nice car, and bought a house in the state capital."

Xu Qingzhi said “hmm” and listened quietly to what he continued to say.

"I'm actually very scared sometimes. Although I have good grades in class now and I don't worry about not being able to get into university, I'm afraid that even if I get into a good university, after graduation, I'll be worse off than those who didn't go to school." Xu Zijun lowered his head slightly. "My parents always said that they hope I can get into a good university and find a good job in the future. When I graduate and make money, they will retire. But I'm actually very scared that I won't be able to find a good job and fail to meet their expectations, which will disappoint them."

"Besides, I'm not even sure what major I want to study. In the past few years, I seemed to have only one goal, which was to study hard. I never took any interest classes, and the tutoring outside of school was just to make up for my lack of English. In the second year of junior high school, I was not good at math, so I took a semester of math during the summer vacation."

"Sis, I'm going to have to find a job and make money anyway, so why should I study?"

After listening to this, Xu Qingzhi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Many years ago, I had the same doubts as you."

"At that time, many of my classmates did not study and went to work in factories. They bought their first mobile phone with their own wages. I was so envious because I knew that if I wanted a mobile phone, my parents would not buy it for me."

"Later, I saw a piece of chicken soup that said, we read because we are ignorant, and the more we read, the more we admit our ignorance. I can't even remember the ancient poems and English texts that I recited crazily every morning in high school, but those things are like the food I eat every day. They become nutrients for my body, allowing me to have something to say when facing problems, instead of having a blank mind."

"The ability to study can never determine a person's ability, but at least for our family, if we have studied and have a diploma, we don't have to rely on our parents to find a job for us, we can find one ourselves."

Xu Zijun nodded gloomily.

Xu Qingzhi: "As for your major, think about what you are interested in. Programmer? Lawyer? Finance?"

Xu Zijun shook his head. "I have never touched a computer except for a few times when I went to the Internet cafe to play League of Legends. I don't know what programmers do. As for lawyers, it feels so far away from me. I don't even know what finance is."

Xu Qingzhi nodded. That was true. If she hadn’t been entangled in three worlds, she would have been unfamiliar with these things.

"I am interested, but..."

Xu Qingzhi waited for him to continue, but he didn't say anything for a long time, so he asked impatiently: "But what?"

The dog has a problem with speaking only half the words.

"I saw agricultural majors online, and I felt that they were probably about farming and raising pigs. These were the only things I had access to since I was a child, and I was somewhat interested in them. But I was afraid that if I studied this major, my parents and you would think that I was interested in this because my family had a farm."

Xu Qingzhi understood, "If you want to learn, then learn. My parents and I will not misunderstand you and will only support you. Don't think too much. We will always be a family."

"Yeah." Xu Zijun nodded, let out a breath, and felt that the burden on his heart was much lighter.

Xu Qingzhi turned around and put his hands behind his back: "Go back."

After returning home, Xu Qingzhi went upstairs to wash up.

After washing up, while the paper man was helping me blow dry my hair, I opened my phone and saw a message from Mu Mingqian's brother, whose WeChat nickname was Mingyi, whom I had added earlier.

"Hello, boss. I have already heard about your attitude from Mingqian, but I still want to talk to you about cooperation with the utmost sincerity and enthusiasm."

"Fuwang Farm has many customers in Kyoto. My old lady and many of my partners are loyal fans of your farm. So I want to expand a branch of Fuwang Farm in the suburbs near Kyoto. All you need is seeds and planting guides. I will arrange professionals to handle the rest of the planting issues. You don't need to worry about it. As for the income, the net income after deducting the cost is 64:40, you 6 and we 4."

"If this method is feasible, I would like to expand to other cities. Here is the detailed plan report. You can take a look at it when you have time."

Xu Qingzhi politely opened the document and took a look, and saw the words "Li Da Group" in it.

So, out of curiosity, I searched on the Internet.

Wow, it was indeed the Lida Group she was familiar with. There were shopping malls and hotels of Lida Group in first-tier cities across the country. It made its fortune in real estate, and the fresh food supermarkets it opened in recent years were also very popular. This man was also the president of Lida Group. He was so humble even though he had money.

He really deserves to make money, he is such a good person.

Not like her.

Xu Qingzhi: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
