Chapter 247 The fundamental reason why Huang Zhiye insisted on staying in the countryside

"Don't talk nonsense."

Huang Zhiye waved his hands hastily: "He is a boy. What's wrong with him giving way to his sister? What I mean is that this land is the foundation of us ordinary people. Food is the most important thing, the foundation that is above everything else and should be guaranteed first."

"Ranran! Whether it's you and Yunchen, your mom, or Hongyi, you are working hard to make money outside, and Dad thinks it's a good thing. But Dad will stay in my hometown and be your most solid support. Only when the rear is solid, you don't have to worry about the future, and you can fight and gamble boldly!"

"Yun Chen, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Lu Yunchen nodded repeatedly, obviously convinced by his father.

Huang Xinran rolled his eyes.

If we go by the rules, my dad's idea is correct.

While everyone else was working hard outside, he stayed at home to make sure there was food at home so that they wouldn't have to worry about starving to death one day...

However, in the next few decades, people will no longer have to worry about food!

Rice can be bought everywhere at RMB 2.5 per pound.

Even though rice is only 0.17-0.18 yuan per pound now, the current money is valuable. If you exchange it, rice in the next few decades will be much cheaper...

Dad continues to farm at home, what a loss!

What a loss!

But she couldn't say this... She felt tired.

"Dad, that's not how it works."

Huang Xinran simply tried to persuade him from another angle: "Look, my eldest brother now runs a shop in the city, and his business is getting better day by day. Right now, my eldest brother and his wife are so busy that they can't handle it at all. No one helps them take care of the children, let alone pick up and drop off Yuner. You haven't forgotten the incident with Yuner before, have you?"

"That's what I told you. It's a mess out there. I told your eldest brother to stop doing that frivolous business, sell his stuff and come home to farm with me. As long as you take good care of the land at home, you won't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing."

“…”

Well, who is persuading whom?

I really don’t know how to describe what the old man is thinking.

The eldest brother Huang Hongyi came back early the next morning and brought both children back with him.

Fortunately, his youngest son was born early. If he had gotten pregnant again this year, it would have been difficult to give birth to the child so peacefully. I'm afraid the family planning staff would have to go back home every few days. The chickens, pigs, cows, and even tiles, bed sheets, and quilt covers in the house might have been taken away as collateral.

Huang Xinran likes her little nephew very much. The nephew, who can already walk, is not afraid of strangers. He is fair and tender, and smiles happily to everyone he sees.

Huang Xinran couldn't help herself and quickly handed him the small lock she brought back.

Huang Hongyi has changed a lot. At least, there is almost no overlap between him and the elder brother she met in her previous life.

The once honest and simple country boy has shed his dark skin and turned it into yellow-white skin. His hair is very neatly parted on the side. The clothes he wears should have been made by his sister-in-law and are very close-fitting. He is also wearing leather shoes.

With this outfit, he could be called a city dweller if he went out. There was no trace of his past.

After hearing her talk about what her father said last night, I didn't find it strange.

He flicked the cigarette on his fingertips. "You mentioned this. I have been trying to persuade you before. When mom was with me, I was still able to handle it. But after mom went to your place, there was no one to pick up Yuner, and Wenying had to make clothes for others, sell clothes, and take care of this naughty boy who was still breastfeeding. It was too much to handle. I went home several times to ask dad to go to the city to help me. He refused to go even after I talked him out of his mouth. What else could I do?"

"Since he wants to stay in his hometown and farm, let him stay. Anyway, he has Qin'er to help him at home, so he won't be lonely."

"Actually, I think... forget it."

What Huang Hongyi didn't say was that although Huang Zhiye said that he wanted to be their solid backing, fearing that they would have no food to eat and no land to farm, he felt that he was doing it more for his second brother Huang Hongyang.

There has been no news from my second brother Huang Hongyang since he joined the army.

Huang Zhiye was indeed stubborn at first, and he hated his second son deeply. But he was his biological son after all, and there was no overnight hatred between father and son. As time went by, he naturally thought about him and missed him.

He refused to leave the countryside and insisted on farming, more importantly, hoping to help his second son guard the last of the family business.

After all, he really followed Huang Hongyi to the city and helped him take care of the children. Huang Hongyi's life was better, but what about Huang Hongyang?

What should he do?

Old people always think more...

Huang Hongyi was also angry with his father at first, but today, when Huang Xinran suddenly mentioned what his father said last night, he was reminded of it and finally understood his father's intention.

For a while, I felt very complicated.

He is also a parent and has two sons. He has also figured it out: his father can't just ignore his second brother just because he left home, right?

When the day comes when he returns from military service, this home will still be his home.

The dad is fighting for his young son's chance.

Huang Xinran was silent.

"Forget it. I won't mention the matter of letting my dad leave anymore."

By the way, where did my second brother go to serve in the army? Why is there no news from him after several years?

That's strange.

Huang Xinran went to the countryside and installed telephones for both the Huang and Lu families.

Huang Zhiye refused, thinking it would cost too much.

But Huang Xinran felt that it made it easier for everyone to keep in touch, and she thought the money was well spent.

On the day the telephone was installed, she called her mother and eldest brother respectively and left their phone numbers for easy contact.

Afterwards, she returned to Lu's home and began to prepare for what she was going to do.

Huang Xinran had already decided to go to Haishi or Baoan to see the development situation there and introduce some necessary technologies and important information.

Since the three cowboys have connections, she will definitely go with them.

Lu Yunchen was very worried about her and was hesitant about her decision.

Huang Xinran also knew that these years were very chaotic.

I guess it’s hard for the new generation born in the new century to understand. What’s so difficult about going to a sea city? Isn’t it just a matter of sleeping for two or three hours?

But in these days when transportation is slow, if you cross a province, the train takes three days. A trip from the inland to Haishi takes at least a month on the road. Want to take a train or a plane? Sure, bring the introduction letter.

Even if you get a letter of introduction, it is not easy to get to the train station or the airport. Don't forget there are road bullies, scammers, kidnappers and the like.

From the inland to the sea city, it is already a rare opportunity to arrive smoothly and safely in one month.
