Once only the brother and sister remained, Fan Yunyan's expression became more serious.
"My sister asked me about my plans for the future, and now I have an idea..."
Fan Xiaofan was somewhat surprised and also quite excited. She had been so busy that she had forgotten about her previous attempt to sow discord between Fan Yunyan and Fan Xiaofan.
The future is indeed a rather distant concept, even Fan Xiaofan herself can't see it clearly, but she knows what she wants to do: to use her abilities to do more for Guo Jia.
"What is your brother thinking?"
Fan Xiaofan looked up and asked.
Fan Yunyan gave a bitter smile: "My status as an educated youth has been confirmed, so I will definitely stay here..."
At this point, with a hint of pain in his voice, he was no longer the person whose eyes were filled with bright hope. He had gained something else; he had ultimately been tempered by life.
The reason he agreed to go to the countryside was simply because he didn't want his family to cause trouble. He thought his concession would have a good outcome.
However, reality made him realize...
The choice he made could very well be the one that ruined his life.
Ultimately, it's impossible for him to be so selfless as to not consider his own interests at all.
"Second sister, I firmly believe that I will be able to go back one day. I will not marry and have children here, nor will I give up my studies. Could you please bring me some books?"
The road ahead seemed like an abyss. If he took one step forward, he would never be able to go back to the way things were. He couldn't settle down in the village. Instead, no matter how difficult it was, he had to struggle to stick to his original ideals.
After listening, Fan Xiaofan raised an eyebrow: "Big brother, this is not an easy thing..."
Humans are social animals, and it is not easy to live a solitary life. Fan Xiaofan remembered that although the educated youth going to the countryside would continue for a very long time, it would eventually end one day.
But is its end, within the context of inseparable social relationships, really such a simple ending?
Over the years, countless educated youth have chosen to settle down in the village, while countless others have chosen to return home, abandoning their wives and children, as if this would sever them from their former lives.
In the village, not marrying and having children is considered unusual, but Fan Yunyan chose to continue his studies. How long can he endure the arduous labor day after day...?
Fan Yunyan flashed a bright smile, revealing his white teeth: "I know, but I've made my choice, and I will stick to it."
Fan Xiaofan smiled and said, "Big brother, I support you."
Fan Yunyan couldn't help but rub her little head and said, "I'm so glad I chose to come to this place when I went to the countryside, otherwise my heart would have been filled with loneliness."
Fan Xiaofan pouted and patted Fan Yunyan's hand, saying, "Don't rub my head, I'm old too..."
After finishing the serious business, Fan Xiaofan, with a gossipy streak, asked, "Dad sent all his salary over; I'm afraid there's been a commotion at home..."
Fan's father hadn't pursued the matter before. He earned a considerable salary, but Zhou Xuehua was also willing to spend money on Fan Yunli, wanting the best of everything. If you calculate it, there wasn't much money left in the family.
Father Fan sent his salary again. When people live, everything costs money, from firewood and rice to oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. As the saying goes, poverty makes a couple miserable. If a family runs out of money, trouble is not far off.
Her eyes sparkled, brimming with interest.
Fan Yunyan poked her forehead with his finger, as if to say, "You don't want me to rub your head, huh..."
