"No mail has been sent from home recently, and I don't know what's going on."
Fan Yunyan gave a silent reply.
Fan Xiaofan pouted: "They're probably too busy having fun to pay attention to us two exiles."
Fan Yunyan shrugged: "If we're talking about exile, you've probably had the most comfortable life."
Fan Xiaofan proudly raised her head: "I can earn my living on my own. If I relied on them, I would have starved to death long ago."
Isn't that right?
Fan Yunyan sighed softly, "Relying on heaven or earth is not as good as relying on one's own true abilities."
Having your own parents is better than having your own.
He's a grown man, with long arms and legs, and he still relies on his sister for financial support, otherwise he'd go hungry.
He needs to learn some skills.
Fan Xiaofan gave him a suggestion: "There are few educated people in the village. Uncle Daquan is in charge of the tractor and he is becoming more and more interested in learning. Every time I come, he comes up to me and asks me about parts. I think you educated youth are not very good at farm work. You can talk to the village chief about teaching people to read."
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; no one is perfect.
The villagers are experts at farm work, but year after year they only look at the land in front of them.
These educated youths from various places, though perhaps useless as scholars, were not without significance in their literacy and the new worldview they brought.
Most of the villagers spend their entire lives on this yellow earth, growing in spring, flourishing in summer, and resting in autumn and winter.
But the newly arrived educated youth were not useless people. They could tell the villagers how magnificent Tiananmen Square was in Beijing, they could tell them that mathematical formulas are applicable everywhere in life, they could tell them that the lever principle can save more effort, or that chemical formulas can provide fertilizer to make the land more productive and fertile.
Clearly, it's not a hierarchy of contempt; it's just that each has its own strengths.
You can tell from Li Daquan's ambition to improve. Fan Xiaofan had previously given him a simple explanation of a few disassembly steps and parts, but Li Daquan did not rest on his laurels. Instead, he became even more interested in understanding this behemoth tractor and wanted to disassemble it thoroughly.
Fan Yunyan's eyes lit up. To be honest, the simple and repetitive farm work was like a daily task for him, and he had no interest in it at all. His talent lay in economics.
Those economic data that are dry and boring to ordinary people are like the ocean that fish love to Fan Yunyan. It's just a pity that he never had the chance to come into contact with them again after going to the countryside.
"I remember my brother really liked economics, right?"
Fan Xiaofan recalled the information in her mind.
When Fan Yunyan mentioned his area of expertise, he couldn't help but smile.
"What, do you have any suggestions?"
“Brother, you can study the economics of a country by starting from a small family, a small village, or a small county town… I may not understand economics, but I know that my own expertise in mechanics also progresses step by step, from small to large… You may see one kind of economics while you are in Beijing, and you see another kind in your current environment. In this way, going to the countryside is not a waste of your time, but rather a different way to accumulate capital.”
Fan Yunyan's eyes had already lit up: "Second sister, you've opened the door to a new world for me."
Even though he had plans for his future, he was still confused and had no idea which direction to take. He only knew that he could not give up studying and that he needed to take control of his life.
