Chapter 136: Too good at coaxing people

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had lunch at the villa.

When Feng Yu knew that his parents-in-law had come to the farm, he sent a message to his sister and asked Feng Xue to prepare lunch. As for how Feng Yu knew about it, it was of course because Zhang Yulan called him. They had originally planned to have lunch at the villa.

As for Jiang Ning, he was sarcastic.

As parents, how could they care about their son?

Jiang Ning only took care of his niece for an hour before he lost his patience.

The child was too naughty, and it was too torturous for a young man like him who was in his twenties and still lacked patience. It was already beyond his limit that he could take care of her for nearly an hour. After the little girl shit her crotch, he quickly sent her back.

If it's just peeing your pants, that's easy.

It dries in minutes.

But there is nothing we can do after the rake is pulled.

Fortunately, there are diapers, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

After sending the little girl back, he didn't leave.

But he didn't help with the work, he just watched his parents and uncle and aunt work.

After watching for a while, Feng Xue sent him a WeChat message: "Where are you?"

Jiang Ning replied in voice: "I'm in the medicine field. What's up?"

Feng Xue typed: "Go catch a rabbit and make a rabbit for lunch."

Jiang Ning replied, "I know," and went to catch the rabbit.

He also called someone to slaughter a sheep.

Apart from pork and beef, there is rarely rabbit in the villa's refrigerator.

If you want to eat it, just catch it and cook it fresh, the same goes for lamb.

It's almost mid-April, and the rabbits have already come out of the ground to welcome the spring.

After a winter, the number seems to have doubled several times.

The beginning of spring is the breeding season, and there are many half-grown rabbits.

Spring came in early March. After a month, the grass on the farm had already grown and was taller than an adult's waist. The weeds that were not cleared last year had disappeared. Jiang Ning was curious about where the withered hay had gone, so he did some special research on it.

Only to find that the hay had not disappeared.

Instead, they all fell to the ground and were slowly decomposed by the soil.

A lot of grain plant seeds were sown in the forest area last year.

Some of them were eaten by rabbits, chickens and ducks, and some of them bloomed, bore fruit and fell off.

There are more of them this year than last year.

Forest Area No. 8.

Jiang Ning didn't call any workers and caught the rabbits himself.

A fat gray rabbit had just dug out a carrot as thick as a child's wrist from the ground. Before it could have a full meal, a hand emerged from the ground and grabbed its tail. The rabbit struggled hard for a few times but failed to escape from the clutches.

Jiang Ning jumped out from underground and caught the rabbit in his hand.

I checked the gender first, and it turned out to be a female.

It was a bit unlucky, so I just let it go.

The gray rabbit didn't care about the nonsense it dug out and ran away.

There was a bigger one three meters away.

He was lying in the grass eating cabbage as if no one was around.

The two hind legs were secretly exerting force, ready to run at any time.

Jiang Ning took a glance and was secretly surprised.

The rabbit was a bit too big, it looked like it weighed at least ten kilograms.

Adult wild rabbits in Bei'an weigh about five or six kilograms. Last year, they had good food and drink on the farm, so many of them grew to seven or eight kilograms, but he had never seen any rabbits weighing more than ten kilograms. This was also the first time he had seen such a big wild rabbit.

Dive underground, sneak over and grab it.

The fat rabbit kicked its hind legs hard, but it was too late.

Jiang Ning checked and found that it was a male.

Only then was I satisfied and weighed it over.

He weighed at least thirteen or fourteen pounds. I touched his body and it was all flesh.

This shows how good the food on the farm is.

These rabbits live such a happy life.

I would rather be sent to the table than leave.

Jiang Ning returned to the front of the car and was knocked unconscious by a bang on his head.

Then they drove to the living area and took it to the cafeteria where they slaughtered it.

Peel and wash, then chop everything into pieces.

The sheep have been caught, but have not yet been slaughtered.

Jiang Ning sent the rabbit back first as it needed to be pickled.

Otherwise the grass taste is too strong and not tasty.

Send the rabbit back and go to the canteen to get the mutton.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally peeled it off and cleaned it up.

I weighed it first, and it was less than 30 kilograms.

The meat of a half-grown sheep is at its most delicious.

Jiang Ning took a front leg and some lamb chops and left.

The rest is used as snacks in the cafeteria.

It is best to eat fresh meat. It will lose its taste once it has been frozen.

Jiang Ning had been eating mutton for a year and his mouth had become picky about it.

Eat fresh food instead of frozen food.

The main reason is that mutton and rabbit are not like pork that can be eaten every day. You can just slaughter them when you want to eat them. As for rabbits, there are quite a few sheep on the farm now. He harvested a lot of sheep last winter. Currently, there are more than 700 sheep on hand. If he slaughters one sheep a day, it will be enough for him to eat for two years.

We have raised more than a hundred cows and have never slaughtered any of them.

What you buy are not small calves, they grow too slowly.

During the first two or three years of growing up, it is not the time to eat meat.

The farm doesn't feed growth hormones, so the plants grow even slower.

Taking the mutton back, Feng Xue soaked it in cold water.

Remove blood foam.

Soak for half an hour, then rinse with boiling water.

Completely remove the blood foam.

Set aside for frying.

Jiang Ning did not go out but helped out.

I suddenly received a call from the president of the Agricultural Bank of China, and was surprised: "What advice do you have, President?"

The president said, "I don't dare to give you instructions, but I do have something that I need Mr. Jiang's help with."

Jiang Ning was curious: "Tell me about it first."

The president said: "I heard that the maintenance of the company's responsible forest was handed over to Xianling Farm?"

Jiang Ning said: "That's true."

The president said, "Don't bother two people with one thing. Let's leave ours to the Fairy Farm!"

Jiang Ning said, "No problem. One mu of land costs fifteen thousand per year."

The bank president was shocked: "It's so expensive."

"Is it expensive?"

Jiang Ning said, "President, you must know how difficult it is to plant trees on the Gobi Desert. Didn't someone say on the Internet that conquering the desert is as difficult for humans as breaking out of the earth? President, don't tell me you didn't ask about the price before calling me."

The bank president didn't care: "1500 is too high, can it be cheaper?"

Jiang Ning said: "The president can't let me lose money!"

The bank president was still not giving up: "We have 50 mu of responsibility forest, and other banks have the same. If you give us a discount, we will give you all the forests from several banks."

Jiang Ning said indifferently: "The president knows that the farm is not short of the tens of thousands of yuan in profits. I am just making a small contribution to Beian. I don't want to see the trees that I planted with great effort die. If you think the price is not right, you big banks can work together to find someone to do this. I believe there is no shortage of people who are willing to do it."

The bank president has a hard time but he can't tell anyone. It's easy to find someone. There are many people willing to do the job for 800 yuan per acre. But the problem is that the county has requirements. Why is it called a responsibility forest? It means that you have to be responsible to the end, and if the trees die, you have to replant them.

We can't go to Shaba to plant trees every year, that would be ridiculous.

It's not like I haven't asked before.

I've asked people about it a long time ago, and there are people who want to do it for 600 yuan per acre.

But they are only responsible for maintenance, but cannot guarantee that the trees will not die.

Planting trees on the Gobi desert, who the hell has the confidence that they will survive 100%?
Not to mention 100%, I'm not even half sure.

After asking around, I found out that only Xianling Farm can guarantee it.

I had no choice but to find this.

I tried to bargain, but found that I couldn't lower the price any further.

The president no longer hesitated and could only hand the work over to Xianling Farm.

Fifty acres of responsibility forest, one acre costs fifteen hundred yuan.

Seventy-five thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the God of Wealth.

As for whether Xianling Farm can guarantee that all the trees will survive, the bank president doesn't worry about it. Since he has agreed, it is no longer his concern. Even if all the trees die, Xianling Farm will plant more.

It has nothing to do with the bank.

Not long after I finished the phone call with the president of the Agricultural Bank of China.

The remaining several banks also called one after another.

The six major banks, namely, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of China, and Postal Savings Bank of China, plus a commercial bank, all handed over the follow-up maintenance of the responsibility forest to Xianling Farm. Jiang Ning accepted all the offers, as he had already accepted the offer from the unit and had to do the same thing. It would be even better if someone gave him money.

Then I called Comrade Lao Yang and asked him to arrange someone to go to the bank to sign the contract and get the money.

After the mutton was put into the pot, Jiang Ning had nothing to do.

I left the kitchen and walked around the yard.

Two cars drove over, one of which was Jiang Dad's Prado.

Jiang Hua drove one car, and the other was his uncle's CRV.

My uncle and aunt also came over to have a free meal.

Several people got off the car and used their headscarves to wipe the dirt off each other's bodies.

He also stamped his feet for a long time to prevent dirt from being brought into the house.

Zhang Yulan asked Jiang Ning: "Is Feng Yu here?"

Jiang Ning was a little speechless: "Why do you even need to ask? The car isn't even here."

Zhang Yulan glared at him: "It's getting more and more outrageous."

After entering the house and washing their faces, Mother Jiang and Aunt Wang Xia went to the kitchen to help.

Dad Jiang and Uncle Zhang Yuedong were sitting on the sofa talking.

Jiang Ning was very tactless and just sat there without moving.

Chen Huiru found a cup and made a few cups of tea.

As we were talking, we heard the roar of an engine outside the door.

I could tell from the voice that Feng Yu was back.

It was indeed Feng Yu who came back.

Feng Yu greeted everyone and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Yuedong asked Jiang Ning: "The Yao family is coming to visit us this weekend, do you have time?"

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Is it decided?"

Zhang Yuedong said, "I have to do it. That idiot is so obsessed with marrying me. What can I do?"

"This……"

Jiang Ning met her once and felt that the woman was not very reliable, so he asked, "Didn't you do any work for her?"

Zhang Yuedong said, "Why didn't you do it? No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he just didn't agree. It's like he's never seen a woman before. He's set on Yao Lili. I can't control him anymore. If she wants to marry him, then let her marry him. After they get married, she can live her life however she wants. I don't care anymore."

Jiang Youxin said: "This is not something that can be compromised. If you marry her and she doesn't live well, it will be troublesome."

Zhang Yuedong said, "What can I do? I was working on him at home yesterday and we had an argument. That bastard just gave me the cold shoulder and said that if I didn't let him marry her, he wouldn't find a wife in the future. I was so angry that I almost wanted to slap him."

Jiang Youxin didn't know what to say.

My two sons are both poor students in their studies.

But the eldest brother is loyal and obedient and does not have such worries.

Not to mention the second child, he doesn't have to take care of anything.

Build your own business and find your own wife.

Never worried about such things.

Jiang Ning was young after all, so it was easier for him to accept it. He said, "If you want to marry her, just marry her. Zhang Yulong is an adult now, and adults have to pay for their own decisions. He wants to get married, so we can't stop him."

Jiang Youxin said: "It's easy for you to say that. What if we can't live well in the future?"

Jiang Ning said, "Just do what you have to do. Can you stop us from getting married?"

Jiang Youxin had nothing to say.

Zhang Yuedong also sighed, this is also the reality.

Times have changed, and this kind of thing cannot be stopped.

After chatting for a while, the meal was ready.

So we moved to the restaurant to eat.

Normally I have no appetite when I don’t work, but today I worked on the farm all morning and was tired. The meat tasted delicious and I ate all the mutton and most of the stir-fried rabbit. This confirms a conclusion: if you want to eat more, you have to work more.

After lunch, Mother Jiang and Aunt Wang Xia helped Feng Xue clean up.

Without any rest, he went to work in the fields.

Send the person away.

Feng Yucai told Jiang Ning: "Wen Jing will come over this afternoon, remember to pick her up!"

Jiang Ning asked: "What time will you come?"

Feng Yu said: "I don't know the details. She will call you when she gets here."

Jiang Ning asked: "Where will you live when you come here? At home or in the dormitory?"

Feng Yu said: "You must live in the dormitory. It's not convenient to live at home all the time."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "That's fine."

After going upstairs and sleeping for a while, Feng Yu got up and left at two o'clock.

Jiang Ning then went out and visited the county.

I followed the leader to the park and visited several factories under construction. All of them were established at the beginning of the year and are engaged in the wood processing industry. They are considered to be the farm's future customers. Some of them make boards, and some make finished products.

They are all small factories, claiming to have invested tens of millions.

Judging from the scale, it will not exceed 10 million at most.

At almost three o'clock, Jiang Ning received a call from Xu Wenjing.

He couldn't leave, so he called Kong Fangfei and asked her to arrange a driver to pick him up.

North City Avenue.

Xu Wenjing was standing on the side of the road, looking around, carrying a backpack.

This place is rather desolate. This road is probably the best road built in Beian, with eight lanes in both directions, wide and flat, and with dedicated non-motorized vehicle lanes and sidewalks. It was originally planned to be developed.

result……

The property market is down and development has ceased.

There is wasteland on both sides, and some of them have been turned into factories with walls built around them.

Some people just build greenhouses without knowing what to plant.

Xu Wenjing looked for a long time and saw several strawberry bases.

Strawberries are a good thing!

It tastes sweet and sour and can clear lung heat.

I heard that my cousin’s farm also grows fruits. I wonder if they grow strawberries.

What a treat it would be if it were summer!

Just as I was thinking about it, an Audi drove over.

The window rolled down and the driver asked, "Is that Xu Wenjing?"

Xu Wenjing said: "Yes, you are..."

The driver said, "I'll pick you up."

Xu Wenjing hurriedly said thank you and got on the car first at the back.

The driver didn't speak to her and drove back to the farm.

Drive directly to the farm and don't wait.

After Xu Wenjing came down, he drove away.

Xu Wenjing looked around. The garden was full of flowers and it was quiet all around. In the distance were large tracts of landscape trees. The scenery here was unique and she couldn't help but think of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring.

Although this place is not as beautiful as described in Peach Blossom Spring.

But it is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

My second sister is so lucky!

After expressing my envy for a bit, I carried my bag and prepared to go upstairs.

I entered the first floor and it was empty. There was no one in sight.

Xu Wenjing tried shouting, "Sister!" But there was no response.

I carried my bag and prepared to go upstairs.

As I reached the stairs, I heard someone coming down.

After waiting for a while, Feng Xue ran down.

Xu Wenjing called out, "Big sister!"

Feng Xue used sign language.

Xu Wenjing didn't understand, so she said, "I called my second sister, and she asked her brother-in-law to pick me up. I just called my brother-in-law and he said he was busy outside, so he arranged for someone to pick me up. The driver brought me here directly."

Feng Xue used sign language and came down to ask her to sit on the sofa.

I took off my backpack and made some tea.

The two sat on the sofa and talked.

Feng Xue simply took out his cell phone to send her a message.

Xu Wenjing was like a tape recorder, reading out the message she sent first and then speaking. They chatted in this strange way for about twenty minutes. Xu Wenjing talked about her job search and internship situation in her senior year.

Feng Xue asked about the situation at her uncle's family.

Let her go upstairs and rest for a while.

Xu Wenjing couldn't rest and wanted to go out for a walk.

When winter comes, the fields are withered and there is nothing left.

Come here now, the farm is lush and green everywhere.

Although not as exquisite as the park, the Fairy Farm is too big and most of it is forest area. After entering the farm, it feels like walking into a forest. I really want to explore. When I came here, I saw a lot of rabbits in the grass.

I just want to check out the scenery.

Feng Xue had no choice but to go upstairs and change her clothes.

Take her out for a walk.

After walking around the gardens surrounding the villa, I saw several workers pruning the landscape trees and lawns. Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is only suitable for appreciation, not for getting close to nature, let alone exploring.

Xu Wenjing wanted to go further and take a look.

Especially in the woods where the weeds are almost as high as a person's shoulder.

After telling Feng Xue.

Feng Xue was a little confused. Although she had been living on the farm, she seldom went out. Only a few days ago when Jiang Ning went to the provincial capital did she accompany Feng Yu for a walk after dinner every day, and their activities were limited to the garden area outside the villa.

I haven't been to any place further away.

Not familiar either.

The farm of more than 30,000 acres is too large, covering more than 20 square kilometers.

The farthest point from east to west is even more than seven kilometers.

The roads in the forest are crisscrossed and you will get lost if you are not familiar with them.

But he couldn't bear Xu Wenjing's pleading.

I had to go back to the house to get the key and ride Feng Yu’s small electric scooter which had been idle for a long time.

Took my cousin to visit the farm.

After leaving the garden area outside the villa, a primitive climate of the countryside hits you in the face. At a glance, there are weeds everywhere that are taller than a person's waist. You can't even see far away when sitting in an electric car.

The rabbits in the grass were looming and would jump onto the road from time to time.

If you look from a distance, you might think they are crops grown here!
The farm is surrounded by lush poplar forests.

Forming a world isolated from the outside world.

After turning several corners, an orchard appeared in front of us.

Xu Wenjing asked excitedly: "Sister, is this the orchard on the farm?"

Feng Xue nodded.

Xu Wenjing looked at it with great interest.

The fruit trees in the orchard are not big and look relatively young.

But they are basically in bloom.

Xu Wenjing knows apple trees, pear trees, and peach trees.

I don’t know the others.

The electric car ran a few hundred meters and turned another corner.

After running forward for more than a hundred meters, I arrived at the gate of the orchard.

Feng Xue stopped the car and Xu Wenjing got out quickly.

After Feng Xue parked the electric scooter, he followed her into the orchard.

The two-hundred-acre orchard is very small compared to a farm, but it is actually very large. Standing at the entrance of the orchard, you can see as far as the eye can see. There are workers working in the orchard, some are pruning branches, and some are fixing branches.

Others are clearing out the weeds that sprouted up this year.

Not all weeds are cleared.

Some need to be cleared, some don't.

There were also workers digging out the thorny plants around the orchard and replanting them with new seedlings.

When they saw Feng Xue, the workers all greeted her with a smile.

Feng Xue responded with sign language and led Xu Wenjing into the orchard.

Xu Wenjing asked curiously, "Sister, why did the workers dig out those plants with barbed thorns? When I came here just now, I saw that the orchard was surrounded by those plants with barbed thorns. Shouldn't they be the fence of the orchard?"

Feng Xue gestured, but felt that he couldn't express himself clearly.

He took out his phone and sent her a message: "Those are mountain roses, planted last year. They were originally used as fences, but they are useless and the fruits are not tasty. I heard that someone suggested to Jiang Ning to plant some pepper trees. Pepper trees can also be used as fences and produce peppers, which can also be sold for money. They dug up the mountain roses and planted peppers."

Xu Wenjing sighed twice and said with infinite emotion: "Rural life is so good!"

Feng Xue nodded.

Took her to visit the orchard.

I saw workers digging up some orchards and replanting them.

Xu Wenjing asked, "Why did you dig up those apple trees? I don't think the trees are dead!"

Feng Xue typed: "Some fruits are not tasty and not easy to sell. There were a lot left last year. They are not as easy to sell as apricots, chestnuts, and peaches. I heard from Jiang Ning that we should dig some of them up and plant some lychees that are not available in the north."

Xu Wenjing was surprised and asked, "Lychees can't grow well in the north, right?"

Feng Xue: "Just give it a try, but if it doesn't survive, forget it."

Xu Wenjing nodded and kept looking around.

Everything I see feels new and interesting.

After walking around for a while, an hour passed.

Leave the fruit shop and ride your electric scooter somewhere else.

Not far away is a medicinal field, and next to it is a newly opened land for growing crops.

The medicinal fields were crowded with people everywhere.

There was also a large tractor operating, but I had no idea what it was doing.

Xu Wenjing subconsciously asked: "Sister, what are you growing here?"

After asking, I remembered that Feng Xue couldn't answer.

Feng Xue pulled over and sent her a message: "This is a medicinal field. We plant angelica and are transplanting it. The easternmost part is a newly opened field. They said the food is not clean, so we need to grow some food for ourselves. We also need to plant sesame and rapeseed to make oil. It's on flat land."

Xu Wenjing exclaimed, not knowing what to say.

I stood on the side of the road and looked for a while, then continued walking forward.

After walking around the medicinal fields for more than a kilometer, we arrived at Forest Area No. 8.

Feng Xue stopped the car and wrote again: "There is a forest area ahead. I am not familiar with it. The farm is too big. I have never been to many places. I will probably get lost if I go in. Let's take a look here!"

Xu Wenjing got out of the car and agreed.

Keep taking pictures with your phone.

While taking photos, she said, "Sister, there are so many rabbits on the farm!"

Feng Xue sent a letter: "Yes, there are many. Last winter, Jiang Ning stopped selling rabbits. After a winter, I heard that there are several times more rabbits than last year. A few days ago, I heard from Jiang Ning that some rabbits have run into his father's vegetable garden."

Xu Wenjing took a photo of a gray rabbit lying in the grass eating celery and showed it to Feng Xue: "Big sister, look, this rabbit is so fat. There are so many baby rabbits next to it. This should be the mother rabbit, right?"

Feng Xue took a look and nodded.

Xu Wenjing counted them and said, "There are eight baby rabbits in total. Wow, rabbits are really fertile. They have so many in one litter. I heard that rabbits can have several litters a year. If this continues, I'm afraid the number will be dozens of times higher every year."

Feng Xue still nodded.

Xu Wenjing looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Sister, are there any snakes or rats in the woods?"

Feng Xue shook his head.

Xu Wenjing was tempted for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to enter the woods.

The weeds are too thick.

Even if there are no snakes, there will be some scary bugs.

There was a fingernail-sized insect lying on a wild flower not far away.

Xu Wenjing was very scared and didn't dare to go in and catch the rabbit.

After wandering around for a while, he returned to the villa with Feng Xue, feeling satisfied.

When we got back to the villa, it was almost five o'clock.

Feng Xue started preparing dinner and Xu Wenjing helped.

Zhuakong sent a message to Jiang Ning, asking if he wanted to eat.

Jiang Ning didn't eat in the afternoon, so I cooked for three people.

It was almost six o'clock when the sound of engines roared outside.

Xu Wenjing ran out and saw that Feng Yu had returned.

"Second sister."

"Well, are uncle and aunt okay?"

"I'm fine!"

Xu Wenjing glanced at her belly: "I heard you say you are pregnant, sister?"

"Ah."

Feng Yu touched her belly and said, "It's less than a month!"

Xu Wenjing sighed and said, "My second sister is only two years older than me, and you are about to become a mother, and I don't even know when I can get married!"

Feng Yu took her into the house and said, "Then find a partner and get married as soon as possible!"

Xu Wenjing said: "I don't even have a job, how can I get married?"

Feng Yu shared her experience: "Girls must not let their age delay them. The older they are, the harder it is to find a partner. Those who can make a living will basically get married before the age of 30. It may be later in big cities. In my hometown, those who are still unmarried after the age of 30 have various problems. You can take your time to study for a job, but you should find a partner early and don't waste your age."

Xu Wenjing responded with a grunt, not quite paying attention.

Marriage is too far away for her.

Her experience is different from Feng Yu's.

I only received my diploma in June, so I never thought about something so far away.

I washed my hands and went to the kitchen. The meal was almost ready.

The dishes were brought out and placed on the dining table, and the three of them ate around the table.

After dinner, Xu Wenjing helped Feng Xue clean up.

Feng Yu pulled her to go for a walk again.

When the sun was about to set, I saw workers leaving get off work in the distance.

Xu Wenjing was surprised: "Second sister, do people get off work so late at the farm?"

Feng Yu said: "They are not farm workers. The farm workers have already left work. They are outsourced workers working in the medicinal fields."

Xu Wenjing was puzzled: "Don't we have hundreds of workers on the farm? Why do we have to work outside to farm?"

Feng Yu said: "There is a lot of work on the farm. Pruning trees, tending orchards, felling trees, and harvesting grass all require people to work. How can we do it all? Planting medicinal herbs requires a lot of labor, so it is outsourced to some contractors."

Xu Wenjing said, "Do workers get off work very late?"

Feng Yu said: "People who do odd jobs work from morning till night, at least 12 hours a day."

Xu Wenjing asked curiously: "How much do you make working in a day?"

Feng Yu said: "Two hundred yuan!"

Xu Wenjing said: "The salary is quite high."

Feng Yu laughed: "You don't even see how hard those workers work. They arrive at the fields at 7am, have an hour to eat lunch at noon, and work until sunset in the afternoon. They can't be lazy. It's 12 hours of intense labor. How can it be that easy?"

Xu Wenjing thought for a moment and said, "That's right, second sister, have you asked my brother-in-law what he wants me to do?"

Feng Yu said: "I have to ask you this, what can you do, what do you want to do?"

Xu Wenjing said confidently: "I can write copy and plan, shoot short videos, and do editing."

Feng Yu was scratching his head: "If you can make short videos, why don't you stay in a big city and find a job? Short videos are so popular now. If you go back to your hometown, you won't be able to use these things. It's a waste."

Xu Wenjing said: "The big city exam, the small company where I interned only paid 4,000 yuan a month, and I had to work overtime until midnight every day, and they didn't care about food and accommodation. The salary was not enough to spend, and there was no guarantee at all. I still want to take the civil service exam."

Feng Yu nodded: "It is indeed time to take the exam. After working in a big city for a few years, many people will eventually return to their hometowns. It is better to take the exam early. However, your major seems to have many restrictions. Are there many companies that can take the exam?"

Xu Wenjing said: "It's OK. Now many companies have propaganda positions. I can take the exam."

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Now many companies are also doing short video promotions. Schools are also doing it. Our school just started to open a Douyin account last week and posted some works, but we have no experience and are not doing very well."

Xu Wenjing said in high spirits: "Short videos are a hot industry now. In fact, I would rather be a sharing blogger, sharing food and beautiful scenery. I have also made some works, but I don’t know what went wrong. I haven’t gained many followers."

Feng Yu wanted to laugh, but held back and encouraged her: "Since you have a goal, you must stick to it. You are doing quite well, but there are too many short videos of the same type. If you had done it a few years earlier, it might have been okay. Now there are too many people doing it and everyone is tired of it."

Xu Wenjing was distressed: "I also know that homogeneity is too serious, but innovation is really difficult. If I want to make something new, I must not only have good materials, but also good ideas. I really can't think of any good ideas."

Feng Yu comforted him: "Don't worry, creativity sometimes requires a flash of inspiration. Just walk around and look around, and maybe you will get it!"

Xu Wenjing nodded, looked up and saw a black dot, pointed at the sky and asked, "Second sister, what is that?"

Feng Yu looked up and said, "The drone on the farm."

Xu Wenjing was surprised: "There are drones on the farm?"

Feng Yu nodded: "Yes, the farm is too big to patrol, so the security team has to use drones for patrolling."

Xu Wenjing was curious: "I wonder what the whole farm looks like from the air. I really want to see it."

Feng Yu said, "When Jiang Ning is free, ask her to take you to see it."

Xu Wenjing nodded and walked with her for an hour before returning to the villa.

Jiang Ning had a social event in the evening and it was already half past nine when he came back.

We sat and chatted for a while and asked about Xu Wenjing's situation.

I went upstairs to bed after ten o'clock.

It's still a little chilly on the farm at night. It's almost mid-April and the heating has not been turned off.

It still burns a little at night to keep the house warm.

We took a shower together and then paid our dues.

I was very careful, afraid that people downstairs would hear it.

After that, we lay on the bed and talked.

Feng Yu said lazily, "Sister Zhang talked to me today. She asked me to stop being a homeroom teacher next semester after I finish teaching this class. She also asked me not to teach math anymore. I can just teach a fourth-grade class on morality and rule of law, two classes a week."

Jiang Ning raised both hands in agreement: "That's great, it's so relaxing."

Feng Yu said: "But mathematics is the main subject, and morality and rule of law are secondary subjects. There will be no points for them in the evaluation of advanced students in the future."

Jiang Ning said: "You come to this class just to have something to do, it's fine as long as you're not idle, what's the point of doing it first?"

Feng Yu had mixed feelings: "I just feel it's a pity. After all, I teach mathematics. But what Sister Zhang said is right. I don't earn tuition fees from students. It doesn't really matter what class I teach. Besides, the fall semester will start in six months. The mathematics workload is heavy, so it will definitely be tiring. And I will have to take maternity leave if I can't teach for a few days. It's actually quite good to teach a secondary class."

Jiang Ning strongly agreed: "There are only two classes a week. Why bother with that when you can take it easy?"

Feng Yu responded and said, "There is one more thing."

Jiang Ning asked: "What's the matter?"

Feng Yu said in a strange tone, "No. 2 Middle School wants to recruit me."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Beian No. 2 Middle School?"

Feng Yu said: "Yes, No. 2 Middle School wants to recruit me to teach the junior high school."

Jiang Ning was happy: "My wife has become a popular girl now."

Feng Yu was self-aware: "What? I've only been working for a year. My teaching skills are definitely not as good as those teachers who have been teaching for many years, and my experience is not as rich as theirs. The Second Middle School is obviously coming for you. I guess they want you to donate money or something."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think?"

Feng Yu said: "I don't want to think about anything. I just want to have a class and not be idle. I won't apply for a professional title, and I don't want to be a leader. I'm going to give birth to a child at the end of the year, so why bother? I'll just stay in Chengguan School."

Jiang Ning said: "It's up to you, do whatever makes you happy."

Feng Yu hummed, turned over and hugged him, saying, "This is the first class I teach, and it may be the only class. We will have three days off for May Day. I want to bring the students to the farm for some outdoor practice activities. Is that convenient?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment: "What are you going to do?"

Feng Yu said: "You definitely can't bring students here. I plan to find a place for students to cook their own food, pick some fruit from the orchard, pick some vegetables from dad and uncle's vegetable garden, etc. The main focus is on practice. After the exam in June, these students will go to junior high school next year. It's time to let them have more life practice. Children nowadays are too pampered."

Jiang Ning said: "Then I'll ask someone to prepare it later!"

Feng Yu hummed and said, "It may not be possible yet. I still need to seek the opinions of the parents. After all, this is not an activity organized by the school, and we have to report to the leaders. Besides, the students' families may have other plans during the May Day holiday, and they may not agree."

Jiang Ning said sourly: "Why didn't I have a teacher like you when I was in school?"

Feng Yu didn't quite understand: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Ning said: "When I was in school, the teachers only knew how to organize students to go home for extra lessons every day. They didn't teach the class properly, so they didn't have the energy to organize us to go out for fun activities. So I almost forgot what my head teacher's name was."

Feng Yu couldn't help laughing: "Who told you not to study hard in school and always fight with others? Teachers still like students who study well. It's your own fault for not studying well."

Jiang Ning was unhappy: "The purpose of education is to teach people to become talented. Why treat people differently if they don't do well in school? What kind of bullshit educational concept is this? It will only produce a bunch of idiots, not decent talents."

Feng Yu didn't argue with him and said, "But it's like this in schools now. Teachers like good students who study well and don't like those naughty ones. However, many naughty students do better than those good students in society. Aren't you an example?"

Jiang Ning was instantly happy. His wife was so good at coaxing him.
