Chapter 182 Planning for Children
Today's weather is even more abnormal than last year. It's not even June yet, but the temperature has already reached 39 degrees.

The weather was too hot, so Dad Jiang hid in the farm and refused to go home.

Mother Jiang held on for a few days, but she couldn't take it anymore.

Took my oldest granddaughter to the farm to escape the summer heat.

The dormitories on the farm were a bit insufficient, so two more dormitory buildings were built last year, leaving a lot of empty rooms. Dad Jiang snored when he slept, so Mom Jiang didn't want to live with him. She asked for a dormitory for herself and moved in with her eldest granddaughter.

Two days later, Jiang Hua also moved to the farm with his wife, son and nanny.

I asked for two dormitories and settled my family down.

We actually have air conditioning at home, but my children are too young, so I don’t dare turn it on all the time.

And after getting used to using air conditioning at home, it’s a pain to go out.

It's like a world of ice and fire.

In comparison, the environment on the farm is very comfortable. The dense vegetation absorbs a lot of light and heat. As long as you are not exposed to direct sunlight, you will not feel hot. You only need to cover yourself with a thin blanket when you sleep at night.

Otherwise it will be a bit cold.

It's nothing like home, it's as stuffy as a steamer at night.

In the middle of the night, the heat can wake people up.

Not only did his family go to the farm to escape the summer heat, someone in the county even suggested to Jiang Ning that they build a summer resort on the farm so that they could come there to escape the heat in the summer. Jiang Ning refused, not wanting to get into that kind of trouble, and wanted to go to the Qilian Mountains to escape the summer heat.

When the farm was first built two years ago, many employees went home after get off work.

This year, except for some young unmarried people and people like Kong Fangfei who have children to take care of, most employees live in the dormitories and do not go home after work unless there is something going on at home.

There is food and drink, the food is better than at home, and the accommodation is not bad either.

Why go home? It's so hot.

Lao Yang also moved into the dormitory early and lived and ate on the farm.

There seems to be less work this year than last year. I don't know if it's because the workers' efficiency has improved or if there is really less work. Except for the hunting team, most people are relatively idle. Even the logging team seems to be slow and finishes work at four or five o'clock.

The production team below and the office building have different working hours.

There is no fixed time, just do the work when there is work.

If you have no work to do, just take a rest.

When there is a lot of work, you should work overtime.

In short, it is more flexible.

The workers' spirit and spirit seemed to be different. There was light and hope in their eyes. They were no longer like before, with a worried look on their faces all day long. Now they had more free time, and their amateur cultural life gradually became richer.

In the evening, square dancing started in the living area.

Someone brought speakers for square dancing from home, and the men and women danced in a very relaxed and comfortable manner. After dinner, Li Fumin from the ranch came over on his electric bike with his wife to join in the fun.

In the past two years, Jiang Ma has also become a square dance enthusiast.

The granddaughter didn't care at all, she was busy dancing!
Jiang Ning had nothing to do after dinner, so he walked three kilometers with Feng Yu and Feng Xue, pushing the stroller, and came over to watch the fun. Most of the farm workers had never seen his daughter, so they all gathered around to see the curiosity.

The little guy had never seen so many people before, so he was surprised.

Two big round eyes looked here and there.

Aunt Jiang Ning took her in her arms. The little girl was not shy at all and looked at her aunt in a adorable way. Aunt Jiang Ning admired her but felt sad at the same time. When would she become a grandmother? In a few years she would be sixty years old.

I haven't even had my grandson yet...

After looking at it in wonder for a while, the crowd gradually dispersed.

The dance started again.

Mother Jiang asked her two daughters-in-law to dance together, but unfortunately both daughters-in-law were too shy to dance.

Just look.

Jiang Ning is not shy, he just likes to join in the fun.

Run into the crowd and dance with a group of old men.

Feng Yu took out his mobile phone to record the video and posted it on TikTok.

We didn't push the stroller back until the sun set.

Feng Xue pushed the cart in front, and the two followed behind, flipping through their phones.

Feng Yu flipped through her phone and asked Jiang Ning, "Have you watched Xu Wenjing's TikTok?"

Jiang Ning said: "I haven't seen it, what's wrong?"

Feng Yu said: "Xu Wenjing has more than 50 fans. She has been updating her works since she came back at the end of March. On average, she releases one work every three days. They are all photos of farms in Australia and the United States, as well as some travel stories. I didn't expect that there are so many people following her. She has gained hundreds of thousands of fans. Now she has started to accept advertisements. I heard that she can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month."

Jiang Ning felt a little disappointed and had no feelings for the internet celebrity. He asked, "Where is Xu Wenjing?"

Feng Yu said: "I stayed at home for a few days and then went out and traveled everywhere."

"This person lives a more carefree life than me!"

"You can be cool, too."

Jiang Ning regretted it deeply: "If I had known I wouldn't have had children, we could have traveled around and had fun for a few years."

Feng Yu said: "It's too late to regret now!"

It’s indeed a bit late, my daughter is already five months old.

It gets dark quickly after the sun sets.

It was already dark before we were halfway there.

There are no lights on the road and there are forest areas on both sides.

The road was so dark that I couldn't even see it.

Jiang Ning took Feng Xue and pushed the stroller.

Pushing the cart with one hand and holding the mobile phone with the other hand to turn on the light.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue followed behind, walking quietly.

The stroller was covered tightly and my daughter had just woken up from a nap.

He was lying in the stroller, babbling, but I didn't know what he was babbling.

Arrive at the door of the villa.

Jiang Ning said, "Sister, I'm going to sleep in the big room tonight."

Feng Xue made a sign language gesture and the meaning was understood.

The next day, Feng Xue cooked a meal and Jiang Ning's parents, brother and sister-in-law came to eat.

In fact, the food in the canteen is not bad. You can tell by looking at the employees. If the food is not good, how could they not go home and live on the farm? There are more than 20 people in the canteen now, and the variety of food is very rich. If you want to eat rice, there is rice. If you want to eat noodles, there are noodles.

From time to time, I will make something that you can’t usually eat.

There is no shortage of meat and other things, and we grow our own vegetables.

The communal meals have been cancelled long ago, and all the dishes are cooked freshly.

The food is better than at home.

If it wasn’t far away, Feng Yu wouldn’t have wanted to cook and would have eaten in the cafeteria.

But a canteen is still a canteen after all. With hundreds of people eating there, it is impossible for the chef to cook perfectly. Moreover, he has to cater to the tastes of most people. The food is still not as good as the food at home, especially the food cooked by Feng Xue.

Didn't do much today.

Feng Xue cooked some lamb and some family dishes.

The noodles are ramen brought from the cafeteria.

After lunch, Jiang Ma and Chen Huiru helped Feng Xue clean up.

Jiang Ning was holding his daughter, and his brother was holding his son.

The two brothers each held one child and went to the backyard to enjoy the cool air.

Sit down by the pool.

Jiang Hua suddenly said something: "Can we send Tingting to go to school outside?"

Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "Your meaning, or my sister-in-law's?"

Jiang Hua said: "I mean."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think?"

Jiang Hua said: "I didn't really think about it, I just felt that sending them out would be better. Today's schools can't teach people well, so they are not places to teach and educate people. I think it's better to send them out."

Jiang Ning asked a question: "It's easy to send them out, but have you ever thought about the future? The outside world is different from your hometown. If you go to school and grow up outside and adapt to the environment outside, you won't be able to adapt to the environment in your hometown when you come back."

Jiang Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "If you don't have to come back, then don't come back."

Jiang Ning was more and more surprised: "Do you really think so?" Jiang Hua nodded: "As the old saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is human instinct to migrate to an environment that is more suitable for survival. It would have been fine if we didn't have the conditions before, but now that we have the conditions, I think it's better to send them out."

Jiang Ning asked: "What about Ziwen? Should he be sent out as well?"

Jiang Hua said: "Ziwen is still young, let's talk about it in two years."

Jiang Ning held her daughter's hand and asked, "Where do you want to send her?"

Jiang Hua shook his head: "I don't know, that's why I asked you, where is the best place to send it to."

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Europe is of course the best, but I don't plan to buy land there. Australia and the United States are also OK, but there is still a problem. Who will go with you? Will it be you and your sister-in-law, or your parents? Have you discussed it with your sister-in-law?"

Jiang Hua said: "We haven't discussed it yet, let me ask you first."

Jiang Ning said: "Then you should discuss it with your sister-in-law and parents first!"

Jiang Hua nodded.

Such a big thing must be discussed with the family.

Before dark, parents, brother and sister-in-law took the children back to the dormitory.

Jiang Ning told Feng Yu about this.

Feng Yu was also surprised: "Brother, why do you suddenly have this idea?"

Jiang Ning said: "I don't know why he suddenly wanted to send Tingting away. Maybe he saw the outside world and wanted the next generation to live in a better environment. Who knows!"

Feng Yu thought for a while and said, "It's good to send it away, but it will be difficult to get it back in the future."

Jiang Ning said: "From what he said, it's best not to come back after sending it out."

Feng Yu asked: "Brother, are you going out too?"

Jiang Ning said: "I haven't thought about this yet, let's send Tingting out first!"

Feng Yu nodded.

Two days later, a family meeting was held at home.

Discuss this matter specifically.

In the past, Jiang's father and mother would never agree to such a thing.

But this person is afraid of having knowledge.

The more you see of the world, the more you will naturally choose a better living environment.

Jiang Youxin and Zhang Yulan have lived for most of their lives and have a strong sense of local attachment. Even though they have seen the vastness of the world, they have no plans to go out. However, they do not object to their children going out, but they are not sure whether there will be anyone to burn paper money on their graves a hundred years later.

It doesn’t really matter.

For parents, ensuring their children and grandchildren live a good life always comes first.

Only Chen Huiru was very conflicted and couldn't bear to leave her daughter.

If it was really sent away, she would definitely not go.

Her son was too young and she was not ready.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang didn't really want to go out, so this matter had to be put aside for the time being.

June 1st is here and the school is celebrating Children's Day.

The weather was too hot and Jiang Ning didn't want to go out.

Wearing a pair of shorts, soaking in the swimming pool, lazily enjoying the quietness.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue sat by the swimming pool, watching the children and playing with their cell phones.

The stroller was parked nearby and my daughter was sleeping.

Feng Xue was playing with her phone when she suddenly called out, "Husband?"

Jiang Ning floated over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Yu showed him his phone: "What do you think of this house?"

Jiang Ning glanced at it and asked, "Which house?"

Feng Yu said: "From Sanya."

Jiang Ning commented: "It's OK!"

Feng Yu was very excited: "Bei'an is too cold in winter. I suddenly thought, should we buy a house in Sanya? What do you think of spending the winter in Sanya?"

Jiang Ning said: "That's like taking off your pants to fart. Instead of buying a house in Sanya, it's better to go to Australia and spend the summer there."

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but Australia is too far away. It's not convenient to travel far with children."

Jiang Ning said: "Sanya is not close. If you can fly to Sanya, why can't you fly to Australia?"

Feng Yu lost his mood: "Forget it then."

Jiang Ning said, "Forget it. It's rare that you want to buy a house, so just buy it. It's not a lot of money anyway."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "Then come and take a look when you have time. Now that we have bought a house, we will go to Sanya to spend the winter this year."

Jiang Ning followed suit and went to the office building in the afternoon.

Just arrange this matter.

Buying a house is troublesome, so he doesn't want to go through the trouble of looking at houses.

Assign this matter to Kong Fangfei.

When Kong Fangfei heard that he was going to buy a house in Sanya, she became excited: "Boss, you bought a house in Sanya. When we go to Sanya for tourism in the future, can you stay in your villa and save the money for staying in a hotel?"

Jiang Ning said unhappily, "How come you think she's more beautiful than me?"

Kong Fangfei said with a playful smile: "You can't stay here many times a year anyway, so letting us stay here can get some value back for the room price. Otherwise, it will just be wasted there, what a pity."

Jiang Ning pinched his forehead and said, "Don't be so playful. Go find me a house first."

Kong Fangfei agreed and went out happily.

I went home and cleaned up in the afternoon.

The next day I went to the provincial capital and flew to Sanya to look at houses.

Finding a house is indeed a strenuous job, and it is no wonder that Jiang Ning does not want to go by himself. You can only know what the house is like by seeing it in person. Some houses are not good at first glance. Kong Fangfei does not need to report, because she knows that the boss does not like them.

Only when she thought it was okay did she take a photo and send it to Jiang Ning.

Or make a video call and let Jiang Ning see it in person.

After searching for half a month, I picked out five or six sets that were pretty good.

Jiang Ning looked at the photos and listened to the report before he went there in person.

He looked at several houses and even played a video chat with Feng Yu to have a look.

Finally, I bought a large house of more than 300 square meters.

Notify the finance department to come and pay the money for the transfer.

Jiang Ning did not return to Bei'an, but flew to Australia.

The ranch manager Avicii called and said that there was a ranch next door for sale.

Since there was no grass this year, the rancher had to buy grass at a high price to keep the ranch running. After a few months, he could no longer sustain the business and planned to stop the loss and sell the ranch. Jiang Ning wanted to go over and take a look and buy it if it was suitable.

Besides gold, his favorite thing was land.

I thought those ranchers would have to hold on until next year when they could no longer hold on and then sell their ranches.

I didn't expect that I overestimated those guys. It's less than half a year.

I just wanted to sell the ranch to stop the loss.

Jiang Ning felt that people from his hometown were much better than foreigners in this regard.

I won't sell the land easily unless I'm completely exhausted.

I got off the plane in Melbourne and just turned on my phone after going through customs.

Jiang Hua called and said, "Where are you? I have discussed it with my parents."

Jiang Ning said: "We just arrived in Melbourne, how did you discuss it?"

Jiang Hua said, "Mom and Dad will take Tingting out first. After two or three years, when Ziwen is ready to go to kindergarten, your sister-in-law and I will be ready before we go out."

Jiang Ning asked: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Hua said: "I have to ask you about this. I don't know either."

Jiang Ning said, "Let's talk about it when I get back."

Jiang Hua said OK and hung up the phone.

Jiang Ning held the phone and thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.
