Li Feng didn't pay much attention to what the villagers were thinking. As for Taolin, there were a lot of village women, third aunts, fourth aunts and more than ten people in the afternoon, either looking at the pond or the ditch, Li Feng understood in his heart
, don’t say anything on the surface, warm hospitality.
As for the fish farming technology, Li Feng could only smile and shake his head. What skills did he have? He was just holding a book and talking about a few professional terms. A group of women and men nodded while listening. In fact, not many people understood it.
I feel that college students and educated people do things differently, and what they say is definitely right.
The second child, Maozi, and Conghai, a group of young children, made a fuss around Li Feng. Whoever teased the kid's temperament was the one who teased him. In fact, the main reason was that Li Feng was really generous. Last time he bought candy, this time, each person got twenty
, which is much more than a few people’s monthly pocket money. Li Feng enjoyed this moment quite a lot. The people in the village looked at him with a different meaning in the past few days, as if he really couldn’t make it in the city.
I came back to Shangougou. This time, I have made a turnaround. Look at me, I came back to make money.
Unfortunately, Li Feng was not happy for a long time. Zhang Lan's words made him stunned. Then he was going to Zhou Yan's house tomorrow. Why didn't he say that the meeting gift was not given last time? To keep Zhang Lan, Li Shan wanted to go thousands of miles away.
Pick one, 10,001 yuan. Speaking of which, the money is not much. Last time I heard Li Can say that someone had already asked for three catties, two or three pounds, as an engagement gift. These weighed more than 100 yuan, and Li Feng smacked his tongue when he heard it.
Nowadays, no matter whether it is in the city or in the countryside, boys have three fears. The first is fear of buying a house. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands or millions in the city, but in the countryside, a house can cost hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand each.
.The second fear is the fear of getting married. Betrothal gifts are now so high in rural areas that one can feel chills in the heart. Three or four golds, gold necklaces, gold rings, gold bracelets, and even gold anklets cost at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for a set.
These do not include furniture, electrical appliances, and the woman’s clothes. The total amount is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If you meet less, you can pick one out of ten thousand, and if you have more, you can pick out three kilograms, two or three, banquets and other things. Nowadays, in pursuit of high-end, just take a table at any five-star hotel in the city.
You can't watch it if you don't have three or two thousand. It's better in rural areas, but in the first few scenes of marriage, in ordinary families, the second marriage can't be relieved for three to five years. The third fear is that of giving birth to a baby. Nowadays, few people go to a hospital to give birth to a baby.
Five or six thousand, it’s unreasonable to pay less than a few thousand for milk powder. It costs tens of thousands to get it here and there. Let’s not talk about raising children and going to school. Why are young people unwilling to have children? I have to say here that the financial pressure is too great.
.
The atmosphere in Li Feng's mountain is better than outside, but Li Feng really doesn't know what to say about this money. Forget it, Zhou Yan definitely won't want it. He feels bad for giving it to him. How can he say that he gave it to him all at once for a few months' income?
Others would inevitably feel depressed, but looking at his parents, Li Feng could only nod in agreement.
"Tomorrow you go to the city by car and transfer to the provincial capital. The time will be early." Li Shan has been helping to get some things here. Li Shan is not very clear about the customs and habits of the provincial capital. Besides, it is a bit troublesome to transfer back and forth. Gifts
The preparations are quite troublesome. For people around me, if they are getting engaged, there is a convention for preparing half a pig, four or six one-meter-long grass carps, six or eight large roosters, and sixteen
Wrapped fruit candy, four boxes of fruit, four boxes of Laolongtan liquor, two boxes of beer, and two boxes of drinks. Other people wouldn't say much about these major preparations, but this week Yan's family, who is from the city, is so far away.
How to get something like this done is still a problem.
Li Feng called Zhou Yan, but he was not allowed to buy gifts. Li Shan could only puff on his cigarette and said nothing. Zhang Lan felt a little worried about this matter.
"Mom and Dad, let me see, Zhou Yan's family doesn't lack anything, but I heard Zhou Yan said that his grandfather prefers flowers, plants, fish and insects. I got some Clivia here. Although the variety is not the best, it looks good. Many cities
People here are thinking of paying for them. Besides, there are a few koi carps that have been valued at thousands. I’m going to get some specialty dry goods elsewhere, and I’m going to get some flower seedlings and koi carps here. This way, I’m interested but not worried.
Shivering." Li Feng looked at his father who was smoking and his mother who was dumbfounded and silent. In fact, he felt that he shouldn't give anything as a gift and just get some things in his own space. But Li Feng didn't dare to say it now, so he could only say this.
.
"Is this okay?" Zhang Lan's eyes lit up. It was different from the last time when several people looked at his son's carp and offered two to three thousand. His son was stunned and didn't buy it. He even complained a few times. This gift was a good gift.
good.
"Do people like your flowers and plants like it?" Li Shan put out the cigarette butt and looked up at his son, a little unsure whether such a gift was a bit shabby. The things he prepared were not useless at all.
"Dad, not to mention how expensive my flowers and plants are, they are still worth a few dozen yuan per plant. Maybe there will be good ones among them, even if there are thousands of them, it's not a sure thing. Besides, the old man only sees what he means, and I don't think he will embarrass me.
, you all know how Zhou Yan's parents treat people, how can such a family be like this?" The two elders were reassured, but Li Feng's own heart was trembling, forget it, this really made him feel like a new son-in-law was coming to his door.
The next day, before dawn, Li Feng was already slipped up by Zhang Lan. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Zhang Lan made poached eggs early and added some sugar. Breakfast had not been made yet because it was too early.
Li Feng yawned, finished eating the poached eggs, and packed up his things, including a few of the best orchids and chrysanthemum seedlings. A plastic box contained several koi carp. Zhang Lan was carrying some dry goods and mushrooms in a black plastic bag.
A bag full of fungus and bamboo shoots. The most exaggerated thing is that Li Shan went to the village last night and bought two dried wild rabbits and two pheasants, which are packed here.
"Xiaobao, go out and buy a box. These bags look ridiculous. Remember, when you go to other people's homes, you have to be polite, have a sharp eye, and be diligent in your hands and feet. You are not as lazy as you are at home." Zhang Lan whispered, and from now on.
Coming in, saying hello, eating, everything included, Li Feng felt that his nose was sore at the moment. Usually, his mother said so much, Li Feng must have felt nagging, but now his eyes felt itchy.
Li Feng nodded vigorously, looking at his mother who already had some gray hair, and felt in his heart that he should seriously find a girlfriend. After all, Zhou Yan was looking at flowers in the smoke, whether it was Li Feng or Zhou Yan, both of them
Human communication only lasted that night, when Li Feng was hit by a meteor.
The four-wheeled motorcycle faced the cool river breeze and light mist. The white skin of the river remained the same, and the distant mountains were shrouded in mist. There were few pedestrians on the road. Li Feng's motorcycle drove past, leaving a faint smoke and breaking the silence of the forest. Birds and animals
He stood up in shock and looked at the four-wheeled iron monster going away.
The car was left at Li Can's house. Li Feng took the earliest bus to the city. He transferred at the city bus station and arrived at the provincial capital around 11:30 noon.
Li Feng looked tired. It was really hard to ride in the car. His flowers, plants and koi were well protected. In the plastic box filled with spring water, the koi were still swimming freely. Could it be that a few orchids and chrysanthemum seedlings wrapped in soil were not
It was broken, and I breathed a sigh of relief. As for the specialties, most of them were dry goods, and a few bottles of self-brewed green date wine had already been placed by my feet.
Li Feng left the station and looked around. He was wearing a black silk dress in the distance, with black hair, fair skin, and eyes as cold as frost. Li Feng saw Zhou Yan at a glance and waved, and Zhou Yan looked over with faint eyes.
, walked over, the corners of Li Feng's mouth twitched slightly, this man had no enthusiasm at all.
"Here we come." Zhou Yan gently lifted her hair and helped Li Feng hold the things. The two of them remained silent and did not speak much. Zhou Yan stood slightly away from Li Feng.
Li Feng held the plastic box in his arms. The koi carp in it were quite valuable. He followed Zhou Yan into the car. The two of them didn't say a few words along the way. It seemed like they were just strangers who had met twice.
The community where Zhou Yan lives is quite famous. Li Feng often heard about Amber Villa when he was studying here. Zhou Yan's home is the most luxurious villa in the villa. Li Feng looked at it and was slightly stunned. The villas here are not cheap. Look.
Zhou Yan is really unusual. I smiled bitterly in my heart. The better the family background, the more problematic Zhou Yan is.
Li Feng walked into the door and looked at Zhou's father. Zhou's mother was already standing in front of the door. Li Feng hurriedly stepped forward. He was a junior, how could he let his elders go out to greet him? This was too rude.
"Uncle, Auntie." Li Feng's face was full of smiles, and Zhou's mother had a faint smile on her face. She looked at Li Feng and nodded, and several people entered the room.
There were two old people in the room. The old lady looked quite kind. She looked at Li Feng and nodded gently. The old man was sitting very casually, a little leisurely, but with a hint of dignity. Li Feng followed Father Zhou and stepped forward. Father Zhou helped introduce him.
Li Feng bent down to greet someone and called someone. Zhou Yan would follow her mother to pour tea, and Li Feng put down the things in his hands.
"My child is tired, please sit down quickly." The old lady's hair was mostly gray and her face was full of wrinkles. She took Li Feng's hand and sat down. Li Feng looked up and down quite shy. Li Feng felt depressed. What happened to him?
She felt like she was a little daughter-in-law. As for the old man next to him, his eyes were fixed on the few flower seedlings Zhou Yan had placed beside him. Li Feng found it quite funny, acting like a child.
"Not bad, not bad." The old man looked at several orchids and marveled. The old lady thought she was talking about Li Feng and nodded in agreement.
"Grandpa Zhou, I picked these flower seedlings myself. I heard Yanyan say that you have done a lot of research on flowers, plants, fish and insects. Let me show you some. I don't know much about it either. There are a few home-raised ones here.
"Koi." Li Feng looked at the old man with eyes full of love, and felt quite proud of himself. No matter how much he achieved in the past few months, even though he had the credit for the spring water, he couldn't do it without taking care of it.
"Haha, no, it's just a hobby. Hey, these koi are good, good, good, good, especially this one, the Taisho three-color, not bad, one or two thousand at least. The little guy can raise such a fish
It's not that simple." The old man looked at Li Feng more and more pleasantly now. Not to mention, looking at the flowers, plants, and fish fry, it goes without saying that this skill is much better than his own.
"No, it's just luck." Li Feng was humble on the face, but he was snickering in his heart. He didn't even know what these fish were at first, but let alone these few fish, Li Feng didn't even pay three thousand for them.
Selling it made Zhang Lan murmur for a while.
I came here to pick out a few. There were still more than ten left in the water tank at home, but as high-quality as the Taisho Tricolor, Li Feng only had three or four in total. He brought two over this time, mainly to watch Zhou Yan save his life.
