"Ah Quan, you haven't been here in your hometown these years. You probably don't know my situation. I...how should I put it? My family does have some money. In our village, I can't say how good my family's conditions are, at least they are better than
There is more than enough, some of which were saved by my parents, and some of which I earned from going out to work over the years..."
At this point, Sun Yu paused before continuing: "However, my parents just want me to get married in recent years. They are not willing to spend a penny on anything that has nothing to do with marriage, including my marriage in recent years.
I can't get back a penny of the salary I gave them. They said that as long as I get married, they will use the money to renovate the house at home, as well as pay the bride price to the woman, as well as banquets and other expenses.
take.
But other than that, no matter what I wanted to do, they refused to give me money. Not only did they not give me money, they also required me to hand in my monthly salary, which they saved for me. My dad said, now we
The biggest thing at home is to save money for my future marriage. For this goal, my mother would even curse her if she bought some meat or a fish.
Normally! If I buy myself a new dress, he will scold me for being a prodigal. Then, if he sees other young people dressed more handsomely than me outside, he will scold me again when he comes home for not being able to look good.
A little bit, and then scolded me no wonder so many women I dated didn’t like me..."
Maybe the chatter box was opened, but Sun Yu continued: "What's even more speechless, do you know what it is?
Let me tell you! You don’t know if you are not in your hometown. Normally, if I go out to meet a friend to play, my dad will curse me when I come back, saying that I don’t do my job properly and just play all day long. The scolding is really unpleasant.
But...sometimes he is in a bad mood. When he sees me at home, he scolds me for not being like a young man at all. He says that other young people only know how to play outside when they have nothing to do, so he finds a partner by himself and scolds me.
I stay at home all day long and have no future. I can't even find a partner, but I have to ask them to help me find a partner... Ah Quan, tell me, what can I do with such a father?
I have long told my dad that I want to grow seedless watermelons, and I told him more than once or twice. I said that as long as I make money growing watermelons, it will not be difficult to find a partner, but what did he say? He said
He has no objection to growing watermelons, but he has to wait until I get married first. After I get married, he has no objection to whatever I want to do, but the problem is... no one can think highly of me in my current condition.
How do I get married? Who do I marry? What do you think?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he slowly remembered some memories about Sun Yu's father.
In his impression, Sun Yu's father seems to be a very stingy person. Although his family's conditions are not bad, he is reluctant to eat or wear clothes.
The family wears almost all old clothes every year.
Moreover, in his impression, Sun Yu's father seemed to be very stubborn and had his own theory of life, and no one else could convince him.
"So, you need me to invest in you? Xiaoyu! Are you sure that if I invest in you, will your father allow you to grow watermelons? Will he insist that you continue to work in the factory without taking any risks and get a
A stable salary?”
After Sun Quan asked this question, Sun Yu fell silent on the other end of the phone.
Just when Sun Quan thought that Sun Yu had given up and gave up the idea of growing watermelons, Sun Yu spoke, "Ah Quan, to be honest with you, I'm going crazy. I really don't want to continue to live this horrible life. I want to
Change, I want to separate some distance from my dad, I don’t want to live with him every day, I really can’t stand it anymore.
In the past, I paid all my salary and I had no money. I couldn't do anything I wanted to do. Even if I wanted to move out, I didn't have the money to rent a house.
But that doesn't mean I like living with my dad, or that I don't want to change.
If you are willing to invest in me this time, I have made up my mind. Even if I fall out with my dad, I will not listen to him. In fact... they also arranged a blind date for me today. I haven't gone yet, but I
I already know that the result will definitely be to come back and play with it. Ah Quan, can you invest some money for me? It can be regarded as a loan, it can be regarded as a share, or I can give you most of the shares. Now I just want to do something of my own.
I don’t want to live like this anymore, I want to live according to my own ideas..."
Sun Quan didn't know what to say for a while.
He could understand the hardship in Sun Yu's heart.
Because before his rebirth, he, Sun Quan, was also trapped in life. Year after year, he was like being trapped in an invisible net from which he could not escape.
At that time, he had always known that as long as he could buy a house and raise enough money for renovations and gifts, it would not be difficult to marry a wife.
But... money is not the problem, the problem is lack of money!
His performance in writing online articles is too unstable. When he is doing well, he can earn several thousand a month, which seems very satisfying.
But hitting the street is like a curse placed on him, always following him, and may make him poor for more than half a year, or even longer, at any time.
Then the little money I finally saved was slowly consumed.
At that time, it seemed that there was another way in front of him.
——Give up writing and go out to find a job. Your income will be stable and you can get in touch with more girls. The hope of getting married seems to be much greater.
But reason told him... it was too late! It was too late!
At that time, he was already at the age of three. What could he do when he went out? Become a chef in a restaurant? Or be a general worker in a factory?
is there time?
Being a worker requires experience and length of service, both of which he had neither.
Being a chef...yes! In addition to writing, he studied some dishes, and he was indeed pretty good at it, but he knew that the dishes he studied out of interest were not enough for him to cook in restaurants outside.
Because the cooking he learned in college... was mainly theoretical knowledge.
It would take a long time to transform all of them into practical skills, and the dishes he studied out of interest during those years of writing were seriously partial to the subject.
In general, restaurants require chefs who can cook a much more comprehensive range of dishes.
"Ah Quan? Ah Quan, are you still there? You...can you help me this time? You can invest or lend me money..."
Sun Yu's voice came again on the phone, pulling Sun Quan back from his thoughts.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Sun Quan asked: "Xiaoyu, the business of growing seedless watermelons is indeed possible, but... do you know the technology to grow seedless watermelons? This thing will definitely not work without the corresponding technology. If you just grow it,
Ordinary watermelon, then there may be nothing to gain, think about it! How many people in the countryside grow watermelon every year? But how many people have you seen who grow watermelon and really get rich? Huh?"
Sun Yu: "I know, I know everything! Ah Quan, I have thought about it. If you are willing to invest in me or lend me money, then I will resign tomorrow, quit my current job, and then go out to spend money."
Spend some money and learn the technology of growing seedless watermelons. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ve already found out where you can learn this technology. Alas! If my dad hadn’t said anything and wouldn’t give me any money, I wouldn’t.
Give me back all the wages I turned in, and I would have gone to school a long time ago."
Sun Quan thought for a while and nodded slightly. Sun Yu and he had grown up together. He still understood Sun Yu's character. Maybe they had not seen each other for so many years and there were some changes, but he believed that it was difficult to have too many differences in the quality of a person's character.
big change.
In his memory, Sun Yu was not the kind of person who was unreliable. He was reliable in his words and actions.
"Xiaoyu, let me tell you this! I can support you in this project of yours. You can quit your job first, and then I will give you money to learn the technology. When you have learned the technology and come back, I will also
I will give you a sum of money and let you try to contract a few acres of land first. If you can take care of those acres of land, I can make more investment for you. Well, let’s talk about this later! In short, I
We can give you money to learn technology first, and we will discuss whether to invest in you or lend you money later, do you think this is okay?"
Again, Sun Quan's money didn't come from a strong wind.
Even if he was willing to help Sun Yu, he couldn't just give Sun Yu hundreds of thousands immediately based on Sun Yu's empty words.
Sun Yu has to come up with his own attitude first.
After all, it was Sun Yu who asked Sun Quan for this matter.
Therefore, Sun Quan wanted to see how determined Sun Yu was this time. He was reluctant to quit his current job and study technology right away.
On the phone, Sun Yu fell silent again.
Sun Quan did not give him the right words, and only asked him to resign and study technology first, and talk about the rest later...
This sounds uneasy.
Sun Quan didn't rush him, he just smoked and waited with a smile.
If you want to change your life and your destiny, you have to be brave enough. If you don't even have this courage and courage, then he really doesn't think Sun Yu can really do a good job in this project.
Because no business in this world is easy to do.
Of course some people can accomplish something easily, but does Sun Yu have that ability?
But when the ability is insufficient, strong enough courage and determination are needed.
About ten seconds later, Sun Yu replied, "Okay! Ah Quan, I believe you! I will... no! I will quit my job this afternoon, and then leave as soon as possible to learn the technology of growing seedless watermelons. I
I guarantee that I will learn this technique! Don’t worry about that!”
Sun Quan was a little relieved. It seemed that Sun Yu really wanted to make changes this time.
"Okay! By the way, you just said that you also have a blind date today? When is it? Why don't you go and have a look first? What if your blind date is successful this time? Haha."
"Well, I will definitely go. I promised my mother, but the hope is definitely slim, alas!"
On the phone, Sun Yu sighed.
Sun Quan chuckled, "Oh, let's do this for now! We'll wait until the results of your blind date come out today. If it really fails this time, then let's just follow the agreement we just made. I'll give you tuition, and you'll resign and go study first."
technology."
In fact, when he said this, Sun Quan thought that 90% of the time Sun Yu would fail in the blind date.
Because in the original time and space... Sun Yu finally bought his daughter-in-law with money. There are some poor places in the south where there are many daughters, so they are willing to sell their daughters.
Sun Yu: "Well, that's settled! Thank you, Quan, thank you very much!"
