If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 278 There is no right or wrong choice! Never glorify the path you didn’t take! (-in-)

Lin Feng was talking to Liu Yong.

Zhang Yunshu, on the other hand, had already rushed to Uncle Lin's home and opened his mouth anxiously:

"Grandpa Lin, I have something urgent to contact Grandpa Li in Miaoping. Can you take me there in a tricycle?"

Uncle Lin looked at the sky and was a little surprised:

"What can't we talk about tomorrow?"

Zhang Yunshu shook his head:

"A friend of mine bought a batch of weaving machines, so I quickly asked Miaoping Village if he wanted them and how many we wanted."

"Tell them early so they can have more time to think about it because the machine is quite expensive."

When Uncle Lin heard that it was a business matter, his expression suddenly became serious and he said to Zhang Yunshu:

"We can't say tomorrow, let's go, I'll take you there on a small tricycle."

The two agreed, and an old three-wheeler that made noise everywhere took to the road.

The camera crew of the program followed closely.

Seeing the grandfather and grandson bumping in the wind, the viewers in the live broadcast room were filled with emotion.

"I really hope that this mountainous area can become rich so that this hard work will not be in vain."

"I wonder if Miaoping Village wants these machines?"

"Where does the money come from? For big cities, ten thousand or twenty thousand is like water, but in the mountains, people may not have that much savings in their lifetime."

"Don't leave, wait and see!"

"..."

Soon, Uncle Lin took Zhang Yunshu to find Li Weiguo, the village party secretary of Miaoping.

After hearing Zhang Yunshu's explanation of his purpose, Li Weiguo took a deep breath of dry smoke, swallowing the smoke ring and spitting out:

"The loom we use manually cannot weave more than a few inches of cloth in a day."

"It would definitely be a good thing if you can get on the machine."

"It's just...too expensive."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunshu's heart froze. Could it be possible that this matter would not happen?

However, before she could open her mouth to persuade, Li Weiguo said:

"We can still tell the quality of things, so I'll call the villagers and hold a meeting to decide!"

Zhang Yunshu bit his lip and nodded.

It's a matter of concern to the whole village, and it's only right to involve everyone.

After a while, the loudspeaker of Miaoping Village rang.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone please bring their benches and come to Bazi for a meeting. There are big things to discuss."

"Everyone please..."

Li Weiguo's voice echoed above the village.

Zhang Yunshu could hear noises coming from all directions, and Miaoping Village was moving.

Soon, everyone gathered on the big earth dam, with Zhang Yunshu, Uncle Lin, and Li Weiguo standing in the center of the crowd.

"What's the matter? Call us all here?"

"Secretary of the Party Committee, Yun Shu, what's going on? Is the battle going so big?"

"..."

Questions and discussions surrounded the three of them. After a while, Zhang Yunshu stood up and said to everyone:

"The reason for inviting everyone here is to increase the production of cloth in our village."

"Normally, we use old looms and cannot weave a few inches of cloth in a day."

"Now I have channels to buy machines. With the machines, I can weave hundreds of meters of cloth a day."

"I just want to ask, does Miaoping Village have access to machines?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Come on, why not?"

"Yunshu, please stop being so pretentious. Is there any difficulty? Otherwise, you can't ask!"

"..."

Someone in the crowd directly pointed out the key point. Zhang Yunshu smiled bitterly and said:

"The difficulty is the price. This machine costs around 10,000 yuan per unit, plus the construction of our preliminary factory building and the laying of circuits and other trivial matters."

"The starting capital cannot be less than 100,000, and this 100,000 is just the beginning, just enough to pay a deposit or something."

"If our production cannot be sold and the capital cannot be recovered, we will be in debt."

"Everyone...are you still willing?"

As soon as Zhang Yunshu said these words, Tuba, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet.

The wind rustled the leaves, but not a single human voice was heard.

Zhang Yunshu's palms were sweating, but she knew she couldn't rush it.

Similarly, the audience in the live broadcast room were too nervous to express their anger.

"It involves money, and for the villagers it's an astronomical amount of money. It's not a easy decision."

"Yeah, let alone the villagers, even those of us who live in the city and have a higher income than them, we can't just invest this money."

"Everyone's silence makes me feel uneasy."

"..."

The audience was talking and the silence continued.

Just when Zhang Yunshu's heartstrings were about to break.

In the crowd, a small voice sounded——

"I still have ten chickens at home. Let's sell them all to raise money for the machine."

As soon as this voice came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves!

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the person who made the sound—Liu Amo, who had been a widow in Miaoping Village for many years.

Most of the villagers live a poor life.

But for the widowed Ame Liu, it was even more difficult.

These ten chickens are her treasures, and they usually have to carefully pick up every hair they shed.

The eggs she lays are her only source of income!

Silent emotions arose in everyone's hearts, and one voice after another sounded.

"It's crazy, I have a cow!"

“We won’t kill pigs for the Chinese New Year this year!”

"Old man, those two cypress trees I planted should be cut down and sold! If you can't leave anything for future generations, it won't be useful to sleep in a good coffin after you die!"

"Let's do it, future generations can't be as poor as us!"

"..."

The earth dam was boiling, and all the Miao villagers were picking up any valuable things at home.

Cash cannot be withdrawn, but the livestock can be sold and the longevity materials prepared can be sold.

Everyone here is holding their breath.

Holding back the breath of wanting to live like a human being and get rid of poverty.

In the past, they had no choice and no way to go.

Now, Zhang Yunshu has brought a glimmer of hope, and everyone wants to give it a try so that Miaoping Village can stand up and live a different life from their own generation.

Zhang Yunshu was surrounded by the voices of everyone's contributions, a warm current rose from his heart, and his eyes gradually became moist.

She can feel everyone's determination to get rich, and also understands the difficulties faced by people in mountainous areas——

Their resources are so scarce!

What he and Zhou Zicheng had taken for granted was an opportunity that required the entire village to fight for.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunshu felt more and more that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the moisture in the corners of her eyes, and said to everyone:

"Okay! Come and register with me, everyone!"

I must work hard to lead you out of poverty!

The last words were deeply pressed into Zhang Yunshu's heart and engraved into his bones.

Beside her, Uncle Lin was smoking a dry cigarette, his eyes a little red.

He didn't speak, but he was thinking about it in his mind. After the registration was completed, he would see how much was left.

During this period, Xiangzhang Village made some money.

You can go back and discuss it with everyone. If you can help, please help!

The viewers in the live broadcast room were deeply moved when they saw this scene.

"Holy shit, what's this called? Working together to achieve prosperity?"

"Remove the question mark! Everyone is holding back their energy. As long as they can still do it, they will never give up."

"For the sake of sacrifice, I dare to make the sun and moon change the sky!"

"Come on, think about your ideal life and rush forward!"

"I wish this business success, I will definitely place an order to support it!"

"plus one!"

“……”…………

A week later, several cars drove into Miaoping Village.

The machine Zhou Zicheng asked Wang Zhongqiang to buy was delivered.

When the car arrived, the entire Miaoping Village was boiling!

Even the cypress tree at the entrance of the village has a big red flower tied on it.

Originally, the villagers had to show off their New Year style and dance for two days.

In the end, Zhang Yunshu stopped the fire for them with one sentence——

"Putting it into production as early as possible is better than anything else!"

In this way, the entire village was devoted to the production and dyeing of cloth.

Under this intense rhythm, Zhang Yunshu's live broadcast is about to start again.

Before the broadcast, Zhang Yunshu once again stepped into Lin Feng's home.

Lin Feng looked at the faint blue-black color under the child's eyes and felt a little distressed:

"Yunshu, haven't you slept well recently?"

Zhang Yunshu was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Lin Feng's concerned look, he was a little moved:

"Teacher Lin, how did you notice it?"

Lin Feng smiled, pointed at the dark circles under her eyes, then turned and entered the kitchen.

Zhang Yunshu touched his eye circles. Although he didn't have a mirror to look at, he understood a little bit.

I just didn't understand why Lin Feng turned around and entered the kitchen.

After a while, Lin Feng walked up to Zhang Yunshu, handed her a bag, and said:

"This is jujube seed, lily and tuckahoe tea. It can soothe the mind. Take it and drink it before going to bed at night."

Zhang Yunshu took the tea bag and smiled sheepishly, but also had some doubts:

"Teacher Lin, how come you have this thing?"

Lin Feng smiled and explained nonchalantly:

"When I first started working, I was under a lot of pressure and couldn't sleep well at night, so I drank this."

"Later on, I habitually prepared some and drank it from time to time."

Zhang Yunshu was stunned, looking at the bag in his hand, slightly lost in thought:

"Teacher Lin, are you also unable to sleep because of stress?"

Lin Feng patted her head and said with a smile:

"Of course I will. Teachers are human beings too, and they also have worries and pressures."

Zhang Yunshu looked at Lin Feng blankly and muttered:

"I thought you were a genius and didn't have the worries of ordinary people!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled:

"What are you thinking about every day in your little head?"

"Okay, now I know that the teacher also has troubles. The teacher is not a genius. Is there any broken filter?"

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed loudly when they heard the conversation between the two.

"Hahaha, I don't know if Zhang Yunshu's filter is broken, but I'm not!"

"The more I get to know Teacher Lin, the more I like him and the thicker my filter becomes!"

"I finally found the similarities between Teacher Lin and I. We both have insomnia because we get the same style!"

"Teacher Lin is so honest and cute."

"..."

Everyone was joking, but at the scene, Zhang Yunshu thought carefully before answering Lin Feng's words:

"Teacher, not only is the filter not broken, but I also admire you even more."

"I used to think that geniuses can do things easily and effortlessly."

"But you just said that you are just an ordinary person."

"Then all the achievements you have achieved today are not what I imagined."

"When the filter is broken, it becomes even more profound!"

Lin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Stop, stop, stop, there's no need for commercial praise. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

Zhang Yunshu sighed:

"We sit and talk?"

The two of them sat down in the courtyard. Zhang Yunshu rested his elbows on the stone table, feeling a little sad:

"Teacher, tomorrow is the second time to bring goods to Miaoping Village. I'm very worried."

Lin Feng nodded clearly:

"Worried about sales not increasing? Worried about not living up to the expectations of Miaoping villagers?"

Zhang Yunshu showed no pretense in front of Lin Feng, frowned and added:

"I'm even more worried about not being able to make money. The villagers have lost all their money, and they can't repay the loan from Xiangzhang Village."

"By then, both villages will be trapped in the quagmire."

Lin Feng smiled, and instead of enlightening Zhang Yunshu directly, he changed the topic and said:

"Teacher, will you tell me a story about my past?"

Zhang Yunshu blinked.

"When I graduated from college, the Research Institute extended an olive branch to me..."

Lin Feng recalled the past with a soft smile on his face:

“My classmates, as well as my advisor, are all very happy for me.”

"Because entering the scientific research institute means that I will be supported by the country my whole life, and I will no longer have to worry about life."

"And I can also devote myself to the country's scientific research and serve the motherland."

Zhang Yunshu nodded. She had already heard about Lin Feng's past, which was widely circulated on the Internet.

Lin Feng looked towards the sky and said with emotion:

"But at that time, I hesitated."

"It's not that I'm not good at doing scientific research, it's just that I have another ambition."

"I know that I am not lacking in scientific research institutes, but there is a shortage of talents and education in mountainous areas."

"I want to build the mountains into a part of the city, instead of just escaping from the mountains alone."

"So, I had some disputes with my mentor..."

Speaking of this, a rare look of annoyance appeared on Lin Feng's face, and he sighed:

"Later I returned to my hometown and became a teacher, and I was under a lot of pressure."

"Because I'm worried that I can't teach the children well and that my ideas won't be realized."

“Sometimes it’s hard to avoid thinking that if I had gone to a scientific research institute, I wouldn’t have had such pressure.”

Zhang Yunshu nodded, looked at the tea bag in his hand, and said:

"That's when you were so stressed that you couldn't sleep well, right?"

Lin Feng nodded and said with a smile:

"But later I figured out that there is no right or wrong choice, and you can never beautify the path you did not choose."

"What I have to do is make my choice well, make achievements, and turn it into the right result."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he gently touched Zhang Yunshu's head:

"The teacher said so much, can you understand?"

Zhang Yunshu was stunned, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

"It turns out there are these stories behind Teacher Lin!"

"Teacher Lin makes sense. We are always facing pressure and making choices throughout our lives. If we are not determined, we will end up with the same thing."

"There is no right or wrong choice, sticking to your original intention is the most important thing!"

"Teacher Lin, you have learned a lesson!"

"..."

At the scene, Zhang Yunshu looked at Lin Feng blankly.

She thought Teacher Lin was chatting with her.

In fact, Teacher Lin is using her own experience to answer the questions she raised.

Yes, she was worried that she couldn't do well.

Sometimes when I dream back in the middle of the night, I also wonder, if I had not gone to the Miao Village, would I not be as stressed as I am today?

She didn't say this, but Teacher Lin noticed it.

He used his experience and personal experience to tell himself——

There is no right or wrong choice. Don't glorify the path you didn't take.

What we need to do is to be down-to-earth and clear the path we are currently on.

At this moment, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed!

Zhang Yunshu's heart suddenly brightened, and she said with sincere gratitude:

"Teacher Lin, thank you for your enlightenment, I understand!"

"And I'm not afraid of the delivery tomorrow!"

The smile returned to Zhang Yunshu's face.

At this moment, she turned back into the cheerful, confident little girl who was passionate about bringing goods.
