Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 207 Liu Jiajia's Difficulties
"How can you talk like that, kid?" Lu Xiangnan scolded.

Zhou Laosi laughed out loud. This brought back the scars of last year. Now he didn't dare to mention his mute daughter in front of Lu Feng.

It’s better to just marry someone into your family!

"It's like this. I and another friend want to invest in a feed mill next to the breeding farm. I discussed it with Brother Nan, and thought of using the money earned from the breeding farm this year to invest it, but Brother Nan refused to agree. So..." Zhou Laosi smiled awkwardly.

Lu Xiangnan was very conservative and always thought that Lu Feng's money might have been collected or borrowed, so he wanted to make money and let Lu Feng pay it back first.

So even if Zhou Laosi boasted to the sky, he would never give in.

"That's a good thing, Dad. Why don't you agree? There are several thousand acres of breeding farms in the village now, plus those in the two surrounding towns, which add up to at least tens of thousands of acres. There is still demand." Lu Feng could do the math.

Not to mention how far the product is sold, even for the surrounding areas, 10,000 tons a year are definitely needed.

And it is a stable demand.

"You've finally made some money, but instead of paying it back to the people around you, you invest it. When will you be able to earn it back?" Lu Xiangnan still felt insecure as always.

Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "The annual operating cost of the breeding farm is only a few hundred thousand. You should just save the money for this year's production and invest the rest."

"Hahaha, I knew that young people who have seen the world are easier to talk to." Zhou Laosi was instantly happy when he heard Lu Feng agree.

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, you just mentioned investing in a factory. How big is it?" Lu Feng just remembered it at this time.

"We have selected the land. The entire supporting facility is about 20 acres, which is mainly rented. The total planned investment is 5 million. I plan to invest in the name of Australia Sheng Company, which will account for about half. After the investment, there will be hundreds of thousands left, which will be used for the breeding farm this year." Zhou Laosi said.

"Are you sure?" Lu Feng asked.

Zhou Laosi nodded affirmatively: "Of course there must be."

"That's fine, just go ahead and do it. If my old antique dad can't convince you, then come and talk to me." Lu Feng smiled deliberately.

Zhou Laosi drank tea for a while, then said that there was someone else at home and left in a hurry.

Lu Xiangnan seemed a little melancholy. "It's hard to save up some money, don't spend it lavishly. Building a house will cost money, and your wedding will cost money..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Feng stood up immediately like a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, and screamed, "Wu Xin called me! I'm leaving, Dad."

Only after he almost jogged out of the house did Lu Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew that this would probably be the biggest problem he would face every year he returned.

What era is this? Who gets married at the age of 20?
Lu Feng really couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. You know, in Guangzhou, most people in their twenties are still studying.

He quickly made a phone call to rescue his buddy.

After a full half hour, Wu Xin and Liu Chang came to the village cultural square with sad faces.

Wu Xin, who had never been afraid of anything, acted as if he had just experienced a catastrophe: "Damn it, I should have known not to come back."

Liu Chang was also still frightened: "Sometimes, I really don't know whether it's better to be rich or poor. Before I was with Boss Lu, I was always alone, carefree and happy. Sigh..."

The three of them complained to each other and strolled around the Cultural Square until dinner time, when they had to go home.

After discussing it, the three of them hurried back to Guangzhou to seek refuge after the third day of the New Year.

After dinner, the three of them used the same trick again and ran to the Cultural Square to avoid it. After walking for a while, Lu Feng's cell phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be Liu Jiajia's.

"Lv Feng, can you come and pick me up?" On the phone, Liu Jiajia's voice was no longer as cheerful as usual.

Lu Feng felt depressed. Could it be that Liu Jiajia was facing the same pressure?
After saying something to the two of them, Lu Feng stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to Yanhe North Road.

As soon as I stopped by the roadside, I saw Liu Jiajia jogging towards me, wearing a simple sportswear with a white down jacket on the outside.

She opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, her body trembling slightly.

Lu Feng looked at her with a frown and said nothing.

He had never seen Liu Jiajia like this. Whether when she was in school or in the company, Liu Jiajia was always optimistic and carefree.

After five minutes, Liu Jiajia finally controlled her emotions, took a deep breath, put her hands on her chest, and performed the standard lifting and lowering movements.

Lu Feng teased her deliberately: "What's wrong? It's New Year's Day, what happened to make Miss Liu so upset?"

"It's hard to explain." Liu Jiajia sighed, and suddenly changed her tone and said, "Let's go to Peninsula for coffee."

Soon, the two sat down at the peninsula and ordered two snacks.

Liu Jiajia ordered a cappuccino for herself and considerately arranged a frappuccino for Lu Feng. The expression on her face finally returned to its previous state.

"thank you boss."

"It's okay. As a qualified boss, it's my duty to care about my employees."

Sure enough, Liu Jiajia was instantly amused, and when the coffee came, she started talking more.

"I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate to be born in such a traditional family." Liu Jiajia opened up and was ready to pour out her heart, "From childhood to adulthood, whether it was my grandparents or my parents, they only had eyes for my brother."

"No matter how well I behaved when I was young, no matter how sensible I was, in their eyes, I was always like water to be thrown away."

"They didn't want me to go to Guangzhou to study, but I went anyway. I didn't ask for a penny from my family, and I was determined to finish college and find a job outside. I would not come back if I could."

Listening to Liu Jiajia's intermittent confession, Lu Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

As a boy in Chaoshan, it is really hard to empathize with the situation. The phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is very common.

When he was a child, he heard that a neighbor's aunt gave birth to seven daughters for ten consecutive years because she couldn't give birth to a boy.

Lü Feng was ignorant at the time and thought it was funny that he asked his mother: "Isn't that the same as a sow?"

At that time, he didn't realize the sadness and helplessness his mother felt when she didn't answer the questions.

Now, Lu Feng understood!
"Sometimes, I feel sad. But I am powerless to resist. All I can do is hope that myself and future generations will not be so ignorant." Lu Feng expressed his thoughts.

"Yes. Ignorance! After so many years of reform and opening up, their thinking has not been able to keep up with the times. Even if I tell them that Guangzhou is full of only-child daughters, does that mean they will have no descendants? They still talk to me about eating out of the family and being bullied in the future. I really can't stand it. What's more terrifying is..." Liu Jiajia sighed, with something called despair in her eyes, "Even if my brother is idle, uneducated, and has almost squandered all the family savings, they still think that is their hope."

"This time, you sent me the text message about more than 30,000 yuan, and my brother accidentally saw it. They forced me to take out the money and give it to him to date a girlfriend. Don't they know that this is the money I need for school? In fact, they know, but they don't care at all, you know, Lu Feng. They just don't care..." Liu Jiajia's voice suddenly became very small, and she buried her head in her chest, not raising it for a long time.
