Prepare for a rainy day

  Originally wanted to find a big brother to discuss finding a job, but he made another car.

  Yu Sai glanced at him and said, "Young uncle, you didn't sell the car at a loss, did you?"

  Bai Wenxin smiled awkwardly, "Little thing, look at what you're saying, is your little uncle that foolish?"

  Bai Wenshen didn't dare to say more, fearing that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. This little niece may not speak much normally, but her carefulness far surpasses that of her nephew. He must be on guard, or else he might accidentally reveal something with just one sentence.

  "Fourth brother, I'm going to deliver goods tomorrow and will give you the car when I get back. But we have an agreement, if I lend you the car, you must work hard and not do anything improper. If I find out you've done something bad, watch out for your leg! And if you dare cheat your big brother, you'll have to live with yourself."

  Bai Wenguang also scolded his younger brother, after all, they were all grown-ups now. Although talking more didn't necessarily mean he would listen, what needed to be said still had to be said.

  Bai Wenshen heard the big brother's words, his heart was a little frightened, and he secretly muttered to himself that he couldn't gamble again in the future. If he was really discovered by the big brother of their family, his leg might not be spared.

  Big Brother knows what kind of person he is, clearer than anyone else. He's been protecting him all along, but if things really get out of hand, the eldest in their family won't care whether he's his own brother or not.

  "Brother, I will definitely work hard, don't worry, I can still get by with Qian. Just wait and see my performance in the future."

  Although Yu Tong had some doubts in her heart, the car was indeed bought back to be scrapped at that time, and its condition was not good. Even if it was sold, it would not be worth much money. She was worried that Bai Wensheng had done other things.

  "Little uncle, I did hear what my dad said just now. In the future, if you really want to do something bad, be careful with that leg of yours."

  She also took a roundabout approach to this uncle, no matter what happened, she had to make a fuss. Don't cause trouble, in the end, it's still their family that suffers, and she doesn't want to clean up after Bai Wensheng, this younger uncle wasn't very good to her either.

  Bai Wenli still wanted to believe what his brother said, it was just a broken car, and not much money. As long as Bai Wenxin could become a good person in the future, that would be better than anything else.

  This matter was passed off, and Geng Mei's side had also finished cooking. Bai Wenli directly pulled his younger brother to eat a simple meal together at home.

  "Fourth brother, have you heard from your second brother recently?"

  When it comes to this matter, Bai Wenshen is a bit dissatisfied. "Big brother, you said that the second brother is also like this, taking Li Qian and the child away, whether they are good or bad, at least give me a message, our dad is still thinking about Haocen every day, by the way, our dad asked me to take Haoran over to live for a while."

  Before Bai Wenli could speak, Yu Tong spoke up. She wasn't unwilling to let her brother go to Grandpa's house, but if things continued like this, the perseverance that Bai Haoran had just cultivated in Bai Wenli would be undone again.

  "Little uncle, my dad is taking me and my brother to visit our aunt tomorrow, so my brother can't go back with you today."

  When it comes to watching Bai Xinyi, Bai Wenshen also became interested.

  "Big brother, why don't you take me with you tomorrow too? It's just as well that if you get tired of driving, I can help out. It's been a long time since I've gone to big sister's house, and I have no idea how she's doing now."

  Bai Wenli's arrival was met with a welcoming attitude from Bai Wencheng, who took his younger brother out for a look around, so as to prevent him from doing something out of line at home.

  "Go ahead and get ready, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. Tell Dad about it and see if he has anything to bring for your sister."

  Bai Wenshin helped with some work here in the afternoon before going back.

  Geng Mei picked some fruit in the orchard and brought it over for her elder sister.

  Yu Sai wandered around the orchard, it's good here, but what if they don't have the contract for the orchard in the future, shouldn't some things be prepared in advance?

  After thinking about it for half a day, I feel that this idea should be implemented as soon as possible. If we wait until everything is urgent, it will be too late.

  "Dad, come here for a moment."

  He called Bai Wenli alone to the depths of the orchard and asked, pointing at the mountains of fruit trees, "Dad, do you think this orchard will always belong to us?"

  Bai Wenli couldn't help but laugh at the innocent question asked by his daughter.

  "Silly girl, the orchard belongs to the public, how can it always belong to our family? In two years, the contract will expire, and who knows, maybe someone else will take over. These two years, our family's orchard hasn't been without people eyeing it, but because we signed a contract back then, so even if someone wants to make a move, they'll have some reservations. As for what happens in the future, it's hard to say."

  Bai Wengui was speaking from the heart, he felt that there was no need to hide anything from his daughter. Although she was young, Xiao Yu's mind was more mature than her mother's. Whatever questions she asked, she must have had her own thoughts.

  Yu Sha gazed at the vast orchard for half a day before saying in a low tone, "Dad, have you thought about what we'll do if we can't continue to lease this orchard? Farming is hard labor and our family has few people. I don't want you and mom to overexert yourselves. Although we still have some money, who knows what the future holds? Shouldn't we start thinking about our next move?"

  Bai Wengui smiled and patted Yuexi's head, "Girl, even if we don't have the orchard anymore, can't Dad still collect pelts? That's also a source of income, isn't it?"

  Yu Sai shook his head, "Dad, now the fur business is not bad, but this is also a low-profit industry. In the end, the money earned is just enough to make ends meet. What if there's more competition in the future and more people get into it? Have you thought about these things?"

  Yu Tong's words startled Bai Wenli, previously he really hadn't thought that far ahead, now every day eating well and dressing warmly, who would have thought about what to do in the future.

  After hesitating for a moment, he thought that since the child asked this question, they must have already made up their mind.

  "Daughter, can you tell Dad what's on your mind?"

  Yu Xiaoxiao smiled, "Dad, you're really overestimating me. I didn't have any good ideas, so I came to talk to you about it. This is what I think: in the future, my brother and I will definitely go to high school, and as for college, that's also a matter for later. But one thing's for sure, we won't be going to high school here."

  You think, the conditions here are definitely not as good as those in the city. I've been thinking, we still have three rooms left, shouldn't our family plan for the future when there's no orchard? I think it would be better to buy some pasture or contract some land on the Urumqi side, just in case something happens in the future, that will also be a place for us to settle down.

  Besides, you've seen the prices for these two years. Previously, an ice pop was five cents a stick, now it's one yuan a stick. And it's not just this aspect that has increased in price, other things will also rise later on. We have money from selling snow lotus, don't we? If we put it in the bank, it's dead money. We need to make the money work and bring out its maximum effect. This is what the book my second uncle bought for me says. What do you think of this idea?

  This was Yu Tong's first time truly analyzing these things with an adult mindset towards Bai Wenli.

  Bai Wengui thought that what his daughter said made sense, but after all, they were born and raised here, and leaving the army, he didn't even know what else he could do.

  "Sigh, girl, let Dad think about this carefully. What you said isn't something that can be done in a day or two. After all, our family's roots are here, and your grandparents are also here. Dad has some feelings for his hometown."

  Yu Xuan can understand Bai Wenli's feelings, although she knows the trend of the economy in later generations, but after all, some things are not just said to be done, nor is it that you have money and everything can be done, everything still depends on fate.

  "Haha, Dad, you know what's good for you, overall it's better to invest in assets than to save money."

  Bai Wengu's face was gentle as he stroked his daughter's hair, this child's thinking sometimes made even him feel inferior, the little girl's idea indeed had some reason, this matter would be carefully considered later.

  Actually, Bai Wengui also had his own thoughts in mind. He went out and after all, it was a new world, but his connections were all here, and he was considered a celebrity of sorts here, the model worker year after year. This honor would be hard to experience again elsewhere.

  Bai Wengui went to work, Yu Xuan sat on the ground and thought for a while. At this time, she realized that her previous thoughts were somewhat selfish. To say that a man's success is not just about money, but also the sense of accomplishment that comes with recognition.

  Her father's honor and connections are all in the army, how can he just leave like that? This is a state-run big collective after all. If we talk about retirement later, children of old soldiers like Bai Wenli who are second-generation military dependents will have pensions. If they go out, they won't have anything.

  She can't help but sigh inwardly. She's still young and hasn't thought things through thoroughly. All she thinks about is money, but some things can't be bought with it.

  Especially for someone like Bai Wenhui who values family and brotherly love, sigh... I hope they can live in peace from now on, as long as she has this space, she can guarantee that her family won't go hungry.

  She is not a fairy, but just a person who died and was lucky enough to be reborn. The future direction of this family is unpredictable, she can only take it one step at a time, everything is an unknown number.

  "Sister, I've already talked to Zhou Chen and Zou Li about it. They'll help us ask for a leave of absence and bring back our report cards at the same time."

  Seeing the big brother running over with a head full of sweat, Yu Xun took out a small handkerchief to wipe his sweat. I thought the little guy had gone out to play earlier, but it turned out he was still thinking about this matter. He handled things from start to finish, not bad. In the future, practice well and grasp the materials.

  "Sister, I'll climb the tree and pick some fruit. You wait below and catch them. We can take some to town tomorrow to sell."
