A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 275 Emotional Animals
According to data, the number of people suffering from mental illnesses ranks first in the world, with nearly one billion people affected.

Jiang Ning felt that it was all because she ate too much.

Anyway, for a guy like him who has been through piles of dead bodies, mental illness is just a result of being too full. Throwing someone like him into a place like Yemen would probably cure him without medicine. People can't even survive, let alone have time to be depressed.
But it's hard to say for sure.

It should be related to a person's psychological resilience.

Someone with such a strong inner strength would not develop a mental illness even if they died on the battlefield. However, some people with weaker mental resilience might experience a mental breakdown or even mental derangement under the slightest stimulation.

When something like this happens in an employee's family, it's natural to ask about it.

I called Lao Yang and he said it wasn't a big problem.

I got a few small cuts on my wrist, and it bled a little.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions; losing a little blood wouldn't kill him.

Feng Yu, however, thought long-term: "Children these days are hard to raise. With such abundant material life, people are pursuing a richer spiritual life, and mental illnesses are becoming more and more common. We have to be careful."

Jiang Ning was speechless: "Aren't you thinking too far ahead?"

Feng Yu complained, "A child's growth is no small matter."

Jiang Ning was even more speechless: "Tian Tian is only a little over a year old, and she's still wearing diapers."

Feng Yu rarely argued with him: "You can't be so indifferent. There are many stages of growth in life, and each stage is very important. The difference between people is mainly due to education."

"Sweetie was just weaned, and you're already talking about education?"

"Education is not just about reading books and going to school. The formation of good habits, the cultivation of interests and hobbies, and the shaping of a healthy personality in children from an early age are all part of family education. If you don't cultivate these qualities from a young age, what are you going to do when you're older?"

"Spare the rod and spoil the child, but I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Feng Yu was a little angry: "Can you stop arguing?"

Jiang Ning readily surrendered: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."

It's been more than three years since we met, got married, and had a child.

Feng Yu had never argued with him before, even though they had many conflicting views. This was the first time she had ever gotten angry with him. Jiang Ning had grown up in a wild and unruly manner and had never even attended university.

Habits form naturally, and my daughter is still young.

I've never really considered education.

Not wanting to have a falling out with his wife over this, he had no choice but to back down.

He is still flexible and adaptable.

He went to the county in the afternoon, and the leaders, hearing that he had returned, invited him to come and have a chat.

We didn't talk about anything serious, just chatted casually for a few minutes.

On my way back, I went to the farmers' market and checked out my uncle Zhang Yuedong's vegetable wholesale shop. It was only about 50 square meters and not very big. The signboard directly read "Xianling Farm Vegetable Specialty Store," which was a blatant attempt to piggyback on traffic. Yang Qiuyan was the first to do so.

Aunt Wang Xia wasn't there; only Uncle was in the shop.

Jiang Ning asked his uncle, "Is such a small shop enough?"

Zhang Yuedong said, "It's enough for now. When Jiang Hua's vegetables arrive, I've rented a cold storage room of over 500 square meters in the back. It can hold as many vegetables as we need."

"How's business?"

"The farm's vegetables sell very well; they've all been pre-ordered by employees. We can't keep up with the demand. The rest are all vegetables from outside the farm, and there's a lot of spoilage. We're basically selling or giving away the rest."

"That's not very high."

"It is quite expensive, so vegetables from outside have to be sold at a high price, otherwise there is no profit, and it may even result in a loss. Vegetables from the farm are produced quickly with almost no loss, so they can be sold at a lower price and the profit is still higher than that of vegetables from outside."

Did you go see Zhang Yulong this time?

"I saw him."

"How is he?"

"My mental state is much better than before."

Have you lost weight?

"Thin."

How's the food at the mine?

"Don't worry, Uncle, your son won't starve."

Zhang Yuedong chuckled dryly. A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, and so does a father. Besides, this is no longer a case of a son traveling a thousand miles.

It's more than ten thousand miles.

Zhang Yuedong said, "I was watching short videos the other day and saw that the army in the Democratic Republic of Congo was being chased and fleeing in panic by the rebels. The provinces you mentioned are almost occupied by the rebels. Is it safe to work in the mines?"

Jiang Ning said, "No problem, where's my aunt?"

"Nothing's wrong here, I'm going home. Can I go check it out?"

"Sure, Uncle wants to go?"

"I'm not planting vegetables anymore. I don't have much to do lately, so I thought I'd go and take a look."

Jiang Ning said, "I plan to send Zhang Yulong to Europe next month. When does Uncle plan to go?"

Zhang Yuedong asked, "What are you going to Europe for?"

Jiang Ning said, "I have also set up a family office in Europe. Zhang Yulong went there to learn from him, just like Sister Xiaoyun. He will be in charge of my finances in the future. I don't really trust outsiders to manage my money."

Zhang Yuedong said, "Deng Xiaoyun originally studied finance, while Zhang Yulong doesn't know anything about it."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "That's not a big problem. Professional financial issues will naturally be handled by professional accountants. Zhang Yulong doesn't need to worry about it. Just keep an eye on the money and make sure there are no major problems."

Zhang Yuedong was conflicted: "I still need to find him a wife. How long will it take if we go to Europe?"

Jiang Ning said, "Uncle still thinks the same way. Zhang Yulong is already married. When he goes back to Bei'an, he should ask around for a wife. What kind of woman do you think he can find? He can stay in Europe for a few years and find a foreign wife for him. That would be great."

Zhang Yuedong lacked confidence: "Would a foreign girl be interested in him?"

Jiang Ning was speechless: "Uncle, I think you bear the main responsibility for Zhang Yulong's current state. You can't always think your son is useless. You need to encourage him more. Otherwise, if you keep saying he's useless, where will Zhang Yulong get his confidence?"

Zhang Yuedong didn't refute, and it wasn't appropriate to argue about this with his nephew. He said, "I'm planning to go to Africa to see how the training is going."

Jiang Ning nodded; her uncle was worried about his son.

I always thought my son wasn't eating or sleeping well in Africa.

He scolded her relentlessly at home.

Once I'm out there, I worry about you.

If my uncle felt this way, I can only imagine how worried my parents must have been when I was out of contact with them for those years in Africa.

Suddenly I understood how parents feel.

Zhang Yuedong asked, "Are you coming over for dinner tonight? I'll have your aunt cook."

Jiang Ning said, "I'm not going. I have a social engagement tonight."

I went to the social event with Lao Yang that evening.

It was almost nine o'clock when I got home after the social engagement.

A mat was laid on the bedroom floor, and Feng Yu and Feng Xue were playing with their daughter.

Jiang Ning lay down on top of him and let the little guy ride on the cow.

I played for a while.

Feng Yu showed him her phone: "Look at this."

Jiang Ning glanced at them; they were dancers.

That was an amazing jump!

Jiang Ning wasn't surprised at all: "Hengda's song and dance troupe has already been exposed."

Feng Yu asked, "How did you think of your jump?"

Jiang Ning said frankly, "It's amazing, even better than the Spring Festival Gala."

Feng Yu glanced at him: "Men turn bad when they have money, why are you so honest?"

Jiang Ning replied firmly, "I only need you and my sister."

Feng Yu was very satisfied and smiled happily.

Jiang Ning thought to herself speechlessly, "Women are always emotional creatures."
