Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

late at night.

The lights were off in every household in the entire village, and all was quiet.

Only the small hill where Chen Jianji's family lived started to get busy.

The chicken farm was brightly lit.

The clean and tidy chicken coop has been partitioned.

"Mom and Dad, why didn't you hire someone to help us get chicks tonight?"

"Where's Uncle Zhang?"

Chen Jianji took the last box of chicks, stacked them up, and then quickly pushed them into the innermost chicken coop.

Chen Guochang also followed behind to help steady the object.

"It's so late, we shouldn't bother them. This batch isn't much, only five thousand. I figure it'll be enough for your mother and me."

"Besides, aren't you back now?"

Hearing this...

Chen Jianji rolled his eyes.

"What if I don't come back?"

"You two gritted your teeth and finished it yourselves again, huh? If you save money and ruin your health, you'll have to spend even more on medical treatment later!"

He glanced back at Wang Suling, who was in the distance reconciling accounts with the clerk of the breeding company.

Chen Jianji thought about the first predicament his family would face in the future.

It was the collapse of this breeding company.

At that time, the family relied entirely on the company that bought chickens, but it went bankrupt one day.

Tens of thousands of chickens went unclaimed, and the daily feed costs were staggering.

"Dad, have you ever thought that after these chicks are raised to adulthood, the company will buy them back, and the profit will only be a few dollars per chick? They'll just supply them to restaurants anyway."

"If we supply restaurants, businesses, and factory canteens, our profits could more than double."

"Moreover, relying entirely on the company is too risky. If the company stops accepting payments, we will lose our source of income."

Chen Guochang squatted down on the ground, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then threw it on the ground.

He took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

"Renmin University is not going to collapse so easily."

"Forget about it. The contract I signed with the company states that I can't sell it privately."

"Besides, every household in the village raises its own chickens, and restaurants and farms also have their own stable supply chains."

"Whenever a neighbor does a good deed, or when a woman is in postpartum confinement, they ask me for some things. They give me a big red envelope and that's it. It doesn't count as selling."

Chan Kin-kee continued.

"That's not quite right. The news has reported that even listed companies can run away with investors' money."

"I know about the contract you mentioned, but it states that the chickens were fed with the company's vaccines and feed."

"Don't we raise some animals for our own consumption in the back mountains? Those aren't the company's responsibility. Besides, if you're really worried about the contract, it's signed with your and Mom's names."

"I don't have any restrictions. Don't forget, I'm an adult now."

Chen Guochang paused, holding the cigarette, as if he had taken his words to heart.

"Um..."

"So what do you want to do?"

Chen Jianji pondered carefully, as many of the procedures were not convenient to explain in detail.

However, the initial planning and direction are clear.

"The company will continue raising them. Ask Uncle Zhang and others to help keep an eye on them. Increase the number of chickens raised on the back hill. Don't worry about not being able to sell them. Chickens that are two a year old make better soup and sell for a higher price."

"Before that, you can keep an eye on those channels for restaurants. I can go out and promote in the city on weekends. When we get orders, we can borrow a van and make a few deliveries to break even."

"Once the volume gets big enough, we'll buy a pickup truck and transport the goods to the county town in batches."

"When the chicken coop is renovated and automated, Uncle Zhang and the others can take care of it. You just need to keep an eye on the overall situation and reconcile the internal and external accounts."

Chen Jianji spoke very clearly and in a down-to-earth manner, and even had a simple vision for the future.

Chen Guochang listened blankly, and gradually began to ponder.

As Chen Jianji spoke, a look of eagerness appeared on his face.

For a moment, he also felt a little itchy to try it.

He subconsciously picked up the cigarette pack from the ground and took one out.

"Dad, give me a lighter."

Chen Guochang was still deep in thought, and he felt it was increasingly feasible.

Firstly, it allows us to continue cooperating with the breeding company, and secondly, it allows us to expand our channels.

Until footsteps were heard.

A figure stopped in front of them.

Chen Guochang looked up and saw Wang Suling.

He was just about to bring up his son's suggestion.

But next second.

Wang Suling suddenly stretched out her hands.

He grabbed one ear with each hand.

"hiss!!"

Chen Guochang and Chen Jianji both gasped at almost the same time.

"Mom!! It hurts!!"

The unlit cigarette in Chen Jianji's mouth fell to the ground.

Wang Suling cursed loudly.

"Huh? You still feel pain."

"You know that, yet you still dare to smoke? You only learn bad habits and not good ones!"

At this moment, Chen Guochang also realized what was happening, and he glared at Chen Jianji.

"You brat, you smoke?!"

"I'll beat you up!"

As he spoke, he was about to raise his hand.

My ear was twisted hard again.

Wang Suling's voice rang out again.

"What are you pretending for? I clearly saw you give the lighter to Jianji when I walked over just now."

"I told you to quit smoking but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened! My son's started smoking at school, and judging by how familiar he is with it, he's probably been secretly smoking there for ages!"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji was startled and quickly waved his hand.

"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! I didn't touch it at all at school!"

Wang Suling said impatiently, "Go back and take a shower and go to bed. Go back to school right after dinner tomorrow! Staying at home will only make you and your dad go astray!"

"oh!"

Chen Jianji wiped the sweat from his face and gave Chen Guochang a "good luck" look.

Then he quickly left the scene.

"Um... I'll go and have a good talk with this kid, he needs to learn his lesson!"

Chen Guochang looked serious and had just gotten up to leave.

But Wang Suling just snorted coldly.

"stop!"

"Adults are role models for children, don't you understand?"

"I think we need to teach you a lesson!"

"Teaching him to ride a motorcycle a couple of years ago was one thing, but now you dare to offer cigarettes to my son? I think you're asking for trouble!"

......

When Chen Jianji returned to his courtyard.

A scream seemed to come from the chicken coop on the back hill.

Chen Jianji shrank his neck and took his clothes down from the clothesline.

He quickly slipped into the bathroom of the bungalow and began to wash up.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

My parents came back too.

After quickly taking a shower, Chen Jianji tiptoed back to his room, still covered in steam.

He had just closed the door when he didn't leave.

I leaned against the door and peered out through the crack.

I saw Chen Guochang sitting in a chair, shirtless.

Wang Suling was rummaging through her medicine box, taking out several plasters and applying them to his back.

Chen Jianji saw it all.

It turns out that Dad's health had started to deteriorate.

Chen Jianji's eyes darkened.

I feel a little regretful, regretting that I didn't remember more things in my previous life.

For example, e-commerce.

In my previous life, I often saw people making a lot of money through e-commerce.

All you need is a person and a computer to easily make money by riding the wave of opportunity.

Unlike my parents, I don't have to work hard and sweat for every penny.

But Chan Kin-kei didn't understand, and didn't even know how it started.

Fortunately, he has already given his dad advice.

I believe that things will improve at home soon, saving us from some detours.

As for myself...

He now has an even more important task ahead of him.

That is the high school entrance examination.

Chen Jianji dared not even dream of getting into Tsinghua University, but if he could get into a top-tier university...

My parents will be very happy, right?

It's a way of giving them face.

Chen Jianji's expression was firm, and he stopped thinking about it.

It's late now, so I need to get some rest so I can go back to school tomorrow and start studying seriously.

Chen Jianji turned around, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed.

Just as I was about to reach over to turn off the light switch by the bed...

But then I noticed that the zipper of the backpack on the bedside table wasn't fully zipped up, revealing a section of a beautifully patterned diary.

Chen Jianji paused slightly as he suddenly remembered what he had seen on the screen last night.

It was by some strange twist of fate.

Instead of turning off the light, he took his diary out of his schoolbag.

He stroked the cover for a while before slowly opening it.

The first page is blank.

Chen Jianji subconsciously turned to the second page.

It remains blank.

Chen Jianji was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"I was saying how could that be? It seems that Lin Qingxue really put too much mental pressure on him."

He shook his head, just as he was about to close his diary, turn off the light, and go to sleep.

Available in the next second.

Chen Jianji froze.

On the diary, the originally blank pages gradually began to appear with words.

......
