Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

What happened next was exactly as Yu Fei had predicted. His grandfather obtained the contract for the large orchard without any surprise. Moreover, in the afternoon, Secretary Ma Xiaoyun of Yunwu Village personally came to his door to talk to him.

When Secretary Ma met Yu Fei, he was very kind and caring, treating Yu Fei like his own son or nephew.

Yu Fei also pretended to be a student, calling him "Uncle Ma" very affectionately.

In fact, as someone who had been through it all, how could Yu Fei not understand the ingratiating smile that Ma Xiaoyun wore?

It is said that when you are poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; but when you are rich, distant relatives come to visit even in the deep mountains.

Ever since Yu Fei's mother, Fang Yun, transformed from an ordinary teacher into an official in the education bureau, the attitudes of some people in the village have subtly changed.

In recent years, after Fang Yun was promoted to the position of deputy director of the Linxian County Education Bureau, the attitude of the village cadres towards the Fang family changed drastically.

Whenever there are any benefits or advantages in the village, the Fang family is the first choice to be thought of without them having to specifically mention it. Ma Xiaoyun, who already had a good relationship with Fang Jianguo, has become even more attentive in recent years, visiting Yu Fei's home in the county town every year to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, Yu Fei is quite familiar with Secretary Ma Xiaoyun.

As the saying goes, "When a person leaves, the tea cools," and it is in the period between losing power and gaining power that one's true nature is most clearly revealed.

After Yu Fei's mother suffered a major setback in her official career in her previous life, Ma Xiaoyun never visited Yu Fei's family to pay New Year's respects again.

There are actually too many people like this in the world. Yu Fei had spent twenty years in the business world in his previous life and had long been used to their true colors.

However, despite his contempt for people like Ma Xiaoyun, Yu Fei had to consider an extremely important issue.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

Money and profit are eternal themes in life.

If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

Yu Fei knew very well that if he wanted to pursue a happy and fulfilling life, a primary factor was having enough money.

As the saying goes, poverty diminishes ambition. In this era, a young man like him didn't even have a hundred yuan in pocket money, not even enough for a meal at a hotel, let alone for anything more important.

So Yu Fei smiled. Although his rebirth wasn't as amazing as some protagonists in novels, he was fortunate to have accumulated a lot of money-making experience in his previous life. More importantly, some of his memories allowed him to easily earn his first pot of gold.

Perhaps it's time for me to take action sooner rather than later.

Yu Fei had a lot of fun playing the English speaking game with his aunt in the afternoon.

Fang Yi never imagined that Yu Fei's spoken English was so much better than she had thought.

This was actually the result of Yu Fei deliberately hiding it, otherwise he was afraid that his aunt would become suspicious.

Yu Fei's spoken English was very poor when he was in junior high school. It only improved when his aunt forced him to learn spoken English in high school. Then, during his entrepreneurial period, he had the opportunity to communicate with foreign businessmen in person, and his spoken English improved by leaps and bounds.

That evening, Yu Fei ate wheat noodle soup, which was made by his grandmother Chen Mei herself, using very wide noodles.

After cooking and serving, pour scallion oil and shredded meat over it, then top with two golden fried eggs. The fragrant aroma is simply divine.

In this era, almost everything is genuine, and the livestock industry rarely adds hormones. There are very few unscrupulous merchants who try to manipulate food quality.

Not to mention the wheat they grew themselves, the flour they ground themselves, and the eggs they laid themselves. Of course, there were no additives or hormones. The taste of the flour, the eggs, and even the vegetables and scallions were completely different from what they bought in the market in later generations.

In the evening, Yu Fei chatted happily with his grandparents while enjoying the cool air, and then his aunt called him to learn the ukulele.

Yu Fei found it somewhat amusing; it seemed his aunt was even more concerned than he was.

That evening, Fang Yi taught Yu Fei some basic music theory.

What used to be irritating to Yu Fei has now strangely become surprisingly endearing to him, thanks to his changed attitude towards music, and he has mastered it with ease and pleasure.

Being able to come in first place year after year, while inseparable from hard work, also proves one thing: Yu Fei's memory is definitely not bad.

In fact, Yu Fei's memory is not only not bad, but it is quite good. After this rebirth, he feels that his memory is even better than before.

As for why this happened, he didn't know either. Anyway, it was a good thing that his memory had improved, so he didn't need to delve into it.

……

The next morning, the sky was clear and blue, a perfect sunny day.

At six o'clock sharp, Yu Fei appeared on time at the pavilion at the foot of Fairy Peak.

However, when he arrived, the beautiful Zhou Meihua was already waiting there, eagerly anticipating his arrival.

Yu Fei recalled the beautiful dream he had last night, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Yu Fei, are you happy to make people wait for you?" Zhou Meihua pouted.

Even when she's angry, she's still so adorable that Yu Fei really wants to go up and kiss her.

However, he knew he couldn't act recklessly, so he immediately stopped smiling and sincerely apologized, "Zhou Meihua, I'm sorry. We agreed that I would wait for you, but it turned out that you were waiting for me. I'm really sorry. As for my smile just now, it was because I was very happy to see that you actually came."

Girls are reserved and proud. They prefer boys to wait for them rather than waiting for them. Therefore, some people in later generations said that a girl's lateness for a date is related to her appearance. The more beautiful the girl, the longer she is likely to be late.

Of course, this was a joke.

Just like Zhou Meihua, who is very beautiful but never late, she is very punctual and will show up at the exact time she says she will.

"Alright, since you were so sincere, I won't hold it against you for being late." Hearing Yu Fei's apology, Zhou Meihua couldn't help but smile. She wasn't really angry; her earlier demeanor was just a display of girlish modesty.

"Thank you for your understanding. Let's go then." Yu Fei understood Zhou Meihua's thoughts perfectly, so he didn't say anything more. Anyway, the two of them would have plenty of time to talk along the way up the mountain.

After passing the section at the foot of the mountain, the two officially began their ascent of Fairy Peak.

At this point, Yu Fei also took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Zhou Meihua, what did you do at Grandma's house yesterday? Tell me about anything interesting that happened?"

"I didn't do anything, it was very boring, I just studied for most of the day."

"Didn't you draw?"

"I drew a picture last night, but it was so bad that it couldn't compare to yours. I found that my confidence was severely damaged. It's all because you drew so well!"

Her words that followed had a slightly coquettish tone, which really touched Yu Fei's heart, giving him an inexplicable urge to hold her in his arms.

Fortunately, Yu Fei is of middle age and has strong self-control, which allowed him to control his impulse. Otherwise, the consequences of the hug would have been unimaginable. After all, although Zhou Meihua had feelings for him, they were definitely not at the level where a hug would be appropriate. Moreover, she was relatively reserved and conservative. A hug might have ended the hike prematurely, which would have been a loss.

"From what you've said, I've made a huge mistake, Zhou Meihua. How can I possibly mend your wounded heart?" Yu Fei asked with a smile.

“Of course, you’ll teach me to draw.” Zhou Meihua blurted out, but immediately felt that she had been too unreserved and blushed.

“Teaching you to draw is no problem, but I have a question for you.”

"what is the problem?"

"You like singing and you also like drawing. If you could only choose one, what would you choose?"

Zhou Meihua frowned and said, "Can't we choose both?"

Yu Fei said, "Of course you can. But you have to know that a person's life is short and a person's energy is limited. Only by putting your energy and time into what you love most can you achieve the greatest success."

Zhou Mei seemed to understand something, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Then I'll choose singing."

"why?"

"Because compared to painting, I prefer singing. I like the way people listen to me when I sing, and I also admire the charisma of those big stars singing on dazzling stages on TV. I think if one day I could also stand on such a stage, I would be very happy."
