Chapter 067: Everyone needs to have dreams!
evening.
Around 5 o'clock.
Fang Hao then rode his bicycle home.
I finally managed to visit all four of my older sisters' homes after a whole day, and then I talked about borrowing money and inviting them to come over for dinner on the weekend.
After all, borrowing money is no small matter.
We definitely need to discuss that in person!
However, this time I did get 3,300 yuan of my own money from my second sister, Fang Wen.
Fang Hao originally wanted her to discuss it with her second brother-in-law Chen Gang first, but she shut him down with a few words.
Because he went there to borrow money!
Therefore, there is no reason to continue making excuses.
The most important thing is to raise enough money to buy the boat first; we can repay favors later.
When people are poor, they shouldn't care about so much empty face, especially since he's a scoundrel and has no face to speak of.
……
"Hiro!"
"You must be exhausted today?"
Chen Fenglan saw her son return.
I couldn't help but ask a question out of concern.
"Um."
"I cycled all day today."
"I must buy a motorcycle when I have the money, so I won't have to pedal by hand, otherwise my legs will be ruined..."
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
Bicycles are propelled entirely by pedaling with both feet.
Today I rode at least dozens of kilometers and visited all four of my sisters' homes.
That was really exhausting!
If it were someone older, they would be exhausted.
I couldn't help but make a plan in my mind!
I must buy a motorcycle once I earn enough money.
These days, owning a motorcycle is not only a status symbol, but also a basic necessity for getting around, making travel much simpler.
It doesn't even take half an hour to get out of town.
We absolutely have to get one!
I remember in my previous life, it was after the millennium that my family finally bought our first motorcycle.
125 is very popular in the Guinan region.
The red chassis is very eye-catching!
"You!"
"That's a nice idea."
"I'll prop my pillow up a bit tonight... I'll dream about all sorts of things, even buying a motorcycle..."
Chen Fenglan couldn't help but laugh and scold.
You have to understand that motorcycles were a luxury item in rural areas back then; they weren't something ordinary families could afford, and they were considered big-ticket items!
What are your family's living conditions like?
Fang Hao's idea was far too extravagant; even his entire savings wouldn't be enough to buy a decent motorcycle.
This is like wanting to drive a Mercedes-Benz E300 on a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan—it's a bit unrealistic.
"Mom!"
"Everyone needs to have dreams!"
"If I make money from fishing... I might even be able to buy a car and take you guys on a trip."
Fang Hao shook his head.
People today can't even imagine how fast things will develop; not only motorcycles, but even cars are entering every household.
This is a great development of our times!
Living standards have improved significantly.
In ten years, no one will even care about motorcycles anymore.
Many families with slightly better financial conditions have directly purchased cars, and foreign/joint venture car companies have become increasingly popular.
"You've been talking nonsense all day!"
"If you can live a good life... have enough to eat and wear, your father and I will be at ease. We don't need to worry about anything else."
Chen Fenglan shook her head directly.
They didn't take it seriously at all.
I wouldn't even dare to dream of earning enough money to buy a car. These days, you can't see anyone driving a car in the surrounding area.
Isn't this just wishful thinking?!
This is even more outrageous than buying a motorcycle, as mentioned earlier.
"..."
Fang Hao shook his head.
They didn't say anything more.
After all, no one would dare to imagine it.
We haven't even truly solved the problem of meat freedom in our daily meals, so how can we dare to dream of luxury items like motorcycles and cars?
That's simply not realistic.
Many people wouldn't even dare to think about it.
These things only exist in TV dramas and belong only to the wealthy and powerful elite.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to have any ideas!
They were just hoping that one day they would be able to eat their fill, drink their fill, and stay warm.
"Oh, right."
"What did your sister and the others say?"
Chen Fenglan then asked about the important matter.
After all, Fang Hao needs to borrow money from his four daughters, and he doesn't know what the current situation is.
Can I borrow it?
And how much money can I borrow?
"I've already told them."
"Let them discuss it with their brothers-in-law first."
"Come over for dinner tomorrow, it's the weekend, and we can chat some more... But my second sister gave me 3,300 yuan directly, saying it was her secret stash."
Fang Hao said in a deep voice.
I've visited all four of my older sisters' homes.
They all agreed to lend me money!
The eldest sister, Fang Hui, said she wanted to borrow several thousand, the second sister, Fang Wen, immediately took out three thousand three, the third sister, Fang Ting, said she wanted to borrow two thousand, and the fourth sister, Fang Jing, said one thousand.
It adds up to more than ten thousand.
In addition, there was more than 10,000 yuan that I had on hand.
That should be enough to buy my uncle's boat.
He could slowly pay back his four older sisters after he went out to sea to catch fish and sell them. Otherwise, if he had to rely on himself to set traps to earn money and save up to buy a boat, it would take forever to raise enough.
Sometimes things need to be done quickly!
We definitely need to find a way to do that first!
It's unrealistic to expect someone to accomplish everything on their own; that would likely lead to missing opportunities.
"Hiro!"
"You also owe a lot to your older sisters who have taken care of you. They have helped you a lot all along, and you should remember their kindness..."
Chen Fenglan couldn't help but say.
You know, her four daughters have always doted on their son, and they are practically like a mother to him. She also hopes that Fang Hao will remember their help.
After all, no one can be selfless forever.
When my husband and I grow old and are no longer around, we may not be as dedicated as we are now.
It's not that the daughters will change!
Rather, without the parental relationship as a bridge, family ties can easily become distant.
For example, when Fang Dajun and Chen Fenglan were still alive, it was impossible for the four brothers-in-law not to visit their father-in-law's family during holidays. But if they were no longer alive, they might not visit their brother-in-law's family.
"Um."
"Know."
Fang Hao nodded.
He took it all for granted in his past life.
They feel that the sacrifices made by their parents and relatives are their due, and they don't know how to be grateful or give back at all.
It took me most of my life to realize this.
That's life!
Some people understand this a little later.
……
"Wife!"
Just at this time.
Song Yaxin also came out of the house.
Fang Hao shouted with a smile.
"Um."
Song Yaxin nodded.
Fang Hao had originally said he would take her with him.
She just felt that riding such a long distance would be too tiring for Fang Hao, so she didn't go with him.
"Wife."
"Take this money first."
"Borrowed from my second sister."
Fang Hao took out a small wad of cash from his bag.
Then it was handed directly to Song Yaxin.
After all, she was in charge of keeping most of the family's money, so the money that was borrowed back was naturally put together as well.
"Second sister borrowed so much?"
Song Yaxin was somewhat surprised.
Once again, I felt the care and doting that Fang Hao's four older sisters had for their younger brother.
You should know that this is a lot of money.
For an average family, it might take two years to work.
Under normal circumstances, it's not easy to borrow three to five thousand yuan from someone.
