Xiao Jin was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding why Fang Chang'an asked this question.

Fang Changan said without waiting for his answer, "My family is in the countryside, called Majiagou. Our Fang surname was born in the Republic of China by our ancestors who fled from the next county alone. I should be the sixth or seventh generation. I don't remember it, and I have never pursued it."

"If you can say the words just now, you should know what happened in the Republic of China. From the timeline, it was already the industrial era when human productivity exploded, and the second industrial revolution was over."

"In China at that time, the nobles were romantic and the people were starving everywhere. My ancestors escaped to avoid starving to death. When my grandfather was born, the War of Resistance was just about to win."

"My grandfather has lived a hard life since he was born. He has not lived a good life after birth. However, because of the poor ingredients, he was criticized and criticized. My great grandfather was not in good health, so my grandfather had to help his family since he was a child, and he had to study hard while working. When I was a child, I heard him tell him that it was countless times that it was snowing. He barefoot and carried dry food on his back. It was a matter of walking more than ten miles to our town to go to school..."

"He later taught in our schools, primary and middle schools, and also served as principal. He gave birth to five children and raised them. Now he has his own families and children."

"My dad, my mom told me that they lived when they were young. They only had white flour buns during the Chinese New Year, which could be used as gifts to visit relatives, so they were reluctant to eat them. Your family gave them to my house and my family gave them to him. They were only willing to eat them when they became moldy... My mom's family lived a little harder, and the thing that impressed her most was told several times that she only had two kilograms of vegetable oil a year. After eating it for a year, she put two drops of each time... Now it is estimated that two kilograms of oil are not enough for half a month to use..."

"When my parents got married, they built three tiled houses and could afford white flour steamed buns for every meal... When I was a child, my biggest hope was to eat meat, bananas and oranges, and biscuits..."

"My dad used to gamble, so my family's financial conditions were not good in those years. When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I walked for twenty minutes to help my classmates buy buns. Because the boss would give me more money when I bought more, I wouldn't have to spend money on eating myself... My biggest hope at that time was to be able to eat every day..."

Xiao Jin, who had been listening to him in a daze, was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed indescribable, and he looked at Fang Chang'an up and down.

Fang Chang'an continued: "After I can eat, my new wish is that my father will not have to go out for thousands of miles to work, my mother will not have to go out early and come back late every day to farm alone, my brother and I can no longer sleep in the same bed, my sister can have a room of her own instead of hudging in half of the living room with her two brothers..."

"I met a noble man in junior high school. Our class teacher and her husband, well... or it could be said to be Shen Mo, because our class teacher is her aunt... In short, when I bought buns, I came up with an idea, which could specially deliver buns to the school, because the food in the cafeteria was very unpalatable... This business made money, and they gave me 30% of them. My parents used the dividends to open a shoe store and bought a house in the town..."

"Now my brother and my sister and I have their own rooms. My dad doesn't have to go out for thousands of miles to work, and my mom doesn't have to weed in the sweaty ground every day..."

"My grandfather was born in 1945, my dad was born in 1967, and I was born in 1991..."

Fang Chang'an smiled at Xiao Jin silently, "This is an ordinary rural family in the North China Plain in China. The experience of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in sixty years..."

Seeing that Xiao Jin's expression was a little dull, Fang Changan grabbed the collar of his coat and gestured at him, "This dress costs 267 yuan. When I was in elementary school, I had been driven out at least three times because I couldn't afford the tuition fee..."

"But now that nine years of compulsory education have come to our side, it seems that there is no need to pay any more."

"Last year, the agricultural tax was abolished, and my family could save another 300 or 400 yuan a year. I heard that there may be subsidies in the future."

"In the first half of this year, my parents bought three old and dilapidated houses in the suburbs of the city. They happened to be demolished and subsidized four houses..."

Fang Changan smiled again, "So why can't I love this country with confidence? Why can't I believe that China will rise again?"

"What you just made sense, so for sixty years, China is still developing and has not returned to its original position, but this rise, or development process, continues, and has not ended, and will not end... My life, my family's life, and other people like me will get better and better."

Xiao Jin stared at him, but didn't say anything for a while. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and looked at Fang Chang'an.

Fang Chang'an spread his hands, Xiao Jin withdrew his gaze and sat upright. It seemed that he had suffered a great impact, trying to accept or digest something.

Xiao Jin's family history is actually not much different from Fang Chang'an. The difference is that he "gets rich" earlier. Although his grandfather has a good ingredient, he lives a hard life every year. His ancestors have been facing the loess and back on the sky for generations. There is no evidence that he is a "Fang Xuanling" as his ancestor like Fang Chang'an, because there is no concept of family genealogy or clan at all. It seems that the only family in his family is named Xiao.

Because he couldn't have enough food at home, his grandfather went out to beg for food after a few years of reform and opening up. He really begged for food all the way. He earned some hard work and "returned home in glory". Later, he reselled things and earned some family business, which was passed on to his father. He happened to be expanded in the city and divided his family into it. His father was more active, started a water business, made some money, and started a pharmaceutical business with others. The family business gradually expanded. Now he is a businessman in some industries.

This made him one of the more enviable people among his peers since he was a child. He traveled abroad when he was not old.

He has been smart since childhood and has studied well. His parents have given him high hopes. Even his future growth route has been imagined many times: getting into a good university, then studying abroad, or studying abroad after graduating from high school, then getting a green card outside, settling down, and taking the whole family over, and living a good life in a good place... Leaving here!

My parents have mentioned this more than once. The first time I heard others talk about how it is going abroad, and who has gone to which country, and was scolded by my grandfather. At first, my father was scolded and refused to speak after being scolded, and then he traveled abroad several times. This situation gradually changed...

Now my grandfather no longer scolds me, but parents are saying, "China is not good here", "This place is not as good as abroad", "How is it like abroad", "How is it like Chinese people", "How is it like foreigners"...

As a good student who has received a complete education and has excellent academic performance from the beginning, Xiao Jin did not agree with his parents' statement at first because his parents had never read books. The teacher said, what the school taught, and what the books said in the books must be more correct than their parents... But as he grew older, he read more and more books and understood some things, and Xiao Jin was able to feel the gap more and more.

And more large irreparable and catching up under the surface gap can be called the gap.

That is something you missed and you can’t catch up with. If you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step. This gap will only widen and it will be difficult to narrow...

There is no material hard hope and desire in Xiao Jin's memory. He only needs to consider how to get his parents to agree. In most cases, parents will agree with his requests - but extending the timeline to three generations, the two families seem to have the same experience.

A passage from the textbook flashed subconsciously in his mind: "Let some people get rich first, and wealth first drive them later, and finally achieve common prosperity."

But although the experiences of three generations of the family were similar, the words Fang Changan just said were angles he had never thought about.

He pondered all the way, and when the bus stopped and got up and got out of the bus, he asked Fang Chang'an: "Did you know Shen Mo in the first day of the New Year?"

Fang Changan was stunned for a moment and looked back at him, "You have been thinking about this along the way?"

"no."

Xiao Jin denied it, "I'm just curious. Did you know Shen Mo so early?"

Before Fang Chang'an could explain, he took the initiative to say, "I have a friend who has been in love with Shen Mo since junior high school, and I asked for it for him."

Fang Changan looked him up and down suspiciously.

Xiao Jin obviously realized what he meant and explained again: "Really, his name is Wang Shuyuan, I wonder if you have heard of it."

Fang Changan thought for a while and said, "Wang Shuyuan from Class 3, Grade 2?"

"Do you know?" Xiao Jin was obviously surprised.

"I heard from Liu Xiyan."

This is when high school started, Fang Chang'an went to Shen Mo's house to explain. When he met Liu Xiyan, the names of several lovers Liu Xiyan mentioned. Fang Chang'an wrote down just in case.

As a result, there was no one with combat effectiveness... Of course, this was not their fault. I can only say that I was too excellent.

"I'm looking forward to your speech today."

Getting off the bus, Xiao Jin finished speaking, took the initiative to distance himself and walked towards a boy who got off from another bus. Fang Chang'an saw Liu Xiyan, Liu Feng, Su Xuan and Wang Panpan in the crowd there.

He waved his hand, saying hello, and Song Tang next to him also waved to Su Xuan.

This is the Yunlong International Convention and Exhibition Center, which was just opened last year. The central square is very large. Today's speech is in a lecture hall in Block B. Two groups of people quickly gathered together as they passed through the square.
