Chapter 158: Chapter 34: Affection (Seeking Monthly Recommendations)_1

"Afterward?" Ma Yongming looked at Yan Fei’s ’inquisitive’ expression, unsure whether to be angry or to laugh. "The big girl in the school scrimps and saves, turning out just enough money to buy you clothes, and you don’t even feel it?"

"What feeling?" Yan Fei was puzzled.

"You spent quite a bit of money to buy her clothes, but how much money do you have? Does it hurt to spend that small amount of money? That girl spent all her savings on you. Put it this way, if I asked you to sell all the cows and land of this cow farm of yours to buy her clothes, would you be willing to?" Ma Yongming felt particularly great at this moment. He felt like he was Yan Fei’s love mentor in life, patiently explaining everything to him.

"She would never ask for such a thing, right? With this cow farm, I can earn more money in the future... I understand now, you’re saying she’s been good to me, right? She saved money for a long time, and then she bought me clothes with all of it?" Yan Fei understood halfway through speaking.

"Good that you understand. The girl is sincerely devoted to you, you should also treat her well." Ma Yongming is very ’satisfied’, it’s just a pity that he’s not old enough to stroke a white beard at this moment.

"It’s not a big deal, I would treat her this well anyway."

"All right, all right, let’s not talk about this for now. As long as you get it." Ma Yongming interrupted Yan Fei’s words, continuing to explain for him. "Take the college entrance exam for instance. In the future, if her score is one point higher, you will owe her more. Do you know the difference between the universities in Yanjing and those in our provincial city?"

"No, I really don’t know."

"Hmm, it’s hard for me to tell too. Let’s just use an analogy! It’s like this, those who go to college in Yanjing, they learn the technology to build skyscrapers, they even have the ability to build the People’s Great Hall. If you go to a college in our provincial city, you’ll learn how to build regular buildings. If you’re good, you may even be able to build a big shopping center. Do you understand now?" Ma Yongming’s explanation is very clear and straightforward.

Yan Fei couldn’t help but understand, nodded his head and asked subconsciously, "What about the colleges in our city?"

"That’s like learning how to build a residential house. If you’re good, you might be able to build a small shopping center like the one in our town!"

"What about technical secondary schools and normal universities?"

"Those can only build toilets and stove platforms?"

"What about junior high school graduates like me?"

"You..." Ma Yongming gave him a look and said lightly: "People like you? You can build anything."

"Really?" Yan Fei was first delighted, but soon felt something was off. "Why?"

"Those who have studied can read blueprints, draw blueprints, and do design work. They direct people to work. You, as a junior high school graduate, are a laborer. You’re the one being directed. They ask you to move bricks to wherever, and you just have to follow orders. So of course, you can build anything." Ma Yongming was concise in his explanation. He even took a satisfied sip of his drink after he finished speaking.

The expression on Yan Fei’s face was priceless. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Do you get it now? That girl has given up her opportunity to learn to build the Great Hall for you. She’s completely devoted to you. Just remember to treat her well in the future." Ma Yongming concluded when he saw that Yan Fei had nothing to say.

"Oh!" Yan Fei hadn’t managed to get over the ’shock’ he’d just received!

"All right, I’ve got another example for you, to help you understand it better." Ma Yongming seemed to have gotten addicted to making analogies. "Going to a university in Yanjing is like learning how to mine gold. Going to a university in the provincial city is like learning to mine silver. Going to a college is like learning how to mine iron. As for technical secondary schools and normal universities, at most they will learn how to mine coal."

"Hmm, I get it." Yan Fei finally came to his senses, feeling a mix of excitement, emotion, and other complex feelings. He was excited and moved by Xu Xiaoyan’s willingness to give up learning the skill of mining gold for his sake. He felt that it was a pity for a girl like her. However, he also remembered her words about wanting the two of them to be closer to each other.

Therefore, his emotions became increasingly complex.

Ma Yongming leisurely drank his wine, letting Yan Fei’s expression change, without saying a word.

After a while, Yan Fei came back to his senses, and just started eating his food, when Ma Yongming chuckled: "Get it now? This is what love is! What you’ve done for her are small favors. She’s given her entire life to you. If you don’t treat her well, just like she said, her life would be over, she might even just drop dead in front of you."

"Is it really that serious?" Yan Fei muttered to himself.

However, he finally understood why the girl had said those ’strange’ words in the car then. His emotions were still complex, and although he wanted to say something, he didn’t know what to say.

Ma Yongming waited for him to think for a while, noticing that he wasn’t even eating, he thought it might be too much pressure for him and changed the subject: "How come you didn’t ask me this time what you, as a first-year ’graduate,’ can mine?"

Yan Fei was thrown off by his diversion and came back to his senses, saying grumpily: "Aren’t you just trying to say that people like me are workers, letting me mine wherever I want, and I can mine anything?"

"Wrong!" Ma Yongming took another sip of wine and burst out laughing. "People like you, digging a sewage pit is still manageable."

"Me... you’re disgusting, we’re eating!" Yan Fei protested.

"Hehe!" Ma Yongming couldn’t help laughing at Yan Fei’s reaction. "In the end, didn’t you just start raising a few cows, stop going to school and begin bragging?"

"Speaking of which, have you told your parents about you two? This is a big deal, don’t take it lightly!" Ma Yongming, finally having had his fill of laughter, began to talk about serious matters again.

"Not yet, but they already know about it. We’ve just haven’t formally discussed it together." Yan Fei was disheartened by his laughter earlier, and couldn’t muster much energy.

"Then you’d better tell them as soon as possible. Talk, and get it sorted out. If you’re afraid to talk to them, have Uncle Baoguo speak for you. Once it’s discussed with your parents, hurry up and make it official. I think the girl is good, I guess your parents wouldn’t have any objections. Once things are okay with your parents, quickly find someone to propose, arrange a banquet, and settle this matter. After that, it will be perfectly okay for you two to associate with each other, and for you to support her education."

"Ah?" To tell the truth, Yan Fei had only thought that once the two of them had agreed, they could just discuss it with their parents. He hadn’t thought they had to make such a big affair about it!

"What are you ah-ing about? When you were younger, it was okay. Now you’re grown up, you can’t just let her come and go without a formal relationship, do you think that’s appropriate?" Ma Yongming didn’t mince words with him. "For such a devoted girl, it’s better to settle things early on. With your vacant look, if no one looks after you, you’re surely going to get carried away."

I could actually fly into the sky, turn into a giant pterosaur, and fly freely in the sky.

Of course, Yan Fei couldn’t say this out loud and kept it to himself.

"Hmm, finding someone to propose is a bit troublesome. That old man of her family, if he isn’t tackled well, might just ask for a hefty bride price. This matter can’t be left to your parents, they don’t know as many people on the streets as I do! If the person we find isn’t suitable, it would be even worse. We need to find someone who can handle Old Xu, or else once the old man opens his mouth, it’ll be hard to handle the rest!"

Apart from the enjoyment of the meal, Yan Fei was also overloaded with advice.

Ma Yongming was already planning the specific implementation steps for him.
