Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The more ignorant a person is, the more they engage in wishful thinking.

Although Wang Zhanggen is a rural person, ever since he returned from working outside in his youth and joined the masonry trade, he hasn't done farm work again.

He actually thinks managing a farm is easy!

Little does he know that so many chickens, so many fruit trees, such a large pond — none of them are easy to manage!

Especially the chickens, they need to be fed every day, and you have to guard against chicken plague, guard against weasels from the mountain coming to steal chickens.

And the fruit trees also need pest and disease control, weeding, pruning, and so on.

Seeing Wang Zhanggen so firmly assured, Wang Erhai immediately felt a thump in his heart, a bad premonition rising.

As Wang Zhanggen's biological son, Wang Erhai knows Wang Zhanggen's character better than anyone!

This old man, the more he states something firmly, the less he can be believed.

But right now Wang Erhai is really too busy, he truly can't attend to that much.

So in the end he could only repeatedly instruct his mother Li Xiulan a few more sentences, having Li Xiulan take charge of the farm's affairs, while Wang Zhanggen just helps as an assistant.

Li Xiulan, on the other hand, is quite reverent; she knows a farm that big definitely won't be easy to handle. Back when she managed a tiny village entrance small shop, she was exhausted to death, let alone such a large farm?

So she listened seriously to Wang Erhai's instructions.

"Erhai, I'll just try first; if I really can't manage it, later we'll probably still need you to go hire a professional to manage the farm."

After listening to Wang Erhai's instructions, Li Xiulan said this one sentence.

Wang Erhai then said:

"Alright, you just try handling it first; if there's anything you don't understand, ask me; if it really doesn't work, I'll hire someone to look after it."

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face and said:

"What's there that can't be done? Isn't it just farm work? Any rural person can do it!"

Li Xiulan gave a cold humph and questioned him:

"All these years, have you done farm work? You have the nerve to say such things!"

Wang Zhanggen was made to lose face by Li Xiulan's words and immediately retorted:

"Who says I haven't done farm work? Have you forgotten? Back when you were bullied by Yang Dafu, I came back from the city to the countryside and did farm work for a period; it's just that later I went out to work again!"

"Right right right, you did do farm work, but that was twenty-plus years ago!" Li Xiulan said angrily: "Later you came back to the countryside to do masonry, you haven't touched farm work at all, okay? Forget farm work, you haven't even done housework. Ask you to help feed a chicken, you'd say just kill the chicken! Ask you to help wash a bowl, you pretend to be deaf and don't hear!"

Wang Zhanggen still argued confidently and shamelessly:

"How can that be the same? How can a grown man do housework! Farm work is different; it's originally what us grown men do!"

Li Xiulan said angrily:

"Then fine, you go manage the farm tomorrow, I'll see how much work you can do in a day!"

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"That won't do; tomorrow I have to go to town to buy a pack of cigarettes, and conveniently buy some tofu to bring back!"

Li Xiulan had nothing to say.

Because she knew, the more she spoke with Wang Zhanggen, the angrier she'd get.

She still wants to live a few more years; she doesn't want to be angered to death by Wang Zhanggen!

So she ultimately decided: tomorrow she'll go to the farm to work herself; as for Wang Zhanggen, whether he works or not, it's up to him!

That evening, Wang Erhai ate dinner at home, then went to the county town.

Just as he returned to Zhang Yueran's house in the county town, Zhang Yueran pulled Wang Erhai and said:

"I have something to tell you, very important!"

"What is it?"

Wang Erhai was somewhat baffled.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"I don't plan to hold a wedding banquet; we'll just get the certificate on March 14th and be done with it. When summer vacation comes, you take a long leave again, and we'll go on a self-driving tour together. What do you think?"

Wang Erhai couldn't help but stare blankly, somewhat surprised:

"Do your parents agree? You're their only daughter."

Zhang Yueran then said:

"I've talked to them, they agreed. Now it depends on your side. You go talk to your parents."

Wang Erhai, however, found it a bit difficult. His mother is easy to talk to, but his father, this old stick-in-the-mud, isn't easy to talk to.

Most importantly, his father cares dead much about face; he'll probably think that a wedding without a banquet doesn't count as a wedding.

But Wang Erhai still said to Zhang Yueran:

"Since you don't want a banquet, then we won't have one."

Actually, Wang Erhai doesn't want a banquet either.

Back when he married Liu Meiqi, they made it so grand and spectacular, yet in the end it still ended in divorce?

So whether two people live happily or not has absolutely no relationship with how beautiful the wedding is!

Instead, there are quite a few people who quarrel incessantly over wedding matters, even part ways because of wedding matters!

As for his parents' side, he's already thought of an excuse.

His third brother got married without a banquet; so this time he won't have one either.

If Wang Zhanggen isn't willing, then let him be unwilling!

Anyway, this matter he'll definitely decide himself; he's not a child anymore.

Zhang Yueran, however, said:

"You need to communicate properly with your parents; I don't want to create conflict with them because of this matter."

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly in his heart; the words 'communicate' — how could it be easy?

But he still agreed to Zhang Yueran:

"Fine, later I'll tell my parents; you don't need to worry about this."

Zhang Yueran couldn't help but hug Wang Erhai:

"Husband, you're so good!"

Then asked:

"Do you have any place you want to go? We need to start planning the travel route; hope the two months of summer vacation can let us walk through the majority of cities across the country!"

Wang Erhai thought for a bit, discovering he fundamentally didn't have any place he wanted to go.

He'd lived until now, aside from being tricked by Yang Xiaoxiong to Guangxi to do a pyramid scheme that time, he still hadn't left his home province.

When he was seventeen or eighteen, he'd thought about wandering the world with a sword.

But now he single-mindedly only wants to build a career; as for travel, honestly, he doesn't have much interest anymore.

"What about you, where do you want to go? Where you want to go is where I want to go."

In the end Wang Erhai replied with this one sentence.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"I want to go to Yunnan to see Dianchi, go to Guizhou to see Huangguoshu Waterfall, go to Sichuan to see Giant Pandas, then go to Tibet to see Potala Palace, go to Xinjiang Flaming Mountain, then go to Inner Mongolia's Grassland to ride horses, go to Beijing Tiananmen, go to Mohe to see Aurora; the places I want to go are too many!"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Then fine, then we'll go!"

Zhang Yueran hearing this, smiled brilliantly:

"Really?"

Wang Erhai then said:

"Of course it's real, but I have a few conditions."

"What conditions?"

"First, I'm afraid I can't take two months of leave that long; at most I can only take one month off. You also know, the company side is very busy."

Zhang Yueran immediately sighed:

"Alright then, then we'll just travel for one month."

Wang Erhai said again:

"Second, I don't want to drive for a self-driving tour; one is it's very tiring, two is driving isn't as fast as taking high-speed rail or plane; if driving, we probably won't make it to many cities; to try to run to more cities, we have to take high-speed rail and plane."

Zhang Yueran thought for a bit:

"This also works; then we won't drive; I just want to stroll through as many cities as possible!"

Wang Erhai said again:

"Third, the travel guide you have to make; I don't have that energy to mess with this!"

Zhang Yueran then said:

"I can make the guide, but I also have one requirement."

"What requirement?"

"The guide I make, you have to follow it; don't get halfway and say this isn't right that isn't right."

Wang Erhai laughed:

"Rest assured, even if the guide you make is terrible, I won't say a single word of complaint!"

Zhang Yueran then said:

"This is what you said, then it's settled like this!"
