After waiting a bit longer and seeing no one else coming, Feng Zhenchang, wearing a straw hat, rode his bicycle around the university district, occasionally shouting, "Candied chestnuts! Sweet and fragrant candied chestnuts!"

In this part of the university district, they had to circle around several times every day, and now they were very familiar with the area.

Mei Qiuping followed behind, introducing each school they passed to Feng Yiping. Finally, she asked Feng Yiping, "What school do you want to attend in the future?"

They were so influenced by Feng Yiping that they naturally believed their son would definitely get into university.

"Of course, the most famous one!" Feng Yiping said with a smile to his mother.

"Ha ha, yes, you must attend the most famous one." Feng Zhenchang turned his head to say.

By around 12 o'clock, they had slowly circled around once, selling a total of over seven pounds. Feng Zhenchang still parked the tricycle under that big tree, while Feng Yiping and his mother returned to their place to make lunch.

After lunch, they brought the food to Feng Zhenchang, and in the afternoon, they continued to circle around the university district until it got dark, and then the family returned home.

When they got back to their place, it was already around 8 o'clock. After a flurry of activity, by the time Feng Yiping finished washing up and went to bed, it was already around 10 o'clock.

Life repeated itself every day. Feng Yiping finally understood why Feng Zhenchang looked even thinner than before, and Mei Qiuping, who was originally a bit plump, had also slimmed down. Their daily routine was not easy.

Apart from that, Feng Zhenchang drank at least two bottles of hot water a day, which gives you an idea of how much he sweated.

At home, during the slack season, they could rest, going to bed around 8 or 9 PM and waking up around 6 or 7 AM. Now, they set up their stall every day, staying busy until around 10 PM, waking up at 5 AM, and eating poorly during the day. Being in a different place, they had no neighbors to visit. Overall, it was not easier than farming at home.

Of course, this was Feng Yiping's perspective. For Feng Zhenchang, they never thought about whether it was hard or tiring. Now, they earned at least several dozen yuan every day, and such a life gave them hope.

After a few days, everything was fine except that Feng Yiping was always short on sleep. Many times, as soon as the tricycle stopped, he found a place to take a short nap, which made Mei Qiuping feel heartache. On the last day of the month, which happened to be a Sunday, they let Feng Yiping sleep in, and he would bring them lunch after it was ready.

This sleep was truly refreshing. When Feng Yiping woke up, he didn't know what time it was. To commemorate his first natural wake-up after rebirth, he decided to stay in bed for a few more minutes.

Apart from the clanging of the train, the surroundings were very quiet. It seemed that the people living around were not at home, all out earning a living.

He heard someone shouting in the alley, "Sharpening scissors, honing knives." Looking at the clock, it was almost 10 o'clock, and he jumped out of bed.

Some things are really strange. The country has set many national standards and enforced them, but the effects are often not great. However, in some areas, there are no standards, yet the country is surprisingly uniform.

For example, in the knife-sharpening business, no matter where you are, everyone shouts the same thing, "Sharpening scissors, honing knives," in a surprisingly uniform way.

Of course, this might have something to do with Liu Huan singing "The Old Knife Sharpener" at the 1989 Spring Festival Gala.

Feng Yiping took the food and finally found Feng Zhenchang near the University of Science and Technology. There was no business now, and they were about to leave.

While eating, they praised Feng Yiping's cooking skills, and they didn't have to worry about him going hungry when he moved out next semester.

Feng Yiping and his father, Feng Zhenchang, were very different. After marriage, Feng Yiping respected his wife a lot, often buying groceries, cooking, and washing dishes, and his home-cooked dishes were quite good.

"We should stay a bit longer at the University of Finance and Economics these days," Feng Yiping suggested to his parents.

"What's the matter? Is there something there?"

"Nothing much, I just want to go in and read some books."

That was enough of a reason. "Okay, we'll stay there longer in the afternoon."

In school, you might not realize it, but if your grades are better, they are better. There won't be a classmate who suddenly becomes super lucky, writing and guessing randomly, and ends up with better grades than you.

But as we leave school and grow older, we increasingly understand that so-called "fairness" is just a legend.

You work hard, you strive, you fight, but sometimes, you will helplessly discover that what you do is not as good as others' luck.

Let's start with an example from your surroundings.

You have a colleague who, one day, out of a sudden whim, picked up trash in the office corridor, which was noticed by a superior or company leader. Without the person even knowing, this left a good impression with the leader. Since then, despite having less ability and enthusiasm than you, this person has been promoted, and now you can only look up to him. When he sees you, it's a friendly reception.

Or perhaps a colleague whose family conditions were originally worse than yours, was forced by his girlfriend's mother to buy a house. To buy the house, his family saved and struggled. However, less than a year after getting the house, it appreciated by over 20%. Now, the value of the house has multiplied several times, making it his most successful investment. The appreciation alone is equivalent to the wages you have earned through decades of hard work.

Or perhaps you and a colleague are both trading stocks. You spend every day analyzing and working hard, but after half a year, your earnings are just enough for your child's milk money. He, however, doesn't even look at the market and gets lucky by winning a lottery in a hot new stock. When the restrictions are lifted, the profit he makes is more than what you earn through hard work for a whole year.

Or perhaps you have a friend who, in terms of looks, knowledge, and ability, is inferior to you. He hasn't even held a girl's hand. But one day, the urban village where his family lives is demolished, and their self-built house is exchanged for two apartments, with an additional compensation of millions of yuan. Now, his hair is thicker than your thigh. As a result, the goddesses you could only drool over in secret immediately swarm to him like moths to a flame.

There are other examples, such as when you provide a sample to an important client. If this deal goes through, your income this year will double compared to last year. So you carefully select and repeatedly test the sample to ensure there are no problems. But when you get to the site, it won't even start, and the problem can't be quickly resolved...

And thus, hope turns into a bubble.
