They were having a lively conversation there, and when Zheng Shuzhen and the others got home, they were still talking enthusiastically.

Hua Zhongzhi didn't understand Zheng Shuzhen's meaning and asked her, "Are you really not going to associate with the boss's side anymore?"

Zheng Shuzhen had already thought of a solution. She nodded and said, "Yes, I do feel uncomfortable. I do owe the eldest son a lot, and I can't make up for it now. So let's do as he said and bother him less. But old man, you are his father. You should visit him more often so that he knows you still care about him. As for the second son, let's figure it out ourselves."

He knew that if he wanted to ease tensions with Hua Wanjiang and make them feel that he had really changed, he had to first gain Hua Zhongzhi's approval. So he had to make his father believe in him first.

Hua Zhongzhi looked at Zheng Shuzhen and suddenly felt a little guilty. He had just been blaming his wife, but now, seeing Zheng Shuzhen's attitude, he felt truly ashamed.

"You're all bark and no bite. I know you don't mean any harm. Okay, I'll visit them more often. Once the eldest brother comes to his senses, we'll still be family, right?" Hua Chongzhi said to Zheng Shuzhen with a hint of comfort.

Although Hua Wanhe and Huo Yanping, who were standing nearby, didn't know what was going on, they believed that their mother wasn't stupid and that there must be a reason for her actions.

But after listening to his parents finish speaking, Hua Wanhe couldn't help but ask, "Father, Mother, what about me?"

Hua Zhongzhi said, "Didn't Wang Shengli say that his family has a savings account that's maturing in a few days and they can withdraw it? Why don't we borrow from him? Anyway, Linlin will be getting married in a few days. He's her own son-in-law, so he can always pay her back."

Hua Wanhe sighed: "What kind of behavior is it for a daughter to borrow money from her son-in-law before she's even married into the family? In the future, I, as the father-in-law, will have to be subservient to my son-in-law."

Zheng Shuzhen glanced at Hua Lin, who wasn't in the room, and said to Hua Wanhe and Huo Yanping, "You two keep a close eye on Linlin these next few days. She's been unhappy with this marriage. If she runs away, then..."

Hua Wanhe and Huo Yanping understood perfectly well, and quickly nodded to reassure Zheng Shuzhen, saying they would definitely keep an eye on Hua Lin.

The next day, Hua Kai's family finished harvesting their crops. Hua Kai will go back to the city first because she needs to meet with Ye Yifan to check on the factory and discuss its renovation and equipment maintenance.

Of course, Hua Kai also needs Ye Yifan to come and testify for her the day after tomorrow to rescue her good friend Li Jing.

Hua Qingyi needs to stay at home for a few more days. There's still a lot of work to be done at home, and it's too hard for his father to do it all by himself.

That evening, Hua Kai gave Gu Lan Yan the casual trench coat and trouser patterns she had drawn in her spare time, asking her mother to make them for her when she had time.

Then he also said that he could come back again the day after tomorrow, so they didn't need to worry.

Hua Kai went to bed early that night, and the next morning, she took an empty quilt from home back to the city.

Since the north-facing room of the rented house has always been empty, I need to bring my luggage if I occasionally need to stay there.

Upon arriving in the city and getting off the bus, Hua Kai carried a roll of bedding in her left hand and a roll of mattress in her right, with her schoolbag on her back. Fortunately, she didn't bring many of her books home.

However, she was quite tired after walking for a while, but fortunately she exercises regularly and her arm strength is still good.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, she finally saw the rented house. She rested for a moment, then picked up her things with all her might, intending to move them all to the rented house at once.

When she picked it up, it felt surprisingly light. Turning around, she saw a familiar face and smiled, "Captain Ye, it's you!"

Ye Yifan picked up the things and said, "I was just passing by and happened to see you."

He came back early yesterday morning. After he got back, he came to see if Huakai had returned. Although he had agreed that Huakai would call him when she got back, he still wanted to see her as soon as possible.

Then he came again yesterday at noon and in the evening, but he didn't see the flowers bloom. The lights upstairs weren't on at night either. He stood at the window without the light on for a while before leaving, because it felt like he was closer to her there.

He came over early this morning and finally saw the familiar figure. A rare smile appeared on his lips.

Hua Kai followed behind Ye Yifan: "I was thinking of getting ready so I could call you and arrange to go directly to the factory."

Ye Yifan said, "You brought so much stuff back, why didn't you call me beforehand so I could pick you up?"

"This is nothing. When I was in college... I carried corn in the fields, which was much heavier than this." Hua Kai almost said that she used to bring more luggage to college, and she carried it all herself.

Ye Yifan felt a pang of heartache when she thought of Hua Kai's thin body carrying a bag of corn: "You suffered so much when you were little. Tell me if you need any heavy work in the future."

Hua Kai smiled and said, "No need, I'm not that delicate. If you have any heavy work and can't find a boy to help you, just call me. I think I can do the work of a boy."

Ye Yifan smiled as she looked at the blooming flowers: "I really admire your personality. Even in that kind of environment, you were still so cheerful. Compared to you, I am not as good as you."

Hua Kai already knew that Ye Yifan's upbringing was unusual, but she didn't know exactly what it was like. However, she didn't want to ask directly.

So she said to Ye Yifan, "Then be my friend, and I'll make you as silly and happy as I am."

Ye Yifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I believe you."

As they talked, the two went upstairs. Hua Kai opened the door, and Ye Yifan brought the luggage into the room and helped Hua Kai unpack and make the bed.

Then I tidied up a bit, boiled some water, opened the windows to ventilate the room, and wiped down the tables, chairs, and benches, which were covered in dust.

Everything was ready, and it was almost noon, so the two of them went to eat first, and then went to the factory.

Hua Kai habitually carries a bag with her, containing paper and pens, so she can easily doodle whenever she has an inspiration.

Ye Yifan admired the habit of watching flowers bloom; it's hard for someone with talent and hard work not to excel.

The two of them didn't pick and choose a place near the school that they often went to and were familiar with. They ordered two dishes and sat by the window. It wasn't crowded during the holiday, so it was quiet and they didn't need a private room.

After dinner, we talked about the autumn harvest at home and some recent national news, all about the economy, because these things have an impact on their business. Of course, it's all a positive impact. The government is now supporting individuals and private factories, and a lot of loans have been approved, which are all good things.

After talking for a while, they went to the factory to make a plan to open before New Year's Day, produce some goods before the New Year, and take advantage of the peak season in the spring after the New Year to start production on schedule.
