Yang Fenglin also came here to broaden his horizons. Although he was born in Yancheng, he grew up during that period of crisis. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, the general trend was frugality and thrift. If he went to a restaurant more than twice a month, he would be scolded when he got home.

"When I first came here with Teacher Jian two years ago, this place wasn't even considered a rural-urban fringe area. But it's developed very quickly. It's open to the outside world, so you can imagine how wonderful the outside world is. This place was also one of the first to allow private businesses. Yancheng only recently allowed us to get licenses. We have money and goods, but it's very chaotic now. Since you're a newcomer, it's best to be careful."

Shen Heng thought Yang Fenglin was a simple-minded person, so he gave him a few words of advice: don't let anyone fool you, this kid has money, and he can really afford to be cheated.

Yang Fenglin was still laughing: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I'm a soldier, after all. If any fool dares to mess with me, I'll take him down."

Shen Heng glanced at him, unsure of what to say.

“I was planning to take you to a restaurant around here for dinner tonight, but your sister is still asleep. How about we get some takeout?” Shen Heng said.

"No, it's no fun bringing back packed food, brother-in-law. Let's wait for my sister. It's okay, I can handle the hunger."

Shen Heng: "..."

His main goal was to ensure Bai Jiaojiao could eat as soon as she woke up; otherwise, getting ready and then going over would take up a lot of time.

However, seeing Yang Fenglin's excited expression, Shen Heng could only nod and say, "Then let's wait a little longer. I'm going back."

It's incredibly hot right now. Shen Heng feels it's cooler inside, while the ground outside is scorching hot from being baked during the day and is still emitting heat.

He was too lazy to coax the child; going back to his room to watch Bai Jiaojiao sleep was more interesting than this.

Shen Heng returned to his room, and Bai Jiaojiao was awakened by the sound of him opening the door.

"Ha—" Bai Jiaojiao let out a long yawn, opened her eyes and saw Shen Heng, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it now?"

"It's already six o'clock, have you had enough sleep?"

Shen Heng smiled and lay down beside Bai Jiaojiao's bed, pinching Bai Jiaojiao's nose.

Bai Jiaojiao was a little dazed when she heard this; she had actually slept soundly for the entire afternoon.

"You didn't even call me."

If they don't wake up soon, it will be almost dark.

Shen Heng said, "I was worried you weren't getting enough sleep. Are you hungry? Let me take you out to eat."

"good."

Bai Jiaojiao touched her belly and felt that it was indeed a little deflated. As she got up, she said, "I was so scared when I heard what Shunzi said. I didn't bring anything with me, and I just grabbed whatever clothes I could find."

"I'll take you shopping tomorrow. The clothes here have a much wider variety than those in Yancheng. You can buy as many as you want."

Shen Heng, wealthy and powerful, stood to one side with his hands on his hips.

Bai Jiaojiao asked, "Where's Shunzi? I haven't seen him."

“He went back first, and someone had to pick up our goods. We used to go back by ship, but this time it was a special case. I wanted to talk to the bosses and learn from their experience, and also check out the market, so Shunzi and I stayed an extra day. We thought the train would be faster than the ship and we'd have enough time, but who knew something would go wrong.”

Bai Jiaojiao combed her hair in front of the mirror: "Alright, let's go. Heng-ge, I really am hungry."

Bai Jiaojiao's little face looked pitiful, and Shen Heng pinched her and kissed her: "I'll let you eat something before you sleep, you'll ruin your stomach if you keep starving like this."

Shen Heng strongly suspected that Bai Jiaojiao had woken up because she was hungry.

Yang Fenglin smoked two cigarettes outside and was about to return to his room when he saw Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao come out together.

"Sis, you're awake! My brother-in-law couldn't bear to wake you, and I almost starved to death."

Yang Fenglin exaggerated, which made Bai Jiaojiao very embarrassed.

"Let's go quickly." Shen Heng glanced at Yang Fenglin, who smiled and said nothing more.

He took the two to a newly opened private restaurant. The restaurant was decorated in a very chic style, with exquisite furnishings and soothing music. There was no such place in Yancheng. Yang Fenglin's eyes widened involuntarily as soon as he entered.

Shen Heng said, "This is a place that Shunzi and I just found. It probably just opened in the last couple of days. We ate there once and the food was alright."

When a new store opens, of course we have to put in our best effort to do our best.

Wang Fushun, that stingy fellow, thought the place was expensive, but when Shen Heng offered to treat them, they almost ended up eating two meals in one.
