Feng Haidong lived an unremarkable life and passed away peacefully. After his death, he found himself back in 1996.
Now in his prime at the age of thirty, Feng Haidong resolves to try just a ...
Because the advertising project at the liquor market ended, Feng Haidong no longer needed to go grocery shopping with Sun Yongxing in the morning to cook lunch for Tang Anguo and the others.
So Feng Haidong resumed his old routine of going to the factory every morning to clock in.
This was done to give face to the factory director, Mr. Nian.
Secondly, Feng Haidong also wanted to learn more about the factory's dynamics.
So every morning, Feng Haidong needs to ride his bicycle to the factory.
Because Feng Haidong also needs to go to the factory, he will send his son and niece to Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia's house in the morning.
Then Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia took the three children to Feng Haidong's parents-in-law's house.
This way, the three children will be taken care of in the morning.
Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia can go to the crayfish restaurant in the morning to receive the crayfish delivered.
This arrangement is designed to allow adults to concentrate on their work.
As for the children? They were also happy with this arrangement because they had friends to play with.
That morning, Feng Haidong pushed his bicycle and went out with his wife and two children.
Arriving at Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia's building, I watched as their son led his sister upstairs.
They waited until the children reached the door before hearing Lu Yue call out to them, "Auntie, Uncle, we're coming in! You'd better hurry to work, and be careful on your way."
Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling both smiled and replied in unison, "Okay, we're leaving."
Lu Wanling added, "Yueyue, be a good girl and listen to me. Fanfan, remember to do your homework."
The two children upstairs responded in unison, "Okay."
Feng Haidong said, "Fanfan, you are the older brother, so you have to take good care of your younger sisters. When your uncle and aunt take you out, you must keep an eye on your younger sisters."
Feng Qifan said, "Dad, I know."
Yang Chengjian called out from upstairs, "Brother Feng, don't worry."
Dong Xia chimed in, "Yes, yes, Brother Feng, Sister Lu, don't worry."
Feng Haidong responded with a smile: "Don't worry, of course we don't worry. You guys be careful too. We're leaving now."
The three children upstairs said in unison, "Bye-bye."
Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling waved goodbye downstairs and walked together out of the family compound.
Other neighbors in the residential compound greeted the couple with smiles.
"Haidong and Wanling, are you leaving for work?"
"Why is Haidong still going to work? Isn't your business quite successful?"
"Yes, I saw Haidong on TV just a few days ago."
"Yes, Haidong, you look quite photogenic on TV."
Hearing his neighbors' comments, Feng Haidong replied with a smile, "Business is business, but I still have to go to work. Even though there's no work to do at the factory right now, I can't skip work."
The neighbors all burst into laughter, thinking that Feng Haidong was just joking.
After Feng Haidong rode away with his wife, the neighbors would whisper and gossip behind his back.
"Feng Haidong is really something. His restaurant is so profitable, but he still works in a factory now."
"That's what it means to make money. You can earn a salary without missing out on business and still make money."
"That's why I say, that couple is really something."
"You can't envy that; you can only say that they have the guts to do it."
"That's right, they have the guts and the ability, that's why they can make money."
"I wonder how much money Feng Haidong can make?"
"It must be quite a lot, otherwise how could he afford to hire Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia, a married couple, to work for him?"
"Looks like I should also think about finding a business to start."
Other neighbors also nodded in agreement, secretly wondering if they should start a business together.
Feng Haidong still rode his bicycle to take his wife to the station and even stayed with her at the bus stop while she waited for the bus.
While waiting for the car, Feng Haidong instructed his wife, "Go and tell Uncle Ding today that we're applying to move to another city to set up a winery. Then we'll pack up, and you can take the kids to your parents' place."
Lu Wanling said, "I know, aren't you being long-winded? You've said these things so many times."
Feng Haidong said, "Wasn't it because I was afraid you'd be embarrassed to bring it up?"
Lu Wanling said, "Oh dear, actually, I can hide for a while by following Aunt Du's method. I'll be fine as long as I'm careful."
Feng Haidong said, "It's better to be careful. You must have a lot of things to do at the unit. What if something happens? You should take the child back to your parents' place. With your parents and older sister taking care of you, I'll feel at ease and I can work more freely."
Lu Wanling looked at her husband and asked, "How do you plan to let go and do things freely?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's a secret for now. I'll definitely tell you when it's finished."
Lu Wanling curled her lip: "Hmph, all you know is how to play these mysterious games."
Feng Haidong said, "Don't be angry. Life needs a little romance, and it's more interesting to keep a little bit of mystery."
Just then, the bus arrived, and Lu Wanling said, "Okay, okay, you're always right. I'm getting on the bus. Remember to ride your bike slowly to the factory."
Feng Haidong replied, "I know."
Feng Haidong waited until his wife was seated on the bus and watched it leave the station before riding his bicycle to the factory.
While Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling were busy at their respective workplaces.
Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia also got ready and led the three children out, first taking them to Feng Qifan's maternal grandparents' house as usual.
However, today was different when Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia took the children to their destination.
The three children, hand in hand, rushed into the house, only to immediately sense that something was amiss at their grandparents' house.
