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 ...
Feng Haidong's return made the whole family very happy.
He and Fang Jianxing went on this trip for more than 20 days.
However, everything that needed to be done has been done.
On this trip back, Feng Haidong also bought gifts for his family.
Even though her brother-in-law didn't have much money with him, Feng Haidong still paid for gifts for her sister's family, saying that it was his money.
In particular, Feng Haidong said that the wine he brought back specifically for his father was paid for by his brother-in-law.
These words made the elderly father and mother very happy, and their gazes towards Fang Jianxing, their eldest son-in-law, changed completely.
At lunchtime, Feng Chungu even poured a glass of wine for her eldest son-in-law.
"Jianxing, it looks like you've had a tough time following Haidong on this trip. Come, let Dad pour you a drink to thank you for your hard work."
Fang Jianxing was truly flattered.
It's worth noting that since he married Feng Yunhua, he has been mostly disliked by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Over the years, Fang Jianxing has often been criticized by his father-in-law.
Fang Jianxing dared not refute his father-in-law at all.
Therefore, Fang Jianxing was really afraid of his father-in-law all these years.
Some villagers even made jokes about Fang Jianxing about it.
He deliberately scared him by saying that his father-in-law was coming.
In the first few times, Fang Jianxing was really frightened quite a few times.
Now, when Fang Jianxing saw his father-in-law pour him wine, he quickly stood up and said with a look of fear, "Dad, how could I possibly let you pour me wine?"
Feng Chungu patted her eldest son-in-law and said, "Sit down. I'm pouring you this glass of wine for three reasons."
Firstly, your trip with Haidong must have been very helpful to him; otherwise, he might not have had such a smooth journey.
Secondly, you've taken very good care of your mother and me, our precious daughter, all these years. Your mother and I both know that Yunhua has a notoriously short temper, and it's really commendable that you've been able to tolerate her all these years.
The third thing is, Dad hopes that after you come back from this trip with Haidong, you must work hard and do a good job in fish and shrimp farming.”
After listening to his father-in-law's words, Fang Jianxing raised the wine glass that his father-in-law had filled.
He said earnestly, "Dad, since you poured me the wine yourself, I also want to make a statement. This trip with Haidong has really allowed me to see the outside world and understand that nowadays, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can definitely make money. So I will definitely work hard."
After saying that, Fang Jianxing tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass.
Seeing this, Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, my brother-in-law really didn't hold back this time, and it was really because of his drinking ability that I was able to accomplish such a great thing."
Feng Haidong then recounted his experience of drinking at the winery to everyone.
The whole family was quite surprised to hear this.
On the one hand, they were surprised that Fang Jianxing could drink so much, managing to outdrink several of the other party by himself, and the other party were all from the winery, so they must all be heavy drinkers.
On the other hand, it was also surprising that Feng Haidong had planned everything so thoroughly, resolving the problem over a single drink.
Lu Wanling said, "Brother-in-law, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped Haidong fend off the drinks, he definitely wouldn't have been able to close the deal so smoothly."
As she spoke, Lu Wanling also raised her glass: "Brother-in-law, I'd like to offer you tea instead of wine."
Feng Haidong quickly raised his glass: "Brother-in-law, my wife and I are toasting you together."
Fang Jianxing poured some wine, picked up his glass again, and said, "Haidong, Wanling, you don't need to be so polite. I'm not very capable, but I'm really happy that I can help Haidong with drinking this time."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you helped me fend off the drinks this time, that's the biggest credit you've ever given."
Seeing her husband receive such treatment at home for the first time, Feng Yunhua's face was full of smiles, and she was genuinely happy for him.
Seeing his father's appearance, Fang Jie began to have a different view of him for the first time.
After a welcoming lunch, Feng Haidong led Liang Cong out, taking him to stroll around the town and visit the river.
Fang Jianxing drank a bit too much at noon and was helped back to his room to sleep by Feng Yunhua and his son Fang Jie.
Lying on the bed in the room, Fang Jianxing suddenly grabbed his son's hand and said, "Son, you must study hard. Don't worry about money. Dad will work hard to earn money so that you can continue your studies until you graduate from university."
Fang Jie was surprised to hear his father's words, because his father had never said such a thing to him before.
Fang Jianxing continued, "Xiao Jie, do you know? This time, your father went out with your Uncle Dong and saw the outside world. It really made me realize that knowledge can change destiny. Without culture and knowledge, it will be very difficult to get by in the future. You must study hard, go to university in the future, and go out to change your destiny."
After listening to his father's words, Fang Jie said earnestly, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
Fang Jianxing said, "That's right. You should learn more from your Uncle Dong in the future. Dad used to look down on your Uncle Dong, thinking he was just a poor, pedantic scholar."
But this time, going out with your Uncle Dong, Dad truly witnessed your Uncle Dong's abilities; your Uncle Dong really is something else."
As he spoke, Fang Jianxing gave a thumbs up: "Your Uncle Dong is really capable. Soon you and your mother will see that your Uncle Dong will accomplish something great."
This trip with Feng Haidong truly broadened Fang Jianxing's horizons.
Most importantly, Fang Jianxing witnessed the methods and abilities of his brother-in-law, Feng Haidong.
Fang Jianxing now truly admires Feng Haidong.
Moreover, Fang Jianxing knew that with Liang Cong around, Feng Haidong's next big project was bound to succeed.
Therefore, Fang Jianxing's previous ideas have all undergone tremendous changes at this time.
He now deeply understands that he was short-sighted before.
We should let our son study hard so that he can get into university, leave the village, or even leave our city, and go out into the wider world to see and explore.
At the same time, Fang Jianxing actually had another idea in mind.
He hopes his son can study agriculture at university so that when he graduates, he can help his brother-in-law, Feng Haidong, to develop agriculture in their hometown.
After returning from this trip, Fang Jianxing's horizons were broadened, and he was able to see some of Feng Haidong's ideas.
Feng Haidong genuinely wanted to make a name for himself in his hometown, and the business he wanted to pursue required technological support.
Therefore, Fang Jianxing felt that instead of having Feng Haidong keep having to ask people to come back from outside, it would be better to let his son go out to learn a skill, so that he could come back and help Feng Haidong.
Fang Jianxing now completely admires and trusts his brother-in-law Feng Haidong, and he wants to help Feng Haidong as much as possible.
Feng Haidong probably never expected that his trip with his brother-in-law would change his sister's family as well.
