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 ...
As the end of the month approached, Feng Haidong, his parents, and wife began preparing to go home.
Therefore, Liu Fenzhen, the eldest cousin, specially set aside an afternoon to call everyone to Feng Haidong's shop for discussion.
Feng Haidong looked at his second and third cousins, as well as his parents and wife, who had been called there by his eldest cousin.
Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
"Big sister, there's really no need to go to so much trouble. I think it's better to do as I said: Wanling and Mom and Dad go back first, and I'll stay in the provincial capital with you all and keep our shop going until the 26th or 27th of the new year. It'll only be a few days later."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three older cousins were immediately displeased.
Liu Fenzhen said, "Is all you think about is doing business? Can't you go back with your aunt, uncle, and Wanling, and take your daughter with you earlier?"
Liu Fenxiu said, "Haidong, you should listen to us. Now most of the college students in the provincial capital have gone home for the Spring Festival. There is not much business in your shop at night. Why don't you go with your aunt and uncle and accompany Wanling to take the child home first? That way you can look out for each other on the way."
Liu Fenlin said, "Eldest sister and second sister are right. Haidong, just listen to us and do it this way."
Seeing his three cousins' firm stance, Feng Haidong said helplessly, "I'll stay until the end because there are still things to do with Brother Tang and my brother-in-law."
Lu Wanling immediately said, "I've already spoken to Lu Feng, and he'll go back with us first."
When Feng Haidong heard his wife say that, he continued, "What about Brother Tang? Besides, I need to distribute the bonus to everyone in the store before I leave. We've been working hard for a month, and the New Year is just around the corner. We should give everyone some money so they can have a good New Year."
Liu Fenzhen immediately said, "Your brother-in-law and I can handle this; you don't need to stay behind."
Then, Yu Jun, the second cousin's husband, said, "I think Tang Anguo should go back with you. As for the decoration company, we can deal with it properly after the New Year."
As soon as my second cousin's husband spoke, the other two cousins' husbands also expressed their agreement.
Seeing that his whole family was no longer on his side, Feng Haidong felt somewhat helpless.
He actually stayed behind, wanting to go home one last time, mainly because he was worried that his older cousin and her husband were too busy.
Feng Haidong's idea was to close the shop on the 25th of the lunar year, tidy it up one last time, so that his older cousin and her husband could go home early to prepare for the New Year, and then he would go home from the provincial capital.
It seems that everyone is telling him to go back with his parents, wife, and children first.
In the end, Feng Haidong could only look to his parents, hoping that they would stand up and say something at this moment.
When Liu Guifang saw her son looking at her, she expressed an opinion that was basically the same as everyone else's.
“Haidong, your cousin and her husband are right. There’s no need for you to stay in the provincial capital. Dazhen and her husband should be able to manage this shop. Don’t you trust your older sister?”
Upon hearing his mother's words, Feng Haidong quickly replied, "Mom, how could I not be worried? I certainly trust my eldest sister and brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fenzhen said, "Since you're comfortable with it, you can come back with me."
Feng Chungu finally spoke at this moment.
"Haidong, I know what you're thinking. You're worried that if you come back with us first, the final cleanup before the New Year will be left to your older sister and brother-in-law, which will delay their New Year celebrations."
But actually, if you stay, you can't help them at all. Do you think your older sister and brother-in-law can go back and prepare for the New Year if you stay?
Besides, what will happen to your family if you stay? We'll go back at the end of the month and prepare for the New Year.
You also said you wanted to come over early after the New Year to visit your eldest uncle in the south with your three older sisters. You should definitely come back with us to make the most of the New Year and take care of things at home.”
After listening to his father's words, Feng Haidong understood that his father had considered things more thoroughly.
Feng Haidong also gave up his idea.
“Okay, then we’ll head back at the end of the month. We’ll leave the rest of the work at the shop to you, sister and brother-in-law.”
Liu Fenzhen and Ma Bangcheng naturally agreed with smiles.
"Why should it be hard work for your own shop?"
"It's alright, Haidong, we'll definitely take care of it."
Feng Haidong added, "Before I leave, let me distribute the money to everyone. Although we've only been open for a month, everyone has worked very hard during this time. Giving each person an extra 100 yuan will allow them to go home and have a proper New Year."
Liu Fenzhen immediately said, "Isn't giving each person an extra 100 yuan a bit too much?"
Feng Haidong said, "Sister, it's not much. It's the New Year, and everyone wants to have a good year, right?"
Feng Chun-gu chimed in, "That's right, you can't be too stingy. You're all bosses, you can't be so stingy. You have to be generous when you need to be, so that your employees will be willing to work for you."
Ma Bangcheng said to his wife, "We should listen to Haidong's opinion on this."
Liu Fenzhen finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do as Haidong says."
Feng Haidong decided to go back with his parents, wife, and children first, and naturally he wanted to invite his brother-in-law Lu Feng and Tang Anguo along as well.
Tang Anguo didn't want to go back first because he, Lu Feng, and Gao Yongcheng still had work to do.
However, at Feng Haidong's insistence, Tang Anguo and his brother-in-law Lu Feng finally agreed to go back together first.
The main reason was that Feng Haidong proposed setting up a decoration company after returning from the Spring Festival.
This is a big deal, something that Tang Anguo and Gao Yongcheng have been keeping in mind.
So in order to get the renovation company up and running smoothly after the New Year, Tang Anguo had no choice but to agree to go back with Feng Haidong first.
As for the work that Tang Anguo and Lu Feng did with Gao Yongcheng and the others, the final finishing touches were naturally handed over to Gao Yongcheng and the others.
Tang Anguo earnestly instructed, "You must do a good job for them; there can't be any mistakes when you're finishing up."
Feng Haidong added, "If there are any problems, Brother Tang won't be working with you guys after the New Year."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's additional comment, Gao Yongcheng naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"Brother Tang, don't worry, we will definitely do a good job on the finishing touches. I will make sure that everything is checked and accepted before I leave."
So things in the provincial capital are all arranged.
Feng Haidong, along with his parents, wife, brother-in-law Lu Feng, and Tang Anguo, boarded the train back to their hometown ahead of schedule, accompanied by his three cousins and carrying various gifts bought for them.
As the train pulled out of the station, snowflakes began to fall outside the window.
Feng Haidong looked at the snowflakes outside the window, then at his wife sitting beside him, holding their daughter.
Looking back on all the things I've done over the past six months.
Feng Haidong believes that he and his family will definitely be able to live a better and better life in the future.
Although there are still many things to do, and there will definitely be even more work to be done after the New Year, Feng Haidong believes that everyone should be able to have a happy New Year.
With his family happy, Feng Haidong felt that his efforts over the past six months had been worthwhile.
