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 ...
Upon hearing the loudspeaker outside the door, Feng Haidong immediately realized that his family members might have arrived, so he quickly went out to greet them.
They saw another minivan parked in front of their restaurant.
Then, I saw my eldest brother and sister and their family get out of the car, and I saw my second sister, Feng Yunmei, sitting in the passenger seat.
There's no need to even look at the driver's seat; the person who drove here must be my second brother-in-law, Wang Shubin.
Following closely behind, two more taxis pulled up at the entrance, and the younger sister Feng Yunlan and her family got out of the cars, along with the younger brother Feng Haiwen and his family.
Feng Haidong smiled and peeked out to greet his second sister and brother-in-law in the minivan.
"Second brother-in-law, second sister, you've finally arrived! My restaurant has been open for more than half a year, and this is your first time here, right? I've been waiting for you."
As Feng Yunmei opened the car door and got out, she said with a smile, "Haidong, I heard from my older sister and brother on the way here. I really didn't expect that you would start your own business, and even open such a big restaurant."
Feng Haidong smiled and helped his second sister out of the car, saying, "Second sister, when I opened my business, the whole family came, but your family was missing."
At this moment, Wang Shubin, the second brother-in-law, also got out of the car.
"Haidong, don't blame your second sister for this. It's mainly because I'm too busy running a transport business in another city, and your second sister is also busy taking care of the children at home. Your niece is about to take the high school entrance exam, so your second sister is keeping a close eye on her."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "How could I blame my second sister for what my brother-in-law said? She was the best to me when we were little."
Feng Yunhua laughed when she heard this and said, "Haha, Haidong's mouth is getting better and better. When he sees me, he says that his eldest sister was the best to him when we were young. Now when he sees Yunmei, he says that his second sister was the best to him when we were young."
Even after being exposed by his older sister, Feng Haidong wasn't embarrassed at all and continued to smile.
“Isn’t it because my eldest and second eldest sisters are so good to me? I remember when we had just returned from the provincial capital with our parents and returned to the town, Yunlan, Haiwen, and I were all very unfamiliar with each other. My eldest brother had already gone to work in the production team. It was just my eldest and second eldest sisters at home. We relied entirely on them to take care of us.”
Feng Yunlan and Feng Haiwen, who had already gotten out of the taxi, immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes, back then, my eldest and second eldest sisters really gave us all the good things."
Feng Haiwen said, "I remember when I first returned to the town, I couldn't get used to the coarse grains in the countryside at all. My eldest and second eldest sisters went out of their way to find wheat flour for me."
When siblings get together, they naturally reminisce about many things from their childhood.
Feng Haidong and his friends endured a lot of hardship in the countryside when they were young, but now they feel happy when they look back on it.
The children from each family listened with great curiosity to what Feng Haidong and his friends were saying.
Feng Haidong had six siblings. Apart from his eldest sister's son, Fang Jie, the other children didn't spend much time in the countryside, let alone do farm work like Feng Haidong and his siblings did when they were young.
So when children listen to their parents chat, they are filled with a sense of novelty and curiosity.
Feng Haidong didn't let everyone stand and chat at the door. Instead, he invited them in, saying, "Come on, let's go inside. It's quite cold outside, and it's snowing. Come in and sit down at my restaurant so we can chat."
The eldest brother, Feng Haiming, asked, "Have Mom and Dad arrived?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "My parents are inside, let's go in."
So, at Feng Haidong's invitation, the brothers and sisters entered the restaurant one after another.
Once inside, the restaurant was naturally very warm.
When Lu Wanling saw her husband's brothers and sisters arrive, she handed her daughter to her younger brother's wife, Chen Cuiping, and got up to help her husband greet them.
"Eldest brother and sister-in-law, eldest sister and brother-in-law, second sister, second sister and brother-in-law, Yunlan, Haiwen, you're all here."
Seeing Lu Wanling stand up to greet them, everyone quickly asked her to sit down.
Then, the women gathered around Lu Wanling and looked at the baby in swaddling clothes.
Although many people had already arrived, Feng Haidong's youngest daughter was still sleeping soundly in her swaddling clothes.
The older sister-in-law looked her over and said, "Everyone says daughters resemble their fathers, and this little baby really looks like Haidong. She'll definitely grow up to be a very beautiful girl."
Feng Yunlan said, "Actually, she looks quite like my sister-in-law, especially her nose."
The eldest sister, Feng Yunhua, said, "They all look alike, they all look alike, otherwise how could they be our parents?"
Feng Haiwen's wife, Jiang Lijun, said, "Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen such a small child."
Lu Wanling said, "It's really hard to take care of a child. I feel that I'm getting older and it's very hard to take care of such a young child. Fortunately, my younger sister can help me."
Chen Cuiping said, "My eldest sister and brother-in-law are really brave; we wouldn't dare to even think about it."
Lu Wanling said, "I didn't dare to either, but your brother-in-law said he wanted to stay, and then he started doing business. We're also worried because the child will lose his job."
Feng Yunlan said, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't really matter whether you have a job or not now. Our factory is said to be facing restructuring soon, and we don't know what will happen next."
On the other side, Feng Haidong sat chatting with the men in his family.
We also happened to talk about the current situation of various factories and units.
Feng Haidong talked about his older cousin and her husband being laid off in the provincial capital.
The eldest brother, Feng Haiming, sighed and said, "Now all the factories and companies are struggling. My cousin and her husband are quite bold; they immediately started their own business."
