Before we knew it, it was the end of May, and Lu Yaobin, the brother-in-law, had already taken the money to the provincial capital.

Feng Haidong is also making preparations in full swing, just waiting to find a suitable storefront before he officially opens his shop.

Of course, while these things were being prepared in full swing, Feng Haidong did not forget to care about his family.

For example, Feng Haidong took time to accompany his son to a violin lesson for his performance on Children's Day and discussed some details of his son's performance with his violin teacher.

On the second-to-last day of May, Feng Haidong asked his wife to take leave, and he also asked his son to take leave from school.

The couple took their son to a department store to buy him a performance outfit.

Hearing that she was going to buy a costume for her son's Children's Day performance, Lu Wanling took it very seriously. She even called her younger sister Lu Wanhong and Mei Yaqin to help with the planning.

The group met in front of the department store, and Mei Yaqin greeted Feng Haidong warmly as soon as she saw him.

"Haidong, your business has been doing well lately. I heard from the warehouse manager that you and your guys from the food stall are going to get beer almost every other day."

Feng Haidong never expected that his wife would bring Mei Yaqin along as well. He always felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Mei Yaqin.

But as the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and Feng Haidong knew that Mei Yaqin hadn't done anything wrong, so he couldn't show too much resistance.

So Feng Haidong could only smile and say, "Business is alright. The main thing is that the night market is gradually taking shape, and now everyone goes there at night, so business is gradually stabilizing. With business stabilizing, beer consumption is naturally fixed."

Mei Yaqin said, "Okay, I really didn't realize before, Haidong, you're quite the businessman."

Feng Haidong immediately said modestly, "Sister Mei, you're really flattering me. I'm hardly a business expert. I'm just lucky."

Then Feng Haidong called out to everyone, "Alright, let's go inside first. Today we're mainly buying costumes for our violinist who's about to perform."

Lu Wanhong said, "Yes, yes, we need to get our little artist a handsome outfit."

Lu Wanling hugged her son and said, "Let's go in together."

Mei Yaqin followed beside the Lu Wanling and Lu Wanhong sisters, the three women protecting Feng Qifan as they walked in front, while Feng Haidong followed behind them.

However, shortly after entering the department store, Mei Yaqin slowed down and took the initiative to walk alongside Feng Haidong.

When Feng Haidong saw Mei Yaqin walking alongside him, he knew that she still had something to say to him, and he felt helpless.

Mei Yaqin quickly spoke up, "Haidong, Fanfan is really amazing now. Her essays can even be published in newspapers. You must be tutoring her behind the scenes, right?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong almost instantly thought of Mei Yaqin, his daughter who had a dream of becoming a writer.

Thinking of Mei Yaqin's daughter, Liu Ting, Feng Haidong could roughly guess what she wanted to say.

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Actually, it's mainly Fanfan's own effort. When it comes to writing compositions, children need to read more, look more, think more, and write more. Others' help is secondary. I just help him correct his mistakes."

Mei Yaqin immediately said, "Haidong, you are becoming more and more modest. I used to hear Wanling complain to me that your son Fanfan's math grades are quite good, but his Chinese grades are a bit poor. She also always told me that even though his father has such high literary cultivation, his son's writing is not good."

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong looked at his wife, who was leading their son to look at clothes with her sister.

He felt somewhat helpless: his wife really did tell everyone everything.

Seeing that Feng Haidong remained silent, Mei Yaqin continued, "So, Fanfan's rapid progress this time must be because you've put a lot of effort into her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong said, "Sister Mei, that's really not true. I'm quite busy with my business every day, how could I have time to teach the children every day? Wanling has always been the one to teach them."

Mei Yaqin said, "Oh, Haidong, don't lie to your older sister. Wanling told me that you've been very patient with your son lately. While you're busy with your business every day, you don't forget to urge him to do his homework, and you're always quite lenient in teaching him many other things."

Feng Haidong looked at his wife's back again and thought to himself with a helpless sigh: What a silly wife! Can't you keep quiet about the things at home?

Although he was internally complaining, Feng Haidong wasn't angry with his wife.

Because he knew very well that his wife was just that kind of straightforward person.

My wife never knew how to play mind games with people.

Feng Haidong could only say to Mei Yaqin, "Sister Mei, Wanling is exaggerating a bit. I'm just busy with business right now and don't have much time to discipline Fanfan. So I thought, since I don't have much time to ask, I might as well cultivate Fanfan's independence and let him do things on his own."

Mei Yaqin immediately chimed in, "That's right. Nowadays, most children are only children, and they do lack independence. My Tingting is an example of that."

Feng Haidong said, "So, this essay was actually written independently by Fanfan herself."

When Mei Yaqin saw Feng Haidong come back, she thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "In this respect, our Tingting should really learn from her younger brother. She dreams of literature all day long and has been trying to submit articles to newspapers and magazines, but she has never succeeded."

When Mei Yaqin finally brought up the matter, Feng Haidong could only say, "Sometimes, this requires a bit of talent; sometimes it can't be achieved through hard work alone."
