Wang Peng drove to Feng Dali's house.

A small, detached house, a two-story villa, with a wolfhound tied up in the yard; Feng Dali and his wife were both at home.

"Hello, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng," Wang Peng greeted them.

"We're all family here, Xiaopeng, please don't stand on ceremony."

Feng Dali looked around at the Santana car and laughed, "Ke Yong, isn't this the best car in the provincial capital?"

“No,” Li Keyong laughed. “The owner of Wenxin Garden drives an Audi worth over 600,000 yuan, the best car in the province.”

"Oh my," Feng Dali laughed, "It's normal for people to build and sell houses and drive luxury cars."

Wang Peng opened the trunk, moved a case of liquor onto the ground, and then took out a carton of cigarettes from the trunk.

Feng Dali examined the cigarettes and liquor carefully and said, "Xiao Peng, are your cigarette and liquor packets genuine?"

"Absolutely genuine!" Wang Peng raised his hand and swore, "Uncle Feng, I will never sell fake cigarettes or alcohol in my life."

"Okay!" Feng Dali reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Selling counterfeit cigarettes and alcohol is a crime. Don't do anything illegal."

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Feng." Wang Peng nodded hurriedly.

When Li Longfei opened his video arcade, he couldn't resist the temptation of money and played pornographic videos, which resulted in him being sentenced to three years in prison.

Having learned from past mistakes, Wang Peng was not inclined to take the risk.

"Keyong, Xiaopeng, let's unload the cargo," Feng Dali said.

"Brother Dali, sister-in-law, you two rest, I'll help Xiaopeng unload the goods," Li Keyong said with a smile.

Twenty cartons of cigarettes and twenty cases of liquor were all moved to the second floor.

Feng Dali has prepared the payment, totaling 1,960 yuan.

For ordinary families, when holding weddings or funerals, they usually use regular cigarettes and alcohol, which can cost several hundred yuan.

"Uncle Feng, if you don't finish the cigarettes and alcohol, you can call me for a refund."

Wang Peng said, "As long as it's unopened, I'll accept returns for a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of wine."

“Good, this is a good way to do business,” Feng Dali said with a smile.

"Xiao Peng, I heard you're from Ping'an County?" Feng Dali's wife, Qian Jingjing, asked.

Wang Peng nodded. "My home is in Ping'an County. I graduated from Ping'an No. 1 Middle School."

“What a coincidence,” Qian Jingjing said. “My aunt’s family is also from Ping’an County. These past few days, college students have been having a lot of fun, but she and my uncle have been unable to get train tickets.”

Wang Peng understood what she meant and said, "Auntie, please give me his home address."

“What a coincidence, I’m going back to the county on business these days, so I can bring them back with me,” Wang Peng added.

"No need, no need, I'm so embarrassed." Qian Jingjing winked at her husband.

Feng Dali said, "Xiao Peng, let me know when you go, and I'll go with you."

Wang Peng shook his head. "Uncle Feng, let's make it happen when you have time. Just let me know when you're going back."

I just earned 360 yuan from him, so it's not unreasonable for me to run an errand for him back in his hometown.

The key point is that Lao Feng helped him solve the problem of the thugs causing trouble.

Yesterday, Li Longfei told me that the demolition and resettlement housing contracts in Ping'an County have started to be signed. I'll go back to my hometown and sign the contract while I'm there.

"Why not do it today instead of tomorrow?" Zhang Dali asked.

“Okay, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning,” Wang Peng agreed without making any excuses.

Hearing this, the Feng couple were very happy and insisted on having the father and son stay for dinner.

Li Keyong politely declined and left the Feng family with Wang Peng.

"Xiao Peng, making friends with more important people will benefit your future," he said.

Wang Peng nodded and said, "Uncle, doing business relies on connections."

Li Keyong added, "However, you can't be too close to them either. You can't be too distant or too close. You have to figure out the right distance yourself."

“I know,” Wang Peng nodded.

He first took Li Keyong home, then went back to the tobacco and liquor store to check the accounts and income with Du Lei.

Then I drove back to the Warm Garden residential complex.

"Brother, has the problem with the thugs been resolved?" Li Mingzhu hugged his neck.

Wang Peng was stunned; he hadn't expected her to know everything.

"Brother, I'm not stupid."

Li Mingzhu kissed his lips and said softly, "Family matters are between the two of us, don't leave me out."

“I didn’t hide anything,” Wang Peng laughed. “I just share the good news with you, and I bear the troubles myself.”

"No! I won't agree!" Li Mingzhu said seriously. "We are husband and wife. No matter what happens, you have to tell me."

After saying that, she touched her boyfriend's face and said, "I made your favorite dishes. Go wash your hands and eat."

Two dishes were laid out on the table: shredded pork with green peppers and spicy and sour mung bean sprouts.

After dinner, Wang Peng mentioned that he was going back to Ping'an County to pick up someone.

Li Mingzhu agreed and said with a smile, "Brother, you go by yourself. Uncle needs to move the phone tomorrow, so I'll go to the shop and keep an eye on it."

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Peng drove to pick up Feng Dali.

After driving more than 160 kilometers, we arrived at Ping'an County, at the home of Feng Dali's aunt.

"Xiaopeng, come pick me up at five o'clock tonight."

Feng Dali took out twenty yuan and threw it on the car, saying, "Fill up the gas."

"Uncle Feng," Wang Peng hurriedly got out of the car, "there's gas in the car, you don't need to pay."

"Don't be so polite with me," Feng Dali said. "You've come all this way, so I should definitely pay for your gas."

His attitude was very firm, so Wang Peng could only take the money, chat with him for a few more minutes, and then drive to the demolition and sales office.

He handed his ID card and household registration book to the staff, who then took him to the sales manager.

Half an hour later, Wang Peng had chosen his house.

It's also a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment of 100 square meters, and it will be handed over in three years.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, your house will appreciate significantly in value in less than three years," Manager Tian said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind words." Wang Peng shook hands with him and turned to leave the sales office.

I glanced at my watch; it wasn't even 1 p.m., and I still had four hours before I was to pick up Feng Dali.

"Where to?" Wang Peng scratched his head.

We started the car and drove around the county. Before we knew it, we arrived at Ping'an County No. 1 Middle School.

He hesitated for a moment, then parked his car on the side of the road and went to a nearby boutique to buy a few fountain pens to give to his former teacher.

Drive the car into the campus, open the door and get out.

"Big brother!" Fourth sister Wang Zhen ran up to Wang Peng and said with a smile, "Big brother, is it really you?"

Wang Peng nodded. "You go to school here? What grade are you in?"

"I'm in first grade, I just took the exam this year, I'm not a high-priced student."

Wang Zhen smiled sweetly and said, "Big brother, is this the car you bought?"

"Yes," Wang Peng said. "Study hard and try to get into a good university."

Having unpleasant memories from his past life, Wang Peng didn't want to talk to her too much and turned to walk towards the teaching building.

"Big brother, I'm sorry!" Wang Zhen hurriedly chased after him.

She said, "I should have spoken up for you when they pressured you to hand in your high school acceptance letter."

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. I'm not your older brother anymore." Wang Peng waved his hand and quickened his pace to shake him off.

Wang Zhen watched his retreating figure and muttered to himself, "Big brother, I regret it now."

My older brother now owns a car and a house. If I had been closer to him back then, my life would definitely be better than it is now.

Thinking of this, a fervent glint flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes.
