However, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi surprised him. In his eyes, these two were more like spoiled children, but he didn't expect them to actually have some skills.
Jiang Yi glanced at her brother, and seeing him nod, she carefully took something out of her bosom and said, "Could you please send this to Fanyunyan in S City for my brother? I heard that he is now engaged in this kind of work. Perhaps this will be useful. We hope it can be used for its intended purpose."
Zhang Desheng paused for a moment, took it, and then nodded without saying anything more, saying, "Okay."
After he left, Jiang Yi pouted and asked her brother in confusion, "Why can't we use this to take Father back to the city?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled and ruffled his sister's hair. She really was a child who would never grow up…
“Jiang Yi, there are many people in the whole country who are more capable than me. I’m not doing this in the hope that we can turn our lives around in one fell swoop, but only in the hope that, for its sake, our lives will be a little better in the future.”
Jiang Yi nodded; she was much more sensible than before.
She clapped her hands and said cheerfully, "It's good as it is now. It's good that our family is together. Of course, it would be even better if it could be like before..."

S City.
Fan Yunyan received a package from the Xiangyang Brigade of Qingcheng. After curiously opening it, he found a brief explanation of the origin of the items inside.
He is very talented in economic research. At present, China is short of resources and is forced to adopt a planned economy. It has initially completed industrialization, but eventually, it will have to move towards a market economy.
Fan Yunyan could naturally see the merits of the item in his hand, and he generously shared it with his professor, who greatly appreciated it.
He even felt a pang of regret for the talent, but knowing that it was better to remain still than to act now, he did utter a few words of lament.
Fan Yunyan now lives with the Lu family in S City, a particularly comfortable example of a live-in son-in-law...
Even Lu Zhixi sometimes sensed the subtle provocations from others, but Fan Yunyan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he spoke with an exceptionally sincere, innocent expression: "Are you deliberately trying to sow discord between my husband and me? My sister said that after marriage, you have to listen to your wife. Those who talk nonsense are up to no good."
Those people were deliberately speaking in a vague and ambiguous way, intending to sow discord. They thought that with so many people around, Fan Yunyan, a son-in-law who had married into the family, would be too embarrassed to refuse. Who would have thought that he would be shouting such things...
His sister said, "Who is his sister? Why is she so nosy?"
Meanwhile, Lu's mother, who had been frowning and holding her daughter Lu Zhixi's hand, hadn't turned against these people before because she was concerned about saving face and was afraid that things would get too ugly and affect her daughter and son-in-law's relationship. But who knew that her son-in-law would be so supportive?
Her face immediately turned cold: "Oh, compared to your son-in-law, my Yunyan is really a bit of a disappointment. He just has a good job, a more expensive dowry, and a family that sides with my daughter..."
Lu Zhixi's brothers were equally astonished, smiling as they said, "That's right, keeping the red flag flying at home while having colorful flags fluttering outside, she's really something..."
These words left everyone speechless. When Fan Yunyan's family sent the betrothal gifts, it was a grand affair. Everyone felt a pang of sadness then, thinking Lu Zhixi's reputation had been tarnished. But unexpectedly…
