"Then it's settled. I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Lu. Please let me know if you need anything."
"If there's anything you can do to help us, just say so. If there's anything we need in town, or anything that needs to be done, just say so. Don't be shy."
"Don't worry, see you later, see you next year." Lu Feng waved and watched Zhu Zhiqiang and his group leave.
"You're going to build a factory in the county?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked in surprise.
"It's just a title. Zhu Zhiqiang is getting promoted. He's on an inspection tour recently. He wants to secure some projects to stabilize his career. It'll be over after the New Year." Lu Feng looked at the people around him staring at him in shock and said, "Take Duoduo with you in the car."
Jiang Xiaoyan nodded and got into the car.
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Ergou's family with little expression on his face. His sister-in-law wanted to say a few kind words, but seeing Lu Feng's cold face, she didn't move.
Lu Feng got into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Song Xuemei plopped down on the ground and wailed, "What's the use of having daughters? Once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl—completely useless. My two sons are both good-for-nothings..."
Jiang Xiaohong stood at the door of her house, coldly observing everything before her. Looking at her mother, she had already made up her mind: as long as Xie Heng married her, she would marry him and stay far away from this family.
On the way back, there were few people around, let alone vehicles. Only the cold air left her nowhere to hide. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Xiaoyan felt an indescribable sadness and couldn't help but tear up.
"Don't cry, Mommy!"
Lu Feng wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. She hadn't done anything wrong. She had done her best as a daughter. It was just that fate wouldn't assign everyone a good mother!
Lu Feng thought Jiang Xiaoyan had calmed down and would ask him to help her two brothers, but she didn't. Perhaps she had already thought things through.
Making dumplings, cooking, and putting up Spring Festival couplets—Jiang Xiaoyan is naturally skillful, and the three of them work together happily, creating an indescribable festive atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV. This year, Zhao Benshan appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. Now, the Spring Festival Gala is a true family celebration and is especially lively.
Outside the window, you can see bursts of fireworks exploding, hear children playing, and hear people moving around in the hallway, making plans to play mahjong at each other's houses.
They had already set off firecrackers downstairs. Duoduo was exhausted from playing and was fast asleep on the sofa. Lu Feng stood by the window, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with the sound of the television coming from behind him.
"Dear viewers, it's time to say goodbye to the Spring Festival Gala again. This year is the Year of the Horse. May we all achieve great success and have the spirit of a dragon and horse this year. See you in the Year of the Sheep!"
Jiang Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "It's over. Go to sleep now. You haven't had anything to do these past few days, so take a good rest so you don't have to work non-stop when things get busy again."
Lu Feng turned to look at her and asked, "Do you hate me?"
"What kind of talk is that?"
"Actually, I should have gone to my house, but we already have our own home, so I didn't call my mom."
"Don't think too much, thinking too much will only make you tired. Just be at ease!" Jiang Xiaoyan seemed quite emotional. Under Lu Feng's influence these days, she seemed less shy and timid, at least in front of Lu Feng. She smiled, looking exceptionally cute, and said, "I only know that I love you!"
"Really?" Lu Feng grinned, walked up to her, and said, "Give me a kiss."
Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Duoduo to make sure she was asleep, then pouted and kissed her, saying, "Is that enough?"
"That's not enough!" Lu Feng suddenly picked her up, causing Jiang Xiaoyan to exclaim in surprise.
What are you doing?
"Go back to your room and sleep!"
"I think something's wrong with you."
"Something wrong?" Lu Feng squinted and smiled. "Nothing was wrong originally, but since you want something wrong, let's make something happen."
"Duoduo..."
"Don't use Duoduo as an excuse. Lock the door. I'm not going to do anything about it." Lu Feng said, throwing her onto the bed.
"Isn't it inappropriate during the Lunar New Year?" Jiang Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed, but then she thought about how he was really going crazy and couldn't handle being in the village.
"It's only during the New Year that we need to have some fun, and this is our family's way of entertaining ourselves!"
