Lu Feng stopped and turned around. Looking down from his vantage point, he saw a different view and quickly looked away, asking, "What's wrong?"
He Yanli sensed his unusual behavior and secretly felt smug. After all, she was a few years older than Jiang Xiaoyan and had more charm. She deliberately puffed out her chest and said, "Actually, our two families are quite close. If you have time, let's have a meal together. Come to my house, and I'll cook you something delicious."
"That won't be necessary. Xiaoyan is very busy, leaving early and returning late, she doesn't have time."
“She’s busy, but you are. I still have half a bottle of baijiu left, want some?” He Yanli blinked her eyes as if they could talk.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to handle her, but Lu Feng had seen it all before, so he smiled and said, "Sister He, you've been a widow for a few years now, haven't you?"
“It’s been two or three years!” He Yanli said, raising an eyebrow at him.
“I think you should find a partner and settle down. Life should be about working together, not about siding with whoever is in power. People who are opportunistic will end up with nothing.” After saying this, Lu Feng went upstairs.
"Who are you implying is a snob?" He Yanli's face turned extremely ugly. She reached up and pulled her clothes up, muttering, "I don't believe there's any man who doesn't want to lose his virginity?"
Lu Feng returned home and sat on the bed, thinking to himself that he had to stand firm before his lies were exposed. These people were trying to please him now, and once they paid enough, they would get him to do things for them.
At that time, Lu Feng's supposed connections and connections with powerful figures will be exposed as soon as possible. He must earn his first pot of gold as quickly as possible to establish himself.
In rural areas, a can of food costs 30 cents. If you exchange it for grain, corn is currently 7 cents a pound, and the grain station can give you more than 8 cents.
The cost of canned food is simply the cost of saccharin, fruit, water, labor, electricity, and canning jars, all added together, totaling nine-eight cents!
"If you take into account the price difference between grain stations and rural grain prices, the profit margin is 345%!" Lu Feng was stunned after calculating this profit.
That's outrageous!
Rural areas today are still largely small-scale farming economies, in a state of self-sufficiency. There is an extremely high demand for clothing, shoes, and processed food. Inconvenient roads and transportation have led to a semi-isolated state from cities, resulting in an unprecedentedly strong market.
Lu Feng finally understood why the "Home Appliances to the Countryside" and "Automobiles to the Countryside" programs were able to save the domestic economy during the 2008 global financial crisis.
"Now that we've got the canning jars sorted out, we can just sit back and wait to make a fortune!"
Lu Feng's face showed some excitement, but more worry; the glass products factory was not easy to fool!
Even if it's hard to fool someone, you still have to fool them!
Lu Feng laughed after he finished speaking. Others who were reborn were simply domineering and tyrannical, but he relied entirely on deception to make his first fortune after being reborn. He pretended to be a god and ghost everywhere, which was also ridiculous.
The door opened, and as soon as Jiang Xiaoyan opened it, Duoduo rushed in, clutching a doll. She threw herself into Lu Feng's arms and cried out, "Daddy, did you buy me anything good?"
"Your dad's a money-printing machine, buying you nice things every day." Jiang Xiaoyan changed her shoes, put the groceries on the table, and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Why do you dress like this every day?"
Lu Feng glanced down and realized he had forgotten to change his clothes. He hurriedly said, "I just wanted to find something to wear and feel the feeling of being newlyweds."
"You're so annoying!" Jiang Xiaoyan blushed at his words and asked, "Why are there so many people downstairs? What are they saying?"
"It's nothing, it's just Li Dafang's cousin who's here!"
Jiang Xiaoyan was cooking, chatting with Lu Feng about what happened at the restaurant and factory that day, while Duoduo lay on the bed combing her doll's hair.
As the family ate their meal, Jiang Xiaoyan meticulously listed the family's debts and quietly glanced at Lu Feng, saying, "When I went out this morning, I saw your group of buddies waiting for you at the door."
Seeing her like this, Lu Feng was afraid she would start crying again while eating, so he quickly said, "I..."
"You don't need to explain to me. I should be content. I just want you to have a job. I can pay back the money you owe!" Jiang Xiaoyan ate her meal in silence, already feeling very happy.
At least these past few days he hasn't come home drunk and angry, he hasn't hit himself, and he's changed a lot in his treatment of Duo Duo!
Lu Feng didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and eat. There were many days ahead, so he would take it slowly and deal with the canning jar issue first.
Duoduo sensed that the atmosphere at home seemed to be changing from before. She hugged a large bowl, her little eyes filled with panic.
After dinner, Lu Feng offered to wash the dishes for her. The two stood together, saying nothing. It seemed that yesterday's ambiguity had reached a critical point, like a dazzling firework that vanished in the blink of an eye.
At nine o'clock in the evening, since there was no TV and keeping the lights on would waste electricity, they went to bed early. Duoduo got up and looked at Lu Feng, saying in her childish voice, "Daddy, come and sleep, it's cool here!"
The mother and daughter slept on a bamboo mat. Lu Feng looked at Duo Duo and smiled, saying, "If Dad goes over there, your mother will get too hot."
It was an ambiguous remark to begin with, but Jiang Xiaoyan didn't respond. She simply pressed Duoduo down on the bed and gently patted her back to lull her to sleep.
Lu Feng wisely turned around and went to sleep.
In the dim light, Jiang Xiaoyan's expression revealed a hint of disappointment. Did he really expect her to take the initiative?
That night, He Yanli tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She kept replaying Lu Feng sitting in the passenger seat in her mind and secretly came up with a plan!
The next morning, Lu Feng vaguely heard an urgent knocking on the door. He opened his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, He Yanli. Please help me! The water pipe in my house has burst!" He Yanli's voice was very anxious.
"I'm not a plumber, you should find a professional!" Lu Feng said as he put on his clothes.
"My house is flooded, can you help me find the light switch?"
Lu Feng opened the door to his house, and He Yanli, dressed in thin clothes, stood outside. She reached out and grabbed Lu Feng, pulling him into her room.
Upon entering, the house was flooded, and water was gushing from the kitchen pipes.
The faucet was broken and couldn't be turned off. Lu Feng searched for a while and found the valve, then turned it off and said, "It's down there. You can just replace the faucet."
"Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry to have disturbed your sleep." He Yanli said with a embarrassed expression.
"It's nothing, just a small favor." Lu Feng said, glancing around the room. The blankets on the bed were still spread out, and underwear was scattered everywhere beside the bed, making it hard for him to look away. He said, "Then I'll head back now!"
"No, sit down for a while." He Yanli said, grabbing Lu Feng's hand and saying, "It's a mess here, there's nowhere to sit. Why don't you sit on the bed first?"
She pushed Lu Feng onto the bed.
