As evening fell, Jiang Xiaoyan returned home and was stunned to see the table laden with food. Lu Feng came out of the kitchen, took off his apron, and said, "Eat quickly!"
"You're off work so early?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, looking at the food on the table. "Did you borrow money again?"
Lu Feng thought she would be happy, but the first thing she asked him was if he had borrowed money. She said, "Would you believe me if I said I found money again?"
"Do you think I believe you? What exactly are you doing outside?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked worriedly.
"What I did was definitely legal, don't worry. Today is an important day, we have to celebrate." Lu Feng walked over, picked up Duo Duo and put her on a chair, saying, "Eat something delicious, are you happy?"
"happy!"
Give me a kiss!
Duoduo gave Lu Feng two quick kisses on the cheek, her face full of cuteness!
Jiang Xiaoyan sat to the side, looking at the table full of food, feeling a mix of emotions. He had indeed changed for the better; he no longer yelled at her or hit her. But now she was even more worried.
Lu Feng was comforting Duo Duo when he noticed Jiang Xiaoyan's worried expression and asked, "What's wrong with you now?"
"Lu Feng, tell me the truth, did you gamble?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked with a stern face, "How much did you win?"
"I didn't gamble!" Seeing her disbelieving look, Lu Feng sighed and said, "I set up a small factory to produce canned goods. It officially starts operating tomorrow, and things will get better."
He's running a factory? To Jiang Xiaoyan, this was more unbelievable than pigs flying.
“Let’s just live like this. If it doesn’t work out, then forget it. I’ll get paid the day after tomorrow. I’ll pay off the family’s debts first. Also, I’ve paid back Li Dafang’s money.” Jiang Xiaoyan sat down and said, “I don’t expect you to become better. I just hope you can think about us, mother and son. I don’t have much ability. I’m already very tired from working two jobs.”
"I know." Lu Feng stepped forward, looked at her, put his arm around her, and whispered, "Things will get better. I really did set up a small factory."
Jiang Xiaoyan was held in his arms, feeling the firmness and heat of his chest. Her face flushed; she had never felt this way before.
Duoduo stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Daddy's so shy, hug Mommy!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyan blushed as red as a monkey's bottom, struggled to push Lu Feng away, and shouted, "What are you doing? The child is watching!"
"What's wrong with looking?" Lu Feng wondered, then realized that it wasn't that open-minded yet, where people could hug and even whisper sweet nothings to each other freely.
After dinner, Lu Feng lay in bed that night, feeling very excited about the opening of the company the next day. He was even more excited than when his first company started making a profit. He didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The next morning, just as Jiang Xiaoyan got up, Lu Feng also got up; it was barely dawn outside.
"Up so early?"
"It's opening day, so we have to get there early." Lu Feng finished washing up and ate breakfast.
"You really... set up a factory?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked in disbelief.
“Just consider it me indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring outside. Also, once the factory is up and running, you should quit your job as a waitress at the restaurant. If business is good, you don’t need to work anymore; you can stay home and be a rich housewife,” Lu Feng said while eating.
"What do you mean by being a rich lady? Where did you get the money to do all this? I had no idea."
"Don't ask so many questions." Lu Feng seemed to have rediscovered the passion he had during his entrepreneurial days in his previous life. He quickly finished his meal, wiped his mouth, stood up, and gave Jiang Xiaoyan a light, fleeting kiss on the lips. He subconsciously said, "Baby, I'm leaving now!"
Jiang Xiaoyan froze on the spot, her body stiff as if she had been electrocuted, her mind filled only with his word "baby". When she came to her senses, her face turned red, and she realized that Lu Feng had already left.
"Luckily I was at home, this is just too much."
Although Jiang Xiaoyan felt it was too flamboyant, she also felt a sweet warmth in her heart, which soothed her wounded soul.
At six o'clock in the morning, the workers who applied for the job yesterday had arrived. Da Tou was also standing at the door. When he saw Lu Feng arrive, he grinned.
"Why are you here so early?" Lu Feng asked Da Tou, puzzled.
“I told my parents yesterday that I don’t want to farm for the rest of my life. My dad told me that I should go out and explore the world. Wild grass grows every year, but it won’t grow back after I turn twenty-two!” Da Tou said earnestly.
After hearing this, Lu Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Your father truly has exceptional taste!"
Lu Feng opened the door and addressed everyone: "On the first day of business, I'd like to say a few words to everyone. Starting today, we'll begin paying wages. We'll receive our paychecks on this day next month. If you do a good job, there will be a bonus. The fruit will be here soon. Everyone, please clean the machines and start the fire on the stove. The men will be in charge of boiling the canned goods, and the women will be in charge of sealing them with the machines. Got it?"
"Okay!" everyone replied.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a tractor stopped at the door. Sun Longbin jumped off the tractor, went inside, glanced at the goods, and said, "Brother Feng, I've brought the stuff for you."
Everyone busied themselves unloading the goods. Lu Feng glanced at the bill and put it in his pocket.
"Brother Feng, how long do you plan to do this?" Sun Longbin looked around and whispered, "Brother Feng, my dad ran into some trouble in the village, do you think you could..."
Lu Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My old man doesn't even talk to me anymore, understand?"
Sun Longbin nodded without saying anything, which made Lu Feng's heart jump. He was asked to do something as soon as the goods were delivered. He could get away with it for now, but what about after a while?
A short while later, the glass factory's canning jars arrived. Lu Feng exchanged a few polite words with Sun Longbin and then went to get busy.
