After dealing with all the guests, Feng Haidong brought out two large platters of crayfish from the kitchen and sat down at his younger brother's table.
When the crayfish were served, all the children at the table cheered.
Feng Qingqing cheered, "Finally, I can eat my second uncle's crayfish again!"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Why don't you stay at your second uncle's house for a while instead of going back tonight? You can eat your fill every night."
Feng Qingqing immediately replied, "Okay, okay."
Although she verbally agreed, Feng Qingqing still looked at her parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, is it okay?"
Jiang Lijun said, "You shouldn't stay here. Don't you see that your second uncle and aunt already have quite a few children? If you stay any longer, there won't be any room for them to sleep."
Feng Qifan immediately said, "There's a place to sleep. Qingqing can sleep in the big bed with my mom and Yueyue, and my dad and I can sleep in my bed."
Feng Qifan's arrangement immediately made everyone laugh.
Feng Haidong said, "You're really good at making arrangements."
Feng Qifan asked, "Dad, is it okay?"
Feng Haidong said, "Sure, if all else fails, Dad will sleep on the floor. It's summer now, so sleeping on the floor is more comfortable than squeezing into the small bed with you."
Jiang Lijun quickly said, "Second brother, it's better not to. It would be too much trouble for you and sister-in-law if Qingqing stayed."
Lu Wanling said, "It's okay, we already have quite a few children, one more won't make a difference."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, whether it's one or two, it's all the same whether it's three or four, it's all the same."
Upon hearing her husband's words, Lu Wanling immediately slapped him and said, "What are you saying? What's with all this 'herding' stuff? Do you think we're herding sheep?"
Feng Haidong chuckled and said, "With so many kids together, isn't that like herding sheep? That's how we all grew up."
Immediately, Feng Haiwen, Jiang Lijun, and Lu Yaobin couldn't help but laugh along.
Feng Haiwen laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is right. We really did grow up like that. Back then, we had many brothers and sisters. How could our parents have time to coax each of us? We were all herded around like sheep."
The children laughed as they listened.
Lu Yue couldn't quite understand, but seeing her older siblings laughing, the little girl naturally started laughing too.
After some lighthearted banter, everyone inevitably started talking about their childhood.
The children listened with great interest as the adults talked about their childhood.
The children would laugh along when they heard something funny.
If they don't understand something, the children will work together to get to the bottom of it.
Later, some customers at neighboring tables joined in, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the entire restaurant, with everyone sharing their childhood experiences.
Many people don't even shy away from sharing embarrassing stories from their childhood.
The atmosphere in the crayfish restaurant was really cheerful.
During this time, Feng Haidong took some time to greet the guests a few more times.
Seeing how well his second brother's restaurant was doing, Feng Haiwen quietly exchanged a glance with his wife, and the couple seemed to have figured something out.
Because there were quite a lot of guests, our family's table had to finish eating quickly to make room for them.
After finishing their meal, Feng Haidong quietly told his wife to ask her and her siblings to take the children to buy some cold drinks, which actually meant taking the children out for a stroll.
Feng Haidong called his younger brother to the backyard of the restaurant.
Upon arriving at the backyard, where only the two brothers were present, Feng Haidong stopped hiding his intentions and asked directly, "Tell me, you brought Qingqing here tonight, there must be something going on, right?"
Feng Haiwen was somewhat surprised when his second brother asked so directly.
Feng Haiwen used to think that his second brother was a bookish, literary type, not someone who could do great things or take charge of important matters.
But ever since his second brother started his own business, Feng Haiwen realized that he had misjudged his brother.
Especially after he went back to visit his parents and heard his father praising his second brother, Feng Haiwen realized that he had really underestimated his second brother before.
That's why he came to see his second brother today with his wife and daughter.
Even though Feng Haiwen no longer underestimated his second brother, he still didn't expect that his second brother would realize that he had something to do today.
Seeing that his younger brother remained silent, Feng Haidong continued, "Haiwen, we are brothers. You don't need to hide anything from your second brother. Just say what you want to say. As long as your second brother can help, he will definitely help you."
Feng Haiwen finally spoke up: "Second brother, it's like this, Lijun's factory is going to be restructured. They said they want employees to invest in the company and they will receive dividends based on how much they invest. If they don't invest, they won't receive dividends and may even face being laid off after the factory is restructured."
Hearing his younger brother say this, Feng Haidong understood why his brother and sister-in-law had brought their niece with them.
This is indeed a time when many domestic enterprises are trying to restructure.
Many companies are trying to adopt a shareholding system, allowing employees to invest and raise funds to get the company running again.
Feng Haidong has been busy with business lately and has paid little attention to the factory.
I almost forgot that companies should have been joint-stock companies during this period.
Now, hearing his younger brother say this, Feng Haidong suddenly realized that his factory and his wife's workplace would soon be trying to take this step.
Feng Haidong looked at his younger brother and asked seriously, "Haiwen, let me ask you first, do you think that Lijun and the others investing in their factory will help it recover?"
Feng Haiwen was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
