Feng Haidong took his son back to the city by bus. The father and son went home first to leave the things they had brought back.
While he was at it, Feng Haidong took his son along and cleaned the house.
While cleaning the house, Feng Haidong encouraged his son, "Fanfan, you did a great job at your grandparents' house this time. You've become a real man. Today, my son and I are back, so let's clean the house together first, so we can go straight to sleep when we get home tonight."
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
Encouraged by his father, Feng Qifan immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, Dad."
Then, the father and son spent the morning thoroughly cleaning the house.
I wiped down all the tables, chairs, and benches in the house, and also cleaned the wardrobe, TV cabinet, and desk.
After sweeping away the dust, we mopped the entire floor from the inner room to the outer room again.
Of course, taking advantage of the good weather, Feng Haidong also opened the wardrobe and took out all the clothes to air them out.
The father and son worked all morning and managed to clean the house up.
The father and son even cleaned up some of the most obscure and hidden places.
After finishing cleaning, Feng Haidong checked the time and saw that it was already noon, so he decisively called his son to go out together.
“Son, let’s go. Let’s go straight to the restaurant and see how your uncles and aunts are doing lately. We can also have lunch with them there.”
Feng Qifan was very happy: "Great! Dad, shall we go visit Grandpa and Grandma?"
Feng Haidong said, "Of course I'll go. I'll visit Grandpa and Grandma this afternoon."
Feng Qifan said, "Okay."
The father and son went out together and happened to run into some neighbors from the residential compound who were returning home from get off work at noon. The neighbors were quite surprised to see the father and son.
"Oh, Haidong's back?"
"Haidong, I haven't seen your family for a month. Where have you been?"
Faced with the neighbors' questions, Feng Haidong replied with a smile, "Wanling and I took the children back to my parents' place. We've been staying in town for quite a while."
The neighbors were even more puzzled, wondering if Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling didn't have to go to work.
"Haidong, you've gone back? Don't you and Wanling go to work?"
"That's right, we haven't seen you come back. We thought your family was planning to move somewhere else."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Of course not. It's just that there's no work at the factory, so I took a leave of absence. Wanling actually went out to do business for the company, so only my son and I have come back for now. Wanling hasn't come back yet."
The neighbors then realized what was going on, and they all felt a pang of envy for Feng Haidong and his family.
"Haidong, you and Wanling are really amazing, starting to find things to do so early."
"Yes, our factory is also going downhill now, and we're almost unable to pay wages."
"Our company is in the same boat; we don't know how much longer we can hold on."
"Shouldn't they be able to keep going?"
"But I've heard that many companies are on the verge of collapse, and many are facing numerous problems. Some people from companies in other places have already started to be laid off."
"Really? I've heard about it too. I wonder what will happen here?"
Hearing his neighbors' words, Feng Haidong felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Because he knew that in the near future, most companies would face bankruptcy and closure, and many people would be forced to lose their jobs.
He really wanted to remind everyone, but he didn't know how.
Finally, Feng Haidong could only say, "There are still many things we can do now. Everyone should look for other things to do. It's better than just staying at the office. Moreover, there is a great need for manpower in some cities in the south and along the coast."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's words, many people immediately began to back down.
"What will happen to your family if you go to another city?"
"That's right. No matter what, we now have a formal job at our company."
"Yes, the factory is probably only temporarily out of order."
"If you leave your workplace and factory now, it will be difficult to go back later."
"We can't possibly do business as well as you, Haidong."
Hearing what everyone said, Feng Haidong felt very powerless.
Clearly, even at this time, people still don't want to believe that the company is failing, and would rather stay at their respective workplaces, waiting for the day when the company can be revived.
Feng Haidong didn't know what else to say, so he could only say, "Everyone is still quite optimistic. Let's leave it at that for now. Once my son and I are back, we'll have to find somewhere to get something to eat."
The neighbors all said that they were all going home to cook.
After saying goodbye to his neighbors, Feng Haidong led his son out of the residential compound.
Walking along the road, Feng Haidong earnestly said to his son, "Fanfan, you must remember to always maintain an optimistic attitude. Don't become pessimistic just because you encounter difficulties. And you must work hard. No matter what, you can't succeed if you don't work hard."
Although Feng Qifan didn't quite understand what his father was saying, he saw that his father was very serious, so he naturally nodded and said, "Dad, I will remember."
Feng Haidong rode his bicycle with his son to the front of the crayfish restaurant.
By this time, the crayfish restaurant had already opened.
But before the father and son even entered the door, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.
