Feng Haidong brought his son back from town. On Thursday, he took his son to school as usual in the morning, and then went to the factory to clock in.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
However, when Feng Haidong went to pick up his son at noon, he encountered a group of people handing out flyers at the school gate.
Feng Haidong did not recognize the person handing out the flyers, and the person handed the flyers to the parents picking up their children in front of the school gate without saying anything extra.
Feng Haidong casually took a flyer handed to him.
When he looked at the contents of the flyer, he was instantly stunned.
The flyer turned out to be an advertisement for a grilled fish restaurant.
Upon glancing at the address on the flyer, Feng Haidong immediately recognized that this was the same store Duan Jian had visited.
At this moment, Feng Haidong felt that things were starting to get interesting.
"It seems that Duan Jian has become smarter this time. He wants to steal my customers as soon as he starts making grilled fish."
Feng Haidong thought to himself: Li Shitong, that small boss who contracts coal mines, is really rich.
Feng Haidong is a bit strange. Wouldn't Li Shitong make more money by contracting a coal mine than by opening a shop?
Why did you decide to go into the restaurant business?
And why do they insist on learning from me?
Just as Feng Haidong was wondering what was going on, his son ran out of the school, came up to him, and patted the handlebars of his bicycle.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"
Feng Haidong was jolted awake by his son's pat and shout. He looked at his son, smiled, and said, "Isn't there a shop that's going to compete with Dad's shop?"
Feng Qifan reached out and took the flyer from his father, looked at it, and said, "Dad, whose shop is this? Why do they sell grilled fish too? Did they steal your grilled fish recipe?"
Feng Haidong laughed as he lifted his son onto the bicycle and said, "Haha, don't worry, they definitely won't be able to steal Dad's recipe, because Dad's secret recipe is all in Dad's head, and they can't learn it."
Upon hearing his father's words, Feng Qifan happily said, "That's good! Dad is definitely the best."
Feng Haidong rode his bicycle, taking his son to his family's restaurant.
On the way, Feng Haidong inquired about the situation at his son's school.
"You took two days off. Will you be able to keep up with your teacher's pace in class today?"
Feng Qifan said, "At first, I was a little distracted during class, but I tried my best to overcome it. After class, I borrowed notes from my classmates and reviewed the lessons the teacher had taught a couple of days ago. Gradually, I understood and stopped getting distracted during class."
Feng Haidong said, "That's good. Dad was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep up, and was thinking of asking Grandma to explain it to you."
Feng Qifan said, "Hehe, Dad, I can do it. If I really don't understand, I will definitely ask the teacher. If I don't understand at school, I will ask Grandma."
After listening to his son's words, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, this method is correct. Try to understand it at school."
Immediately afterwards, Feng Haidong said to his son, "Dad really envies you. I never had such good conditions as you before."
Feng Qifan asked curiously, "Dad, didn't you say before that you were exceptionally smart when you were little? That you could understand everything the teacher said in class right away?"
His son's words made Feng Haidong blush.
These are words that Feng Haidong used to say to his son.
Especially after Feng Haidong got older in his previous life, he would bring up these things from time to time.
Some of this is true, but there's also an element of exaggeration.
Now, after hearing what his son said, Feng Haidong realized that he did have some problems in educating his son in his previous life.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Haidong said, "The courses I took back then were simpler than yours now, so I could probably understand them more easily. But I couldn't always understand them right away. There were some things I had to ask the teacher about and study on my own for a long time before I could fully understand them."
After saying this, Feng Haidong said to his son, "That's why Dad envies you. Besides your school teachers, you also have your grandma to ask when you get home."
Feng Qifan asked, "Dad, didn't your grandparents tell you anything when you were little?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "When I was a child, my grandfather was very busy with work and didn't have the time to patiently explain things to me. As for my grandmother, you know, she could only read. How could she teach me math or anything like that?"
Feng Qifan said, "Dad, you were so amazing when you were little, you learned everything on your own."
Feng Haidong said, "My father didn't have the means to study, so he had to study hard on his own. Maybe because of this, he developed the habit of studying on his own from a young age, which enabled him to complete the self-study exams and obtain a college diploma."
Feng Qifan said, "Dad, I know. I've heard Mom say that you studied very hard for your self-study exams back then."
Feng Haidong continued, "Actually, I have to thank your mother, your maternal grandparents, and your aunt for enabling me to complete the self-study exams and obtain my associate degree."
Feng Qifan asked curiously, "Why?"
Feng Haidong replied, "Because you were already born at that time, and your mother took you to your maternal grandparents' house so as not to disturb your father's exam. You were taken care of by your maternal grandparents and aunt."
These words were never mentioned to his son in his previous life.
However, in this life, Feng Haidong felt he should face these objective factors in front of his son.
He no longer wanted to simply tell his son how hard he worked and how talented he was, like in his previous life.
I also want to tell my son that the success of anything cannot ignore objective factors.
Just like now, Feng Haidong is able to run his restaurant business successfully and gradually promote breeding in the town and village, all thanks to the help of many relatives and friends.
Especially Feng Qifan's grandparents and maternal grandparents, they really helped him so much.
Thinking about all this, Feng Haidong earnestly said to his son, "You must remember that many times you can't do it by yourself alone. You need a lot of people to help you. So when you succeed, never forget those who helped you."
Feng Qifan, seemingly understanding but not quite, turned his head on the bicycle crossbar and looked up at his father.
"Dad, I'll remember."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, just remember it. You'll understand when you grow up."
Feng Haidong rode his bicycle with his son to the restaurant first, waited for the delivery truck to arrive, and after completing the handover with the seafood truck, he took his son back to his parents-in-law's house for lunch.
Since we are reopening after a two-day break, Feng Haidong asked everyone to come to the restaurant this afternoon.
Since he and his son couldn't cook lunch at a restaurant, they went to his parents-in-law's house for lunch and could also tell them about his wife's situation.
In the afternoon, Feng Haidong took his son to school as usual.
I happened to run into Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia, who were also dropping off their daughters, at the school gate.
