Feng Haidong made arrangements for things in the provincial capital and confirmed that his wife was fine in the hospital.
My older cousin and her husband led the staff to do the final finishing touches at the store.
At the end of the month, he chose to go home.
Feng Haidong's trip home was not because something had happened at home, nor was it just to pick up relatives and friends to attend the opening of his new store in the provincial capital on New Year's Day.
Feng Haidong's main purpose in returning home was to attend his son's New Year's Day performance.
After being recommended by his school and going through several rounds of selection, Feng Qifan won the opportunity to participate in the New Year's Day performance on television.
The city TV station's New Year's Eve gala was pre-recorded, so Feng Qifan's official performance was on the second-to-last day of December.
Upon receiving the notification, Feng Haidong immediately began making arrangements.
I'm planning to go see my son's performance live.
And after his son's performance, he will pick up his son and parents together and take them to the provincial capital to attend the opening of his new store on New Year's Day.
Feng Haidong returned home the day before his son's performance.
Instead of visiting his son at his parents-in-law's house, he went to his brother-in-law Lu Yaobin and asked him to drive to town to pick up his parents.
The grandparents were naturally very happy to learn that their grandson was going to participate in a television performance.
They traveled to the city together with Feng Haidong, who arranged for his parents to stay at his home.
"Mom and Dad, you two rest at home first. My family's restaurant should be opening soon, so I'll go check it out. I'll be back tonight, and we can talk about it then."
Looking at her son's energetic manner, Feng Chungu nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, remember to eat something."
Liu Guifang said, "Yes, Haidong, don't be so busy that you forget to eat."
Feng Haidong remembered that his parents hadn't eaten either: "Mom and Dad, how about we go to a restaurant together? You haven't eaten either, have you? We can eat something at a restaurant tonight."
But her parents refused.
The father said, "We'll just cook some noodles at home. Your mother and I are getting old, so we can't eat anything too oily at night, and we don't eat much anyway. You go ahead, but don't drink alcohol tonight."
Mother also said, "Yes, yes, we'll just have some noodles for dinner. You go ahead and do it yourself."
Feng Haidong pleaded repeatedly, but his parents insisted on not going, so he had no choice but to give up.
I went out and bought some fresh bok choy from Sister Liu at the market, along with some eggs and noodles, and then delivered them to my parents' home.
After making sure his parents had something to eat that evening, Feng Haidong rushed to the restaurant near his home.
The restaurant was still very lively.
When Feng Haidong arrived, there was already a line of people at the entrance.
To Feng Haidong's surprise, his brother-in-law Lu Yaorong and Mei Yaqin were also there.
However, they no longer have that same high spirits they once had.
Entering December, due to the overheated stock market, a number of policies were introduced in an effort to cool it down, finally bringing an end to the bull market that had lasted for almost a year.
Although Feng Haidong was in the provincial capital and was very busy, he still kept an eye on things.
After entering December, he kept calling home, urging his brother-in-law Lu Yaorong to leave as soon as possible.
Just like in his previous life, Lu Yaorong, caught up in the situation, never heeded Feng Haidong's advice.
In the end, Feng Haidong had no choice but to call Mei Yaqin.
He explained all the pros and cons to Mei Yaqin and repeatedly emphasized to her that she should pull Lu Yaorong away from the scene.
As Feng Haidong stepped into the restaurant with these thoughts in mind, he was immediately spotted by Mei Yaqin and the others. Mei Yaqin waved to him and called Feng Haidong over.
When Feng Haidong walked up to their table.
Mei Yaqin immediately said, "Haidong, thank you so much. If you hadn't kept calling to tell me, Yaorong and I would have been completely finished. After months of hard work, we almost didn't make it out."
Although Mei Yaqin and Lu Yaorong did not completely heed Feng Haidong's words.
They still lost some money because of their greed.
However, he managed to exit the market successfully, without losing all the money he had earned and the principal he had invested over the past six months.
So today, as the year draws to a close, Mei Yaqin invited Lu Yaorong and a few others who trade stocks together to have a small get-together. Everyone was still sighing about the market situation this month at the end of the year.
Lu Yaorong looked at his brother-in-law, stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I really admire you. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have made it out of this."
Feng Haidong waved his hand and said, "Remember that saying: the stock market is risky, and investment requires caution."
Mei Yaqin said, "Yes, yes, Haidong is absolutely right. In just one month, I have truly witnessed the real risks."
Feng Haidong turned to Chen Zhiyong and said, "Dayong, bring me a bottle of wine."
Chen Zhiyong quickly brought over some wine for Feng Haidong.
Feng Haidong opened the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone at the table. He also took the wine glass that Chen Zhiyong handed him and poured himself a glass.
Then Feng Haidong raised his glass and said, "Alright, there are only two more days until the end of this year. Let's drink this glass, put aside all the good and bad of this year, and welcome the new year together."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's words, everyone immediately stood up and raised their glasses.
At that moment, the other customers at the restaurant also stood up and raised their glasses.
"Boss, take us with you! Let's drink to this and welcome the New Year together."
Feng Haidong turned to look at the others, smiled, and said, "Thank you all for coming. I really appreciate your support of my little restaurant. I hope everyone will have a better year ahead."
