After lunch, Feng Haidong had gotten both of his brothers-in-law quite drunk.
There was no other way but to arrange for the two brothers-in-law to sleep in the house that Feng Haidong rented near the shop.
Fang Jianxing woke up relatively early, and after checking the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.
He quickly tidied himself up and headed straight for Feng Haidong's shop.
As a result, Fang Jianxing had drunk too much when he came to rent a room from the store and was brought here by Feng Haidong and the others. Now, although he has indeed sobered up, he is not familiar with the roads in the provincial capital and cannot find his way back for a while.
Fortunately, the noise Fang Jianxing made after hurriedly washing up and leaving the house woke Ma Bangcheng up.
Ma Bangcheng followed closely behind Fang Jianxing and also came out of the room rented by Feng Haidong.
When they caught up with him at the intersection, they saw Fang Jianxing looking completely lost and unsure of which way to go.
Ma Bangcheng stepped forward and pulled Fang Jianxing aside, saying, "Jianxing, can't find your way to the store?"
Fang Jianxing was startled at first, then turned around and saw that it was Ma Bangcheng. He quickly said, "Hey, brother-in-law, where should I go? I really can't find the way."
Ma Bangcheng said, "It's alright, Jianxing, you don't come to the provincial capital often, so it's normal that you don't know the way. Come on, I'll take you to the store."
Fang Jianxing and Ma Bangcheng crossed several intersections before finally finding their way back to Feng Haidong's shop.
Upon seeing Feng Haidong's shop, Fang Jianxing couldn't help but ask, "Haidong, really, why is your rented place so far from the shop?"
Ma Bangcheng said, "Jianxing, this store in Haidong is too close to the pedestrian street. There are almost no houses available for rent around it, and the rents are quite high. The house we came to is a bit far from the store, but the rent there is cheaper and the place is bigger."
Fang Jianxing thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's right, brother-in-law. Do you and your cousin live there too?"
Ma Bangcheng nodded: "Yes, we usually live with Haidong and my younger brother and sister-in-law's son, Xiaowu, in the house that Haidong rents."
Fang Jianxing said, "That's good too. When you finish your business at night, you can look out for each other on the way back. I wonder when Haidong will be able to make enough money to buy such a big house."
Ma Bangcheng said, "Actually, it's not that difficult. Judging from the current profits of doing business in Haidong, it should be possible to buy it in a few years."
Fang Jianxing said, "Hai Dong is really capable."
Ma Bangcheng agreed: "Yes, Hai Dong is indeed very capable."
The two brothers-in-law chatted as they returned to the shop.
When Feng Haidong saw his two brothers-in-law enter, he quickly invited them to sit down and had someone pour them some water.
"Brother-in-law, you should both have some water. We did let you two drink a bit too much at noon."
Fang Jianxing took the water glass and said with a smile, "I'm fine. That little bit of wine is nothing. My brother-in-law's alcohol tolerance is barely acceptable, but my cousin's brother-in-law probably drank a bit too much."
Ma Bangcheng said, "I did drink a bit too much. I can't drink like this with you guys anymore."
The eldest cousin, Liu Fenzhen, came out and, upon hearing her husband's words, was equally blunt.
"You know that too? How old are you? Still trying to outdrink Haidong and the others. Can someone your age really outdrink them?"
Feng Haidong quickly said, "Sister, don't talk about your husband. Actually, I really can't drink. He could drink a lot when he was young. He's just getting older now. We should all drink less in the future."
Liu Fenzhen nodded and said, "Haidong is right. We should drink less alcohol in the future."
Fang Jianxing took a few sips of water, looked around, and asked, "Where's Hongwei? We're getting ready to go back."
Liu Fenzhen said, "What's the rush? Sit down and drink some water, then you can leave later."
Fang Jianxing said, "Big Cousin is really not up to it. We need to go straight back to town. Hongwei has worked very hard driving. If we go any later, it will probably be dark by the time we get back."
At this moment, Fang Hongwei also came out from inside.
"Uncle Jianxing, are we going back now?"
Fang Jianxing said with a smile, "Yeah, we're going back now. You don't mean you don't want to go back, do you?"
Fang Hongwei said, "No, no, I've been waiting for you to come back, Uncle Jianxing. If you're not feeling well, you can go back first by yourself."
Fang Jianxing said, "It's alright, the little bit of alcohol we had at noon is nothing. Let's go, let's set off now."
Fang Hongwei said, "Okay, let's go then."
Feng Haidong also agreed to let Fang Hongwei and his brother-in-law go back first.
He got them two packs of cigarettes and bottled water from the grocery store next door so they could drink and smoke while walking.
Then, Feng Haidong personally escorted his brother-in-law and Fang Hongwei to the hotel and into their car.
Watching them get into the car, Feng Haidong said to Fang Hongwei, "Drive slowly on the way back, don't rush, be careful, and make sure you've packed the money. Don't take it out when you get back."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jianxing asked, "Haidong, why are you giving Hongwei the money? Didn't we agree that I would give him the money when I got back?"
Feng Haidong said, "Brother-in-law, don't be so polite with me. You've already worked so hard, and I can't let Hongwei make a wasted trip. Otherwise, how could I ask Hongwei to deliver goods for me again?"
At this point, Feng Haidong said to Fang Hongwei, "Hongwei, from now on, just do as I say. You deliver it directly to me every time. Don't let your uncle give you money. I'll give you the money when it arrives at my place, understand?"
Fang Hongwei naturally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Uncle Haidong, I understand."
Fang Jianxing wanted to compete, but Feng Haidong stopped him.
"Alright, brother-in-law, stop arguing with me. Let's do it this way."
