Ring ring.
A sudden, urgent phone call drew the attention of Feng Haidong and his family of three away from the television.
This is the fifth phone call I've received tonight.
Feng Qifan's performance on Children's Day was a great success.
Meanwhile, thanks to the television report, Feng Haidong and his son Feng Qifan suddenly became famous.
After the news report on TV tonight, Feng Haidong's phone was almost ringing off the hook.
After watching the news report on TV, almost all of our relatives and friends called to inquire about the situation.
Feng Haidong and his wife exchanged a glance, then asked with a smile, "Guess who's calling? Which of us should answer it?"
Lu Wanling also said with a big smile, "No matter who is calling, I think you should answer it, because everyone will definitely want to chat with you for a bit, after all, you are a representative of outstanding students' parents."
Feng Haidong was both amused and exasperated by his wife's teasing, saying, "Why are you teasing me too? The news reports didn't say I was a representative of outstanding student parents, they just said I was one of the parents present. Don't just give me that title."
Lu Wanling said with a smile, "Our son is so outstanding, of course you are the parent of an outstanding student."
At this moment, Feng Qifan stood up and said, "Then I'll take it."
Seeing this, Feng Haidong said, "Okay, then let our outstanding student take over."
Feng Qifan ran to the telephone, picked up the receiver, and put it to his ear: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
A voice immediately came from the other end of the phone asking, "Is this Fanfan? This is your aunt."
Feng Qifan responded, "Auntie, did you just see the news on TV? Why did you call looking for my dad?"
The person on the other end of the phone was Feng Haidong's sister, Feng Yunlan.
Upon hearing her nephew's words, Feng Yunlan laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, Auntie just saw the news and wanted to call to congratulate you and Dad. It's really amazing that you were on TV."
Feng Qifan said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll let Dad answer the phone."
Feng Yunlan said, "Okay, let your dad pick him up."
Feng Qifan immediately shouted, "Dad, answer the phone! It's Auntie on the phone!"
Lu Wanling smiled and said to her husband, "See? I knew it was for you, so it was right to let you pick it up."
Helpless, Feng Haidong could only walk over and take the phone from his son.
On the other end of the phone, the younger sister congratulated Feng Haidong again and also asked him for advice on raising children.
After listening, Feng Haidong said, "Yunlan, isn't your Xuxu only in first grade? There's no need to be in such a hurry. Just let Xuxu develop freely for now. Those things in the news are just polite words. You can't force children too much; you have to guide them."
Then Feng Haidong talked to his sister about many issues related to children's education.
Many of these ideas were quite advanced, which meant that the younger sister couldn't fully understand them at first.
After discussing the children's studies, Feng Yunlan asked, "Second brother, I heard from Mom and Dad that you're running your own business now?"
Feng Haidong replied, "Yes, it's been a month already, and business is going well."
Feng Yunlan hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Second brother, running a business is quite hard work. You and your wife should take care of yourselves too."
Feng Haidong said, "I know. For now, your sister-in-law is still working. I'm busy with the business by myself. We plan to find a storefront and officially open a shop when Fanfan is on summer vacation. Then you and Yongwu can bring Xuxu to our shop to try our food."
Feng Yunlan was genuinely surprised; she hadn't expected her second brother to be opening a shop so soon.
Feng Yunlan works in a textile factory, but the factory has been unable to pay wages recently, and the factory's situation is very bad.
However, Feng Yunlan's husband works at the district court, so he is able to support the family.
During this period, Feng Yunlan was quite troubled by work, so she did not go back to town to see her parents, let alone check on her siblings.
If Feng Yunlan hadn't seen her second brother and nephew on the news today, she wouldn't have remembered to make that call.
After making the call, Feng Yunlan learned that her second brother had been running his own business for over a month and was even planning to officially open a store.
Feng Yunlan couldn't help but feel that she didn't even recognize this second brother.
Think about it, there are six siblings in my family.
The older brother and younger brother work in the same company, and now their factory is not doing well.
My eldest sister farms in the countryside, which is a relatively stable life for her.
My second sister and brother-in-law now work in a transportation business in another city and rarely come home. The family doesn't know much about their situation.
Although Feng Haidong was the fourth child in his family, he was the second oldest among the boys, so Feng Yunlan and her younger brother always called him "Second Brother".
In Feng Yunlan's memory, her second brother was the one who resembled their father the most in the family. This was because her second brother, like their father, loved the arts, and he was indeed talented in the arts. From a young age, he was good at singing and performing opera, and he also had a very good golden voice.
Whether in the countryside or later in the factory, my second brother was always the main force in propaganda.
When Feng Haidong published an article in the newspaper, Feng Yunlan wasn't even surprised.
But today, when Feng Yunlan learned that her second brother was actually running his own business and was even planning to open a shop during the summer vacation, she was truly surprised.
While surprised, Feng Yunlan still earnestly reminded him, "Second brother, since your business is doing well now, you should still make the most of it. Opening a shop requires a lot of capital, so you must think it through carefully and don't rush into opening a shop."
Feng Haidong understood that his sister was genuinely worried about him, fearing that he might rush into opening a shop and end up losing money.
Although Feng Haidong's siblings don't visit each other very often.
However, when something happens, they will help each other if they can.
So even though the relationship between siblings may seem distant, they always think about each other.
Feng Haidong said earnestly, "Yunlan, don't worry. Your second brother is definitely not the kind of person who acts rashly. I will only do things if I am confident. Your textile factory is not doing well now, is it? If your textile factory fails in the end, you can come to your second brother's shop. Your second brother will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Feng Yunlan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then finally replied, "Okay, second brother. If I need anything, I'll come to see you. Please give my regards to my sister-in-law. When I have a holiday, I'll bring Xuxu to visit you and my sister-in-law."
Feng Haidong smiled and agreed, "Okay, when Xuxu is on summer vacation, the three of you can come and visit."
After hanging up the phone with his sister, Feng Haidong suddenly realized that when the big wave came, he and his wife's siblings would not be able to avoid work-related problems.
Feng Haidong couldn't help but think that he needed to speed up his progress, make sufficient preparations, ensure his own family's safety, and help his brothers and sisters as much as possible.
