The following day, Monday.
Feng Haidong and his wife took their children out together.
When saying goodbye to his wife, Feng Haidong made sure to offer her some heartfelt words of comfort.
"Don't worry, remember what I said. When you get to work, go find Uncle Ding first and see what he says. If Uncle Ding tells you to go back to work, then go back to work. Don't think about anything else and don't say anything else."
Lu Wanling listened to her husband's words and nodded seriously in agreement.
Then, she took her daughter and got into the car driven by her younger brother, Lu Yaobin, who had come to pick her up.
After getting in the car, Lu Wanling looked at her husband, who was pushing a bicycle with their two children, and said, "Please be careful on the road with the children."
Feng Haidong said, "No problem, don't worry."
Lu Yue sat on her uncle's bicycle, waving goodbye to her aunt and father with a smile: "Bye-bye, Auntie. Dad, drive slowly, don't make Auntie and Mengmeng uncomfortable."
Lu Yaobin was both amused and exasperated by his daughter's words: "You silly girl, you really don't trust your dad's driving skills?"
Lu Yue said, "Dad, you're a good driver, so you need to be extra careful."
After being repeatedly warned by his daughter, Lu Yaobin could only say, "Okay, okay, Dad will listen to you. I will drive slowly and make sure your aunt and little sister Mengmeng don't get bumped around."
When Lu Yue saw that her father had agreed, she happily said, "Okay, bye-bye, Dad."
Lu Yaobin said goodbye to his brother-in-law and nephew, and then drove his sister to his parents' house.
After driving for a while, Lu Yaobin saw his brother-in-law riding a bicycle with two children and couldn't help but mutter, "Honestly, these two kids don't want to ride in my car, they insist on riding on my brother-in-law's bicycle."
Lu Wanling was still a little down because she was worried about going back to work.
But upon hearing her brother's complaint, she glanced back at her husband pushing his little niece on his bicycle.
She couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, this means your daughter isn't close to you anymore. You should spend more time with your daughter in the future, instead of always being busy with your own things. Take your daughter out to play more with Xiao Zhou, and let Xiao Zhou and Yueyue spend more time together."
Lu Yaobin reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I understand."
However, Lu Yaobin couldn't help but complain, "It feels like Yueyue is your daughter now."
Lu Wanling smiled knowingly and looked down at her baby daughter in swaddling clothes. The gloom in her heart vanished instantly.
“If you don’t want Yueyue to disturb your time together, then let Yueyue stay with me from now on. Your brother-in-law and I will take care of Yueyue like a daughter. Anyway, we’ll take care of one daughter, so two daughters would be even better.”
Hearing his elder sister's words, Lu Yaobin chuckled and said, "Okay, I think Yueyue likes my brother-in-law quite a bit. From now on, let Yueyue be your daughter."
Lu Wanling said, "As long as you don't regret it."
Lu Yaobin said, "How could I possibly regret it? Don't worry, sister, I absolutely won't regret it."
Seeing her younger brother's firm stance, Lu Wanling said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you're all talk. In the future, Yueyue, you should also pay more attention and remember my words, so that Yueyue and Xiao Zhou can spend more time together."
Lu Yaobin suppressed his smile and said, "I know, I'll let them spend more time together."
Lu Wanling rode in her younger brother's car to her parents' house, leaving her daughter at her parents' house.
Then, with a slightly uneasy feeling, she rushed to her workplace.
Standing in front of the company gate, Lu Wanling still felt somewhat worried.
Just then, Mei Yaqin's voice rang out from behind.
"Oh, Wanling, you, you've finally come to work!"
Hearing Mei Yaqin's voice, Lu Wanling turned around and saw Mei Yaqin pushing her bicycle towards her.
Lu Wanling greeted her with a smile: "Sister Mei."
Mei Yaqin quickly stepped forward and said, "Wanling, where have you been for the past six months? I didn't even see you during the few days of the New Year. I called your home but no one answered. I took my family to a restaurant in Haidong, but I only saw Haidong and didn't see you at all."
Lu Wanling said shyly, "I was traveling around for the rest of last year. I spent the few days of the Spring Festival at home with my parents, and I also went to the provincial capital several times with Fanfan's father."
Mei Yaqin asked, "Wanling, I heard that your family's Haidong has a very big business in the provincial capital?"
Lu Wanling quickly said, "It's not that big! Sister Mei, who told you this? It's just a small shop, and it was all started with the help of his older cousin and her husband in the provincial capital."
This was the explanation that Feng Haidong, his wife, and his family had always agreed upon.
Feng Haidong was well aware of the jealousy that some outsiders harbored.
If people found out that he opened a shop in the provincial capital and that he funded it all himself, it would definitely make many people jealous.
So when the family members bring up this matter, they all give the same answer: Feng Haidong helped open a shop at his cousin's house in the provincial capital.
This explanation is acceptable to most people.
Mei Yaqin felt much better after hearing this, and then said, "Oh, I see. I was wondering why. Your Haidong has really made a lot of money. He's better at stock trading than Yaorong and I. He was able to open a shop in the provincial capital in no time."
Hearing Mei Yaqin say this, Lu Wanling felt truly fortunate that her husband had been so prescient.
She smiled and said to Mei Yaqin, "Sister Mei, don't you know Feng Haidong? He managed to make his restaurant successful because he seized the opportunity. He started it up when there were no crayfish restaurants around here, and later he also started grilled fish and barbecue, which are all relatively fresh things."
