Chapter 23 Nutrient Solution Update ~ Paying Off Debts "I'm going to... tomorrow...
The Feng family's old house is located in a rare, tree-lined villa area. The architectural style of the Chinese garden is unique and displays the beauty of classicism.
Feng Ci didn't tell anyone about his return to the old house, but as soon as he arrived at the door, the housekeeper Uncle Jiang was already waiting there.
Uncle Jiang was particularly surprised by Feng Ci's arrival: "Young Master, you're back."
"Uncle Jiang, I came back to get something." Feng Ci didn't want to exchange pleasantries. "Please give me the key to my mother's room."
Uncle Jiang said softly, "Young Master, the key to Madam's room is in the gentleman's safe. Do you need me to contact the gentleman for you?"
Feng Ci paused for a moment, "No need, I'll contact them."
It was late at night in Canada at this time. Feng Ci dialed for a long time before Feng Chen's slightly tired voice came from the phone.
"Originally, your mother and I had booked flights back home for the day before yesterday, but your mother's condition suddenly worsened, so our return trip had to be postponed for now."
Feng Chen rubbed his brow and said, "Xiao Ci, remember to explain to the child's mother that your mother and I didn't mean to neglect her."
Feng Ci pursed his lips and said softly, "Dad, I called you today because I want to ask you for something."
"Are you out of money?" Feng Chen said knowingly, "You've realized how hard it is to raise a child."
"...No." Feng Ci held the phone, "I want to borrow the jewelry in Mom's room."
Feng Chen: "For the child's mother?"
Feng Chen kept talking about the child and the child's mother. Feng Ci felt very tired: "Dad, just decide whether to give it to me or not."
"You bastard." Feng Chen cursed, "The password to the safe is your birthday, go get it yourself!"
Feng Ci stood there in a daze for a long time. His birthday?
He wanted to call back to confirm whether he had made a mistake, but there was a secret expectation in his heart.
Feng Ci successfully took out the key from the safe and opened the door to his mother's room.
Old people tend to talk a lot. Uncle Jiang followed beside him and kept chattering: "Madam doesn't allow us to touch anything in the room. Everything in the room is still as it was. That cabinet is full of the young lady's clothes and jewelry."
Uncle Jiang was very emotional. Four years had passed in a flash. If the young lady had not died young, the family would have been so lively.
Feng Ci looked at this huge and empty house, lost in thought for a moment, his sneakers making a dull friction sound on the ground.
His impression of his sister was that of a wrinkled little bitter melon. Because of her congenital heart disease, the whole family revolved around her. She was very crybaby and spoiled, and she took away all the love and attention of her parents.
Feng Ci found Little Bitter Melon a bit annoying.
Everything about Little Bitter Melon was left in this room. There was a photo album on the bed, which should have been what the mother looked at while sitting on the bed before going abroad.
He should have turned a blind eye, but his feet somehow walked over, picked up the album and opened it.
What came into view was a child wearing a bee suit, a little skinny, with big blue eyes.
Feng Ci recognized it. This was a full-moon photo of Xiao Kugua. The brother and sister and their mother all inherited their grandmother's blue eyes. The grandmother was a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, but unfortunately she died early.
Looking at it again after four years, Feng Ci felt that Little Bitter Melon didn't look like an old lady anymore. She was fair and tender, and quite cute.
Feng Ci continued to flip through the pages, his birth, full month, one year old, schooling, travels, his figure almost filled the entire thick album, and the memories of little bitter melon could be seen at a glance.
His slightly cool fingertips stroked the little person in the photo. If she grew up on time, maybe she could become good friends with Berry.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Feng Ci put down the photo album and opened his mother's safe using Xiao Kugua's birthday.
Uncle Jiang didn't ask what the jewelry was for, but simply suggested, "Young Master, let Lao Zhang take you back."
After all, the jewelry was valuable, so Feng Ci did not refuse Jiang Bo's arrangement and had his driver and bodyguard personally send him back.
Feng Ci packed up several sets of Siheyuan houses and brought them back in boxes. Aunt Luo realized their value at a glance and consciously avoided any possibility of touching them.
As soon as the door of the guest room opened, "Welcome~home~"
Each of them stood straight with a stick, and the baby voices that Berry pulled out were particularly emotional.
Feng Ci glanced at her calmly and said, "Did you go to Haidilao for further training, or did you go to Tai Er Pickled Fish to learn from them?"
Meiguo opened her arms and rushed over: "Brother Feng, I missed you so much."
She is only three years old, but she has mastered the art of flattery so well. In the future, she will either be a profiteer or a corrupt official.
Feng Ci felt it necessary to provide guidance and correction, so he bent down and arranged the jewelry boxes one by one and opened them one by one.
The plain funeral-style room suddenly became glittering and looked brand new.
Wow ovo
“So many gems!”
Meiguo was almost blinded by the jewels and asked with admiration, "Brother Feng, are you a profiteer?"
Her grandmother told her that apart from the king, profiteers own the most gems in the world, and profiteers are the richest people!
Feng Ci pinched the heartless man's mouth: "You are the profiteer, you are the most cunning profiteer."
No one had ever gotten so many jewels from him for free, and even this couldn't shut her up.
Berry: Hehehe.
"All the jewels are here. There are no more."
Feng Ci cast a cold, sharp gaze at Xiu Xiu, "This won't happen again. If you cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself again, I'll use you like a firewood stick and a rolling pin."
Shivering sob:o((⊙﹏⊙))o.
"Remember, I saved your stick's life."
He turned to look at Berry again: "And you."
"From now on, whenever I recite my lessons, you'll recite your magic book." His cold expression was like that of a headmaster wielding a ruler. "Otherwise, no matter how you want to do it, I won't bother with you."
Berry touched the small bud on his head guiltily: "I know."
The little witch, who once again absorbed the energy of the gem, was radiant and full of energy like a peach about to burst with juice. The salted fish that was deeply bound to the berry turned over and became a mini broom the size of a pencil.
Now no one can force it to sweep the floor.
After Meiguo returned the jewelry, Feng Ci carefully checked it and found no damage. The only change was that the luster had dimmed visibly.
Feng Ci did some calculations in his mind. If he wanted to raise the little witch and her stick for a long time, then he would need at least a mine.
A mine...
mine……
Feng Ci wiped his face, looking confused.

Every time the seasons change, the flu is most rampant. Aunt Luo was unfortunately infected. In order not to infect Feng Ci and Meiguo, she asked Feng Ci for three days of sick leave, which happened to be from Friday to Sunday.
Feng Ci cannot bring Meiguo to school, and it is difficult to get leave during this period close to the college entrance examination, so he has to ask Feng Chen for help.
Feng Chen: "Is the child sick?"
"No." Feng Ci explained the general situation again, "Sorry to bother you, Dad."
Feng Chen: "That's perfect, you should go see your grandparents. They miss you. By the way, it's also a good opportunity for the child to meet the elders."
Feng Chen's words could not be disputed. Under normal circumstances, Feng Ci would ignore them, but who told him to ask his father for help now?
Feng Ci hung up the phone and started packing his luggage.
Grandpa Feng Ci had no talent for business and liked to write poetry, which led to the Feng family, which had already begun to decline, falling into decline after he took over. Fortunately, he had a son who was a business genius, and that man was Feng Ci's father, Feng Chen.
Feng Chen single-handedly turned the tide and the Feng family was able to regain its glory.
Being a spendthrift is a cycle. Feng Ci felt a little sympathetic towards Feng Chen. He was not as good as his grandfather. After all, the old man was a well-known master in the calligraphy world, while he was just a poor student.
Grandpa Feng Ci retired early. After realizing what an awesome son he had, he packed up his belongings and left overnight, taking his wife with him to travel around. Finally, the two old men found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and fresh air and retired to the mountains.
The place was quite far away and it would take a whole day to drive there and back. Feng Ci thought of taking the children there for a vacation and coming back on the weekend.
You must bring baby cream, shower gel, shampoo, and children's toothpaste. You can buy slippers and towels locally. You cannot go to see the elders empty-handed, you must bring some gifts.
Feng Ci took Meiguo to the shopping mall downstairs to buy gifts. Feng Ci was concentrating on picking tea leaves when he suddenly heard the chattering of children.
He glanced sideways and saw, oh, it was the twin sisters.
Meiguo held each sister's hand and said, "Sister Hanhan, Sister Rongrong, I can't play with you tomorrow. You can think about me in your mind."
"Why can't we play anymore?"
Berry: "Because Brother Feng is going to take me to brag tomorrow."
"ah?"
"Where are you going to blow it? Can't you blow it here?"
"No, I have to go somewhere far away to brag." Meiguo said seriously, with her round belly sticking out. "I'll be back when I'm done bragging. You guys just wait for me."
Feng Ci appeared silently and tapped the child on the head: "What are you bragging about? It's a spring outing."
His reputation was damaged by a moment of carelessness. Fortunately, he is here, otherwise I don’t know how it would be spread tomorrow.
Meiguo was so excited that she was going on a long trip the next day and insisted that Fengci coax her to sleep tonight.
Feng Ci put down the half-finished test paper, lay down on the bed in a spread-eagle position, and imagined himself as a giant pillow.
A little moonlight shone into the dark room. Feng Ci half-closed his eyes and watched the fat loach rolling around on his arm.
"Brother Feng, Aunt Luo can tell a lot of stories, can you?"
"Won't."
"Great, I can't either." Berry put her ear to his and giggled softly, "Then we can talk in private."
Feng Ci: "Are you not sleepy anymore? Then I'll get up."
"Don't get up." Berry transformed into a koala and clung to him, pretending to close her eyes. "I'm going to sleep."
Feng Ci, whose neck was locked, squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "You'd better."
He waited quietly for a while, and the child's even breathing hit his face, indicating that he must have fallen asleep.
Feng Ci slowly untied the little hands wrapped around his neck and turned over to take a nap.
The child's voice sounded faintly from behind him: "Brother Feng, I want you to have a decent head."
!!!
Feng Ci half-sat up: "Weren't you asleep?"
"I'm about to fall asleep."
Feng Ci bit his cheek and said, "I'll trust you again."
He lay down again facing Mei Guo. This time the child stopped making trouble and soon began to snore. Feng Ci felt relieved and slowly closed his eyes.
Two minutes later, Feng Ci opened his eyes suddenly and turned his head to meet the big, shining eyes.
This time he was really irritated by the dishonest little brat, and glared at her fiercely: "What on earth do you want to do?"
If I pluck out one of his armpit hairs, whether it hurts or not is another matter. He only has so many hairs that he can't stand it.
Meiguo shrank her hands and pouted, saying, "I want to help you tie up Jieli's hair."
"Don't be busy when you should be busy, don't be busy when you shouldn't be busy, go to sleep!"
