Reborn 92's Business Tycoon - Chapter 605: A lively trip

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: A lively trip

Out of good wishes for the new year, people who need to go out and work will usually choose to travel on the sixth or eighth day of the lunar year, and this year is no exception.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, when Feng Jiachong was still enveloped in the aroma of food and drink, one after the other, more than twenty cars of all sizes were parked on the road in front of the village.

Almost everyone in the village was crowded on both sides of the road. The mother carried the luggage of her children and helped them get into the car, while the father, with a cigarette in his mouth and a string of firecrackers in his hand, stood on one side, happily watching the scene in front of him.

No matter what the era or age, mothers’ words of advice before departure are always indispensable. However, they are different from what they used to say when they sent their children out to work. Back then, their children went out without a fixed place to go, and they could only find work there.

Now, this group of people going out are either running businesses or working in various companies in Jiasheng, which is stable and safe. Mothers generally only have two things to say: one is to work hard and not to get into trouble, and the other is to save money.

Mei Qiuping is the same. Although she has nothing to worry about, she still drags her children along and gives them a lecture. Feng Yuxuan immediately gets impatient and gets into the car as soon as she hears her mother talking about her again. ‘Can’t you let me have a few days off, even if it’s just for a little while?’

If it weren’t for the fact that it’s still the sixth day of the lunar year and there are so many people around, Mei Qiuping really wants to slap her across the face. This child, she’s 24 years old this year, and she’s still not worried about herself?

Fortunately, her son is a relief to her. She helped Feng Yiping fix his collar. ‘Mom doesn’t have much to tell you, just one thing: no matter how busy you are, don’t tire yourself out. Remember?’

‘Mom, how could I be tired? Look at me, I’m taller and stronger every year,’

‘I know if you’re tired or not,’ Mei Qiuping said.

In front of her was such a rich and lively scene, and the village had changed so much. Although everyone attributed the credit to her and Feng Zhenchang, she knew that without her son, it would have been impossible to bring about such earth-shaking changes in just a few years. She was afraid that, just like before, some families still did not have enough money to buy New Year’s goods.

‘Yes, Mom, I remember!’ Feng Yiping nodded. ‘You and Dad, when you have time, take Grandpa and go to the capital for a while.’

‘We’ll definitely go in the first half of the year,’

They already knew that their son was going to the US as an exchange student. Although they would be far away by then, they still thought it was commendable, and Feng Zhenchang and she were both very supportive.

However, Feng Yiping said that there was a possibility that he wouldn’t have time to come back for the Chinese New Year this year. Naturally, they wanted to spend more time with their son before he left for the US.

‘Get in the car. This year, both of you, be safe!’

Nowadays, she doesn’t care about anything else, as long as her two children are safe.

‘You and Dad are the same. Mom, I’m getting on the bus,’

Feng Yuxuan also reminded Mei Qiuping at this time, ‘Mom, I don’t think you can change your hot-tempered nature, but remember what I said: when you wake up, don’t get up too quickly, just lie in bed for a few minutes first,’

Mei Qiuping and the others now have medical check-ups twice a year. Feng Zhenchang is fine in every way, and she is actually also fine, except that her blood pressure is a little high.

Before going home, Feng Yuxuan collected some information and consulted several doctors, listing for her mother what foods she needs to avoid and what things she needs to pay attention to in her daily life.

Feng Hongbing’s mother also finished giving her son his instructions and walked to the front row, ‘Yiping, Yuxuan, you grew up together as children, please take care of Hongbing a little more,’

‘Don’t worry, sister-in-law,’ Feng Yuxuan said, “Hongbing is very capable now, you don’t need to worry,’

while Feng Hongbing, sitting in the back of the minivan with Feng Wen and Feng Wen’s parents, looked at Liu Yuanyuan, who was also in the car—the eldest of the two Feng sisters, the nieces of Feng Jiansheng, the neighbour’s son. He smiled at her and looked a little embarrassed, so he called out, “Mom, you can go back,’

His mother stepped aside, and Feng Wen’s mother took her place again. ‘Yiping, Yuxuan, Feng Wen, you should also help out a bit. If you don’t work hard, you should be punished and scolded. If you’re embarrassed, just tell me, and I’ll tell your father to scold you,’

Feng Yiping heard, and thought, ‘Why does this sound so familiar? It seems that when I was dropped off at school, my father said something similar to the homeroom teacher.

Feng Wen was not as worried as Feng Hongbing, and said with a smile, ‘I work very hard, don’t you think so, Yiping?’

Finally, Feng Jiasheng’s wife could not help but give a few words of advice, ‘Yiping, Yuxuan, Yuanyuan and Dandan, one is in the provincial capital and one is in the capital city, so you two still need to help look after them a bit. They are both hardworking, but they are just too honest. If you have time, help to remind them a bit,’

‘Of course,’ Feng Yiping said.

‘Auntie, don’t worry, Yiping and the others take good care of us,’ Liu Dandan said.

‘Then you must remember to treat the company’s business as if it were your own,’

The adults’ exhortations finally came to an end. Feng Zhenchang was the first to light the firecrackers that Wenhua had picked up on a bamboo pole. It was like a signal. The fathers by the roadside lit the firecrackers with the cigarettes they were holding. In an instant, dozens of firecrackers exploded at the same time, absolutely more lively than the morning of the New Year’s Eve.

Feng Yiping waved to the parents by the roadside, but all he could see was their mouths moving as they said something, but he couldn’t hear a word. However, their faces were all beaming with happiness.

The parents, along with the young people who worked in the village and town, didn’t start walking home until the convoy had disappeared over the hill behind the village office. They could still relax for a couple of days, as the factories in the village and town didn’t start work until the eighth day of the Chinese New Year.

When he got home, Feng Weidong told his wife, ‘There are some things you don’t understand. In the future, don’t let Yiping and Yuxuan take care of Hongbing in front of them,’

‘Why not?’ Feng Hongbing’s mother was unconvinced. ‘They have been neighbours since they were children. Hongbing has done well in the past two years. Why can’t they take care of him and promote him to supervisor?’

‘That’s why you don’t understand, woman. Not to mention that Yiping is now in charge of such a big company, even our winery, everything must be done according to the rules. You understand?’

‘I don’t understand. All I know is that since Yiping is the boss, he can’t make decisions on such matters?’

Feng Jiasheng felt that he could not get through to his wife on this issue. ‘In short, in the future, in front of them, say less of this kind of thing. Yiping and the others are all people who remember the old days. They will definitely take care of you when the time is right. But if you keep saying this, it’s like you’re pushing them, do you understand?’

…

Today is the sixth day of the lunar year, and there are still many New Year visitors. Uncle Si’s brother-in-law came early in the morning. On the second day of the lunar year, his son and daughter came to pay New Year’s visits. Besides, there is no reason for a brother to pay New Year’s visits to his sister and her husband. Uncle Si and his wife are also confused about what he wants.

He wouldn’t borrow money, either, as his family was doing well.

Xiao Mengqi thought about what had just happened and really felt jealous. After drinking a cup of strong tea, he told his sister and brother-in-law the reason for his visit, ‘The eldest daughter of Brother Zhenchang’s family has not yet been betrothed, has she?’

‘No,’ said Uncle Si, unconcerned. A few days ago, he had helped Feng Yuxuan with her decision, too. “Yuxuan has kept saying that she’s in no hurry, but I think she’s just being picky,’

‘So what do you think of Guofu?” Xiao Mengqi said, referring to his son.

Uncle Si was momentarily stunned, a little taken aback. “Guofu?” he asked, raising his voice.

Fourth Aunt, who was busy preparing the food for the guests at noon, also came over when she heard her brother’s words.

Uncle Si placed the teapot on the brick by the fire pit and said, ‘Just forget about your abacus. Don’t count on it,’

Li Mengqi didn’t expect his brother-in-law to be so resolute. “Guofu is not bad,’

When she heard this, Auntie Si was also a little moved. “Yes, Guofu is two years older than Yuxuan, he is well-mannered and honest. Don’t say it, I think he is OK,’

‘Okay? What’s the use of good looks? Honest, how honest? Don’t butt in, go make dinner,’

‘Tell me what’s wrong,’ Auntie Four muttered, but at home, Uncle Four was always the authority, and Auntie Four really couldn’t make up her mind.

‘Guofu didn’t graduate from junior high, did he?’ Uncle Four asked.

‘Yes, and the girl from Brother San’s family didn’t graduate from junior high either,’

‘So, because the family couldn’t afford it at the time, we said that now, Yuxuan manages hundreds of stores and has more than 20 college students working for her, while Guofu is still working in the south.

So, no matter what you’re thinking, don’t even think about it, let alone mention it. To be honest, I’ll tell Lao San and let him find Guofu a job in the province,’

Li Mengqi tried to argue, but Fourth Uncle waved him off, saying, ‘Don’t say anything, and I don’t want to hear it. If you came here for this, just go home. Remember this: keep this to yourself, don’t tell anyone, and don’t cause any gossip.’

Li Mengqi walked away in a daze. Fourth Uncle whispered to Fourth Aunt, ‘Your brother has lost his mind, and you’ve gone along with it, haven’t you?’
