Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 243: Thinking every day and dreaming at night

When it was time to get off work, Wang Ming came up and Jiang Feng went to get some things. He had one more bag than when he came, which was filled with some local specialties. Wang Ming helped to put all the things into the car. Jiang Feng took out a small bag from the bag, which also contained some cakes and other things. He was going to dinner tonight, so he brought some gifts.

Minister Wang was also sitting in the car. When he saw what Jiang Feng was holding, he didn't say anything. Minister Wang treated Jiang Feng the same way he treated He Yuzhu in the drama, just as a junior. It was normal for juniors to bring some small things when they went home.

There were no outsiders at night. The big boss and his wife, Wang Ming and Jiang Feng, four of them sat at one table. Today, Wang Ming also sat at the table with Jiang Feng. He was originally the secretary and driver of the boss, and usually did not have a seat at the table.

However, he was only at the table to eat, as he had to drive at night, so he was not allowed to drink. Jiang Feng and Minister Wang drank slowly and talked about some old stories of the old city.

Minister Wang asked seriously this time: "Xiao Feng, you should keep a low profile when you go back. The Ministry of Metallurgical Industry has not made any major adjustments. We should mainly maintain production. Many people in other industries have resigned."

"Leader, I know. I'm just looking at my own little piece of land. I don't plan to develop into other industries. I will continue to study technology and take the technical route in the future. I don't plan to touch the administrative field."

"It's probably difficult. Technical staff will eventually have to move closer to administrative positions. Otherwise, your technology may not be adopted by others. It still needs someone to vigorously promote it."

Jiang Feng nodded, indicating that he understood it. The higher-ups attached great importance to it because China needed these technologies. But to be honest, all kinds of technologies were needed now, and there was a lot of work to be done.

The two of them didn't drink much, just a little over half a bottle. Minister Wang said with a little bit of intoxication: "Let Zhuzi practice his cooking skills. When I go back, he must cook a good meal for me. I miss the taste of my hometown so much."

The leader's wife also complained, "There's nothing I can do. The recipe I gave you doesn't taste right. It's spicy. Lao Wang said it doesn't taste right. The one you brought here is gone in less than two months."

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It could be a problem with the materials, or it could be a problem with the climate here. The climate in the north is dry, and it's humid here. If it's a problem with the materials, it's easy to solve. I'll go back and pack a big bag for you, and you can just do it here. If it still doesn't work, it could be a problem with the climate."

"Nonsense, why would you go through so much trouble just for a little food? Forget it, I'm old now, and the doctor also said that it's good to eat less spicy food, so he told me to drink more soup."

"It's not that you can't eat it, but Madam needs to take care of it. Don't worry about it. Just think of it as something prepared for you by a junior like me. It's fine to eat one or two bites of it on a regular basis. But drinking the soup is the best. Madam, please find some local soup recipes. There are many kinds here, such as those that remove dampness, strengthen bones, and reduce internal heat. It's best to drink two bowls of soup every day."

Madam Jiang Feng also remembered what he said and told Wang Ming, "Xiao Wang, you should ask around to see if there are any recipes. I heard from the people at the market that there are too many different kinds."

Jiang Feng interrupted and said, "But you have to find out the recipe. Most of the herbs here are stewed in soup. Some of the herbs still need to be checked by the doctor to see if the leader can eat them. It's best to find a famous old Chinese doctor nearby to take a look and take good care of them. The south is very humid, and if you feel uncomfortable, your body will feel heavy."

"Yes, yes, Xiaofeng is right. That's what happened to me. When I felt heavy, my nose was blocked. It was so uncomfortable. The doctor said it was a cold, and it really got better after taking cold medicine for a few days."

Minister Wang saw that the two were discussing food and drink, so he ignored them and ate his food slowly, taking a sip from time to time. Jiang Feng would also drink with him, while discussing the issue of making soup with his wife.

As they chatted and drank, time passed slowly. They heard the clock in the living room ringing. It was eight o'clock in the evening. Minister Wang pulled his wife, who was still eager to get going, and said, "Xiao Feng still needs to take a car. The time is almost up. You look full, so let's hurry up and leave."

Jiang Feng had already eaten his fill, and was just chatting with his wife and drinking with his boss. When he heard the bell, he stood up and said, "Boss, Madam, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you when I have time. I might have to go on a business trip again someday."

"Okay, hurry up, Xiao Wang, and be careful on the road."

Wang Ming agreed and hurried out. There was enough time, but it was a bit rushed. The two got in the car, Jiang Feng waved his hand, and the car drove out.

Minister Wang and the other man watched the car drive away and walked into the house, wondering when they could go back to visit. They were so busy all year round that not only did they have no time to go back, but it was also difficult to go back given the current situation.

Now there is one biggest advantage. There is no traffic jam in Guangzhou. There are few cars on the road. It takes more than 30 minutes to reach the railway station. Jiang Feng got off the car in a hurry, picked up his things and went to the front door. He said to Wang Ming, "I left some things behind. Thank you for your help during these few months."

Wang Ming got off the car in a hurry to give it to Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng said that they were about to enter the station and ran away in a hurry. Wang Ming went to the back and saw a bag with two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine in it. He could only shake his head as he watched Jiang Feng running away.

I found a telephone booth nearby and called Minister Wang, saying that everyone had arrived at the station and should have boarded the bus by now. I also told him about the things Jiang Feng left behind. Minister Wang said, "Just keep them. You can accept these little things he gave you and don't have to tell me about them in the future."

Wang Ming was shocked. He knew that the leader valued Jiang Feng very much, but he didn't expect him to value him so much. The most taboo thing for people around the leader is to accept things from their subordinates. If they accept things and ask you something next time, you will decide whether to tell them or not. The leader's words were almost like saying that if he knew what he wanted to ask, you should tell him.

While he was still saying "I understand" he heard a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Wang Ming hung up and drove back to the dormitory.

Jiang Feng on this side had already boarded the train. When he got on the train, he only had one box left in his hands, and the rest were thrown into the space. It was still a sleeper berth. This time it was early, and the carriage was still very lively. There were people from all over the world. After Jiang Feng put his things away, he came up with a teacup and started chatting with them.

Jiang Feng went to bed after chatting until the lights in the carriage went out at night. He slept too much during the day and was a little groggy at night. Listening to the sound of the train running wildly, Jiang Feng's mind was filled with Zhao Xuelin and the two children, and then Lou Xiaoe with Jiang Xiao, holding another child in her arms.

In the blink of an eye, the children had grown up and surrounded Jiang Feng, asking for this and that. Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiao'e also rushed over, each grabbing one of Jiang Feng's ears and pulling him towards them. The children also split into two groups, helping their mother to pull Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng had no strength left at this time and could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Suddenly he felt like he was split into two, Lou Xiao'e was pulling one and Zhao Xuelin was pulling the other. When the two Jiang Fengs looked at each other, Jiang Feng sat up suddenly with sweat all over his head. He looked around and found himself still on the train. It was pitch black all around, with only a few small orange lights on along the corridor allowing people to see the ground.

Jiang Feng took a breath, and a strong smell of smelly feet and sweat hit his nose. Jiang Feng hurriedly held his breath, got up and walked to the toilet. After using the toilet, he came out, washed his face, went to the train connection and lit a cigarette, thinking about how to tell Xiaoxue.

Until he got off the train, Jiang Feng hadn't thought of any good solution. After leaving the station, he had more bags in his hands. This time, there were not just two, but four or five.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard someone shouting. Jiang Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw He Yuzhu standing there. Zhao Xuelin had also come, and brought Shishi with her.

Jiang Feng hurried over, put down the things in his hand, and picked up Jiang Shiyan. Jiang Shiyan clung to Jiang Feng and refused to get down. He Yuzhu could only tie the things to the bike. Zhao Xuelin helped on the side. He Yuzhu's bicycle was full of things.

Zhao Xuelin said on the side: "Why bring so many things? It's so far and it's not easy to carry them on the road."

Jiang Feng said, "Yes, I bought them for you. Everyone in the family gets one. I carried them in one hand and got in the car. There were people delivering them there and picking them up here. It was very easy to carry."

Zhao Xuelin smiled and said nothing. As a result, Jiang Feng brought his wife and children, and He Yuzhu was pulling a cart full of luggage and local specialties. They had to ride slowly on the road, and He Yuzhu could not ride faster.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Shiyan was finally put down. Jiang Feng first carried the car inside, then came out to help with the things. Jiang Shiyan followed behind, running in and out. After returning to the house to put the things down, they all took a breath. Jiang Feng rummaged through a few bags, took out two and handed them to He Yuzhu.

He said, "This is for you. Take it back and divide it among yourselves. There are also some food. I will bring it over later. I also need to see how to cook it. Where is your uncle?"

"I'm cooking over there. Come over for dinner later. I asked for leave to pick you up. You can go to the factory this afternoon."

"Well, I have to go there and cancel the business trip procedures."

"Okay, I'll go over first. You guys take your time to pack up and come over for dinner later." He Yuzhu carried the bag and went to the central courtyard.

Jiang Feng was still a little confused. Why didn't he see Yan Fugui today? He asked, "Xiaoxue, has the school started yet? Uncle San has gone to work."

Zhao Xuelin looked outside and whispered, "No, it's even worse now. Some teachers in the school have been sent to sweep the floor. Uncle San is relatively good. He just asked us to come back and wait for notification. But now we don't dare to stop him at the door."

Jiang Feng thought about it, and when he said "go sweep the floor", he remembered that in the play, Ran Qiuye was sent to labor reform, which was to sweep the streets, but it had nothing to do with him, so he nodded.

He took out bags of pastries from the bag, which were all local specialties from there. He took out a small box from another bag. When he opened it, he found that it was still wrapped in a quilt. It was filled with crabs and shrimps. However, the popsicles were melted and the quilt was wet. Jiang Feng took a look and thought he should be able to get away with it.
