Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 324: Telling the story

Jiang Feng returned home with a worried look on his face. Today was the weekend, and the children were playing in the yard. Jiang Feng saw Zhao Xuelin busying around the house, so he walked up to her and said, "You should take a break too. You're always like this, so how can you finish your work? I have something to tell you."

"Yes, yes, I won't say anything. You can take care of it from now on. I'll let you take a break. It's cold now.

"How can I rest? Look at the house. If I don't clean it up every day, it's dirty everywhere. Especially those two, they run in and out every day without stopping. Shishi is already so old, but she doesn't look quiet at all. What will I do in the future?"

"It's okay, it's okay. He's still young now, he'll be fine when he grows up. Haven't you seen how stable He Xiao is now? He doesn't even play with these kids anymore."

"That's because Sister Yanzi disciplined him well. Brother Zhuzi is better than you. Every time I want to discipline him, you come out to protect him, always saying that the child is still young. Do you think I can still discipline him when he grows up?" Boil more hot water and use less cold water to wipe here and there. Look at you, your hands are frozen red."

"Well, I've been cleaning for more than ten years, and I've never seen you care about me so much. Tell me, what's the matter? Looking at you like this, is your boyfriend coming back?"

Jiang Feng was shocked and speechless. Seeing Jiang Feng like this, Zhao Xuelin's heart skipped a beat. She also put down the work in her hands and said, "She is really coming back. When? Do you want me to make room for her?"

"Xiaoxue, you are talking about this again. I told you, no, the yard over there is ready. I will bring it over there to meet you. No matter what, you still have the final say in this family."

"I have the final say. Things are different now than before. How can I have the final say? She has her own children and her own family. How can I control her? It's good enough that you remember us." Zhao Xuelin said with tears falling.

Jiang Feng hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Xuelin and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that I don't care about you? No, this is just a coincidence. For so many years, I basically don't talk to or interact with female comrades outside. Please forgive me this time."

Zhao Xuelin pushed Jiang Feng away and said, "What are you doing? The door is open in broad daylight. What if the children see you? There are people coming and going in front of the door. Be careful."

"Yes, yes, I feel sorry for you. I can't care about anything else when I see you crying."

Zhao Xuelin wiped her tears and said stubbornly, "I wasn't crying, I was just blinded by the wind. Didn't we agree long ago that we'll meet in the courtyard over there when the time comes? You have to make arrangements when you come back. If not, you can stay over there so you don't have to run back and forth."

"That won't work. The yard over there is yours. His father also left a yard for her. Just clean it up when the time comes. Come in. I'll show you something."

"What are you showing me in broad daylight?"

"What are you thinking about? Let's talk about it after we go inside." Jiang Feng pulled Zhao Xuelin into the house and found a small box under the bed. There was a layer of dust on the surface, which was made by Jiang Feng in the space. Zhao Xuelin was surprised: "What is this? How come I didn't know there was a box under the bed."

After saying that, he lowered his head to look down, wanting to see if there was anything else. Jiang Feng pulled it and said, "It's gone. I put it at the foot of the bed. You probably didn't notice it."

He found a rag to wipe it, opened the box and pushed it in front of Zhao Xuelin. Inside was a thick stack of house deeds, all of which Jiang Feng had found outside. The names had not been changed yet, but all the procedures were complete and he just needed to go to the street office to register them.

Uncle Huang's life is better now. Since Jiang Feng started preparing cigarettes, fewer people have targeted him. Later, Jiang Feng caught the attention of the higher-ups, so naturally all these relationships were investigated. However, that was when the movement was in full swing, so sitting on the bench was considered a protection.

Wasn't it that he was promoted immediately after the campaign ended last year, and is now the director of the Street Office? Zhao Xuelin took the things and counted them. There were more than 10 courtyards in total, large and small. She was surprised and said, "How did you get so many? How much did it cost?"

"It's not only ours, but also my cousin's. I asked him to take the money as well. I plan to split it with him half each. You see, there will be so many children in the future, so we must leave something for them. I'll go ask Uncle Huang. If the policy allows, we will change the name."

Zhao Xuelin took it in her hand and flipped through it, then glanced at Jiang Feng: "You told me everything, I didn't leave two sets for you. I heard you have a son and a daughter, but you didn't care."

Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly: "No, no, I've already said that everything I have in China belongs to you and the children. They also have assets outside. I also invested when they went out. I also have a share of the shares there. I will leave it to them when the time comes. But don't worry, these courtyards will not be less valuable than those outside."

"Ah, I have no choice. I have to eat and drink, and I always have to think about the children. I just hope you can treat them equally in the future and don't let the children suffer."

"No, no, don't worry. The food I left for them is more than enough for three generations to eat. If they have the ability, I will support them to go out and work. If they can't, I can also ensure that they have enough food and clothing."

"Okay, I'll keep the stuff. When you find out what's going on, I'll call Sister Yanzi to get it done with us, so we don't have to worry about it again in the future."

"No, there won't be any trouble. Don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged properly and I guarantee you won't have to worry about anything. You just need to look after the children at home and you won't have to worry about anything else."

"But I have something to say in advance. When I discipline the children in the future, you are not allowed to come out to protect them. Since you left such a large fortune, you should at least be able to protect it, if not let them develop it. Otherwise, it will be a disaster."

"Well, I'll listen to you. You need to discipline him well. He will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life, and he won't be able to finish all these things. I'm just afraid that he will start a business, because that would really burn money." Jiang Feng thought of the man in the future who had a small goal in mind. He was really foresighted.

"What nonsense! Starting a business is something they have the ability to do, and we should support them. But aren't we all working now? You mean starting a business, right? Aren't all state-owned enterprises now? Even the people making breakfast outside are government-owned. How can they start a business?"

"You don't know this, right? It will be relaxed. In the future, we need to develop the economy and increase national income. Someone has to take the lead. The reason why I took out these yards is that I plan to start with food."

"You mean opening a restaurant? Is that possible?"

"It's not a restaurant, it's a hotel, a hotel, and private cuisine. These will be indispensable in the future. Just wait and see. When it's done, let Shishi and the others manage it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, they will definitely give it a try. If they are really capable, we can retire earlier."

"It's not that easy. You still have to watch from behind. They won't be able to do anything without you behind them. You make it sound so easy. Business is not that easy to do."

"Don't worry. There are plenty of opportunities for them to make mistakes. They need to be trained slowly. Besides, the two children are still young. It will take at least ten years. I promise to earn them a big fortune."

"It's fine if you can do what you say, but what about your job?"

"Once the policy is relaxed, I plan to resign. I have already given all the ideas in my mind to the research institute. It will depend on them to do their own research in the future. I plan to change my career and study economics."

"It's up to you. I don't understand what you're doing anyway. I just need to help you take care of the house. If you do a good job, I'll eat delicious food with you. If you don't do a good job, I'll just eat coarse food with you. As long as we're together as a family, that's all."

"Hahaha, then you can expect to have a good time, but it will be hard for the family to be together. When the children grow up, they will be traveling all over the world. It will be difficult for you to see them. But don't worry, I will always be with you."

"Bah, who wants you to accompany her? Go and accompany your moth. She will be back soon. This is a long-awaited reunion. You should take it easy. You are already old."

"You look down on me and dare to say that I can't do it. I'll let you see if I can do it." Jiang Feng saw that Zhao Xuelin always used Lou Xiao'e to criticize her, so he pounced on her.

Zhao Xuelin patted Jiang Feng on the back a few times and hugged him tightly. The two of them were affectionate for a while. Zhao Xuelin pushed Jiang Feng away and said, "Get up. It will be bad if the children see it. I will put the things away. You can find time to ask Uncle Huang."

"Well, if it weren't broad daylight, I would have executed you right there. Wait for me at night."

"Just wait and see who is afraid of who. Just don't get up early tomorrow morning holding your waist again."

"Okay, you still want to rebel, don't run away."

After Zhao Xuelin finished speaking, she ran to the side to collect her things. When she saw Jiang Feng, she wanted to make a move on her again, so she pushed him twice. Jiang Feng then fell on the bed. Zhao Xuelin packed up the house deed and left the inner room. Jiang Feng felt relieved, as he still had to deal with that side. He could only let Xiao'e suffer a little and give in.

After thinking for a while, he sat up. He still had to go over there to take a look. He looked at the time and it was just a little after 10 o'clock. He went to take a look and came back. He said something to Zhao Xuelin outside, pushed his bicycle and went out.

He arrived at the Lou family's small western-style building with a familiar look. The exterior had been renovated to be much simpler. He went forward and knocked on the door. An unfamiliar person opened the door. Jiang Feng asked, "I'm looking for Lou Hu. Is he here?"

"Who are you and what do you want from Tiger Lord?"

"Master Tiger, that's right. Just tell him that my name is Jiang Feng, and he will know it naturally."

The man looked Jiang Feng up and down for a few times, then turned around and went into the house. After a while, a middle-aged man walked out quickly. He looked at Jiang Feng at the door for a few times and said to him, "Son-in-law, you are here. You seem to have not changed much in all these years."

"Master Tiger, you look more stable now. You have worked hard outside these years."

"Son-in-law, I don't dare to call you that. Just call me Lou Hu. I was picked up by the master when I was young, so I took the master's surname. Son-in-law, come in and talk."

"Now let's not talk about that. I'll call you Brother Tiger. You're older than me anyway. Come on, I have a lot of things to ask you."
