Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 342 The Gears of Destiny

At this time, Lou Xiao'e called Jiang Feng in the bathroom. Jiang Feng stood up and asked, "Xiao'e, what's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts so badly, is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"No problem, it was like this the first time, Xiaoxue was like this too, just go to the toilet and it will be fine, just bear with it, it won't happen next time."

A low voice came from the bathroom, and Jiang Feng turned to Zhao Xuelin and said, "Xiaoxue, take care of it. I'll be out first."

Zhao Xuelin agreed, and Jiang Feng turned around and said something to Lou Xiaoe, then put on his hat and gloves and walked out. Jiang Weiguo shouted from behind, "Dad, where are the firecrackers you promised?"

"Ask your mother, she knows the place." After saying that, he opened and closed the door without looking back and went out. Zhao Xuelin also hurriedly followed him out. The outer door had to be closed as well. There were only women and children at home, so it was safer to lock the door.

Jiang Feng waved his hand after he went out, got in the car and left. Zhao Xuelin closed the door and went into the house. She first went to the bathroom to ask if there was enough water, and then urged the children to eat quickly so that they could go out and play after eating.

They quickly finished their meal and drank a bowl of dumpling soup. Zhao Xuelin put on gloves and hats, took out a string of firecrackers from the house, handed them to Jiang Weiguo, and said to the two older ones, "I'm going to watch your mommy. You two have to watch your sister and don't blow her up, otherwise you won't be able to play next time."

Shishi and Jiang Weiguo nodded quickly, and first dismantled the firecrackers in the house. Then they began to share them, lit a few incense sticks on the fire, and walked out with them. Zhao Xuelin didn't go out either. She was just in the yard anyway, and there was nothing to do. She got some water for Lou Xiaoe in the house, and then she sat in front of the window and watched the children play.

The door of the bathroom in the room opened, and Lou Xiao'e walked out with wet hair. Zhao Xuelin heard the sound of the door opening and turned to look at Lou Xiao'e. This time, she was really a lotus emerging from the water, but her face was red from taking a hot bath.

Zhao Xuelin stood up and walked over, touching Lou Xiaoe's face, which was so delicate that it could be broken by a touch. She sighed and said, "He is so lucky that such a beautiful woman follows him wholeheartedly."

"Sister, what are you talking about? I feel my skin is much better. The lines I got when I was pregnant are gone. I feel much more relaxed."

"You, hurry up and wipe your hair. You didn't even look in the mirror. You look at least a dozen years younger now. I was the same way back then."

"Really? But it smells a bit in there. Let's get rid of the smell later."

"Is the window open? Open the window, otherwise the smell won't get out. Go dry your hair and I'll open it."

"It's open. No need to go in. There was steam inside just now. I opened the window after I finished washing." Lou Xiao'e stopped him and walked into the house, found a dry towel and started to wipe her hair.

Zhao Xuelin nodded, and soon the two of them began to stare at the children outside again. Yaowan only became younger in figure and appearance, but his mentality did not change, and he still focused on taking care of the children.

Jiang Feng's life is much more convenient now. With a car, he can travel everywhere and it is also convenient to take things. He can take out the things in the space at any time, and people will just think that they are placed in the car.

I went to four or five companies in the morning, and also had to visit some leaders' homes. Although they have resigned, I still have to maintain some close relationships with them. Maybe I will have to ask them for help in the future.

When I came back at noon, the meal was ready. As there were several people in my family, we had to eat the leftovers from last night. Jiang Feng was stunning when he came back. The younger Lou Xiao'e was still very beautiful, with a face that represented peace and prosperity, and the clothes she brought back from Hong Kong.

Zhao Xuelin sighed and said to Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng is indeed a man of vision. He was right about taking a concubine and a beauty. No wonder he still misses her all these years. I feel pity for her when I see her. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to help myself either."

"Sister, what are you talking about? You are the beautiful one. You don't know that with your face in Hong Kong, you can win first place in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. You can't tell at all that you are the mother of two children."

Jiang Feng could only smile foolishly, pretending not to understand what the two were saying. Zhao Xuelin rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng and said, "Let's eat. You, I don't know what blessing you have earned in your previous life that makes the two of us so devoted to you."

Jiang Feng didn't dare to respond, and continued, "Eat, eat, Shishi, bring your brothers and sisters to eat."

A gust of cold wind blew in from the door, and several children pushed and shoved into the house. Their hands were dark and their faces were also covered with grime. Jiang Feng stepped forward and shook the children's hands. Fortunately, they were all warm. Lou Xiao'e had already poured water, and Jiang Feng pulled them over to wash their hands and faces.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Lou Xiao'e asked Jiang Feng to visit several families. After that, Jiang Feng took Zhao Xuelin back to her parents' home. This time, Shishi and Jiang Weiguo were also going to go with them.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Feng went back to the courtyard and paid New Year's greetings to his neighbors in the courtyard. He just greeted them when they met. He also went to a few restaurants to have a look and asked He Yuzhu to cook a few dishes for him to take back. Anyway, it would be a waste if he didn't eat them, so He Yuzhu treated him.

Lou Xiao'e has been living in the courtyard these days. She said it is more convenient here and there are people watching over her. It would be too lonely over there and there would be no one to play with Sisi, so she just wants to stay here and not leave.

It was not until the two children went to school and Jiang Feng returned to the courtyard that Lou Xiao'e took Sisi back there. In more than ten days, Lou Xiao'e seemed like a different person. Even Sisi kept asking her why her mother had become so beautiful.

Of course I can't tell anyone. Jiang Feng has warned me repeatedly not to tell anyone. I can only find an excuse myself. Otherwise, when they come to ask for it, I won't be able to give it to them.

When spring came and flowers bloomed, Jiang Feng finally discovered that Xu Damao and Li Huaide were in contact. Li Huaide was indeed a gourmet and now he regularly ate at the restaurant opened by He Yuzhu. After eating, he wanted to see the chef. As a result, he saw He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu told Jiang Feng about it when he came back.

Jiang Feng followed and paid attention twice. It was true that they were doing smuggling business, but it was still a small-scale business at present. They only bought dozens of units. Of course, Xu Damao had limited funds and could not buy too many goods. However, Li Huaide said that this was too slow and asked Xu Damao to think of a solution. In the past, in the south, they shipped goods one container at a time.

Xu Damao also knew that Li Huaide would not be interested in such a small amount of money, but Li Huaide also pointed out a way for him. If you don't have enough money, can you bring others into the partnership? Look at the decoration of this store, it would take at least tens of thousands of dollars to complete it.

Li Huaide was hinting to Xu Damao to win over He Yuzhu. It was said that Xiangmanyuan opened four stores at one time, so there must be someone supporting it. Otherwise, He Yuzhu alone, together with Jiang Feng, would not be able to take it over. Fortunately, he didn't know that these houses also belonged to He Yuzhu, otherwise he would be jealous.

Xu Damao didn't think about it at all. Although he didn't fight with Jiang Feng as fiercely as in the drama, he was not interested in He Yuzhu either. However, He Yuzhu had Jiang Feng's support behind him, so he knew he couldn't afford to offend him. This man knew how to deal with things at the right time.

Jiang Feng knew that Xu Damao was about to take action. This time it was not something that could be solved with tens of thousands of dollars. Even if Xu Damao sold himself, he would not have so much money. However, he was seen in the yard recently, becoming more ostentatious, wearing a suit, tie, and leather shoes, and always carrying a briefcase.

There were indeed people surrounding the yard. Xu Damao knew that most people could not afford much money, but he still needed these people to help promote the business. As long as someone came to his house, he would treat them with good cigarettes and tea, but he would not say what they were doing.

Until one night, when Xu Damao walked into Liu Haizhong's door carrying something, Jiang Feng knew that the gears of fate had started to turn. He just didn't know if Liu Haizhong's family background was enough, and maybe Yan Fugui would get involved.

After Xu Damao entered the room, he immediately called out, "Second Uncle."

Liu Haizhong hadn't heard such a name for many years. He looked up and saw that it was Xu Damao, and he responded with a voice: "It's Damao, what are you doing here today?"

"Second uncle, we are all neighbors. I just happened to get two bottles of good wine. I thought that you are the only one in the courtyard who looks like an elder. I came to have a drink with you. I hope you won't be unwelcome."

Liu Haizhong forced a smile on his face and said, "Look at what you said, Damao. I can't even say welcome. Damao, you are very rich now. Look at your whole body, you are obviously a successful person."

Xu Damao found a stool and sat down at the table. He put the wine on the table and said, "Second Uncle, what's my deal? The boss I know said that successful people drive cars and stay in big hotels. The economy in the south is starting to develop. I also want to make some money and go to the south."

"Oh, you know the big boss who came back from there. What's the situation over there now?"

"Uncle, I'll tell you slowly. Have a cigarette first." Xu Damao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over. Liu Haizhong took the cigarette and lit it with the lighter in Xu Damao's hand.

Xu Damao also lit up a cigarette, took a puff and spit it out. It had been a long time since Liu Haizhong had been visited by anyone to flatter him. From the time he was criticized to his retirement, his family had become less and less popular. He took a puff of cigarette, looked at the wine on the table, and called out, "Old lady, add some food tonight. Damao and I will have a couple of drinks."

Seeing that there was hope, Xu Damao took out another paper bag from his pocket and said, "Look at my memory. How can I trouble Second Aunt to add more dishes? I also bought some donkey meat with sauce today. Let's drink first."

Xu Damao's behavior made Liu Haizhong feel very satisfied. He said, "Da Mao, you are the same. This is a slap in my face. You brought your own food to the second uncle's house for dinner. Don't do that next time."

"Hey, what Second Uncle said is true. I also bought some to drink with when I got home. I'm bored at home alone. Second Uncle, you're the only one in the courtyard who has such good sense. At least we can drink together and chat, don't you agree?"

Liu Haizhong now straightened his back, his face became rosy, and he called Zhao Xiaohua louder and louder, asking her to bring bowls, chopsticks and cups quickly, saying that he and Xu Damao would not leave until they were drunk today.
