With Lin Fan's help, Xu Damao's store also opened. Some people watching in the yard started to take action, but more people still wanted to enter the factory.
They are also worried that they will not be able to do business and think that they are not that good.
Lin Fan didn't care about them. If he didn't want to, then forget it. For those who were willing to come out and open a shop, Lin Fan asked people to help them.
One month later.
The children also had a holiday. In the afternoon, the weather was too hot and the children did not want to go out to play. They stayed at home playing games with Lin Fan.
But from Lin Fan's point of view, it's not that they dislike the heat, but that they think game consoles are more fun.
When Lin Fan was young, no matter how hot or cold it was outside, his restless heart would not stay at home.
The phone is ringing here!
"pause!"
Lin Fan shouted directly that the person playing the game was a classmate of He Weiguo. He quickly pressed pause and everyone looked at Lin Fan.
Good guy, are you surrounded by more than a dozen people when you answer the phone?
"Hi, hello, I'm Lin Fan!"
"Xiaofan!"
"Sister Xiao'e!"
I've been home for more than ten days, and Lou Xiao'e just called me!
"I'll fly back tomorrow afternoon, can you pick me up?"
"Okay, just in time, I can get the bus there tomorrow morning!"
"Really? That's such a coincidence!"
"Do you have many salutes? If so, I'll drive an SUV!"
"Not much, just drive a car!"
"okay!"
After chatting with Lou Xiao'e for a few words, Lin Fan hung up the phone. Lin Fan waved his hand: "You continue!"
All of a sudden, the sound of game continuation came.
Lin Fan sat on the chair and thought for a while, then turned around and walked out, driving to the courtyard.
After arriving in the backyard, Lin Fan went directly to the door of Xu Damao's house.
Looking at Lin Fan who came in through the door, Xu Damao said, "It's Factory Director Lin. Why are you looking for me?"
Xu Damao is counting money!
"You have to count the money after closing the door in broad daylight. It's really yours. Don't leave the money at home to get moldy. Use it when you need it. Buy something for your parents. Why are you keeping it?"
"Hey, aren't you thinking that if you save some money, I can also contract a wasteland to raise chickens and ducks? At worst, I can eat meat with my own mouth!"
"You have so many ideas. I don't care. You can make up your own mind. If you keep your money at home, be sure to prevent it from mold and moisture. Don't let it rot when you take it out!"
"Ouch!"
Xu Damao quickly went to take out his money, and sure enough, when he turned it to the bottom, it was all moldy!
"I'm convinced too!"
Lin Fan looked around and found some work clothes that came in.
"what?"
Xu Damao asked quickly, Lin Fan threw his work clothes on the bed, because the bed was right next to the window, and the sunlight came in when the window was open!
"Expose yourself to the sun, aren't you stupid?"
Showing money has been a thing since ancient times. People in ancient times, if the money was kept at home, if it got moldy or rusty, they would take it out to dry in the sun and wipe it before using it. But as for the banknotes, they had to be used first.
Let it dry for a while and then take it to the bank to exchange it.
"Hey, hurry up and help me!"
"Isn't this a sign of friendship?"
Lin Fan said angrily, and then helped to show off the money. Soon Lin Fan discovered that this thing made a lot of money!
“You make a lot of money!”
"Hey, thanks to you!"
"From now on, don't hide money at home. Your store leaves a little change every day, and at noon and afternoon, just go to the bank and deposit it directly!"
Lin Fan was afraid of trouble, and He Yuzhu was the bank depositor, but in fact Lin Fan had too much money, because a lot of the meat was made in Lin Fan's own space. If you want to reconcile it, it won't be right!
"Okay, okay, doesn't this Qian Zang look good at home?"
Xu Damao smiled with wrinkles on his face, and then after finishing the money, he remembered: "What do you want from me?"
"Lou Xiao'e will go home tomorrow!"
Xu Damao was silent immediately. He knew what Lin Fan meant and said decisively: "Then I won't be back tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow!"
"No, what I mean is that you apologize to them and laugh away your grudges!"
"What the hell, she and I..."
Just as Xu Damao was about to explode, Lin Fan's stern eyes suddenly came over and he softened instantly!
"I am a big man..."
"What's wrong with the grown man? Has she, Lou Xiao'e, done anything wrong to you?"
Xu Damao was silent!
In fact, it was Xu Damao who treated Lou Xiaoe badly!
"This matter is settled. Tomorrow I will ask my brother to cook a table, and you will come over and give me a good match. You two have shared weal and woe for so many years, and you should both understand what kind of person I, Sister Lou, am. You
Most clearly!”
"It's because I know clearly that she will never forgive me!"
"It's one thing not to forgive, but it's another thing whether you know you're wrong. Xu Damao, how old are you? You're over forty. We people in Sijiu City love face, but we also understand.
,look at you!"
Xu Damao’s life has been unsatisfactory these past few years!
real.
One is that everyone looks down on him, not because of the child, but because he clearly cannot give birth, but puts the blame on Lou Xiao'e.
This in itself is a disgusting thing!
Besides, there are so many people in the courtyard, women!
The men all go to work, and the women just stay at home chatting about household chores. Do you think these old ladies can spare him Xu Damao?
There was a lot of gossip behind the scenes. When Qin Jingru got married, she didn't want to talk to Qin Huairu.
But now, Qin Jingru is still okay. Over the past few years, everyone has seen this girl. Although she is calculating, petty, and a perfect match for Xu Damao, at least the family is well managed.
The gossip gradually decreased.
"You, be a man again. I'll wait for you to come tomorrow night. It's up to you whether you come or not."
Lin Fan stood up and went out. When the wind blew, the banknotes on the bed almost flew out. Xu Damao rushed to him, closed the door, and collected the money!
But suddenly, he saw a patch. It was a piece of work clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time. There was a patch on the work clothes, which was sewn by Lou Xiao'e.
It's patchwork, that's what people's clothes look like these days.
Xu Damao knew very well that this patch was accidentally broken when he went to the countryside to play a movie. After he came back, he was complained by Lou Xiao'e, but Lou Xiao'e stayed up late at night to patch it up for him. She, Lou Xiao'e, is a big person, how can she
For doing such a job, my hands were stabbed numerous times.
"Lou Xiao'e..."
He touched the clothes gently. If his mother hadn't been obstructing her, if he hadn't been so lustful, he wouldn't have divorced Lou Xiao'e!
Xu Damao sighed!
...
The next afternoon.
Arriving at the airport and looking at the time, Lin Fan felt helpless!
"You don't have to wait!"
There is nothing we can do, we are already here, just wait!
Time passed slowly, minute by minute, and finally a plane from Xiangjiang landed.
"coming!"
Lin Fan waited directly at the exit. After another half an hour, Lou Xiaoe, dressed in fashionable and gorgeous clothes, walked out with her mother. Lou Xiaoe's father had already left, so this time only she and her mother came back.
"Sister Xiao'e!"
Lin Fan waved his hand, and after the two of them walked out, he quickly took the luggage.
"Xiao Fan!"
Lou Xiao'e's mother also knew Lin Fan. When Lou Xiao'e got married to this young man, Lin Fan even helped him press the bed!
What is bed pressing? It means that the boy helps the new woman to sleep on the bed so that the new woman can give birth to a boy!
This is a strange practice, but everyone believes that it is a rule that has been left down since ancient times.
Anyway, it’s just to get a lucky break.
"Aunt Tan, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so young. Last time I went to Xiangjiang, I didn't see you. This time you came home and I finally saw you!"
"Ouch, I was in the hospital last time. Please, I won't let you come over. Now, that place is unlucky. Look at me now. I'm not jumping around. Now that I heard that I have to go home, my heart
!”
Aunt Tan is Lou Xiao'e's mother, and more importantly, she is also a descendant of the Tan family!
Why?
It's very simple. It looks like the Jia Zhang family to you, but actually she has no name, just a nickname, but Aunt Tan has a name, and she used to be a wealthy family.
"Let's go back first. Your house is taken care of by the neighbors. Early this morning, the aunt took people to clean it inside and out!"
What Lin Fan said made Aunt Tan extremely excited. She looked at Lin Fan excitedly. Lin Fan nodded, and Aunt Tan shed tears.
I have been away from home for more than ten years!
It’s really like leaving home!
As soon as I left, my husband died, and I was orphaned and widowed, living in a foreign land like this. Let alone going to sea, leaving a province, for most people, it was like leaving home.
Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to go to Xiangjiang, a city that has not yet returned to Hong Kong!
There is a language barrier. People speak Cantonese and English!
The behavior patterns are different, the lifestyles are different, everything is different.
Under such circumstances, Lou Xiao'e really managed to survive. Later, she was attracted by a rich man, pursued violently, and then they got married. However, within a few years, the rich man died...
After leaving a large amount of wealth, he had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a comfortable life. Only then did he settle down, but it was still difficult to integrate.
This time, he is back.
"Let's get in the car first!"
Lin Fan took the four suitcases as a salute, and it was difficult for the two of them to bring them over.
Lou Xiao'e patted one of them and said, "This is for you. This box belongs to you!"
"All mine?"
"Yes, there are things you want, and some are for your wife!"
After getting in the car, three suitcases could barely fit into the trunk!
"Is this what you're telling me about not being polite enough?"
"How do I know..."
Lou Xiao'e smiled awkwardly, but she refused to admit defeat!
Driving slowly towards home, the old lady looked outside, and then said with excitement on her face: "Not much has changed!"
Yes, in the eyes of old people, this kind of thing may be a good thing, but in fact, the changes in Sijiu City in the past ten years have not been much, but it is still very good.
"Auntie, there hasn't been much change in the past few years. Just watch and see the changes in the next four or nine cities. If you don't go out for a month, you probably won't be able to find your way back!"
"That's fine. Big changes mean rapid development. The country is rich, and so are the people. The bigger the changes, the better!"
"It's true that you are more enlightened!"
Lin Fan smiled and teased for a while, and then slowly he asked, "Sister Lou, do you want to go to the courtyard first or go home first?"
"Go home first!"
Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything, Aunt Tan made the decision directly.
"Okay, I listen to you. When you come back, you have to go home first!"
She took the people directly back to Lou Xiao'e's home. As soon as she saw the familiar streets and the familiar gate, Aunt Tan trembled all over and tears kept falling.
"Xiao'e, please come out quickly!"
Lou Xiao'e hurriedly opened her backpack and took out a photo from inside. Lin Fan bowed gently to the photo. This was Lou Xiao'e's father, Mr. Lou, who had a public-private partnership with the country.
"Mr. Lou, go home!"
"Dad, I'm home!"
"Old man, we are going home!"
Lin Fan followed. Aunt Tan insisted on taking the photo and put it on her chest. Then she cried all the way back to her room door. Lin Fan handed over the key. Lou Xiao'e opened the door and looked at everything familiar inside. Tan
Auntie suddenly cried and fell to the ground.
"Auntie, get up quickly, uncle is still watching, you have to take care of yourself!"
Lin Fan quickly picked up Aunt Tan. Lou Xiao'e also carefully took the photo over. Lin Fan pointed to the side. There was a Buddhist niche there. Lou Xiao'e glanced at Lin Fan gratefully. The Buddhist niche looked extraordinary, but now
It was too late to worry about this, so she put her father's photo up first. Looking at the incense and a bronze incense burner beside it, Lou Xiao'e felt even more grateful to Lin Fan.
"Mom, stop crying. Today is a good day. We have all gone home. Dad definitely doesn't want you to cry like this!"
"Yes, Auntie, go over and offer some incense to your uncle!"
Lin Fan supported Aunt Tan, came to the photo, and together with Aunt Tan, offered incense to Uncle Lou.
"Dad, when you go home, you can feel completely at ease!"
I can’t talk about some of the first things here, but the hardships of these years made Lou Xiaoe burst into tears. Home is the spiritual haven for everyone. Although it is said that a place with family is home, but in the hearts of Chinese people, it is their own home.
On the land, in your own house, you call home.
The two of them cried for a long time, and Lin Fan brought tea and water to prevent them from crying to silence.
Finally, they restrained their emotions, and the two of them suddenly became embarrassed: "Xiao Fan, I'm telling you a joke!"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? Sister Xiao'e and I are like siblings, and there's nothing funny about this. When uncle comes back, everyone will be happy!"
"Yes, everyone is happy!"
Then, the two people started to look at the house. Looking at the almost unchanged home, their emotions rose again.
