My 1978 Hotel

"Take more."

Li Feng planned to discuss it with his parents later. He had always wanted to go back to his hometown to build a house. Han Chaoxia didn't agree with it at first. Firstly, although he had some savings, it was not much after all. Secondly, it was not cost-effective to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a house that he would only live in for a few days a year.

Now I have enough money, and I have a house I built myself, so I can take a shower and decorate it to my liking. "Here's the card. I just transferred some money to it a few days ago." Li Feng's three-yuan purchase was auctioned off.

"What money?"

"I took the three yuan from the auction house last time, and I didn't expect it to go for such a high price," Li Feng explained. "After deducting fees and taxes, there's still over 1.3 million left."

"So many?"

"It's okay, mainly because the number is better."

If it were now, Li Feng might not have considered selling it. Giving it to Han Zhaoxia would also be a good idea, but since it was already sold, Li Feng felt relieved. "Just pick up the change. Let's make an appointment tomorrow."

"Row."

Han Zhaoxia took the bank card. It was just 50 million. With the excitement of 50 million, Han Zhaoxia was really a little worried about this amount of money. After thinking about it for a night, Li Feng decided to accept the investment from both companies.

One consideration is the popularity of the Space-Time Hotel, which requires a large number of tourists. Now B&Bs have a bad reputation on Tik Tok, so it is difficult to attract local tourists by general means, so we can only expand the scale.

With another 100 million investment, who wouldn't be tempted? Although Li Feng has a little money now, facing such a large sum of money, it would be a joke if he didn't feel tempted. The next morning, Li Feng got up and told Han Zhaoxia about his thoughts.

Han Zhaoxia had actually been thinking about it all night, but faced with such a large investment, she was actually unsure. "Just think it over carefully. I support you."

"Thank you."

Li Feng was about to hug his wife when there was a knock on the door. He opened it and saw Li Yi holding Li Jingjing's hand. The two little girls were grinning from ear to ear. "Lazy Dad, the sun is out."

Well, the sun is out, but it's summer now, and the sun doesn't come out until after six or seven. This is considered lazy. I'm afraid at least half of the country is lazy. "Why are you up so early?"

"My sister took me to catch cicadas."

Li Yi happily raised her hand, holding up the little red bucket. It was a urine bucket, wasn't it? Li Feng and Han Zhaoxia exchanged glances. "Let the child play, after all, there's nothing to rinse." "So many?" Han Zhaoxia nudged Li Feng. She didn't want to get too close, but her daughter looked so expectant, so she had no choice but to push Li Feng to see.

Li Feng stretched his head to take a look helplessly. Unexpectedly, he caught quite a few, probably twenty or thirty. There are very few cicadas these days. He doesn't know why, maybe it's the pesticides or the fertilizers, but there are so many fewer cicadas than before.

"Hehe, Dad, I'm awesome, right?"

Li Yi was quite proud and took Li Jingjing's hand and was about to leave. "Dad, Mom, I'm going to check on my brother. He just didn't want to get up. What a lazy bum."

"Hehe, big lazy brother."

Li Jingjing also waved her little hands, and the two little girls jumped and ran to Li Ran with their little red buckets to show off that they had caught cicadas.

"These two kids, slow down."

Han Zhaoxia hurriedly put on her shoes and prepared to follow him out. "I just didn't know if anyone was following us. It's not possible for two little ones to go out together."

"Don't worry, my mom or dad will definitely follow us, otherwise how could we catch so many cicadas." Li Feng waved his hand, feeling that Han Chaoxia's worries were unnecessary.

"You, if you continue like this, I'm afraid the child won't know where to go next time." Han Chaoxia still felt worried, so she put on her shoes and walked outside.

"Don't you want to brush your teeth and wash your face?"

"Come back later and brush your teeth."

Han Chaoxia waved her hands. After all, there was a cement road behind her house, and cars and people came and went from time to time. How could she feel at ease letting these two little ones go out? Especially when she thought about the cicadas they had just caught, she was even more frightened.

Seeing this, Li Feng shook his head helplessly, quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and went to the second brother's house to find Han Chaoxia.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"I'll take care of my sister and the others, so go back and wash up."

"Okay, keep an eye on it."

"Do not worry."

Li Feng saw two little guys squatting beside the iron basin, poking the cicada's butt with a stick. "Yiyi, what are you doing?"

"dad."

Li Yi said proudly, "Grandma told me that cicadas can shed their shells by crawling around. It's really fun."

"Ah, that's it."

Li Feng really didn't know, but the cicadas that had just emerged were crawling a bit slowly, no wonder he poked them with a stick. "How about Daddy help you clean them and fry them for you later."

"No."

Li Yi shook her head vigorously. She wanted to raise a lot of cicadas and put them by her brother's bed, so that he wouldn't be lazy and not get up to play. Of course, she couldn't tell her father about this. The girl just poked the cicadas harder that didn't want to crawl.

Li Feng was helpless and turned to ask his parents who were busy making breakfast. "Dad, Mom, who took them out just now? How did you catch so many cicadas?"

"Your dad."

Zuo Chuanlan said with a smile, "These two little ones are already clamoring to catch cicadas before daybreak. Your father and I can't bear to let them go out like this."

"I'll just say it."

Li Feng smiled. "Just now, Zhaoxia was quite worried."

"Chaoxia is right to worry. There shouldn't be too many children stealing outside. You should not be so careless. Be sure to watch out when you go out." Zuo Chuanlan talked about this for a long time, this farm, which village, oh my god, a child was lost, etc., which scared Li Feng.

Wang Xiaohui and Han Zhaoxia, who had finished washing up and came to help, nodded in agreement. Well, Li Feng thought to himself, I shouldn't have asked. Fortunately, the phone rang, otherwise the conversation might have lasted a long time.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"We don't sell knife loach to customers. Please tell the customers."

There wasn't enough for the health banquet, so how could we possibly sell it to the public? Li Feng thought, unless there were too many loaches in the future and the health banquet couldn't use them up, but that might be a bit difficult. You know, yesterday, Li Feng, Wu Tong, and Li Muchen had revealed a little bit about the health banquet.

This can be regarded as an advance introduction of some homestay assets to investors. I think that the two companies will most likely monopolize the health banquet in the future, and it will be difficult for outsiders to eat there, let alone sell knife loaches to outsiders.

"1,500, that's not a low price, but we're really out of stock. Please explain it to the customer."

Li Feng was about to say a few words when Li Ran came running over and called for dinner. "Okay, that's it. We'll contact you later if you need anything."

"It's ready so soon?"

"Ah."

Li Ran nodded calmly. This child wasn't as lively as Li Yi, and at only twelve or thirteen, Li Feng couldn't say anything. Fortunately, she wasn't too rebellious. After all, she had her mother. She wasn't afraid of him as her father, but she was a little afraid of her mother.

“Do you want to go somewhere to play?”

"It's too hot, I don't really want to go out."

"You should run more. Let me take a look later. Let's find a place that is a little cooler and go out for a walk. Your grandparents have nothing to do right now." Li Feng planned to take advantage of the extra time in the summer vacation to take the two elderly people in his family out for a walk.

I haven't been to many places in my life, let alone a real trip, so I just took the opportunity to visit the capital or a big city like Shanghai.

Li Ran was reluctant, but nodded quietly when Li Feng mentioned his grandparents.

"Let's play at grandpa and grandma's house for a few days first. When your mom and I have finished planning, we can go out for a good walk." Li Feng smiled and rubbed Li Ran's head. "You want to go to the grassland, right? I'll take you there this time."

"Really?"

"real."

In recent years, Li Feng has been incredibly busy running his breakfast restaurant and milk tea shop, leaving Han Zhaoxia almost entirely responsible for household chores. Especially with the recent major events that have affected the entire restaurant industry, Li Feng has become less concerned with his family.

Alas, I've somewhat neglected my eldest son. Our relationship is now a bit complicated. "I promised you long ago, but I just haven't had the time. This time, I'm going to take you to see it no matter what."

"Great."

"Where else do you want to go?" Li Feng smiled at his excited son. "But first, let me make it clear, I don't dare to try anything too exciting, your dad."

"What a coward."

Li Ran muttered quietly, but then he started thinking about where he wanted to go. He had been to the capital before, but he was too young to remember it clearly. "Watch the flag-raising ceremony."

"Row."

Li Feng thought, this guy must be getting up early, but he needs to book a hotel early. If he doesn't book a hotel in advance during the summer vacation in the capital, he might have to walk a long way to see the flag-raising ceremony. "How about going to the capital first, then to the grasslands, and then to the beach?"

"Qindao?"

"Let's go see Baotu Spring again."

"Ah."

Li Ran nodded vigorously. He quite liked this route. He would then go through Shanghai, Suzhou, and Jinling and return to Chicheng.

"Then I have a task for you. Planning the tour of the capital is up to you."

"give it to me."

Li Ran said, then looked at Li Feng. "But I need to look up some information, so you have to borrow my phone."

"No problem, one hour a day is okay?"

"can."

Li Ran thought about it and nodded. The father and son reached an agreement, and their relationship seemed even closer. "Then we'll follow your plan."

"It's definitely no problem."

Li Ran looked like he believed me, and Li Feng said with a smile. "Okay, it's settled then. Let's go and have dinner."

"Ah."

Han Zhaoxia was a little confused. When did the father and son become so close? They were talking and laughing. When she saw Li Feng coming over, she grabbed Li Feng. "What's going on?"

"fine."

Li Feng smiled and told Li Ran about the agreement he had just reached.

"How about it?"

"pretty good."

Han Zhaoxia was quite happy. The relationship between her father and son had been a bit troubling for her in recent years, and she definitely hoped they could get closer. "Let's eat. By the way, what do you think about the investment?"

"Promise it first."

Li Feng took the steamed bun and took a bite. "It's not too late to talk about it when we get back."

Li Liang and Wang Xiaohui, who were standing nearby, exchanged glances when they heard Li Feng mention investment, but ultimately couldn't help themselves. "Brother, are you talking about the B&B investment?"

"Yes."

Li Feng didn't hide it. "You heard it yesterday, didn't you? I'll think about it and agree to it. After all, the B&B needs to develop, and it's always better to have someone I know invest in it."

"That means, at that time, the money will be transferred to the B&B account?"

"probably."

Li Feng muttered that this matter still needed to be discussed. He thought Wu Tong should arrange someone to handle it, and Li Feng didn't need to worry about the specific matters. It was called an investment, but to put it bluntly, it was a bit like giving money away.

The B&B business itself is not that big. An investment of 50 million, no, now it’s 100 million. Unless you squander it with a blind eye, you really can’t spend it all in a short time. It’s better to say that this money is invested in Li Feng rather than in a B&B.

Fifty million! Li Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. He just heard what his elder brother meant. He was not in a hurry at all and was waiting to go back and talk about it. He really wasn't afraid of the person running away. Li Liang didn't know what to say. He couldn't get involved in his elder brother's affairs.

Li Feng didn't say much and changed the subject to talk to the old couple Li Fuan about traveling.

"It's a hot day, forget it."

The couple was a little hesitant about spending money. Traveling is just a waste of money, after all. "Mom and Dad, the kids are at their mom's place and have some free time. I'll take you out for a walk. That way, when it gets hot, we can just take a ride. It won't cost much more."

"Kid, this money can be blown by the wind, why waste it for nothing?"

Zuo Chuanlan was still reluctant, and Han Zhaoxia also helped to persuade her. "Mom, is there a chance?"

"Yes, Mom, Li Liang and I are taking care of the house. You and my dad can go out and have fun for a few days. We haven't been away from home far in recent years because we have been taking care of the children from my second brother's family. This is a good opportunity for you to go around and have a good look." Wang Xiaohui said it well.

Li Feng had to admit that his sister-in-law was quite good at talking and usually had a sweet mouth, but of course she was a little cunning.

"What are you shopping for? How much does it cost to go there and back?"

"Mom, don't worry about money."

Li Liang chimed in. "Brother, we don't need this little money right now. People are rushing to give it to you."

"What? Who's rushing to give money?"

"No, I just said it casually."

Li Liang felt a little regretful after he finished speaking, as he had spoken nonsense.

"Mom, the third brother is right. I don't need this little money now."

Li Feng said, "Don't worry about it. Just have fun with Dad. Leave the rest to me."

"This kid."

Zuo Chuanlan glanced at Li Fuan and said, "Why don't you say anything? Going out to play is no big deal. I don't know how much it will cost. Why don't you say anything?"

"Forget it. Your mother and I are old and our legs and feet are not very good. We can't go far."

Li Fushan said this and sighed. He had been helping his second son take care of three children in the past few years and had never traveled far. He would be sixty years old next year, and he was afraid that he would never have the chance to travel far in this life.

"Dad, we have a car. Besides, when we go to the scenic area, we can just take the scenic shuttle bus and not have to walk much," Li Feng said with a smile. "When we come back from our trip, I need your help to contact someone. I want to build a small courtyard house on the vacant land to the east. It will be more convenient for us to live in when we come back."

"Brother, we already have a house at home, why spend this money?"

"Yes, brother." Wang Xiaohui also agreed with Li Liang.

"I have some money, so I want to live in a more spacious place."

Li Feng did not hide it. Although it was okay to live in the third brother's house, it was still a bit inconvenient. The conditions were not so good in the past. Now, hundreds of thousands of yuan were nothing to Li Feng, so he would definitely improve his situation.

"I'll get some money later and find someone to help with the planning."

"That works."

Li Fuan didn't care about Zuo Zhuanlan's expression. His eldest son was really rich. It would be good if he built a house. He could come back more often in the future. After all, his eldest daughter-in-law was not an ordinary rural person. She didn't come back for several Chinese New Years because she had to take a bath in winter. Even if she came back, she would go back to Chicheng after the New Year without staying for long.

If this house is built, the problem of taking a bath will be solved immediately, and the family can live here for a longer time. As they were talking, someone came. Li Feng looked up and saw that it was his second aunt and the brothers Wang Long and Wang Cheng.

"Second Aunt..."

"Come in and sit down."

He invited his second aunt, Wang Long, and Wang Cheng into the house. Wang Cheng had been here yesterday, but had gone back home in the evening. He went back and told Zuo Chuanzhi about Li Feng buying a two million yuan car. At that time, his brother Wang Long muttered, "My cousin is really confused. Buying such an expensive car these days, I'm afraid it will depreciate as soon as it leaves the 4S store. It's better to invest in some projects. Two million yuan can do a lot of things."

Of course, Wang Cheng replied, how do you know that your cousin has no investment projects? Maybe two million is just a small amount of money to him. At that time, Wang Long curled his lips. He didn't understand his cousin's situation, unless he was lucky enough to make a fortune.

I came here early this morning with Wang Cheng and Zuo Chuanzhi. I saw a luxury car worth over two million yuan. It was nice, but it was a shame. It was such a waste. (End of this chapter)
