Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1219: Is this enough to last for several days?

The old man and woman still left.

Xiao Wei's mother said, "It's good for them to go shopping. These past few days have been so stressful, it's been awful, your auntie almost went crazy. That Zhang Fu, if we catch him, we'll give him a good beating. Do we really think we can get that money back?"

Xiao Wei said, "If it really is a scam, we can definitely get it back."

Xiao Wei's mother thought for a moment and said, "What if he's not a scammer? What if it's a legitimate business and Zhang Fu messed it up?"

Xiao Wei said, "Then let's keep going. I'll invest some more to set up the framework and hire a manager. You don't need to worry about this. We'll talk about it when I get back from Shanghai. We don't even know the specifics right now."

Xiaowei's mom asked, "When are you going?"

Xiaowei said, "We're waiting for Xiaohui to come back. Xiaohong and I have to go back to the city, it'll probably be the 3rd or 4th. Wait a minute, why aren't you at work?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "How can I not manage things at home like this? How am I supposed to go to work?"

Xiao Wei asked, "What about Bei Bei?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "He's at kindergarten. Let's go pick him up later. He misses you too; he calls out for you in his dreams. Should we go back to the city to take care of him?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'll take her. I'll go back and see Sister Guifang and her grandma. I also promised to take her to the children's playground."

Xiaowei's mom said, "The other side is almost finished. The park is practically done, and the villas are almost finished too. It's just that the two apartment complexes with elevators will take a while longer. Where are we really going to move to? When will we move?"

Xiao Wei said, "Once it's all set up, we can leave it for a bit and then move it. You guys can arrange your own time. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to come back by then."

"Will I be able to understand anything while studying there? Will it be useful?"

"Yes, it is still useful."

"You seem to have a lot going on over there? Is Xiaomei doing well?"

"It's alright. Right now, we're just building. We've set up a company in Hainan, and we'll be busy there for a while. Sister Xuemei is learning computers now, and she seems much more cheerful than before. Now, Xiuer and Chen Xiao are always dragging her along to do this or that."

Xiaowei's mother shook her head and sighed, "What are we going to do in the future? Are we just going to stay at home and be old maids for the rest of our lives?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's take it slow. Who knows what the future holds? I don't think so. Just relax a little."

Xiaowei's mother said, "None of them are easy to deal with. You lie down and rest for a while, I'm going to take a walk in the park." She wiped her hands and went out.

Xiao Wei looked around the room and realized he was all alone. He flopped onto the sofa and thought, "Okay, I'll just rest for a day and not do anything."

I drifted off to sleep, and slept like a log.

A pair of cool little hands covered his face, followed by a warm, damp touch. Xiao Wei opened his eyes groggily.

"Dad, hahaha, I thought Grandma was lying to me again, but you really came back."

Xiao Wei rubbed his eyes, turned over and sat up. Xiao Wei's mother came out of the kitchen and said, "If you want to sleep, go back to your room and get some rest. Aren't you uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa?"

Xiao Wei said, "I didn't want to sleep, I just lay there and somehow fell asleep. Ah~, ah. Wait for Daddy to wash his face." He touched Bei Bei's excited face, got up and went to the kitchen to wash his face with cold water.

Xiaowei's mom said, "There's hot water here, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's almost summer, why bother with ice?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "You're moving so fast. The trees haven't even sprouted yet and summer is almost here."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "I've been staying in Kyoto for a while now. It's warmer there than here, and my head is a bit foggy."

Xiaowei's mother said, "It'll be chaotic after two months. What would it be like if you stayed in Hainan for several months?"

Beibei peeked in through the doorframe, her little head peeking out, her eyes fixed on Xiaowei. Xiaowei's mother stuffed a meatball into Beibei's mouth: "Hurry up and play with the child for a while, I really miss you. Look at this little one, as if she's afraid she'll disappear again if she turns around."

Xiao Wei wiped his hands, picked up Xiao Beibei, and blew on her neck. The little girl curled up and giggled.

Xiao Wei asked his mother, "Have Sister Guifang and her aunt come over recently?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "No, I've called a few times. I heard from her grandmother that Guifang seems to be dating someone too, and that someone is pursuing her. I hope she can find someone suitable. That girl has had such a hard life. Once she gets married, we'll have her grandmother come and live with us."

Xiao Wei said, "Let me ask. Xue Mei is also a problem here. I don't know how we'll handle her in the future. I don't even know if she's easy to handle or not. I'll just have Chen Xiao and Xiu'er coax her."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Take it slow. She's not that old. It'll get better with time. Take her out more often and let her meet more people."

Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, she wants to open a bookstore. I asked the manager in Kyoto to help find a place. We'll also clear out a space for her in Zhongjie, Fengtian. It'll be better if she has something to do. Selling books means she'll be in contact with cultured people. I hope it goes well."

Xiaowei's mother nodded, looking around the kitchen wondering what to cook for dinner. She said, "These two goddaughters of Xiaohong's mother are both struggling. Sigh, there are so many people having a hard time these days. If you see someone struggling, help them out; it'll do your good for your child. Did you call Xiaohong when you got back?"

Xiao Wei said, "I said I'd be back today, but I didn't call. How about you guys go to Kyoto for a few days when it gets warmer? That courtyard there is so comfortable."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Let's see when the holidays start. There's no time now. You take the child out, I'll cook." As they walked to the door, Aunt Wang, who had gone to buy groceries, came in carrying a basket. Xiaowei's mother took the basket from Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang said, "I thought the baby kingfish looked fresh, so I bought some. I'll fry them in oil so my child will love them."

Xiaowei's mom said, "Okay, let's blast some then."

Xiao Wei carried Bei Bei out of the kitchen and into the pavilion outside.

Although it was almost May, the weather in Fengtian was still a bit cold. Xiaowei unbuttoned his coat and wrapped Beibei in his arms. The two of them sat in the pavilion watching the fish in the pond.

"Dad, what does Yuyu eat in winter?"

Xiao Wei said, "I don't know either. They're frozen over in winter and you can't see them. Who knows what they're eating down there?"

"Then, who delivered it secretly? Who?"

"You, it must have been you who secretly fed them treats, right? Was it you?"

"No, hehehe, it's really not, Daddy, hahaha."

"Dad, are you still leaving? Are you going on that business trip?"

Xiao Wei tidied her hair: "Yes, Daddy has to go out and earn money, right? Only with money can we live in a big house, buy nice clothes, and have good food."

"So how much money do you have? Enough to last several days?"

"Yes, I have some money now, enough to eat for several days."

"I have money too, I'll give it to you, just stay home a few more days, okay?"
