Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

In the days that followed, Luo Feng continued his simple life, running his small business and living a very fulfilling life.

As for Wang Dana, he hasn't shown up since he was taught a lesson last time. With his treacherous nature, who knows where he's hiding some evil scheme.

It's worth mentioning that during this time, Luo Feng would treat Officer Liu to meals and drinks every few days. Gradually, Luo Feng not only became familiar with him, but even got to know several leaders of the Public Security Bureau through him.

In retrospect, we should thank the incomplete oversight system for government personnel these days. Without this loophole, Luo Feng really wouldn't have dared to do this.

Who knows, if we don't do a good job, it might mean we have to start filming a real-life version of "In the Name of the People" ahead of schedule!

Luo Feng lived like this for almost three months, and he had long since recouped his initial investment of over ten thousand yuan. He even made a small profit.

Now that he had money in his hands, Luo Feng couldn't stay idle.

The first thing to do is to buy a tractor. It's not good to keep borrowing from others! Luo Feng had already found out about this. Buying an ordinary one would only cost six thousand yuan.

After looking around the store, Luo Feng realized the store was missing a color TV. Without hesitation, he bought it; it wouldn't make a difference to spend another thousand or two. He also decided to get a freezer; summer was just around the corner, so he could sell some cold drinks then.

Having made up his mind, Luo Feng took Hu Zi and Xing Hua with him and went out for a big shopping trip.

Before leaving, I told Bamboo Pole to keep an eye on the shop.

After that, the three of them went straight to the place in the county town where they bought tractors. When they arrived and asked about the price, the owner said, "A good one is 10,000, and a lower-quality one is 6,800. It depends on what kind you want."

Luo Feng figured that since he was just buying a tractor to haul things, he didn't need anything too fancy.

So he told his boss that he would just buy a regular car.

These days, people don't haggle over big-ticket items. It's take it or leave it; they're all in high demand anyway, so there's no fear of them not selling.

In the end, Luo Feng readily paid the money. As for how to drive it, Hu Zi already knew. After all, he had been practicing on Zhao San's tractor for several months.

The three then got on the tractor, preparing to head to the place that sold color TVs. Before leaving, the shop owner told Luo Feng that if there were any problems, he could bring them to him for repairs free of charge. He also gave Luo Feng a small bag of spare parts.

Then Luo Feng and his two companions went to a shop selling color TVs. In no time, Luo Feng spent 1500 yuan to buy a Changhong brand large color TV.

To be honest, this brand of color TVs is not very common in later generations.

Tiger quickly loaded the color TV onto the tractor. As for installation, since Luo Feng and his family lived in the county, the shop owner said they could provide on-site installation service.

These days, no matter what you're selling, everyone's talking about teaching you how to do it. So Luo Feng doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Without hesitation, the three of them immediately went to buy a large refrigerator. After all, summer was approaching, and the store really couldn't function without a freezer.

After that, Luo Feng spent another 1000 yuan to move back a second-hand freezer.

In just half a day, Luo Feng had spent nearly 1 yuan. It has to be said, money is easy to spend but hard to earn.

He drove the tractor back to the store, carrying a color TV and a freezer. Everyone gathered around to watch the spectacle; after all, these things were rare items these days.

He called over Shi Tou and Da Zhuang to help carry the color TV and freezer into the shop. Luo Feng then addressed the customers who were eating, saying, "Starting tomorrow night, we'll be serving ice-cold beer with grilled skewers and fried food. We hope you'll all come and visit."

"Boss, is this thing you're talking about delicious?" a middle-aged customer asked.

"That's right, make it clear beforehand, if it's not good, we won't pay!" a customer in the restaurant chimed in.

"Haha, whether it's delicious or not isn't up to me to say. You'll know once you come and try it. I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Luo Feng said with a laugh.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, Luo Feng specially prepared several cases of beer and put them in the freezer. He also prepared some kebab ingredients and asked Hu Zi and Da Zhuang to help him whittle a large bunch of bamboo skewers.

Everything is ready, and we're just waiting to open tomorrow night.

Then Luo Feng specially set up a shelf in the store to put a color TV on.

With all that prepared, Luo Feng asked Hu Zi to notify the owner of the color TV shop to come and help him install the antenna.

Without a doubt, the boss came that very evening. These days, doing business is never easy; you have to put in a lot of effort to keep customers satisfied.

After fiddling with it for more than half an hour, it was finally done.

Everyone was overjoyed watching the various scenes broadcast on TV, especially Xinghua, who clapped and jumped around in front of the TV.

That makes sense. Back then, we were all just a bunch of country bumpkins. Who had ever seen a television set before?

Therefore, everyone had a night that was destined to be unforgettable. For the first time, they had recreational activities after a long day of work.

It seems that everyone's bedtime will be delayed from now on.

After dealing with these matters, Luo Feng looked at his daughter, who was staring intently at the television. He thought to himself, "Xinghua is five years old this year; it's time to send her to kindergarten."

Luo Feng was not a conservative person. On the contrary, in this era, his thinking was relatively open-minded. The idea that "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" had no place in his mind.

Although Xinghua is starting kindergarten a bit late, there's nothing we can do about it. We didn't have the means before, but now that we do, we're determined to send our daughter to school. We can't let her grow up illiterate; she'd hate us for it!

Now that the decision has been made, I'll take Xinghua to buy school supplies in a few days. Although it's past the enrollment period and my daughter will have to join a class later, so be it. Education is something that should be done sooner rather than later.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng suddenly remembered that he had heard from customers at the restaurant that there was a kindergarten in the town.

Looks like I'll have to go check it out and maybe smooth things over with some connections.

However, although sending my daughter to kindergarten doesn't cost much, and I can afford it myself, enrollment requires a household registration booklet, and it seems my daughter isn't registered yet. It looks like I'll have to ask Officer Liu for help.

Early the next morning, Luo Feng took Xinghua to buy a complete set of school supplies.

Afterwards, he took the gifts to the Public Security Bureau. He pleaded and begged Officer Liu and several leaders in the bureau to help him get his daughter's household registration done.

For them, this wasn't a big deal. So Luo Feng quickly received a reply: "Registering your household registration is no problem, but it will take time; it might take a few days."

It looks like my daughter will be able to start school soon.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng would be so happy that he would wake up laughing even if he was asleep.
