Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

Now that he had dealt with Wang Dana, Luo Feng decided to find a courtyard right away. However, it was already late, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.

And so, Luo Feng returned to the shop. He found a bamboo pole and told him to remember to pick up the trays from Wang Dana's place. Afterward, Luo Feng didn't go to the kitchen, but went upstairs alone to start organizing the wedding planning documents he had written earlier. These were crucial to Luo Feng; they were the guarantee of his future business, so he couldn't be too meticulous.

As they were tidying up, Zhu Gan approached with a mysterious look on his face. Seeing his sly expression, Luo Feng knew what he was thinking. He playfully smacked Zhu Gan on the head and chuckled, "You little rascal, are you trying to hit on someone's girl?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would want to have a daughter for someone like Wang Dana? That's his niece," Zhu Gan said seriously.

"Well done, kid. You've got this all figured out. Looks like you've put in a lot of effort." Luo Feng said, punching Zhu Gan hard in the chest again.

"I just thought the girl was pretty and I liked her, so I chatted with her," Zhu Gan said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

“Let me tell you, you better watch out. Wang Dana said that if you harass her niece again, she’ll break your legs.” Luo Feng told Zhu Gan about his conversation with Wang Dana that day.

"Broken my leg for this? Are you kidding me? Do you think this is still the old society? I'll sue him if you're not careful." Bamboo Pole said with a look of disdain.

"Then aren't you afraid that the girl will never talk to you again?" Luo Feng teased the bamboo pole.

"That's true, that's not good." Bamboo Pole nodded somewhat sheepishly.

"Let me get serious. That girl is pretty nice. If you like her, go for it, but don't ruin her life. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you." Seeing that Zhugan was being irresponsible, Luo Feng warned him seriously.

You should know that what you hate most are men who start relationships and then abandon them, men who are irresponsible towards their women. Luo Feng naturally doesn't want any of his brothers to be like Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife); just thinking about it makes him feel disgusted.

"Okay, I got it. Brother Feng, teach me how to woo this girl." Zhu Gan nodded in agreement to Luo Feng's question, then leaned forward with a sly grin and asked.

"Don't ask me that question. We're both single, and I'm not much better off than you," Luo Feng said, giving him a disgruntled look.

"So how did you and Xinghua's mother meet?" Zhugan asked with a curious look.

"What's it to you? Get down there and do your work. If you don't, I'll dock your pay, believe it or not." Luo Feng thought for a while and realized he had absolutely no information on this, so he could only say fiercely to the bamboo pole.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Bamboo Pole shrank his neck and then went downstairs.

"Those brats, they never give me a moment's peace," Luo Feng muttered, watching Zhu Gan's retreating figure as he went downstairs. After tidying up his things, he prepared to rest. He was planning to find a courtyard tomorrow. He didn't need to worry about the kitchen anymore; Hu Zi was already capable of handling things on his own.

The next morning, Luo Feng first took his daughter to kindergarten. After all, she still needed to go to school. Afterward, Luo Feng wandered around the county alone, asking if anyone was interested in renting a courtyard.

Persistence pays off. After asking around all morning, I finally found a courtyard not too far from my shop. The courtyard wasn't big, and it was a mess. Perhaps because no one had lived there for a long time, it was overgrown with weeds.

However, none of this was a problem for Luo Feng; he could just ask Zhu Gan and the others to tidy it up. Next, Luo Feng, through the homeowner's representative, inspected the interior furnishings. Overall, the courtyard was quite old. However, it didn't affect habitation; with a little cleaning, it would still be habitable. For now, they'd just make do.

Having chosen the location, Luo Feng readily paid a three-month deposit. The agreed-upon price with the landlord was 600 yuan per month, a low price Luo Feng had negotiated for a long time. The landlord said he wouldn't rent it to anyone below that price and told him to find somewhere else.

At that time, there was no such thing as a rental contract. After paying the deposit, Luo Feng received the keys from the landlord, and he now had the right to use the courtyard.

Then, Luo Feng returned to the shop, intending to take advantage of the lull after everyone had finished selling breakfast to call a meeting. He planned to talk about his future plans.

"What? Brother Feng, you mean you want the three of us to follow Wang Dana's skills?" After hearing Luo Feng's words, Zhu Gan was the first to jump up.

"Sit down, what are you yelling about? You'll only get this high if you keep jumping." With that, Luo Feng pressed down on the bamboo pole's shoulder and kept pushing him down.

"I know you don't really like Wang Dana, but his skills are undeniable. Learning from him will benefit you all, allowing you to stay in the wedding industry longer," Luo Feng said earnestly to the group.

"We have you, Brother Feng, so we can just learn from you," Zhu Gan said, still somewhat unconvinced.

"I'm just a mediocre player, they're professionals, we can't compare to each other," Luo Feng said frankly.

“But we’ve had a falling out before, do you think he’ll teach me properly? He’ll just make our lives miserable.” Da Zhuang, who had been listening intently without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.

“Exactly, what if he messes with us?” Stone chimed in from the side.

"You can rest assured about that. Although no one trusts Wang Dana's character, his attitude towards work is still acceptable," Luo Feng reassured the three of them.

"Will this work?" The three of them were still somewhat skeptical.

"What are you afraid of? We have so many brothers here. If he dares to mess with us, we'll just fight back." Before Luo Feng could speak, the second brother suddenly spoke up.

"That's right, we have a lot of people, what are we afraid of?" The crowd immediately dispelled their doubts.

"Alright, you three, Zhugan, go and clean up the yard, and move all our wedding equipment over there while you're at it. Once you're all set, you three can move in there." Luo Feng said, handing the key to Zhugan.

"Wait a minute, what will happen to the business of the store after the three of them leave?" Tiger suddenly asked.

"The manpower problem is easy to solve. Biaozi and the other two will be here in a few days to learn how to cook big pot dishes with me. We can ask them to help out, and we can even pay them more wages," Luo Feng said casually.

"Also, second brother, could you go to the county high school and find a few students who graduated this year but didn't get into university? Tell them they don't want to go home and farm, they can come and help me," Luo Feng instructed his second brother. The second brother nodded, agreeing.

Luo Feng knew very well that not everyone could get into university in this era. Those who couldn't get into university could only go back to farm. He had given them a chance.
