Hua Jiafu almost cursed into the phone. He really didn't expect that the person calling him at this hour was not a customer, but his own mother.

Five o'clock! It's five o'clock in the morning!

At this hour, how many hours had he just fallen asleep? It felt like he had just closed his eyes when he was woken up by a phone call. His mother was an old man who didn't sleep much, so did he think he didn't need to sleep more?

"You guys called so many times that I didn't even notice I was helping you clean up the house and working in the fields. I just saw you. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I sent you a message saying that I called you twice, but your eldest brother didn't answer, so I had to ask you again."

Listening to his mother's nagging, Hua Jiafu tried hard to hold back the fragrance that was about to burst out of his mouth. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and replied:

"I called you to tell you that I will not be going back home for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so you don't have to bake so many mooncakes then.

As for my eldest brother, he is probably not awake yet. There is no need for me to call him and ask. I guess he will call you back when he wakes up.

Don't worry too much. We are all in our forties. What could possibly happen? If he doesn't call you before noon, let me know and I'll ask you then.

I'll hang up if I'm fine!"

After saying that, Hua Jiafu didn't wait for Wang Hongying to speak. He hung up the phone quickly, fearing that if he hung up too late, he would have to continue listening to his mother's endless nagging. The little sleepiness he had left was gone, and he couldn't sleep this time.

Over the years, with the help of his sister's clothing factory, he has opened several clothing stores, including one men's clothing store, two women's clothing stores, one elderly clothing store, and one children's clothing store. He bought one of the stores himself, and rented the other four. There was nothing he could do about it, because when people were selling storefronts, they had no money and were unwilling to borrow money. When they finally saved up money, storefronts were hard to buy and the prices were rising rapidly. He originally planned to use the money to buy three storefronts, but in the end he only bought one.

Over the past decade, he has saved a lot of money. He bought an apartment for his son, a van and a car for himself, and an electric bicycle for his wife. He still has some savings in his card, and his life is getting better and better.

He went to his sister's factory to purchase goods and went to bed late last night. It turns out that his sister has some business acumen. Not only does she sell clothes, she also opened a clothing factory, which allowed him, his elder brother and her in-laws to take advantage of her. Every family has bought a house and a car and saved up a lot of wealth.

It was a pity that the supermarket she opened didn't give him any discounts when he went to buy things. At most, they gave him a 10% discount card. Did he need that little bit? Why couldn't they give him a hard time like the clothing factory?

"Your mother called?"

Liu Wenhua, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly asked.

"Well, he said he cleaned the house for us yesterday and asked me and my brother what happened on the phone yesterday."

Hua Jiafu replied with his eyes closed.

"Oh."

After knowing the answer to the question she wanted to know, Liu Wenhua changed into a comfortable position and prepared to have another sleep.

In fact, she woke up when the phone just rang. For business people like them, it is impossible for their phones to be put on silent mode. Even on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, if there is business, they would rather not go back to their hometown for the New Year and do business.

Just like this time, because a store nearby was going to open during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flow of people would definitely be good at that time, and they were also thinking about whether they could get some customers at that time, so they canceled their plan to go back home.

Of course, this decision was Liu Wenhua's idea. Now she is in her forties and she doesn't have much desire to go back to her hometown for the holidays. So, except for the Chinese New Year, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, she basically finds excuses not to go back.

Her parents on her mother's side are both gone, and her brothers and sisters are now grandparents. Although they sometimes miss her, it is not as much as when she was the only one with them. She can see it clearly, so she rarely goes back to her mother's side to see her brothers on the second day of the Chinese New Year, let alone her sisters who are married far away.

Now all she has to do is take care of her own family and her son, and see her son grow up, get married and have children. Then she will help raise her grandchildren. These are all she hopes for in her life.

As for other things, she didn't think about anything else. She even chose to forgive her sister-in-law for not taking good care of her during her confinement. What else could she not let go of?

She has two daughters, and she doesn't know what kind of families they will end up with. She hopes they won't be a drag on her son. She doesn't expect anything else.

As Liu Wenhua was thinking, she fell asleep again without realizing it.

Hua Jiafu, on the other hand, became more energetic after hearing his wife's question.

He didn't think much of it at first, whether he went back home to celebrate the festival or not. After all, he was used to life in L City and didn't see any need to go back, except for the New Year.

But his mother called him and said that she had helped clean up the house, and he suddenly wanted to go back to see his mother.

But it’s hard to explain this to my wife.

After thinking about it, he didn't care what time it was and took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to call his eldest brother.

"Hello? What's up, Lao Er? Why are you calling me so early?"

Hua Jiabao yawned, his voice sounding hoarse and tired.

Since Ji Zhaodi's snack stall started making money, she slowly opened a snack bar. Later, she moved from the town to the county town, and from one shop to two, because Hua Jiabao resigned.

There's no way. Running a snack bar is so profitable. His annual salary may not be as much as his wife earns in a month. You can't really let him become a gigolo!

Fortunately, even though he didn't know anything, he had his wife watching over him and helping him, so he never encountered any major problems running the store on his own. He used the money he earned to buy himself a car, and the money his wife earned was used to buy the house they live in now, as well as his current store.

Since the storefront was hers, she felt at ease letting him do whatever he wanted with it. Unexpectedly, he actually made some money from it, which surprised Ji Zhaodi.

unexpected surprise.

"Brother, our mom called you this morning but you didn't answer, so she called me and said she went to clean up the house for us yesterday and didn't answer our calls. Why did you call? I'll let you know when I call mom back later."

Hua Jiafu did not directly say the reason why he called, but asked Hua Jiabao first.

"Oh, I'm not going back for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. The store's business is at its peak during the festival, so I plan to go back two days later."
