Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 381: Dream or Reality (Finale)

Just as the two women continued to ask questions, there was movement on the screen. Chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs ran out like crazy, and even the mice did not stay underground. After so many years of education, most people knew that something must be wrong, and these animals were more sensitive than humans and could predict disasters.

Just when the ground was filled with fleeing wild cats and dogs, everyone could see with their own eyes that the ground was bulging up, and houses were collapsing one after another. The bulged areas were collapsing, and the entire visual range was in ruins. In just half an hour, an entire county town disappeared from everyone's sight.

On this day, the whole of China was silent. Even some so-called experts from abroad, who had once mocked the government for being held hostage by public opinion and wasting money and manpower for a few words, naturally shut up after seeing these scenes.

And what was the instigator doing? He fell asleep on the sofa at home. Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xuelin came back to their senses from the shock and secretly looked at each other. The look they gave Jiang Feng was as if they were looking at a god, full of worship. Zhao Xuelin took a blanket to cover Jiang Feng, and gently pulled Lou Xiao'e out.

When they walked out the door, they looked at each other, and Zhao Xuelin said, "Brother Feng has withstood all the pressure. Now it's our business."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and the two of them drove out to the group company. They made phone calls along the way to notify people of meetings. When they arrived at the company, some people were already waiting inside, and some were rushing over.

Zhao Xuelin stood up and said, "We won't wait until people arrive. Something has already happened. This time, a city disappeared in front of us. What was pulled over in the early stage was rescue and construction materials. There are still 50 people there, and food and clothing will become a problem. I will arrange things on my side. All clothing factories will start working overtime, and all the clothes they produce will be sent to Sichuan."

Lou Xiao'e went on to say: "Everyone can prepare for the reconstruction of the county. When the government issues a notice, we must submit our plans and bids as soon as possible. This time, I require that the profit margin be kept below 10%. In addition, we need to arrange for personnel to purchase materials and donate them to the people in the disaster area in the name of the group company."

Jiang Feng was lying on the sofa alone at this time. He was not asleep. The phone in the room kept ringing. The system broadcasting voice in Jiang Feng's mind also kept ringing. Jiang Feng was forced into the space by the system. The first sentence after entering the space was: "Host, please get ready. The time is up."

"What time has it come? Why has the space become different? What is this golden color?"

"The host's time in this world has come to an end. Please prepare yourself. The host has the last 24 hours left."

"You mean I'm going to die? I think there's nothing wrong with my body. Why is it so sudden?"

"Please prepare yourself. The reason cannot be told to you for the time being. You will know the cause and consequences of the matter after 24 hours."

Jiang Feng blinked, and for a moment he felt confused. Why was he going offline so suddenly? He still had things to explain. Yes, there was still one day, and there was still time. He said, "System, I want to go out. Why can't I go out?"

"Don't worry, the system is upgrading. This upgrade requires the host to enter sleep mode. Please wait patiently."

Jiang Feng moved his lips, wanting to curse but no words came out. If he locked himself up here for 24 hours, he would be doomed.

He thought about what he needed to say, so he took out a pen and paper and started writing. He asked his wife to take care of herself, and asked his sons and daughters to be filial to their mother and mommy. They were also in their forties and fifties and should also take care of their health. He also had grandchildren. Jiang Feng scratched his hair. There were so many things to say, how could he explain them all?

He said to the sky: "System, help me enter sleep mode, and wake me up when the upgrade is ready."

"Yes." Jiang Feng felt so hungry that his eyes went dark and he knew nothing. When Jiang Feng woke up again, the lights were already on and Lou Xiaoe and Zhao Xuelin were having dinner.

Seeing Jiang Feng wake up, the two of them got busy, some served food, some poured water, and urged him to wash his face quickly so that he could eat. Jiang Feng glanced at them and said, "Yes, yes, let's eat first."

Several people chatted while eating. Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xuelin told each other about their afternoon arrangements. Jiang Feng said, "Tell the children to come back tomorrow. I'll go talk to my cousin. I have something to say."

"Whatever it is, they all need to come back. I'm afraid some of them won't be able to make it in time."

"If you can't make it, we'll tell you later. I'll let you know after dinner. Even if it's far away, I can get back by plane."

The two looked at each other, and after dinner they made phone calls one after another. Since they had informed everyone, there was nothing to do in the evening. However, Jiang Feng looked like he was worried and would hold them tightly even when they went to sleep. They could only let him do what he wanted, as there was nothing they could do now anyway.

At dawn the next day, after breakfast, Jiang Feng looked at the countdown in the space. There were still 6 hours left. He pulled Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xuelin and said, "Xiaoxue, Xiao'e, my time is up. I have to leave."

The two were stunned. Jiang Feng continued, "I'm not kidding. I felt it since yesterday afternoon. There was a voice in my head reminding me not to be sad. Life, old age, sickness and death, the moon waxes and wanes. It's fine for me to be like this. I will die without any illness or pain."

"That's why you asked the kids to come back. Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"Well, if you can come back, just meet up. If you really have something to do, then come back from so far away. I just want you to be less sad for a few hours. It's okay."

Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xuelin picked up the phone again, confirming whether they had returned, were not in the car, and when they would arrive. For the grandchildren who said they would see the situation, they spoke sternly: "Family meeting, if you don't return, you don't have to say you are a member of the Jiang family anymore."

Some people knew something had happened just by hearing the tone of your voices. Some people didn't know, but the name of Jiang family was still useful, and they couldn't just throw it away. Those who needed to charter a car did so, and those who needed to drive drove, and they reported their whereabouts while driving, including where they were and when they would arrive.

After the call, the two of them sat there crying silently as if their muscles and bones were pulled out. Jiang Feng walked over and pulled them together, holding their hands and said, "Don't be sad. I only have two hands. I can't help you wipe your tears. Live well and take care of yourself."

Both of them looked at Jiang Feng with tears in their eyes. Jiang Feng sighed, let go of her hand, went into the house, took out a picture frame, and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, I'm sorry. I plan to give this letter to Xiaoxue for safekeeping. It's actually useless. I don't know how much use it still has now. It's just a thought."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao'e and I keep this letter together. Are you trying to chase Xiao'e away?"

"How could that be? You guys are fine, but I'm afraid it will be bad if the children fight over this reputation in the future. I'll settle this for you while I'm still alive. Xiao'e, promise me not to tell Jiang Xiao and the others."

"Then just ignore Jiang Xiao and Sisi. They are your children too."

"Why not? There will definitely be no problem with their generation, but it's hard to say about the next few generations. There will always be some unfilial descendants. This is just a talisman. I don't know if it's useful. You can tell them that if they really reach the end of their rope, they can ask Weiguo to help them."

Zhao Xuelin took the frame, took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Xiao'e, don't pay attention to him. We will take care of it. I believe the children will not fight over these things in the future. Just think of it as a thought, and it is also left by their father."

There was a sound of the doorbell outside. Jiang Feng saw that they had already discussed it, so he just let them do it. He went out and opened the door. Outside the door was He Yuzhu's family. He Xiao, He Min, and He Jie were also there. Jiang Feng called out, "Cousin, cousin's wife."

He Yuzhu grabbed Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Xiao Feng, are you lying to me? Has the rain arrived? I see that you don't seem to be feeling unwell. You have loved joking since you were a child. Of course, that's right. I was saying it. Look at your cousin. He is in better spirits than me. He still calls to scare me at such an old age."

"Cousin, I want to eat the braised pork and mapo tofu you made."

He Yuzhu was startled, his eyes were red, he wiped his eyes and said: "Okay, okay, He Jie, you go prepare the food, I will cook it myself today, call me when the food is ready."

He Yuzhu casually mentioned a few names of dishes, and He Jie went to the kitchen. Jiang Feng pulled He Yuzhu into the house. When Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiao'e saw Li Xiaoyan, they couldn't stop crying.

Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu sat on one side, looking at the two children sitting next to them, chatting casually. At this time, people came back one after another, including Jiang Xiao, Jiang Shiyan, Jiang Weiguo, and Jiang Siying. He Yushui also came and cried with her sisters-in-law.

Jiang Feng also asked about the recent company affairs. At 11 a.m., Jiang Feng asked everyone to sit down and said, "Cousin, I asked you to come here today to be a witness. I will also make some arrangements for the children. In fact, I have already divided everything with you when your mother retired, including the courtyards under my name. Do you have any objections?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't know why their father said this. The ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger. Jiang Feng continued, "My time is up. It's today. Please have lunch with me at noon."

The two men were fine. Shishi and Sisi burst into tears after hearing this. They held Jiang Feng's hands one by one. Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin, let's cook. Since they have no objection, if anyone regrets it in the future, you can beat them for me."

He Yuzhu also knew that he had to leave some space for their family. The grandchildren didn't even have a chance to talk. At this time, Li Xiaoyan came out of the room with a few people. Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xuelin stepped forward to pull the two daughters apart, and Li Xiaoyan followed He Yuzhu out.

Jiang Feng looked around and said, "I don't have any requirements for you. Just do your job well, remember the family motto of our Jiang family, and be filial to Mom and Mommy, and Dad will be satisfied."

Although Jiang Feng was always talking and laughing, the dull atmosphere in the room lingered for a long time. At 12 o'clock, it was time for dinner. He Yuzhu cooked the dishes, He Jie made steamed buns, and He Xiao and He Min served the dishes on the table. It was still the same Sichuan dishes. Jiang Feng said, "Go ask your cousin to come over and drink with me."

Jiang Shiyan ran out, and soon she came in with He Yuzhu. Jiang Feng said, "Cousin, drink two cups with me. If you don't drink, there will be no chance."

"Hey, you look so energetic, you don't look like someone who is going to leave. Drink, I have never drunk more than you in my life, you can't drink more than me this time."

"Yes, yes, it should be because you couldn't drink anymore. Now you are better and have many children and grandchildren. This is the treatment that the protagonist should have."

"What protagonist? We are all protagonists. Let's drink. Let's drink."

Jiang Shiyan's eyes were filled with tears. After waiting for her father and uncle to drink a glass, she picked up the glass and said, "Dad, I'll toast you a glass of wine. You must remember me."

Jiang Feng picked up a piece of tofu and ate it. He squinted his eyes and looked at his eldest daughter. He said, "Okay, if there really is another world over there, I will definitely remember you. Come, Dad will have a drink with you."

With the eldest sister Jiang Shiyan taking the lead, everyone behind them toasted Jiang Feng with a glass of wine. Jiang Feng took a sip of wine and a bite of food and ate so heartily that sweat began to appear on his head. The meal lasted until 2 o'clock.

Jiang Feng saw that the time was almost up, so he held up the wine glass and said, "Okay, you are all good kids. Live a good life, be filial to your parents, and love your brothers and sisters. Then I will feel at ease. You will have enough food and drink, and at least you will not starve to death."

Putting down the wine cup, with only half an hour left in his mind, Jiang Feng waved Zhao Xuelin and Lou Xiaoe to go into the inner room together, found the clothes that had been prepared long ago, poured water to wash his face, kissed them on the cheek, and said with a smile: "It's great to have you in this life."
