Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

After nearly an hour of bumpy travel, Yue Feng drove Wang Xiaona and Yu Panpan to the entrance of his restaurant.

Yue Feng parked the car with practiced ease, then rubbed his hands together and ran into the house impatiently.

The coat was draped over Yu Panpan's shoulders, and Yue Feng was freezing while riding his bike.

Seeing that Yue Feng and Wang Xiaona got out of the car and went into the house quite calmly, Yu Panpan also pushed open the door and went in.

Inside the house, Chen Hong, the eldest sister-in-law, was organizing the accounts behind the counter when she looked up when she saw someone enter.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaona, what brings you here? And who is this young lady?"

Yue Feng took off his gloves and hat, rubbed his frozen face, and then grinned as he said, "Sister-in-law, have the kitchen make a few bowls of ginger soup! I rode my bike all the way here and got chilled to the bone! This is Yu Panpan, my and Xiao Na's... friend!"

"Oh, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first. I'll have the kitchen make you some ginger soup!"

Chen Hong was suspicious, but she was very efficient and immediately went to make arrangements after responding.

Once inside, Yu Panpan looked timidly at the furnishings.

She had heard of this place more than once, but had never eaten here before.

Fengcheng Grand Hotel is the most prestigious hotel in Fengcheng. The cost of living here is quite high, and with her meager salary, she wouldn't dare to spend money here.

"Panpan, come here and drink some hot water to warm yourself up. My sister-in-law will have some ginger soup soon!"

Wang Xiaona leaned closer and gently tugged at Yu Panpan's hand, then pulled her to the stove.

"No need to trouble yourself, I can handle it!" Yu Panpan said stubbornly.

"Look at your face, it's all blue from the cold, and you're not even wearing a hat! What if you catch a cold!"

Wang Xiaona raised her hand to touch Yu Panpan's face with some heartache, but after seeing the slap mark on the other's left cheek, her raised hand froze in place.

"The handprint on my face was from my dad! I'm used to it!"

Seeing the change in Wang Xiaona's eyes, Yu Panpan didn't shy away from telling the truth.

"They're all swollen! I'll go ask the kitchen to cook you some eggs. The rolling eggs will be ready soon!" Wang Xiaona glanced at them with some concern, then turned and went through the corridor to the kitchen.

Only Yue Feng and Yu Panpan remained in the hall.

"Brother Yue, can you really help me handle things at home?" Yu Panpan asked again, somewhat nervously.

Yue Feng nodded: "It should be possible! Gambling debts are not protected by law! Forcing your parents to arrange a marriage is also illegal! We're in the right in this matter, so we're not afraid of anything, no matter where we take it!"

"But...but I have nothing to repay you with!"

Before you decide to get involved, I need to make this clear: I will never agree to date your brother just because you helped me! As for the money, I can write you an IOU and pay it back slowly..." Yu Panpan said with a determined look.

Yue Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this.

What a sensible child! Besides being brave, he is also very principled!

Yue Feng's affection for Panpan increased by another point.

"Dating is something you have to do willingly! I won't force you to do anything, otherwise, wouldn't I be just like those bastards who pressure your parents?"

I'm not bragging, but my brother is actually quite good in terms of character, looks, and circumstances!
Once you've settled down and things are a bit more stable, I'll find an opportunity to bring him over so you can meet him!

If you like someone, you can get to know them; if you don't, then it's just not meant to be, and you can just let it go. They definitely won't rely on the favor they did for you to pester you!

As for your family matters, if you need money to deal with them, I'll lend you whatever amount you need! You can pay me back when you have the money!

After hearing Yue Feng's very frank and open words, Yu Panpan felt relieved.

"Anyway, thank you!" Yu Panpan said sincerely.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing!"
You don't know, my younger brother is twenty years old this year and has never been in a relationship. He saw you once at the department store and has been unable to forget you ever since!

As the eldest brother, I definitely have to help make arrangements!

Unexpectedly, I rescued you by a twist of fate; it must be destiny!

While the two were talking by the fire, Chen Hong returned carrying a large bowl and three small bowls.

The large bowl contained simmered ginger soup, which emitted a spicy aroma.

"The ginger soup is ready, drink it while it's hot! After you drink it, put on a hat and sweat it out to get rid of the cold!" Chen Hong said.

Yue Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He first ladled a bowl of soup for Yu Panpan, and then ladled soup for himself and his wife.

After a few sips of hot ginger soup, most of the chill in his body was immediately dispelled, and Yue Feng let out a long breath.

"Sister-in-law, are there any empty spaces in our staff dormitory in the backyard? Panpan will be staying here for a few days, could you help her prepare a bed?" Yue Feng continued.

"How long will she stay? Xiaolian and Erya share a room. The dormitory has a big bed, and if you squeeze in, you can sleep one more person temporarily! If she stays for a long time, I'll help her find another small courtyard to stay in!" Chen Hong answered truthfully.

“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to go to so much trouble. I’ll just stay for a few days! I just need a place to sleep!” Yu Panpan shook her head repeatedly when she heard that her sister-in-law wanted to rent a house for her.

Chen Hong: "Then I'll squeeze in with the waiter! I'll bring a set of bedding from home later!"
Don't worry, little sister. Xiaofeng brought his friend here; make yourself at home and stay put!

"Thank you, Brother Feng, Sister-in-law!"

"You must be hungry after all this commotion, right? Xiaona and I haven't had lunch yet. Let's grab something to eat and warm up. I'll head back this afternoon and take care of the rest!"

"Row!"

……

After a brief exchange, Yu Panpan's emotions gradually stabilized. Wang Xiaona cooked the eggs and then rolled them on her face for a long time. The slap marks on her face visibly faded a lot.

When Yue Feng and his wife Wang Xiaona came to the restaurant for a meal, their sister-in-law Chen Hong didn't hold back at all and prepared several hot dishes for them. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yue Feng asked her to ride his bicycle home to bring their bedding back here.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Hong quietly inquired about the general situation. After Yue Feng told his sister-in-law, Chen Hong's eyes lit up.

Chen Hong: "Judging from her words, actions, and attitude, this girl is a smart and sensible child. She is also quite good-looking. If she could get together with Xiao Tao, it would be a great thing."

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe! Xiao Na said the same thing! Let's give it a try. She's a vocational school graduate and a full-time employee at a department store!!"

"That would be even better! She's well-educated and reasonable, and no matter where she works, she'd be a great wife and mother!"

……

Half an hour later, Yue Feng returned on his motorcycle with his sister-in-law.

In the side compartment, I pulled over a spare set of bedding from home.

Chen Hong was very enthusiastic in the face of her future sister-in-law, personally arranging bedding for Yu Panpan and even leading her to greet the two service staff who would be sleeping with her.

And so, Yu Panpan settled down at the hotel for the time being.

After finishing his business, Yue Feng said goodbye to Yu Panpan and drove his wife home to tell Xiao Tao the good news.

Although he had promised to help and would do what he was supposed to do, whether he and Xiao Tao would hit it off was still a very important question. When Yue Feng went to pick up his bedding in the afternoon, he wanted his sister-in-law to find a thick women's cotton coat for Yu Panpan, but she refused without hesitation.

The task of delivering clothes was left to Xiao Tao himself; since he was staying at the hotel and wouldn't get cold, he wouldn't be going out anyway.

……

At 3:10 p.m., Yue Feng drove his wife back to the village, looking travel-worn.

The motorcycle didn't stop in front of the new house; it went straight to Xiao Tao's house.

Xiao Tao was staying home watching TV during the winter when he saw his older brother and sister-in-law arrive, so he immediately went out to greet them.

"Brother, sister-in-law! What brings you here!"

Yue Feng pursed his lips: "Didn't I promise to help you find a wife? I've found out about the girl you've got your eye on with your sister-in-law!"

"Really? What's her name? What's her situation? Does she have a husband?"

Upon hearing that it was about his boyfriend, Xiao Tao's eyes lit up instantly, and he began to ask questions.

Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao: "Steady enough! How old are you? Still acting like a child!"

"Oh!" Xiao Tao scratched his head, still unable to hide his excitement.

"That girl's name is Yu Panpan, she's from Huangnitangzi Township. Your sister-in-law and I met her this morning..."

Yue Feng told Xiao Tao everything about going to the department store, how he inquired, and how he went to the other party's hometown.

"What kind of parents are these! They're forcing their daughter into a fire pit!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tao clenched his fists and jumped up from the bench, his eyes wide open and his breathing rapid.

"Don't get agitated! It didn't work out, did it? She ran away from home, and your sister-in-law and I happened to run into her!"
She's at our restaurant right now. I've already spoken to my sister-in-law and arranged for her to stay there for the time being!

Tomorrow morning, once you're all dressed neatly and properly, I'll take you to meet the person! If they're not opposed, we'll find out more about them and deal with any potential problems!
"When the time comes, you and Yu Panpan should get along well and try to settle down as soon as possible!"

"Tomorrow morning? This... isn't it a bit..."

When Xiao Tao heard that Yue Feng had arranged a blind date for him the next morning, he immediately became shy and blushed.

"What's wrong? Was it rushed?"

"Yeah, we need to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise it will seem like we have a strong ulterior motive, like we're taking advantage of someone's misfortune!" Xiao Tao continued.

Yue Feng spat: "Pah, finding a partner is the important thing, what's with all this talk about having a purpose! Just do as I say!"

My sister-in-law gave me a suggestion: she left home in such a hurry that she didn't wear a cotton coat, so tomorrow you should go there under the pretense of delivering clothes.

Young man, be confident and upright wherever you go! Whether it works out or not, behave properly and don't bother people!

"Hmm! What should I wear tomorrow? I've never been on a date before, I have no experience!" Xiao Tao scratched his head, looking uneasy.

"Wear the same outfit you wore when I was your best man! Put on a military overcoat! Ride your family's snowmobile there!" Yue Feng suggested.

"Okay! I'll do as you say! Do you have any cotton-padded coats ready-made? Or, shall we go to the department store and buy a ready-made coat?" Xiao Tao continued to ask.

"No need, your sister-in-law is about the same size as her, just have her find one for you! If you two get along well later, then you can take your partner to buy one!"
"Oh, by the way, buy a set of toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and hand towels before you go and bring them with you!" Yue Feng, an experienced person, reminded him.

"Yes, I've got it!" Xiao Tao nodded emphatically.

"Meet me at my doorstep at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Don't oversleep! I'm off!"

"it is good!"

……

After reminding his younger brother, Yue Feng said goodbye to Wang Xiaona and left Xiao Tao's house.

After seeing his older brother off, Xiao Tao entered a special state at home that was hard to describe.

Excitement, trepidation, agitation, worry—a complex mix of emotions filled his little mind, and for a short time, he even seemed a little restless.

Tonight is destined to be a night of trepidation.

The next morning, Yue Feng got up on time as usual, let his hawks roam around, and ate breakfast. At 7:55, Xiao Tao arrived promptly, all ready to go.

Xiao Tao followed Yue Feng's reminder to the letter without fail yesterday.

He wore a double-breasted Zhongshan suit, shiny military training shoes, and his hair was clearly styled.

Xiao Tao already had a very good foundation, and after this makeover, to use a trendy phrase, the young man is absolutely stunning.

"Brother, do you think my appearance is okay?" Xiao Tao asked somewhat nervously as he stood in front of Yue Feng.

Yue Feng looked her up and down: "No problem! When you meet the girl, think before you speak. Be mindful of what you should and shouldn't say! Don't be as carefree and immature as usual!"
Of course, there's no need to be too reserved!

Finding a wife is all about fate. If you click, everything is perfect; if you don't, no amount of sweet talk will help!

"Okay, I understand!" Xiao Tao nodded emphatically.

Yue Feng tossed the keys to Xiao Tao: "You ride your snowmobile there! I'll go with you. We'll buy some groceries first, then go to the restaurant!"

"okay!"

……

Like a worried old mother, Yue Feng nagged and gave his younger brother a long lecture about his first blind date. Afterwards, the two brothers rode two vehicles out of the house and headed straight for Fengcheng city.

Now let's talk about Yu Panpan.

After Yue Feng and his wife left yesterday, Yu Panpan stayed in the dormitory for a few hours to rest briefly.

When the restaurant opened for business in the evening, she cleverly joined the other two waiters to help with the work.

Xiao Ya is quick-witted and perceptive. Even though it was her first time working as a waitress, she quickly got the hang of it after just a short observation while following behind Er Ya.

She served dishes, greeted guests, delivered water, and cleared away bowls and chopsticks, doing her job skillfully and without making any mistakes.

At first, Chen Hong didn't allow Yu Panpan to do any work, but the young girl was quite clear about her situation and position, and persuaded her sister-in-law with just a few words.

After most of the customers had left the store, Chen Hong had a deeper impression of Panpan's performance.

This girl is definitely a capable person.

That night, Yu Panpan had trouble sleeping in a different place. She habitually reviewed her day's events and became increasingly certain that she had met a benefactor.

The young girl even secretly decided that as long as Feng Ge's younger brother wasn't too bad and she could find him attractive, dating him wouldn't be out of the question.

Little Tao has no idea yet that he, the main character, hasn't even shown up, but he's already won by more than half! (End of Chapter)
