After the review was over, the sky outside also darkened. Li Jie returned home just in time for dinner, but what made him a little strange was that Du Wenhui and his wife seemed to be a little worried while eating.
However, the two did not talk about these things in front of the two 'children', so Li Jie could not ask more questions and could only guess secretly.
Suddenly, Li Jie thought of a possibility. Could it be that something happened to the Du family's business?
Reminiscent of the fact that Du Wenhui and his wife have been going out early and coming back late every day recently, and they have no time to connect their children to school.
This is unusual. Normally, no matter how busy he is at work, Du Wenhui would still find time to pick up his children from school.
Little Loli Xiaoxiao recently complained to him about why her mother didn't come to pick her up after school. Did she make some mistake that made her mother unhappy?
If you think about it carefully, it seems not impossible. As we all know, the economy of country R faced an unprecedented crisis in the 1990s.
Starting in 1995, the real estate industry in Country R began to experience a real collapse, a very complete one, and the economic crisis that swept across East Asia in 1998 dealt another heavy blow to the economy of Country R.
Even though the government of country R took many measures, it was still difficult to curb the economic collapse, and later generations called this decade the "lost decade."
Although the general environment is not good and all walks of life have been affected, logically speaking, the Du family's business should not be affected much.
The 1990s was the beginning of the domestic economic take-off. With the gradual advancement of reform and opening up, the country's borders were gradually opened.
The trade exchanges between China and Country R are also increasing, and the Du family is engaged in related work.
Therefore, Li Jie believed that the crisis in Country R would not affect the Du family's business.
After thinking for a moment, Li Jie couldn't figure it out in his mind. After all, he couldn't predict the future. With too little reference information, he couldn't make a correct judgment.
‘Just observe and observe.’
It was night, everything was quiet. Du Wenhui glanced at her husband, who was sitting by the window and meditating alone, and walked lightly to his side.
"Lao Du, I support you. If you want to do it, just do it."
Lao Du turned his head and glanced at his wife. The smile on his wife's face looked particularly gentle under the light. At this moment, Lao Du made an instant decision in his heart.
"Thank you, Wen Hui, I am so lucky to meet you in this life."
"We are already an old married couple, and we are still talking about this."
Du Wenhui spat softly, his expression a little awkward.
"Elbow, follow me into the house."
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed by. Through observation during this period, Li Jie found that Du Wenhui and his wife seemed to have become busier.
I go out early every day and come back mostly after ten o'clock.
However, Li Jie's worries were put aside, because although Du Wenhui and his wife were getting busier and busier, the hesitation on their faces became less and less.
Seeing this, Li Jie guessed that even if something big happened to his family, it would probably not be a bad thing.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Jie went to the elementary school to pick up little Lolita and was about to take the bus home. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw a royal blue Bluebird parked not far away.
"Brother, brother, mom is here!"
The little Loli pointed to the car in the distance and shouted excitedly. During the recent period, Du Wenhui and his wife have been busy with work and ignored the little Loli's feelings, so the little guy's mood has not been very high recently.
And today when she saw her mother coming to pick her up, the little Loli felt very happy.
"Mother!"
Seeing Du Wenhui walking towards him, the little Loli immediately broke away from Li Jie's hand and rushed over without saying a word.
Seeing the smile on her daughter's face, Du Wenhui couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
During this time, the couple really ignored their child's emotions.
But there is no way, they have been too busy recently, and it all stems from that meeting two months ago.
Two months ago, Du Wenhui's husband, Du Feng, received a call from overseas. The caller was Du Feng's college classmate Qian Feng.
Unlike Du Feng, who went into business early, Qian Feng has always worked within the system. The two had a good relationship when they were in school. Although they are thousands of miles apart, the friendship between the two has not diminished at all.
As time goes by, the pace of domestic reform has gradually accelerated, and with it, various policies have become more open.
Ten years ago, there was basically no room for the private economy to survive in the country. Self-employment was still a derogatory term and was incompatible with mainstream society. Usually only unemployed youths, labor reform prisoners and other blind migrants would become self-employed.
However, times have changed, and ten years have passed, and self-employed is no longer a completely derogatory term.
Therefore, Du Feng had no choice but to leave his hometown.
In fact, Du Feng wanted to return to China deep in his heart. If given the choice, no one would want to drift abroad alone.
However, the general environment in China has not been very good, so Du Feng buried his homesickness deeply in his heart.
As years passed, Du Feng got better and better in country R, and gradually he gave up on returning to the country.
It wasn't until two months ago that Qian Feng called to invite Du Feng to return to China to buy a house. The long-buried feelings finally broke out again.
It's just that after so many years, Du Feng finally made his way in Country R, and he gave up when he said he wanted to. For a while, he was really reluctant to let go.
Therefore, Du Feng has been a little depressed some time ago. On the one hand, it is the motherland, and on the other hand, it is the foundation he has worked hard for for many years.
No matter which one he chooses, it is a very difficult choice for him.
Du Feng did not hide all this and told Du Wenhui. Seeing her husband's unhappy look, Du Wenhui finally decided to give her husband a push.
The authorities are obsessed, but those who watch are clear. The two have been married for many years. Du Wenhui knows Du Feng very well. She knows very well what her husband needs most.
When I returned to my country, I gave up only a temporary foundation, but got something that no matter how much money I spent, I couldn't buy it.
Precisely because of Du Wenhui's statement, Du Feng was completely determined.
Return home!
Both husband and wife are action-minded. Now that they have made a decision, they quickly started making preparations for returning to China.
First of all, the company's business must be cleaned up. Some unnecessary businesses must be stopped as long as they can, and those that cannot be stopped must be prepared for delivery.
Secondly, various real estate properties also need to be disposed of, even if the market is not very prosperous now and the sale will be somewhat disadvantageous.
But what should be sold must still be sold. It will cost a lot of money to set up a factory after returning to China. If you can get some money back, do it as soon as possible.
Moreover, they have no intention of returning to country R this time. If the real estate is not sold, can they still keep it to eat?
Finally, the education problem of the two children cannot be delayed, but this is the best solution. Qian Feng is one of the leaders of Fangyuan City, and the schooling problem of the two children is not a problem at all to him.
