Chapter 211: Dad, I Miss You (Part 2)

Kneeling in front of the tombstone, scenes from the past flashed before Zhao Qingfeng’s eyes.

He remembered many childhood memories, his father’s warmth and strictness, which appeared in his mind from time to time.

Tears flowed uncontrollably as the mother and son released their emotions, weeping together.

“It’s okay now…”

After releasing their emotions, Qingfeng’s mother felt much better, “Little Feng, it’s getting late, let’s go back. Just don’t forget the promise you made to your dad. It’s not easy for a girl to become a woman. Yaoyao is not as fortunate as you now. If you really love her, protect her for a lifetime and never let her down.”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded seriously, “Mom, I love her, and I will only love her in this lifetime.”

Qingfeng’s mother smiled gently, “That’s good to hear. Just remember, if you ever mess around, don’t blame me for ignoring you for the rest of my life. Don’t care how much money you’ve made, even if you become the richest man in the world, I will take Yaoyao and leave you, never to see you again!”

Her love for Shen Lingyao was no less than that of Aunt Ding.

Having watched her grow up, she truly saw no difference between her and a biological daughter.

Zhao Qingfeng’s promise was very sincere, and to reassure his mother, he made a decision, “Mom, how can you just walk away like that? Take all my money too. After tonight, I’ll give my bank card to Yaoyao. All my money will be in it. If one day I change my heart, you and Yaoyao can just take the money and leave me behind!”

This made Qingfeng’s mother laugh heartily, “Okay, we’ll leave it with Yaoyao. This way, Aunt Ding will also feel relieved.”

In matters of family and love, money is never the priority.

After chatting for a while and seeing it was getting late, they hurried back to the brewery’s family quarters.

At four o’clock in the afternoon.

The brewery’s family quarters experienced an unprecedented event since the community was established.

It wasn’t the parade floats that came, but many leaders from the county.

There were the top officials from the county government, including Deputy County Mayor Pang, and leaders from the provincial, municipal, and county education bureaus, as well as principals and secretaries from local schools, totaling over sixty people.

“Amazing!”

“Look at Little Feng. At the same age of eighteen, my son went to work in a factory, but he has so many high-ranking officials coming to invite him!”

“Such honor, truly, if I could experience this once in my lifetime, I’d die happy!”

“Did you see? The county mayor is shaking hands with Little Feng. My goodness, the flashes from the cameras are blinding me. I’m so envious!”

Everyone envied him.

Even Old Wang, was among the crowd, stroking his beard and proclaiming loudly, “I’ve watched Little Feng grow up, damn it, see, I’ve always said he would make something of himself! This kid is clever. When we first moved here, he was only eleven, already using me to trick his mom so he could go out to play, making fools of us all. Now tell me, isn’t that brain of his working just fine?”

He was visibly delighted, his mustache quivering with joy.

Just now, when Zhao Qingfeng returned, he had a chat with him, mentioning solving employment issues for his grandson.

The same went for the other neighbors.

Anyone with life troubles or job issues could reach out to Old Wang, who would compile and submit them to Zhao Qingfeng for resolution. With Wang Yang and Li Jianjun in the provincial city, solving their minor problems was indeed no trouble at all.

“Zhao Qingfeng, you are our county’s hero!”

The county mayor, though aging and about to retire, was very happy.

This was a significant event happening before his retirement, naturally adding to his ‘achievements’.

“Thank you!”

Zhao Qingfeng remained humble and composed, commanding presence.

“Are you ready?”

The county mayor held Zhao Qingfeng’s hand again, “The county’s grand celebration starts at six. If there’s no issue, bring your family along, and let’s head to the county government to prepare. We’ve already notified the public, and they can’t wait!”

“Okay!”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded solemnly, “Mr. Mayor, please wait a moment. I’ll go upstairs and call Yaoyao.”
