35: The couple discussed and began to plan
Long Feiyang frowned, his face full of worry, his eyes revealing deep concern for the infant girl.
He knew the complex environment of the Children's Orphanage and feared that the innocent child would be negatively affected in such a place.
When Li Wenting heard him say this, her heart also began to worry, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Then have you ever thought about adopting this child?" she asked tentatively, a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"How could I not have thought of it!" Long Feiyang sighed, his expression downcast, as if many frustrations were weighing on his heart.
"But Officer Liu said I don't meet the adoption requirements. Firstly, I haven't reached 30 years old, and secondly, I don't have a stable source of income, meaning I don't have the ability to raise a child."
He spread his hands, his face full of disappointment.
Li Wenting secretly found it amusing; there were probably few people in this world more capable of raising a child than Long Feiyang, but this was something she couldn't tell others.
"Then I'll think of a way, ask my friends, and see if I can find a kind-hearted family without children to adopt this child."
She said seriously, her eyes revealing a firm determination.
"Then I'll trouble you, wife." Long Feiyang's face immediately relaxed when he heard this, his eyes full of gratitude.
With his wife's help, he could save a lot of worry.
"Husband, how many ingredients can you really get?"
Li Wenting seemed to suddenly remember, asking curiously, her eyes sparkling with a desire for knowledge.
Long Feiyang lowered his head and calculated for a moment, then said, "Currently, about 36,975 tons can be produced daily. This includes 975 tons of rice, 30,000 tons of pork, and 6,000 tons of fish. This is an estimate based on the current situation. If it were other foods, the quantity would fluctuate."
He thought to himself that these figures were calculated with the ranch raising pigs at full capacity and fish at two kilograms per fish, and considering that the rice had gone through processes like drying and hulling, this output was already quite remarkable.
"That much?" Li Wenting's eyes widened, her face full of surprise, her mouth slightly agape, an expression of disbelief.
She really hadn't expected Long Feiyang to be able to get so many ingredients every day, no wonder he said last night that a family of three would never finish these foods.
"How about you look for Lou Bancheng? He's one of the shareholders of the Steel rolling mill, he might be a suitable trading partner."
Li Wenting's eyes lit up, she suddenly suggested, her face beaming with excitement.
"Lou Bancheng of the Lou Family?" Long Feiyang pondered for a moment, relevant information appearing in his mind.
"Before the public-private partnership, his family had many industries, so he is indeed a good candidate. I heard that Lou Bancheng also has a very beautiful daughter."
Most of this was dug out from the original host's memories; Zhao Huaian and others had mentioned it during their casual chats, but the original host wasn't sharp enough to figure out why they kept talking about these things.
"What? You want to go flirt with the Lou Family's daughter?"
Li Wenting's face darkened when she heard this, and she stared at Long Feiyang with an unfriendly gaze, her eyes full of jealousy.
"Wife, you misunderstood me."
Long Feiyang panicked, quickly waving his hands to explain, his face filled with anxiety.
"I wanted to introduce Sha Zhu to someone. Sha Zhu used to tell me that when he looks for a wife, he has to find a beautiful one, at least no worse than you and Sister-in-law Jia Qin Huairu."
Seeing the lingering suspicion in Li Wenting's eyes, Long Feiyang simply blurted out all of Sha Zhu's requirements.
"See, I just remembered that Lou Family's daughter is good-looking and has an urban hukou, which perfectly fits Sha Zhu's requirements. However, I think this Lou Xiaoe might have a bit of a pampered princess temper, not easy to get along with, and probably spends money lavishly."
"Brother Zhu wants to find a wife?" Li Wenting's attention was immediately drawn, her eyes full of concern.
Sha Zhu usually took good care of her, and in her heart, Sha Zhu was a truly good person, so helping him find a wife was her undeniable duty.
"How about I find someone to inquire about Lou Xiaoe's situation? You can't just guess like this, maybe the girl is actually very nice."
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, wife. I'll also have Red Queen help me screen other suitable girls, and by combining both sides' information, maybe we can find a good wife for Sha Zhu."
Long Feiyang said with a smile, his eyes full of trust.
Having Li Wenting inquire about Lou Xiaoe was much more appropriate than him, a grown man, doing it, as he already had a wife and needed to avoid suspicion in such matters.
Moreover, with Red Queen helping to analyze both situations, it would be more reliable.
Li Wenting got ready to go to work, and only then did Long Feiyang turn around to call Yaoyao to get up.
As Li Wenting walked out the door, she happened to see Sha Zhu walking towards her.
"Brother Zhu, let's go to work together." Li Wenting greeted him with a smile, her voice clear and pleasant, her face beaming with happiness.
"Oh, little sister, have you put on makeup? You look much prettier than before!"
Sha Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered something new, his face full of surprise and praise, his eyes revealing sincere admiration.
"Yes, Feiyang and I have reconciled, and from now on, he'll manage things at home."
Li Wenting was in a joyful mood, her smile as radiant as the spring sun, her eyes sparkling with happiness, as if all the gloom had dissipated.
"Haha, it's good that you've reconciled, live a good life from now on."
Sha Zhu said this, but in his heart, he felt that Long Feiyang managing things at home was not quite right, too irresponsible.
But seeing the couple so harmonious now, he didn't want to meddle, after all, such things, if not careful, could be well-intentioned but ruin the young couple's relationship.
Neither of them noticed that not far behind them, Xu Damao was pushing his bicycle out, having heard their conversation clearly.
Xu Damao looked up and also saw Li Wenting's appearance, only to feel that she was indeed much more beautiful today than usual.
"With makeup, she's much prettier than before." Xu Damao thought to himself, and his eyes immediately gleamed with greed again, the evil thoughts in his heart stirring once more.
Yesterday, he had inquired around and learned that Zhao Huaian and others were enemy agents, reported by Long Feiyang and sent to prison.
In his opinion, with Long Feiyang's helpers gone, it was the perfect time for him to get his revenge.
Xu Damao walked along, plotting evil schemes in his mind, an insidious and cunning smile unconsciously appearing on his face, a look that made people disgusted.
[Mistress, Xu Damao is following you from behind. He just showed an insidious smile, he's definitely up to no good. I've already informed the master.] Red Queen's voice suddenly came through Li Wenting's communication earpiece. She paused slightly, immediately became more vigilant towards Xu Damao, and subconsciously quickened her pace.
Along the way, Li Wenting's outstanding beauty attracted everyone's attention, and people turned their heads, whispering and discussing.
At this moment, Long Feiyang, who was still at home feeding Yaoyao, heard Red Queen's report, and his eyes instantly became sharp and fierce, as if he had transformed into a different person.
"Xu Damao, you better not let me catch you, or you'll be sorry!"
He gritted his teeth, growling in a low voice, his tone full of anger and threat.
After feeding Yaoyao, Long Feiyang took her out for a stroll.
Along the way, Yaoyao was like a cheerful little bird, full of curiosity about everything around her, her eyes constantly darting about, and joyful laughter occasionally escaping her lips.
Meanwhile, Long Feiyang seemingly nonchalantly walked towards the Lou Family's direction, subtly setting up the Sky Net and surveillance along the way, his eyes holding a profound meaning that others could not easily detect.
--- "Wen Ting, you're so beautiful today!"
Gu Shiyu exclaimed in surprise as soon as she saw Li Wenting, her voice full of admiration.
"I just put on some makeup." Li Wenting smiled somewhat unnaturally, using makeup to explain her change, masking a hint of nervousness.
Gu Shiyu, however, was like she had discovered a new continent, curiously circling Li Wenting, examining her from head to toe, muttering, "I don't see any traces of makeup, no, why has your skin become so fair? And, oh, it's so elastic."
Li Wenting's heart skipped a beat as she listened, thinking Gu Shiyu had noticed something unusual, and she nervously clenched her hands without realizing it.
"Could it be the nourishment of love that has made you radiant?"
Gu Shiyu's next words made Li Wenting's suspended heart drop, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this could be a good excuse.
However, at the thought of the intimate moments with Long Feiyang last night, Li Wenting's cheeks immediately flushed, and she was so shy she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Oh, oh, oh, you're blushing, could it be that last night..."
Gu Shiyu, as if she had discovered a secret, teased playfully, her face beaming with a gossipy smile.
In her panic, Li Wenting quickly reached out to cover Gu Shiyu's mouth, preventing her from saying anything more.
"Mmm mmm..." Gu Shiyu struggled hard, but she couldn't break free from Li Wenting's hand.
Now, she was even more certain that there was definitely a story behind this.
"Does love really have such great magic?" Gu Shiyu thought to herself, her eyes full of curiosity and gossip.
--- After completing all the arrangements on the way to the Lou Family, Long Feiyang stood there quietly, gazing in the direction of the Lou Family, his eyes filled with inquiry and contemplation.
He had never seen Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiaoe, so he couldn't provide Red Queen with their physical characteristics. He could only proceed like this for now and observe them carefully when he had the chance later.
After all, taking Yaoyao for a stroll meant he couldn't stay in one place for too long, otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicion.
So, Long Feiyang began to make other arrangements, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
Just then, the scheduled time in Long Feiyang's plan arrived.
In the distance, a vast, dark flock of birds appeared in the sky, flying towards Sijiucheng / Beijing.
Initially, people didn't notice, but it was only when the flock neared Sijiucheng / Beijing that sharp-eyed individuals spotted them.
Immediately, the entire Sijiucheng / Beijing erupted, people stopping in amazement to watch, discussing animatedly.
Such a massive flock of birds appearing collectively was too rare; many people had never seen such a spectacular sight in their lives.
[Sijiucheng / Beijing residents show moderate surprise, emotional value +4]
[Sijiucheng / Beijing residents show moderate surprise, emotional value +3]
...As the bird flock flew closer and closer, Long Feiyang's mind continuously received system prompts for emotional value. He subtly curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile, thinking: "Everything is proceeding according to plan."
