Chapter 263 - 161: Your Main Battlefield 2

The first floor is filled with general customers who are not too picky. Yang Xiaomei and her mother can use them to practice and gain experience.

Once they become skilled, they can provide nail services to high-end clients.

When conditions are ripe, they can set up a beauty and nail art training class.

Han Lei’s meticulous guidance and thoughtful arrangements filled Ms Yang with gratitude.

She has always hoped that Yang Xiaomei could learn some skills alongside Han Lei. Now seeing her daughter gradually grow under Han Lei’s tutelage, her heart is filled with contentment and joy.

Every day, Ms Yang walks briskly, wearing a broad smile, as if she has become several years younger.

During the busy days of Han Lei and the others, Big Fatty was not idle either.

He was filled with curiosity about what Han Lei said about the honeycomb coal stove and household water supply, and he couldn’t suppress his urge to explore them.

After settling his family in the Capital City, he rode alone on horseback and hurried to Canzhou.

With the address provided by Han Lei, Big Fatty quickly found the Zhao family’s residence in Fufeng County.

The Zhao family’s house was simple and elegant, with two lush yellowhorn trees in front, giving it a particularly tranquil feel.

Big Fatty was filled with emotions, as if he had returned to the days of playing around with Zhao Zun in his childhood.

The old lady was leisurely reading under the jujube tree in the courtyard. The sunlight shone through the leaves, fragmentedly illuminating her silver hair and her kind face.

The gatekeeper led Big Fatty inside, and when the old lady looked up and saw Big Fatty, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

"Hanlin? What brings you here?"

The old lady put down her book and stood up, full of joy in her eyes. She spoke to Big Fatty with kindness.

In the old lady’s eyes, Big Fatty was different from Hua Tianyou.

Hua Tianyou was naturally a libertine and unreliable.

But Big Fatty just didn’t like studying and preferred tinkering with gadgets, yet he was steady and reliable.

Big Fatty walked forward with a smile and respectfully saluted.

"Auntie, long time no see. I’m here for Zhao Zun. Where’s Zhao Zun?"

The old lady frowned slightly and sighed.

"Zun went to Beiguan some time ago for an inspection and won’t be back anytime soon. I haven’t seen him for a while. However, Tianyou is still here."

"Hua Tianyou is also here?"

Big Fatty was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Zhao Zun, Hua Tianyou, and he grew up together as close as brothers.

Though they each became busy with their own lives as they grew up, their deep friendship remained unchanged.

Now able to reunite here with them, Big Fatty felt their bond was truly unbreakable.

"Yes, Tianyou has been here for quite a while," the old lady said with a smile, with a hint of comfort in her eyes. "He’s working at the cement factory and is very busy every day."

"Hua Tianyou is working?"

Big Fatty widened his eyes, thinking he heard wrong.

Hua Tianyou was known in the Capital City as a libertine son of wealth, indulging in leisure, and had never been heard of working.

The old lady saw his expression and couldn’t help laughing.

"Yes, Tianyou trained in the military camp, gained some military merits, and originally planned to return to Capital City. But for some reason, he stayed here to work and didn’t want to leave."

Big Fatty’s mouth twitched, unable to resist teasing: "No way? When did Hua Tianyou change? Is he now addicted to working?"

The old lady saw his disbelief and continued: "Tianyou has been quite conscientious here, busy every day."

Upon hearing this, Big Fatty became even more curious, eager to see Hua Tianyou at work.

The old lady glanced at the time and said, "It’s this late already, why not have dinner first? I’ll call him back and he can take you to see the cement factory tomorrow."

The old lady spoke while pulling out a small black box from her pocket.

Big Fatty was startled, staring at the box with full of curiosity: "What kind of thing is this?"

The old lady pressed a button on the box and began speaking to it.

"Hello, hello! Could you call Hua Tianyou, asking him and Ling’er to come home tonight. Tell them Hanlin is here and currently at home."

This thing can transmit messages?

Big Fatty’s eyes widened in shock.

He couldn’t help but lean closer, wanting to see what the box really was.

At that moment, a rustling sound came from the box, followed by a clear voice.
