Li Dong didn't take Hu Wanlin's talk too seriously.
However, Li Dong still reminded Zheng Long to follow Wang Jia to prevent Hu Wanlin from taking revenge.
Although Zheng Long complained in his heart, he had no choice but to agree.
In fact, according to his plan, it would be best to get close to Li Dong while Zhou Haidong was not around these few days.
But now that Wang Jia was involved, Zheng Long felt helpless.
Li Dong did not care too much about what Zheng Long thought. Hu Wanlin was not a big shot. Li Dong only gave a few words of advice before throwing the matter of Hu Wanlin aside.
…
8th of September.
Tong Shan's 12 stores were finally open for business. So far, there were 25 stores that were officially open.
Li Dong didn't go to Tong Shan's grand opening.
Although he didn't go, Li Dong kept an eye on Tong Shan's situation.
On the opening day, Tong Shan's sales were quite good. By 9: 30 pm, the total sales of the 12 stores had reached 11 million.
Although the sales weren't as good as the seven stores in Mound City, it was still extraordinary. Li Dong was quite satisfied.
Tong Shan's store had just opened. On the 10th of September, the five convenience stores in Pingchuan also officially opened.
These five convenience stores had been used by Li Dong to snipe at the big supermarkets.
Because of Zhang Qing's interference, the construction was delayed. Otherwise, these convenience stores would have opened earlier than Tong Shan's store.
Now that Zhang Qing didn't cause any trouble, the opening went smoothly.
Although there wasn't much fanfare or decorations, the five convenience stores still gave Li Dong a big surprise.
On the opening day, the five convenience stores had a turnover of eight hundred thousand.
Although it was the sum of the five stores, the total investment of these five stores couldn't even compare to a county store. The fact that they had a turnover of eight hundred thousand was definitely out of Li Dong's expectation.
The provincial city was indeed a provincial city. Both the consumption level and the flow of people were much higher than the county.
Li Dong had a little more hope for the other stores in Pingchuan that were still under construction.
Perhaps this plan to cover all the stores in Pingchuan might really bring some unexpected surprises.
After all, Yaohai District wasn't the city center, and most of the people there were students. There might be other stores that could surpass the Longhua store.
Just as Li Dong was feeling happy about the prosperity of the distant land, Li Dong received a piece of bad news that he wasn't sure if it could be considered bad or not.
On September 12th, Li Chengyuan called Li Dong.
On the phone, Li Chengyuan was a little depressed. He said to Li Dong, "Your uncle is seriously ill. Come back and see him."
When Li Dong received the call, he was a little surprised. "Seriously ill? What illness? "
Li Chenghui was actually seriously ill. This didn't seem to have happened in his previous life. He remembered that his uncle was still full of energy even after he was reborn.
Li Chengyuan sighed and said, "Late-stage cancer. I'm afraid it won't last long."
This time, Li Dong was really surprised. Late-stage cancer. How was this possible?
It was possible to say that it was a sudden illness, but late-stage cancer was obviously not a new illness. History had actually changed!
To be honest, Li Dong was more surprised than sad.
He didn't have any feelings for this uncle. In his previous life, he hated him for many years. But now that he heard that Li Chenghui wouldn't last long, Li Dong still felt a little upset.
No matter how much hatred and hostility he had, Li Chenghui had never done such a cold-blooded thing in this life.
Now that Li Chenghui didn't have long to live, Li Dong's hatred quickly dissipated. He could only sigh at the impermanence of the world.
After all, it was his uncle. In addition, his father was feeling bad now. Li Dong didn't hesitate much and said, "I'll go back tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Li Chengyuan was in a bad mood. He didn't say much and hung up the phone.
…
The next day, Li Dong and Zhou Haidong rushed back to Dongping.
Li Chengyuan didn't go to set up the stall for a few days. When Li Dong came back, Li Chengyuan was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Li Chengyuan forced a smile and said, "Did you have anything to do on the road? Sit down and rest if you're tired."
Li Dong said, "I'm fine."
Then he looked at the ashtray on the coffee table and saw that it was full of cigarette butts. Li Dong advised, "Dad, don't smoke too much. It's not good for your health."
Li Chengyuan sighed and put out the cigarette butt.
Then he sighed and said, "Dongzi, what's going on? Your uncle is just 50 this year …"
Li Dong didn't know how to comfort him. Seeing that Li Chengyuan was in a bad mood, he had to say, "Dad, I'll accompany you to Qingyang in the afternoon. Don't worry. Maybe you'll be cured."
Although he knew that his son was comforting him, Li Chengyuan still held a glimmer of hope and said, "Dongzi, if we go to a big hospital, do you think this disease can be cured?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly. It was terminal cancer. How could it be cured?
Seeing his father's expectant face, Li Dong had to say, "It depends on what Li Qing says. Dad, don't worry about it."
"How can I not worry? I only have one brother, and he's not old … "
As he said that, Li Chengyuan felt a little sad. He knew that his son and Li Chenghui didn't have a good relationship, but Li Chengyuan still said, "Dongzi, why don't you arrange for your uncle to go to a big hospital in the provincial capital?"
"I have to listen to Li Qing and the others, but they may not listen to me."
This was not Li Dong's excuse. If Li Chenghui agreed, it was not impossible for Li Dong to help them arrange it.
However, Li Dong felt that it was unlikely. With Li Chenghui's children, he might be scolded for doing a good deed.
He had long been used to this kind of thing. If his father didn't mention it, Li Dong would definitely not say anything to avoid being bullied.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Li Chengyuan sighed again.
He knew that what his son said made sense, but he didn't have the final say on this matter. He had to listen to his father.
Seeing his father sighing, Li Dong hurriedly changed the topic. "Where's Mom?"
"Your mom is doing the accounts at the shop. She'll be back in a while. Let's go together in the afternoon."
As they spoke, Cao Fang pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw Li Dong, Cao Fang said, "Dongzi, is that your car downstairs?"
Li Dong nodded.
When Cao Fang saw this, she said, "No wonder it looks familiar. However, I saw someone in the car. Is it Old Zhou? We're already home. Why didn't you ask him to come up and rest? "
When she was in Pingchuan, Zhou Haidong had picked her up a few times, so Cao Fang also knew Zhou Haidong.
When Li Chengyuan heard this, he realized that his son didn't come back alone. When he heard that, he scolded, "Dongzi, why did you leave him alone downstairs when you're home?"
"It's fine. It's the same to rest in the car for a while."
"How can we do that? It's almost time for lunch. I'll go down and call him."
Li Dong hurriedly said, "There's really no need. I'll get Old Zhou to find a place to eat. If you go and call him, he won't be used to it."
It was precisely because he knew Zhou Haidong's character that Li Dong didn't bring him up.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang didn't say anything else.
These few days, Li Chengyuan was in a bad mood. Cao Fang didn't buy any groceries and had been eating noodles. She was embarrassed to ask him to eat.
After that, Cao Fang began to busy herself with lunch, while Li Dong accompanied his father in the living room.
After lunch, the three of them carried a large number of nutritional products and rushed to Qingyang.
