Chapter 28 Old Classmate
In the end, Chen Feng did not take Wu Mengting home for dinner. It was still the same restaurant as last time, and he ordered a few dishes that he had not eaten yesterday.
Both of them were silent for a long time this time. Chen Feng didn't talk much except occasionally introducing the local dishes that were served.
Wu Mengting only nodded occasionally, smiled slightly, and said few words throughout the process.
This meal was very dull.
After eating, Chen Feng paid the bill and sent her to her room.
"You should have a good rest. I will not come to see you off tomorrow morning. See you next time I go back to Xiuzhou. Drive carefully tomorrow and have a safe journey."
At the door of the room, Chen Feng didn't go in either. After saying this to her, he waved his hand to her and turned around to leave.
Wu Mengting pursed her lips slightly and watched Chen Feng disappear around the corner of the stairs before turning around and entering the door with a complicated expression.
As expected, Chen Feng did not go to see him off the next morning. Around noon, he received a WeChat message from Wu Mengting.
[I'm back to Xiuzhou. Thank you for your hospitality these days. 】
Following this text is a red envelope.
Chen Feng only hesitated for a moment before clicking on the red envelope, and there was actually 1,000 yuan.
Originally, it was agreed that being a guide would cost 300 for one day and 600 for two days, which was obviously too much.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng sent her back a 400-yuan red envelope.
The reason why he took 600 yuan was to avoid Wu Mengting misunderstanding, and he sent back 400 yuan because he didn't want to take advantage.
Wu Mengting on the other side has been waiting quietly after sending the red envelope.
With a notification tone, she quickly opened WeChat and saw a red envelope.
Wu Mengting couldn't help but smile. She quickly clicked on the red envelope, only to find that it was only 400. Her smile suddenly froze.
She didn't feel sorry for the other 600 yuan, but she hoped in her heart that Chen Feng could return all the red envelopes she gave out, because only in this way could she be sure that Chen Feng was treating her differently.
And now that he sends back 400, it means that he has no other ideas about himself.
However, what is gratifying is that Chen Feng still treats her as a friend.
But this was obviously not what she wanted. Her trial ended in failure, and Wu Mengting couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Following this, Chen Feng also sent a text.
[It was agreed that it would be 300 per day and 600 per two days. There is no need to give more. If it was because of those few meals, it would be even more unnecessary. We should be considered friends. If you come to my hometown, of course I, as the landlord, will treat you to dinner. 】
Wu Mengting pondered for a long time and entered a long text, but she hesitated when she wanted to press the send button. Finally, she pressed the delete button, deleted the long text, and only sent "Thank you" Two words.
There was no response from Chen Feng.
Wu Mengting waited for a long time with her cell phone, and finally sighed, put away her cell phone, started the car and drove towards the highway leading to Xiuzhou.
Chen Feng actually waited for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, then punched the pillow several times with his fist and got out of bed to get dressed.
He tossed and turned all night yesterday and slept until noon.
After washing up, I just went downstairs to eat.
The family sat together eating and chatting. Chen Rui, prompted by his mother’s eyes, asked: "Xiao Feng, why didn’t you go out on a date with that girl today?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at his brother and said angrily: "I told you it's not a date, but a guide for her. She went back today."
"Oh."
The others made eye contact with each other After talking for a while, I asked no more questions.
However, everyone in their hearts thought that Chen Feng and the girl had broken up. Zhao Xiaolan even showed a trace of sadness on her face. After eating, Chen Feng went upstairs and took his parents' ID cards and went out without telling them. For more than ten years, the ID cards of the two elders had been kept in the same place, and Chen Feng found them after a little searching.
Sent a WeChat message, and within a few minutes of waiting at the street corner, a car parked next to him.
"Old classmate, long time no see." The car window rolled down, revealing a fat, round face of a woman with a friendly smile.
This is his high school classmate Wang Fang, who sells insurance.
We didn't have a close relationship at school before, but it wasn't bad either, because Wang Fang had a cheerful and outgoing personality, and she also loved playing basketball. She got along well with the boys in the class, including Chen Feng, the boring gourd in the class back then, because Chen Feng also likes to play basketball. The two of them occasionally play together, and since they are both from Qingpu Town, they gradually become familiar with each other.
"Hello, Xiaofang." Chen Feng smiled, opened the car door naturally and got in the passenger seat.
"We haven't seen each other for three or four years. Well, it should be three years. We met at the class reunion during the National Day three years ago."
Wang Fang said as he started the car.
"Yes, it's been three years." Chen Feng said with some emotion.
Three years ago, he returned to his hometown during the National Day and went to the county town to attend a class reunion. At that time, he had made a good girlfriend, Shen Lin, and his career was booming. It was the time when he was proud of his life.
“Didn’t you bring your wife when you came back this time?” Wang Fang asked casually.
"No. How are you now?" Of course Chen Feng didn't want to talk about his divorce.
"That's not it. I will starve to death if I don't have enough to eat. My husband is also a failure. He lost hundreds of thousands in business last year. Alas, if it weren't for my two children, we would have divorced him long ago."
Wang Fang simply complained.
Chen Feng asked curiously: "When did you give birth to another child?"
Wang Fang sighed: "The one I gave birth to last year just turned one year old. It's also because I have soft ears. One is enough, but I can't bear two. The elders and my husband kept trying to persuade me to have a second child. I originally wanted a daughter, but now it’s a son. Tell me, isn’t it going to take my life to buy him a son? It’s very difficult to get married, let alone two sons.”
Chen Feng could only console him: “It’s still early in the future. After twenty years, maybe it won’t be like this, and maybe the house will be the same. It will become very cheap."
Wang Fang shook his head and said: "The possibility is almost zero."
Chen Feng smiled, he also felt that this possibility was unlikely.
"By the way, Fengzi, have you gotten rich? You just said that you want to buy a large amount of insurance, and there are several of it."
The two of them just chatted on the phone for a while, and then agreed on a time and place to meet. .
"So be it. But it's not much. I still can't afford a house in Xiuzhou."
"Okay, don't be humble. I heard that, Your monthly salary in Xiuzhou was tens of thousands a few years ago. It should be tens of thousands now, right? It’s easy to earn hundreds of thousands a year.”
Chen Feng basically closed himself off two years ago. It's normal for them to lose contact with these old classmates and not know what's going on. Therefore, Wang Fang looked envious at this time.
Chen Feng smiled noncommittally and changed the topic to talk about high school and some classmates. The two of them enjoyed themselves more and more.
Unknowingly, he arrived at Wang Fang’s company in the county town. After a series of consultations, Chen Feng quickly bought critical illness insurance and pension insurance for his parents. They were all purchased in one go. Almost 500,000.
Although rural areas now have similar social security, they are far behind those in cities. Medical insurance is a little better, but a serious illness will still cost you everything. As for pensions, as a farmer after you turn 60, it will only cost you a few hundred yuan a year or dozens of yuan a month.
So, if you have money, it is better to buy commercial insurance directly. Think of it as financial management.
Before coming here, Chen Feng also searched online for a long time and consulted many people. In the end, of course, he turned to old classmate Wang Fang. Not to mention how reliable she was, but deliberately digging a hole for him would not be a problem.
Chen Feng certainly didn't feel bad for his parents, who had a total of four insurance policies and a one-time expenditure of hundreds of thousands.
With these two insurance policies, the two elders can each receive a monthly pension of 3,000 yuan after the age of 60, which is enough for their expenses. Now one of them is 57 and the other is 55, and it will take a few years before they can receive it.
Even if you get sick in the future, there is critical illness insurance that can reimburse most of the money.
Of course, they are all in good health now, and Chen Feng also hopes that they will never use this insurance.
Please support one or two. grateful!
