Chapter 446: The Wild Horse
When I rushed home, lunch was already served at home, and I didn’t wait for him to come back to eat together.
This is the eating rule in their family. As long as you can't make it back in time and it's not a special time during the holidays, there is no reason to let most people in the family wait for you alone.
Not only Chen Feng’s son is treated like this, but also Chen Dayong’s father, if he usually comes late, the family does not have the habit of waiting for him to come back before serving dinner.
Fortunately, everyone had just eaten, so Chen Feng would not have to eat the leftovers, and they could still eat them hot.
"You are so busy that you won't be home as soon as you come back. Go get food quickly. Don't tell me you've already eaten."
After my mother Zhao Xiaolan said something about Chen Feng, she didn't nag anything else. talk.
"Of course I haven't eaten it. Even if I have, mom, the food you cooked is so delicious, I can still eat three more bowls of rice."
Chen Feng flattered me with a playful smile. Finally, after getting a look from my mother, I immediately went over to get a bowl and chopsticks to eat.
There was still an empty seat next to Wu Mengting, so Chen Feng naturally sat down next to her.
His brother and his sister-in-law sat across from each other, and the two children sat next to them, both eating with serious expressions on their faces.
His two little nieces are relatively well-behaved when eating, don't make trouble, and eat by themselves.
Chen Feng had just taken a bite of rice when his mother asked: "Xiaoting is going back to Xiuzhou in the afternoon, won't you go with her?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Well, I want to stay at home for two more days to spend time with my parents."
Zhao Xiaolan was somewhat relieved after hearing what her son said, but she still said: "How can you accompany me? Why don't you go with me to Yuelou to inspect the supermarket in the afternoon, and then accompany me to Fushan tomorrow? Burning incense in the temple to fulfill one’s vows”
Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay. It's all up to you."
Originally, he had planned to stay with his parents at home for two days before leaving, which was not an excuse. After all, throughout the year, the total time he spends with his parents is only one month at most, which is certainly not an excessive amount of filial piety.
Fortunately, he still has a brother who can help him accompany his parents and fulfill his filial piety.
But since everyone is back this time, and he has nothing serious to do, he should spend a few more days with his parents in his hometown.
Seeing that her youngest son agreed, Zhao Xiaolan finally showed a smile on her face and said with a smile: "This is so true."
Chen Rui said at this time: "Mom, you can go and fulfill your wish, but you don't need to give too much money. Just make it what you want. Those monks are all extremely rich, so there is really no need to give too much."
Zhao Xiaolan immediately lowered her face and said: "What do you know? I use this money to plate Buddha's plate." Golden body, when I went to make a wish at the end of last year, I told the Buddha that my two sons’ business would be prosperous. As a result, your brothers’ business is indeed prosperous now, so I must go and fulfill my wish.”
< br>Chen Rui frowned and asked, "You already gave me five thousand yuan last time. How much do you plan to give this time?”
Zhao Xiaolan glared at him and said, “You don’t have to worry about it.”
Chen Rui was choked by these words. I was speechless, so I could only look at Chen Feng and say: "A Feng, you are a college student, tell your mother. Even if our family makes some money now, we can't waste it like this. Donating to those temples is equivalent to donating to those monks. They are all richer than us. Why don't we give the money away? Use it to do good deeds and help poor students in mountainous areas.”
Chen Feng also believed what he said, but he also knew that his mother was a bit stubborn, so he smiled and said: "Mom, what I said makes sense. Your money is nominally donated to the temple to gild the Buddha's body." Or something, but it goes into the pockets of those monks. You know what kind of virtue those monks have in this world, and you really don’t want to give them money for free. It’s worth it. Of course, since you have made a wish in front of the Buddha, let’s talk about it separately. When you made the wish, did you say how much incense you would give when you returned the wish?”
What did Chen Feng say? I can still hear it. She is a little superstitious, but she is really not stupid. She is still different from those really old ladies who are confused and superstitious. I also know very well what kind of practice those monks practice now.
Zhao Xiaolan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not much, I promised... twenty thousand yuan."
Chen Rui was not happy when he heard this and said loudly : "Mom, you are too generous. You gave me five thousand last year, and now you have to give me another twenty thousand. If Those who believe in Buddhism are as generous as you, and every one of the monks in the temple will become a millionaire. Several of them donate hundreds of thousands of incense money to Fushan Temple every year." Zhao Xiaolan was a little unhappy.
Chen Rui said angrily: "Then they are really rich. They are just not smart."
Zhao Xiaolan retorted: "What do you know? It is true that they are rich, but donating so much incense money every year can make people Buddha bless their family with peace and prosperity, and their business with them. It's very effective, otherwise do you think so many people are stupid for donating money?"
Chen Rui wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Chen Feng: "Okay, now that mom has made a wish. , then 20,000 yuan is not a lot of money. You still have to keep your word.”
After saying this, Chen Feng turned to his mother and said, “Mom, after you repay your wish this time, it’s enough for our family now. Okay, we can’t bring all the good things to our house, just Don't bother Buddha anymore."
Zhao Xiaolan also felt guilty and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, don't I want Buddha to bless you two brothers to make more money in the future? ”
Zhao Xiaolan said so. Although Chen Rui was still angry, he couldn't say anything else.
After that, no one said anything more. Chen Rui and his wife finished eating and left with their two children first, and then Chen Dayong also left.
As soon as they left, Chen Feng reminded his mother: "Mom, it's not a problem for dad to play mahjong like this every day. Maybe sitting like this every day will cause lumbar disc herniation or other diseases." I think it's better to find something for dad to do. There should be some odd jobs at the supermarket, which he can just help with, and he can't let him do it with his uncle. The sky is resting.”
"Well, you are right. He is now addicted to playing mahjong. He leaves early and comes home late every day, and he comes back several times in the early morning. If this continues, his body will definitely be unable to bear it. I will follow him when he comes back in the evening He said, let him go to the supermarket to help."
Chen Feng felt relieved when he heard his mother say this. His father, Chen Dayong, has been under the control of his mother for most of his life. He is controlled by his mother. His father can't afford to be promiscuous.
Chen Feng finally finished his meal, and Zhao Xiaolan and Wu Mengting cleaned up the dishes together. Wu Mengting originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Zhao Xiaolan refused and asked her to go to the back room with Chen Feng to have a good conversation. After all, she was going back to Xiuzhou in the afternoon.
The two of them didn’t object or feel shy. After all, they had been living together for so long.
So, the two of them returned to the back room, closed the door, and sat down next to each other on the bed. Wu Mengting broke the silence first and said: "Auntie looks very anxious. She wants to see my parents to discuss our affairs. What do you say?"
Wu Mengting attacked so suddenly, which made Chen Feng was stunned.
This question was really difficult to answer. Chen Feng was silent for a while before asking: "What specifically did you say about discussing our affairs? Is it a marriage?"
Wu Mengting nodded calmly: "Yes. What else do you think?”
Chen Feng sighed after hearing this and said: "Others don't know, but you should know my condition. Although my condition has improved now, I won't be able to really relax until the disease is cured. What if? Something will happen in the future...I really didn't want to harm you when I made the agreement with you for half a year. Period, I will be very selfish when the time comes to let you be my girlfriend, and I don’t want you to be a widow in the future..."
"Okay." Wu Mengting interrupted him and said firmly, "I don't care, I don't care about you Even if you are really ill, I will accept it. Even if I am destined to be a widow in the future, I hope we will get engaged within this year and get married within the next year at the latest.” >
When Chen Feng heard what she said, his heart skipped a beat.
Two or three months of leisurely and unrestrained "single life" has completely changed his original mind. Coupled with the failure of his first marriage, he really doesn't want to be bound by marriage anymore.
Now that we have money, leisure, and no shortage of women, isn’t it delicious to have a carefree “single life”?
Why should we enter the prison of marriage again?
But who made him temporarily soft-hearted and selfish, make an appointment with Wu Mengting for half a year, and say something like marrying her?
Chen Feng now wants to slap himself in the mouth.
Seeing that Chen Feng was still silent, Wu Mengting frowned and said, "What? Don't you plan to get engaged to me within this year?"
Facing Wu Mengting's bright and moving eyes, Chen Feng sighed again and said: "Mengting Ting, I think our marriage should be delayed for a while, because... I feel like I have a phobia about marriage now. You just mentioned the engagement and marriage. I feel very panicked. Maybe the previous marriage has brought a lot of psychological shadow to me.
Besides, although we understand each other now, if we are engaged, our relationship will be different. It will be different. By then, we may not be able to get along as well as we do now. Also, you know that I am very carefree now, and there are other women out there. It’s hard to guarantee that after getting engaged to you, I will completely cut off all relations with other women.”
After Wu Mengting heard what Chen Feng said, she didn’t look very angry, she just sighed lightly and said. : "I knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as I thought before. You are like a wild horse running wild on the grassland, having fun as much as you want. Can't stop.
But I know that one day you will feel tired and will stop and find a quiet place to stay. But I don't know when that day will be with you. The agreement was made for half a year, and I agreed. Now there are still more than two months before the expiration date. Tell me, are these two months enough? ”
Chen Feng was at a loss for words again. Of course he knew in his heart that these two months were definitely not enough, because he was indeed like what she just said, like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. He had regained his freedom and had fun everywhere. He didn't want to be trapped again. Emotional and marital shackles.
How can it be possible in more than two months? Two years may not be enough.
To put it simply, he is now wild and has not played enough. How can he enter the marriage prison obediently?
Seeing that Chen Feng was speechless again, Wu Mengting finally became a little angry. She bit her teeth secretly and asked word by word: "You don't want to break the contract, do you?"
"No." Chen Feng subconsciously denied Admit it, of course he likes Wu Mengting very much in his heart. After all, she is a first-class beauty, and she is highly educated. His mother also likes her very much. Although she is a bit short-tempered in terms of personality, this is human nature. Generally speaking, Still good.
Among all the female friends he knows, Wu Mengting is undoubtedly the best in terms of overall quality and conditions. If Chen Feng really wanted to fall in love or even talk about marriage with a woman, Wu Mengting would undoubtedly be the best choice.
So, if Chen Feng wanted to give up such a good woman like Wu Mengting, he would not be willing to let her go.
"Since you have no intention of breaking the appointment, we will officially become boyfriend and girlfriend in more than two months. Your relationship with other women will begin to break off. This is what we agreed at the beginning, you You can’t do it, right?”
Under Wu Mengting’s bright eyes, Chen Feng said calmly He shook his head and said: "A few months ago, I would have agreed to you without hesitation, but now I really can't guarantee that I will completely cut off all ties with other women. I can only say that I will try my best. I don't want to lie to you."
Wu Mengting stared at Chen Feng sharply, but Chen Feng did not dodge and looked directly at her with a frank expression.
After a while, Wu Mengting finally said: "I can give you a buffer. You can no longer be as promiscuous as you are now. By then, you will have to cut off all relationships with other women except Xiaorui. If you can't even do this If I can't do it at all, then I...then I will never If I leave you far away, you will never see me again.”
Chen Feng really wanted to make up his mind to abandon this beauty. After all, he couldn’t abandon the entire forest because of a tree, but she was the only one. The tree was so beautiful that he couldn't make up his mind in the end.
Chen Feng didn't want to agree to her request, but he didn't want her to leave him, so he could only use the dragging technique.
"Isn't it too early to say this now? After all, there are still more than two months. Please let me take it slow."
Wu Mengting snorted coldly and said: "Your mother It’s true that you are thick-skinned. My step-by-step concessions and tolerance to you have made you even more unscrupulous.”
Chen Feng immediately said with a playful smile: "I know that there are only two women in the world who care about me the most, and besides my mother, it is you. I can swear to God, if I want to get married in the future, you are my only choice."
Of course Chen Feng’s words are not lies. At least at this moment, he really means them 100% sincerely.
Of course Wu Mengting was very happy after hearing this. She could no longer hold back her straight face, so she couldn't help but reach out and hit him lightly on the arm, and said coquettishly: "You are so shameless."< br>< br>Chen Feng grabbed her tender little hand and said with a smile: "I am so shameless only to the people I care about."
Wu Mengting's little hand twitched but did not pull away, and her face couldn't help but turn red. The heartbeat also accelerated slightly.
After all, they were the only two in the room now, and they were both sitting on the edge of the bed.
Just when she was nervous and looking forward to it, Chen Feng let her go, stood up and said, "I'm going to tell my mother something."
Looking at Chen Feng There was obviously some evasion, Wu Mengting felt a little angry but also a little relieved. At least he didn't touch her, which was different from other women.
