Chapter 553 Another small goal
After leaving Mengyao Company, Chen Feng immediately returned to his hometown in Qingpu Town.
We are all here, we must not pass through the door without entering.
After the car drove into the town, Chen Feng remembered that he had not bought gifts for his two precious nieces, so he went to a small supermarket on the street to buy a few girls' toys, and then drove home.
Just in time to catch up with his family having dinner, Chen Feng was holding several toys in his left and right hands. His two nieces immediately screamed in surprise, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and ran towards him.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
The two cheers made Chen Feng's face immediately burst into smiles. It's better to have a daughter. Chen Feng is kind of looking forward to Liu Ying or Hong Xiaodan giving him a daughter.
As soon as he knelt down, his two nieces, one on the left and one on the right, pulled away all the toys he was holding, and the anticipated kissing session was omitted.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoxue, uncle bought you a gift, why don't you give me a kiss?"
Chen Feng looked at them pretending to be unhappy.
The two little nieces came over and kissed him on the right and left. Although it was a bit perfunctory, Chen Feng was satisfied. He stood up with a smile and called out to his parents. "Dad, Mom", my brother and sister-in-law automatically ignored and stopped shouting.
"Why did you come back suddenly? You didn't even call in advance." Zhao Xiaolan looked at her son strangely, "What's the matter with you coming back this time?"
Chen Feng replied casually: "It's nothing, I just feel homesick. I'll stay here for two days."
No one believed what he said, but they didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Dayong spoke directly and asked him to get food by himself.
At home, of course Chen Feng would not be polite, so he went to get some food and sat down to eat.
After taking a few bites, Zhao Xiaolan asked about the current situation between him and Wu Mengting. Chen Feng could only say that it was fine.
As a result, Zhao Xiaolan started a routine to urge the marriage again. She said that during the National Day, the two families would meet officially to finalize their marriage.
Although Chen Feng had expected it before he came, talking about this when he came back before his butt was still hot really made him feel a little worried. This was really his mother.
Chen Feng simply said that we would talk about it later.
Zhao Xiaolan was not that easy to fool. She immediately showed her mother-in-law attitude and said: "Okay, this matter is settled. You and Xiaoting will go back to Lushi during the National Day holiday, and then our whole family will Let's go to the city together to meet her whole family and formally decide on your marriage. You will get engaged by the end of the year and get married next year."
Chen Feng was a little worried again. He couldn't express his objection on the spot, so he had no choice but to do so. Respond with silence.
Seeing that her son was silent, Zhao Xiaolan took it as a matter of course that he acquiesced.
It’s not that she is a powerful feudal mother, but that she doesn’t care about Chen Feng’s younger son’s marriage.
She had never had any control over Chen Feng and Shen Lin's marriage before. Before the marriage, she and Shen Lin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were not familiar with each other, let alone understand each other. As a result, her younger son's marriage ended in divorce.
So, Zhao Xiaolan felt that she, the mother, must intervene in Chen Feng’s second marriage.
Wu Mengting is her most promising daughter-in-law candidate, and she is also her personal favorite. Others such as Sun Xiaorui, Guo Mengyao, Lin Yujiao, etc. are obviously not as good as Wu Mengting.
Sincere evaluation, this is indeed the case. If Chen Feng really plans to get married now, Wu Mengting will still be his number one wife candidate.
Chen Feng ate silently without saying a word, and the others did not speak either. Only his two nieces were happily dismantling the toys, laughing cheerfully from time to time.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent. Seeing this, Chen Rui opened his mouth to calm down the atmosphere and said, "A Feng, I plan to give your previous Citroen to my dad, and I will buy a new one myself. Which car do you think is better?"< br>
Zhao Xiaolan immediately reprimanded: "Buy What to buy? You just made some money and you got it. Your dad bought his driver's license with money, and then he found a friend to practice it on his own for a few days. When he used to drive for you, he couldn't even drive a small truck. OK, let him drive a car now. I'm afraid it will drive into the river. I don’t dare to ride in a car.”
Chen Dayong also wanted to be embarrassed. Hearing this, he was a little unhappy and said: “I can drive a small truck, why can’t I drive a car? Driving is actually very easy. "How difficult do you think it is?"
Zhao Xiaolan He choked and said: "I ask you to take the driver's license test now. Can you pass it? You can't even read a few Chinese characters. Do you understand traffic laws and regulations?"
This really confused Chen Dayong. , he hasn’t even finished elementary school, so if he is asked to take the driver’s license test, he will definitely not be able to pass it.
Chen Rui said with a smile: "Anyway, dad already has a driver's license, so it is definitely no problem to drive. Besides, you and dad often go to Yuelou Town to take care of the supermarket business. It is very inconvenient to ride a small electric car every day, especially when you get off the bus. It’s not safe on a rainy day. It’s better to drive a car.”
“I think you have it.” You are worried about money. Do you think the current car is not worthy of your big boss? If you have some money, you can change the car. If you have more money in the future, should you... Guihong, what do you say?" br>Zhao Xiaolan didn’t say all the words in the second half, but everyone could hear it: Now that she is richer, does she want to change her wife?
Of course Li Guihong could hear it, and said: "Mom, Ah Rui has wanted to change his car for a long time. After all, this car belongs to Ah Feng. Brothers have settled accounts, so they can't keep occupying his brother's car. If the car is driven by Dad, then it will be fine. Ah Feng is filial to Dad.”
Zhao Xiaolan was a little unhappy when her daughter-in-law said this and couldn’t help but frown.
Chen Feng immediately took over and said: "Mom, the quality of that Citroen is indeed a bit low. After all, I have bosses who earn hundreds of thousands every year. Driving a Citroen worth more than 200,000 yuan is indeed a bit low-end. Moreover, there are With two children, I should buy a more spacious car. I think I would choose an SUV like the Tiguan that costs over 300,000 yuan.”
Chen Rui asked happily: "What do you think of Highlander?"
"It's not bad, you can see for yourself. Find a chance to test drive it yourself and see how it feels. Choose again. I don’t know much about these cars.”
“Okay, I’ll go for a test drive another day.” Chen Rui said happily.
Chen Dayong also said happily: "Then you have to hurry up, I'm still waiting to drive your Citroen."
"It's really a matter of money." Zhao Xiaolan muttered, but didn't say anything more. Although she is sometimes very strong, she is not unreasonable.
After eating, Chen Feng originally wanted to chat with his parents about home affairs, but his mother never left Wu Mengting, so he had no choice but to retreat and hurried back to his room at the back.
Lying down on the bed, I picked up my phone and looked at it. There were several unread messages.
Chen Feng first read the message from Lin Yujiao. It was sent more than ten minutes ago, saying that her digital single has been officially launched on major music platforms and has been officially released. To this end, she also placed cover advertisements on major music platforms.
Chen Feng replied "Come on" to her.
Lin Yujiao smiled back instantly.
Chen Feng then went to see Wu Mengting. She said that she had asked several artists signed by the company to help repost Lin Yujiao's single, and she believed it would have good results.
Sun Xiaorui also sent him a message and told him this.
After Chen Feng read it, he didn’t reply.
The last unread message was from Guo Mengyao. I deliberately didn’t click on it, but I finally clicked on it and read it.
[You are just an irresponsible scumbag]
Chen Feng frowned and was speechless for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he finally did not block her.
After all, the two of them had an easy time together, and they were still high school classmates. Even if they break up, Chen Feng doesn't want to hurt her again. Treating her coldly now is the best solution.
After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Chen Feng cannot give her the future she wants. Instead of delaying her youth and lifelong happiness, it is better to cut off the relationship as soon as possible.
Put down your phone and take a shower first. Then, I turned on the TV and watched. The Good Voice program will be aired tonight, which will be the last episode in which Lin Yujiao will appear.
Blue Star TV, at eight o'clock, after three minutes of commercials, the program "Good Voice" officially starts.
Lin Yujiao’s group originally had a total of 14 contestants. During the second instructor assessment, half of them were eliminated. Lin Yujiao was lucky not to be eliminated in that period, but this period will be the second round of the group. Elimination, from the remaining 7 players, the instructor selects a seeded player to advance directly, and the remaining 6 players draw lots to fight against each other, and the loser is eliminated.
This time Lin Yujiao was rather unlucky. She was directly eliminated by Zhao Qiang, the PK player. Of course, she was actually eliminated by the instructor or the program team.
There are three groups of six people, and Lin Yujiao is in the second group. Zhao Qiang came on stage first and chose a well-known rock song. He sang it really ignitingly, but Chen Feng obviously felt that his voice was a bit broken in the treble part. But, how can I put it, it is a good thing. Many rock songs have broken voices, which is normal and makes it even more obvious. Full of emotion.
It's just that the stage he's on is not a concert, but a competition, so the broken sound can't really be said to be an advantage.
The song Lin Yujiao chose is a more difficult sad love song. Although the high-pitched part is not as difficult as Zhao Qiang’s rock song, it is at least sung very mellowly and has no broken notes at all. On the contrary, it is full of emotion and looks very good. Beautiful.
To be honest, just based on their performance of their respective songs, Lin Yujiao is slightly better.
What's more, Zhao Qiang is not handsome at all. He just tells stories, saying that he is from a migrant worker family. He has loved music since he was a child. He saved money and bought a guitar when he was a child. He has been practicing for several years. As an adult, He started working as a street singer, and his family never understood him but gave him support. In the last issue, he even said that his mother had cancer. He burst into tears and said that he would try his best to achieve good results and make his mother happy, which won him a lot of sympathy points.
Anyway, a grown man who is about 1.8 meters tall talks about his family's shortcomings, dreams and filial piety on such a singing competition stage. Chen Feng thinks that he is a scheming boy.
Compared with Zhao Qiang, a scheming man who has set himself up early in life to pursue his dreams bravely and be a filial son, Lin Yujiao only mentioned in the first vcr that she was divorced and single and opened a clothing store, and didn't say much else.
In the second episode, Lin Yujiao just sang in a simple competition, and then she didn’t say anything extra. Her sense of presence was really not very high.
So, it is normal for the instructor and the program team to retain Zhao Qiang and eliminate Lin Yujiao.
In the TV screen, Lin Yujiao was eliminated in the end, with a very calm expression on her face. She thanked the program team and instructors in a decent manner, and then wished her remaining teammates on the team good success in the next game. He left the stage triumphantly and had the last laugh.
He walked very cleanly and gracefully, unlike other eliminated players who hypocritically hugged their mentors and teammates after being announced as eliminated, not to mention that female players are naturally good at driving. Tears at this point.
Chen Feng admires Lin Yujiao's lack of pretense.
So, he picked up his mobile phone and sent Lin Yujiao a message: [Just finished watching the show, you are very good]
Lin Yujiao quickly sent him a shy expression, and then Ask him if he can come to her place tomorrow.
Chen Feng told the truth that he was going back to his hometown now and would stay at home for two days before returning to Xiuzhou.
Lin Yujiao said nothing more.
The next day, when he woke up in the morning, Chen Feng went out for a run first, running around the cement path in the field, which still had a different feeling.
When I got home and took a shower and had breakfast, my parents had already gone to work in Yuelou Town. Of course my brother and sister-in-law also went to work at the car wash shop, and even my two nieces went to school.
He was the only one left in the family, and Chen Feng suddenly felt that he might as well be in Xiuzhou.
However, he is used to being alone. There is internet and a mobile phone, so he doesn’t stay anywhere.
But there was no whereabouts for lunch. His parents were busy with work in the supermarket and ignored him. They just sent him a voice message on WeChat and asked him to solve it by himself at noon.
Speaking of which, Chen Feng was also able to cook a few dishes by himself. When he was married to Shen Lin, he did a lot of cooking, but the food he cooked was definitely not very delicious.
Besides, after being lazy for so long now, it would be really difficult for him to cook by himself.
It is not easy to order takeout in a rural place like Qingpu Town. You have to pay a lot of extra errands. Besides, you don’t know when it will be delivered. It is better to go to a restaurant on the street to eat.
Fortunately, his house is on the street in the center of the town. I walked over to a noodle shop and had a bowl of pork ribs noodles. There was really a large piece of fried pork ribs in the bowl, and it tasted very good. It only costs 16 yuan, which is a reasonable price.
After eating the noodles, Chen Fengzhuo pulled on his slippers and walked home. A text message alert sounded on his mobile phone. He picked it up and saw that it was a payment notification from Xiuzhou Bank. He clicked on it and saw that 90 million was credited. This is very comfortable.
The female owner of the beauty salon was quite cheerful. She said it would be within two days, and she remitted the money to him in less than a day. This is a truly rich man.
If it weren’t for her contact information, Chen Feng would have wanted to call her and ask her out for dinner.
Soon, Ning Wei, who was the exclusive customer service manager of his private bank, also called him and reconfirmed the arrival of 90 million in the account. She also asked if he needed financial management services. Chen Feng did not He refused without hesitation.
After returning home, his cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Guo Mengyao, Chen Feng hesitated and turned off the phone.
Then, not long after, Guo Mengyao sent him a video call invitation.
This time Chen Feng had no choice but to answer the call, and answered helplessly.
“Why didn’t you answer my call?”
“I didn’t hear it just now.”
“Sister Cai sent you money, 90 million, did you receive it? ?”
“Yes, I received it. When will that cosmetics group call me?”
"Didn't you say within five days? How long is that?"
"Oh, that's okay, I'll keep waiting."
"Are you in such urgent need of money?"
>"No, it's safe to keep it safe. It's best if they give me money as soon as possible."
"I think you are obsessed with money."
"Is there anything else?"
"Can't you just say a few more words if it's okay? Didn't you say we are still friends?"
"Oh, tell me then."
Although Chen Feng did not show obvious impatience, his words undoubtedly showed his attitude.
“With your attitude, what else should I tell you? Okay, hang up.”
Guo Mengyao hung up the video angrily, which made Chen Feng secretly relieved.
