After returning home, her sister-in-law Li Guihong saw that Chen Feng had bought toys for her two daughters, and she inevitably scolded them.
For Chen Feng’s sake, she did not confiscate the toys from her two daughters in the end.
After watching his two nieces happily playing with toys, Chen Feng was dragged into talking by his slightly drunk uncle. The main purpose was to listen to him brag about how popular he was when he was young and how popular he was with the opposite sex. He also said that their former aunt was the one who chased him.
The eldest brother Chen Rui was not drunk, he just sat quietly aside. Apparently he had just listened to his uncle bragging for a while.
Just listen to what Chen Feng can do.
Fortunately, when her new aunt Mao Xiaoling heard her uncle talking about her ex-wife, her face became a little ugly. She immediately came over and took her uncle to say goodbye and went home.
My uncle's family left, and their house suddenly became quiet. The noise that seemed noisy before was mainly due to my uncle bragging loudly.
"Your brother-in-law feels bitter, but it is his own fault."
My mother, Zhao Xiaolan, sighed as she cleared the dining table.
Chen Rui said with some confusion: "What is he suffering from? There is such a beautiful wife, several years younger than him, an old cow gnawing on young grass, I don't know how many old men are envious and jealous ”
Zhao Xiaolan glared at her son angrily and said, "Didn't your uncle say that at the wine table just now? Those people outside were laughing at him for helping other people raise their children, and pulling strings. Can he feel better?"
Chen Rui said disapprovingly: "You live your own life, why do you care about other people's mouths and farting everywhere? Those people who talk nonsense behind my back must be jealous that my uncle is living a good life now. , My wife is beautiful. There is nothing wrong with having two ready-made children. As long as you really raise these two children as your own, they will not be unfilial in the future."
"You. To put it lightly, can you bear it if others say that and laugh at you? Your brother-in-law is a very face-saving person, so of course he feels even more uncomfortable. Therefore, he wants to have a child with Mao Xiaoling. But Mao Xiaoling will definitely not agree easily. Fortunately, your uncle has finally come to his senses and does not plan to have a baby. Otherwise, he will be in trouble in the future, and he will suffer even more."
Li Guihong then said: "Mom, my aunt told me quietly just now. She said that she was actually willing to have a child with her uncle, but the prerequisite was that she and her two children would be safe. She was worried that her uncle would have his own child. After giving birth, it was not good for her two children now. Therefore, she hoped that her uncle would buy education insurance for her two children so that they would have sufficient financial security from now on. Her uncle originally agreed. I didn’t expect that I suddenly regretted it at the wine table.”
“What education insurance?” Zhao Xiaolan asked with some confusion, “How much does it cost?”
Li Guihong shook his head and said: "I didn't ask how much it was, and she didn't tell me either."
Chen Feng answered: "300,000 each, two are 600,000."
"So Expensive?”
Everyone was a little surprised.
Zhao Xiaolan frowned and looked at Chen Feng and asked: "Did your uncle ask you to borrow money before? You didn't borrow it?"
Zhao Xiaolan knew her brother too well, so she guessed right.
Chen Feng said truthfully: "He had this intention, but he didn't say it directly. He said he wanted to ask my opinion on whether to buy this insurance for these two children. I said this was tantamount to being stupid. Trading, 600,000 for a child, and asked why his aunt fell in love with him and married him. Is it because of him? White hair and wrinkles? He was speechless when I asked him. Maybe he was a little discouraged and changed his mind."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help complaining: "You are serious, why do you want to. To hit your uncle like this?"
Chen Feng said calmly: "I'm afraid if my uncle really gives in to the two children, With this education insurance, my aunt may choose to divorce her uncle. In addition, even if she agrees to have a child with her uncle, she may cheat and still not have the baby. ”
Chen Rui immediately echoed: "A Feng is right. If we really buy her two children Needless to say, with this insurance, the two children will have enough money to study and live. Speaking of which, she is not very old now, not even 40 years old, right? , When I opened a barber shop in the past, many old men were worried about it. It was really easy to find a new home.”
Li Guihong still had a good impression of Mao Xiaoling. After hearing this, she glared at Chen Rui unhappily and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, aunt is not that kind of person. How can she be as bad as you say?"
< br>Chen Rui curled his lips and said: "Why did I just talk nonsense? Before I got married, I also went out of my way to find out what she was doing. Human. She opened a barber shop and her husband died. Most of her customers were old men, and there were rumors of her having affairs with several of them at the beginning. Feng, have others wronged her?”
Zhao Xiaolan placed a plate heavily on the table. He made a banging sound, glared at Chen Rui angrily and said angrily: "Shut your mouth! No matter what she is now, she is still your aunt and your uncle's wife? It's okay for others to talk nonsense, and your nephew is also talking nonsense. , do you still have your uncle in your eyes?"
Chen Rui also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and saw that my mother was angry again. I could only apologize quickly with an embarrassed look on my face: "Mom, I was wrong. I was just talking smoothly. After all, I am just talking to you at home, and I will not talk nonsense outside."
"I It seems that both of you brothers don’t take your uncle seriously, and you don’t take me seriously.”
These words were a bit serious. When the brothers Chen Feng and Chen Rui heard these words and saw their mother's angry and sad expression, they suddenly got excited and stood up from their chairs.
Chen Rui immediately apologized again: "Mom, I was really wrong. I really didn't disrespect my uncle, let alone you."
Chen Feng also immediately expressed his position: "Mom, you If I feel it is necessary to lend money to my uncle, I will lend it to him immediately. Six hundred thousand is not much to me. However, I feel that I must first get pregnant with my uncle’s child and then buy insurance for her two children. "
Zhao Xiaolan was quite satisfied with the attitude of her two sons in admitting their mistakes, but she still snorted with a cold face and said: "Your uncle was not very promising before, but now he has turned around. And. No matter what, he is still your elder, my brother, and I will not allow you to disrespect him."
"Yes, yes."
Both brothers nodded in agreement.
“Get out of here, you are an eyesore.”
Zhao Xiaolan waved her hand.
The brothers left one after another as if they had received amnesty.
Of course Chen Feng went back to his room at the back, while Chen Rui went out and went back to his current home, leaving his wife and children alone.
It is true that the two brothers have been afraid of being scolded by their mother since they were young. Especially when they see their mother angry and sad, their calves will become weak, because in this state, her mother will be very cruel when she starts to use her hands. Dad would probably give them a good beating, too.
This was all a conditioned reflex, and of course they were so frightened that they all wanted to run away immediately.
Chen Feng felt that he had been implicated by his elder brother and sister-in-law this time. His elder brother had said the wrong thing, and his sister-in-law had been taken advantage of by Mao Xiaoling's new aunt and said something about education insurance without knowing it. .
Otherwise, of course his mother will not know about this, and he will not be punished.
Back in his room, he picked up his phone and looked at it. There were messages from Yu Xiaohui and Wu Mengting.
During the meal before, Wu Mengting sent him a message, saying that she might not be able to go to his place today. She had relatives coming to her house again, and she couldn't leave for a while. Now she sent another message saying that she would drive to his house in Qingpu Town in the evening.
Chen Feng immediately responded to the message and told her not to come tonight. It was not safe to drive at night.
Wu Mengting sent a voice message saying that she was already on the highway.
Yes, come on.
Yu Xiaohui sent a message before, asking where he was, and Chen Feng told the truth that he was back to his hometown in Qingpu Town.
Yu Xiaohui was obviously disappointed at the time and said that she might not be able to accompany him tonight.
As a result, she now sent another message saying that she would drive to Lin Nan to find him later.
Obviously, Yu Xiaohui couldn't just come to his parents' house so late at night, so the most convenient way was to stay in a hotel and let Chen Feng meet her there.
Thinking that Wu Mengting was not feeling well these days, Chen Feng did not refuse Yu Xiaohui to drive to Lin Nan at night, but just asked her to drive carefully at night and pay attention to safety.
This seems to be a bit of a double standard, but special matters are treated specially. He and Yu Xiaohui have not had a good communication for a long time, which is different from Wu Mengting.
In addition to the two of them sending him messages, there was another friend who added a verification message. It was Zhang Qizhi who was mentioned by the bald neighbor Bao Kangshun he met before. He was a classmate in elementary school. The other party noted it in the message. .
Needless to say, it was Bao Kangshun who gave Zhang Qizhi his WeChat ID.
Chen Feng basically has no impression of Zhang Qizhi, his elementary school classmate. After all, they have never met again after graduating from elementary school. What impression can he have?
Chen Feng originally did not want to pass the other party's friend verification, but he thought of Bao Kangshun, a neighbor, and his brother's classmates. It would be too rude to fail.
What's more, Bao Kangshun also said before that Zhang Qizhi is now the deputy mayor of Qingpu Town.
Chen Feng may ignore him, but his parents and brother are still living in his hometown. The other party has already identified themselves in the message, so it would be too offending to deny approval.
So, Chen Feng finally passed, even though almost ten minutes had passed.
Chen Feng did not take the initiative to send a message to Zhang Qizhi. After waiting for a while, Zhang Qizhi did not take the initiative to send a message to him.
This saves trouble.
However, Chen Feng was not happy for long when his brother Chen Rui called: "A Feng, come with me to go out for barbecue. Bao Kangshun knows, right? The bald guy who lives next door is my classmate in elementary school and junior high school. He invited us The two brothers went to have a barbecue. There was also your classmate, the deputy mayor of our town, who is related to him."
Chen Fengchen. After being silent for a while, he said helplessly: "Can I not go?"
"The other party has kindly invited you, is it appropriate for you not to go? On the street next door, Ah Fei's BBQ stall, and It’s not far, it doesn’t take more than five minutes to walk. Hurry up, don’t keep people waiting.”
After that, Chen Rui hung up the phone.
You don’t have to give other people’s face, but you have to give it to your own brother. What’s more, if he doesn’t go, his brother will be unable to step down, making it difficult for his brother.
There was no other way, so Chen Feng simply tidied up and came out of the room. When passing by the kitchen, he said something to his mother who was still washing dishes.
My mother didn't pay much attention to him. Chen Feng could only smile and continue walking towards the front door.
Seven minutes later, he walked all the way to Ah Fei's barbecue stall, which was indeed not far away. He stopped driving because he might have to drink.
When he arrived, his brother Chen Rui had already arrived first, and of course there was Bao Kangshun, another man and two women.
This man is slender, at most 1.7 meters tall, wearing glasses, a blue long-sleeved POLO shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes. From the look of his attire, he looks like a civil servant.
"A Feng, you're finally here. It's really a treat for us."
Bao Kangshun stood up first, greeted Chen Feng warmly, then came over and pulled him over and introduced: "This is you My old classmate, Zhang Qizhi, do you still remember Is it him?"
Zhang Qizhi also stood up at this time, looked at Chen Feng with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Chen Feng, do you still remember me, an old classmate?"
Seeing this, Chen Feng reached out and shook his hand. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I still remember the name, but I don't know the person at all. After all, we haven't seen each other since we graduated from elementary school. Did you transfer to another school when you were in junior high school?"
Zhang Qizhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I transferred to the county when I was in junior high school. Our family also moved to the county. So, we haven’t seen each other for almost 17 or 18 years. Thanks to Brother Shun, we met you by chance. It’s a pleasure to meet again.”
Chen Rui also smiled and said at this time: "That's really rare. Later, you two old classmates will have a few drinks and get acquainted again."
Zhang Qizhi nodded and said: "Of course. When I was in elementary school, Chen Feng helped me a lot, and I still remember it.”
When Chen Feng heard this and thought about it, he didn’t think of anything he had helped him in elementary school.
Bao Kangshun asked with a smile: "Oh, what has Ah Feng helped you with before?"
Zhang Qizhi said with emotion: "You should all be able to see that I have been frail and sick since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, I was taller than the boys in my class. I was the shortest in the class, and my academic performance was not good at that time, so my classmates often bullied me. However, Chen Feng had good academic performance, was strong, and was the monitor of the class, so he often stopped others in the class. My classmates bullied me.”
"Oh my god, there's this thing. Those people who bully the weak are really born bad." Bao Kangshun swore directly.
After hearing what he said, Chen Feng finally recalled something like this. He was the class monitor at the time and had a strong sense of responsibility. Maintaining class discipline was the main thing. Helping Zhang Qizhi from being bullied by his classmates was incidental, so it was normal that he didn't think about it.
Chen Feng recalled: "That was in the second and third grade. After reaching the fourth grade, those people in the class seemed to stop bullying you."
Zhang Qizhi smiled and said: "Yes. Yes, after reaching the fourth grade, I was not brave enough When I was older, if someone bullied me, I would tell my aunt directly. She happened to be transferred to our school as the vice principal and was responsible for the discipline work of the school's students."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all. He couldn't help but laugh. (End of chapter)
