Because it rained in the morning and the rain got heavier, Chen Feng could only stay at home a little bored, scrolling through his phone and watching TV.
Wu Mengting spent almost the whole morning at the canteen in front, chatting happily with Zhao Xiaolan, and even helped sell things to get some change.
The people who can come to the canteen to sell things are basically the surrounding neighbors. When they see Wu Mengting sitting next to Zhao Xiaolan, they naturally give some envious looks and flattery.
This made Zhao Xiaolan feel very comfortable, and it can be regarded as one of the highlights of her life.
The fact that her younger son has no partner for divorce has always been her concern, but now not only does her younger son have a girlfriend, but a beautiful woman like Wu Mengting also comes to her door.
This made her have some happiness worries. In her heart, she already recognized Wu Mengting, but her younger son had no intention of breaking up with that girlfriend, which made it a bit difficult to handle.
As a mother, she used to be very open-minded when it came to her son's emotional issues and basically wouldn't interfere. He had the final say.
As a result, my son is now divorced and has to start over.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaolan hesitated whether to intervene this time, because Wu Mengting really made her so satisfied. With such a young, sensible, beautiful, filial and good-tempered daughter-in-law, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
This is what Chen Feng is a little worried about, and it is obviously Wu Mengting’s purpose of trying to please Elaine Zhao.
In terms of marriage, many smart men take the route of mother-in-law or father-in-law, trying to please the girl's parents in various ways, and many of them end up marrying the beautiful woman.
In the same way, it is the same for a woman who pursues a man. It is easier to succeed by taking the man's family route. However, it is difficult for women to take the initiative to go to the man's house, which requires a lot of courage.
At noon, Zhao Xiaolan and Wu Mengting prepared a table full of dishes for everyone again, and everyone was full of praise again.
This time Wu Mengting was responsible for cooking five dishes, while Zhao Xiaolan only cooked four dishes.
As a result, the five dishes cooked by Wu Mengting were wiped out by everyone, but there were still four dishes cooked by Zhao Xiaolan.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but deliberately said with a straight face: "Didn't any of you eat breakfast? What will you eat at night if you have eaten all the vegetables?"
Chen Rui said with a smile: "You can also cook some noodles for dinner."
Zhao Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "You can just eat noodles tonight. I'll take Meng Ting out to eat tonight."
Wu Mengting said quickly: "No need, auntie, I'll have some noodles tonight too. I've been feeling fat these two days at your house, so I'll eat something lighter at night."
Chen Feng said: "If it's light, just have porridge. Millet porridge is very good. Just make some side dishes."
Wu Mengting nodded quickly: "Yes. Just eat millet porridge at night."
Seeing that Wu Mengting agreed, Zhao Xiaolan said decisively: "Okay, let's have porridge in the evening."
When Chen Rui heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Then I'd better eat noodles tonight. Mom, just cook me some egg noodles."
Zhao Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Wu Mengting smiled and said, "If brother and uncle like to eat noodles, I can cook them for you."
As soon as these words were said, Chen Dayong and Chen Rui were immediately relieved, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
But they were not happy for long, Zhao Xiaolan said very domineeringly: "Everyone eats porridge, what kind of noodles should we eat? Ah Rui, Ah Yong, do you have any objection?"
Under his mother's stern gaze, Chen Rui was the first to give in and quickly shook his head: "No objection, no objection. Millet porridge is also delicious. It's better to be lighter."
Of course Chen Dayong was speechless.
So, it was such a happy decision to have porridge in the evening.
This made Wu Mengting admire and envy her. At the same time, she was even more determined to curry favor with Zhao Xiaolan.
The person in charge of Chen Feng's family is Zhao Xiaolan, who has an undisputed leadership position.
Not to mention Chen Dayong, who is a strict wife, even Li Guihong, the eldest daughter-in-law, has no status in their Chen family.
Wu Mengting guessed that this might have something to do with the fact that she gave birth to two daughters, but of course it might not matter. But if you don't have a son in the countryside, you will still lose some points in the eyes of the older generation.
After finishing the meal, Wu Mengting helped clear the table and asked to wash the dishes again, but this time her sister-in-law Li Guihong beat her to it.
Seeing this, Wu Mengting had no choice but to give up.
Then Zhao Xiaolan ordered Chen Feng to take Wu Mengting to play around and not stay bored at home all the time.
By this time, the rain outside had stopped and the sun was shining.
Therefore, Wu Mengting suggested that she go and play with her best friend Xu Shujing in the afternoon. Today happened to be Saturday and Xu Shujing did not go to work.
As for Bay Town, it just rained, so there's definitely not much fun there.
Chen Feng was really bored staying at home, so he agreed.
The two of them prepared for a while and got into the car. Chen Feng's cell phone rang. It was Fang Xiaoyue's call.
After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng answered.
"Chen Feng, you are really my savior. Thank you for your help this time. Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
It could be heard that Fang Xiaoyue was in a good mood at this time, as if she wanted to celebrate after the disaster.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng understood that Qin Zhen's uncle might have taken care of the matter, so he said calmly: "I don't have time tonight. Besides, this matter is not my fault, the main thing is Qin Zhen's help for you."
Chen Feng had no intention of taking favors from others, let alone from Qin Zhen, a good friend.
"Qin Zhen?" Fang Xiaoyue was very surprised, "Is he the friend you mentioned yesterday?"
"Yes, his uncle and Wang Guowei know each other and have a good relationship. His uncle came forward to intercede for you, and Wang Guowei really gained face."
"So that's it. No wonder Wang Guowei called me personally to comfort me and apologized to me on behalf of his wife? It seems that Qin Zhen's uncle is really very proud. Who is his uncle?"
"You don't know who his uncle is?" Chen Feng was a little surprised. Qin Zhen said that their two families lived very close to each other and they knew each other.
"I'm not very familiar with Qin Zhen, so of course I don't know who his uncle is?"
"Actually, I don't know his uncle, and I don't know his name. I only know that his uncle is a capable man with a wide network of people and knows many people. He was a civil servant when he was young, and later he went into business and founded our county.
’s first electronic equipment factory.”
"Oh, I know, it should be Ji Zhenguo. He is an entrepreneurial pioneer and iconic figure in our county in the last century. He is very famous in the county. I just didn't expect that he would be Qin Zhen's uncle."
"That should be him. So, if you want to thank him this time, just thank Qin Zhen and his uncle. I just helped to contact him." Chen Feng did not ask for credit at all. Of course, he was basically seeking truth from facts.
"Of course they want to thank you, but you want to thank me even more. If you hadn't helped contact Qin Zhen, I don't think he would have given me face as a classmate. After all, he and I haven't seen each other in almost eleven or twelve years, and now the street
You may not even know him if you meet him on the Internet. I know you have a good relationship with him, and he should be willing to help because of your face."
This can't be said to be wrong, but Chen Feng still defended Qin Zhen: "You have wronged Qin Zhen. He is very concerned about your matter. He also said that even if his uncle can't help,
If you are busy, he will find other ways. He still values you as an old classmate."
"Is this...really? I haven't seen him for so long, and I basically didn't talk to him when I was studying."
"Of course it is true. He also said that you two live relatively close to each other and are considered neighbors. As neighbors and old classmates, of course he will help."
"We don't live very close to each other. We are about two to three hundred meters apart. His family lives closer to the school."
"Don't worry about this. Anyway, Qin Zhen is nostalgic for his old friendship. He deserves the main credit this time. If you want to thank him, you should thank him."
"You are really... okay, I understand. Anyway, you two are my benefactors now. Do you have Qin Zhen's phone number? You can send it to me via WeChat later and I will thank him."
"Okay. I'm going to drive, so let me say this first."
"Oh well."
Chen Feng hung up the phone, found Qin Zhen's number and called him. He told him what had just happened. After getting his permission, he sent his mobile phone number to Fang Xiaoyue via WeChat.
After putting down her phone and starting the car, Wu Mengting, who was in the passenger seat, asked: "Whose call just now? It seemed to be a female voice. You also helped her, right?"
Chen Feng glanced at him sideways and said, "Fang Xiaoyue, I just met him last night."
Wu Mengting frowned slightly and asked: "What did she thank you for? Was it the last time you accompanied her to the hospital?"
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he roughly told what happened.
Wu Mengting was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, and said with a look of shock: "The Wang family is too unreasonable, isn't it? Wang Kangjian was hit by a car, how can you blame her? The sky is cloudy and sunny, and people have misfortunes and blessings. This is all nonsense.
It cannot be avoided.”
"Taking anger out on others is something that many people often do. Everyone knows that they are unreasonable, but that's how they think. They can always find reasons that they think are reasonable. There is no way to reason with such people."
"That's true. Fang Xiaoyue is also quite unlucky. Thanks to Qin Zhen's help, otherwise the Wang family is so powerful. If they wanted to retaliate against her, she would really be unable to resist."
After the two talked for a while, Chen Feng started the car.
After arriving at the county seat and meeting up with Xu Shujing, her husband actually didn't come. Had she known that Chen Feng would definitely not come over, the two of them were so good at chatting that Chen Feng was completely redundant, and he was a grown man following them both.
It's really not very comfortable and a bit weird to have a woman behind her buttocks in front of a follower.
Because neither of them is his girlfriend, nor are they family members.
At least that's what Chen Feng thinks.
The two women were holding hands and leaning side by side, very affectionate. They were walking and talking, laughing and joking.
Chen Feng could only follow behind him with some difficulty.
They first went to Starbucks together, then ordered a cup of coffee and sat on the window seat to chat.
Chen Feng could only sit there boredly scrolling through his cell phone.
If he had known this, he really wouldn't have come with us.
"Last time I drove back from Xiuzhou, I met Zhao Qigao at the expressway service station. What do you think it was a coincidence?"
"Zhao Qigao, that rich second generation."
"Yes. Didn't you have thoughts about him at the beginning?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Where am I? Don't accuse me wrongly."
"Hehe, maybe I remembered it wrong. Don't worry, I won't tell your husband."
"Screw you. It didn't happen in the first place. To be honest, Zhao Qigao was also interested in you. He gave you a large bouquet of roses back then, and then you gave that bouquet of roses to all the female classmates in the class.
, one flower per person. Haha, you played so beautifully, I still remember it very clearly."
"No way? I just don't want him to be too embarrassed, otherwise he will just throw it in the trash can."
"I think it would make him feel better if you just threw it in the trash can."
"...Haha, that's true."
…
Chen Feng pretended to check his cell phone while he occasionally listened to some of the past events between the two of them, some of which were quite amusing.
The conversation lasted for more than an hour, and then the two women took him to eat stinky tofu. It was Xu Shujing or a street vendor, which was really surprising.
But I have to say, the stinky tofu on the street...is really delicious. But it's not healthy.
After eating the stinky tofu, the two women went to the busiest commercial street in the county to shop, hand in hand and side by side. They walked in and out of each house, cheerful and happy.
Chen Feng felt quite miserable following them.
He secretly swore in his heart that next time he took Wu Mengting to the county town for shopping, he would be the dog.
Coming out of a store again, Chen Feng couldn't stand it anymore and was about to ask Wu Mengting to go to the KFC waiting for them in front.
Then they saw a person walking towards them, it was Zhao Qigao, their old classmate whom they had talked about before.
"Ah! You... why are you here?" Zhao Qigao looked at them in surprise, with a dumbfounded expression.
"We should be asking you this, right? Why did you come to Linnan?" Xu Shujing reached out and touched her bangs and asked.
Wu Mengting also looked at him curiously.
Zhao Qigao then explained with a smile: "Didn't I plan to open a milk tea shop recently? So I chose a location across the city."
Wu Mengting said in surprise: "Didn't you say you wanted to open it in the city last time? Why did you come here to choose a location?"
Zhao Qigao smiled and said: "The store in the city has been selected. It is on Xianqian Street. The store contract has been signed and the decoration will start in the next two days. However, I also want to open another store in the city.
Take a look inside the range.”
Wu Mengting nodded suddenly.
Xu Shujing asked curiously: "You want to open a milk tea shop? Is it the kind of Internet celebrity milk tea shop that is very popular now?"
"Yes. Have you heard of Gugu milk tea? It is very popular now and its development momentum is quite good."
"I think I've heard of it. Young people seem to like this kind of Internet-famous milk tea. Maybe there will be real business if you open it."
Zhao Qigao said confidently: "There is definitely business, the problem is how much we earn."
Xu Shujing asked: "How is your inspection here?"
Zhao Qigao said with a smile: "I met you not long after I came here. I remember Shujing, you are from Linnan. Why don't you show me around. I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight to thank you."
Xu Shujing looked at Wu Mengting and asked: "Mengting, would you like to help our old classmate?"
Wu Mengting looked at Chen Feng inquiringly.
Chen Feng took the opportunity to say: "I have something else to do. I have to go back, so I won't accompany you. How about you three old classmates go shopping together."
Wu Mengting said quickly: "Then I have to go with you. I didn't drive here."
When Zhao Qigao heard this, he quickly said: "I'm driving here, and I can take you back then."
"No need, I'm staying at his house now, it's a bit inconvenient."
Chen Feng was speechless when he heard this, while Zhao Qigao was stunned. He obviously misunderstood Wu Mengting's words, but Wu Mengting had no intention of explaining.
