Zhao Guozhong was severely hit, but Chen Feng had no psychological burden on him.
Zhao Guozhong will be fifty years old next year. He has no ability but also likes to show off and brag, and has unrealistic illusions about his personal charm.
If his illusions and self-confidence are not broken, something else will happen to him in the future.
Chen Feng didn't want to have to wipe his uncle's butt over and over again, and he didn't want his mother to worry about him all the time.
Therefore, it is necessary to hit him more and let him recognize the reality.
What's more, what Chen Feng just said was the truth. The reason why Mao Xiaoling was willing to marry his uncle was not about love or liking, but purely out of various interests.
Chen Feng stayed in the room for more than half an hour, and then his brother knocked on the door and asked him to come over for dinner.
Because there were so many people this time, a large round table was set up in the front room on the first floor. Chen Feng’s family, his brother-in-law, his aunt Zhao Guozhong, and his four children were all there.
As soon as Chen Feng came over, he was surrounded by his two nieces, asking for gifts.
Chen Feng came to his hometown this time because he had temporarily forgotten about this incident. He could only say that after eating, he would take them to the supermarket on the street to buy some food. The two nieces let him go, but they still followed him, one on the left and one on the right.
Pulling him along, they sat next to him one on the left and one on the right when they went to the table to eat. It was obvious that the two of them still disliked his uncle.
Although Chen Feng now has two children of his own, his love for his two nieces has not diminished. Otherwise, they would not have been listed as beneficiaries of the family fund in the first place.
Now I have two nieces, the eldest is already in the second grade of elementary school, 9 years old, and the younger one is in the kindergarten class at 7 years old, and will enter the first grade of elementary school in the second half of the year.
The eldest niece is already 1.3 meters tall, and the younger niece is also 1.2 meters tall. They are growing very fast.
At this age, both of them are beginning to be sensible. In addition, they only have an uncle like Chen Feng, who has been very good to them since they were young. It is rare for them to come back, so of course they are more clingy now.
As for Mao Xiaoling's two children, the eldest is a daughter, who is 12 years old this year, and the younger is a son, who is also eight years old.
At Mao Xiaoling's request, the two children called them Brother Chen Feng and introduced them. The daughter's name and the son's name were of course not named after his uncle Zhao Guozhong or Mao Xiaoling, but after her ex-husband.
.
This made Chen Feng feel a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that the man she loved most was still her ex-husband, even though her ex-husband had been dead for several years.
Otherwise, after a woman remarries, her ex-husband has been dead for several years, and the children will either have their own surname, or they will have their current husband's surname directly, and generally the latter will be the most common. Especially if she has no children with her current husband, it is very important for her children to have the same surname.
Having the same surname as your current husband will definitely be conducive to family harmony.
Unfortunately, his uncle has been married to this woman for almost a year, and the two children neither have his uncle's surname nor have any intention of having children with him.
For the sake of his uncle, Chen Feng ostensibly praised the two children, Mao Xiaoling. The 12-year-old daughter was pretty pretty, and the 8-year-old son was pretty good-looking and a bit smart.
After dinner, the two nieces around Chen Feng all brought him dishes, allowing him to enjoy the filial piety of his two nieces. His eldest brother Chen Rui was a little jealous, and couldn't help but said to his two daughters: "You guys are too much.
Well, I’ll just pick up the food for your uncle, where is my biological father?”
The eldest daughter Xiaoyu said very matter-of-factly: "My uncle bought me toys. What about you, did you buy them for me?"
"Why didn't I buy it?" Chen Rui retorted, "Didn't I buy you a skipping rope two or three months ago?"
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes cutely and said, "Skipping rope is a must-buy in school, so can it be called a toy? More than two months ago, I asked you to buy me a My Little Pony set, but you never bought it."
Xiaoxue also echoed: "That's right, last month I asked you to buy me a My Little Pony card, but you never bought it."
Chen Rui was immediately speechless.
Seeing this, sister-in-law Li Guihong immediately came to her husband's rescue and said: "You two know how to buy things randomly every day. You are so big, what toys do you want to buy for them? Ah Feng, don't buy them for a while. It's raining lightly."
It’s been half a year since she was in third grade, so it’s very important to study hard. Xiaoxue will be in first grade in the second half of the year, so she has to give up her hobby of playing with toys.”
The two nieces were not afraid of their father, but they were afraid of their mother. When they saw Li Guihong speaking, they did not dare to speak and could only sullenly sulked.
Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled and said: "Playing with toys appropriately can help intellectual development. Those children with good academic performance have never been obsessed with studying. Children who are obsessed with studying will never become talents. Combining work and rest, in learning
Playing appropriately or having one or two hobbies in your spare time is more conducive to the healthy development of body, mind and intelligence."
As soon as Chen Feng said this, Zhao Guozhong immediately agreed: "Yes, Ah Feng is right. When he was a child, Ah Feng had very good academic performance, but he did not study hard. At that time, he often went fishing with me.
We also went up the mountain to pick persimmons and chestnuts and catch rabbits, which was a lot of fun.”
Chen Rui also said: "Yes, my wife, we should let them play. We can't just let them study. In that case, they will be silly studying."
Mao Xiaoling said: "Children should be given time to play, but only during holidays. During normal study time, you should concentrate on studying, but you can't be distracted by playing. In that case, your mind will be distracted, and there will be no time to concentrate.
study?"
When Li Guihong saw that all three men were against her, she felt a little worried. Now when she heard that Mao Xiaoling supported her, her expression suddenly became much better. She nodded and said: "Auntie is right. Children should not be careless in their studies. They should pay attention to them from an early age."
Starting from an early age, we must cultivate in them the habit of loving learning and focusing on learning. Otherwise, when they grow up in the future, it will be even more difficult to learn, and they will be much worse than other outstanding children. One step is slow, and the other is slow."
"Yes, that's the truth. We can't let our children lose at the starting line. We can't let other children run to the finish line. Our children have just started running. Learning should start from an early age. This is the case for my two children.
, so now their academic performance is pretty good, and they are ranked among the top in the class every time they take exams."
When Li Guihong heard this, she immediately said emotionally: "Auntie, then I want to learn from you."
Mao Xiaoling pretended to be modest and waved her hand and said: "I don't have much experience. I have been strict with them since I was a child. We can communicate with each other in the future."
"well."
After listening to their conversation, the three men, Chen Feng, wisely chose to shut up.
At this time, my father and mother both brought food from the kitchen at the back, each with a plate. After it was placed on the table, they also found an empty seat to sit down.
Mom Zhao Xiaolan said: "Okay, the dishes are ready, let's eat."
There are some home-cooked dishes on the table, but there are also more than a dozen plates, both hot and cold dishes.
"Sister, let me toast you first. Thank you for your constant love and care for my brother."
As Zhao Guozhong spoke, he raised his glass and stood up, drinking all the beer in the glass in one gulp.
Zhao Xiaolan looked at her brother with some suspicion and said angrily: "You just know how to thank me now. What were you doing before?"
Zhao Guozhong was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "I used to be grateful in my heart, but I was too thin-skinned to express my gratitude. Today, I suddenly felt emotional. Thinking of my sister's care for me over the years, I mustered up the courage to say my thanks shamelessly.
."
Zhao Xiaolan curled her lips slightly in disgust and said, "I don't need you to thank me. As long as you live a good life in the future and don't make any more troubles, I will thank God."
Zhao Guozhong immediately promised: "No, don't worry, sister. I am already so old. From now on, Xiaoling and I will take good care of the supermarket and live a good life. I have nothing else to look forward to."
Mao Xiaoling suddenly said: "Brother Zhong said he wanted to have a child with me, I..."
"No more babies!" Zhao Guozhong loudly interrupted Mao Xiaoling's words, and with her astonished expression, he slowly said, "Many people said that I raised children for others, and that I was a gangster, and so on. I just thought about it.
I want a child with Xiaoling. But now I have figured it out. Xiaoling already has two children. Now I am their stepfather. From now on, I will raise them as my own children. In the future, I will not
I pray that they will be filial to me when they grow up and provide for me until I die. I just need to do my duty and have a clear conscience. If they don't be filial to me when they grow up in the future, I will admit it and just consider their fate to be miserable.
"
Mao Xiaoling frowned and said, "What are you talking about? How can they not be filial to you when they grow up?"
Zhao Guozhong chuckled and said: "That's not what I meant, I just made an assumption. Anyway, don't worry, I said I will treat them as my own children, and I will definitely do what I say. If I have another child with you, as soon as I come
You and I are both old. Secondly, if we really give birth to a child, your two children will definitely be unhappy. Therefore, to avoid trouble for everyone in the future and disharmony in the family, we will not have a child."
Mao Xiaoling was stunned for a while without saying anything.
Zhao Xiaolan moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything against it.
"Come on, let's eat some food."
Chen Rui opened his mouth to warm up the atmosphere, so everyone moved their chopsticks, and slowly the atmosphere became lively again.
Zhao Guozhong and Chen Rui were both talkative, and they became even more talkative after drinking. They had a great time chatting with each other.
Li Guihong was interested in childcare and had a chat with Mao Xiaoling.
Both Chen Dayong and Chen Feng were relatively silent, just eating with their heads down. Zhao Xiaolan also liked to talk, but in this situation today, she didn't talk nonsense, she just chatted with her two granddaughters.
Chatting.
After almost an hour, the banquet broke up and Chen Feng was dragged out by his two nieces.
Of course Chen Feng didn't take it seriously when his sister-in-law asked him not to buy toys for his two nieces, let alone his two nieces.
So, Chen Feng drove his two nieces to the supermarket on the next street to buy toys.
Entering the supermarket, the two nieces quickly picked out their toys. Xiaoyu picked out a complete set of My Little Pony dolls in a big box, and Xiaoxue picked out a dozen My Little Pony cards.
Chen Feng took them to the cashier to check out, and they spent more than three hundred dollars in one go.
These two things are quite expensive, especially in a town like theirs. It can only be said that children's money is indeed easy to make.
Of course, Chen Feng definitely didn't care about the money, and he didn't mean to feel bad. After paying the bill, he came out of the supermarket with his two nieces.
She met an aunt who knew her.
"Oh, Ah Feng, you're back. I met your mother the day before yesterday, and she was still talking about you, saying that you haven't been home since the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect you to come today. What's wrong with you coming back?
"
Chen Feng still had some impression of Auntie. He had visited his canteen before, but he didn't know what it was called specifically. He could only smile and said, "It's okay. I'll come back and have a look."
"That's right. Come home often. You can't make enough money. Parents and family are the most important. Come back when you have time."
The aunt continued to nag for a while.
After Chen Feng patiently listened to what she said for a long time, he smiled slightly awkwardly but politely and said, "Aunt, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, why do you call me aunt? You want to call me grandma. I am the same generation as your grandma. I am the cousin of your grandma's cousin."
Chen Feng was dumbfounded. He really didn't know that he had such a relationship with this aunt. She was not much older than his mother, but due to their seniority, Chen Feng could only smile and hold back the word "grandma".
The aunt smiled broadly, and when she was about to talk again, the two nieces finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled Chen Feng to say, "Second uncle, let's go quickly. I want to go back and play with toys."
Chen Feng was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Okay, let's go first, grandma, see you later."
Without waiting for the grandmother to react, Chen Feng took his two nieces and left in a hurry.
But as soon as the three of them walked to the Cayenne, another person stopped him, smiled at him and said: "A Feng, you're back. What a coincidence. Come on, come and have a drink with me. Just in front of you."
BBQ stall.”
Chen Feng took a closer look at this man. He was bald and thirty-three or four years old. He was a neighbor near his home. He was not very familiar with him, but he had known him since he was a child. His name was Bao Kangshun, and he was also a classmate of his brother Chen Rui.
"No, I still have two children with me?" Chen Feng quickly refused.
"It doesn't matter. You call your brother and sister-in-law and ask them to come over. Let your sister-in-law take the child away. Your brothers and I can have a few drinks together."
"I've already had a drink tonight, so I won't go." Chen Feng still refused.
"Drink after you've finished drinking. It doesn't matter if you drink less. To save face, there's your classmate Zhang Qizhi with us. Do you remember? He's your classmate from elementary school. He happens to be working in our town now and is the deputy mayor."
Chen Feng thought for a moment after hearing this. It seemed that there was a classmate with this name in elementary school, but it was so long ago that he had no specific impression. After all, the two were no longer classmates in junior high school, and they should not even be in the same school. Otherwise, everyone would be the same.
Guys, he should be more impressed.
Chen Feng was embarrassed to say that he didn't remember, so he could only shake his head and refuse again: "I still have guests at home, so I won't go. Let's do it next time."
"Hey, you are really...forget it, then I won't force you." Bao Kangshun's face was a little ugly, but he still endured it and said, "Then add a friend and contact you later."
After all, he was his neighbor and his brother's classmate. Even though Chen Feng was reluctant in his heart, he still took out his mobile phone and added him as a friend.
"Okay, let's do this for now, and we'll contact you when we have time."
"good."
Seeing that Bao Kangshun was finally gone, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately opened the car and let his two nieces get in, followed by him.
What annoys him the most when he returns to his hometown is this kind of social interaction, but he can't just refuse it because of the face of himself or his family. ()
