In the passenger seat, Zhao Guozhong looked both sad and excited.
After the car drove out of the city, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Have you seen the funny looks of Lao Liu and the others before? It's so fun! When I was in the box, I told them that you are rich and energetic, which is great.
None of them believed it yet. Look now, they are all dumbfounded."
Chen Feng said angrily: "Why are you praising me for doing nothing?"
Zhao Guozhong chuckled and said: "Among my juniors, you are the only one worthy of praise. Others, including your brother, are not enough. I thought you just made some money in Xiuzhou, but I didn't expect you to be so popular."
So wide, so energetic. Hehe, so many people were ordered to stand and frisked tonight. You and I were the only two people who were not searched or made to stand. This time you really gave me a face.
.”
Chen Feng secretly shook his head after hearing this. As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you want something.
What Zhao Guozhong lacks most is that others respect him and look up to him.
He had been messing around in society since he was a teenager, achieving nothing. He finally found a wife, but she ran away within two years. After that, everything went wrong for him, and he could only waste his time year after year, being despised and laughed at.
, and I’m fed up with the supercilious looks from others.
Now I am almost fifty years old, and I am still a bachelor with no money. It is really miserable.
He had lost all his face tonight, in front of a few so-called old friends, and also in front of Chen Feng, his nephew.
But during a sudden inspection at the nightclub, Chen Feng, the nephew, quickly regained the face he had lost, making him blush and gain face in front of the four gangsters like Lao Liu.
As for his face in front of his nephew Chen Feng, it doesn't matter since he is a member of his own family.
After a while, Zhao Guozhong couldn't help but ask: "A Feng, who was the leader who helped you before? He's hooking up with you. You must have a good relationship, right?"
"My classmate." Chen Feng simply answered without saying anything specific, otherwise he would be really afraid that his uncle would ask Qin Zhen for help through him from time to time.
"As expected, we are classmates, I knew it. Hehe, it's good to have such a powerful classmate." Zhao Guozhong grinned, "What is his position? Captain or captain?"
Chen Feng said perfunctorily: "He is from the confidentiality department, and I don't know either. Don't pry around."
"Oh oh oh, I know." Zhao Guozhong nodded quickly, with a look of awe on his face, "The confidentiality department must keep it secret, I understand."
Zhao Guozhong didn't ask any more questions. When he was about to get home, his cell phone rang. He picked it up, looked at it, and then said to Chen Feng with a smile: "The sixth one called me, this guy is quite shameless."
Thick."
After saying that, he hung up the other party's phone call directly.
"Humph, I've already broken up with him, but he still has the nerve to call me. What a shame!"
Zhao Guozhong had a triumphant expression on his face, and he was grinning almost crookedly.
Chen Feng saw him looking like a villain and couldn't help but shake his head again. What's so proud about this? He felt that he was embarrassed in front of Qin Zhen tonight.
However, he was still his uncle no matter what. He had always been kind to him when he was a child and even saved him.
Although he had always disliked him in his heart, especially when he was watching his mother and aunt gather wool.
The most outrageous thing is that five or six years ago, he borrowed 50,000 yuan from his mother and aunt with various nice words and lies, totaling 100,000 yuan, and then disappeared without a trace, and there was no phone call for two or three years in a row.
So much so that they thought something had happened to him, and his mother and aunt almost posted a missing person notice.
Later, after many inquiries, I contacted him and confirmed that he was safe, so I felt relieved.
After that, we had intermittent contact, but his uncle never came back to his hometown.
Until this time when he suddenly came back on New Year's Eve, Chen Feng thought that he probably had no money. He also heard that the two brothers had opened a car wash shop to make a lot of money, and he wanted to come back to make a fortune or take advantage of the autumn wind.
He was very angry before, but when he saw that his mother was worried about his uncle, he suddenly looked away.
No matter what, this uncle is his mother's biological brother, and he was also entrusted to her by his grandparents before their death. He is his mother's relative, and he can also be regarded as his own relative.
So why not be more tolerant to your uncle and help him when you can?
He now has the ability to guide his uncle on the right path in life, so that he can live a good life in the future and his mother can feel relieved.
This was the fundamental reason for his change of attitude towards his old uncle.
In addition, now that he is terminally ill, he looks at problems from a different perspective than before, and his mentality has become more open-minded, and he no longer cares about trivial matters, especially the relatives and friends around him.
Zhao Guozhong hung up the phone three times in a row. When the other party called for the fourth time, he automatically hung up and answered the call and pressed play.
"Lao Qi, would you like to take turns calling me one by one?"
Zhao Guozhong held the mobile phone with a smile on his face, but his tone was neither negative nor negative.
The old man on the other end kept apologizing and saying nice things, which made Chen Feng shake his head. People of the same kind flock together, and the friends my old uncle made are the kind of people who bully the weak, fear the strong, and adapt to the wind.
After Chen Feng listened for a while, he stopped paying attention.
The car soon arrived in front of his house and stopped. Zhao Guozhong was still talking to the old seventh man with a grin on his face.
Chen Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him. It was already early in the morning and it was better to go to bed early.
The next morning Chen Feng got up at seven o'clock as usual and was in good spirits.
After washing, I went for a run as usual, then came back to take a shower and have breakfast.
At this time, my uncle Zhao Guozhong had also gotten up. When he saw Chen Feng, he came over with a smile on his face and whispered: "Lao Liu and the others all called me to apologize and say good things to me. They also said that they would serve wine at Mingyue Tower to apologize to me.
Apologize. Hey, would I miss a drink from them? My eight thousand eighty-eight bottle of wine last night was enough for them to have at least two or three banquets at Mingyue Tower."
Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "You should ignore these people from now on."
Zhao Guozhong nodded quickly: "Of course. I'm not really stupid. After being treated like that by them last night, I'm really stupid to continue to associate with them."
"It's good that you know. It's human nature to flatter others and downgrade others, but these few are white-eyed and unscrupulous people, so don't date them anymore. Unless you have a lower bottom line than them, you will end up with nothing.
You'll get yourself into trouble."
"Yes, yes. You are right." Zhao Guozhong nodded again and again, "They are white-eyed wolves. I used to entertain them with wine and cigarettes. Although they occasionally invited me back, they would double in number very quickly.
Earn it back.
I used to treat them as friends and not care about them. But what happened last night made me understand them completely. Just like what you said last night, I treated them as friends, but they treated me as a fool.
This time, if I get a few words of apology from them and make peace with them, they might accuse me behind their backs and laugh at me for being a fool. Huh, now I treat them as a fool and am teasing them."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "As long as you know it in your heart."
Zhao Guozhong laughed and said, "I know very well who is good to me and who is not good to me. Now in this world, your mother and you are the best to me."
Chen Feng was so disgusted by his words that he had goosebumps all over his body. He rolled his eyes at him and continued eating porridge without paying any attention to him.
Zhao Guozhong watched him eat with a smile on his face, until Chen Feng said to him unhappily: "Uncle, if you are fine, go to the fields to help my parents pick vegetables."
Today he is going to Tianzhou to celebrate the New Year. His parents went to their fields early to pick vegetables, planning to send them to his grandma and aunt, and they will definitely give a lot of them.
His grandma and aunt must not have cared about it before, but now these organic vegetables grown in the countryside for their own consumption are not necessarily available to city dwellers.
Before the change, Zhao Guozhong would definitely not go to work in the fields, but today he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will go and help."
After saying that, he left. Zhao Guozhong was very familiar with where their home was because he had often lived in their house before.
At almost nine o'clock, Zhao Guozhong and Zhao Xiaolan came back from the fields and packed four large woven bags of vegetables, including cabbage, Chinese cabbage, white radish, and sweet potatoes.
When Chen Feng saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Mom and dad, why are you sending so many people? There are only five people in my aunt's family including grandma."
Zhao Xiaolan said helplessly: "It was your grandma who said she wanted to send more. Now we can't buy organic vegetables from the countryside in the city."
Chen Feng curled his lips and corrected: "It's not that you can't buy it, it's that it's too expensive. That's how virtuous she is."
He was not really close to his unrelated grandma. He was not very kind to the two brothers when he was a child, and he still had some resentment in his heart.
We only met each other during the Chinese New Year more than ten years ago, and of course our relationship has become increasingly distant.
Zhao Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and said: "It may not be true even if you buy it. The taste is much worse than what we grow at home."
Chen Dayong said angrily: "How can you talk? No matter what she is, she is still your grandma."
"It's not a kiss."
"You kid..." Chen Dayong glared angrily. He usually didn't get close to or talk to his two sons, but if he was really angry, he wouldn't hesitate to beat the children.
"Okay." Zhao Xiaolan interrupted Chen Dayong who was about to get angry, "This is also for your aunt. Your grandma is not good to you, and your aunt has loved you very much since you were a child."
Chen Feng was speechless. His grandma was not his real grandma, but his aunt was his real aunt, and he had the same father as me.
His aunt had loved her very much since she was a child, and she would often carry him around the village when she was little.
After she got married and moved to Tianzhou, she always remembered him. During the Chinese New Year, she gave him red envelopes worth one thousand each. This happened every year until he got married. At that time, her wedding gift was only eighteen thousand, which was very generous.
.
"Okay. I'm just saying. Dad, why are you so serious?"
After Chen Feng complained a little, he changed the topic and said, "Brother, are they ready? Let's go when we are ready. It will take two or three hours to drive there. If we go late, we won't be able to catch lunch."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's voice came from the stairs: "Okay, okay. Let's go at any time."
"Okay, parents, go change your clothes and get ready to go."
In ten minutes, the family gathered at the door. My uncle knew that today the whole family was going to Tianzhou to pay New Year's greetings, so he expressed his intention to go back to his own home.
Zhao Xiaolan tried to persuade him to continue living here, but he still refused.
This makes everyone except Zhao Xiaolan quite satisfied.
Although Zhao Guozhong and Zhao Xiaolan are biological siblings, his sister's whole family is away, so it would be a bit awkward for him to live alone.
"A Feng, I'll be back after playing for two days. Uncle, I'm still waiting for you."
Before leaving, Zhao Guozhong reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Feng, his nephew, which made Chen Feng's body get goosebumps again. Others in the family were greatly surprised and didn't know the reason.
"Okay. You should go home and clean up early."
Chen Feng waved to him impatiently.
Zhao Guozhong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then drive carefully on the road. I'm leaving too."
He was very straightforward. After saying that, he took the e-Donkey key given by Chen Dayong, rode on the e-Donkey, made a graceful turn, arrived in front of the two brothers' cars, waved and walked away.
This clean and tidy attitude made several people around Chen Feng look stunned.
"A Feng, what's wrong with your uncle?"
As Zhao Guozhong's sister, Zhao Xiaolan can't understand it.
Chen Rui stuck his head out of the car window and reminded: "A Feng, you have to be careful. If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing. My uncle may have something in mind for you."
Zhao Xiaolan immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you ever said that about your uncle?"
Chen Rui chuckled and said, "Mom, haven't you seen how disgusting my uncle is? I've never seen him be so fawning to Chen Feng before. He specifically asked Chen Feng if he wanted to buy some fruit. He went to buy it and kindly reminded Chen Feng.
Turn on the navigation, drive carefully and avoid traffic jams on the road. We are all nephews, why haven’t I seen him being so polite to me?"
Zhao Xiaolan couldn't refute immediately. She asked again: "A Feng, what's going on?"
Chen Feng was afraid that his family would misunderstand, so he had to briefly say: "Last night, my uncle went to the county town for a drink. He had a quarrel with someone and had some conflicts. He asked me to come over and help. I happened to have an acquaintance in the county town and helped to settle the matter."
"Really, why didn't he call me last night?" Chen Rui suddenly became a little unhappy.
Zhao Xiaolan said angrily: "Can you go if I ask you?"
There is a hint of innuendo in this statement.
Chen Feng heard it and immediately interrupted: "I helped my brother-in-law and let him gain face in front of his friends, so he treated me like this. I can't stand it. Mom, next time you talk about him, after all I am
His nephew, there is no need for him to please me so much."
"He is really going to the county town to drink."
Chen Rui said full of resentment: "Last time I went to my uncle's house, he won me and my dad thousands of dollars. He must have gone to live in style."
This is really the case. Chen Rui did not accuse him unjustly.
"Okay, let's go. Don't keep your grandma and aunt waiting too long."
Elaine Chao wisely changed the topic.
"Chen Feng, please drive ahead. Is the navigation turned on?"
"Yes, it's open."
The two brothers drove towards Tianzhou one after the other.
First take the national highway, then get on the expressway after two or three kilometers, drive straight on the expressway for about two hours, and then drive 20 to 30 minutes to his aunt's house.
