Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...
"Wow, the mat is so hard, and there's even a bull's head on it?" Huang Fei's father asked in surprise.
"This big bull's head is really nice." Huang Fei's grandfather came out and said when he heard the voice.
"Eat up, sir, it's still warm inside," Huang Fei said, pulling out a cigarette.
"Hmm, I'll try it." Huang Fei's father and grandfather reached out and opened the plastic bag, ready to taste whether it was good or not.
"Hey, this is really good, not bad at all," Huang Fei's father said after taking a bite.
"Hmm, not fishy at all, it's really well-cooked." Huang Fei's grandfather nodded, smacking his lips.
Before they could even take a few bites, their neighbor came over with a plastic bag.
"Hey, Dafei, I just remembered, you said you'd pack up a cow's head and feed it to the dogs, that's just nonsense."
"You don't have a dog at your house, but I do have one. Don't give it to me." The neighbor had just come in carrying a plastic bag when he saw Huang Fei's father and grandfather, each holding a beef bone and gnawing on it.
"Um... how about you two finish eating it before you give it to me?" the neighbor said, somewhat awkwardly waving the plastic bag.
No wonder Huang Fei didn't have a dog at home, and even brought back a bull's head. So that's what happened.
Huang Fei's grandfather and father froze upon hearing this, each holding a cow bone, and slowly turned to look at Huang Fei, who was smoking.
"Uh, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Sensing that things were not going well, the neighbor coughed lightly and turned to leave.
"You mean this thing was packed up to feed the dogs?" Huang Fei's father pursed his lips and said with an unfriendly look.
"Oh dear, I remember Fengzi wanted to see me about something. It's so late, I need to go back and check." Huang Fei said, glancing at his phone as he stood up, ready to run away.
"Where the hell are you running to? Explain yourself!" His father stood up abruptly and reached out to grab Huang Fei by the back of the neck.
"Holy crap!" Huang Fei turned around and was so scared he almost died. He scrambled out of the house.
"Stop right there!" Huang Fei's father, carrying a cow bone, chased after Huang Fei.
The two men chased after him all the way out of the compound. How could Huang Fei's father possibly catch up with him? The cow bone in his hand flew away, but he still couldn't catch up with him.
"Damn it, you little brat!" Huang Fei's father gasped for breath, cursing as he watched Huang Fei run off into the distance.
The neighbor who had just left hadn't gone far when he saw the father and son rushing out. He stood there in amazement, watching, and by sheer coincidence, the cow bone flew right to his feet.
"Oh, these are such good bones, are you still going to eat them? If not, I'll feed them to the dog."
After struggling with his thoughts for a while, the neighbor finally said to Huang Fei's father, feeling embarrassed.
"Eat my ass, take it away!" Huang Fei's father said irritably.
"Okay." The man, wearing a plastic bag, picked up the cow bones and took them home.
"Eat up, look how much I love you. You have no idea where this beef bone came from; it was a close call!" the neighbor said, petting the dog with a hint of trepidation.
The newborn puppy, looking at the cow bone that was bigger than itself, was filled with surprise and delight, barking around but not knowing where to start eating.
"What's going on? What's going on? It sounds like they're fighting." Huang Fei's mother was working inside when she heard the commotion outside and ran out with a bed sheet in her hand.
"Your son packed some food for us, saying he'd feed it to the dogs when he got back. What a damn filial son!" Huang Fei's father said angrily as he sat down in his chair after returning home.
"Dad, you're still gnawing on this? Didn't you hear what your grandson was saying about you?" Huang Fei's father rolled his eyes as he looked at Huang Fei's father, who was still gnawing on the food.
"What's the big deal? It's good enough that they brought it back for you. Who wouldn't take it back?" Huang Fei's grandfather was quite easygoing, and even poured himself some soy sauce to dip in.
"Exactly, it's such a small thing, why did you run so hard your shoes flew off? The kid is just embarrassed."
"You're always making a fuss, just eat your food." Huang Fei's mother picked up a beef bone and stuffed it directly into Huang Fei's father's mouth.
"Oh my... um... the meat inside is still warm." Huang Fei's father said, smacking his lips.
Huang Fei had already run to Chen Feng's house by then.
"What are you doing? Did a dog chase you?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled, looking at Huang Fei who was panting heavily.
"Pretty much, my dad kicked me out." Huang Fei sat down and reached for a bottle of mineral water at the door.
Chen Feng: "..."
"Mmm, this egg sausage is really delicious. I've never seen it sold in the city before." Xia Yingying said as she walked downstairs, holding a piece of sausage in her hand.
“It’s also available in the city, but not in large quantities. This is a specialty of rural banquets,” Chen Feng replied.
"Fengzi, wait here." Zheng Ping had just delivered the groceries home and came in.
"Here you go." Chen Feng tossed him a cigarette.
"I'm quitting, I've given up." Zheng Ping took the cigarette, waved it, and handed it to Huang Fei, who was sitting by the door.
"You've given up? What's wrong? Weren't you smoking at the dinner table just now?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"No way, don't talk nonsense. When did I have a seizure just now?" Zheng Ping rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
"He definitely didn't smoke it; I offered it to him, but he refused," Huang Fei testified.
"Oh, I didn't notice either. What's going on? Are you trying to conceive?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Ping blushed.
“Your sister-in-law said that you can’t drink alcohol or smoke when you’re trying to conceive, so I thought I’d abstain for a while first,” Zheng Ping said with a smile, scratching his head.
"No wonder, I knew you could quit smoking." Chen Feng suddenly realized.
"Fengzi, now that you're back, does that mean I don't need to lead the work tomorrow?" Zheng Ping asked.
"What's wrong? If you're free, just take over. Have you had enough?" Chen Feng asked.
"It's not that, it's just that sometimes I have to manage people, and I always feel like I can't bring myself to do it," Zheng Ping said after a moment's hesitation.
He felt that he was better suited to working quietly and diligently, the kind of person who would do whatever you asked him to do.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng blinked at him, and finally shook his head.
"Alright, then let my dad take the lead from now on, and you just lead the team."
"You're nothing special, what's there to be embarrassed about when you're in charge of people?" Huang Fei said, sitting at the doorway.
"I feel that it's better to do it myself than to order them around, since it's something I can easily do anyway."
"As a result, I ended up doing more and more work, and I was exhausted every day. Sigh." Zheng Ping said, feeling very conflicted.
"Your personality is really something! I'm going to groom you as my successor, how can you amount to anything? How can I possibly make you the crown prince?" Chen Feng slammed his fist on the table in anguish, which drew laughter from everyone.
"Forget it, I really can't do it." Zheng Ping felt a headache coming on just thinking about it and quickly shook his head.
"This grandson actually took it seriously and even made you the crown prince. I've been with Father Emperor for so many years," Huang Fei chuckled.
“Okay, I’ll go to the mine tomorrow. I haven’t been back for so many days. Yingying, you’re coming with me tomorrow.” Chen Feng turned to Xia Yingying, who was eating sausage at the bottom of the stairs, and said.
