Chapter 1902: Promising Brother-in-Law

When it comes to the various means of transportation when traveling, Wan Feng dislikes flying the most. It can be said that apart from being fast, there is no fun at all.

His favorite thing is still taking the train.

It would be best if it was summer, with sleeper berths and rain, that would be perfect for Wan Feng.

Climbing on the window to look at the misty rain outside and listening to the sound of the train is a spiritual enjoyment for Wan Feng.

This is the weather today.

From the moment I got on the train, it started to drizzle.

There were two berths for five people. He and Luan Feng occupied one, and Han Guang's family of three occupied another.

Wan Feng leaned against the window and climbed onto the small table, tilting his head to look at the drizzle outside the car window and the rapidly receding scenery. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to feel the tingling sensation of the drizzle falling on his palm.

The only thing that disturbed his interest was a crackling sound.

"Do you miss Zhang Xuan?" Luan Feng asked while lying on the berth opposite him and eating cantaloupe.

The crunching sound came from her mouth.

"In no mood!"

Wan Feng answered in a firm tone without any hesitation.

"I heard you fooled me."

"I really don't want to. Thinking about her when I'm with you is disrespectful to both you and myself."

Even lies are told in a clear and concise manner and with confidence.

"Haha! I just like the way you talk nonsense in a serious manner."

"What are you talking about? I'm telling the truth. It's the truth! It's more beautiful and truer than the truth."

"Zhen Youmei? The heroine in that movie is called this name?" Luan Feng thought that she must have seen the movie Zhen Youmei.

Wan Feng also didn't remember which movie Zhen Youmei was in: "I can't remember."

"Huh! You must be thinking about Zhang Xuan!"

What kind of logic is this? If I can’t remember Zhen Youmei, then I’m thinking of Zhang Xuan?

If I can’t think of Du Qiu, who else should I think of?

Oh, I remember now, Zhen Youmei is the heroine in the movie "The Chase".

Wan Feng and his friends boarded the train at five o'clock, and after a night of travel, they arrived in Long Town at around four o'clock the next morning.

After getting off the train, we found a stall to have breakfast and bought tickets to take the 7 o'clock train to Heihe. It took more than three hours and we got off at Wuxian Railway Station at 10:20 in the morning.

This was the first time Wan Feng took a train to Wuxian after the railway was opened to Wuxian.

When he left Heihe a few years ago, the railway seemed to have just been built to Chaoshuai, so he didn't get to ride it.

These locomotives and carriages might have been donated by him.

No, the carriages he donated were all freight carriages, there were no passenger carriages.

Of course Zhang Xuan knew that they had arrived today, and Wan Feng called her on the way.

He arrived at the station early with Yang Jianguo, Han Meng and Zhang Zhiyuan and was waiting.

So when Wan Feng and his group came out of the ticket gate, Zhang Xuan jumped up, waved his arms, and jogged over.

Zhang Xuan and Luan Feng hugged each other. Although she wanted to hug Wan Feng, she gave up the idea considering that there were so many people here and there were so many gossips. She just greeted Wan Feng affectionately.

There are also taxis on the streets of Wu County, but they are slightly lower-end, three-wheeled vehicles.

That kind of vehicle has three wheels in front and a canvas canopy on the back bed, and can seat four or five people.

There were nine people in their group, so they rented two three-wheeled motorcycles.

Wan Feng, Luan Feng, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Zhiyuan and Han Guangjia took one car, and the rest took another.

Wuxian Railway Station is about five or six miles away from Zhang Xuan’s home, and it takes more than ten minutes to get there.

There has been no change in the Xingbei area, it's still the same.

When he arrived at Zhang Xuan's house, He Yanxia and Zhang Xuan's younger brother Zhang Chong were waiting at the door to greet him. What surprised Wan Feng was that He Yanfei was also there.

"Oh! Isn't this Aunt He? Why are you here too?"

He Yanfei curled her lips and said, "No wonder you called me Aunt He from the beginning. It turns out you have been thinking about seducing my niece for a long time."

"Stop talking nonsense. Why are you here? Are you divorced from He Xiao?"

He Yanfei had the urge to bite someone. Why was he so excited when he talked about divorce? Are you happy that I'm getting a divorce?

"My niece is getting married so of course I have to come and see her."

While Wan Feng and He Yanfei were arguing, Zhang Xuan had already introduced Luan Feng to He Yanxia.

It didn't feel awkward at all for Luan Feng to call her Aunt He.

Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and others did not enter the house. They went to the hotel where Yang Jianguo was staying, which was just opposite the Xingbei Store. Wan Feng seemed to have stayed there once before.

"What is He Xiao doing now?"

"He also helps me in the garment factory."

"So, you guys are still running the garment factory?"

This small garment factory has a long lifespan.

"Why not open it?"

"If you don't have any business, come to me!"

"I don't feel safe following a jerk like you."

"Bah! You say you can't live without a man, but why are you putting a urinal on my head? I didn't believe He Xiao when he said you couldn't live without a man for a day. I didn't expect you to be such a wretch."

"He Xiao said that?" He Yanfei's eyes widened.

"Of course, don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can go ask Brother Yang and the others, they all know."

He Yanfei was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Zhang Xuan smiled and patted Wan Feng: "Don't bully your aunt, aunt! You are really something. After all these years, you still can't remember what Wan Feng is like? You didn't even know he was sold."

He Yanfei gritted his teeth and said, "This guy always makes me angry. I don't know why, but I get angry when I see him smile, and I get even angrier when he speaks."

"Maybe our attributes are incompatible."

"That's possible. Let me find a fortune teller to do the math."

It was almost noon, and He Yanxia started to busy herself with making lunch. Luan Feng rolled up her sleeves and went up.

"Oh! I dare not let you cook, let Xuan'er do it. Yanfei, you chat with Xiaoluan for a while."

Luan Feng curled her lips and said, "Even pigs won't eat the food your Xuan'er cooks. I'll cook it."

Zhang Xuan slapped Luan Feng on the ground and said, "Don't talk bad about me in my house."

"The food you cook is not tasty to begin with, who would want to criticize you?"

The women in the house were laughing and giggling, while Wan Feng and Zhang Zhiyuan were chatting in the yard outside.

Some vegetables are also planted in Zhang Zhiyuan's yard, and the tomatoes in the two rows have already produced green fruits.

Zhang Chong was already a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and he had also learned to smoke.

"Quit smoking now while your addiction isn't too severe. You haven't learned anything good but you've only learned to smoke. Have you graduated yet?"

Zhang Chong obediently put out the cigarette in his hand: "One more year."

"Is it also at Jiangbian Vocational High School?"

Zhang Chong shook his head: "No! In Bei'an."

"The point?"

Being able to study in Bei'an high school means that you have been admitted to a key school.

"Um!"

"Great! You have great potential! Do you have the confidence to get into university?"

"almost."

"Okay! Do your best in the exams. After you graduate, I'll arrange a good job for you in my brother-in-law's company, provided you have outstanding grades."

It would be beyond Wan Feng's expectation if Zhang Chong could be admitted to university.
