Chapter 81
Jian Feng didn't expect to run into his boss's private affairs. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Should he just say nothing and pretend he didn't see it?
Kong Guorong laughed dryly twice and made small talk: "Look, this is a very difficult place to deal with."
Jian Feng could only smile awkwardly.
Kong Guorong sighed and handed a cigarette to Jian Feng. Jian Feng shook his head and said, "My girlfriend has a very good nose. She will come after me if she smells it later."
Jian Feng started smoking after being busy for a few days during the Spring Festival, but not often, only when he was driving at night. Every time he went home after smoking, he would rush to take a shower and brush his teeth. However, Jian Li's nose seemed to have a detector. No matter how clean he washed, the girl could smell it.
Jian Feng recalled his daughter's confident explanation of the dangers of smoking and consciously reduced the frequency of his smoking.
Kong Guorong had already put the cigarette in his mouth and was looking for a lighter, but after hearing this, he felt bored and took the cigarette out and put it back in the cigarette box.
He said bitterly: "It's better to have a good-looking girl. She's considerate."
Kong Guorong, who doesn't smoke, fumbled in his pocket and found a pack of Trident.
Something is better than nothing, Kong Guorong handed a piece to Jian Feng and also took down a piece himself.
"Women are so difficult to deal with." Kong Guorong stared at the chewing gum in his hand with the look of a veteran.
"Every day, she either criticizes me for smoking or drinks. She manages me like a son. She only knows how to ask me to make money and take care of the family, but she has no idea how to talk about business. How can you do business without drinking? If you don't drink, people will think you are not giving them face."
Kong Guorong complained bitterly, and Jian Feng listened silently.
Until the end, Kong Guorong put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Your sister-in-law knows about my affairs, but don't tell her that woman was here just now. If you tell her, she will ask me for money again."
A middle-aged couple, they have fought and quarreled, but neither of them wants to divorce.
So they lived in a muddle. When Kong Guorong was out having fun, his wife turned a blind eye to it. As long as there was no trouble, she would pretend not to see it. She just took care of the money and the children.
Kong Guorong did not really have much love for the woman just now. He just met her at the nightclub and they were in the "honeymoon period" in the past few months. Who knew that the woman had the intention to get married and really thought she could marry Kong Guorong.
When Kong Guorong was explaining to Jian Feng, he also cursed him.
"I don't know where she got the news from!"
His wife knew that Kong Guorong was not afraid yet, but when his son was present, Kong Guorong felt timid.
Jian Feng muffled his voice and said, "Brother Kong, I won't tell you, but you shouldn't always be like this."
Kong Guorong: "What's wrong with that? Xiao Jian, you haven't made any money yet. If you were rich and could still think like this, I would think you were a great man."
…
The two returned to their seats, and Jian Li followed shortly afterwards.
Wang Mengmei: "Where have you been? It took so long."
Jian Feng didn't say anything, but Kong Guorong laughed and said, "I'm addicted to cigarettes, so I asked your Jian Feng to smoke one with me, but he refused, saying that the lady is too strict."
Kong Guorong joked to his wife: "Look, I said I should have had another child. If I had a concubine, I might not have smoked or drunk alcohol by now."
Kong Guorong's wife rolled her eyes and said, "You are sick. Want another son? Three sons are enough for you to drink a pot of wine."
Everyone at the table laughed.
After the dinner, on the family's way back, Wang Mengmei couldn't stop praising Kong Guorong's wife.
"Sister Lin may be very patient. She even trades stocks on her own and knows how to keep track of the accounts."
Since Li Lijuan left, Wang Mengmei has had few people to socialize with except for her business. This time, she had a lively chat with Kong Guorong's wife Lin Hui, and the two of them even planned to go to see the decoration together.
Jian Feng didn't understand: "What decoration are you looking at?"
Wang Mengmei enviously said, "Sister Lin said that the child will be stressed out when he goes to high school. Their home is far from the school, so they are thinking of buying a house near the school and moving there. That way they can take care of Kong Fei nearby."
Before meeting Lin Hui, the richest people Wang Mengmei knew were some small leaders in the factory. At most, they were generous when they came to her restaurant for dinner.
But after chatting with Lin Hui, Wang Mengmei realized that for rich people, buying a house is as easy as buying a pair of clothes.
"Sister Lin said there's a furniture store in the city and she's planning to go there to order furniture. I want to go take a look too."
Wang Mengmei is already very satisfied with the new house she bought, which she only had the walls painted, the windows replaced, and the furniture replaced with new ones.
But Lin Hui counted on her fingers the floor, ceiling, plumbing and electrical wires, bathtub, open kitchen, enclosed balcony...
Wang Mengmei had never heard of it before and wanted to go and see it for herself.
Jian Feng knew it at a glance: "Do you also want to buy a house near the school?"
Wang Mengmei lowered her head. She knew her family couldn't afford it, but when she thought that Jian Li still had three years to live, she felt that she should buy one.
Lin Hui also advised her: "Houses around the school will definitely increase in price in the future. If you buy a house now and sell it when your child is admitted to university, you may even be able to make back the money your child has paid for his or her tuition fees in the past few years."
The more Wang Mengmei listened, the more excited she became.
"Let's not buy a big one, let's buy a small one. Jian Li can still go to school during her first and second years of high school. She will definitely be busy with her studies in her third year. If she can have a house near the school, she can save time."
Wang Mengmei added: "That's what Sister Lin said. She bought the house mainly for Kong Fei."
Wang Mengmei mentioned Kong Fei again, praising him for his politeness: "You and Xiaoli were both out, but Kong Fei took the initiative to peel shrimp for us."
"It peels quickly and well."
Jian Feng's mood became even worse: ...
"What's the point of peeling quickly? You'll get 18 points on the test!"
Wang Mengmei: "You, you said before that you want to see the good in children."
Jian Feng glanced at the lady sitting in the back seat and became even more harsh: "Of course when choosing a boy, you have to look at his academic performance. If he is not good at studying, it doesn't matter how good he is in other areas! If he is not good at studying, it proves that he has low IQ. Low IQ is hereditary!"
Wang Mengmei: "Hey, hey, hey, you..."
Jian Feng pedaled the bike so fast that Jian Li, who was dizzy from the back seat, was almost thrown off.
Jian Li opened her eyes dazedly: ...
******
Wang Mengmei brought Jian Li back to Wangjiazhuang, and Wang Yuedong's face was full of joy.
This time, not only Jian Li did well in the exam, but Wang Yunyun also did well.
"I originally wanted to apply to the No. 1 Middle School in the county as a backup, but later my score was high enough to get into the No. 2 Middle School in the city."
Originally, Wang Yuedong had not thought of sending his daughter to study in the city. First, the distance to school was farther, and second, the tuition in the city was much higher than that in the county.
But after seeing Qian Ping successfully studying in the city and getting admitted to university, Wang Yuedong's ideas changed.
Go to the market, you must go to the market!
Wang Yunyun lived up to expectations, achieved the best results, and was successfully admitted to the No. 2 Middle School in the city.
Wang Yuedong was so happy. Everyone in the village said that with Qian Ping as a good role model, his family would surely produce another top student.
Wang Yuedong, like Wang Mengmei, has a dream of studying. He has been so happy lately that even Wang Shuai is pleased.
Wang Shuai is in the third year of junior high school and has been sticking to Wang Yunyun in various ways recently.
Wang Yunyun went to continue her studies, leaving him alone.
Is his father going to beat him again?
In the happy atmosphere of the family, only General Wang felt like crying but had no tears.
If I had known earlier, I would have studied hard and I wouldn’t be a grade behind my sister now.
However, Zhao Chunlan saw her grandson like this and found Wang Yuedong and started talking nonsense.
"Let Yunyun wait for Shuaizi for a year. What's the harm in waiting for a year? By then, the two siblings can go to high school together, and she can take care of her brother."
Zhao Chunlan felt that she was particularly right after she finished speaking, but who knew that before Sun Cuifang could get angry, Wang Shuai got angry first.
"Grandma, stop making trouble! My sister worked so hard to get into this school, and you just say you don't want to go? Do you think this school is a small store that will open whenever you want to buy something?"
Zhao Chunlan never expected that it would be Wang Shuai who would refute her. She said aggrievedly: "Who am I doing this for? It's all for you! You little heartless person!"
Wang Shuai: "Then you should stop doing this for me."
After saying this, Wang Shuai was glared at by Wang Yuedong because Zhao Chunlan turned away and started crying.
But this was different from the previous times when she just cried and wailed. This time she was really heartbroken and sobbed and complained about her children and grandchildren's inconsideration.
"I am a widow who raised four of you children, and now you all despise me. If I had known this earlier, I would have gone with your father earlier to avoid suffering these years in vain."
Wang Shuai was so annoyed by her crying that he finally had to soften his attitude and try to comfort his grandmother.
Wang Yunyun went to the county town to return a book at that time. When she came back and heard about this incident, she found it funny but also a little touching.
The younger brother who used to be beaten at every turn is now finally acting like himself.
She took out all her notes from the third year of junior high school and started writing quickly.
After I finished writing it and reviewed it, I felt very satisfied.
When Wang Shuai saw the stack of white paper, he thought it was something good, but when he looked at the words again, he was stunned.
Wang Yunyun pointed at the contents above and said, "These are the review plans I set for you. Don't think I will ignore you when I go to school in the city. I will take a break every two weeks and I will come back to check with you."
Wang Shuai: ...
Take my sister away quickly!
After Jian Li came back, Wang Yuedong happily announced that he was going to hold a small graduation banquet for his two children.
The scale is definitely not as good as the one Wang Menglan held, but Wang Yuedong still plans to set up three or four tables for his family and a few relatives to have a good time.
Neither Wang Mengmei nor Wang Menglan had any objections, and Wang Menglan even asked someone to buy some abalone.
"I always hear people talking about abalone, but I don't know what it tastes like. Let's try it today."
Sun Cuifang was dumbfounded. How could she make this thing?
Fortunately, although Wang Mengmei had never done it before, she had heard of it from others, so she taught me how to clean the abalone.
"Just stew it in braised pork. Abalone braised pork."
Sun Cuifang is good at cooking braised pork, so Wang Mengmei gave the stove room to her.
Guests arrived one after another. The only ones who didn't come were Wang Yuexi and his wife.
Because Wang Chengcai still did not reach the undergraduate entrance line this year.
