Chapter 456 Summer is Coming
"Mom, I got the water back."
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and boil some hot water to wash the pot. Your eldest and second aunts will be here this afternoon. After you wash the pot, hurry up and cook. Don't waste time!"
Mother Feng said this impatiently and continued to pick vegetables.
Feng Niannian wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mom, can you let Xiaozhi help me boil the pot? I also have to cut vegetables and so on. I can't handle it alone..."
"Impossible! Your brother is going to take the college entrance exam soon. He needs to review now. How can he have so much free time to help you do this?"
"But... Xiaozhi is playing games right now. Let him help me boil the pot. It will only take 20 minutes. It won't take too long."
Mother Feng got angry when she heard this: "Your brother is combining work and rest. Can his brain handle studying all the time? Why do you have so many excuses when I ask you to wash the pot and cook?"
"But......"
"Don't bother talking nonsense to me, if you had the time you could have boiled the water long ago!
Let me tell you, your second aunt knows a lot of good teachers in the city. This time you have to take good care of your second aunt and her family so that it will be convenient for her to find a good tutor for Xiaozhi after the New Year.
If you neglect them today, you won’t have to go to school after the New Year and just stay at home and do farm work for me! Day after day, your father and I work so hard for this family. As an older sister, you don’t care about the family and your brother at all! ”
Feng Niannian felt very aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and went into the kitchen silently.
Feng Zhi, who was playing games nearby, moved his butt, changed his posture and continued playing the game.
Feng Niannian was alone in the kitchen, busy adding firewood to the stove while washing her hands and continuing to cut vegetables.
She couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Why don’t I think about my family and my younger brother?
If she really didn't care about her family, why would she give away all her bonuses unconditionally?
If she really didn't care about her family, how could she risk being scolded by Xia Tian and put down her work to continue helping with housework?
Feng Niannian once thought that her mother looked down on her because she thought it was impossible for her to make money.
After Feng Niannian made money with Xia Tian, she thought that this trip home for the New Year would change her mother's opinion of her, but she didn't expect to be greeted with such a suffocating attitude.
Half an hour later.
Feng Niannian heard some noisy noise coming from the front yard. She wiped away her tears and tried to make herself look more presentable.
She knew that it must be her eldest and second aunts who had come.
But in a trance, Feng Niannian seemed to hear the familiar voice of Xia Tian.
"Hey, happy new year, uncle and aunt. I'm Feng Niannian's colleague. My name is Xia Tian. You can just call me Xiao Xia."
"I have some things to deal with in Hanzhong recently. I knew Feng Niannian's home was nearby, so I bought some gifts and came to see you..."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. These are for you and your uncle... I heard that Feng Niannian and her younger brother are preparing for the college entrance examination this year, so I bought some oral liquid. This is very effective. I drank this stuff to stay up late to do homework and read books, and I was very energetic the next day!"
Feng Niannian trembled all over, dropped the firewood in her hand and ran to the front yard.
Sure enough, she saw Xia Tian smiling and talking with her parents.
Xia Tian was holding a lot of gifts in her hands.
"Hey, now that you're here, why are you bringing any gifts...Xiao Xia, come in and sit down."
Feng's mother said this with a smile. Although she said she was reluctant, her hands were not idle. She immediately took the gift that Xia Tian brought.
Seeing Feng Niannian, Xia Tian was slightly startled, then smiled and waved at her: "Hey, Secretary Feng, long time no see, Happy New Year!"
Feng Niannian walked up to Xia Tian in a daze. After a long pause, she spoke dully, "Old..."
However, before he could finish his words, Xia Tian interrupted him: "Don't call me Old Xia. I'm only 19 years old this year. It's not nice to always call me Old Xia."
Xia Tian immediately winked at her and said in a low voice, "Don't call me boss. I'll tell your family that I'm your colleague."
“Oh, oh…”
Feng Niannian was still a little dazed and responded blankly.
Mother and father Feng were very happy about Xia Tian's sudden visit.
Of course, they were happy because they bought a lot of expensive gifts in the summer.
"Xiao Xia, what does our Nian Nian do in your company?"
Feng's mother put down the gift and asked Xia Tian with a smile.
"Our company is a milk tea brand. It is very popular in Bei'an and the market has expanded outside the province. It won't be long before we will sponsor some variety shows. Our boss has invested 40 to 50 million yuan.
Oh yes, to be precise, I am Nian Nian's subordinate in the company. She is our boss's secretary, and her position is several levels higher than mine. I only dare to call her by her name in private. When I see her at work, I have to call her Secretary Feng! ”
Xia Tian explained to Feng's mother with a faint smile on his face.
When Feng's mother heard this, she was very surprised.
But Feng Zhi, who was playing games, put away his phone and pointed at the car outside the door in confusion: "If you are my sister's subordinate, why are you driving a Mercedes-Benz E-Class? As far as I know, that car costs more than 500,000, right?"
When she heard that the car Xia Tian drove cost five hundred thousand, Feng's mother's eyes widened.
However, Xia Tian patiently explained: "That car... that belongs to our boss. I have work to do here, and the boss specially lent it to me. But don't be too surprised. Secretary Feng's annual salary is enough to buy one directly. Didn't Secretary Feng tell you?"
Feng's mother was shocked.
Is my daughter really making a lot of money out there?
Is she kidding? !
"This... Nian Nian told us, but I haven't had the chance to tell her brother and father yet."
"Oh, no wonder..."
After that, Xia Tian said, "Uncle and aunt, now that the gifts have been delivered and the New Year greetings are over, I will leave first."
After a pause, he continued, "Oh, by the way, Auntie, our boss told Secretary Feng not to have too much fun during the New Year. She should handle necessary work when it's time. Please remember to supervise her, otherwise the boss will deduct her salary."
"Oh, I know, I know... Usually I don't let her do any housework at home, but this kid insisted on helping me with housework. Don't worry, go back and tell your boss that Nian Nian will definitely complete the work on time from now on, but don't deduct her salary."
"Okay, okay. Goodbye, uncle and aunt. Goodbye, brother."
Xia Tian turned and walked out the door.
Mother Feng saw Feng Niannian and pushed him: "Child, you didn't say a word when your colleague came. He's about to leave, why don't you go and see him off?"
"Mom, the pot is still burning..."
"Why are you still caring about this at this time? Xiaozhi, go and keep an eye on it, your sister has something to do!"
Feng Zhi said "Oh" and walked into the kitchen lazily.
After a moment of hesitation, Feng Niannian quickly caught up with Xia Tian.
