That night, Ji Feng and the others rested at second uncle Xiao Guoqing’s house.
However, Ji Feng did not rush off to bed, but waited until his mother had finished washing up and returned.
When Xiao Su Mei saw her son waiting at the door, she couldn’t help shaking her head and smiling, asking, “Little Feng, why aren’t you going to bed yet, what are you doing here?”
Ji Feng touched his nose and said, “So what …… mum, how are you going to talk to grandparents when you go to see them tomorrow?”
Xiao Su Mei said, “I knew it, you must be waiting here for this matter.”
She had raised Ji Feng since he was a child, and she knew what he wanted when he opened his mouth.
The first time I saw you, I knew you’d be here.
“Care a little ……”
Xiao Su Mei hummed, how could she not guess what Ji Feng wanted? She couldn’t help but ask: “Then how do you think, mum should talk to them?”
The first thing you need to do is to talk about family matters. You and grandparents haven’t seen each other for a while, so you must miss them too.
Xiao Soumei asked, “What about other than chatting about family matters?”
“Other than that …… then I don’t know.” Ji Feng shook his head and said.
“Brat!”
Xiao Su Mei then couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “Are you worried that mum will make blind promises to them when she goes back?”
Ji Feng laughed heatedly and didn’t say anything, sort of acquiescing.
In fact, Ji Feng was really worried that when mum saw those brothers and sisters after arriving at Xiao Jia Zhuang, and then saw grandmother wipe her tears, her heart would be soft and promise everything, that would be troublesome.
If those are normal relatives, not to mention whether they are capable or not, even if they are not capable, Ji Feng is happy to arrange a good job for them, even if it is to give them the agency of Kang Yuan slimming powder or 3D TV, there is no problem.
It is only right to take care of one’s relatives, who makes China itself a humane society?
But the problem is, how many of these so-called relatives treat them with sincerity and truly treat them as family, just like other people’s relatives?
The lessons and impressions given to Ji Feng from the past were too deep, and although he had stopped counting and figured it out, deep down he really couldn’t treat them as family!
Ji Feng could forgive his grandparents, that was because they were his mother’s parents, this was an unchangeable fact, he didn’t want to make his mother sad, and he could also understand that feeling of shame that comes from being a parent who sees that his daughter has had a child with some man.
I’m afraid that if it were anyone else, they’d be angry and lose face. It’s just that the way one treats one’s daughter and grandson when things are settled must vary from person to person, because not everyone puts face above life like Grandpa, and not everyone is as cold-hearted as he is!
But exasperation was a certainty.
So Ji Feng was able to understand their two elders after thinking differently, but several other aunts and uncles, Ji Feng really …… did not know what to say to describe it.
At least up to now, Ji Feng if he had a choice, definitely not willing to get involved with them in any way!
Seeing her son’s appearance, how could Xiao Sumei not know what her son was thinking, and she couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, also very helpless. Those siblings were really too unlikeable, but ……
“Mom, don’t be upset, in fact, I don’t let you promise them, on the other hand, it’s for their own good.” Ji Feng said.
“You brat, doing thought work for mum?” Xiao Su Mei said.
Ji Feng laughed, “I’m telling the truth, mum, you sit down first.”
He helped Xiao Sumei to sit down before saying, “Mom, let’s not talk about anything else, just from the perspective of an onlooker, my great uncle and others, are they really career material? Even if I give them part of the business of the Tengfei Group, will they really be able to do a good job?”
Xiao Su Mei was dumbfounded, she was hard pressed to know what to say to these questions from her son.
Ji Feng said, “Mom, you also heard second uncle say that several other families are doing okay, that means it’s not hard, I think this kind of life is the best for them now instead, if we really give them a fortune, I’m afraid it will still harm them, don’t you think?”
Xiao Su Mei sighed lightly, “Mom knows what you mean, it’s getting late, go get some rest.”
Ji Feng gave an eep.
The next day when they got up early, second aunt had already made breakfast, after eating, the group drove to the Xiao family estate.
Because Xiao Guoqing had already called several other siblings yesterday, so when Ji Feng and his group arrived at the Xiao Family Village, they saw a young man standing at the entrance of the village waiting, and as soon as he saw the car coming he immediately greeted him and greeted him with a smile.
“Second uncle, second aunt, little aunt …… this is cousin Ji Feng, right?”
“Yuan gong, where is your father and them?” Xiao Guoqing asked as he sat in the car.
“They’re all at grandma’s house.” The young man who was called Yuan Gou said, “Knowing that you were coming, I purposely waited here.”
Xiao Guoqing said, “Su Mei, you don’t know him yet, this is big brother’s child, called Yuan Gou.”
Xiao Su Mei was stunned, “This is Yuan Gong? He’s grown so much?”
Xiao Yuanzhu immediately called out to his little aunt and smiled, “I haven’t seen him for many years, of course my little aunt doesn’t recognise me.”
Xiao Su Mei hurriedly said, “Don’t stand down there, hurry up and come up, this child, he has really grown up in a flash, he doesn’t even recognize me ……”
Xiao Yuanzhi is not polite, pull open the car door and sat up, very enthusiastic and Xiao Su Mei on chatting up.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
However, Ji Feng did not move a muscle, it seems that among those children who bullied him back then, there was this first cousin, but after all, so many years had pa*sed, Ji Feng was right to forget about the past.
On the way, Xiao Yuanzhi also said a few words to Ji Feng from time to time, and Ji Feng only responded politely, without the slightest arrogance, let alone indifference, and did a good job of being polite.
But, it was only a courtesy!
Just as Xiao Yuan Gao came to greet him, there were people pa*sing by from time to time on the road, and when they saw that it was Xiao Su Mei who had returned, they couldn’t help but reveal envious expressions.
Since the last incident, everyone in the entire Xiao family knew that Xiao Su Mei had made great achievements outside the home, and that Xiao Guoqing was now doing quite well in the county, so those who had originally dared to ridicule and sarcasm the old Xiao family to their faces could now only say a few sour words behind their backs, but they did not dare to go too far.
They still remember the ruthlessness of the bodyguards Xiao Su Mei brought with her last time.
The Xiao family estate is very small, and it only took a few minutes to drive from the village entrance to the old lady’s house. When several people got out of the car, they realized that there were quite a few people in the courtyard, and when Ji Feng took a glance, he found that all the people he had seen on his last visit were there, and even more young people and children, probably the children of several families.
Of course, Ji Feng also saw a drunken looking third uncle, Xiao Guoqiang, who never leaves the house without a drink, and was indeed a bit high on alcohol again.
Xiao Sumei and Ji Feng’s arrival undoubtedly added to the lively atmosphere in the courtyard, regardless of what other people thought, but at least the old lady was genuinely happy, pulling her youngest daughter to shush and ask questions, and pulling Ji Feng to ask a lot of questions.
As for the old man who was sitting in the hall next to the eight immortals table, he did not come out.
After exchanging pleasantries, a half-grown boy brought out stools from the house and asked Xiao Sumei and the others to sit down, as there were trees in the yard anyway and the weather was not hot in the morning, but cool.
Xiao Sumei wanted to go to the hall to see her father, but the old lady pulled her away.
“Leave that old man alone, he thinks he’s right about everything, pulling a face for whoever he wants to see!” The old lady huffed, “If he doesn’t come out, you should ignore him, he still doesn’t know he’s wrong, he’s lived a long life for nothing!”
If it wasn’t for this old man, you wouldn’t have suffered so much all these years. In the end, it’s a good thing you’re doing well, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to go to my coffin.”
“Mother, the past is in the past, so don’t mention it!” Xiao Su Mei hastened to comfort her.
“Yes, Mother, Su Mei is right, the past is in the past, so why mention it?” The others also persuaded one after another.
Ji Feng looked on coldly, the corners of his mouth with a smile if anything, these people’s persuasion was genuine, but I’m afraid it wasn’t because they were worried about the old lady being sad, but that going over old scores would turn their mother’s and their own hearts against them, right?
The old lady only complained a couple of times under the persuasion of the people, and then she stopped talking, but then she looked at the old man in the hall, but he stood up and turned around and went to the inner room, thinking that he couldn’t listen anymore, knowing that he was in the wrong, but he couldn’t pull his face down and come out, so he had to go to the inner room.
Ji Feng pretended not to see, just leisurely took out a cigarette and smoked, anyway, he came today only to accompany his mother to visit relatives, but to say that relatives, here in addition to second uncle, he really do not know which relatives ……
The first time I came here, it was a far cry from the first time I came here, so I’m afraid I don’t believe them if I say they don’t have an agenda.
As expected, as we chatted, some people talked about life, and then some people began to complain about the hard times of their own families, and explicitly and implicitly said that the Lao Er family’s days were better, and so on.
“Su Mei, are you thirsty? Just in time, I have home-made canned crispy pears at home, I’ll take you to try them?” Finally, the wife of the eldest Xiao Guoliang was the first to sit down.
