Chapter 294: Chapter 179: Mr. Zheng’s Family
Fang Xiaoyue’s gift-giving is mainly due to Mr. Zheng’s daughter. However, giving gifts is never frowned upon, especially during the New Year. Giving a gift worth thousands of yuan to her former mentor can’t really be considered too extravagant.
When they arrived at Mr. Zheng’s home and rang the doorbell, Mr. Zheng’s old companion, Mr. Feng, came to open the door. Seeing the two, especially Chen Feng, he was very delighted. He warmly took Chen Feng’s hand and led him inside.
As for Fang Xiaoyue, he merely nodded at her, clearly not as enthusiastic as he was towards Chen Feng.
At home, there were only Mr. Zheng and Mr. Feng, the two elderly, which slightly disappointed Fang Xiaoyue, but Chen Feng felt a bit relieved.
Even though he had a good impression of Mr. Feng, the fact remained that she was an official, and he was a civilian. If she hadn’t helped him in the past, it would have been fine, but since she had, Chen Feng found it a bit daunting to interact with her on an equal footing now.
Mr. Zheng was also quite happy to see Chen Feng again. He inquired about his current situation with concern. Upon learning that Chen Feng now had a girlfriend, he was pleased for him. The last time Chen Feng visited, he had mentioned his divorce, which led to Mr. Zheng nagging him quite a bit, even wanting to introduce someone to him.
This time, hearing that he had a girlfriend, Mr. Zheng was relieved and inquired about her. Chen Feng said she had a good personality and was quite pretty. He then simply opened WeChat to show him a picture of Sun Xiaorui, which finally satisfied Mr. Zheng:
"This girl has a prosperous look. The most important thing is she has a good temper and gets along well with you. Now that you two are dating, you should treat her well. If you feel she’s the right one, you should consider settling down soon. You’re not getting any younger, and you shouldn’t delay marriage any further."
Chen Feng agreed, "Yes. I will see how it goes. If it’s right, I can consider remarrying."
Mr. Zheng emphasized, "The most important thing is to have a child. At your age, not having a child will lead to gossip."
Chen Feng could only grin awkwardly.
Mr. Zheng’s spirit seemed much better than before, speaking more fluently than the last time Chen Feng visited. They talked for almost half an hour without him getting tired.
During this time, Fang Xiaoyue barely had a chance to join in the conversation. Only when Chen Feng saw her sitting a little awkwardly on the side did he draw her into the conversation, allowing her to say a few words.
Although Fang Xiaoyue was also a student of Mr. Zheng, she seemed not very welcome. However, the elderly couple didn’t treat her badly, just that their attitude towards her was vastly different compared to Chen Feng.
Towards the end, Chen Feng took out the gifts he brought for Mr. Zheng: devices for measuring blood pressure and blood sugar. He demonstrated step-by-step according to the instructions, teaching Mr. Zheng and his companion how to use them.
The old couple happily learned and used the devices with Chen Feng.
They already had a blood pressure monitor at home, but it wasn’t as precise as the one Chen Feng brought. Moreover, they didn’t yet have a blood sugar monitor.
As for the health pot, since they already had one and were using it, Mr. Zheng asked him to take it back. Without being overly polite, Chen Feng accepted the suggestion, thinking he could bring it back for his parents to use.
Chen Feng’s straightforward attitude greatly pleased Mr. Zheng and his wife.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoyue also told the elderly couple about the gifts she brought.
Admittedly, the antler, ginseng, and bird’s nest she brought were more valuable than Chen Feng’s gifts. However, after a couple of polite words, the elderly couple didn’t say much more, their attitude somewhat distant.
This left Fang Xiaoyue, who had spent big money, feeling helpless and frustrated. If she had known they preferred Chen Feng’s kind of gifts, she wouldn’t have wasted her money.
Just as Chen Feng was about to bid farewell, there was a commotion at the door. It was Feng Xiaoying and her family, with two people behind carrying in a massage chair.
Seeing this, Chen Feng and Fang Xiaoyue quickly went up to greet them.
Seeing Chen Feng there, Feng Xiaoying and her husband were also delighted, warmly responding to him. They introduced their daughter, Cai Xuetong, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a ponytail, a pretty face, and a lively personality.
At her parents’ request, she called Chen Feng "Brother Chen," then happily ran to her grandma, Mr. Zheng, chatting joyfully with her.
Mr. Zheng was also very happy to see his granddaughter, holding her hand with a big smile on his face.
The two staff responsible for delivery quickly set up the electric massage chair. Chen Feng, along with Mr. Zheng’s son-in-law, helped Mr. Zheng get out of bed and sit on the massage chair, introducing and operating it as per the instructions so the elderly couple could learn.
After the demonstration, the elderly couple both tried it out and seemed quite satisfied.
Mr. Feng, unusually, praised his daughter, making Feng Xiaoying beam with joy and say:
"I got inspired by the electric foot bath Chen Feng gave last time. After some research and finally having some free time these days, I compared several options and bought this massage chair for mom."
Mr. Zheng happily said, "I should thank my student too. Since using the electric foot bath, I’ve felt better, and my sleep has improved a lot. Xiaoying, using that as inspiration to get this massage chair for mom, I am very satisfied. It might even help with mom’s recovery."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "This will definitely help. The electric foot bath only massages the feet, whereas this massage chair massages the whole body, which is great for your recovery. Maybe next time I visit, you’ll be up and walking on your own."
"Haha, thank you for your kind words. I do hope to recover soon. Otherwise, being either bedridden or in a wheelchair all day isn’t just a burden to my spouse and children; it also makes life less meaningful."
"Mom, what are you saying? How can it be a burden?" Feng Xiaoying said emotionally, "As long as you’re alive, our family is complete. If you were not here, do you know how sad dad and I would be?"
"And there’s me too," Cai Xuetong chimed in, "Grandma, you mustn’t say such discouraging words. It’s just that your legs aren’t as nimble now. I believe you’ll recover quickly. When I get into college, you’ll have to come to my celebration feast yourself."
Mr. Zheng was very comforted and said, "Alright alright, as long as you get into a prestigious university, your grandma will be up and about."
Cai Xuetong immediately seemed less confident and said, "A top university might be challenging, but getting into a first-tier one should be no problem."
"Do you think you have a shot at East Sea University?" Mr. Feng asked.
Cai Xuetong stuck out her tongue and admitted, "I’m not really sure about that."
Mr. Zheng shook her head, "You’re still too scatterbrained, not focused enough. But if you’re confident about a first-tier university, that’s still good. Both my students here seem to have graduated from first-tier, right? Chen Feng is from East Sea Institute of Technology, a 985 school, second only to East Sea University in our province. Xiao Yue, what university did you graduate from?"
