“Mum, Dad, I am back.”
“It is almost Lunar New Year, and you just come back.” Zhang Muhua chided Feng Yu.
“Mum, look at his. I had bought a scarf from Moscow for you.” Feng Yu took out the presents he prepared.
“It is only a scarf. You think I have never seen a scarf before?”
“This is not an ordinary scarf. Russia President’s wife have the same scarf! This is a limited edition. Only 10,000 scarfs are produced.”
Zhang Muhua immediately stood up from the sofa and grabbed the scarf from Feng Yu: “Really? Let me see!”
Zhang Muhua wore the scarf and look at herself in the mirror. She happily asked: “Old Feng, come and see. Do I look good with this scarf?”
Feng Xingtai replied without raising his head: “It is only a scarf. Didn’t you say that you want to teach him a lesson when he comes back?”
“Since when did I say that? Who dares to bully my son? Son, are you hungry? I will go and cook now. What do you want to eat?”
“I like whatever you cook.” The perfect answer. Feng Yu gave himself full marks!
“Dad, this cigarette is from Moscow. I had also bought a pair of army boots. Only army officers can wear. Look, isn’t it beautiful?”
“You think I will wear boots?” Feng Xingtai rolled his eyes, but he still accepts the gifts. Although he does not wear boots, he can always keep the boots at home for display. The cigarettes must still be smoked.
Feng Yu happily walk over to his father and massaged his shoulders: “Dad, are you tired this period of time?”
“What’s there to be tired of? That manager you hired had done all my work. Now, I have nothing to do. I can retire anytime.” Feng Xingtai was not pleased. He felt useless in the company.
“Dad, I am worried that you will be tired. Why don’t you manage the factory in the district yourself? If you got nothing to do, you could play some mah-jong with your friends.”
“Hrmph! I don’t like to play mah-jong.” Feng Xingtai replied.
At this time, Zhang Muhua stuck her head out from the kitchen and said: “Last week, your dad played mah-jong with 10 cents stakes, and he lost more than 100 RMB. He is still feeling sore over this.”
Feng Yu: “……” How can you lose over 100 RMB with 10 cents stakes?
“Dad, then what do you want to play? Why not I bring both you and mum overseas for a holiday after the New Year?” Feng Yu suggested.
“It is boring. I want to take care of children.”
“Then move over to Bing City. My little nephew is now fun to play with.” Feng Yu was full of smiles when he thought about Li Ruxing.
“That kid’s surname is Li, not Feng!” Feng Xingtai stared at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu took 2 steps back: “Dad, what do you mean? Are you and mum going to give me a younger brother?”
“Get lost! I am talking about you!” Feng Xingtai threw the book he was reading at Feng Yu.
“Ah? Me? Dad, stop joking.” Feng Yu replied.
“What joking? I am talking to you seriously. Is that girl called Li Na? She is staying at the 2nd street in the east? I think that girl is quite good. When are the both of you getting married? When will you all have kids?”
Feng Yu was going crazy. What marriage and kids?
“Dad, what are you talking about? I am still schooling, and I am only 20! What marriage and kids are you talking about?”
Zhang Muhua sticks her head out from the kitchen again: “What your father says is right. I also like that girl. She is studying in Teaching University and will be a teacher in the future. That’s good.”
“Mum, I am still schooling. Wait, did the both of you went to talk to her parents?” Feng Yu’s eyes opened wide.
“No. But you should also know how big the district is. I had met her father a few times and had chatted for a while over some drinks.” Feng Xingtai casually said.
“I think the both of you should get married first. Being married will also not affect your studies. Your primary school teacher Mr. Xu also got married first before he started his university studies. The both of them were still happily married now.” Zhang Muhua said while cooking at the same time.
“That’s right. It is fine even if both of you have children. You can let your mum, and I look after your child while both of you continue with your studies. If not, you can have kids after the both of you graduated. I am fine with both ways.”
Feng Yu covered his eyes with his hands. I am only 20 years’ old, and I am being rushed to get married? Who else in this world gets to face such a situation?
“Dad, Mum, this will affect our studies. Mr. Xu you mentioned happened more than a decade ago. Now, who gets married while studying at the university? The University will also not issue the recommendation letter.”
Feng Yu felt he was smart to think of such excuses. In this era, all marriages needed the recommendation letter from the unit. Without a group, one must apply for the message from the district office.
“How can there be no recommendation letter? Didn’t your father say that you have donated a Tai Hua building to your university? We have donated so much money, why would the school not issue the letter?” Zhang Muhua angrily replied.
“Mum, Dad, even if my school issued the letter, her school will also not issue the letter. Furthermore, the government is not encouraging their officers getting married early. Their promotions will be affected if they got married young. If you do not believe me, you can ask Uncle Wen.”
Feng Yu thought of another excuse, and it was a valid excuse. Feng Yu knew that his parents still wish for him to enter the government and be an official.
Being a businessman does not sound as prestigious as being a government official. It was better to be a government official. Furthermore, their family had enough money.
“Ah, getting married early will affect the career progression?”
“That’s right. Just look at Mr. Xu. How old is he now and how many years had he worked in that school? Why was he not promoted?”
“This…… Old Feng, what should we do?” Zhang Muhua looked at her husband.
“Mum…… Your food is getting burnt!” Feng Yu shouted. He needs to change the topic fast.
Feng Xingtai was rubbing his chin and deep in thoughts. It was a pity to not get such a good daughter-in-law like Li Na now. But his son was so capable, and this future daughter-in-law should not be able to escape from him.
“Tell dad the truth. Which stage have you and that girl reached?”
“Dad…… Why are you asking this for?” Feng Yu was at a loss of words.
During lunch, Feng Yu ate very fast and said that he was going over to Wen Dongjun’s house. After Feng Yu left, Zhang Muhua moved closer to Feng Xingtai: “Have you asked? Which stage is their relationship?”
“He did not answer, but from the way he acts, he must have done everything with that girl. This daughter-in-law cannot escape from him.”
“What if they are not careful and she got pregnant?”
“Huh? Get married. This is even better. He will have no excuse to not get married, and we can also have our own grandchildren.”
“That’s right. Look at Liu Dazhuang’s son. His son is only one year older than Feng Yu, and his child can call him grandpa already!”
Feng Yu look up at the skies. Men will always have worries out from nowhere.
