After the divorce, I started to transfer

Friday came quickly.

That afternoon, Chen Feng simply packed his luggage and waited for Wu Mengting to get off work.

This time when he returned to his hometown, Chen Feng did not inform his family in advance, and he didn't even think about going back to his hometown specifically.

He occasionally contacts his parents and knows that they are all doing well, so there is no point in going back. Instead, he may face being forced to get married.

In addition, he didn't want to deal with relatives, friends, classmates or fellow villagers in his hometown, so he could save a lot of trouble by not going back.

But he knew that Wu Mengting would definitely mention it to his parents when he returned to Lu City this time, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to go back to Lin Nan's hometown on the way.

Before five o'clock, Chen Feng had eaten something early. After five o'clock, Chen Feng received a message from Wu Mengting and drove back to Lu City.

Almost an hour later, the two met smoothly at a service station on the highway.

Chen Feng went to the toilet first, then bought two bottles of purified water. Then he came back to the parking lot and handed one to Wu Mengting.

"Are all my gifts ready? What did you buy?"

Chen Feng asked with a little curiosity.

Wu Mengting answered casually: "They are all health products, with a total value of tens of thousands of yuan. It's enough."

Chen Feng hesitated and asked, "Isn't it a little cheaper?"

Wu Mengting said, "You are just my boyfriend now, and I paid for this gift. A few thousand yuan is enough. My dad won't mind it."

Chen Feng was a little disapproving when he heard her words. It was just a gift of such a small value. Based on his understanding of her father, her father would definitely be dissatisfied.

Perhaps guessing Chen Feng's thoughts, Wu Mengting added: "Don't worry, my dad really won't mind. During the Chinese New Year last year, I transferred 50 red envelopes to him and my mom in our names, a total of one million. What else can they say?"

Chen Feng didn't know about this, but when he heard about it, he couldn't help but give Wu Mengting a thumbs up.

Wu Mengting only earned a few tens of millions last year, and she was willing to give one million to her parents, which was already considered very filial.

After her parents received the money, of course they would not say anything to her anymore, including the matter of forcing her to get married. I think as long as Wu Mengting doesn't let them talk nonsense, they will not say it anymore.

"Why do you want to give it to them separately? Can't you transfer one million to your father or mother at once?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Wu Mengting smiled and said, "It will definitely not work if I transfer it to just one of them. The other one will say something bad about me. It will be fine if I transfer 50 to each of them. At least I won't be criticized by them. However, my dad's will most likely be handed over to my mom."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. With so much money, your father will definitely not want to give it all to your mother."

"I don't care about that. It's their freedom to distribute it however they want."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You are really careless. If your parents quarrel over this and it affects their relationship, it will be your responsibility."

Wu Mengting said indifferently: "If their relationship is affected by a conflict over this little money, then let it be affected."

Chen Feng was speechless.

It can be seen that Wu Mengting does not have a deep relationship with her parents, or a deep emotional bond.

This may be related to the fact that Wu Mengting has been studying in boarding school since she was young. After all, she cannot see her parents every day. If they meet less often, the relationship will naturally not be deep.

In addition, since I have lived independently since I was young, I have become more independent as I grow up, and of course I am not as dependent on my family or parents.

Wu Mengting took a sip of water and said to Chen Feng: "Okay, let's go."

Chen Feng agreed and went back to his car.

After about three hours on the road, their car successfully arrived in the city of Lu City and arrived at the home of Wu Mengting's parents.

"You are finally here, come in quickly."

Mr. and Mrs. Wu were waiting at the gate early. When they saw Chen Feng and Wu Mengting get out of the car, they hurried over to greet them.

Both of them were very enthusiastic and had warm smiles on their faces.

After the two entered the house, Aunt Wu was busy pouring tea for them, bringing them snacks, and asking them if they were hungry and whether she wanted them to cook something to eat.

Of course Chen Feng said he was not hungry, but Wu Mengting didn't hesitate to ask her mother to cook her a bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles.

Her mother agreed and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Her father continued to stay in the living room with her, with a friendly smile on his face, and said to Chen Feng politely: "Ah Feng, thank you for coming back in your busy schedule to wish me a happy birthday."

"Uncle, you're too polite. I'm Mengting's boyfriend. I'll definitely come back to congratulate you on your 50th birthday. By the way, the gift is still in the car. I'll go get it now."

Having said that, Chen Feng stood up and went to get the gift.

Father Wu immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No, no, you should sit down and rest first. You must be very tired after driving for such a long time. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

Wu Mengting next to her said, "This time, Chen Feng and I bought your gift together. It cost us nearly 12,000 yuan in total. Please don't despise it."

"How could that be?" Father Wu said with dissatisfaction, "Twelve thousand is already a lot. You guys are really stupid. Why did you buy such an expensive gift? We don't need anything at home."

Wu Mengting raised her eyebrows at Chen Feng with a hint of pride, and then said to her father, "You must have a gift for your 50th birthday. I will make your 60th birthday more grand. At least buy you a big gold chain."

"No thanks, your dad doesn't like those big gold chains that look like dog chains. They make you look like a nouveau riche, which is totally inconsistent with your dad's temperament."

Chen Feng suggested: "Then buy a watch, Patek Philippe or Rolex will do."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting couldn't help but give Chen Feng a blank look.

When Father Wu heard this, his eyes lit up and he was obviously tempted, but he still smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it, those watches are too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands or even millions. It's not necessary."

Wu Mengting immediately said, "Yes, these famous watches are all overpriced. Besides, Dad, they don't match your temperament. If you wear them outside, people will definitely think you are wearing fakes."

When Father Wu heard this, he was a little unhappy: "Why is my temperament not suitable for wearing a famous watch?"

Wu Mengting said, "You are a cadre of a state-owned enterprise after all. Is it appropriate for you to wear such an expensive watch?"

Father Wu thought about it and nodded, "That's true. Previously, a leader in our unit was reported for wearing an Hermès belt. He was criticized by his superiors and had to write an inspection report and an internal notice was issued."

Wu Mengting suggested: "Why don't you just retire early?" Dad Wu immediately shook his head: "That won't work. I've been working for more than 20 years. If I work for a few more years, I can retire normally and get a lot more pension."

"How much pension will you have when you retire in a few years? It's better to retire a few years earlier and do something you like. Just like my mother, she is doing well running a dance training class now."

Father Wu thought for a moment before saying, "If I retire normally in a few years, based on my current level, my monthly pension will be around 6,000 yuan. If I move up one level, it will be 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. If I retire now, I can only get around 5,000 yuan at most, which is at least 1,000 yuan less. Besides, if I retire now, I won't be able to find anything else to do all of a sudden."

"You don't have much to do at work now, you slack off every day. And don't you complain about those people in the company every day, saying that they are flattering and scheming, and are very hypocritical? It would be better for you to just retire and have some peace and quiet. If you have nothing to do for the time being, go help your mother, and go traveling with her when you have time. Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, I will give you one million every year in the future. After a few years, your pension will be enough."

Father Wu looked at Chen Feng somewhat awkwardly when he heard this. Seeing that Chen Feng looked calm, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "I know you are filial, but I have my hands and feet and I am still healthy. There is really no need for me to retire early."

Seeing this, Wu Mengting stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Okay, you can look at this matter yourself. If you are really unhappy in the company, it is better to retire early to avoid being bullied."

"Don't worry, I've worked in this company for more than 20 years, and no one has ever made me angry."

At this point, Father Wu changed the subject and asked, "By the way, last time you said that your new TV series was almost finished. When will it be released?"

"It's coming soon. We can watch it on Donghai TV as early as May 1st."

"Well, Tingting, you are really talented. I never thought you would become a great writer. Haha, you may have inherited my genes. Your father has loved writing since he was a child, and his composition was praised by the teacher in elementary school. Your mother has no literary talent. When she wrote written reports and self-introductions at work, I wrote them for her."

Wu Mengting ignored his words and asked, "Will we have the banquet at home tomorrow, or at the hotel?"

Father Wu said, "I originally planned to set it up at home, after all, the guests we invited were all family members, but your mother thought the house was too small and messy, so she said we should set it up at a hotel. I just let her do it."

Wu Mengting nodded and said, "Our house is a little small, and it would be really messy if we set up a banquet. Especially since my uncle and aunt will bring their children over, right?"

Father Wu nodded: "Yes, your eldest brother's two children, your second brother's one child, and your cousin's two children should all be here."

Wu Mengting frowned when she heard this and said nothing.

Her father has three siblings, her uncle is the oldest, her aunt is the second, and her father is the youngest.

In fact, in the past few years, her family had not had much contact with her uncle and aunt, and she was rarely taken to visit these two relatives.

The reasons are complicated, but the most important one is that her deceased grandmother passed on her position in the state-owned enterprise to her father, the youngest son. This is commonly known as a "dumping" and is a direct hereditary position. This was very common in state-owned enterprises in the past.

Her grandfather died when her father was in his teens. Her grandmother raised three children with great difficulty. When she retired, she left her job in a state-owned enterprise to her youngest son.

This state-owned enterprise is a good one. It was one of the best in the city back then. The treatment and benefits are better than those of banks. Even today, the company's performance is still better than some other companies.

Her grandmother's somewhat biased decision naturally caused dissatisfaction among her uncle and aunt.

When her grandmother was alive, the three siblings were at least harmonious on the surface, but as soon as her grandmother passed away, the three siblings gradually became estranged.

Especially the eldest uncle who was full of resentment. He had almost cut off ties with her family in the past few years. It was not until his eldest son was getting married that he sent an invitation to her father after being persuaded by others.

The two families began to interact again, but that was only a few years ago, so they were certainly not very close.

Especially Wu Mengting's generation, she didn't know her two cousins ​​very well, and she had never met them when she was a child. A few years ago, they started to see each other again, but it was just a courtesy, not to the point of frequent visits.

In addition, Wu Mengting had been studying in a boarding school and moved to another place after college, so she only had the opportunity to meet her uncle's family during the Chinese New Year every year.

The situation on her aunt's side was not much different, because her aunt married and moved to Luoan City, which was 30 kilometers away from the urban area. Although she was not completely cut off from her family in the past few years, they rarely had contact.

Wu Mengting only met this aunt a few times when she was a child, and they rarely met after she grew up.

This time it was her father's 50th birthday, and both families planned to come and congratulate him, which was rare.

Of course there were reasons for this, the main reason being Wu Mengting's sudden success. Although Wu Mengting had long ago told her parents not to spread her affairs, her parents apparently still did, at least telling her uncle and aunt.

Otherwise, their two families would not have come in such a large group, even bringing the youngest child with them, which was considered to give enough face to her father.

Of course, Dad Wu was very happy about this, after all, they were his own brothers and sister's families.

So, Father Wu specifically reminded them: "Your two cousins ​​will come over tomorrow, and you will be responsible for entertaining them. They are guests, so you should be polite to them."

Wu Mengting was somewhat reluctant, but after all, it was her father's 50th birthday, so she nodded and agreed: "Got it."

Father Wu looked at Chen Feng again and said, "Ah Feng, tomorrow I'll have to trouble you to help entertain Tingting's brother and cousin. Tingting doesn't drink, so you can drink with her two brothers."

Chen Feng quickly said, "Uncle, you are too polite. I will definitely help to receive them."

"Okay." Dad Wu nodded happily.

Wu Mengting ignored her father and said directly to Chen Feng: "Go to my room to take a shower and change clothes. The car has become smelly after driving for so long."

Chen Feng didn't want to talk to Father Wu any more, so he agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

After saying that, Chen Feng nodded to Wu's father and went to Wu Mengting's room with his luggage bag.

He had been here before, so of course he knew which room Wu Mengting belonged to.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Chen Feng did not go downstairs. He lay on Wu Mengting's bed and browsed on his cell phone.

At this time, Wu Mengting had just finished eating the egg and shredded pork noodles cooked by her mother. She burped a little indecently, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth with satisfaction, and said to her mother with a smile: "Mom, your noodle-cooking skills are still a little lacking, I haven't learned them well enough."

Mother Wu said with a hint of pride: "Of course, the older you are, the wiser you are."

Father Wu suddenly asked, somewhat untimely, "Tingting, has Afeng agreed to talk to you about marriage?"

Wu Mengting's good mood suddenly dropped by half after her father said this. She said unhappily, "I've already told you guys not to ask about my relationship with him in the future."

Father Wu frowned and said, "You are my only daughter. How can I not ask about your lifelong affairs?"

Mother Wu also agreed: "Yes, you are our only daughter. And... he is also sick..."

"That's enough." Wu Mengting interrupted, "If you ask me about Chen Feng and me again, I won't give you the red envelopes every year."

Mother Wu said dissatisfiedly: "You child, we are your parents and we care about you."

"Don't get involved in what's going on between me and him. If you want to, I won't give you one million a year anymore. I mean what I say."

Father Wu and Mother Wu immediately shut up. (End of this chapter)
