From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Feng Zhengming spent this Spring Festival quite leisurely and peacefully.

The New Year's Eve dinner was still prepared by the brother and sister Xia Hui and Xia Mingye.

Feng Zhengming gave the siblings some advice.

The job of cleaning up after dinner was contracted by my aunt, second aunt and third aunt.

The sudden leisure made Feng Zhengming feel a little bored.

Fortunately, there are three children at home, and Feng Zhengming got the task of playing with his younger brothers and sisters.

So Feng Zhengming took his younger brothers and sisters out to play from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day.

On New Year’s Eve, I took my three children to set off a lot of fireworks on the road outside the door.

The three children were very excited.

Even after Xia Hui and Xia Mingye, brother and sister, joined the group, Feng Zhengming still played a lot of tricks with them.

For example, you can fold some paper airplanes and use them to fly with lit fireworks.

Of course, because fireworks are heavy, paper airplanes won’t fly if you just throw them with your hands.

Feng Zhengming got a rubber band and cut a notch under the paper airplane.

Use a rubber band to shoot the paper airplane filled with fireworks away.

This way of playing makes the children find it very interesting.

They all followed Feng Zhengming and went to play.

Feng Zhengming also warned them: "Don't shoot at people, and don't shoot straight up. Shoot diagonally toward the open road."

After Feng Zhengming’s teaching, the children discovered many new ways to play with fireworks.

Just outside the dry food shop on the street, a few children were having a lot of fun.

They set off a large number of fireworks, which soon attracted some people who lived not far away to come and watch.

There were also quite a few children among them, and they all brought the fireworks and firecrackers they bought.

A group of children gathered together, almost lighting up the street with fireworks.

This leisurely and playful scene made Feng Zhengming feel as if he was back in his childhood.

There is no endless work, no boss to push you, and no pressure from daily life.

Just like these children in front of us, they are carefree and enjoying themselves.

After playing with the children for two days, it was the second day of the Chinese New Year before we knew it.

Third uncle Feng Jiandong still gave his car to Feng Zhengming to use.

Then today my third uncle is going to my third aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, and my eldest uncle is also going to accompany my eldest aunt back to BJ.

Feng Zhengming drove his uncle's family to the train station. After they got on the train, he drove to Luo Qing's grandparents' house.

We drove into the village again, and the villagers seemed to have known that Feng Zhengming would come.

They followed the car and greeted him enthusiastically.

Feng Zhengming also responded with a smile to the villagers who greeted him.

Feng Zhengming drove to the intersection next to Luo Qing's grandparents' house, parked the car, took out the gifts he brought from the car, locked the car and walked towards Luo Qing's grandparents' house.

As soon as he entered the door, Feng Zhengming heard the voice of Aunt Luo Qing coming from the house.

"Luo Qing'an, today in front of my parents, you must explain your thoughts to me clearly.

You are the eldest brother in this family. Have you helped us younger sisters and brothers over the years?

You didn't have that ability before, and our families were all doing well, so we didn't need you to help us with anything.

This time our Xiaojun lost his job, and thinking that your Luo Qing found such a great boyfriend, we specially bought some things and came to your house to ask for your help.

In the end, you really don’t care about the brother-sister relationship at all. You took our things and didn’t say a single good word for us.”

When Feng Zhengming heard what Aunt Luo Qing said, he roughly knew that it was because of what happened with Luo Qing's cousin's work.

But Feng Zhengming didn't expect that on New Year's Day, Aunt Luo Qing would actually quarrel with Luo Qing's father in front of Luo Qing's grandparents.

Faced with this situation, Feng Zhengming was a little embarrassed.

After all, this is Luo Qing's family matter.

What's more, it's a matter between her father and her aunt's family.

Although this matter is related to Feng Zhengming, Feng Zhengming is still an outsider and it is not appropriate for him to interrupt casually.

Luo Qing's father inside spoke quickly.

"Qing's mother, take out the money. Don't count how much Luo Qingfang gave her that day. Just give her 200 yuan. We won't take advantage of her."

Then Luo Qing's father continued, "Luo Qingfang, let me make it clear to you, Xiao Feng and our Qingqing are still boyfriend and girlfriend, not to mention that they haven't gotten married yet.

Even if they are married, can we, as elders, just order the younger generation to do things? "

Without waiting for Aunt Luo Qing to speak, Luo Qing's father continued, "That day, Xiao Feng also gave your Zhao Jun some advice, asking him to learn the craft from a good chef.

But your Zhao Jun himself doesn't want to go, and your whole family doesn't want him to go.

What do you want them to do?
Do you still want people to send money to your house?"

Luo Qing's father's words made it difficult for Luo Qing's aunt to refute.

At the same time, Feng Zhengming heard Luo Qing's grandfather also speak.

"Okay, okay, it's New Year's Day, Qingfang, you're arguing with your brother as soon as you get back, what's wrong? Dajun needs to work, can't you just talk to him nicely?

You find someone and they give you a solution, but you are unwilling to do what they say.

Just like what your brother said, what do you want them to do? "

Grandpa Luo Qing’s words were very effective and the house immediately became quiet.

Feng Zhengming took advantage of the quiet moment, knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm here."

When they heard Feng Zhengming's voice, everyone from Luo Qing's grandparents' family came out immediately.

When the Luo family saw Feng Zhengming standing at the door carrying something, they were stunned at first.

Then, Luo Qing's grandmother said with a smile: "Xiao Feng is here, come in, come in and sit down, look at you, why are you buying these things again?"

Feng Zhengming walked in with his things at the invitation of Luo Qing's grandmother, put them down and said, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa and Grandma on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Then Feng Zhengming turned his head and looked around, and saw that only Luo Qing's family and her aunt's family were at her grandparents' house.

Luo Qing's two uncles are not at home. They must have gone to Luo Qing's aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Feng Zhengming smiled and greeted Luo Qing's aunt and uncle, Luo Qing's cousin and his wife, and aunt Luo Qing's little daughter.

Aunt Luo Qing’s youngest daughter just turned 18 this year.

When she saw Feng Zhengming, Aunt Luo Qing's little daughter's eyes lit up and she was very excited.

"Are you the top scholar on TV?" Without waiting for Feng Zhengming to respond, the girl continued, "You look even more handsome than on TV, so tall and strong."

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Thank you."

Then the girl said, "Brother-in-law, does your store need waiters? I just graduated from a technical secondary school and I'm looking for a job. Can I work in your store?"

Feng Zhengming didn't expect that the girl was waiting for him here.

He smiled and said, "Being a waiter is very hard, can you bear that hardship?"

The girl said: "Of course, you are my cousin's husband, you are the boss, you will definitely take care of me."

Feng Zhengming shook his head: "In my shop, I never take care of anyone. Only people with real abilities can get the best treatment in my shop."

The girl was not surprised at all when she heard this, but laughed instead.

"Hehehe, you are just like what my parents said at home, a blockhead who has no idea about the ways of the world."

When Aunt Luo Qing heard her daughter say this, she quickly scolded her, "Zhao Ya, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Then Zhao Ya said, "Mom, I heard what you and Dad said about her at home. You said she was too arrogant and looked down on our family. She said my cousin would be dumped by her sooner or later. She said my cousin was not worthy of her."

The Luo family didn't expect that Zhao Ya would blurt out everything that Aunt Luo Qing had said in private at home.

The scene suddenly became quite awkward.

Aunt Luo Qing looked at her daughter with such an urge that she wanted to strangle her heartless daughter to death.

Feng Zhengming was in silence when the Luo family members said nothing and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

He suddenly said, "It's getting late, uncle and aunt, why don't we go first? Aren't we going to Luo Qing's grandma's house today?"

Luo Qing's mother immediately said, "Yes, yes, we have already agreed with my family today that we are going back. My second brother and his wife should be waiting for us at home."

Luo Qing's grandparents didn't stop her either.

Grandpa said, "Then you go first."

Grandma said: "Xiao Feng, when you have time, come to our house to play again. Next time, don't leave in a hurry and try grandma's cooking."

Feng Zhengming agreed: "Okay grandma, I will definitely come to try your cooking next time."

After saying goodbye to Luo Qing’s grandparents, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing’s family left.

After Feng Zhengming took Luo Qing's family away, Luo Qing's aunt couldn't help but want to beat her daughter.

However, he was stopped by Luo Qing's grandparents.

Grandma was a little annoyed and said, "Okay, are you coming back to pay New Year's greetings, or to cause trouble for me and your father? If you are coming to pay New Year's greetings, hurry up and make dinner."

In the end, Aunt Luo Qing had no choice but to take her daughter-in-law to cook.

Feng Zhengming was driving back, and Luo Qing finally couldn't help laughing when the car drove out of the village.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Zhao Ya to be so bold."

Luo Qing's smile made her parents and brother laugh.

Luo Wenhan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said, "Zhao Ya has been like that since she was a child. She is heartless and speaks without thinking."

Luo's mother also smiled and said, "That girl will suffer a great loss sooner or later because of her mouth."

Luo's father said, "Isn't it because of her father's spoiling? He has been treating her like a treasure since she was little. He has taught her to be like this. Let's see what their family will do in the future."

Feng Zhengming suddenly said when he heard this: "I think that girl is a very smart girl."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Luo Qing's family in the car were a little confused?
Luo Wenhan said: "How can she be considered smart when she says that? I think she is just a fool."

Feng Zhengming asked seriously: "Think about it, does that girl really not know what the consequences of saying those words will be?"

This question stumped Luo Qing's entire family.

Feng Zhengming continued, "She should know very well what will happen if she says those words, but she said them in front of me. She actually wants to get my attention. I dare say she will come to me after the Chinese New Year and ask me for a job."

These words made Luo Qing's family a little confused.

Father Luo was silent for a moment and said, "What Zhengming said really makes sense. Zhao Ya has always been outspoken since she was a child, but she has always been very smart and has always had good grades in school."

After a pause, Father Luo continued, "That girl might want to attract Zhengming's attention so that she can work in Zhengming's store."

Luo Wenhan still didn't understand: "She told Zhengming what her parents said about him, just to be able to work in Zhengming's store? I still think she is mentally deficient."

Luo Qing said, "You are the one who is missing a brain. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law all have a bad relationship with Zhengming, so of course she has to show that she is not on the same side as her family so that Zhengming will be willing to give her a job opportunity."

Feng Zhengming echoed, "She should think so. Let's see if she will come to see me after the New Year."

Luo Wenhan immediately asked: "If she comes to you, will you give her a job?"

Feng Zhengming laughed and said, "I said, I will only give opportunities to capable people. My store will never take care of any relatives or friends."

Luo's father said: "This is what it means to do things properly."

Then his father said to Luo Wenhan: "Don't think that you are several years older than Zhengming. You should learn from Zhengming in how to behave and do things. Don't always be so smart."

Luo's mother looked at her son in the front row and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at you, you are already over 30, Zhao Jun's children are in elementary school, and you still don't even have a girlfriend.

Just because you broke up with Fang Hongyan, you can't stop looking for a girlfriend, right?"

When Feng Zhengming heard Luo's mother urging Luo Wenhan to get married, he felt like he had returned to another world.

It seems that urging their children to get married is the biggest thing that parents do to their children, no matter what era.

Luo Wenhan said nonchalantly, "Mom, don't worry about me. Why don't you urge Qingqing to marry Zhengming as soon as possible so that you can have a grandson sooner."

Luo Qing was immediately unhappy: "Why are you talking about me again?"

Then Luo Qing spoke up for Feng Zhengming.

"Zhengming is different from you. He has a lot of things he hasn't done yet. If we get married now, it will delay his career development."

Feng Zhengming felt touched when he heard Luo Qing explain it to him.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Zhengming said, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt. Qingqing and I have already discussed it. Next year, when I buy a house, we will get married."

Luo Qing was a little surprised to hear this, because Feng Zhengming had not discussed this matter with her.

But before Luo Qing could say anything, Luo's father and mother already started laughing happily.

Luo's mother even smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you have your plans, you are still young, you can get married next year. It doesn't matter if you have a house or not, you can work together to buy one after you get married."

Feng Zhengming smiled and responded: "Auntie, don't say that. Since we are getting married, we should give Qingqing a home. We must have a house of our own."

In fact, Feng Zhengming had already planned this.

He felt that he only had some debts left and could pay them off in about half a year.

Then save up money for another half a year, which should be enough to buy a house in Quancheng next year.

I will buy a house next year and have my own home in Quancheng.

After marrying Luo Qing, both of them have achieved a perfect ending.

After marriage, Feng Zhengming will continue to expand his business and reach higher heights. (End of this chapter)
