Catering God

Chapter 145 I don’t know if it’s my illusion
On the morning of the first day of the new year.

Jiang Feng followed his parents to the countryside to visit his grandparents.

The long-distance bus bumped along the gravel road, and Jiang Feng was thrown off the faded blue velvet seat for the third time.

Shen Meijuan was holding a large bag filled with fruits and nutritional supplements, and was scolding Jiang Huaguo: "I told you not to bring so many things. The weather is so cold, the fruits are so cold, and my parents don't like to eat them."

Jiang Huaguo scratched his head and could only laugh awkwardly.

After all, they were his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he didn't dare treat them badly...

Jiang Feng looked at the rice fields passing by outside the window, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the train ticket.

In my memory of my previous life, my grandma passed away in late autumn of this year. At that time, he was still studying in Handu. He suddenly received this bad news and took a few days off to return to his hometown.

Grandma was buried under the walnut tree in the backyard.

Later, my parents suggested bringing my grandfather to live in the city, but he refused to do so and insisted on staying on the land where he had lived all his life.

Later, before leaving, he told the truth: Grandpa said that if he left, grandma would be too lonely.

"Are you hungry?"

Ms. Shen's voice suddenly pulled Jiang Feng's thoughts out of his memories.

She took out an aluminum lunch box from the bottom of the basket, and the aroma of the leek dumplings instantly overwhelmed the smell of engine oil in the car.

"I fried it this morning and wrapped it in three layers of cotton cloth to keep it warm. Do you want some?"

There was a faded peony flower printed on the lid of the lunch box. The bumpy surface, while damaged by battle, gave it a very old feel and made it look even older than Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng wanted to take the aluminum lunch box, bite open the crispy dough, and the fresh aroma of leeks mixed with dried shrimps exploded on his tongue.

My mother’s cooking skills have always been impeccable.

In the past, when we had a banquet at home, we never hired a cook. My mother was always the chef. She could cook many dishes, such as braised dishes, boiled dishes, cold dishes, and steamed rice noodles.

In a sense, Jiang Feng's ability to work in the catering industry was also influenced by his mother.

Jiang Feng was eating leek dumplings.

Thoughtful.

I wonder if the little rich woman has ever eaten leek boxes...

"Eat slowly."

Jiang Huaguo took out a green water bottle from the inner pocket of his Zhongshan suit and handed it to Jiang Feng.

The bus braked suddenly, and the lunch box in Jiang Feng's hand almost hit the Lei Feng hat of the old man in the front seat.

The driver yelled at the top of his lungs, "We've arrived at Jiangjiaao! Anyone with live chickens, get off now!"

The car door creaked open, and an aunt in a floral cotton jacket squeezed in, holding a chicken with a red rope tied to its claws.

Shen Meijuan peeked out the car window and suddenly patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder: "Look! Your grandfather's pipe!"

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, an old man in a navy blue cotton-padded jacket was holding a copper pipe, puffing on it, and standing next to several old men playing chess, watching the game.

Jiang Feng and his companions got out of the car quickly.

Looking at the old man walking towards him with a grin, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile.

I vaguely remember.

At this time in his previous life, he wanted to go out and play with his classmates and did not go back to his hometown with his parents to visit his grandparents.

Later, when I started working, I understood a truth.

After working so hard all year long, I can only go home during the holidays. How many days can I spend with my loved ones in a year?
When you make money and your parents are old or even passed away, you will have a thousand regrets. After all, no matter how much money you make, it can't buy you a day of companionship.

This time, Jiang Feng decided to end the battle quickly.

This business rat, a billionaire, will be killed seven times in and seven times out first!

……

The morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Chen Tiankuo asked Jiang Feng out early in the morning.

"Why did you call me out so early? Aren't we going to your house for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Feng obviously looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

He looked at the time and it was only nine o'clock in the morning.

Because I went to my grandma and grandpa's house yesterday, and it was very late when I came back. I was also very tired from the journey, and thinking about what happened today, so I didn't sleep well at all.

"I brought you out here specially to get dressed. Have you prepared the gift? If not, we'll go buy it later..."

Chen Tiankuo changed his usual unruly style and kept chattering, saying that he was going to drag Jiang Feng to see his personal stylist to give him a good makeover.

Jiang Feng frowned and glanced at him: "Why do I feel like you're more nervous than me?"

It was obvious that he was going to meet the rich woman's father at night, but he was very calm. However, Chen Tiankuo was jumping up and down, even more anxious than him.

Chen Tiankuo's eyes widened immediately:
"Nonsense! This concerns my sister's lifelong event. As her brother, how can I not care about it?"

This does make some sense...

But Jiang Feng still pushed his hand away, and then said:

"Don't worry, I've bought the gifts: a jade bracelet and two cakes of Pu'er tea, one raw and one cooked..."

Chen Tiankuo asked in surprise: "When did you buy it?"

“I bought it when I went to the Mushroom Province before.”

It’s not that Jiang Feng has the special ability to predict the future, but he is more thoughtful.

When I took Chen Jingyu on a business trip to the Mushroom Province, I took into account the possibility of having to give gifts in the future, so I bought these "local specialties" locally.

"By the way, I also bought a jade brooch for your future wife. Please bring it to her for me later."

After all, Chu Yuelan had helped him so much, so Jiang Feng had to express his gratitude. So when he thought of this, he bought some extra in case of emergency.

Who knew it would come in handy so soon.

When Chen Tiankuo heard this, he was speechless.

I always feel that what Jiang Feng said is weird, but when I think about it carefully, I can't find any fault with it.

"Forget it, I think you're farsighted, but you still have to come with me to get dressed up. At least you have to dress up."

"I want you to say..."

Jiang Feng was taken by Chen Tiankuo to meet the so-called official stylist.

He has a good foundation, but he doesn't need to pick up girls on a regular basis, so his daily outfits are mainly clean and sunny.

The designer directly transformed Jiang Feng into a handsome gentleman with British style.

He has a big frame, standing at 1.8 meters tall, and he is also a clothes hanger. The long coat he wears looks very decent.

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t dress up, but after being forced by Chen Tiankuo to dress up like this, he looked like a handsome young man, suave and elegant, with extraordinary temperament.

When Jiang Feng and Chen Tiankuo stood together, he looked like a rich young man. If it weren't for Chen Tiankuo's branded clothes, at first glance, one would have thought he was a henchman of the second generation.

"Oh no, have I become a supporting role?" Chen Tiankuo touched his chin and looked at Jiang Feng in front of him.

I had a quick bite to eat outside at noon.

Just find a place to have tea.

Chen Jingyu made a phone call and found out that Jiang Feng and Chen Tiankuo were together.

I hurried over to find him.

When she saw the refreshed Jiang Feng, she kept blinking her beautiful eyes, feeling particularly surprised.

"Jiang Bao looks so handsome today."

The young rich woman immediately stretched out her hands and asked for a hug.

The originally cold little face now had a smile on it, especially the pair of captivating eyes, which couldn't help but have a hint of peach blossoms.

Jiang Feng gave the rich young woman a light hug to satisfy her request, and then placed her on the leather sofa beside him.

The main reason is that my brother-in-law is still around.

It's not good for the two of them to be so affectionate. "Ahem..."

Chen Tiankuo coughed lightly twice, clearing the situation and regaining control, then continued:

"Everyone is here, now we can simulate it on the spot."

"Simulate what?" Jiang Feng looked confused.

"Simulate the scene of you meeting my dad. Let's go through it first, so you won't be too nervous to speak."

Chen Tiankuo was really thoughtful and even thought of this.

But this scene is too exaggerated.

It’s okay for those who know, but those who don’t think that his sister can’t get married and is waiting for this wave of deception to send her away.

Jiang Feng glanced at Chen Jingyu beside him.

Just half a side face is enough to kill the coquettish bitch outside. The purest and most dreamy white moonlight usually only appears in dreams or on the big screen.

But it appeared right before his eyes.

Just a short distance away.

You can reach out and touch it.

Jiang Feng looked up at Chen Tiankuo and shrugged: "I don't think you need to be so exaggerated. I'm not a child. I can't speak clearly..."

"It's always good to act it out. Is it possible that my sister's importance to you is not enough for you to put in the effort to act it out?"

As soon as Chen Tiankuo said this.

Jiang Feng was completely numb.

He raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong, brother, I'm acting, I'll listen to you, don't say such things."

Just chat properly, why throw mines for no reason!

Jiang Feng wanted to refuse, but Chen Tiankuo had "morally kidnapped" him, so he dared not refuse and could only cooperate with the performance honestly.
"Okay, now, you treat me as your dad, cough cough..."

The words were funny, but Chen Tiankuo adjusted his expression and put on a serious look. I wonder if he was imitating his father.

"Xiao Jiang?"

"I'm……"

"How old are you today?"

"Almost 20, a native of Jincheng, studying finance at Han University..."

"I heard you are also doing business?"

"It's just a small business..."

Just like that, the two of them began to act out their roles vividly. The key point was that Chen Tiankuo had bad intentions and made all kinds of difficulties for Jiang Feng during the period, causing some very strange problems.

Chen Jingyu looked at the two of them and thought they were performing crosstalk.

After a while, Jiang Feng frowned: "You are so bored that you ask me if I want to marry into your family. Is this a question a human being can ask?"

Chen Tiankuo's eyes widened as he spoke logically, "I'm just testing you based on possible questions. Are you going to be dumb in front of my dad if you don't answer these questions?"

After hearing what Chen Tiankuo said, Jiang Feng was really speechless.

It's not that he doesn't know how to debate, the key is that Chen Tiankuo is too weird. He asks all kinds of very tricky questions right from the start.

Checking household registration, interpersonal relationships, and careers are all small things.

The key point is that he asks you whether you want to marry into the family, whether you want to do property fairness, and whether you want to sign an agreement... If you don’t know, you might think that this meeting is about discussing marriage!

Chen Jingyu looked at the two people who were about to quarrel, and couldn't help but pull Jiang Feng's arm, blinking her beautiful eyes and asking curiously:
"Jiang Feng, what does it mean to marry into a family?"

"Marrying into your wife's family... well, it means I can come to your house and play with you every day."

Jiang Feng thought about it and found a rather far-fetched explanation.

"Then you can marry into the family."

The rich young woman blinked her beautiful eyes.

He looked honest and serious.

Jiang Feng was stunned... Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

Chen Jingyu is just an idiot, not a fool. She is almost twenty years old, how could she not even know the meaning of the word "marrying into the wife's family"?
Just when he was puzzled, he vaguely caught a glimpse of cunning that flashed across the corner of the rich woman's eyes.

"Okay, you're playing with me, aren't you?"

"Hehe, who made you so stupid?" After the young rich woman succeeded, she chuckled and was very happy.

Chen Tiankuo in front of him slapped the table and said, "Alright, enough joking, it's time to get down to business..."

We chatted until nearly four o'clock.

Chen Tiankuo chose to let Jiang Feng go.

He looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. I'll take Jingyu home first. You go back to get the gifts or something. I'll pick you up later."

"it is good."

The group stood up, left the tea place and went their separate ways.

After Chen Tiankuo got in the car, he waited for Chen Jingyu to fasten her seat belt and start the car when he suddenly remembered something.

So he advised:
"By the way, Jingyu, when the time comes, don't mention that Jiang Feng is your adopted son in front of Dad, otherwise you're doomed."

Chen Tiankuo suddenly remembered this and reminded Chen Jingyu, fearing that she would give him a big blow.

If that were the case, he and Jiang Feng could just raise the white flag and choose to surrender, and all the actions and plans that had been prepared for so long would be ruined.

Faced with his brother's advice, Chen Tiankuo did not answer in a hurry.

She just stared silently out the car window at Jiang Feng's figure that was getting farther and farther away, until he completely disappeared around the corner.

Then he withdrew his gaze and lay back on the seat.

The smile on his face had faded away at some point, returning to his usual cold expression as he said calmly:

"I'm not a kid."

"Haha..." Chen Tiankuo said with a forced smile, "You are not a child. You used to always say that Jiang Feng was kept by you, which almost caused a lot of misunderstandings."

Chen Jingyu replied calmly:

"I was just teasing him."

It was almost sunset, and the thin sunlight shone through the car window and fell on the girl's delicate and beautiful face, but it could not eliminate the coldness.

Long eyelashes, charming eyes, straight nose, perfect curves and proportions are displayed on this face.

Confident, dignified and elegant.

A true socialite.

In a trance, Chen Tiankuo seemed a little unfamiliar with the person in front of him. She seemed very mature, and not quite like his silly and stupid sister.

"Jingyu?"

"Well, what happened?"

The girl turned her head, and that naive dullness reappeared in her innocent big eyes.

"Haha, I almost thought it wasn't you just now."

"What's the meaning."

"Means nothing……"

Chen Tiankuo started the car while muttering to himself.

Could it be that he had seen it wrong just now?

Or maybe it's an illusion caused by the sunlight filter?
Just when Chen Tiankuo was confused, he turned his head and looked.

I saw Chen Jingyu leaning against the car window, staring at the cake shop on the roadside, drooling, and saying eagerly:

"Can I buy a small cake before we go back? Just a small one."
