Chapter 155: An Uncompetitive Boyfriend
This Zhang Lei has been to Zheng Wenli's house a few times, but in fact, the old couple doesn't like him, because he doesn't bring much with him every time he comes.
The first time I came to the door as a boyfriend, I only brought a box of small tea leaves, and there were only two taels in it. And it's the kind of ordinary tea that can't be ordinary, although this old couple is not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, but it's also a new aunt who comes to the door, what's the difference between this and empty-handed door-to-door?
Aunt Fu thinks that such a man is not a good man, and he has no prospects, because he is too picky. There is also how he knows how to be polite, and he likes to start from the bottom of the dish when he eats vegetables.
Although Zheng Wenli's family is not a noble family, it is still very educated. Very particular about conduct, this is what Old Man Zheng has taught Zheng Wenli since he was a child.
And Zhang Lei never finishes eating, every time he finishes eating, a lot of rice will fall into the bowl, and he is not thrifty. In short, he has all kinds of shortcomings that the old couple doesn't like.
But there is no way, who will let their daughter like it, so the old couple didn't object much, just thinking about letting the two of them get along first, whether they can get along or not, and then talk about it later.
Anyway, the old couple felt that the two of them couldn't go on, and they were very unoptimistic.
This time, as usual, he still carried a little bit of small things, as if he had made himself very poor.
"Well, here you are, I'll introduce you to you. This is my boyfriend Zhang Lei, this is Ye Feng, he saved me yesterday. Zheng Wenli pulled Zhang Lei over and introduced Ye Feng very happily.
Ye Feng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand very politely, and greeted Zhang Lei: "Hello." ”
"Hello."
Zhang Lei just shook Ye Feng's hand briefly, and then sat down.
"Wen Li, come in and help me pinch a dish." Aunt Fu called Zheng Wenli in, but in fact, the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
"Today is the day of Ye Feng's apprenticeship, why did you bring him here?" Aunt Fu obviously didn't want Zhang Lei to come to the house, and she was in a good mood, because Zhang Lei's arrival was somewhat affected.
When Zheng Wenli heard this, she pouted and complained: "Mom, why are you always like this?" What's wrong with Zhang Lei, why don't you like him? ”
"How many times have I told you, this is not a good man, forget it, I don't bother to care about you and whatever you want." Aunt Fu shook her hand and then washed her own dishes.
Zheng Wenli shook her head and took out the basket of fruits that had been washed.
The three of them sat at the stone table, originally when Zhang Lei didn't come, Ye Feng and Old Man Zheng could still talk, but after he came, the atmosphere seemed to become awkward all of a sudden. Old man Zheng didn't speak, and Ye Feng also felt the embarrassment of this atmosphere, so he didn't speak, just drank tea by himself.
When Ye Feng picked up the teacup, Zhang Lei found that Ye Feng's teacup was different from his own. Ye Feng's teacup was a purple clay pot, and his teacup was just an ordinary guest teacup, which made Zhang Lei feel a little unhappy in his heart.
"Little brother, where are you high?" Zhang Lei broke the ice first and took the initiative to ask Ye Feng, but in fact he wanted to know what Ye Feng was doing.
Before he came, Zheng Wenli had already told him that his father was going to take in an apprentice. So he wanted to know who this person his father was fancy.
In fact, Zhang Lei also knew that the second elder of the Zheng family didn't like him, but Zheng Wenli had to pull herself over, so she had no choice but to come over.
Ye Feng smiled slightly and replied, "I'm still in school, studying at the School of Business Administration of Yenching University. ”
Old man Zheng looked at the newspaper by himself, ignoring Ye Feng and Zhang Lei.
"Oh, I'm still a college student. However, to tell you the truth, although Yenching University is a good school, it is actually similar to other universities, because the major you studied in school is not related to your future job, so it is better to study a junior college to save money. Look at me, the development is still good, I have an income of 5,000 a month, and I will be able to raise my salary next year. ”
Zhang Lei's tone became contemptuous, as if he felt that in the eyes of a college student, this income must be a huge amount that they would envy.
But he didn't know that Ye Feng only had a discharge fee, so much so that Zhang Lei could count a few days and nights with a calculator, and selling an antique casually was also his income for several years.
However, Ye Feng is still very modest, after all, he is the boyfriend of the Zheng family's daughter, and he still has to give him a little face. If he wants to pretend to elevate himself, he will let him be, anyway, his identity Old Man Zheng also knows, and he is not afraid of how he belittles himself.
"Yes, quite a high income, congratulations on your high move." Ye Feng said lightly.
"Actually, there's nothing to congratulate, I just want you to know, young people, don't think that if you go to a slightly better university, it's not a big deal. The society is complicated, you are still young, and you don't understand it when I tell you. ”
Zhang Lei actually wanted to belittle Ye Feng, so that he could make some face for himself in the future when his father-in-law and mother-in-law were in the house.
But his arrogant method made Old Man Zheng and Aunt Fu uncomfortable to listen to. What Zhang Lei said, Aunt Fu, who was washing and chopping vegetables in the kitchen, listened to it.
"What kind of virtue, he is the captain of the special forces brigade, and he is embarrassed to take out five thousand yuan a month." Aunt Fu said with a little unhappiness.
When he came back last night, Old Man Zheng told Aunt Fu Ye Feng's identity, but he didn't tell Zheng Wenli. Because I am afraid that Zheng Wenli will say it, after all, young people are easy to leak their mouths, but Aunt Fu will definitely not.
After knowing that Ye Feng was the captain of the special forces brigade, Aunt Fu's impression of Ye Feng also went to the next level. Originally, I had a good impression of Ye Feng in Lixue, so I liked Ye Feng even more.
"By the way, do you like to read? Look at you like this, you're the kind of nerd who likes to read, right? Zhang Lei said in a mocking tone.
Ye Feng still smiled slightly: "I like to read, I will flip through books when I have nothing to do, and if you are ugly, you should read more." ”
"You're telling the truth, you really need to read more. However, society is a real book, and what you read is actually not very useful, if you don't believe it, you will know it when you work in the future. Zhang Lei continued to talk exaggeratedly.
At this time, Aunt Fu couldn't stand it anymore, he washed two bunches of grapes and put them in the fruit bowl, and asked with a kind smile: "Zhang Lei, which university did you graduate from?" You know so many truths, the school must be much better than Yenching University, right? ”
Zhang Lei was a little embarrassed to ask this, because he was just an ordinary college graduate.
"That auntie, it doesn't matter which school she graduated from, what matters is her future development." As soon as Zhang Lei's words were finished, Aunt Fu also deliberately teased: "Hearing you say this, your school must be too good, I'm afraid it will make Ye Feng embarrassed by saying it, right?" Is it Oxford, or Cambridge? ”
"That"
Zhang Lei was embarrassed to mention that he was a college graduate, so he had to swallow and vomit, and he didn't say it for a long time.
"Oh, Mom, what kind of college graduate do you care about Zhang Lei, isn't it good to work now." Zheng Wenli saw Zhang Lei's embarrassment, and immediately came over to relieve Zhang Lei.
Aunt Fu smiled, and then asked Ye Feng: "Xiaofeng, I heard that many college students have written papers and won awards, and many have won scholarships, do you have them?" ”
"I'm lucky, I've won a few awards for my blind writing." Ye Feng did write papers for publication and won some scholarships.
When Aunt Fu heard this, she immediately asked, "Yo, really, tell me where you published it and how much money you received?" ”
Ye Feng replied modestly: "One article is okay, it is on the American publication, and the others are all national publications." As for the bonus, it's not much. ”
"Not much, how much? Is there 60,000 or 70,000 yuan? ”
The reason why Aunt Fu said this amount is because Zhang Lei just bragged that his salary was five thousand a month, which happened to be his salary for a year.
Ye Feng smiled and replied, "That's not all, it's a little more than this." ”
"That's right, Xiao Feng, you're better at school than others at work. Therefore, it is still very important to go to a good university. ”
After Aunt Fu finished speaking, she wiped her hands and went into the kitchen again, he actually came out for one purpose, that is, he didn't want to see Zhang Lei pretend to be forced again.
Ye Feng asked and answered Aunt Fu like this, which made Zhang Lei feel a little embarrassed, because after all, his cowhide was blown up, and he was simply playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
"Zhang Lei, come and help me kill a chicken together, you catch him, I'll kill him." Zheng Wenli brought the chicken she had just bought.
"What? Want me to kill chickens? ”
Hearing the killing of chickens, Zhang Lei looked disgusted: "I won't do this kind of work done by women, you can kill it yourself." ”
When he said this, Old Man Zheng and Aunt Fu threw strange looks at each other at the same time. Seeing these two eyes, Zhang Lei felt that his words had been said, so he sat up and pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Okay, I'll help you." ”
But the disgusted expression on his face was telling everyone that he didn't want to do this.
At this time, Ye Feng had already stood up, but seeing Zhang Lei walking over, he didn't go to join in the excitement again.
"You grab the wings of the chicken, and I'll get the knife." Zheng Wenli handed Zhang Lei the chicken that had been tied to his feet, but Zhang Lei still seemed to be afraid, as if the chicken would eat him, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move more.
He finally caught the chicken's wings, and he kept standing there, for fear that the chicken would peck him. This scene was seen by the two elders of the Zheng family, and they had nothing to say about the performance of "future son-in-law" except for sending two bad reviews.
"You've got it right, I'm going to kill the chicken." Zheng Wenli brought the kitchen knife, and Zhang Lei's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of fear.
He had never killed a chicken before, and he felt so stressed to be faced with such a cruel thing all of a sudden. Just as he was about to kill the chicken, suddenly he let go of his hand and the chicken jumped out of his hand.
"Oops, the chicken ran away, how did you catch the chicken."
Zheng Wenli complained about Fu Zhang Lei, but Zhang Lei retorted: "You should kill the chicken in the vegetable market, how disgusting and troublesome it is to take it back and kill it." ”
"Two people can't kill a chicken, what can they do." Aunt Fu came out of the kitchen and said unhappily.
And Zhang Lei was standing on the side, and he didn't know how to go up to help, and Old Man Zheng didn't come over to help. As the head of the family, he never interferes in the kitchen.
But although the chicken's feet were tied, it still jumped very hard, Zheng Wenli and Aunt Fu stopped and caught, but they couldn't catch the chicken.
It doesn't matter if you can't catch the chicken, the chicken still made trouble, and I saw Aunt Fu suddenly scream: "Ah! ”
