Chapter 34
Hello Auntie, Goodbye Auntie!
“Hey! Son, what are you doing?”
“Mom misses you! What? You miss Mom too? You sent me oral liquid again.”
“Aiya, you’re spending money recklessly again. The effect of that oral liquid is indeed better than in China. My waist doesn’t feel sore anymore after drinking it, and my hair has turned black.”
“I know you are filial. Your father and I are fine at home. You have to take care of your health when you’re outside. Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Go ahead with your work. I won’t disturb you from work.”
Zhang Chunhua shouted at the top of her lungs, as if the phone transmission signal was unstable and needed to be made up for with her voice.
The people sitting in the small restaurant were basically regular customers who came for the taste. They had heard a little about Zhang Chunhua’s son’s situation.
“Lady Boss, you’re so lucky. Your son works overseas and talks to her on the phone everyday. It’ll be great if my child is still so capable and filial in the future.”
“That’s right. Just look at the lady boss’s state. She’s really a few years younger since the child is so obedient!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. In the past, I even met the boss’s son when I came to eat. He’s a very supportive young man. He’s very good other than being a little short.”
“If he develops outside for a few years and marries a foreign wife, the lady boss will really enjoy life.”
In the 2000s, foreigners in the country were like precious animals. The number of heads turning when they walked on the streets was also 100%. The rapid development of foreign countries was comparable to a paradise filled with gold. The Chinese were filled with yearning for foreign countries.
Zhang Chunhua felt her face light up. She put down her phone and sat beside Mother Luo, as if she had just received her award.
She held Mother Luo’s hand. “Xiao Min, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? My son bought me a lot of beauty supplements. Bring some back later. It’s very good for your health.”
“That’s good. I want to compare the foreign products against our national products.” Mother Luo climbed up the pole without any politeness.
The shipping fee alone was quite expensive for overseas items. Zhang Chunhua was just being polite. It was still a little painful to give it away.
She quickly changed the topic to Luo Feng. “Little Feng is about to take the college entrance exam, right? How are your results? Which university are you planning to go to?”
“I’m studying at No.1 Middle School.” Luo Feng answered obediently.
“Oh my, I heard recently that your No.1 Middle School has a child who scored full marks in all subjects. Are you familiar with him? It’s very useful to learn from him!”
Luo Feng said indifferently, “Auntie, the person you’re talking about is me.”
“…You?” Zhang Chunhua was shocked. She had heard before that Luo Feng was a dabbler with average grades. She even encouraged Mother Luo to take care of him. How did he suddenly become the number one in all subjects?
When Mother Luo saw Zhang Chunhua’s incredulous expression, it was as if fireworks had exploded in her heart.
She immediately continued, “I’ve asked the teacher. She said that with Little Feng’s results, good universities will fight for him. It won’t be a problem to cover tuition and living expenses with the scholarship.”
“Is that so… Haha, then keep it up…” Zhang Chunhua shriveled, not wanting to speak anymore.
Luo Feng asked curiously: “Speaking of which, which country does Big Brother work in?”
“The best America!”
“Oh— ” Luo Feng snickered. “There’s a time difference in the U.S., so it should be around six in the morning. Getting up so early to go to work must be tough for him.”
Luo Feng had only met Zhang Chunhua’s son a few times and called him Big brother.
Zhang Chunhua smiled awkwardly and put her phone back into her pocket. She couldn’t say that she was just putting on an act. International calls were so expensive after all. How could she call every day?
She felt like Luo Feng seemed to have seen through something, so she didn’t dare look him in the eye.
“Speaking of which, your son has been working for two years. Has he gotten a girlfriend overseas? When is he planning to get married?” Mother Luo asked again.
Zhang Chunhua’s son’s marriage might have been her biggest worry recently. She had even sent her son a few photos in the past. They were all girls she had carefully selected. They had good looks, figures, and figures. However, her son did not like any of them, causing the introducers to be unwilling to introduce anymore.
However, the two places were thousands of miles apart, so Zhang Chunhua could only worry alone.
“Young people have to be busy with their careers first. There’s no hurry. Don’t talk about finding a partner in front of the children, lest they get distracted.”
Zhang Chunhua wanted to skip the topic of finding a partner, but suddenly saw a girl sitting next to Luo Feng.
Zhang Chunhua was busy showing off just now, so she didn’t notice. The girl is quite pretty now that she’s taken a closer look. Her sitting posture is quiet and proper, and her dressing is neat and clean. She was mumbling in her heart that she didn’t know Luo Feng had a sister.
“Is this your relative’s child?” Zhang Chunhua asked. She felt that this girl was very affable. If she was the right age, it would be good to introduce her son to her.
Mother Luo had been waiting for this moment! She said proudly, “She’s Xiao Feng’s girlfriend. Her name is Ai Tingya. Tingya, this is Auntie Zhang.”
“Hello, Auntie Zhang.” Ai Tingya stood up and greeted her very humbly and politely.
Zhang Chunhua’s eyes widened in shock. “They’re in their third year of high school. You don’t even worry about puppy love?”
Mother Luo covered her mouth and laughed. “They can improve together. It’s all thanks to Tingya that Xiao Feng was able to get first place. I came to your place today to thank her. It’s as delicious as ever.”
Zhang Chunhua was petrified on the spot.
What kind of good luck did Luo Feng have to be able to pick up a goddess as his wife and improve his grades while dating? Why didn’t his son encounter such a good thing?
“Ahaha… Congratulations then. In that case, I won’t disturb your family’s meal. I’ll leave first.”
Zhang Chunhua did not want to stay a second longer. The happiness of this family was too dazzling.
She went into the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Mother Luo was extremely happy and hummed a tune happily.
“Good son, you’ve finally done well. Did you see her expression when you talked about the phone call just now? She was so flustered that she didn’t dare to look at you.” Mother Luo held her stomach and laughed hysterically.
“Mom, lower your voice and save Auntie Zhang some face.”
“If she dares to pretend, then she shouldn’t be afraid of being exposed. Hahaha, it was worth it to come today!”
“Alright, is it really so exaggerated?”
His mother was happy, and Luo Feng’s heart was at ease. For such a long time, he had always heard his mother praise Ai Tingya, but today, she actually said about how good his son was.
He saw his mother holding Ai Tingya’s hand and saying earnestly just as he was feeling smug, “Tingya, you’re really our family’s lucky star. Only good things have been happening to our family one after another ever since you came. Auntie really likes you.”
Alright, the credit still belonged to Ai Tingya.
Luo Feng placed his plate on the other side and watched as Mother Luo picked up another bunch of food for Ai Tingya.
Ai Ting Ya felt the food piling up to her throat. She burped and turned to Luo Feng for help.
Luo Feng smiled wickedly and pointed at his face as if to say, “You owe me again.”
