Chapter 214 Returning Home to Visit Relatives

Father Gao looked at Jiang Feng and asked with a smile: "It's rare for girls to go to engineering colleges. Why do your parents want you to get into D University?"

Jiang Feng held the tea cup and sat upright: "There are quite a few. The male to female ratio in our school is 5:1... In fact, the year I took the college entrance examination, I took the special sports admissions. D University is considered 985, double first-class. Since they are willing to recruit me, I Just give it a try.”

"At first, my parents wanted me to go to a normal school and become a physical education teacher after graduation. I couldn't get into a particularly good normal school, but a worse normal school offered to recruit me, but I wasn't willing to accept it..."

"Oh, you're a sports student!" Father Gao became interested, "What kind of events are you practicing?"

"Martial arts."

"Wow! Martial arts!" Gao's father was surprised and praised repeatedly, "Martial arts is great! It's great to promote traditional culture!"

Gao's mother seemed a little nervous, and warned her as kindly as possible: "Xiao Feng, you and my Gao Fei should get along well. If you have something to discuss, please discuss it peacefully. Don't fight."

"Well, if we don't fight, Gao Fei is tall and strong, but I can't beat him..."

Jiang Feng looked timid and pretended to look like one!

Gao's mother was relieved now and asked her with a smile: "Xiao Fei said you are from Xingzhou, Henan Province, can you eat sea pepper? Just tell me what kind of food you like, and let Xiao Fei's father cook it for you tonight!"

"Thank you, aunt, thank you, uncle. I wasn't very good at eating spicy food when I first came to school, but I've developed it now." Jiang Feng replied with some restraint.

Gao Fei poured himself another cup of tea and added with a smile: "Jiang Feng can eat spicy food better than me, you wild hot girl! Dad, cook a Dongpo pork elbow tonight to satisfy your craving!"

"Okay! In fact, Sichuan food is not only spicy," Gao's father stood up, "You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it."

"Let me help you!"

Gao Fei followed his father to the kitchen.

Jiang Feng watched his back, unable to hide the anxiety in his eyes.

Next, she had to face Gao Mu alone, and she felt so panicked!

…

"Dad, business hasn't been going well lately, has it?" Gao Fei sat on a small bench choosing vegetables while chatting with his father.

"It's not very good." Father Gao sighed, "It's not just our family. In the past two years since the epidemic broke out, it has been difficult for any restaurant to do business. Your mother and I have two plans. One is to close the restaurant and retire. The other one is not doing dine-in, only takeout.”

“In this small place like ours, we can’t afford to die just doing takeout?”

"Someone asked me to join that Meituan group. We complained, and it was okay. It seemed to be okay."

"Forget it! It's so hard to make takeout. It's no fun. You and my mother just close the shop to save worry."

"I'm not old enough to retire. If I can, I still have to work and earn some money. In the future, you will have to spend money to marry a wife and buy a house...House prices in provincial cities are so scary!"

"I have hands and feet and can support myself. You really don't need to worry about me."

"Ha! The wings are strong, and the tone is not small!" Father Gao glanced at his son, "Let's not talk about this anymore, just study hard, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

"I'm already a junior in college. I've finished my professional courses. Apart from electives, I only have internships and a graduation project left. What else do I study?" Gao Fei said angrily.

"A bachelor's degree is not valuable, so it would be a good idea to study more!" Father Gao couldn't help but worry about his son's employment prospects after graduation. "Are there any state-owned enterprises in the provincial capital that manufacture new energy vehicles?"

"It seems not..." Gao Fei shook his head, "Most new energy vehicle companies are in first-tier cities. Those with slightly better treatment are either private companies or foreign companies."

"It's best to join a state-owned enterprise!" Father Gao insisted. "If you and Xiaofeng can't find a satisfactory job in the provincial capital, you will still have to take the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service entrance examination..."

"Don't just think about writing novels. It's not a lifelong career. What will happen when you get old and can't write anymore?"

"Actually, Xiaofeng should have listened to his parents' advice. It would have been better to study in a normal school! You are still young and don't know the truth. These days, you must have a way to be comfortable after all!"

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment, then asked his father in a roundabout way: "Dad, do you think that if I take the civil service examination after graduation, can I apply for a public security position?"

"Police..." Father Gao put down the spray gun that was burning pig knuckles and looked back at his son with confusion in his eyes: "Didn't you study electrochemical engineering? What did the public security department recruit you to do? Make batteries?"

"For SWAT, there are always all kinds of weird departments."

Gao Fei avoided his father's gaze, lowered his head and prevaricated.

"We don't understand this either. It's up to you to figure it out. It's okay to work on technology in an office, but you can't be a criminal police officer! It's too dangerous!" Father Gao repeatedly warned.

The father and son chatted and worked at the same time. After two hours of busy work, a sumptuous family banquet was prepared.

Jiang Feng chatted with Gao Mu for two hours, and was questioned about everything from his birth date to his family's household registration. It was almost more difficult than taking the exam.

Gao's mother was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law-to-be. During the meal, she kept putting vegetables on her plate and advised her to eat more, so that she would look better if she gained weight!

The family was eating and chatting around the dining table, and Gao Fei casually mentioned that Ma Tao had also gone home.

Gao Mu slapped her forehead and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng is here. I was so happy that I almost forgot that Principal Ma is going to treat me tomorrow!"

"It doesn't matter whether you forget it or not. It's my job anyway. I just need to remember it." Father Gao took a sip of his wine.

Gao's mother ignored her husband's complaints and said cheerfully: "Principal Ma's daughter is so good-looking and smart. She is recommended to the provincial medical university. She has to get a doctorate to graduate!"

"After graduating with a Ph.D., Xiaoyun must be almost 30?" Father Gao shook his head, "After graduating with a Ph.D., then getting married and having children, will she be too old?"

Gao's mother rolled her eyes at him: "I have an eight-year direct degree program, and I'm only 25 when I graduate! Do you have to worry about me?!"

"The richest man is the most talented woman in our town, a role model for every family in educating their children." Gao Fei said to Jiang Feng with a smile.

Jiang Feng held his chopsticks and hesitated a little, but finally couldn't help but ask him face to face: "Do you have a good relationship with little sister Ma Tao?"

"They are almost half brothers and sisters." Gao Fei gave her a large piece of meat, "Here, eat a piece of elbow to replenish collagen!"

Jiang Feng smiled and stopped asking about Ma Tao's sister.

…

The next day, as soon as it got dark, Gao Fei got up and ran to his family restaurant to help his father cook.

Ma Tao's younger sister, Ma Yun, was admitted to the Provincial Medical University's eight-year program in dentistry. Today at noon, she held a thank you banquet at the restaurant run by Gao Fei's father and invited many relatives and friends.

After 10 o'clock in the morning, when the Gao family father and son were busy preparing a banquet in the kitchen, Jiang Feng accompanied Gao's mother to the restaurant.

Gao Mu was busy doing business and greeting guests.

Jiang Feng held a cup of tea and sat alone at the cashier.

She could not recognize any of the men or women entering and leaving the restaurant.

Others stopped and looked her up and down, whispering about the time when a young and pretty proprietress came to Gaojia Restaurant...
