Chapter 471
After a night’s rest at the Yuncheng Hotel, early the next morning, Ji Feng and the others began to discuss the matter of rushing to Jinling.
Aunt Li Yueqin and her sister Li Yantong insisted that they must go to Jinling and were not willing to go to Yanjing and Jiangzhou, so naturally, Ji Feng could not say anything more and could only nod and agree.
Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei were also not good at persuading, after all, although they and Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter were already familiar with each other, but after all, they had only known each other for a day, moreover, no matter what, they were also considered outsiders, some words Ji Shaolei was not good at saying, they were naturally even worse at speaking.
In this way, Ji Feng arranged for Zhang Lei and Du Shaofeng in the dormitory to return to Jiangzhou from Yuncheng in the Land Rover, while Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei decided to stay behind.
So, Ji Feng drove the business car with Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei, as well as Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter, while Ji Shaolei drove the remaining Mercedes SUV, and together they rushed to Jinling.
It was a long journey from Yuncheng to Jinling, or at least not much less than the journey from Yuncheng to Jiangzhou.
Therefore, on this journey, Ji Feng raised the speed to the upper limit of the speed limit, and the comfort level of the Mercedes-Benz business car made Li Yueqin’s four people not feel half as seasick at all, but rather very comfortable.
Although the speed was raised to a high level, Ji Feng was distracted from time to time, he was hesitating how to place Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter after arriving at Jinling, this was indeed a problem that made Ji Feng extremely difficult.
This is indeed an extremely difficult problem for Ji Feng. Not to mention anything else, as of now, although Li Yueqin and her daughter brought all the things they had at home before, however, the most they had before was only the small shop of only 30 square meters. Moreover, the small shop has not been disposed of by now, how much money can they have on them?
In this situation, Ji Feng must give them help. However, what Ji Feng feared most was that they would not accept it!
From Li Yueqin’s words, one could tell that although Li Yueqin was often bullied and was just an ordinary woman, yet, she had a strong side. At least, from the way they insisted on not going to Jiangzhou and Yanjing, they were able to see that they wanted to retain their dignity!
In this way, they would have no source of funds, so how should they live in Jinling?
“Sister, I haven’t asked you yet, which school do you go to in Jinling?” Ji Feng asked as he drove on, pretending to be unconscious.
Li Yantong naturally didn’t have the slightest doubt and said softly, “At Jinling University, currently in the first year of graduate school.”
“So impressive?!” Ji Feng immediately smiled, Jinling University that was also an extremely famous university in China, no worse than the United University, and even some majors, were among the best in the country, with extremely high admission scores.
The fact that his sister Li Yantong had such good grades might be a sign that poor people’s children are early adopters.
Li Yantong spat her tongue out in embarra*sment and said, “I didn’t expect to get into Jinling University at first, I probably overachieved at that time.”
“That’s also because you usually have a better study foundation!” Ji Feng laughed: “What major did you study?”
“Law!” Li Yantong’s pretty face reddened slightly, “I don’t think I can do anything else either, it’s just that I have a pretty good memory and I can remember learning law.”
“That’s good too, in the future sister will definitely be a barrister!” Ji Feng instantly laughed, but in his heart he was a bit surprised, if you are a lawyer, you need to be a little tougher in your Xing character, can a gentle Xing character like sister be a lawyer?
“Not really.” Many of her cla*smates were a bit surprised by her choice.
She said softly, “I don’t plan to be a lawyer, it’s better to do some other legal work too!”
Ji Feng nodded slightly, there were also many categories of law majors, they didn’t all have to be lawyers.
“By the way, sis, you’re a graduate student, you should have some subsidies usually, right?” Ji Feng asked with a smile.
“There are some subsidies, but not many, it’s only when you usually follow your tutor to do some projects, usually the school sends some basic living expenses.” Li Yantong said gently.
Naturally, she didn’t know that Ji Feng was asking some questions in a roundabout way, actually wanting to ask her about her income before she could decide what kind of measures to take.
“That’s quite good too!” Ji Feng smiled faintly and then fell silent.
Ji Feng could not help but secretly ponder that from the current situation, it was similar to what he had imagined, Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter did not have many sources of funds, which could be heard not only from Li Yantong’s words, but in fact, from the way Li Yueqin and Li Yantong dressed, it could be seen that they were not very well-off either.
Auntie Li Yueqin was originally in her early forties, but because she was dressed very plainly and loaded with some drudgery, she looked a bit old, making Ji Feng’s heart sour when he looked at her.
Seeing Li Yueqin made Ji Feng think of his mother Xiao Sumei, when his mother was also the same, whether she was out selling vegetables or at home, she was the most ordinary dress like that, and even, some of her clothes still had patches on them ……
Even at New Year’s Eve, my mother only had a slightly relaxed look on her face, but her clothes hadn’t changed in the slightest.
Then look at sister Li Yantong, also the same, wearing the most ordinary jeans, the most ordinary down jacket, plain face.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, rubbed his nose, and slightly increased the speed of the car again.
“Tic tic! Tic-tac-toe!” The car’s speed limit alarm went off, and Ji Feng instantly came back to his senses, unhurriedly slowing down slightly.
“Ji Feng, don’t drive so fast ……,” Xiao Yuxuan said softly.
Ji Feng smiled apologetically: “Sorry, slightly lost in thought.”
Xiao Yuxuan instantly glanced at each other with Tong Lei, both saw the doubt in their eyes, to know that in the past, Ji Feng had never been distracted by driving no matter what time it was, today seemed a bit strange ah!
“Ji Feng, are you alright?” Xiao Yuxuan couldn’t help but ask with concern.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine!” Ji Feng smiled.
Seeing that Ji Feng was reluctant to say anything, Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei stopped talking, but were just a little worried, something was obviously not right with Ji Feng today.
Next, the two cars stayed in a service area for a few moments, and while Xiao Yuxuan and the others were getting out of the car and moving around, Ji Feng approached his second brother, Ji Shaolei.
The two of them each lit a cigarette and took two beautiful puffs.
“After driving for a few hours, it’s not a bad taste to have a cigarette now!” Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
Ji Shaolei, however, keenly noticed that Ji Feng’s expression was a bit off, and he immediately asked, “San’er, looking at you, you seem to be a bit less than excited, huh?”
“Auntie Li and the girls are …… very embarra*sed!” Ji Feng leaned against the car door and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “But it looks as if they don’t want to accept my help!”
Ji Shaolei suddenly lost his smile, “I thought what was going on, just such a small matter, and it’s difficult for you? I think you’re just being concerned, San’er, that’s not you!”
Ji Feng was stunned, “How so?”
“Silly, right?”
Ji Shaolei instantly smiled smugly, took a strong drag of his cigarette, and laughed heatedly, “Listen to brother tell you slowly ……”
“Putting on a show, right?” Ji Feng’s face instantly became unkind, “I had already thought about how to how to teach you kung fu, but now it looks like I’ll have to think about it ……”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Shaolei: “No need to think about it, isn’t it just a way? It’s not that simple! Listen, after arriving in Jinling, Auntie Li always needs a place to live, right? You can buy a house first, in your own name or in someone else’s name. Once the house is bought, whoever lives there is living there, as the saying goes, reaching out is not a laughing matter, besides, you should be more welcoming, don’t make people feel like they are living under a parasite, in that case, how can she not live there?”
“That’s right!” Ji Feng nodded vigorously, but then asked, “What about the money? They definitely won’t want money ……”
“It’s still the same saying, caring is confusing!” Ji Shaolei interrupted him directly, “Why do we have to give money?”
“Then give what?!” Ji Feng asked at once.
“…… Forget it, leave this matter to me, kid, learn something!” Ji Shaolei said directly.
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows and laughed: “Second brother, what are you going to do?!”
Ji Shaolei said, “Kid, listen carefully, from here to Jinling, it will take about six or seven hours, the journey is not short.”
“That’s right, but what does this road trip have to do with the solution?” Ji Feng asked in amazement.
“This next part of the journey, let’s go slower, well, it’s best to just reach the minimum speed limit.” Ji Shaolei said, “For the rest, know what to do, right?”
Seeing Ji Feng’s puzzled look, Ji Shaolei couldn’t help but say helplessly, “Kid, think carefully about who’s in Jinling!”
“Who’s in Jinling?” Ji Feng immediately frowned, puzzled, he didn’t know many people, moreover, most of his friends were met in the university, but he didn’t have any friends in Jinling ah, much less anyone he knew ……
Suddenly, Ji Feng seemed to remember something and asked with a frown, “Second brother, big brother is in Jinling?!”
“What do you say?” Ji Shaolei said in an unpleasant tone, “If I remember correctly, I once told you personally that big brother had been transferred at work and had gone to Jinling three months ago, you kid actually don’t remember?!”
Ji Feng suddenly smiled sarcastically, “Then what, there are too many things lately, maybe my brain is a bit confused, sorry sorry, second brother, you must not talk about it to big brother!”
“You kid just doesn’t have a conscience!” Ji Shaolei hummed and said, “Don’t worry, I already called big brother before I got on the highway, he’ll arrange everything when we get there. But, of course, I also have to give you kid a chance to perform, so the house will be yours to buy!”
“No problem! No problem!” Ji Feng was instantly overjoyed and his body was all relaxed, “Second brother, don’t worry, I’ll teach you kung fu when we get back to Jiangzhou!”
“I say, I dare say you’re using this as a trade, right?” Ji Shaolei suddenly grunted with an unkind face.
Ji Feng laughed and said, “No no …… that’s all, they’re all coming out of the toilet, time to get on the road!”
Chapter 472
It has been proven that having a wide range of contacts and connections makes it much easier to get things done. ()
This is what Ji Feng is experiencing right now. He has his big brother Ji Shaodong in Jinling, and even though he is only the district head of a district in Jinling, he is still a powerful figure. This is far better than Ji Feng’s own two eyes in the dark, came to a unfamiliar Jinling, full of confusion to do things.
Under the arrangement of his elder brother Ji Shaodong, Ji Feng and Li Yueqin were arranged to go to a hotel near Jinling University as soon as they arrived in Jinling, which was not under Ji Shaodong’s jurisdiction, but Ji Shaodong was completely at home here.
It was also in the hotel that Ji Feng met his elder brother, Ji Shaodong.
A few people inevitably had to exchange pleasantries, especially when Ji Shaodong saw Li Yueqin and Li Yantong, he had more than a few feelings in his heart. It is not easy for the younger generation to evaluate whether the older generation is right or wrong, after all, the social formations, customs and environment of the time are very different from the present, and one simply cannot look at the old issues from the present perspective.
Not to mention that the issue of love and marriage alone is enough to explain everything.
In the past, couples might not even hold hands once from falling in love to getting married, and some might not even meet each other, but nowadays, they might get into bed the first time they meet, and the next day they don’t know anyone …… This is the result of the difference in environment and social patterns, and again, it is very different.
Therefore, for the existence of Aunt Li Yueqin and Li Yantong, Ji Shaodong can only treat them warmly and arrange their lives as well as possible, including clothing, food, housing and transportation and so on, but other than that, he is no longer able to have any stance.
Criticising uncle in front of Li Yueqin? This is obviously unreliable, not to mention that uncle did the right thing at that time, just as a junior, he could not say anything more about uncle.
What’s more, this matter is also very helpless, the fault may still be on the grandfather, then Ji Shaodong can not say even more.
What happened back then might seem like a complete muddle now, so Ji Shaodong only warmly entertained Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter and, as the elder brother, asked about Li Yantong’s recent life and studies, and said nothing about other matters.
Originally, everything was going well, but when Ji Shaodong offered to provide accommodation for Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter, they refused.
“Big brother, it’s really not necessary, there is a special house for parents of students to rent near our school, we will let my mother live there when the time comes, it will be convenient for me to visit her” Li Yantong refused with a slight shake of her head at the gesture of her mother and daughter.
Ji Shaodong immediately laughed: “Yan Tong, do you think that it is appropriate to let auntie live in that kind of house? As far as I know, the kind of place you are talking about that specializes in renting houses, most of them are actually inhabited by civilian workers, all big men, and they are also civilian houses, how can you guarantee safety by letting auntie live there alone?”
“Well, there are women living there too,” Li Yantong said with some embarra*sment.
Ji Shaodong laughed: “Silly girl, no matter the men or women, the reason they live there is because the rent of that kind of house is very cheap, civilian workers are very hard, all year round they do not earn much money, naturally they do not want to rent too good a house …… but auntie is different, not to mention the other, if In the future, if some students want to play at your home, we can’t take people to that kind of chaotic place, right? How embarra*sing would that be?”
“This, this ……” Li Yantong couldn’t say anything at once.
Ji Shaolei and Ji Feng glanced at each other, while secretly praising, Big Brother is really high
Li Yantong no longer care about material life, but as a girl, the minimum reserve and slightly some vanity, that is always there.
Everyone is the same, when they hear compliments from others, their mouths may say, “Where, where, where, I’m flattered ……”
But their hearts are happy, as is the case with anyone, unless they know full well that the other party is saying the opposite, deliberately sarcastic, they will all be happy in their hearts.
Li Yan Tong is also the same, big brother Ji Shaodong’s words, so she can not help but have some intention in her heart, after all, if there are cla*smates to play see the kind of house they live in, the heart will always look down on some of them.
This is the way society is, many people are not the kind of people who can see through phenomena to the essence, in fact, the majority of people are people who judge people by their appearance.
Naturally, Li Yantong did not want to be looked down upon by her cla*smates, and she did not want her mother to suffer, but she did not have the ability to do so, and she did not want to accept Ji Feng and the others’ help, as she could not adapt to her status yet.
For a while, Li Yantong was in a bit of a dilemma.
“Anyway, I have a house near this university town, it’s idle, so you guys can move in” Ji Shaodong laughed, “Auntie, Yan Tong, you guys wouldn’t still treat me as an outsider, right?”
“No, no,” Li Yueqin hurriedly shook her head, Ji Shaodong calm atmosphere, there is an indefinable majesty in his body, so Li Yueqin simply can not treat him as a junior, talk is also a bit restrained.
Ji Shaodong smiled and said: “Then it’s settled, I will immediately send someone to arrange for you to move in …… In addition, auntie what work you want to do, you can also directly tell me, auntie can rest a*sured that I will certainly not interfere too much, just do not want anyone to bully you, that’s all. I believe Shao Lei and Xiao Feng and the others feel the same way.”
“Yes, Auntie, if you don’t think of yourself, you have to think of Yan Tong, right?” Ji Shaolei laughed.
Li Yueqin hesitated for a while and finally nodded, “Then …… that’s fine.”
Ji Feng instantly had a smile on his face and quietly gave a thumbs up to his big brother.
Ji Shaodong nodded and smiled, and immediately took out his phone and began to arrange for someone to help Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter with these matters.
In fact, after arriving at the house Ji Shaodong had mentioned, Ji Feng realised that it was fully furnished with furniture, home appliances and other living facilities, so there was no need to add anything before moving in. Moreover, the furniture in the house did not look luxurious, but Ji Feng could tell that they were not cheap, or at least the quality was absolutely excellent.
When Li Yueqin saw such a house, she couldn’t help but hesitate a little, but the enthusiasm of Ji Feng and the others made it hard for her to refuse and she could only agree to stay.
“Right, Yan Tong, I’ve already asked for you at school, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just a leave slip, you can just go to school tomorrow to cancel your leave” Ji Shaodong said again.
Li Yantong nodded with some embarra*sment and said softly, “I’m really bothering you.”
“A family does not speak of two families,” said Ji Feng with a smile.
After everything had settled down, Ji Feng was relieved that this matter had finally come to an end. With big brother in Jinling, I believe no one would bully them and I could feel a little more at ease.
The three brothers were together, naturally the atmosphere was very pleasant, especially when Ji Shaodong saw Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei, but also wide-eyed, laughing and cursing Ji Feng this kid’s voluptuousness.
……
The next morning, Ji Feng and the others said goodbye to Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter, as well as their elder brother Ji Shaodong, and set off on the road to Jiangzhou.
“Whew…”
In the business car, Ji Feng leaned back on the seat back, looking at the Jinling toll station in the rear view mirror gradually away, couldn’t help but let out a long breath, “Finally solved ……”
This time, first to Yuncheng, and then to Jinling, with the help of big brother and second brother, finally settled the matter, Ji Feng only feel all relaxed.
In fact, finding Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter this time was not as heartwarming as Ji Feng had imagined. Despite the fact that blood is thicker than water, he and his sister Li Yantong were not as close to each other as other siblings. Of course, there was also no awkwardness as previously thought, everything seemed to be normal.
But it was this normalcy that made Ji Feng’s heart a little uncomfortable, after all, according to his thoughts, he wanted to be closer to his sister, but now, there was still more or less a gap between the two of them.
However, Ji Feng didn’t have the slightest regret, because if he hadn’t gone to look for Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter, then the consequences would really be unthinkable. Those B*****ds from Zhou’s group, as well as Zhao Tie Min’s son Zhao Yongshou, and Zhang Zhiyuan’s father and son, were all beastly things.
With them around, Li Yueqin’s mother and daughter really didn’t know what would happen to them.
“So be it,” Ji Feng shook his head slightly and secretly said, “I hope time will wash away everything ……”
“Tic-tac-” just at this time, Ji Feng’s mobile phone suddenly rang, it was the sound of a text message, he casually took the phone out of his pocket and handed it to Tong Lei and Xiao Yuxuan who were sitting in the back row, “Help me see who sent it”
A small hand picked up the phone, and then Tong Lei’s brittle voice rang out, “It’s from Sister Yan Tong”
“Oh?”
Ji Feng’s spirits immediately lifted and he asked in a panic, “What did she say?”
“Little brother, be safe on the road, say hello to the two younger siblings on my behalf to ……, I will miss your sister, Yan Tong.” Tong Lei read out with some embarra*sment.
A slight arc pulled up at the corner of Ji Feng’s mouth, followed by an increasing arc and a smile covering Ji Feng’s face.
Xiao Yuxuan was also happy for Ji Feng as she said softly, “Little rascal, it seems that Yan Tong still has you as her brother in her heart, she just might be a little uncomfortable for a while, your relationship will definitely be good in the future”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Ji Feng laughed happily, the original depression in his heart was swept away and he was happy.
“Ding ……” Just at this moment, Ji Feng’s phone rang again, and he was stunned: “Is it my sister calling?”
“No, it’s an unfamiliar number.”
Xiao Yuxuan said strangely, “The number is 01XXX ……”
“A number from Yanjing?” Ji Feng instantly slowed down his car, “Give me the phone”
He took the phone from Tong Lei’s hand and as soon as he picked it up, a mid-toned voice came from the phone, “Little Feng, it’s me”
“Dad?” Ji Feng was stunned, “Dad, where’s this number?”
“My office,” Ji Zhenhua’s voice came, and he said, “How much longer do you have to arrive in Jiangzhou?”
“About three hours or less,” Ji Feng blurted out, and only then did he react, how did his father know he had left Jiangzhou ……
“The first time I saw you, I was in the middle of a conversation with a man who had been in the middle of a conversation.
“My mother is coming to Jiangzhou?” Ji Feng asked, his heart wondering, his mother came so fast, “Yes, I’ll drive straight to Jiangzhou airport.”
“Well, that’s it then,” Ji Zhenhua said, and then he hummed, “Brat, now you’ve learned to mind the adults’ business too But this thing is well done”
Pah!
The phone hung up, Ji Feng was stunned for a long time before he lost his smile dumbly, his father was praising himself?
