#1791 - I just need to do a little bit
Birds of a feather flock together.
This statement is absolutely true. When people live under the same roof, they will be subtly changed, and the same is true for the banker.
Father Zhuang, Grandma Zhuang, including the Zhuang Ganmei couple, and now even the next generation Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei, have all been raised with the same personalities and values by them.
Zhuang Chaoying felt particularly upset by what his younger brother Zhuang Ganmei said.
"Gan Mei, that's not what I meant. Why don't you understand what I mean? It's not that I don't let Zhendong drive. Driving is really dangerous. It's even more dangerous without a driver's license. Just ask Pengfei. He's a driver. He drives all year round and often sees car accidents. It's too dangerous."
Xiang Pengfei immediately said, "Uncle, what my uncle said is right. It is really dangerous to drive without a license. I have been driving with cars for the past two or three years and have seen too many car crashes and deaths. This is really no joke. If you are not careful and the car flips over, it can really kill people."
Everyone knew that Xiang Pengfei was a driver with rich driving experience, so after hearing what he said, even Zhuang Adie and the others, who were very dissatisfied, showed hesitation.
It is true that they want to go for a ride in the car, but they don't want to risk their lives.
Only Zhuang Ganmei was muttering: "It's not that dangerous. You've been driving for years and nothing has happened to you."
"Uncle, that's because I have a driver's license, and I learned from Uncle Qian and the others for several months before I dared to get in the car. Zhendong had never touched a car before, and it was too scary for him to get in the car for the first time."
Xiang Pengfei said, "How about this, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle, if you want to take a ride, then take my car. Brother Tuxi's car can only seat four or five people, but mine can seat more than twenty. It's no problem for all of you to get in, and I'll take everyone for a ride."
Zhuang Ganmei snorted, "Alright, Pengfei, who hasn't ridden in your minibus? We want to take a sedan. If it can't fit in one trip, we can take two trips. Brother, this is just a small wish of our parents. It's New Year's Day, and you can't even make the decision on such a small matter?"
Zhuang Chaoying felt a little embarrassed, but on one side were his parents and his brother's family, and on the other side was the most difficult youngest son in the family. He couldn't handle both sides.
Zhou Chen met Zhuang Chaoying's almost pleading gaze and nodded slightly.
"Okay, it's rare for dad and grandma to come here, and they also gave red envelopes. As the younger generation, we should show our filial piety. But I haven't slept well these days, and I'm quite tired. I can't drive. So, Pengfei, you drive my car and take dad and grandma for a ride."
"I?"
Xiang Pengfei was shocked. He was still thinking about how to help Zhou Chen refuse, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to agree first and even let him drive.
Zhou Chen just nodded, and then told Zhuang Xiaoting: "Xiaoting, my car keys are with you, give them to Pengfei."
Although Zhuang Xiaoting didn't know why Zhou Chen changed his temper, she still obediently took out the car keys from the desk drawer and handed them to Xiang Pengfei.
Xiang Pengfei took the key and looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled look.
However, Zhuang Chaoying was overjoyed and felt that his youngest son was particularly pleasing to the eye today. This was his, Zhuang Chaoying's, good son.
"Dad, Mom, Tusi is right. He hasn't slept well these days, so let Pengfei take you around. Pengfei has been driving a bus for several years, so his skills are definitely no problem."
Father and grandmother Zhuang nodded in satisfaction. They didn’t care whether Zhou Chen was driving or not. Their purpose was just to ride in a car and feel what it felt like for a leader to ride in a car.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Ganmei also smiled. They came here with a purpose today. The first step has been achieved. How far will the next step be?
"Okay, let Pengfei drive us."
After saying that, he urged: "Pengfei, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go now."
Xiang Pengfei was quite unhappy. He didn't have any good feelings towards his uncle. Seeing his smug look, he felt even more annoyed. But since Zhou Chen had agreed, he could only obey.
Zhou Chen said: "Let's take dad, grandma, uncle and aunt first. There's just enough space."
The four Zhuang family members and Xiang Pengfei certainly had no objection, so they all stood up and walked towards the door. However, the two younger ones, Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei, were a little unhappy because they did not catch up with the first batch.
When they reached the front of the car, Zhou Chen suddenly called Xiang Pengfei and said something in his ear. Xiang Pengfei's mouth corners curled up unconsciously, and then he whispered back.
"Don't worry, brother. I promise to give them a rare experience."
After returning home, Huang Ling asked Zhuang Tunan to greet his two cousins, and then called Zhou Chen to the back.
"Tusi, why did you agree so quickly today? You know they will push their limits."
She didn't mean to stop Zhou Chen from agreeing, but Zhou Chen agreed too quickly. Based on her understanding of those people, if they agreed too easily, they would become more demanding and would definitely make more requests later.
Zhou Chen said mysteriously: "Mom, when they come back later, just wait and see the show."
Huang Ling narrowed her eyes immediately: "Did you say anything to Pengfei?"
Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mom is really good. She guessed it right away. Don't worry, it won't be a big deal. It's just that they will suffer. If you want to take advantage, you will always suffer."
"You haven't changed at all after all these years."
"Not only have I not changed, they haven't changed either. My relationship with them has been like this, we have been calculating against each other all our lives."
Huang Ling remained silent. She didn't regret marrying Zhuang Chaoying. Although the Zhuang family treated her badly, if it weren't for Zhuang Chaoying, she wouldn't have three such good children. But it was not fair to her three children because the relatives on their father's side were more calculating than each other, and the environment she grew up in was too bad when she was a child.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So she often feels lucky that she grew up in such a family and none of the three children grew up abnormally, which is really rare.
Because her parents and younger brother came without prior notice, the lunch had to be reprepared. Knowing that she was in the wrong, Zhuang Chaoying went to the kitchen and started helping Huang Ling clean up and cook. She also gave Zhuang Xiaoting money so that she could buy more snacks from the store.
Although Huang Ling had some grievances against the Zhuang family, it was New Year's Day and the people had already arrived. Even if they were divorced, it was not because of Zhuang Chaoying but because of their three children. So she ignored them, but did not say bad things to them or chase them away. Instead, she invited them to stay for dinner.
About forty minutes later, Xiang Pengfei hurried back.
"Oh no, uncle, grandpa and grandma are carsick, they are vomiting all over the place, and they look very bad, you should go over and take a look."
When Zhuang Chaoying, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard this, she was startled and ran out in such a panic that she didn't even have time to take off her apron. The others followed her out.
When I arrived at the alley, I saw a ridiculous scene.
I saw Father Zhuang squatting on the ground, holding onto the wall, vomiting non-stop. Grandma Zhuang sat down on the ground with an ugly look on her face, as if she was seriously ill and had lost her energy. Zhuang Ganmei and his wife were not much better, both standing by the wall retching, and one could even see their legs trembling.
Zhuang Chaoying hurried to his parents and asked anxiously, "Dad, Mom, are you okay? What happened?"
Huang Ling also asked Xiang Pengfei the same question.
"Pengfei, what's going on?"
Facing the questions from his aunt and Zhuang Tunan, Xiang Pengfei tried hard to hold back his laughter and said in a calm tone, "It's nothing, they are just carsick. Grandpa and grandma are carsick. They just look scary, but it's actually a normal phenomenon. I often encounter this situation when I drive. Sometimes the car is full of vomit. In fact, this is the second time they have vomited. They vomited once on the road just now. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
"Car sickness?"
Huang Ling looked over there with suspicion. It's not like she had never seen people who get carsick before, but could they be so carsick?
Xiang Pengfei emphasized: "Although the dizziness was quite severe, it was indeed motion sickness."
Huang Ling did not expose him, but just glanced at Zhou Chen. She knew at once that it must be a collusion between Zhou Chen and Xiang Pengfei.
It's not like she had never ridden in Xiang Pengfei's car before. He was very stable when driving a minibus, so how could he drive a sedan and make four people dizzy like this? It was obviously intentional.
Seeing his parents being tortured to such an extent that they even stuttered when speaking, Zhuang Chaoying angrily yelled at Xiang Pengfei, "Pengfei, what's wrong with you? I asked you to take your grandparents for a ride in the car, why did you make them like this?"
"Uncle, I really am carsick. I didn't know that my grandparents have such a serious problem with carsickness. I didn't dare to drive fast." Xiang Pengfei looked aggrieved.
Zhuang Ganmei, who had recovered from the anger, turned around and cursed: "Xiang Pengfei, you little bastard, do you want to torture us to death? You drive like this, are you doing it on purpose, you little bastard?"
Xiang Pengfei complained: "Uncle, what you said is wrong. You are all my beloved relatives. How could I deliberately hurt you? It's just that I have always driven a minibus. This is the first time I drive this kind of car. I haven't changed some bad habits of driving a minibus, so I am not driving smoothly. Besides, there are many people on the road during the New Year, and children are running around."
Zhuang Ganmei gritted his teeth, furious. He was not a fool, how could he be deceived by Xiang Pengfei? But now that things had come to this, what else could he say? They were the ones who wanted to take a ride, and they were the ones who asked Xiang Pengfei to take them.
