Chapter 955: Chapter 937: Lunar New Year’s Eve, Arriving at Sangzhi’s Home! (Part 4)
Though in the evening, the three of them stayed overnight at the hotel.
However, Huo Feng, due to waiting for Pu Sangzhi, took a phone call and expressed his longing for her.
Additionally, Pu Sangzhi comforted him, and Huo Feng’s mood improved later on.
At night, after a simple wash-up, the lights in the hotel room were turned off...
The three of them lay in the same room, Shen Yu, who was cuddling Huo Mingshan, suddenly felt sentimental, "Old Huo, it’s been a while since the three of us went on a trip like this together, right?"
"Yes, it’s been a long time."
Huo Mingshan gently patted Shen Yu’s shoulder, "After being married so long, we probably traveled only once? Just on our honeymoon trip, right?"
"Seems like it..."
Shen Yu nodded, "Basically, before having Xiaofeng, it was just the two of us going out to play. Later, when Xiaofeng was young, you only brought him to visit me at college during winter and summer breaks, which didn’t really count as travel..."
"I’m saying, we’ve been living too busily these years."
Huo Mingshan sighed, "If Xiaofeng hadn’t missed the train tickets this time, we wouldn’t have this sudden idea."
"Humph! It’s all your fault for being busy making money every time and not taking me on trips!" Shen Yu got annoyed, pinching Huo Mingshan’s waist.
"Ouch... it’s sore!"
The old couple’s teasing annoyed Huo Feng.
Huo Feng turned away from them, pulling the quilt over his head, "Your son is all grown up now, can you stop showing off your affection in front of me? It’s nauseating~"
Shen Yu, Huo Mingshan: "..."
Shen Yu asked Huo Mingshan, "Why didn’t we book two rooms?"
Huo Mingshan said, "Because the front desk said only one double room was left."
Shen Yu then commanded Huo Feng, "Huo Feng, you go sleep in the bathroom."
Huo Feng frowned in disbelief, "Huh?"
This old couple really doesn’t consider him their biological son anymore!
"Huo Feng, when do you plan to marry Sangzhi?"
Huo Mingshan suddenly launched a marriage prompt, hitting Huo Feng’s heart!
Upon hearing a topic he’s interested in, Huo Feng couldn’t help but turn around, pulling down the quilt and saying refreshingly, "Old Huo, I’d love to chat about this with you. My plan is, once the legal age is reached, I’ll take her to get a certificate during my junior year, what do you think?"
Huo Mingshan nodded, "Sounds good, make it happen quickly!"
Shen Yu also agreed, "It’s not urgent, it’s fine."
"You both agree, right?"
Huo Feng smirked, "Got my son’s new house money ready? There’s got to be a house to marry a wife, right?"
About this, Huo Mingshan proudly lifted his head, "You needn’t worry about the house, since you’re our only son, the money for the house surely..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng felt hopeful and immediately replied, "That’s great, Old Huo! Let me tell you, I’m planning to start a business in Beijing in the future, hurry and gather some money to buy me a house there to marry Sangzhi. It’s okay if it’s small, should be around three to four million! I believe you can do it! Hurry up~"
When the words fell, the entire room plunged into silence...
Time seemed to stand still...
After a while, Huo Mingshan grabbed a bottle of water from the table and threw it directly at Huo Feng!
In the dark night of the room, his sniper-like precision hit Huo Feng right on the head!
"Ah!"
A painful scream echoed through the air, and Huo Feng fell in response...
"You rascal!"
Huo Mingshan’s scolding voice rose up afterwards, "At a young age, you’re starting to bleed us dry! You want your mom and me to lower our living standards to buy you a house in Beijing! Don’t get married, just don’t marry!"
This time, Shen Yu didn’t stand by Huo Feng either; she firmly sided with Huo Mingshan, saying, "I think you should delay getting married. No need to rush to marry in junior year—you’re still students! Buying a house in Beijing is truly a good idea, young people should be ambitious. Get married at thirty! Maybe by then you’ll have already saved 3 million? If not, we can add a little more for you. That’s it, time to sleep!"
Huo Mingshan said, "Sleep, sleep, don’t talk to this kid Huo Feng, talking to him makes me so angry, I feel like hitting him!"
Huo Feng: "Um..."
As Douyin says: how else to know how much money parents have without pushing them a little!
Douyin is truly a spoiling influence!
Douyin, get lost!
...
As a result, the next day, the two usual laze-about’s, Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu, surely stayed in bed until they got up at 9:00 am!
Huo Feng, on the other hand, had already gotten up by 7:00 am to brush his teeth, wash up, and even bought breakfast to place on the bedside table for them, fed the cat, cleaned the cat litter...
After tidying everything...
He waited on the bed until 9:00 am when they leisurely rose!
Huo Feng knew his meeting time with Pu Sangzhi was getting further away... feeling awful!
That day at 9:45, they continued their drive...
It was a journey spent entirely on the road, although during service area stops, they did get off to rest, eat, and use the restroom.
Huo Feng kept chatting with Pu Sangzhi while on the car, often checking the GPS to see how much distance remained...
Still over 2000 kilometers left...
Huo Feng felt himself slipping into depression.
On Pu Sangzhi’s side, she was calm and not worried, continuously advising Huo Feng to relax and take it easy, as coming over a few days late doesn’t matter, and missing New Year’s is okay.
Under her gentle counsel, Huo Feng started feeling she was siding with his parents! She didn’t miss him at all!
And so, Huo Feng’s family of three slowly traversed the road for nearly three days, finally completing the journey of over 3300 kilometers!
On New Year’s Eve, 8:30 in the evening, Huo Feng’s family of three finally got closer to their destination...
The anticipation in Huo Feng’s heart grew more intense!
That New Year’s Eve night, the places their car passed had a strong festive vibe.
Many families were setting off firecrackers, with popping sounds accompanying children running through snowy lands, leaving footprints in the thick white snow, appearing cold but also very busy!
The festive atmosphere permeating everywhere!
This New Year’s vibe also fueled Huo Feng and his family’s excitement!
Around 8:45, Huo Feng’s family of three finally found Pu Sangzhi’s home!
Pu Sangzhi’s family of three stood waiting at the doorway, holding Little Fairy Sticks, both playing with fireworks and guiding them on their arrival...
"Ah! I see my Little Fairy!"
From afar, Huo Feng’s eyes locked onto Pu Sangzhi, calling out loudly, "Sangzhi, your dad is here... whoops, your husband is here!"
Shen Yu gave Huo Feng a strange look, sternly warning him, "Once we’re in someone else’s house, mind your words, don’t let on ’your dad’ or ’my dad’... if Sangzhi’s father hears you, I won’t intervene if he hits you."
"How could that be!"
Huo Feng waved it off, "I’ll perform in Sangzhi’s dad’s presence! I, Huo Feng, have never displeased an elder! Let me tell you, her dad will definitely like me!"
"You perform, do it for a lifetime if you have the guts."
Huo Mingshan countered Huo Feng, "Always looking for loopholes and bragging about yourself. I’m tired of watching you!"
"Hey dad!"
Huo Feng suddenly got tense, grasping Huo Mingshan’s shoulder, "Dad, before we get to her house, here are three rules: you must give me face! You can’t speak ill of me in front of Sangzhi’s parents, especially about my past as a small rascal! Those dark times can’t be mentioned!"
"Haha~"
Huo Mingshan smirked, "Now you finally realize how embarrassing your past actions were, and you don’t want your father-in-law to know about your time as a rascal. Let me tell you, you don’t want me to say it, and I don’t want to either! Bringing it up would also embarrass me, people would talk about parental failure, her dad will definitely think I didn’t teach you well!"
"Exactly!"
Huo Feng nodded vigorously, "So we can’t talk about it, give me a bit of face! Also, no hitting, scolding, insulting, or joking about me! I, a proud Tsinghua son, you should act proud of me!"
Huo Mingshan shook his head, "Being proud of you? No way!"
In Huo Mingshan’s mind... being proud of Sangzhi was the real deal!
