Chapter 986: Chapter 972: The Whole World Is Pushing for Marriage! (2)
After reaching a new business agreement with Yan Siyuan, Huo Feng is going to be quite busy.
Switching from a single-player game to an online game means the online features must be enhanced.
There’s an unchanging principle in online games...
The reason for putting the game online, with servers sharing all resources among players, is to let players interact or compete with each other.
They need to be able to chat, or a server leaderboard can be set up for players to see their own and their friends’ rankings...
Therefore, Huo Feng’s next challenge is to turn the initially simple single-player game settings into something more complex.
This is indeed an enormous challenge for him.
Strictly speaking, online gaming is a huge challenge for both him and Yan Siyuan.
The two of them are planning the tasks a studio needs to complete, and in terms of development, they have to rely entirely on themselves!
In the last two days of the Spring Festival holiday, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi have been busy with their own tasks.
The elders on both sides didn’t venture out much during the last two days of the holiday either.
They often check on the kids in Huo Feng’s room, seeing both busy with their work, a sight of mutual advancement that comforts the four parents.
Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu increasingly feel that their son Huo Feng is quite promising!
Pu Wenhua and Chen Huifen also increasingly believe that Sangzhi’s future is secure!
As for the future of Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng together, the parents are very optimistic!
Especially Huo Mingshan...
He even wishes the two kids could marry on the spot!
But there are still a few years to go before they reach the legal marriageable age...
These years, Huo Mingshan has to endure!
He might have to wait until every hair on his head falls out before they can get married...
...
The tenth day of the first lunar month was set as the day everyone would part ways.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng booked the afternoon train back to Beijing, and Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu were also planning to drive back to Wenzhou today, while Pu Wenhua and Chen Huifen would drive themselves back to Shuangya Mountain.
The comfortable and warm winter holiday quietly passed by...
Returning to their own places signaled the beginning of another year of striving.
Whether busy with career or studies, the beginning of a new year always calls for a fresh perspective to greet it!
By 11:30, six members of the two families had packed their luggage and checked out.
After having lunch at a restaurant near the hotel, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng loaded their suitcases onto Huo Mingshan’s car, who, along with his wife, drove them to the train station.
After that, Huo Mingshan and his wife would hit the highway, directly heading toward Wenzhou.
The Pu Wenhua couple originally planned to join in sending them off, but it really wasn’t necessary for them to take the extra journey.
So, the Huo couple convinced the Pu couple not to go along.
This way, at the restaurant entrance, the Pu couple had to bid farewell to Pu Sangzhi.
Huo Feng was behind loading the suitcase into the car, while Pu Sangzhi was hugging Chen Huifen tightly, feeling reluctant indeed.
Pu Wenhua stood by the mother and daughter, gently patting Chen Huifen’s shoulder, "It’s not like you won’t see them again, let the kids go. If you miss them later, going to Beijing is also convenient."
After hearing this, Chen Huifen slowly released her hug on Pu Sangzhi, and they stepped back from each other, "Xiaosang, take good care of yourself at school."
Pu Sangzhi obediently nodded, "Mm."
Chen Huifen then added, "Don’t have quarrels with Xiaofeng, don’t break up. You two should both take care, don’t let anything happen."
Upon hearing these words, Pu Sangzhi looked over at Huo Feng who was busy with the luggage, then turned back with a smile, "Mom, we’ll both be fine."
Chen Huifen nodded with relief, "Right now, I truly hope time flies by so I can see you two marry sooner. Teacher Huo can’t wait either."
Pu Sangzhi was a bit exasperated, "Mom, don’t rush."
Then, Pu Wenhua chimed in, "Xiaosang, actually, Huo Feng has excellent character, personality, and family background. He cares about you deeply, so it would be best if you two could make it to the end together; don’t make impulsive decisions."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Mm."
As she thought, after so many days of interaction among the families, her marriage to Huo Feng was practically set in stone.
Though they weren’t of age yet, both families already started urging for marriage.
Yet, because they weren’t of age, both families were quite anxious.
Everyone worried that she and Huo Feng might not last the remaining few years...
Thinking about this, Pu Sangzhi didn’t take the elders’ worries seriously, she just felt... they actually made her a bit eager...
A sudden urge to marry Huo Feng early arose.
"By the way."
Pu Wenhua seemed to have remembered something, "Once you’re back at school, check on Xiaoxi. How’s his mood? Has he recovered?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and nodded, "Mm."
Of course, she only agreed for the moment; actually going to Brother Ye Xi made her nervous...
Because, only she knew, Brother Ye Xi left because of her.
She wanted Brother Ye Xi to get over her soon, so she couldn’t easily go find him.
Before her, Pu Wenhua sighed, "At that time, tell Xiaoxi that I’ll be handling that woman’s case. I’ll attend the court session with his mother, and he can come if he wants, it’s no big deal if not. Just tell him not to let that awful woman affect him anymore."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Okay."
Pu Wenhua thought for a moment and then nodded again, "Nothing else to add, go ahead. Huo Feng is waiting for you."
Chen Huifen also said, "Go on."
Only then did Pu Sangzhi wave goodbye to her parents, reluctantly turned around, and rushed to Huo Feng.
At that moment, Huo Feng was waiting by the car door, and when he saw her approaching, he opened the door for her to get in, while also bowing to bid farewell to the Pu couple.
"Uncle, Aunt, we’re off, goodbye."
Having said that, Huo Feng turned around and got into the car.
"Old Pu, we’re off, next time you come to Wenzhou!" Huo Mingshan also bid them farewell.
"Alright, take care, drive safely."
Pu Wenhua waved goodbye too.
Finally, they saw off Huo Feng and his family as well as their daughter.
Watching the Huo family’s car vanish into the distance, Pu Wenhua and Chen Huifen felt like they had just married off their daughter.
Chen Huifen’s eyes were slightly wet, and she sighed softly, "This is perhaps what they mean by ’Having grown daughters is like having water that you can’t keep’."
Pu Wenhua put an arm around her shoulder, nodding in agreement, "Then don’t keep her. As long as she is happy."
Chen Huifen: "Mm."
...
Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi finally got the rare chance to sit in the Huo family’s car, and the atmosphere was just great.
This winter holiday, after the long drive by the Huo family to see them, Pu Sangzhi always commuted in her father’s car.
As a result, Huo Mingshan never got to have a heartfelt conversation with Pu Sangzhi.
Finally, before leaving, he had this opportunity, and it made Huo Mingshan absolutely delighted!
"Sangzhi, you haven’t really had a proper chat with me these days."
Huo Mingshan teased with a smile, making Pu Sangzhi feel quite bashful.
"Teacher, is there something you want to say?" Pu Sangzhi nervously asked.
"Actually, nothing important, just haven’t talked enough with you. Hehe..."
Huo Mingshan laughed, "Sangzhi, marry into our family soon. Your parents agree, you know!"
Receiving the third wave of marriage urgings, Pu Sangzhi bashfully nodded and mumbled, "Mm..."
Next to her, Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, watching her with interest and not offering any help!
"How old is Sangzhi this year?"
Shen Yu, who was in the front seat, suddenly inquired.
"Auntie, after this New Year, I’m 20 in lunar age." Pu Sangzhi replied.
"Oh~"
Shen Yu nodded, "Then you’re almost there, the legal marriage age for girls is 20 years. After your birthday next year, you can marry."
Pu Sangzhi was embarrassed, "Ah..."
At this point, Huo Mingshan said, "Sangzhi will be ready, but not Huo Feng. For males, it’s 22 years."
"Mm~"
Shen Yu nodded again, "Then Xiaofeng is holding it up."
In the back seat, Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "What? How can I be holding it up! If I hadn’t been in the same grade as Sangzhi, I couldn’t have pursued her!"
Shen Yu was amused by Huo Feng’s words, "Haha, true enough. If you hadn’t repeated your third year, you wouldn’t have met Sangzhi. You’re lucky to be a year older because of that, so two more years, and marriage it is."
"That’s right~" Huo Feng said proudly, raising his eyebrows.
"Haha, soon, soon."
Huo Mingshan laughed heartily, "Gotta start saving for your wedding."
Such a scary topic...
Pu Sangzhi didn’t know how to join in.
She wondered if the whole world joined the marriage urge!
