Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 151 - 145. Huo Feng and his grandfather! (1)

When Huo Feng brought Pu Sangzhi to his grandfather’s house, Shen Jianhua and his wife Xu Cui’e were still busy preparing lunch.

It was a five-story residential building, the kitchen was located at the back door on the first floor, and coincidentally, Huo Feng’s small electric scooter was also parked at the back door.

As soon as the electric scooter stopped, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi could already hear someone calling them from the small kitchen window.

"Xiaofeng is here."

That was Huo Feng’s grandmother Xu Cui’e, her gaze passing through the window and fixing on Huo Feng outside, while she called out not too slowly, "Old Shen, Xiaofeng is here, go and greet him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianhua quickly put down the half-washed vegetables, wiped his wet hands, and happily went out to welcome them.

"Grandpa, Grandma, your eldest grandson has come to see you."

Huo Feng called out as he got off the bike, his loud voice bringing forth a festive atmosphere.

Sangzhi stood behind Huo Feng, feeling somewhat uneasy as she observed the scene and Huo Feng’s grandparents’ house.

She didn’t know why, but Huo Feng always ended up bringing her to visit his family.

Unlike the outgoing and sociable Huo Feng, Sangzhi wasn’t good at interacting with elders, and so she was genuinely nervous...

"Boy, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting all morning; I almost thought you were going to stand up your grandpa!"

Shen Jianhua walked out of the back door beaming, enthusiastically waving at Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, "Come on in, come on in."

"Grandpa, look at you, waiting for what! If I said I’d come then I definitely would, I’m not someone who doesn’t keep his word."

Huo Feng rattled on as he led Pu Sangzhi toward Shen Jianhua.

Carrying cooked food in his left hand and a watermelon in his right, he approached Shen Jianhua and handed over the food quite familiarly, "Here, I specially bought some pig’s head meat for you to drink with. How’s your grandson, huh?"

Shen Jianhua grinned as he took the pig’s head meat, "You kid, it’s enough you came, why bring anything? Your grandmother has cooked a whole table of dishes, and look what you’ve brought."

Huo Feng replied, "This is for you to drink with, not for me to eat with. I came to eat Grandma’s cooking, not the pig’s head meat. And this watermelon, we’ll open it up later, fruit for after the meal."

Shen Jianhua’s happy phoenix eyes squinted into slits, "Good, good, good, that’s thoughtful of you, hurry on inside."

Afterward, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were delightedly ushered into the house by Shen Jianhua.

As soon as they entered the house, Huo Feng asked Pu Sangzhi to sit in the living room while he rolled up his sleeves to help his grandmother.

Sangzhi, not feeling it right to just sit in the living room, and not great at dealing with elders, had no choice but to stick close to Huo Feng, offering to stay and help in the kitchen as well.

Both of them were very considerate, and Shen Jianhua couldn’t shoo them out of the kitchen.

In the end, Shen Jianhua and Xu Cui’e were instead nudged aside by the two of them. The stove and the sink were completely handed over to them.

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were both people who usually cooked, very familiar with the kitchen and cooking.

Huo Feng took charge as the main cook, with Pu Sangzhi assisting, washing and cutting vegetables. Their figures moved around the kitchen in unison, their coordination silent but perfectly in sync.

Standing behind in the kitchen, Shen Jianhua and Xu Cui’e quietly watched the two kids, and when their eyes met, they could each see the meaning in the other’s eyes and couldn’t help but exchange a smile.

Just having stir-fried a dish of shredded potatoes with meat, Huo Feng simmered it on low heat for a minute, then slightly lifted the lid and used chopsticks to pick up a strand of potato, his hand ready underneath, turning to Pu Sangzhi, "Come on, try this and see."

Sangzhi, without thinking, opened her mouth and caught a strand of the hot potato, chewing it a few times, "Hmm... it’s a bit bland."

"No problem, we’ll add some soy sauce to adjust."

Huo Feng said as he took the soy sauce, opened the bottle, and was about to add seasoning when Pu Sangzhi stopped him.

"Hey, hold on, you should try it too. My taste tends to be on the heavier side, and your grandparents might not necessarily like such strong flavors," she said.

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows with a smile, "I also tend to eat on the heavier side, now what?"

From behind, Shen Jianhua and Xu Cui’e spoke up in time, "It’s okay; just go with your tastes. We don’t eat bland usually either."

With that, Huo Feng finally sprinkled some soy sauce into the dish and at the end added a bit of water starch to thicken the sauce...

A dish of shredded potatoes with meat that Pu Sangzhi liked was thus completed.

At mealtime around the dining table, the four of them were served with six dishes and a soup, each dish abundant in quantity, featuring fish, meat, and vegetables, colorful and nutritious, looking very inviting and appetizing.

Shen Jianhua had also prepared cola for the children, particularly pouring a big glass for Huo Feng.

Huo Feng also poured wine for Shen Jianhua, creating a joyous and lively atmosphere around the dining table.

Shen Jianhua and his grandson Huo Feng got along famously, eating while conversing with such interesting dialogue that Pu Sangzhi and Xu Cui’e couldn’t help but laugh.

During the meal, Pu Sangzhi had a pretty good appetite, finishing a large bowl of rice, drinking a bowl of soup, and even having a glass of cola.

After the meal, Huo Feng prepared to leave with Pu Sangzhi since he had to review in the afternoon and thus needed a nap at noon.

Shen Jianhua escorted them out the back door, and as Huo Feng was inserting the key into his electric scooter, Shen Jianhua asked him, "Do you still have enough money to spend? Don’t you want to ask Grandpa for some?"

Huo Feng chuckled, hurriedly took out his wallet, and upon opening it said, "It’s enough, look, there’s still over 100. I can survive next week!"

Seeing that his wallet had only one 100-yuan bill left, Shen Jianhua immediately took out his own wallet and insisted, "100 yuan is not enough! You’re a boy, you have larger expenses. Grandpa will give you a few hundred more, just don’t tell your dad."

"No, no need..."

While Huo Feng verbally declined, his actions were the complete opposite, his wallet now bulging, and yet he guiltily said, "Grandpa, you don’t earn money easily either. I don’t feel good about always taking money from you!"

Shen Jianhua countered, "What are you talking about? I’m your grandpa, giving you money is my duty!"

While saying this, Shen Jianhua began to pull bills out of his wallet...

Huo Feng’s gaze was fixed on the movement of Shen Jianhua’s hand withdrawing the bills, one, two, three...

He was very pleased inside, but his mouth still protested, "Grandpa, really, there’s no need! I truly have enough!"

Despite saying that, Huo Feng’s wallet was stretched wide open—his actions a stark contrast to his words!

On the side, Pu Sangzhi watched his contradictory behavior, her lips pursed, unable to suppress a smile.

"Here, take 500,"

Shen Jianhua handed over 500 yuan generously, stuffing it straight into Huo Feng’s gaping wallet.

While giving the 500 yuan, Shen Jianhua also said, "I’m giving you a bit less this time, to avoid giving you too much and having you not come next time."

Huo Feng frowned and replied, "What kind of talk is that? Even if Grandpa doesn’t give me money, I’ll still come to see Grandpa. Look at what you’re saying, take the money back, I really don’t want it!"

Shen Jianhua laughed heartily at Huo Feng’s antics, pushing his wallet, "Alright, I know what’s in your heart, boy. Take it and get going, get going!"

Only then did Huo Feng happily pocket his wallet, a delighted smile on his face, "Grandpa, I’m taking off then. I’ll come and see you and Grandma when I have time."

"Ah, remember your words!"

Shen Jianhua pointed at him while laughing, "If you don’t come within half a year, I’m cutting off our grandparent-grandchild relationship."

Huo Feng nodded, "Of course! If I don’t visit you as a grandchild within half a year, you can come at me with a knife."

Shen Jianhua: "What nonsense! Get going, get going..."

After a warm and friendly farewell, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi got on the electric scooter and left together.

Not long after the scooter set off, Pu Sangzhi, sitting behind Huo Feng, couldn’t help asking him, "Do you usually ask your grandpa for money like that?"

Huo Feng, leading the way, laughed at her question, "Pretty much."

Pu Sangzhi also chuckled, "You really put on an act. You say you don’t want it, but your wallet is wider than anything. Can’t your grandpa see through your routine?"

Huo Feng replied, "How can he not see through it? It’s just doting love. I was raised in Grandpa’s doting love. The love that my dad doesn’t give me, Grandpa gives me double. So I tend to be a bit arrogant in front of him. And he’s not like my dad. My dad would whoop me with a shoe if I acted brazenly, but Grandpa usually indulges me and even goes along with my act."

Mid-sentence, Huo Feng suddenly burst into an impromptu song, "I should play blind to your show, making someone who loves you the most perform on the spot. When did we start to hide our bottom line..."

Pu Sangzhi patted his shoulder, "Hey, focus on driving, stop singing!"

Huo Feng frowned, "Tsk, why don’t you like my singing? I sing so well! If I went out and sang while playing an instrument, people would throw money at me!"

Pu Sangzhi laughed, "I won’t throw money at you, so stop singing."

Huo Feng: "Pu Sangzhi, you just don’t get my charm point!"

Pu Sangzhi smiled without saying a word, not picking up the conversation.

In fact, Huo Feng had become quite charming now, and Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to get to know him any more...
