Chapter 521 - Grat.i.tude [1]

Xiao Guoqing's house was not far away, and there were many small roads in the countryside. Walking along a small path beside a pit, it would only take five to six minutes to reach Xiao Guoqing's house.

When they walked past the puddle that was already frozen over, Ji Feng couldn't help but slow down as he stared at the puddle.

Ji Feng pondered inwardly. In his mind, there seemed to be some memories regarding this water pit. Most of them were not very beautiful, and because he was still young at that time, the fragments of his memories were very vague.

”Cousin, what's wrong?” Xiao Yuanhui could not help but ask.

Shaking his head, Ji Feng stopped thinking about it. He said, ”It's nothing. Oh right, you can call me Ji Feng. You don't have to call me cousin anymore!”

”But, my aunt and father both told me to call you cousin …” Xiao Yuanhui awkwardly said. In his opinion, Ji Feng was a very powerful character. To have someone like him as his cousin, that was naturally very wonderful. Thus, in his heart, Xiao Yuanhui also wished for Ji Feng to be his cousin.

”Up to you!”

Ji Feng said noncommittally, ”Let's go!”

”Sigh!” Xiao Yuanhui nodded. ”Cousin, follow me. We'll be there soon!”

Ji Feng followed behind Xiao Yuanhui and arrived at the latter's house.

This was a typical rural family with a large courtyard. Although it was a bit messy, it was very quiet. There was a big yellow dog in the yard. When this big yellow dog saw Ji Feng, it couldn't help but grit its teeth.

”Go!” ”Move aside!” Xiao Yuanhui quickly chased Big Yellow away. He turned around and said, ”Cousin, this is my room. Come in and have a seat!”

Ji Feng followed his gaze and was immediately stunned when he discovered that Xiao Yuanhui's room was the room where the mahogany door was located. However, the mahogany door had already completely faded, and only a few faint red spots could be seen.

”Cousin, I heard from my dad that you and my aunt used to live here, so you moved away …” Xiao Yuanhui said, ”Cousin, are you and my aunt staying in the big city outside?”

Ji Feng nodded his head, ”That's right. It's in a big city, but the air there isn't as strong as the air in the countryside.”

His gaze was still fixed on the red wooden door. There was a pensive look in his eyes.

”Right, are you still in school?” Ji Feng suddenly asked.

Xiao Yuanhui stared blankly for a moment before nodding slightly. ”That's right. I'm in high school, at Mang s.h.i.+ Er.”

”Second High School?”

Ji Feng chuckled as he replied, ”That's not bad. Hmm, learn well. You should have a bright future ahead of you!”

”Cousin, are you still in school?” Xiao Yuanhui asked carefully. Although Ji Feng seemed like a big boss, from Xiao Yuanhui's point of view, he should not be much older than him.

Ji Feng nodded. ”Yes, I'm also in school!”

He paced up and down the yard, looked around, and asked, ”Where?”

”Oh, she should be picking up branches by now!” Xiao Yuanhui said.

Ji Feng lightly nodded his head. Right now, many fruit trees needed to be pruned in the winter. The branches that were cut off could be used as firewood, which was the favorite firewood of rural people.

”Let's go!” Ji Feng turned his body, as he faintly spoke. Coming here was only to confirm his guess. Now that everything was confirmed, there was nothing left to say. However, his att.i.tude gradually changed.

It seemed that Xiao Guoqing and his wife had not mocked him. Ji Feng vaguely remembered that he had indeed lived in Xiao Guoqing's house back then, and because he had been bullied and because he was afraid, he had to hide in this room by the red wooden door every day. He did not want to go out.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years had pa.s.sed …

Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. If possible, he would help Xiao Guoqing.

He sighed lightly. The grudges of the past were truly vexing. In fact, before he came to the Xiao family's village, Ji Feng had already made preparations. However, he did not expect that when he saw the old man who had insulted him back then, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

The so-called open-mindedness and underestimation were all lies!

At the very least, Ji Feng felt that it was impossible for him to accomplish this.

”Xiao Yuanhui, let's go out!” Since he was sure that the other party had done him a favor, then he would have to thank him in person. Moreover, he would have to do something to repay the other party's kindness, but that was all. To Ji Feng, the Old Xiao family was not his family.

Xiao Yuanhui looked strangely at Ji Feng's back and could not help but feel a little surprised. Why did this cousin that he had never met before give off a strange feeling to others as if he was very cold?

Even though he felt it was very strange, Xiao Yuanhui didn't dare to say anything. This cousin was a strong person, a scoundrel like Xiao Dashan, and he even had a strong son-in-law in the county. The cousin could only say one sentence: Didn't Xiao Dashan still have his four limbs broken?
