Chapter 742: Chapter 742

Around 4:00 a.m., the plane arrived at Wenzhou Longwan International Airport.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng came out of the airport, found their checked luggage, and hurriedly rushed out.

Then, they saw Huo Mingshan, who had been waiting for them for a long time!

Actually, they hadn’t seen each other for just over a month, but seeing Huo Mingshan today still brought a strong surge of familial affection to the two of them!

It should be said it brought a great surge of familial affection to Pu Sangzhi.

"Sangzhi, Sangzhi, over here!" Huo Mingshan was shouting her name without ever calling Huo Feng.

Following behind Pu Sangzhi, with two suitcases in hand, Huo Feng’s brows were deeply furrowed, his face filled with disbelief as he looked toward Huo Mingshan.

Huo Feng thought: Old Huo’s favoritism is getting worse and worse! Or is his eyesight deteriorating? How could he not see such a big son? Does he only have eyes for his daughter-in-law?

Pu Sangzhi also quickly ran towards Huo Mingshan, directly leaving Huo Feng behind.

At that moment, Huo Feng’s brows were even more tightly knit!

Watching their enthusiastic reunion, Huo Feng seriously wondered... Is Old Huo his dad or her dad? Why does he act just like a father-in-law?

"Sangzhi, I haven’t seen you in so long, how did you get so tanned?"

Huo Mingshan spoke bluntly to Pu Sangzhi, and the reason his words were so unpleasant was that he already treated Pu Sangzhi like family.

Pu Sangzhi was instantly embarrassed by his comment, "I got tanned during military training."

"No worries, no worries."

Huo Mingshan patted her shoulder, saying, "Huo Feng got even darker than you, you still look a bit better than him."

While they were speaking, Huo Feng arrived with the two suitcases.

Barely hearing the name ’Huo Feng’ from Huo Mingshan’s mouth, and it was just to complain about him being tanned?

Huo Feng didn’t even feel like talking!

"Let’s hurry up and go, my car is outside. It’s been a tough journey, go home and get some sleep first."

After brief pleasantries, Huo Mingshan led them home.

Huo Feng was still the one carrying two suitcases, silently following behind Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi.

As a man, Huo Feng wouldn’t have thought to help him carry a suitcase!

Such gentlemanly manners indeed.

Soon, they reached the parking lot and got into Huo Mingshan’s car.

The car left the airport, heading back to Rui’an Tangxia.

On the way, Huo Mingshan, in a good mood, chatted with them, asking about their recent situation at school.

Of course, Huo Mingshan asked mostly about Pu Sangzhi, occasionally inquiring how Huo Feng had been doing lately.

Thankfully, he still remembered to mention Huo Feng occasionally, otherwise, Huo Feng would have dozed off in the car.

"Your mom, she began mentioning last night that she wanted to come pick you up with me today. But she kept yawning, couldn’t stay awake, and fell asleep."

Huo Mingshan also talked about the situation at home, "I used to think you were bothering me when you were at home, always in the way. But it’s been over a month since you’ve been back, and..."

Huo Feng interjected, "What? You missed me?"

Huo Mingshan nodded, "I’m too old to do the chores now, but it’s good you’re back. Let’s do a big cleanup together in the next few days."

Huo Feng showed his disgust by pursing his lips and squinting toward Huo Mingshan, "Are you that lazy, waiting for me to come back to do a big cleanup?"

Huo Mingshan replied, "I’ve been very diligent, really... I only come home once a week, it’s your mom who’s at home every day. She doesn’t do any chores despite being home all the time. The key is that she leaves a pile of chores for me every week when I come home. Anyway, my back can’t take it... You’re young, you do some work when you’re home."

Huo Feng didn’t want to continue that topic. Continuing would mean work! And unpaid labor at that! Just the thought felt like a loss!

Pu Sangzhi chimed in, "Teacher, you should rest, Huo Feng and I can do it together."

"That would make me feel bad..."

Huo Mingshan glanced at Pu Sangzhi in the rearview mirror, still saying this, but his eyes curved upward in an arc, looking quite pleased.

"It’s okay, I’ll be free at home anyway. My mom isn’t in Rui’an, she went out of town to look for my dad." Pu Sangzhi said.

"Well, that’s perfect then!"

Huo Mingshan suddenly seemed delighted, "Then you can stay at our place for the next few days. The guest room has been ready for a while, and the surveillance cameras are still there."

Seated in the back, Huo Feng simply couldn’t bear it any longer, "What do you mean, old Huo?"

Huo Mingshan, in a very good mood, just smiled and said, "You little brat, I’m getting old, I can’t argue with you anymore, I won’t bicker with you."

Huo Feng snorted, "You speak as if I want to argue with you."

He could never win an argument against Huo Mingshan in this lifetime...

Who made Huo Mingshan his real dad!

"You’ll be home for 6 days, right?" Huo Mingshan suddenly asked.

"Uh-huh," Huo Feng replied.

Huo Mingshan then said, "Take one day to visit your maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather. They both keep calling me, always asking about your situation. I told them to call you, but they say they can’t disturb you."

Huo Feng nodded, "Got it."

Huo Mingshan also told Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, go with him too. The old folks want to see you as well."

Pu Sangzhi nodded and agreed, "Okay, Teacher."

Pu Sangzhi also wanted to take this opportunity to buy some nourishing gifts for them using the red envelopes her grandfathers had given her back then.

She hadn’t touched a single penny of that money; she was saving it specifically to buy tonics as a way of giving back to the two elders.

She needed this opportunity.

Around 5:00 p.m., they returned to the Huo Family home.

Huo Mingshan parked the car, and the three of them took the elevator directly upstairs.

By the time they reached the Huo Family home, it was nearly midnight.

After arriving home, they each headed to their rooms, quickly washed up, and then went to bed to catch up on sleep.

In this sleep, Pu Sangzhi felt very secure and slept from 5:00 a.m. straight through to 11:00 in the morning...

October 1st, the first day of the National Day holiday, thus began—

Around 12:00 p.m., Pu Sangzhi had lunch at Huo Feng’s place.

After lunch, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng washed dishes together and discussed which household chores to do next and how to divide the tasks?

The two elders in the family, Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu, had made plans to play badminton with friends, so they left after eating.

Before leaving, the two seniors hypocritically expressed their regret as elders...

After all, there are hardly any families like theirs where the elders go out to have fun while the younger ones stay at home to do chores.

The more Pu Sangzhi integrated into Huo Feng’s family life, the more she realized, is this how Huo Feng has been living all these years?

It was precisely because of such upbringing that a Huo Feng was reared, proficient in all kinds of skills and adept in both the kitchen and the living room.

If Pu Sangzhi was to become Huo Feng’s wife in the future, she would definitely need to adapt to their family’s way of life in advance.

Thus, her choice was to do the chores with Huo Feng.

She wouldn’t be like the two seniors in the family, leaving all the household work to Huo Feng...

After they finished the dishes, Pu Sangzhi began to sweep the floor, while Huo Feng fetched water to clean the furniture. He disassembled everything at home that could be disassembled, cleaning everything thoroughly.

Pu Sangzhi noticed that he was really meticulous.

Meticulous enough that cleaning the furniture included filters inside the range hood, meshes inside the air conditioners, and even, the netting on the electric fans...

Seeing Huo Feng working up a sweat and stripping off his shirt, bare-chested as he moved around, his body exuded a strong masculine charm that was truly irresistible!

Pu Sangzhi suddenly recalled when she was in her freshman year of high school, Huo Feng once stayed at her place.

The next morning, he had tidied up the kitchen, fixed the bathroom heater and the fan, handling every trivial matter of life with care and diligence.

Back then, she thought Huo Feng did all of this to impress her, to find ways to show off!

But today she realized...

He was always : a refined and meticulous treasure of a boy.

"Have you finished sweeping?"

Huo Feng suddenly noticed that she had already swept every corner of the house and was about to start mopping, so he quickly called out to her, "Wait a moment, I’ll fetch the water."

"I can go myself," Pu Sangzhi said.

"Just sit there and wait," Huo Feng told her.

He pointed to the sofa, "The bucket’s too heavy, it definitely needs a man to carry it."

Pu Sangzhi looked at him somewhat helplessly, "I have carried a water bucket before, it can’t be that heavy."

Huo Feng waved dismissively and insisted, "Anyway, I’ll do the physical labor, no need to argue!"
