After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 549 The Rebirth of a Noble Concubine from a bygone era (Part 24)

When it came to her most beloved second son, Xiangxiang was extremely unhappy and firmly opposed Feng Jiayu going to the countryside.

Seeing his mother's angry expression, Feng Jiayu's initial determination to go to the countryside immediately became somewhat hesitant.

Feng Changqing quickly pulled his wife into his arms and gently comforted her, "Alright, if the second son doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to. Let Chengxi go too. He's the eldest in our family, so it's only right that he helps his younger siblings. Besides, he's an adult now, so we'll feel more at ease if he goes to the countryside."

Feng Chengxi, who had just stepped into the house, paused when he heard his father's words, but quickly recovered. Apart from Lu Xiaoqin beside him, no one saw him. Feng Chengxi walked into the house as if nothing had happened.

The elderly couple, Xiangxiang and her husband, were comforting each other and didn't notice the two people who came in through the door. But Feng Jiayu saw his older brother and the girl behind him.

Feng Jiayu remembered what his father had just said, and felt a little embarrassed facing Feng Chengxi, but he still greeted him politely.

"Big brother is back! Hello, Xiaoqin!"

Feng Zhaoning and Feng Chengyu greeted the two of them politely.

Lu Xiaoqin's family lived in the government compound next door. Her father was a well-known diplomat and an old comrade-in-arms of Feng Changqing, with whom she had fought on the battlefield.

Over the years, the two families have maintained frequent contact, so their children are quite familiar with each other.

Lu Xiaoqin wore two cute braids and a crisp white shirt with blue cargo pants, looking particularly clean and neat.

She is gentle and beautiful, and now she has a bright smile. Her eyes are like sparkling almonds, both gentle and lively, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her gaze is full of friendliness.

Upon seeing Xiangxiang, Lu Xiaoqin beamed and greeted her sweetly, "Aunt Xiangxiang, it's been so long! You've become more and more beautiful."

As Xiaoqin spoke, her eyebrows curved like a gentle crescent moon, her lines soft and flowing, giving her a particularly gentle and graceful appearance.

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the little girl's hand, stroking it repeatedly. "You little girl, you have such a sweet tongue. Every time I see you, you always tell me I've become more beautiful. According to you, it's been more than ten years. Does that mean I must be as beautiful as an angel?"

When Xiangxiang heard the second brother's greeting, she quickly composed herself while Feng Changqing was blocking her way.

Seeing the youngest daughter of the Lu family, he couldn't hide his joy. This girl had grown up with the second son and his siblings since she was little.

Xiangxiang once joked with her mother that she wanted to arrange a marriage between her and her second son. Unfortunately, Xiaoqin was very sensible from a young age. As soon as she heard that she was going to be paired with Feng Jiayu, she jumped up and down and refused to agree no matter what.

Xiaoqin hugged Xiangxiang's arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt Xiangxiang, you are as beautiful as an angel. Every time my mom meets you and comes home, she nags us for a long time, saying that Uncle Feng is too old to be a good match for Aunt Xiangxiang. But I say, how can he not be a good match? Uncle Feng is the most handsome man in our area. He and Aunt Xiangxiang are a match made in heaven. Don't you think so, Uncle Feng?"

Feng Changqing nodded seriously and said in great agreement, "Xiaoqin is absolutely right. I think your dad said that, not your mom."

Xiaoqin deliberately pretended to have been caught, raising an eyebrow. "You saw right through me? I was trying to save face for my dad, but you said it so bluntly. Where does that leave my dad's pride? He's always been jealous that you married such a beautiful wife, and it's even made my mom jealous!"

Feng Changqing burst into laughter at Xiaoqin's antics. The tense atmosphere in the Feng family just moments before dissipated with a cheerful interruption from Lu Xiaoqin.

Feng Zhaoning, watching from the side, stepped forward somewhat resentfully and grabbed Xiaoqin's arm, pouting as she said, "Well, since Xiaoqin came to our house, I, the only girl, have been neglected. Xiaoqin has to make up for my wounded little heart, or I won't let it go."

Xiaoqin was very generous, "Okay, just tell me what you want, and I'll take you to the state-run department store to pick it out later."

Zhao Ning didn't want to go to the store. "What's so good about state-run stores? All the good stuff is at Uncle Lu's place. I'm not going to the store, I'm going to your house."

"That works too. My dad brought back a lot of cool stuff I've never seen before. We'll..."

As soon as the two girls started talking about something new, they completely forgot about the Feng family members standing next to them. Xiangxiang and Feng Changqing exchanged a glance, both feeling a little helpless.

After the two little girls finished their chatter, the whole family was already sitting in the living room. Xiangxiang remembered the nonsense she had said in a fit of anger earlier, and now she looked at her eldest son and felt quite embarrassed.

Feng Chengxi remained quite calm. After all, he was used to his mother's favoritism, even though she always pretended to treat him and his younger siblings equally in front of him.

But when it comes to crucial moments, Mom will reveal her true colors; some of her subconscious words and actions simply cannot hide her favoritism.

At first, Feng Chengxi was a little sad, but now he doesn't care at all.

However, Feng Changqing, being a man, didn't feel any pressure. He knew that his wife would always feel somewhat distant from their eldest son because she had missed ten years of maternal love.

Although as the pillar of the family, he sometimes had to let Chengxi suffer some grievances for the sake of family harmony, he would naturally make up for it in other ways.

Xiangxiang looked at Chengxi and said with a smile, "Chengxi, I just blurted it out without thinking. You already have a job, how could it be your turn to go to the countryside?" Xiangxiang's words were full of apology.

Feng Chengxi smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, Mom. I know you didn't mean anything by it. I came back today to bring my girlfriend back to meet you."

Feng Chengxi's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Feng Changqing's, looked at Xiangxiang with a mixture of tolerance and joy. His eyes remained calm as still water, and his words of indifference were merely a habit.

Xiangxiang only heard the first half of Feng Chengxi's words and didn't pay attention to the rest, while Feng Changqing's attention was all on his wife and he didn't pay attention either.

In front of the children, Feng Changqing grabbed his wife's hand and comforted her, "Alright, Chengxi is the most sensible one. He won't hold it against you, his mother. Just relax."

Feng Jiayu chimed in, "That's right, Mom. I'm a man who can stand on my own now. I can definitely take on the responsibilities that are mine. Besides, when I said I was going to be an educated youth, I was actually going to become an official. My dad has already arranged a job for me. I'll go to the communes below for a few years to gain experience, and then I can be transferred back after those few years. I won't suffer."

Xiangxiang subconsciously looked at Feng Changqing, "Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Xiangxiang was still a little skeptical. If that was the case, why didn't the father and son tell her in the first place?

Feng Changqing nodded firmly, "I really didn't lie to you."
