My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 787: Bro, Where’s Your Taxi?

It seemed as though the children had conspired together, because in less than ten minutes, Lin Feng’s account ballooned by 400,000.

The last one was Xiao Bao, who transferred 50,000.

Xiao Bao wasn’t as successful in her career or as financially independent as her older siblings, but she had her own allowance of almost 300,000. Her family never interfered with how she spent it, whether it was on shopping or anything else.

While other children in middle school were still asking their parents for pocket money, Xiao Bao already had everything she needed. Lin Feng saved the leftover money, thinking the children could use it to start a business or for something else when they were older.

Having received his children’s monetary greetings, Lin Feng’s mood pragmatically improved. Hmm, that’s just how realistic he had become.

Even his parents noticed. "You seem to be in a good mood. Did something happy happen today?"

Lin Feng smiled. "I had a sweet dream."

A short while later, Zhang Yuxi finished getting ready and glanced at Lin Feng with a knowing smile.

"You’ve been posting passive-aggressive updates on your Moments since last night. What’s wrong?" she asked in a teasing tone, clearly already aware of the reason.

Lin Feng cleared his throat. "It’s nothing. Let’s eat!"

Xiao Bao yawned as she came downstairs, her heart aching at the loss of 50,000. Her main focus was on her studies right now, so she hadn’t been making much money from acting.

"Dad, good morning."

"Good morning, Xiao Bao. Come and eat, you need to head off to school soon."

Xiao Bao smiled. "Mom doesn’t need to take me to school today. Fourth Brother is."

At that moment, their sunny Fourth Brother came downstairs, greeting everyone with a smile.

Zhou Cuilan exclaimed, "All of our children have grown up to be so good-looking!"

It’s often said that athletes tend to dress sloppily, looking like ascetics. But Fourth Brother was different; he always made sure to look sharp and cheerful every day.

"Dad, what are you doing today?" Xiao Bao asked. "Are you going to drive for work?"

Lin Feng paused, then remembered, hesitating a little.

Xiao Bao smiled encouragingly. "If you think it’s fun, just go for it. We’re not expecting you to earn a lot of money anyway. Being happy is the most important thing."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Alright. I’ll drive for the day and take the opportunity to tour around the city."

Now that Xiao Bao was in middle school, Lin Feng rarely went out for fun, except for trips during the holidays.

A thought struck Xiao Bao. "For Chinese New Year this year, I want to go skiing in Donghae Road."

Their family owned a five-star hotel there, which included a private ski resort they hadn’t visited in a year or two.

"Or we could go to Nel Island..."

That was their family’s private island, which they also hadn’t been to in a year or two.

Lin Feng reminded her, "Have you forgotten that your Eldest Brother and Cai Xia are getting married over the New Year?"

"I need to start discussing the preparations with her family in the next few days—how much the betrothal gifts should be, how everything should be arranged..."

They had experience with marrying off a daughter but not with welcoming a daughter-in-law. Still, the process was largely the same since both families were in Jingcheng.

Zhang Yuxi chimed in, "I have the day off tomorrow, so we can discuss it then. Or we could just make a trip to Jingcheng."

"It’s a Saturday and Sunday, so Xiao Bao won’t have school. Fourth Brother is home too, so he can look after her."

"I don’t need looking after! I’m already in middle school," Xiao Bao protested. "Besides, I can go with you."

"How about this," Fourth Brother suggested. "I’ll go with you all. It’s a quick flight from Yangcheng to Jingcheng. I can visit Eldest Brother and Second Sister before heading back."

With that, the plan was settled.

Zhou Cuilan smiled. "In that case, your father and I will move back to the old house today."

"I’ll drive you," Lin Feng offered.

After breakfast, Lin Feng packed some food, then drove his parents to buy some vegetable seeds before heading to their old home in the countryside. One shouldn’t underestimate the countryside; its development was now on par with the cities, with paved roads leading right to their door. The drive only took Lin Feng forty minutes.

The house was being looked after by their neighbors and the village chief. Because their son was the famous Lin Feng and their grandchildren were all successful, everyone in their home village treated them exceptionally well. This was partly due to the simple and honest local customs, and partly because many people hoped to ask Lin Feng for a favor someday. Lin Feng was generous with small requests that required little effort on his part. But if it was something he didn’t want to get involved in, he wouldn’t hesitate to refuse.

Upon their arrival, a neighbor hurried over, beaming. "You’re back! Why not stay at your son’s place a bit longer? We’ve been keeping an eye on the house for you."

Zhou Cuilan laughed. "We’ve stayed long enough. I was looking forward to doing some farming."

As Lin Feng was leaving, the neighbor brought over some local products like peanuts and free-range chickens.

"You have to bag these up properly so they don’t get your multi-million-yuan car dirty. You’d have to get it washed otherwise."

"I know your family doesn’t need these things, and you can buy anything with money these days, but this is a small token of our appreciation. Please take it."

Lin Feng thanked them profusely.

The neighbor sighed. "You’re nothing like Chen Laowu from the Third Squad. No wonder you’ve made it big and all your children are so successful."

Lin Feng didn’t know who that was, so Zhou Cuilan explained.

"That Chen Laowu has made a fortune from contracting projects these past few years. They say he’s worth tens of millions, if not over a hundred million. He spent one or two million to build a huge villa back home and now he looks down on everyone..."

Lin Feng just grunted, having no impression of the man. The neighbors and the entire village held Lin Feng in high regard, not just for his wealth and success, but because he had used his money to do many practical things for his hometown. He hadn’t put in the physical labor, but he had spent a lot of money, and the villagers remembered his contributions. He helped families in need and even assisted some of their children in finding jobs. Every time he returned, people would flock to give him chickens, ducks, eggs, and sweet potatoes. The countryside didn’t have much of value to offer, but they gave what they could.

Well, speak of the devil.

With a trunk full of gifts, Lin Feng finally headed home after lunch. Back in the village, the conversation had taken a morbid turn, leaving everyone sighing.

"A person just falls, and they’re gone," someone lamented. "We were just chatting with him before he left. Who would’ve thought he’d pass so quickly?"

Back home, Lin Feng started unloading the car. He accidentally crushed a few eggs, and since the bag they were in had torn, the mess spread all over the trunk. After cleaning everything up, he drove to the car wash.

Once the car was clean, Lin Feng downloaded an app called "Taxi Convenience." After a quick setup, he officially became a driver and, to his surprise, immediately snagged a ride request.

... Lin Feng was at a loss for words.

He glanced at the time and asked the car wash owner, "Is it ready?"

The owner smiled brightly. "All set! Here’s a coupon for a discount on your next wash."

Don’t assume car washes only cost around fifty yuan; some cost one or two hundred. A full detailing and maintenance package could even run several thousand.

Lin Feng took the coupon. "Okay, thanks."

The car wash owner then overheard the app’s voice prompt from Lin Feng’s phone: "Your customer is two kilometers away. Please depart as soon as possible..." The app was surprisingly impatient, constantly urging him on.

The owner thought he had misheard. "Bro, are you driving a taxi?"

Lin Feng just hummed in response and drove off, leaving the car wash owner standing there, utterly bewildered.
