self-made god
Chapter 42
"Okay, sit down quickly! Your foot is not completely healed yet, what if you sprain it again?"
The second injury is definitely much more serious than the first.
"hey-hey."
Xia Mu was a little embarrassed and handed the iron basin to Uncle Wangcai, and then sat by the kitchen door.The threshold on their side is not low, and everyone can sit on a stool at ordinary times.
"Come on, this is the vegetarian bun I made, you can eat it as a snack!"
Uncle Wangcai put away the pig's blood, and wrapped several big buns with kraft paper.
"It smells good."
Although it was just an ordinary steamed stuffed bun, the aroma from the white flour made him drool. God knows he was full before he came to deliver the pig's blood, and now he was actually hungry again.
"If you like it, I will teach you how to do it after the Chinese New Year."
Wangcai also has the idea of passing on his skills, otherwise he would not agree to Xia Mu's request to learn cooking from him. Although he doesn't quite understand why Xia Mu, a junior with his own career, wants to learn cooking from him, it is obvious that learning cooking is not a good idea for him. To be a cook.
"Okay, Wangcai, just don't forget what you said when the time comes."
Xia Mu raised his hand happily. He has been thinking about Uncle Wangcai’s craftsmanship for a long time. Now it’s the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it’s only a few days away from the eighth day of the lunar new year. Time flies so fast during the Chinese New Year. Thinking that I can also make delicious Xia Mu almost couldn't help jumping up.
Seeing him like this, Uncle Wangcai couldn't help smiling, although he is old, he still protects the young mind, which is rare and rare.But it was precisely because of this that Uncle Wangcai, who never liked to deal with people in the village, agreed to Xia Mu's request to teach him cooking skills.
"Xiaomu."
I haven't seen Xia Mu go back for a long time, and Chen Ju came to find him.
"Ah Ju."
Xia Mu's eyes lit up when he heard his partner's voice, and he looked towards the path under the temple, and he saw Chen Ju walking up the path, and he came to the front of the temple in a short while.
"Uncle Wangcai."
Chen Ju said hello to Uncle Wangcai. As long as Xia Mu likes people, he has a good impression of them. Of course, this good impression only makes him respect them, and it is not enough to get close to them.The only people who made him feel close were Xia Mu's parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and brother-in-law.
"You take him back!"
Although Uncle Wangcai didn't dislike Chen Ju, he couldn't say he liked him either.As far as his temperament is concerned, he is already considered gentle. You must know that he will not even say a word to those who look down on him, let alone promise.
"Thank you Uncle Wangcai. Xiaomu, let's go!"
Chen Ju stretched out his hand towards Xia Mu, this mountain road is easy to go up, but a bit difficult to walk down, and Xia Mu's feet are not completely healed yet, so you have to be more careful when going down the mountain.
"Uncle Wangcai, then I'm leaving and you should be careful on the mountain. If you need anything, you can call me or Chen Ju."
Xia Mu wrote down Chen Ju's mobile phone number on a piece of paper. Both he and Chen Ju are using Global Access, so they can receive the signal no matter where they are.
"Okay, I see." Uncle Wangcai waved his hand impatiently, but his eyes were full of kindness. Xia Mu nagging at him was because he remembered him as an uncle in his heart. Can not understand.
"Be careful, this mountain road is a bit steep."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu's hand and walked carefully on the mountain road. It would have been easier to walk along the side avenue, but it would take a long detour, so Xia Mu chose to take the mountain road.
"Aju, will it be uncomfortable for you to stay with me in the village?"
The boss with tens of billions of assets is trapped in the countryside by him. If it were someone else, he would definitely feel wronged.
"Why are you uncomfortable?"
Chen Ju stopped and looked at Xia Mu in surprise.Xia Mu followed behind him, and naturally stopped.
"You are the chief executive of Tangtang Group. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to be trapped in this humble mountain village? You have to fly back to the capital every week to deal with things, arrive in the capital in the morning, and deal with documents in the afternoon and evening. The second I have to fly back from the capital again in the morning, is all this hard work worth it for me?"
In fact, Chen Ju is not the only one who is afraid of Xia Mu leaving him, Xia Mu is also afraid!Chen Ju is too good, but such a good man fell in love with him, and because he ran back and forth to the capital and fruit city every week, he would have been bored with someone else.
"It's worth it, why isn't it worth it? My greatest achievement is not founding Juwang, but finding you. Do you know? Without you, maybe my temper will get worse and worse and offend people everywhere. Because my parents I couldn't even sleep with peace of mind, so you saved me."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu in his arms, this was the first time he felt Xia Mu's uneasiness, and this uneasiness came from his excellence.But how could his Xiaomu understand that his excellent motivation came from him.He just wants to protect the relationship between himself and Xiaomu, only the stronger he is, he and Xiaomu will not be bullied, especially Xiaomu, whose family background is always flawed.
I have the protection of the Chen family so I am fine, but Xiaomu is different. If I can't become stronger, how can I make people have scruples about Xiaomu?This is one of the reasons why he has been making himself stronger slowly, because with something he wants to protect, his heart will become stronger.
In the past, he only knew how to break with force, and he didn't care about the consequences of the things he destroyed.Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, after all, in business, he paid the money and the other party took it, so the consequences have nothing to do with him.But his methods were too tough, so he forged a lot of hatred for the entire Ju Wang.The past few years have gotten better, the methods have been much gentler, and the previous hatred has disappeared a little. Although he is still nicknamed "Tyrant" in the business world, people nowadays don't use this name to scold him, at most It's a joke!
"Look, because of you, I don't have so many enemies now. If I hadn't met you, I guess my enemies are all over the world now!"
Chen Ju counted the people he had offended in the past few years, his hands and feet are too many to count.
Xia Mu was stunned, he knew that Chen Ju had a bad temper, and his behavior was a little nervous, but generally speaking, Chen Ju himself was very good, and he should be a businessman by nature, otherwise he wouldn't be in a short period of time. In a few years, Ju Wang's assets were doubled.
"Of course you can!"
There was no one around, so Chen Ju lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek.
"Although I don't care about whether I have enemies or not, it's just the unwillingness of those who lost to me, but it's better not to have enemies if you can. I don't want to involve you."
In the past, Chen Bao acted without any scruples, as long as it was his opponent, he would be outraged.But now he has to take Xia Mu by his side into consideration, and has played both hard and soft ways, at least he has bankrupted him, and won't let the other party go to his Juwang building to commit suicide.
Not to mention, before meeting Xia Mu, someone actually ran to the top floor of the Juwang Building and jumped off the building. Fortunately, the security guards he hired were not vegetarians and stopped them, otherwise Juwang's reputation would definitely be damaged. In this way, the product will also be affected, and it is estimated that it will not be able to return to normal sales levels for half a year or a year.
"I'm not afraid of getting you involved, but if you can figure this out, I think Grandpa Chen and Brother Chen will be happy too."
Xia Mu was secretly asked by two people. They all hoped that they could take good care of Chen Ju and not let him go to the dark side. Although he didn't understand why they told him this way, Xia Mu also clearly felt that Chen Ju was not as easy as before. He was furious, and he was willing to listen to his own words (in fact, people have always been willing to listen!).
"It doesn't matter if they are happy or not, as long as you are happy."
For Chen Ju, he would respect his eldest brother and grandfather, but he could not get close to them. He and them had a fundamentally different understanding, and the two would not have murderous intentions towards Chen Kun and his wife, but he would.In his heart, he really wanted to kill them, which was what his elder brother and grandpa worried about him the most these years.
Chen Ju didn't have any feelings for his biological parents. If it wasn't because they were still there, Chen Ju would have to take their feelings into consideration, otherwise Chen Kun and his wife's IQ would have been played to death by Chen Ju long ago.
"Brother Chen and Grandpa Chen will be sad if you say that."
Xia Mu chuckled, Ah Ju was always duplicity.Although he said he didn't care, if Brother Chen and Grandpa Chen had something to do, he would be more nervous than anyone else.Before Grandpa Chen had a cough, Ah Ju flew back to the capital overnight and took care of Grandpa Chen for three days before returning.I also got some pears from my grandfather, and took them home for Grandpa Chen to eat and play.
"They won't be sad!"
Chen Ju turned his head, somewhat embarrassed by his lover talking about his thoughts.
"is it?"
Xia Mu didn't let him go, it was rare to see Chen Ju showing such an expression, Xia Mu expressed that he was very interested.
"Yes."
Chen Ju was a little annoyed, what should he do if his lover likes to see him embarrassed?This is really a big problem.
"I don't want to go, my feet hurt."
Reach out.
"..."
Obediently turned around and squatted down.
"Let me tell you, I carried you because of your foot injury."
Chen Ju was annoyed by his lover just now, but at this moment, he felt that he couldn't lose even if he lost, and he had to find his way back.
"Then you want me to come down?"
Xia Mu leaned on his shoulders and pulled at his hair. Ah Ju's hair had reached below his ears, so he had to call for someone to cut it.Chen Ju's hair has a professional hair stylist, and every time Chen Ju cuts his hair, he has to come over no matter how far away he is.
"Lie down obediently, or I will throw you off."
Not answering directly means that the question just now was not what he thought in his mind, Xia Mu smiled brightly.
"Are you willing to?"
Xia Mu is not afraid!
"..."
Chen Jumo, who was eaten to death, of course he couldn't bear it!
When approaching the entrance of the village, Chen Ju let him down.
"Sure enough, it's better to just walk by myself. I was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep."
Xia Mu said with a smile, and deliberately walked two steps with his feet lifted.
"You, you, you~~"
This is a tone that is not suitable for Xia Mu, but seeing his lover is rare and lively, Chen Ju feels that being teased by Xiao Mu is not something embarrassing.
"Xiao Mumu, why are you and Mr. Chen standing at the entrance of the village and not going in?"
Xia Meng, who had just shoveled grass in the garlic field, came back with a hoe, and saw Xia Mu and Chen Ju standing at the entrance of the village, not knowing what they were talking about. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and their expressions were very relaxed, which showed that they were in a good mood. not bad.
"Brother Meng, where are you from? I told you to eat pig-killing rice at noon, why don't you go?"
The feeling towards Xia Meng and Chen Ju is not bad, although he has no ability, but a man can do something and not do something, at least he can stay home and serve his parents after his wife dislikes the poor and loves the rich.
"I won't go, all the pigs in my family have been sold this year."
Xia Mu was taken aback by Xia Meng's words, and then he understood.The other party's family didn't kill pigs, so naturally they didn't have slaughtered pigs to eat. If they went to other people's houses to eat and couldn't invite them back, they would be discussed by the villagers, and it would be bad if they were accused of being stingy.People like them are most afraid of being called stingy. It is difficult for a person who is too stingy to find a wife. After all, no one wants to marry a stingy man by himself. Even a meal counts how many meters What a good life.
"That's fine, Ah Ju and I are going back, goodbye."
Xia Mu was a little embarrassed, he really didn't think of this when he asked before, he just asked casually, and suddenly poked someone's sad thing.In fact, if the rural areas are not really unable to survive, they will usually keep a pig and kill it before the New Year.No wonder several families said they invited Xia Meng's family to eat pig-killing dishes this year, they didn't go, the root of the relationship is here!
After returning home, put the buns in the kitchen, and then the two returned to the bedroom from the stairs in the hall of the main courtyard.
"You don't have to feel guilty, maybe he won't want to see your guilt either!"
Chen Ju has more experience than Xia Mu, and he has seen a lot of people like Xia Meng. If this family were not honest and not greedy for cheap, he would not allow Xia Mu to associate with them.
"Oh~ I didn't do it on purpose, I just feel a little uncomfortable seeing his family like this now. Little Meng used to be cute and playful, but now the smile on his face is less than before. I was happy before."
It's a pity for Xia Meng, growing up in this way is too expensive.Xia Meng liked his ex-wife very much, otherwise he would not have spent all his money on her. As a result, people who are obsessed with money would care about Xia Meng who has no money, power or education. With that little salary, Xia Meng couldn't even afford a piece of clothing, so she divorced in a chic way after she couldn't persuade Xia Meng, and went to her lover and husband.
"Actually, it's not bad. It's better to see the true face of his ex-wife earlier than to have a child born a few years later that doesn't look like me."
Chen Ju told the truth, although it was a bit harsh.However, the green hat on Xia Meng's head can't be taken off in the past two years. Everyone knows that his ex-wife hooked up with other men before they divorced, and she cheated on her.
"Your words are too poisonous." Xia Mu twitched the corners of his mouth. Although it was the truth, but in the ears of others, especially Xia Meng's family, he would definitely have a martial arts scene with Chen Ju.
"The poison is a bit poisonous, but you can't deny that it's really better for him, right?" Chen Ju took off his coat for Xia Mu, no matter what happened every day, it was an unshakeable habit to take a lunch break for an hour.
"..." Xia Mu was rarely spoken by Chen Ju.
"Go to sleep, don't worry about these things. The Xia Meng family is not a child, they know what they should do, if they really can't make it through, they will definitely ask for help."
Chen Ju wrapped the person in a quilt.
"Oh~~~"
Xia Mu yawned, he was indeed a little tired.Although he didn't do any heavy work this morning, he got up early in the morning, followed his grandma to prepare the heat, and was busy going in and out during the meal. He finally sat down to eat and helped Brother Chen to look after the children, and then went up the mountain to give to Uncle Wangcai Sending pig's blood, he himself is quite surprised that he can support it until now.
In Chen Ju's warm embrace, he soon started snoring.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Xia Mu was pulled into a corner by Xia Wei, and looked at her suspiciously.
"Honestly, what is your relationship with Chen Ju? Didn't you say that this manor belongs to you?"
Why did they give half of it to Chen Ju?
"Sister, I've said it all. He is my investor. He invested half of the funds in me. This manor was also built with that funds. Of course, he also owns half of the property rights."
Xia Mu was startled when he heard Xia Wei's words, and then pretended to answer calmly.
"Really? I always feel like it's not that simple."
I don't know if it's a woman's sixth sense or what, Xia Wei has always believed that the relationship between her younger brother and Chen Ju is more than that.Otherwise, why don't people spend the New Year at their own home, but come to them instead, judging by the way the Chen family behaves, their family background must be extraordinary, it's abnormal for such a person to come to their corner of the mountain to celebrate the New Year.
"Then what else did you say?"
Xia Mu lowered his eyes and leaned against the white wall. The walls of the entire manor were pasted with bricks, so that it was not easy to leave marks on it, and it was easier to clean.
"Amu, I'm your older sister, can't you even trust your older sister?" Xia Wei looked sad at her younger brother who was taller than herself. The younger brother who told her and her elder brother everything back then grew up without knowing it. , and now he has his own business, compared with them, the younger brother grows up too fast, which makes them a little unaccustomed to being brothers and sisters.
"Sister, it's not that I can't trust you, but there are some things that are too late to tell. Sister, I have grown up and have my own secrets."
It's no longer like when I was a child, I told my brothers and sisters everything, and I was a child who didn't have any secrets.
"Amu~"
Xia Wei wanted to persuade her again, but for some reason she always felt that if she stopped asking, she would miss the chance to learn the truth.
"Xiaowei, that's enough."
Xia Shu turned from the side and looked at her.
"Big brother."
The two siblings stood up straight, and they still respected their eldest brother. When they were the only three brothers and sisters in the family, it was the eldest brother who held up the sky for them. If anyone dared to bully them, even if that person was older than him Many, Xia Shu will help them avenge, this is the right and duty of an elder brother.
"Xiaowei, Amu is getting older, you can't let him be a baby bird all his life, he will always fly. As for Amu, we don't need to ask about your relationship with Chen Ju and what you are doing for the time being, but you have to ask Big Brother promises that no matter what happens, the first thing you do is to protect yourself, okay?"
Xia Shu looked at his younger brother with serious eyes.
"I promise you, big brother. You really don't have to worry about me. I still want to live to be a hundred years old, and I will hold a big birthday banquet in the village, so that everyone in the world will envy me!"
The corner of Xia Mu's mouth raised slightly, even if he couldn't do what his elder brother asked, Ah Ju could do it, because he valued his own life more than himself.
"fool."
Xia Shu patted his younger brother on the head, he lived to be a hundred years old, didn't they know that he and Xia Wei were still alive at that time?If they are still alive, then the three brothers and sisters are amazing.
"You also have to live to be a hundred years old, when the time comes, we three brothers and sisters will do it together."
Regarding the younger brother's almost naive words, as brothers and sisters, both of them couldn't help laughing.
Xia Mu took their hands one by one, and the three of them walked side by side on the wide road in the yard.There are bursts of firecrackers ringing outside, today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion.
During the reunion dinner at noon, Xia Mu ran on both sides. He said he was full after half of the meal at Xia's house, and then found an excuse to run out, and went back to the small courtyard on the left of the villa, only to find that the Chen family was still waiting for him. The dish didn't move at all.Xia Mu's eyes instantly turned red.
"Why don't you eat, the food is cold."
Sniffed, the Chen family was really nice to him.But he couldn't repay Chen Ju with the same affection.
"If everyone doesn't come, how can it be counted as a reunion year!" Seeing that Xia Mu's eyes were red from being touched, he hurriedly winked at his grandfather for help.
"Xiaomu is here, sit down quickly. I'll wait for you to be alone, Baobao will pull your Uncle Mu to sit down."
Old Chen looked at Xia Mu intently, Baobao listened to his great-grandfather very much, slipped off the stool and ran over to pull Xia Mu to the table.
"Uncle Xiaomu, sit down."
Bao Bao sat beside her mother, and other people formed a circle, only Chen Ju had a place on the left, Bao Bao cleverly pulled Xia Mu to Chen Ju's side.
"Second Uncle, I handed Uncle Xiaomu to you, you have to treat him well, you know?"
The bagman said to Chen Ju in a big way, causing everyone present to laugh.
"Got it, little guy."
Chen Ju, dumbfounded, took his lover from the handbag, and pulled him to sit down.
"Look, how much our youngest baby likes you, it makes me jealous."
Chen Jumo rubbed Xia Mu's hands, his hands were a little cold after running back from the outside.
"Are you jealous of me, or of Baobao?"
Xia Mu couldn't help laughing, at such an adult, he is still like a child.
"That's right, second brother, who are you jealous of?"
Aunt Chen watched the interaction between Chen Ju and Xia Mu, but she really never thought that her uncle would fall in love with a man.In the past, she was worried about the relationship between the sisters-in-law, but now she doesn't have to worry about it, because the brother-in-law directly found a man, and there was no problem between the sister-in-law at all, but it seems that she is more worried now.
But looking at Xia Mu's appearance, he doesn't seem like a troublesome person, and Bao Bao likes him very much.Isn't it said that children are the most sensitive?This Xia Mu doesn't look like a bad person, and his personality is much better than that of his brother-in-law.She really doesn't want to talk about her brother-in-law's character, he's like a psychopath, if things go wrong, everyone will scold him except his elder brother and grandfather, even she was scolded by Chen Ju and cried a lot back then, until she gave birth Bags are better.
As for now, it is also because Chen Ju has moved out, and she and Chen Yuan don't live in the old house, so they rarely see each other, otherwise she will still be scolded and cry by the crazy Chen Ju who doesn't know when.
"It's definitely not because you are jealous."
Chen Ju rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth angrily. This little uncle is really not cute at all, but Xia Mu is more likable.Thinking about it this way, his acceptance of Xia Mu increased by another octave.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'll teach him a lesson later."
Xia Mu gave Chen Ju a hard look, that was his sister-in-law, so Chen Ju was not afraid of alienating Chen Yuan.I secretly took a look at Big Brother Chen, and found that he was talking to the old man like a normal person!
What's happening here?
Mrs. Chen seemed to have gotten used to her husband's attitude, and she didn't care at all to pick out digestible food for her son and put it in the bowl of the bag.
"I'll talk to you tonight."
Seeing Xia Mu's doubts, Chen Ju whispered in his ear.In fact, this matter is too simple, because Chen Yuan is not in love with his wife. Although they are in free love, they only met on a blind date, but both of them felt that it was more suitable, so they got married.They haven't had much passion these years, but they haven't had conflicts either.Naturally, Mrs. Chen is not as important as her younger brother in Chen Yuan's heart, not to mention that his younger brother is what he has always worried about, and he is deeply afraid that Chen Ju will act more ruthlessly if he is stimulated.
But for his wife's guilt, he will treat Mrs. Chen better in normal times. Although sympathy is not considered love, it has turned into family affection, and he never messes around outside. Compared with other children of the family, Chen Yuan has nothing but Those who don't love Mrs. Chen are simply three good men.
Mr. Chen sat in the main seat, looking at the eldest grandson's family and the second grandson's couple, his heart was full of emotion for a while.In the past, he was always worried that his second grandson would not marry a wife, because no one knew what was cold and what was hot.But when the second grandson finally fell in love with someone, he got tangled up again.But in the end, the concern for the second grandson prevailed, men should be men!
There is nothing wrong with men, after all, men are the ones who understand men. Chen Ju now looks much happier than he did a few years ago, sleeps soundly, and has a better temper. These are what he and Chen Yuan are most worried about. With Xia Mu, they can rest assured.Chen Ju is now under the curse like Monkey King, and can no longer make trouble.
Xia Mu is a good one at first glance, he can persuade Ah Ju better than a hundred women.
"Grandpa, Ah Ju and I have a toast to you, thank you for understanding us and accepting me."
Xia Mu usually doesn't drink at all, and today it is rare to raise the wine in the glass.
"Okay, grandpa drank it."
Old Man Chen drained the wine in his glass very quickly. The old man only likes to drink baijiu, and he usually only drinks some alcohol when he celebrates his birthday with him on New Year's Eve.
Compared with the somewhat dull New Year's Eve dinner in previous years, this year's Chen family's reunion dinner was much more lively.Even Bao Bao, who was afraid to speak loudly in the past, ran around the table. When he was tired from running, he lay on the lap of the nearest adult, waiting for everyone to feed him.
Compared with the previous atmosphere, Baobao spoke as a representative. He liked this year's reunion dinner and ate more than in previous years.When the mother saw her son eating so much, besides the increase in the child's appetite, she was also worried whether he would be full. However, Baobao proved that he did not eat enough, and his stomach was only a little bulging!
The mother was relieved, and also toasted Mr. Chen with a glass of wine with her husband. After he drank, the couple turned their attention to the delicious food on the table.This table of delicacies is not as exquisite as what they ate in the capital, and even the ingredients are relatively ordinary.But everyone present thought they were delicious and were willing to put them in their stomachs.
As for the Xia family, they didn't care about the fact that Xia Mu didn't come back after going out for a long time. The main reason was that Xia Mu had a lot of family members, and everyone just cared about the things around gossip, so the atmosphere was very lively. The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they couldn't understand their only younger brother again. They always felt that what he did was always unexpected, and they couldn't guess what he was thinking no matter how hard they tried.
Fortunately, Xia Mu showed up before dinner and walked in with a happy face.
"Amu, what happened to you?"
The big hall brother was sitting in the living room playing with the children. Apart from him, his younger brother, and his sister's children, the six children almost drove him crazy.
"No, it's just because it's Chinese New Year, so I'm in a good mood."
"Uncle (little uncle)~~"
As soon as the children saw Xia Mu, they immediately abandoned their father (uncle, uncle) and ran towards him.
"Wait to my little uncle's house, my little uncle bought a lot of delicious food and is waiting for you to come!" Xia Mu likes children, so they also like him very much.Obviously Xia Mu and them are not common, but Xia Mu is the most popular with the whole family every year. As long as he is with other people, don't even think about pulling the child away from him.For this reason, their fathers are often jealous, and even ruthlessly say that they want to challenge Xia Mu.As a result, these words disappeared after learning about Xia Mu's martial arts a few years ago, not as popular as Xia Mu, not as powerful as Xia Mu, and even inferior to Xia Mu in appearance, so how can they compare with this cousin (brother-in-law)!
And Xia Mu doesn't care what they think!It is impossible for him to have children in this life, so like Chen Ju, he naturally loves the children of the two families a little more, and will not feel bored just because they are not his children.Like Xia Mu, he can even play with the children for a whole day without complaining, but their father is different. After playing with them for an hour, he starts to cry tired, and wants to throw the children back to his wife, so that they can go back to being angels and Be free from the devil's little ones.
So it’s not really my fault that the children prefer uncles and uncles, but that their fathers are too disappointing, so who can blame them!So the children's mothers don't like the fact that their husbands are particularly fond of it, so they ask them to learn from their uncles (brothers), not to mention 100%, it's not bad if they can achieve [-]%.
For this reason, Xia Mu often received supercilious glances from his cousin and brother-in-law, and felt that this little brother (brother-in-law) was too perfect, and then they were inferior to Xia Mu in the eyes of his wife as cousins and brother-in-laws, and it could even be said that In what they said, they are not worthy of others to lift Xia Mu's shoes, the key is that they themselves can't refute it.
Most of the evening meal is left over from noon. Of course, no one touches the fish, and this will be put aside for next year.
The Spring Festival Gala is a family program that rural people must watch every year, but this year Xia Mu did not watch it with his parents, but huddled with Chen Ju on the second floor and sat on the bed to watch it.For the current Spring Festival Gala, both Xia Mu and Chen Ju are just following the tradition, but in fact, the two of them are not paying attention to it.The Spring Festival Gala was only halfway through, and the temperature in the whole room gradually began to rise, leaving only the purest sports in the end.
"Uncle (little uncle), Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."
A few little ones jumped out to worship Xia Mu, and at the same time stretched out their little hands.
"This is a red envelope. I hope you will be happy, healthy and progress in your studies in the new year."
Xia Mu took out several red envelopes and handed them to the children, and at the same time touched their heads to express his blessings and expectations.
"Thank you uncle (little uncle)."
The little ones took the red envelopes and ran to other people to ask for red envelopes. For the children, they look forward to the Chinese New Year most, because there are not only new clothes to wear, delicious food, but more importantly, red envelopes. .Although the money is basically taken away by the parents in the end, the parents who are more enlightened will leave some for the children, and will not take all of it.Only those who are very stingy or whose family is very poor will take all the red envelopes from the children, leaving nothing behind.
Of course, people in this kind of family are also doomed that they will not receive many red envelopes. Although it is common practice for everyone to give each other red envelopes to their children, no one is a fool.If it's just a small loss, everyone won't say anything. Who makes my family not have as many children as yours!But if I seal ten yuan to your child, but you only seal one dollar or even ten cents to my child, who would give too much money to a child of such a family!They are not being taken advantage of.
So often the children of these families don't look at the amount of red envelopes in their hands, but the sum may not be as much as the amount of red envelopes Xia Mu gave to a nephew.
It’s okay if you meet a self-aware person. If you know that your home is not welcome, you won’t come to the door next time.But I'm afraid that those people who are so thick-skinned that they can't pierce a gun will not only bring their own years, but also bring all the children of their own family.They beg red envelopes from the older generation, and their children beg from the younger generation, simply wanting to catch all the red envelopes from other people's families.
Xia Mu met such a person. He gave red envelopes to his own children after paying respects to his grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts.Then I planned to go to the Chen family to meet Mr. Chen, give them New Year greetings, and then give them a red envelope.
As a result, when he was about to step out of the house, he was stopped at the gate of Grandpa Xia's house.Seeing the middle-aged woman and her four children begging for red envelopes, Xia Mu felt powerless.
Xia Mu's family in Xiashang Village belonged to a relatively high generation, like the middle-aged women in the family we met now had to call him uncle, and the children had to call him uncle.This seniority is quite high, and it is not uncommon in their village.There are even people in their seventies and eighties who call their three-year-olds uncles!
Xia Mu doesn't like this family, mainly because they are too thick-skinned and they are not afraid of embarrassment.Fortunately, he was prepared and gave them five red envelopes, each of which contained only ten yuan. He was pestered by this family every year to beg for red envelopes. Everyone in the village had their own way of dealing with them. The red envelopes are packaged separately, which are different from the red envelopes given to other family members.In previous years, Xia Mu only packed one piece, but this year there was no way. People in the village said that he had made a lot of money, and it would be shameful to pack another piece, so he wrapped ten pieces, unlike other children who basically gave fifty. start.
Looking at the background of the family's departure, the Xia family felt a sense of powerlessness.Just now everyone, including a few children, gave red envelopes. If they don't give them, they will stay at their house forever.Fortunately, their family is like this every year, and the people in Xiashang Village have long been used to it, so the red envelopes they give are also specially packaged, the most is no more than three yuan, and the least is one piece.Feng Duo felt suffocated, and Feng Shao turned around and the family would scold them for being mean behind their backs, which was simply annoying.
In fact, for the people in Xiashang Village, they don't even want to seal a dollar, and they have never seen such a shameless person.It's a pity that you can't be angry during the Chinese New Year. The other party also takes a fancy to this, so they come to ask for red envelopes every family.No matter how much it is, if you get one piece, it is one piece, and every family can get two or 300 yuan when they transfer it. It is definitely a profit.
"What happened to that family?"
Seeing that Xia Mu hadn't come over for a long time, Chen Ju came to pick him up a little worried. Who knew that he happened to meet this wonderful family.
"The best for the whole family."
Xia Mu didn't want to say it.
Originally, people who are out of the fifth server will not deliberately come to ask for red envelopes. If they meet by chance, elders with better families may give a little red envelopes, but most people will not give red envelopes to the clan members of the fifth server. .But this family’s thinking is a little different. They think that since they are juniors, it’s only natural to ask the elders for red envelopes. Otherwise, they usually call you uncle and master, aunt and grandma, so how can you not give red envelopes?If you have the ability, don't answer when you are called normally!
When they met such a shameless family, they didn't even care about the fact that they couldn't make five suits, what else could everyone do!
The second injury is definitely much more serious than the first.
"hey-hey."
Xia Mu was a little embarrassed and handed the iron basin to Uncle Wangcai, and then sat by the kitchen door.The threshold on their side is not low, and everyone can sit on a stool at ordinary times.
"Come on, this is the vegetarian bun I made, you can eat it as a snack!"
Uncle Wangcai put away the pig's blood, and wrapped several big buns with kraft paper.
"It smells good."
Although it was just an ordinary steamed stuffed bun, the aroma from the white flour made him drool. God knows he was full before he came to deliver the pig's blood, and now he was actually hungry again.
"If you like it, I will teach you how to do it after the Chinese New Year."
Wangcai also has the idea of passing on his skills, otherwise he would not agree to Xia Mu's request to learn cooking from him. Although he doesn't quite understand why Xia Mu, a junior with his own career, wants to learn cooking from him, it is obvious that learning cooking is not a good idea for him. To be a cook.
"Okay, Wangcai, just don't forget what you said when the time comes."
Xia Mu raised his hand happily. He has been thinking about Uncle Wangcai’s craftsmanship for a long time. Now it’s the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it’s only a few days away from the eighth day of the lunar new year. Time flies so fast during the Chinese New Year. Thinking that I can also make delicious Xia Mu almost couldn't help jumping up.
Seeing him like this, Uncle Wangcai couldn't help smiling, although he is old, he still protects the young mind, which is rare and rare.But it was precisely because of this that Uncle Wangcai, who never liked to deal with people in the village, agreed to Xia Mu's request to teach him cooking skills.
"Xiaomu."
I haven't seen Xia Mu go back for a long time, and Chen Ju came to find him.
"Ah Ju."
Xia Mu's eyes lit up when he heard his partner's voice, and he looked towards the path under the temple, and he saw Chen Ju walking up the path, and he came to the front of the temple in a short while.
"Uncle Wangcai."
Chen Ju said hello to Uncle Wangcai. As long as Xia Mu likes people, he has a good impression of them. Of course, this good impression only makes him respect them, and it is not enough to get close to them.The only people who made him feel close were Xia Mu's parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and brother-in-law.
"You take him back!"
Although Uncle Wangcai didn't dislike Chen Ju, he couldn't say he liked him either.As far as his temperament is concerned, he is already considered gentle. You must know that he will not even say a word to those who look down on him, let alone promise.
"Thank you Uncle Wangcai. Xiaomu, let's go!"
Chen Ju stretched out his hand towards Xia Mu, this mountain road is easy to go up, but a bit difficult to walk down, and Xia Mu's feet are not completely healed yet, so you have to be more careful when going down the mountain.
"Uncle Wangcai, then I'm leaving and you should be careful on the mountain. If you need anything, you can call me or Chen Ju."
Xia Mu wrote down Chen Ju's mobile phone number on a piece of paper. Both he and Chen Ju are using Global Access, so they can receive the signal no matter where they are.
"Okay, I see." Uncle Wangcai waved his hand impatiently, but his eyes were full of kindness. Xia Mu nagging at him was because he remembered him as an uncle in his heart. Can not understand.
"Be careful, this mountain road is a bit steep."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu's hand and walked carefully on the mountain road. It would have been easier to walk along the side avenue, but it would take a long detour, so Xia Mu chose to take the mountain road.
"Aju, will it be uncomfortable for you to stay with me in the village?"
The boss with tens of billions of assets is trapped in the countryside by him. If it were someone else, he would definitely feel wronged.
"Why are you uncomfortable?"
Chen Ju stopped and looked at Xia Mu in surprise.Xia Mu followed behind him, and naturally stopped.
"You are the chief executive of Tangtang Group. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to be trapped in this humble mountain village? You have to fly back to the capital every week to deal with things, arrive in the capital in the morning, and deal with documents in the afternoon and evening. The second I have to fly back from the capital again in the morning, is all this hard work worth it for me?"
In fact, Chen Ju is not the only one who is afraid of Xia Mu leaving him, Xia Mu is also afraid!Chen Ju is too good, but such a good man fell in love with him, and because he ran back and forth to the capital and fruit city every week, he would have been bored with someone else.
"It's worth it, why isn't it worth it? My greatest achievement is not founding Juwang, but finding you. Do you know? Without you, maybe my temper will get worse and worse and offend people everywhere. Because my parents I couldn't even sleep with peace of mind, so you saved me."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu in his arms, this was the first time he felt Xia Mu's uneasiness, and this uneasiness came from his excellence.But how could his Xiaomu understand that his excellent motivation came from him.He just wants to protect the relationship between himself and Xiaomu, only the stronger he is, he and Xiaomu will not be bullied, especially Xiaomu, whose family background is always flawed.
I have the protection of the Chen family so I am fine, but Xiaomu is different. If I can't become stronger, how can I make people have scruples about Xiaomu?This is one of the reasons why he has been making himself stronger slowly, because with something he wants to protect, his heart will become stronger.
In the past, he only knew how to break with force, and he didn't care about the consequences of the things he destroyed.Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, after all, in business, he paid the money and the other party took it, so the consequences have nothing to do with him.But his methods were too tough, so he forged a lot of hatred for the entire Ju Wang.The past few years have gotten better, the methods have been much gentler, and the previous hatred has disappeared a little. Although he is still nicknamed "Tyrant" in the business world, people nowadays don't use this name to scold him, at most It's a joke!
"Look, because of you, I don't have so many enemies now. If I hadn't met you, I guess my enemies are all over the world now!"
Chen Ju counted the people he had offended in the past few years, his hands and feet are too many to count.
Xia Mu was stunned, he knew that Chen Ju had a bad temper, and his behavior was a little nervous, but generally speaking, Chen Ju himself was very good, and he should be a businessman by nature, otherwise he wouldn't be in a short period of time. In a few years, Ju Wang's assets were doubled.
"Of course you can!"
There was no one around, so Chen Ju lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek.
"Although I don't care about whether I have enemies or not, it's just the unwillingness of those who lost to me, but it's better not to have enemies if you can. I don't want to involve you."
In the past, Chen Bao acted without any scruples, as long as it was his opponent, he would be outraged.But now he has to take Xia Mu by his side into consideration, and has played both hard and soft ways, at least he has bankrupted him, and won't let the other party go to his Juwang building to commit suicide.
Not to mention, before meeting Xia Mu, someone actually ran to the top floor of the Juwang Building and jumped off the building. Fortunately, the security guards he hired were not vegetarians and stopped them, otherwise Juwang's reputation would definitely be damaged. In this way, the product will also be affected, and it is estimated that it will not be able to return to normal sales levels for half a year or a year.
"I'm not afraid of getting you involved, but if you can figure this out, I think Grandpa Chen and Brother Chen will be happy too."
Xia Mu was secretly asked by two people. They all hoped that they could take good care of Chen Ju and not let him go to the dark side. Although he didn't understand why they told him this way, Xia Mu also clearly felt that Chen Ju was not as easy as before. He was furious, and he was willing to listen to his own words (in fact, people have always been willing to listen!).
"It doesn't matter if they are happy or not, as long as you are happy."
For Chen Ju, he would respect his eldest brother and grandfather, but he could not get close to them. He and them had a fundamentally different understanding, and the two would not have murderous intentions towards Chen Kun and his wife, but he would.In his heart, he really wanted to kill them, which was what his elder brother and grandpa worried about him the most these years.
Chen Ju didn't have any feelings for his biological parents. If it wasn't because they were still there, Chen Ju would have to take their feelings into consideration, otherwise Chen Kun and his wife's IQ would have been played to death by Chen Ju long ago.
"Brother Chen and Grandpa Chen will be sad if you say that."
Xia Mu chuckled, Ah Ju was always duplicity.Although he said he didn't care, if Brother Chen and Grandpa Chen had something to do, he would be more nervous than anyone else.Before Grandpa Chen had a cough, Ah Ju flew back to the capital overnight and took care of Grandpa Chen for three days before returning.I also got some pears from my grandfather, and took them home for Grandpa Chen to eat and play.
"They won't be sad!"
Chen Ju turned his head, somewhat embarrassed by his lover talking about his thoughts.
"is it?"
Xia Mu didn't let him go, it was rare to see Chen Ju showing such an expression, Xia Mu expressed that he was very interested.
"Yes."
Chen Ju was a little annoyed, what should he do if his lover likes to see him embarrassed?This is really a big problem.
"I don't want to go, my feet hurt."
Reach out.
"..."
Obediently turned around and squatted down.
"Let me tell you, I carried you because of your foot injury."
Chen Ju was annoyed by his lover just now, but at this moment, he felt that he couldn't lose even if he lost, and he had to find his way back.
"Then you want me to come down?"
Xia Mu leaned on his shoulders and pulled at his hair. Ah Ju's hair had reached below his ears, so he had to call for someone to cut it.Chen Ju's hair has a professional hair stylist, and every time Chen Ju cuts his hair, he has to come over no matter how far away he is.
"Lie down obediently, or I will throw you off."
Not answering directly means that the question just now was not what he thought in his mind, Xia Mu smiled brightly.
"Are you willing to?"
Xia Mu is not afraid!
"..."
Chen Jumo, who was eaten to death, of course he couldn't bear it!
When approaching the entrance of the village, Chen Ju let him down.
"Sure enough, it's better to just walk by myself. I was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep."
Xia Mu said with a smile, and deliberately walked two steps with his feet lifted.
"You, you, you~~"
This is a tone that is not suitable for Xia Mu, but seeing his lover is rare and lively, Chen Ju feels that being teased by Xiao Mu is not something embarrassing.
"Xiao Mumu, why are you and Mr. Chen standing at the entrance of the village and not going in?"
Xia Meng, who had just shoveled grass in the garlic field, came back with a hoe, and saw Xia Mu and Chen Ju standing at the entrance of the village, not knowing what they were talking about. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and their expressions were very relaxed, which showed that they were in a good mood. not bad.
"Brother Meng, where are you from? I told you to eat pig-killing rice at noon, why don't you go?"
The feeling towards Xia Meng and Chen Ju is not bad, although he has no ability, but a man can do something and not do something, at least he can stay home and serve his parents after his wife dislikes the poor and loves the rich.
"I won't go, all the pigs in my family have been sold this year."
Xia Mu was taken aback by Xia Meng's words, and then he understood.The other party's family didn't kill pigs, so naturally they didn't have slaughtered pigs to eat. If they went to other people's houses to eat and couldn't invite them back, they would be discussed by the villagers, and it would be bad if they were accused of being stingy.People like them are most afraid of being called stingy. It is difficult for a person who is too stingy to find a wife. After all, no one wants to marry a stingy man by himself. Even a meal counts how many meters What a good life.
"That's fine, Ah Ju and I are going back, goodbye."
Xia Mu was a little embarrassed, he really didn't think of this when he asked before, he just asked casually, and suddenly poked someone's sad thing.In fact, if the rural areas are not really unable to survive, they will usually keep a pig and kill it before the New Year.No wonder several families said they invited Xia Meng's family to eat pig-killing dishes this year, they didn't go, the root of the relationship is here!
After returning home, put the buns in the kitchen, and then the two returned to the bedroom from the stairs in the hall of the main courtyard.
"You don't have to feel guilty, maybe he won't want to see your guilt either!"
Chen Ju has more experience than Xia Mu, and he has seen a lot of people like Xia Meng. If this family were not honest and not greedy for cheap, he would not allow Xia Mu to associate with them.
"Oh~ I didn't do it on purpose, I just feel a little uncomfortable seeing his family like this now. Little Meng used to be cute and playful, but now the smile on his face is less than before. I was happy before."
It's a pity for Xia Meng, growing up in this way is too expensive.Xia Meng liked his ex-wife very much, otherwise he would not have spent all his money on her. As a result, people who are obsessed with money would care about Xia Meng who has no money, power or education. With that little salary, Xia Meng couldn't even afford a piece of clothing, so she divorced in a chic way after she couldn't persuade Xia Meng, and went to her lover and husband.
"Actually, it's not bad. It's better to see the true face of his ex-wife earlier than to have a child born a few years later that doesn't look like me."
Chen Ju told the truth, although it was a bit harsh.However, the green hat on Xia Meng's head can't be taken off in the past two years. Everyone knows that his ex-wife hooked up with other men before they divorced, and she cheated on her.
"Your words are too poisonous." Xia Mu twitched the corners of his mouth. Although it was the truth, but in the ears of others, especially Xia Meng's family, he would definitely have a martial arts scene with Chen Ju.
"The poison is a bit poisonous, but you can't deny that it's really better for him, right?" Chen Ju took off his coat for Xia Mu, no matter what happened every day, it was an unshakeable habit to take a lunch break for an hour.
"..." Xia Mu was rarely spoken by Chen Ju.
"Go to sleep, don't worry about these things. The Xia Meng family is not a child, they know what they should do, if they really can't make it through, they will definitely ask for help."
Chen Ju wrapped the person in a quilt.
"Oh~~~"
Xia Mu yawned, he was indeed a little tired.Although he didn't do any heavy work this morning, he got up early in the morning, followed his grandma to prepare the heat, and was busy going in and out during the meal. He finally sat down to eat and helped Brother Chen to look after the children, and then went up the mountain to give to Uncle Wangcai Sending pig's blood, he himself is quite surprised that he can support it until now.
In Chen Ju's warm embrace, he soon started snoring.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Xia Mu was pulled into a corner by Xia Wei, and looked at her suspiciously.
"Honestly, what is your relationship with Chen Ju? Didn't you say that this manor belongs to you?"
Why did they give half of it to Chen Ju?
"Sister, I've said it all. He is my investor. He invested half of the funds in me. This manor was also built with that funds. Of course, he also owns half of the property rights."
Xia Mu was startled when he heard Xia Wei's words, and then pretended to answer calmly.
"Really? I always feel like it's not that simple."
I don't know if it's a woman's sixth sense or what, Xia Wei has always believed that the relationship between her younger brother and Chen Ju is more than that.Otherwise, why don't people spend the New Year at their own home, but come to them instead, judging by the way the Chen family behaves, their family background must be extraordinary, it's abnormal for such a person to come to their corner of the mountain to celebrate the New Year.
"Then what else did you say?"
Xia Mu lowered his eyes and leaned against the white wall. The walls of the entire manor were pasted with bricks, so that it was not easy to leave marks on it, and it was easier to clean.
"Amu, I'm your older sister, can't you even trust your older sister?" Xia Wei looked sad at her younger brother who was taller than herself. The younger brother who told her and her elder brother everything back then grew up without knowing it. , and now he has his own business, compared with them, the younger brother grows up too fast, which makes them a little unaccustomed to being brothers and sisters.
"Sister, it's not that I can't trust you, but there are some things that are too late to tell. Sister, I have grown up and have my own secrets."
It's no longer like when I was a child, I told my brothers and sisters everything, and I was a child who didn't have any secrets.
"Amu~"
Xia Wei wanted to persuade her again, but for some reason she always felt that if she stopped asking, she would miss the chance to learn the truth.
"Xiaowei, that's enough."
Xia Shu turned from the side and looked at her.
"Big brother."
The two siblings stood up straight, and they still respected their eldest brother. When they were the only three brothers and sisters in the family, it was the eldest brother who held up the sky for them. If anyone dared to bully them, even if that person was older than him Many, Xia Shu will help them avenge, this is the right and duty of an elder brother.
"Xiaowei, Amu is getting older, you can't let him be a baby bird all his life, he will always fly. As for Amu, we don't need to ask about your relationship with Chen Ju and what you are doing for the time being, but you have to ask Big Brother promises that no matter what happens, the first thing you do is to protect yourself, okay?"
Xia Shu looked at his younger brother with serious eyes.
"I promise you, big brother. You really don't have to worry about me. I still want to live to be a hundred years old, and I will hold a big birthday banquet in the village, so that everyone in the world will envy me!"
The corner of Xia Mu's mouth raised slightly, even if he couldn't do what his elder brother asked, Ah Ju could do it, because he valued his own life more than himself.
"fool."
Xia Shu patted his younger brother on the head, he lived to be a hundred years old, didn't they know that he and Xia Wei were still alive at that time?If they are still alive, then the three brothers and sisters are amazing.
"You also have to live to be a hundred years old, when the time comes, we three brothers and sisters will do it together."
Regarding the younger brother's almost naive words, as brothers and sisters, both of them couldn't help laughing.
Xia Mu took their hands one by one, and the three of them walked side by side on the wide road in the yard.There are bursts of firecrackers ringing outside, today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion.
During the reunion dinner at noon, Xia Mu ran on both sides. He said he was full after half of the meal at Xia's house, and then found an excuse to run out, and went back to the small courtyard on the left of the villa, only to find that the Chen family was still waiting for him. The dish didn't move at all.Xia Mu's eyes instantly turned red.
"Why don't you eat, the food is cold."
Sniffed, the Chen family was really nice to him.But he couldn't repay Chen Ju with the same affection.
"If everyone doesn't come, how can it be counted as a reunion year!" Seeing that Xia Mu's eyes were red from being touched, he hurriedly winked at his grandfather for help.
"Xiaomu is here, sit down quickly. I'll wait for you to be alone, Baobao will pull your Uncle Mu to sit down."
Old Chen looked at Xia Mu intently, Baobao listened to his great-grandfather very much, slipped off the stool and ran over to pull Xia Mu to the table.
"Uncle Xiaomu, sit down."
Bao Bao sat beside her mother, and other people formed a circle, only Chen Ju had a place on the left, Bao Bao cleverly pulled Xia Mu to Chen Ju's side.
"Second Uncle, I handed Uncle Xiaomu to you, you have to treat him well, you know?"
The bagman said to Chen Ju in a big way, causing everyone present to laugh.
"Got it, little guy."
Chen Ju, dumbfounded, took his lover from the handbag, and pulled him to sit down.
"Look, how much our youngest baby likes you, it makes me jealous."
Chen Jumo rubbed Xia Mu's hands, his hands were a little cold after running back from the outside.
"Are you jealous of me, or of Baobao?"
Xia Mu couldn't help laughing, at such an adult, he is still like a child.
"That's right, second brother, who are you jealous of?"
Aunt Chen watched the interaction between Chen Ju and Xia Mu, but she really never thought that her uncle would fall in love with a man.In the past, she was worried about the relationship between the sisters-in-law, but now she doesn't have to worry about it, because the brother-in-law directly found a man, and there was no problem between the sister-in-law at all, but it seems that she is more worried now.
But looking at Xia Mu's appearance, he doesn't seem like a troublesome person, and Bao Bao likes him very much.Isn't it said that children are the most sensitive?This Xia Mu doesn't look like a bad person, and his personality is much better than that of his brother-in-law.She really doesn't want to talk about her brother-in-law's character, he's like a psychopath, if things go wrong, everyone will scold him except his elder brother and grandfather, even she was scolded by Chen Ju and cried a lot back then, until she gave birth Bags are better.
As for now, it is also because Chen Ju has moved out, and she and Chen Yuan don't live in the old house, so they rarely see each other, otherwise she will still be scolded and cry by the crazy Chen Ju who doesn't know when.
"It's definitely not because you are jealous."
Chen Ju rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth angrily. This little uncle is really not cute at all, but Xia Mu is more likable.Thinking about it this way, his acceptance of Xia Mu increased by another octave.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'll teach him a lesson later."
Xia Mu gave Chen Ju a hard look, that was his sister-in-law, so Chen Ju was not afraid of alienating Chen Yuan.I secretly took a look at Big Brother Chen, and found that he was talking to the old man like a normal person!
What's happening here?
Mrs. Chen seemed to have gotten used to her husband's attitude, and she didn't care at all to pick out digestible food for her son and put it in the bowl of the bag.
"I'll talk to you tonight."
Seeing Xia Mu's doubts, Chen Ju whispered in his ear.In fact, this matter is too simple, because Chen Yuan is not in love with his wife. Although they are in free love, they only met on a blind date, but both of them felt that it was more suitable, so they got married.They haven't had much passion these years, but they haven't had conflicts either.Naturally, Mrs. Chen is not as important as her younger brother in Chen Yuan's heart, not to mention that his younger brother is what he has always worried about, and he is deeply afraid that Chen Ju will act more ruthlessly if he is stimulated.
But for his wife's guilt, he will treat Mrs. Chen better in normal times. Although sympathy is not considered love, it has turned into family affection, and he never messes around outside. Compared with other children of the family, Chen Yuan has nothing but Those who don't love Mrs. Chen are simply three good men.
Mr. Chen sat in the main seat, looking at the eldest grandson's family and the second grandson's couple, his heart was full of emotion for a while.In the past, he was always worried that his second grandson would not marry a wife, because no one knew what was cold and what was hot.But when the second grandson finally fell in love with someone, he got tangled up again.But in the end, the concern for the second grandson prevailed, men should be men!
There is nothing wrong with men, after all, men are the ones who understand men. Chen Ju now looks much happier than he did a few years ago, sleeps soundly, and has a better temper. These are what he and Chen Yuan are most worried about. With Xia Mu, they can rest assured.Chen Ju is now under the curse like Monkey King, and can no longer make trouble.
Xia Mu is a good one at first glance, he can persuade Ah Ju better than a hundred women.
"Grandpa, Ah Ju and I have a toast to you, thank you for understanding us and accepting me."
Xia Mu usually doesn't drink at all, and today it is rare to raise the wine in the glass.
"Okay, grandpa drank it."
Old Man Chen drained the wine in his glass very quickly. The old man only likes to drink baijiu, and he usually only drinks some alcohol when he celebrates his birthday with him on New Year's Eve.
Compared with the somewhat dull New Year's Eve dinner in previous years, this year's Chen family's reunion dinner was much more lively.Even Bao Bao, who was afraid to speak loudly in the past, ran around the table. When he was tired from running, he lay on the lap of the nearest adult, waiting for everyone to feed him.
Compared with the previous atmosphere, Baobao spoke as a representative. He liked this year's reunion dinner and ate more than in previous years.When the mother saw her son eating so much, besides the increase in the child's appetite, she was also worried whether he would be full. However, Baobao proved that he did not eat enough, and his stomach was only a little bulging!
The mother was relieved, and also toasted Mr. Chen with a glass of wine with her husband. After he drank, the couple turned their attention to the delicious food on the table.This table of delicacies is not as exquisite as what they ate in the capital, and even the ingredients are relatively ordinary.But everyone present thought they were delicious and were willing to put them in their stomachs.
As for the Xia family, they didn't care about the fact that Xia Mu didn't come back after going out for a long time. The main reason was that Xia Mu had a lot of family members, and everyone just cared about the things around gossip, so the atmosphere was very lively. The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they couldn't understand their only younger brother again. They always felt that what he did was always unexpected, and they couldn't guess what he was thinking no matter how hard they tried.
Fortunately, Xia Mu showed up before dinner and walked in with a happy face.
"Amu, what happened to you?"
The big hall brother was sitting in the living room playing with the children. Apart from him, his younger brother, and his sister's children, the six children almost drove him crazy.
"No, it's just because it's Chinese New Year, so I'm in a good mood."
"Uncle (little uncle)~~"
As soon as the children saw Xia Mu, they immediately abandoned their father (uncle, uncle) and ran towards him.
"Wait to my little uncle's house, my little uncle bought a lot of delicious food and is waiting for you to come!" Xia Mu likes children, so they also like him very much.Obviously Xia Mu and them are not common, but Xia Mu is the most popular with the whole family every year. As long as he is with other people, don't even think about pulling the child away from him.For this reason, their fathers are often jealous, and even ruthlessly say that they want to challenge Xia Mu.As a result, these words disappeared after learning about Xia Mu's martial arts a few years ago, not as popular as Xia Mu, not as powerful as Xia Mu, and even inferior to Xia Mu in appearance, so how can they compare with this cousin (brother-in-law)!
And Xia Mu doesn't care what they think!It is impossible for him to have children in this life, so like Chen Ju, he naturally loves the children of the two families a little more, and will not feel bored just because they are not his children.Like Xia Mu, he can even play with the children for a whole day without complaining, but their father is different. After playing with them for an hour, he starts to cry tired, and wants to throw the children back to his wife, so that they can go back to being angels and Be free from the devil's little ones.
So it’s not really my fault that the children prefer uncles and uncles, but that their fathers are too disappointing, so who can blame them!So the children's mothers don't like the fact that their husbands are particularly fond of it, so they ask them to learn from their uncles (brothers), not to mention 100%, it's not bad if they can achieve [-]%.
For this reason, Xia Mu often received supercilious glances from his cousin and brother-in-law, and felt that this little brother (brother-in-law) was too perfect, and then they were inferior to Xia Mu in the eyes of his wife as cousins and brother-in-laws, and it could even be said that In what they said, they are not worthy of others to lift Xia Mu's shoes, the key is that they themselves can't refute it.
Most of the evening meal is left over from noon. Of course, no one touches the fish, and this will be put aside for next year.
The Spring Festival Gala is a family program that rural people must watch every year, but this year Xia Mu did not watch it with his parents, but huddled with Chen Ju on the second floor and sat on the bed to watch it.For the current Spring Festival Gala, both Xia Mu and Chen Ju are just following the tradition, but in fact, the two of them are not paying attention to it.The Spring Festival Gala was only halfway through, and the temperature in the whole room gradually began to rise, leaving only the purest sports in the end.
"Uncle (little uncle), Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."
A few little ones jumped out to worship Xia Mu, and at the same time stretched out their little hands.
"This is a red envelope. I hope you will be happy, healthy and progress in your studies in the new year."
Xia Mu took out several red envelopes and handed them to the children, and at the same time touched their heads to express his blessings and expectations.
"Thank you uncle (little uncle)."
The little ones took the red envelopes and ran to other people to ask for red envelopes. For the children, they look forward to the Chinese New Year most, because there are not only new clothes to wear, delicious food, but more importantly, red envelopes. .Although the money is basically taken away by the parents in the end, the parents who are more enlightened will leave some for the children, and will not take all of it.Only those who are very stingy or whose family is very poor will take all the red envelopes from the children, leaving nothing behind.
Of course, people in this kind of family are also doomed that they will not receive many red envelopes. Although it is common practice for everyone to give each other red envelopes to their children, no one is a fool.If it's just a small loss, everyone won't say anything. Who makes my family not have as many children as yours!But if I seal ten yuan to your child, but you only seal one dollar or even ten cents to my child, who would give too much money to a child of such a family!They are not being taken advantage of.
So often the children of these families don't look at the amount of red envelopes in their hands, but the sum may not be as much as the amount of red envelopes Xia Mu gave to a nephew.
It’s okay if you meet a self-aware person. If you know that your home is not welcome, you won’t come to the door next time.But I'm afraid that those people who are so thick-skinned that they can't pierce a gun will not only bring their own years, but also bring all the children of their own family.They beg red envelopes from the older generation, and their children beg from the younger generation, simply wanting to catch all the red envelopes from other people's families.
Xia Mu met such a person. He gave red envelopes to his own children after paying respects to his grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts.Then I planned to go to the Chen family to meet Mr. Chen, give them New Year greetings, and then give them a red envelope.
As a result, when he was about to step out of the house, he was stopped at the gate of Grandpa Xia's house.Seeing the middle-aged woman and her four children begging for red envelopes, Xia Mu felt powerless.
Xia Mu's family in Xiashang Village belonged to a relatively high generation, like the middle-aged women in the family we met now had to call him uncle, and the children had to call him uncle.This seniority is quite high, and it is not uncommon in their village.There are even people in their seventies and eighties who call their three-year-olds uncles!
Xia Mu doesn't like this family, mainly because they are too thick-skinned and they are not afraid of embarrassment.Fortunately, he was prepared and gave them five red envelopes, each of which contained only ten yuan. He was pestered by this family every year to beg for red envelopes. Everyone in the village had their own way of dealing with them. The red envelopes are packaged separately, which are different from the red envelopes given to other family members.In previous years, Xia Mu only packed one piece, but this year there was no way. People in the village said that he had made a lot of money, and it would be shameful to pack another piece, so he wrapped ten pieces, unlike other children who basically gave fifty. start.
Looking at the background of the family's departure, the Xia family felt a sense of powerlessness.Just now everyone, including a few children, gave red envelopes. If they don't give them, they will stay at their house forever.Fortunately, their family is like this every year, and the people in Xiashang Village have long been used to it, so the red envelopes they give are also specially packaged, the most is no more than three yuan, and the least is one piece.Feng Duo felt suffocated, and Feng Shao turned around and the family would scold them for being mean behind their backs, which was simply annoying.
In fact, for the people in Xiashang Village, they don't even want to seal a dollar, and they have never seen such a shameless person.It's a pity that you can't be angry during the Chinese New Year. The other party also takes a fancy to this, so they come to ask for red envelopes every family.No matter how much it is, if you get one piece, it is one piece, and every family can get two or 300 yuan when they transfer it. It is definitely a profit.
"What happened to that family?"
Seeing that Xia Mu hadn't come over for a long time, Chen Ju came to pick him up a little worried. Who knew that he happened to meet this wonderful family.
"The best for the whole family."
Xia Mu didn't want to say it.
Originally, people who are out of the fifth server will not deliberately come to ask for red envelopes. If they meet by chance, elders with better families may give a little red envelopes, but most people will not give red envelopes to the clan members of the fifth server. .But this family’s thinking is a little different. They think that since they are juniors, it’s only natural to ask the elders for red envelopes. Otherwise, they usually call you uncle and master, aunt and grandma, so how can you not give red envelopes?If you have the ability, don't answer when you are called normally!
When they met such a shameless family, they didn't even care about the fact that they couldn't make five suits, what else could everyone do!
