Chapter 344: This Is Another One?
When I entered the house, there were two big whites standing at the door, and when I saw Cheng Yuan and Cheng Zhihuai coming in, one of them immediately opened his mouth to welcome: "Welcome back, sir, your relatives have arrived." Is it your guest behind you, do you need me to add another seat for him?"
"Thank you. Cheng Yuan nodded to Dabai, then glanced at Cheng Zhihuai and said, "Don't use it first, maybe he will leave immediately." β
Cheng Yuan's words were very direct and did not have the slightest scruples.
The corners of Cheng Zhihuai's mouth couldn't help twitching when he listened, but he didn't say anything, after all, he felt a little blushing in the next thing.
"Yes, sir. Da Bai answered, and then walked towards the living room with Cheng Yuan and Cheng Zhihuai.
In the living room, Cheng Yuan's family, Guo Xiaolian's family, and Cheng Yuan's uncle and second uncle all came.
At this time, the four families got together and had a good conversation.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle's family all had a faint smile on their faces at this time, but their expressions were a little restrained, after all, they also knew that they were a little inauthentic before, and now the people of the third family are willing to forgive them, so they naturally have to carefully maintain this relationship.
Because whether it is from the family and bloodline, or from the mutual interests, this relationship is extremely precious.
So before the meal, the two families looked at the faces of Cheng Yuan's parents and were slightly flattering.
Father Cheng looked at his two brothers and his family like this, and his heart was very complicated, with a hint of pride and joy, but the most was emotional.
If it weren't for their own son, maybe they wouldn't have met their younger brother in their lives, right?
When Cheng Yuan and Cheng Zhihuai walked into the living room under the leadership of Dabai, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan is the real core figure of this family gathering, without his approval. The two families did not dare to come here either. And without Cheng Yuan's consent, even Cheng Yuan's parents want to do this, it is very difficult.
This is very strange to say, although Cheng Yuan is the youngest of the four families except for his sister. Even Guo Xiaolian is a few months older than him.
But Cheng Yuan's right to speak is the heaviest of the four related families.
This has nothing to do with family affection, it is a natural instinct for people to follow the strong.
"I'm sorry. Came a little late. Cheng Yuan smiled apologetically.
Father Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's not too late, who is the person behind you, Xiaoyuan?"
Hearing Cheng's father's words, everyone looked at Cheng Zhihuai beside Cheng Yuan curiously, his age seemed to be in his early thirties, older than Cheng Yuan but younger than Cheng Yuan's parents.
The most important thing is that the other party is also wearing a very bright military uniform.
Seeing everyone looking at Cheng Zhihuai, Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders. He looked at his parents and said, "He's here for you." β
"We?" Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were both stunned for a moment, and then their eyes became even more puzzled, they were very ordinary ordinary ordinary people, if it weren't for their son suddenly developed, they couldn't even afford to buy a brick in this villa, how could they still know such an officer?
Thinking of this, they looked at Cheng Zhihuai with a look of inquiry in their eyes.
"Ahem!" was watched by everyone, Cheng Zhihuai was not stage frightened, after all, his experience was not comparable to ordinary people, and naturally he would not feel uncomfortable because he was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
"Everyone. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Cheng Zhihuai, and my father's name is Cheng Guodong. My grandfather's name is Cheng Baoguo. After Cheng Zhihuai said these names, he first carefully looked at the older people present, and found that they were all at a loss, so he sighed secretly in his heart.
"The old man really has a problem, after all, the relationship is so far away, and the time has passed so long, who will admit it?"
Sighing in his heart, Cheng Zhihuai took out an old red silk cloth from the inner pocket of his clothes and said, "This is the genealogy of our Cheng family." Your grandfather's name is Chen Weiguo, and he is a brother to my grandfather. β
Cheng Zhihuai just finished speaking. The faces of the people in the entire hall became extremely strange, and Father Cheng and his two brothers glanced at each other. All of them were full of doubts.
It's too far away, their father's father's own brother, they don't know anything about these things.
The only thing they know is that their old Cheng family used to be a small landlord.
Besides, their names are all single words, the eldest Cheng Peng, the second Cheng Yi, and the third Cheng Hong, it is impossible to have a generation.
If so, why didn't their father mention it, and why didn't their grandfather say it?
The most important thing is that the relationship is related to the ancestors, and the two sides have not been in contact, and suddenly a person said that their ancestors are relatives.
In this way, Cheng Yuan's father, Cheng Hong, suddenly glanced at his two brothers with strange eyes, what did it mean......
Cheng Peng and Cheng Yi were suddenly extremely embarrassed, they hurriedly coughed a few times, and Cheng Peng stood up at this time and said, "That Cheng ...... Mr. Cheng. β
Cheng Peng didn't know how to call Cheng Zhihuai, so he could only call him 'sir' temporarily.
"We don't know much about the genealogy, although our Cheng family also has it, but I have also seen that the genealogy starts from our grandfather's generation, that is to say, our father is the second generation of this Cheng family, we are the third generation, and Xiaoyuan They are the fourth generation, and there is no more, so ......"
Cheng Peng's meaning is obvious, our Cheng family and your Cheng family are not a family at all, you are a senior military officer, don't come to our relatives.
"That's it......" Cheng Zhihuai naturally understood what Cheng Peng meant, he nodded, then put away the genealogy in his hand, and then said to Cheng Yuan: "Excuse me, I'll leave now." β
Cheng Yuan glanced at Cheng Zhihuai strangely, but he didn't keep it, and said casually: "Dabai, send Staff Officer Cheng away." β
"Please follow me Mr. Cheng. β
Hearing Cheng Yuan's order, Da Bai immediately said to Cheng Zhihuai.
After Cheng Zhihuai left, Cheng Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, the outsiders have sent them away, we can start, there is a reason why I brought everyone together this time." β
Heard Cheng Yuan speak. Everyone looked at him silently.
ββ
On the other side, after Cheng Zhihuai walked out of the gate of the Cheng family, he showed a relieved look on his face. To be honest, even if their ancestors are brothers, not to mention that the two families have been separated by so many generations. The fact that there has been no contact for decades alone already shows that these two families with the same roots and origins have been divided into two families and have no relationship.
The saying "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors" is not a casual statement.
Although he also understands his old man's thoughts, sometimes it's just wishful thinking, and you don't want people to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
After all, you didn't come to look for them before their family was developed, and if at that time, if you were willing, the other party would definitely not refuse. After all, who would refuse to let themselves live a better life?
If there is, then it is not that he is noble, but how hypocritical he is.
But now, with the value of others, do you still need to let you come to this set? In vain, it will only make people suspicious, if you don't come sooner or later, who can not doubt it when you come at this time?
Although Cheng Zhihuai also knows that his old man definitely does not fancy Cheng Yuan's foundation. Instead, he wants the outstanding talents of the Cheng family to return to the family.
But you have to be believed!
After coming out, Cheng Zhihuai said to Yang Qiaoyuan, who was still waiting: "The matter is done, let's go." β
Yang Qiaoyuan glanced at Cheng Zhihuai left and right. "Success?"
Cheng Zhihuai shook his head, "No, they said that their family's genealogy started from their grandfather's generation, and there was no more." β
"I feel that it is right not to admit it, with the temper of the old man of your family who has to take care of everything and everything according to his ideas, he will definitely have a conflict with Cheng Yuan, after all, Cheng Yuan is not you, and he will not tolerate outsiders pointing fingers at him. Yang Qiaoyuan smiled. "Besides, it's not just your old man who is doing it this time. Your brothers and sisters have also made a lot of efforts. β
Cheng Zhihuai paused for a moment, and then showed a wry smile. "You'll find it pretty quickly. Then he nodded, and did not deny Yang Qiaoyuan's words, "After all, who is not interested in such a large share of property, when they learned that the Cheng family was still related to them, they immediately wanted to come over, if it wasn't for the old man to stop them, they would have come long ago." β
"Hey!" Yang Qiaoyuan smiled coldly, "It's still Old Man Cheng who has insight, you may not know how many departments were dispatched to protect Cheng Yuan, if your Cheng family crashes into the muzzle, it will be ......."
There was no need for Yang Qiaoyuan to finish speaking, Cheng Zhihuai also knew what the other party meant, and after getting in the car, he directly dialed the phone at home.
In the capital, in an antique villa, dozens of people gathered in a spacious hall.
The leader was an old man with a white beard, the wrinkles on the old man's face were very deep, but his spirit was very good, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were even brighter.
At the old man's hand, four middle-aged men sat upright one by one, their faces were calm, and beside them were some gorgeously dressed ladies, all of whom were jeweled and extravagant.
Below them were some young people about the same size as Cheng Yuan, both men and women, all dressed fashionably, but unlike their parents, although they also sat in their own places, they each had their own things.
Some of them whispered to each other, some of them kept playing with their phones, and none of them were idle anyway.
This family is Cheng Zhihuai's family, and the old man is Cheng Zhihuai's father, Cheng Guodong!
"Jingle bellβ"
The crisp and loud phone rang, everyone stopped the movement in their hands, and several middle-aged people under Cheng Guodong suddenly held their breath one by one, looking at the ringing phone with a little nervousness.
One of the gorgeously dressed women couldn't help but whisper: "Dad, it must be the second brother calling, you pick it up!"
Cheng Guodong glanced at his daughter-in-law lightly, and didn't pick up the microphone until the second phone rang.
"Hey. β
"Oh. β
"I see. β
Cheng Guodong picked up the phone, said just three sentences, a total of six words, and then hung up the phone.
"I didn't say it, people don't recognize us as relatives. After finishing speaking, Cheng Guodong got up and left the hall directly. And after he left, the faces of several middle-aged people in the hall were very ugly.
"Don't recognize it!?, people nowadays, once they are developed, they even forget their ancestors!" one of them said coldly.
If Cheng Yuan heard this person's words, he would definitely reply with three letters: "W, T, F!!" (to be continued.) )
