Chapter 27: Relatives?
"Alright, alright!"
"Eldest grandson, don't keep hugging your dad, since you're back, let's hurry up and prepare, and we're about to set off!"
Grandpa Jiang Chen was also crying and laughing.
"Go?"
"Grandpa, where are you going?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"Go to your uncle's house. ”
Grandpa Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
Jiang Chen's grandparents gave birth to a total of three children, namely the eldest uncle Jiang Yongshan, the second aunt Jiang Jinfeng, and Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Qingshan, the youngest in line.
And in Grandpa Jiang Chen, a big family.
Jiang Chen's uncle, Jiang Yongshan, is currently the most promising, and now he is the director of the entire Guangjiang City Environmental Protection Bureau!
Everyone knows that working at the EPA is a fat job!
Because many enterprises and factories now discharge excessive emissions, waste is secretly discharged into the river, causing river pollution. Once the EPA finds out, it will demand that it need to suspend business for rectification, and issue a fine of hundreds of thousands, or even millions!
Some factory owners would go through the back door and send money to the EPA to secretly release water when they inspected the bosses' factories.
Jiang Chen's uncle, as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, can imagine how much oil and water he can fish!
But.
As far as Jiang Chen knows.
This uncle of his is quite honest and honest as an official, and he is self-denying, and in the face of those factory owners who come to give money and gifts, they all refuse unceremoniously!
When he was a child, his uncle often hugged him, and he was an elder that Jiang Chen respected more. During the New Year's holidays, Jiang Chen will also go to pay New Year's greetings.
It's just that his uncle is a bit strict with his wife, that is, Jiang Chen's aunt. She doesn't like Jiang Chen's family very much, and every time she goes to pay New Year's greetings, she puts on a stinky face, so Jiang Chen rarely goes back after that.
Jiang's father, Jiang Qingshan, explained:
"Son, your uncle's daughter Jiang Lu, that is, your cousin came back from abroad today, and she just called us to come over for a meal, saying that it was to pick up the wind and wash the dust for your cousin. ”
Relatives, after all.
And it was his father who spoke, so Jiang Chen did not refuse.
After preparing some things a little, I went to the supermarket to buy a box of six walnuts and a pair of Jian Nanchun, and the father and son set off.
More than twenty minutes later.
The father and son went to the uncle's house.
Jiang Chen's father knocked lightly on the door a few times.
Knock! Knock!
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was a girl with eyes, delicate appearance, and fashionable dress.
The other party didn't recognize Jiang Chen and his father at a glance.
He frowned directly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Haha, Lulu, why did you stay abroad for more than a year, why don't you know your Uncle Qingshan?" Jiang Qingshan smiled slightly embarrassedly.
"Oh...... Remembered. ”
The girl thought for a while before she remembered, but there was still not much enthusiasm on her face, and she said lukewarmly: "Come in." ”
and shouted coldly into the house: "Dad, Uncle Qingshan is here." ”
Then.
The girl didn't pay attention to Jiang Chen and his father.
Instead, he went back to his room by himself, and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down as he walked.
This is Jiang Chen's only daughter, Jiang Lu, that is, Jiang Chen's cousin, who is three years older than Jiang Chen. I had been studying abroad before, and then I was working abroad, and now I have only transferred back to China.
Although the two families haven't seen each other for two or three years, they are real relatives after all, but Jiang Chen can't see any enthusiasm between relatives from this cousin.
Jiang Chen's attitude towards his relatives has always been.
What kind of attitude the other party gives you, he will reply with what kind of attitude.
Now.
Jiang Chen followed her father to her house as a guest, and this cousin had such an indifferent attitude, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't give her a face.
Soon.
A middle-aged man of the same age as Jiang Chen's father, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen, still holding a spoon in his hand.
It is Jiang Chen's uncle, Jiang Yongshan.
greeted Jiang Chen's father warmly: "Hahaha, Qingshan, you can be regarded as here!"
Jiang Yongshan is still very enthusiastic about Jiang Chen's father, not at all like his daughter just now.
Immediately, Jiang Yongshan noticed Jiang Chen on the side, and asked happily on the spot, "This is Xiaochen, right?"
"Uncle, it's me. ”
Jiang Chen smiled politely and nodded.
"Hahaha, Xiaochen, you haven't been to your uncle's house for a few years......, have you?
Jiang Yongshan patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and smiled happily.
And immediately beckoned: "Come on, come on, Qingshan, Xiaochen, don't stand still, sit down casually ......"
happened to see Jiang Lu who was about to go back to his room, and immediately shouted:
"Lulu, you're so disrespectful, didn't you see your Uncle Qingshan and your cousin come to the house as guests?
Behold.
Jiang Lu replied impatiently:
"Dad, I'm busy, you let them pour it themselves. ”
After speaking.
Jiang Lu went back to her room by herself, whether it was her tone or expression, she didn't regard Jiang Chen's father and son as relatives at all.
Relatives?
Hehe!!
Jiang Lu sneered and disdainful in his heart.
She naturally knew that Jiang Chen's father was her uncle and Jiang Chen was her cousin, but she still didn't pour tea for the two.
It's not that she doesn't understand etiquette, it's that she doesn't think it's necessary!
Because she knew that Jiang Chen's family had always been inferior to her family.
And she is busy using her mobile phone to chat and fall in love with her foreign boyfriend at the moment, how can she have the time to pour tea for Jiang Chen's father and son?
In Jiang Lu's opinion, it is important for relatives to have boyfriends, and they are also boyfriends abroad!
"Hey, this child has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and now she is becoming more and more disobedient. ”
Jiang Yongshan shook his head angrily.
I could only shout to the bedroom: "Child, mother, Qingshan and Xiaochen are guests at home, you hurry up and come out to entertain ......"
"I heard, I heard, what did you urge?"
There was also a very impatient sound from the bedroom.
Bang dang!
The bedroom door was opened heavily, and there was a middle-aged woman who was dressed very fashionably, well-maintained, and had a wavy hairstyle.
It's Jiang Chen's aunt!
As soon as the eldest aunt saw Jiang Chen's father and son, she looked impatient, and glared at Jiang Yongshan fiercely:
"What are you urging? Isn't it just a broken relative, and it's not a leader who comes to the house as a guest, as for making you so excited, and they have hands and feet, you just let them do it themselves...... Save yourself so much trouble......"
"What are you calling this? Qingshan is my younger brother, Xiaochen is my nephew, they are all my own family, can I not be happy to be a guest at home?" Jiang Yongshan smiled innocently.
Who knew that the eldest aunt went back directly:
"What's the matter? Jiang Yongshan, now that you are the director of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, you feel that your wings are stiff, so you just talked back to your mother?"
"Don't forget, you can be in this position because my father, that is, your father-in-law, is the previous director, and he recommended you! Otherwise, you will never be the director......
