After eating supper at Yi Wenqi's house, the Demon King ran to cultivate in frustration. Subsequently, because he was worried that his whereabouts would be discovered, he returned to Shen Yifan's house.

In Shen Yifan's house, there is nothing else to do except read a book, and the only TV in the family is in Shen Yifan's parents' room.

The Demon King suddenly felt that it was time to buy a house by himself, otherwise it would be too inconvenient, and now there was no place where he could do whatever he wanted.

……

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Yifan finally had a free day, after he rode to the grove to absorb the aura, he went to have breakfast, and then came to the empty place and trained well.

Shen Yifan practiced diligently all day, and in the evening, because he had promised his parents to go to his uncle's house for dinner today, he had to pack up his things and go back.

After arriving home, his mother asked Shen Yifan to change his clothes and dress handsomely. Shen Yifan went upstairs into his room, and couldn't help but take out the coat that Lin Mengxi bought for him, but after thinking about the smoky situation on the dinner table, he silently put the coat back and took another one instead.

When he went downstairs, his mother complained, "You kid, you make so much money, and you don't know how to buy some nice clothes." I'm not at home all day, otherwise I'd have taken you shopping for clothes. ”

Shen Yifan said indifferently: "Mom, they are all relatives, they all know the roots, why is there any need to dress up brightly." ”

His mother slapped him lightly and said, "This year is different, our family Yifan has been in the top ten of the grade this year, how can he not dress better." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yifan's father also narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's the reason! Let's go buy a new dress for our son." ”

"Dad, don't use it, it's even more embarrassing to see that you went to dinner and deliberately bought a dress first. Shen Yifan said helplessly. However, he is still a little relieved, his results have made his parents a lot more confident, and he can also raise his head in front of relatives. Although he repeatedly confessed that he couldn't tell outsiders about making a lot of money, the final grades were real, enough for his parents to brag about until the next midterm exam. And he also firmly believes that his results in the next exam will only be better.

After deciding not to buy new clothes, the family went to the uncle's house in high spirits.

Shen Yifan's house was in the north of the entire village, near a big road, but his uncle's house was at the southern end of the village. But after all, it's in the same village, it's not too far, just walk over.

Shen Yifan's father Shen Shixing has a total of five brothers and sisters, and he is the third, with an eldest brother, an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother.

Shen Yifan's uncle's name is Shen Shinan and he is a fish seller. It's very hard to get up early and stay dark every day. However, his business is not bad, he has a lot of old customers, and he can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is much better than Shen Yifan's family conditions, where both husband and wife are workers.

He has a son and a daughter. His son, Shen Dayong, 26 years old, drives a truck in a machine factory and earns more than ordinary workers. Shen Dayong's wife, Xu Xiaoli, is a 24-year-old worker in a garment factory. The two had a son, who had just turned three. Shen Shinan's daughter, Shen Yanping, 22 years old, also works in a factory.

Shen Yifan rarely goes to his uncle's house to play, on the one hand, the conditions of his family are the worst among several relatives, and he is more or less looked down upon, on the other hand, he has not been the type of sweet-mouthed and sycophant since he was a child, and he doesn't like adults very much, and there is that whether it is a cousin, a cousin, a cousin, or a cousin, a cousin, the age gap with him is relatively large, and he can't play together.

When the family came to the uncle's house, there were already many people sitting in the hall, and the uncle beckoned them to come in at the door.

The uncle's house, like Shen Yifan's house, is also a self-built house, with two floors. However, before Shen Yifan's cousin Shen Dayong got married, his home was well decorated, so it was much more glorious than Shen Yifan's house. The ground floor of the house is all covered with marble, and the walls are covered with wallpaper.

There were two tables in the whole hall, and a table in the kitchen at the back, which was dedicated to entertaining ladies and children. In addition to the uncle's younger siblings, some relatives of the aunt's family also came.

Shen Yifan's mother walked to the kitchen after entering the door, and Shen Yifan was going to follow, because he didn't like to sit with a group of middle-aged and elderly men, he couldn't stand the smell of smoke, and he didn't drink. But his father grabbed him, and today he has to rely on his son to save face.

Shen Yifan's father pulled his son to sit at a table in the middle of the hall, where Shen Yifan's eldest uncle You Tiegen and his son You Jiandong were already sitting. They live in Changping Town, next door to Kangqiao Town, and do a fruit business, with an income similar to that of the uncle's family, and a van for purchasing goods.

Seeing Shen Yifan sitting in the hall for the first time, You Tiegen politely asked: "Yifan, how did you do in the exam this time?" He just asked routinely, not expecting to get any noteworthy reply, because Shen Yifan's grades have always been very "stable", and he is always so bad. However, Shen Yifan's grades are still much stronger than his son You Jiandong, and his son's grades were outrageously bad at the beginning, so after graduating from junior high school, he didn't even let him go to secondary school, and went directly to the family's fruit stall to help.

Shen Yifan didn't like to show off very much, so he simply replied: "It's okay." ”

His father couldn't sit still, and pretended to be casual and said, "Well, it's not bad, this time it's the tenth in the grade." ”

His words really caused a stir in the hall.

This house is all relatives, and they don't live far away, so they are very familiar with each other. They only knew that Shen Shixing's son's grades were passable, and he was already at a good level in this family. But I didn't expect that when the high school entrance examination was approaching, this kid actually began to improve by leaps and bounds, and entered the top ten in the grade!

What is the concept of the top 10 in the grade? If you maintain this grade, you can properly enter the first middle school in the city, and it is at least at the middle level in the first middle school in the city. If nothing else, I'm sure I'll be able to get into university. You must know that the entire old Shen family has never had a college student, will he be the first?

It's just strange that Shen Yifan has been very serious before, but his grades are nothing special, everyone thinks he has a very average mind, why did his grades suddenly become so good, could it be that he suddenly opened his mind because of something?

Regardless of whether it was against his will or not, many people came forward to praise Shen Yifan, saying that he was the hope of the entire family, which made Shen Yifan a little flattered. Shen Yifan secretly admired, his father is usually silent, but if he pretends to be forced, he is just a blockbuster.

Soon, the ladies in the kitchen also knew the news, and they had a heated discussion, which made Shen Yifan's mother feel more face-saving.

This wave of discussion did not stop until Shen Yifan's aunt's family and uncle's family came.

Soon, Shen Yifan's little uncle and uncle began to lead the conversation.

Shen Yifan's youngest uncle is called Hu Erniu, in his forties, and he is also from Kangqiao Town, but in another village. He opened a small factory, which is considered a small boss, and his income is naturally much higher than that of his uncle and uncle who are engaged in small businesses.

Shen Yifan's uncle is called Shen Shiwei, thirty-nine years old, working as a salesman in a machinery and equipment factory, seeing a lot of the world, being more proficient in things, and his income is quite good. I heard that he sometimes secretly put the money into his pocket, but told the boss that he couldn't receive the money and it became a bad debt. Relying on this kind of money that comes from the wrong way, his family has built a small western-style house, which makes many people look blushing.

As soon as the two of them came, they always began to talk about some high-minded things such as going out to fish with customers and singing, because these two were the best mixed among the relatives, so everyone echoed them.

Shen Yifan felt more and more bored, eating alone and not talking.

When Shen Shiwei heard that Shen Yifan did well in the exam this time, he specially said to Shen Yifan's father: "If Yifan has difficulties in tuition fees in the future, don't be polite, just ask." It is difficult for our family to have a reader, and if we can read, we must continue to read. ”

Shen Yifan's father laughed dryly, if he wants to say that the tuition fees are ready, it is estimated that others will not believe it.

After a while, several relatives began to persuade Shen Yifan's father to work tirelessly in the factory and get a dead salary, what is the point, or find a way to come out to do business, and also prepare more marriage money for his son, Shen Yifan's father could only answer vaguely.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the topic to change again.

After a while, he said which boss went to gamble, gambled too much, and sold the factory to pay off the gambling debts.

After a while, he said that his son was addicted to drugs and was tied to the bed by his father and did not let him go out.

After a while, he said which boss raised a mistress and was caught and beaten by his wife.

Then so-and-so had an affair with so-and-so and was seen.

In short, they are all topics that the masses of the people like to see.

However, Shen Yifan found that Shen Shinan, the uncle who was the protagonist of tonight, and his son Shen Dayong were not very interested.

Finally stayed up until the end of the meal, Shen Shinan left his two younger brothers behind, saying that he had something to talk about, and the other guests returned home one after another.

Anyway, it's not far from home, so Shen Yifan and his mother went back first, not waiting for his father.

It was a long time before Shen Yifan's father returned home, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.

Shen Yifan wanted to ask his father what happened, but his father didn't say a word when he got home, and went directly into his bedroom.

After his mother also returned to the bedroom, the curious Shen Yifan hid outside the door and eavesdropped. Relying on the blessing of True Qi, his hearing was much better.

In a blur, Shen Yifan finally knew the truth - his cousin Shen Dayong suspected his wife Xu Xiaoli of cheating with someone else.

Tonight, Shen Shinan deliberately left his two younger brothers behind to discuss the solution, because the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he didn't dare to tell others. In the face of this kind of thing, the two younger brothers don't have much strategy, as the saying goes, catch the rape in bed, and it is difficult to force the other party to admit it just by relying on some things to catch the wind and shadows.

After Shen Shiwei agreed to find someone to investigate, Shen Shinan was a little relieved.

Shen Yifan sympathizes with his cousin, the taste of cuckolding is not pleasant, and he doesn't know if that son is his.

……

……

On the morning of the same day, Lin Mengxi was nervously waiting for her mother to come back in her room, she was sitting at the desk, but she didn't have the heart to read at all. The curtains in the room were opened, and she could see the situation at the door at any time, and from time to time she would stretch her neck to look over, but unfortunately all she got back was disappointment.

It was almost noon, Aunt Mei started to cook, and Lin Mengxi had already instructed her to prepare more dishes today, especially her mother's favorite fried reeds and steamed sea bass.

Seeing that the meal was about to be ready, a taxi finally stopped slowly at the door of Lin Mengxi's house.

Mom is back! Lin Mengxi rushed downstairs excitedly.
