Chapter Twenty-Three: Not a Family

The Shen family lives in Jade Dragon Villa. It is said that it is a mountain villa, where does the mountain in this provincial capital come from, but it is just the soil that came out when digging Xiushui Lake, piled up a mountain bag, planted some trees, built a pavilion, and made a park. I don't know who got the courage to name a small dirt bag Yulong Mountain!

Yulong Villa is close to the park and borrows the name of the domineering people. The environment of the community is good, it is the first batch of villa communities in the city, although it looks a little old, but with the rise of land prices, the value will naturally rise. So the people who live here are either rich or expensive.

There are a total of 99 villas in the community, and the Shen family accounts for three. Shen's grandfather, Shen Mingda, Shen Chi's uncle Shen Kuan, and Shen Kuan's son Shen Yuming's family live together. And Shen Enze is Shen Yuming's son, so he is called Shen Chi's second uncle. To put it simply, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen live with their eldest son and great-grandson.

There is also a house where Shen Chi's father and stepmother live. There is also a house where Shen Chi's third uncle's family lives. The three villas are not grouped together, but are scattered throughout the complex. Shen Chi is an aunt, the youngest in line, who lives in the Xiushui community on the other side of the park.

The ancestors of the Shen family, that is, the time of the Republic of China, opened a big dyeing workshop, Shen Chi's great-grandfather, very business-minded, in the war-torn era, the business was also done well, and the mix was booming. Later, it was no longer possible, and all the family property was confiscated.

Shen Chi's grandfather, Shen Mingda, is in his seventies, the same age as Grandma Chen. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he worked in a state-owned textile factory, and in the late 70s, he began to trade in small businesses. is bent on reviving the Shen family's family business, and he really made it happen! It is also a good time to catch up with the reform and opening up.

Now the Shen family runs a garment factory, which is a local star enterprise, and it is not dared to say in the whole country, but it must be the first in the same industry and the same industry in the local area.

It is not so much that the Shen family runs it, but that it is run by Shen Kuan, Shen Chi's uncle, and Grandpa Shen's eldest son. Shen Chi's father and third uncle and sister-in-law each only have five percent of the dry shares and have no management rights.

Grandpa Shen has the idea of a feudal patriarch, and most of the family business is the eldest son! Although this eldest son is not very competitive, he is more than enough to open up. But the victory is to be steady and filial! It is enough to keep this family business. The most satisfying thing is to give birth to a good grandson!

Shen Yuming, this is the meat of the old man's heart. not only inherited his smart mind, inherited his father's stability, but also inherited the domineering spirit of his grandfather's family! Not only can you guard, but you can also break through! The hope of the Shen family is pinned on him! I married my son a soldier's daughter, I really married the right one!

Shen Chi, Shen Enze, and Zhao Cheng came to grandpa's house together. The men are not at home, only Grandma Shen and the eldest aunt are at home.

"It's late! I heard that you were back, and I didn't come to the house to sit! It was the eldest aunt who opened the door, and she saw Shen Chi greeting warmly, that is, greeting, and there would be no more.

It's not that she doesn't like Shen Chi, she was still very pitiful to this child who didn't love her father and mother, and she once wanted to take it back and raise it. But Shen Chi has been indifferent to everyone since he was sensible. It's not that it's not polite, it's very polite, it's too polite! is polite to everyone, and no one can enter his heart. After a long time, all thoughts have faded. Since you're going to be polite, I'll be polite.

"Auntie, this is the grape that my classmates and I went to the mountains to buy yesterday, but they are sweet. You and your grandparents try it. ”

"Hey! Look at you, a little child, come to your uncle's house and get something! Not next time. "Look, how polite you are, and you know not to come empty-handed. Eighteen-year-olds! The third family Yulong Yujiao, when did you take something!

As for Zhao Cheng, there is no need to say hello, this is his own child, who lives here for half a year.

Grandma Shen had already heard the voice, but she was still sitting in the living room, and she didn't have the joy of seeing her grandson who she hadn't seen for a long time. She doesn't like her second son Shen Nian very much, she has a cold personality, is taciturn, and disobedient! I don't like Shen Chi's own mother even more, that is a ruthless and unrighteous woman. So for Shen Chi, it is also light. She has several grandchildren, all of whom are more pleasing than Shen Chi, not worse than him.

Shen Chi also knew that his grandmother didn't like him, oh, no one in the Shen family liked him, except for his sister-in-law, but they didn't hate him. Everyone is so indifferent to him, so he is also indifferent. He never does anything like sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass!

"Grandma, I've come to see you, are you okay?" Shen Chi asked gently and politely.

"Okay." And then there was none.

Shen Enze and Zhao Chengru sat on pins and needles. Every time! The second brother (second uncle) is obviously such a good person! Grandma (too grandma) just doesn't like it! It's too eccentric!

It's so embarrassing, who's going to save them......

"Come, everyone come to eat grapes and taste whether the grapes bought by Ah Chi are sweet or not!"

Long live the eldest aunt (grandmother).

Coming out of the uncle's house, Shen Chi also breathed a sigh of relief. It's so depressing! So he didn't want to go home. But he always has to come back during the New Year's holidays, and it seems that his study abroad plan is going to be advanced!

After that, he went to the third uncle's house, which was fine, and there was no one at home.

Eventually, he returned to his home. Dad and Aunt Lin are not at home. The eldest brother and sister also went out to play, only Liu Tinghui, the daughter born to Aunt Lin and her ex-husband.

"Second brother, you're back!" The girl's voice was crisp and bright, revealing joy.

"Yes." Shen Chi's reaction was still faint. He is indifferent to the eldest brother and younger sister who are half blooded, let alone to this sister who is not blooded. Besides, this sister is not small in her thoughts.

"Second brother, why did you come back! I want to ~ you ~~"

Shen Chi snapped and closed the door.

Leaving Liu Tinghui twisted on the spot for a while, and then closed the door with a bang. After all, at the age of fourteen, he can't do it on his own.

There is an aunt at home who cooks and is responsible for three meals a day. There are many children in the family, and his brother and sister Liu Tinghui, he doesn't live at home, so he doesn't count. Dad and Aunt Lin are busy with work again. If there is no one at home to cook, it really doesn't feel like a home.

At six o'clock, the aunt will cook the meal, and everyone in the family will basically come back at this time.

Sure enough, at five fifty-five, he heard a voice downstairs, and his father and Aunt Lin came back together. They work in the same hospital, Dad is a doctor, Aunt Lin is a nurse, it's a good match, isn't it?

They got married twelve years ago, Dad was married for the third time, and Aunt Lin was married for the second time. Dad took two sons, Aunt Lin brought a daughter, and gave birth to another daughter after marriage. What a blessed family! On the surface, hehe.

He got up and went downstairs. He is the most polite child, how can the elders not say hello when they come back.

"Dad, Aunt Lin, I'm back." Gentle laughter.

"Well, how are the schools?" Shen Nian asked expressionlessly. As for Aunt Lin, she smiled and didn't speak. In fact, Aunt Lin is as taciturn as her father, what a perfect match!

"It's all right."

"Yes, let's eat."

Stuck at the point, the eldest brother Shen Yudong and the younger sister Shen Yuling are back. The eldest brother is twenty-three this year and is a graduate student in this city, studying philosophy. It's perfect for someone like him who can speak well!

My little sister is eleven this year, in her first year of junior high school, and she is probably playing with her classmates. This little sister really got the true inheritance of her parents, and she is also a stuffy gourd. At least he will be polite and polite to the elders and take the initiative to say hello, the little sister is the kind that others don't talk to her, and she resolutely doesn't speak.

It seems that the words of this family are all said by the eldest brother alone. Liu Huiting is also very good at speaking, but her surname is Liu, which doesn't count.

Fortunately, there are two things to say, and the atmosphere at the dinner table is not dull.

"Ah Chi, what are your plans after graduation?"

Shen Chi smiled, "It's still early, I'm only a sophomore now." ”

"It's better to plan early, plan early and implement early, and you can't think about it until it's over, it's too late!"

Shen Chi listened, and his heart warmed. This big brother, although he is not close, he does not hate it either.

"I'm going to study abroad."

Shen Nian raised his head to look at him, opened his mouth to say something, and then withdrew it. Liu Huiting also raised her head and looked at Shen Chi with envy in her eyes.

"Study abroad? You're already a sophomore, and it's a hassle to transfer schools. Have you figured out where to go? When to go? What to learn? ”

"The school chose a few, but it still depends on the final exam results. I'm going to start over and not do a transfer. I'm still young, and there's nothing wrong with learning the basics for an extra year. ”

Finally, Shen Nian said: "If you go, you have to study hard." "Wrapping up the topic.
