Chen Mo helped carry Chen Jianguo's big box, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw his aunt Chen Kangmei helping Chen Yizhou out of the main room. Chen Kangmei is 44 years old this year and has inherited the outstanding appearance characteristics of the Chen family. Although she is more than ten years older than Rong Jing, she has an outstanding temperament, the whole person glows with a look from the inside out, plus good maintenance, and her dress is also trendy, so she doesn't look much older than Rong Jing.

Rong Jing's appearance is not bad, otherwise Chen Jianguo would not have divorced because of her. But she is just an ordinary beautiful woman, but Chen Kangmei is more intellectual, more confident, and more indescribable elegance than her. As for Chen Mo's second aunt Ma Jing, it seems that she already knew that this would happen, so she hid in the kitchen, just not to get along with her.

Chen Yizhou's attention has been on Xiao Chen Mo's body, seeing that she moved a small bench and wanted to climb up along the grape trellis to pick grapes, he hurriedly asked Li Shan to take a good look at her.

But Chen Kangmei stared at Chen Mo with a quiet smile on her face. Chen Mo ran a few steps, and when he arrived in front of Chen Kangmei, he stood still, hesitated, put down the box, opened his arms and gently hugged her. "Auntie."

Chen Kangmei patted him on the back and smiled: "It seems that I have tanned a little this year, but my Xiao Mo is more manly." …… Will you forgive your dad? ”

Chen Mo smiled embarrassedly and said, "I used to be too stubborn. ”

Chen Kangmei smiled and said, "Go and put things down first, and come over to talk later." ”

Chen Mo couldn't help but ask, "I called you a few days ago, but I didn't hear you say that you wanted to come back?!" Why did you come back all of a sudden?! ”

"Keeping it secret for the time being......" Looking at Chen Mo with a stunned expression, Chen Kangmei patted his face and smiled: "I'll tell you later." ”

A few people in the courtyard greeted each other again, and when Chen Mo and Rong Jing put their luggage away, they returned to the courtyard. Chen Mo was already in her aunt's arms and refused to come down, still carrying a bunch of washed grapes in her hand, and ate it in a big gulp.

Chen Yizhou looked at his children and grandchildren gathered together, sitting in the recliner, shaking twice as often as usual, looking very happy. Chen Mo walked to his recliner and helped him control the shaking with his hands. "Your blood pressure is relatively high, you don't dare to shake so fast."

"I'm not a glass man, how can it be so serious! You and Xiao Zheng go to the storage room to take out the unused tabletop, clean it, and we will sit under the vine and eat in the evening. ”

"No matter how good your health is, you can't just do it, auntie, look at grandpa, don't let him mess around."

"Xiaozheng, this task is entrusted to you, come and guard grandpa." Chen Kangmei hugged Chen Mo and put her beside Chen Yizhou. "Xiao Mo'er, my aunt and my brother are going to work, and you are responsible for accompanying grandpa and telling grandpa stories, okay?"

"I'll sleep with you that night, and will you pigtail me tomorrow? Mom doesn't know how to wear that kind of pigtails, she is so ugly. ”

Rong Jing, who was sitting on the side chatting with Li Shan, said, "Xiao Mo'er, have you forgotten what I told you?!" When talking to elders, you have to talk about you, and it is rude to say that you are. ”

Chen Mo asked strangely: "Then we don't talk about you every day......"

Rong Jing wanted to say more, Chen Kangmei said with a smile: "It's okay, Mo'er is still young, and when she is sensible, she will naturally understand this truth." She turned back to Xiao Mo'er and nodded seriously, and said, "Of course, if my aunt promises you, she will definitely do it." Can you keep good grandpa? ”

"Yes!" She replied loudly. "I told my grandfather the story of the pony crossing the river, and it sounded good."

After sitting in a circle, they couldn't help but laugh. Li Shan originally wanted to work with Chen Mo, but it was better to pretend than to sit here now. But seeing Chen Kangmei and Chen Mo passing over, knowing that they must have something to say, they sat there and didn't move.

Rong Jing said with a smile: "Da Mo has a good relationship with his aunt, you are together every day, so don't go to join in the fun." ”

"I know, Aunt Luo told me a few times, and she was jealous to death."

"Sister Kangmei has this charm, regardless of gender, young or old, they are willing to get close to her." Although she is Chen Kangmei's sister-in-law, the age difference is more than ten years, and she is still commensurate with Sister Kangmei. Although Chen Jianguo felt that something was wrong, he was unwilling to get involved in their women's affairs, so he let them go.

Chen Mo rolled the tabletop that he usually didn't use out of the room from the second inverted room, and then leaned against the outer wall. Chen Kangmei brought a basin, took the water, put in dish soap, found two more rags, and scrubbed them with Chen Mo.

"You don't have anything to ask me?"

"I know Auntie, you're going to tell me."

Chen Kangmei glanced at him dissatisfied, "You, everything is good, it's old-fashioned." In this regard, you have to learn from Weiwei, your age is the time of youth and publicity, like a little old man every day, are you tired? ! ”

"Isn't that the case at home?! When I entered CNPC, I wanted to enter the officialdom, where is there room for me to be public. ”

"You should listen to me when you go to college, go to university abroad, your personality is not suitable for working in CNPC."

"This is grandpa's will, besides, he can't do without people by his side. If I go to study abroad, how can I accompany him like I am now?! ”

Chen Kangmei couldn't help laughing, "Look at what you said, it seems that I am very unfilial." But ah, my daughter really isn't doing well enough. At this point, my aunt still has to say thank you to you, if you weren't by the old man's side, he wouldn't be able to raise him so well. ”

The two chatted for a while, and the topic came to an end, Chen Kangmei said: "I really didn't plan to come back this time, but the old man called me and asked me to come back." It just so happened that there was a delegation in China that was in Mexico for business negotiations, and I came back with them. ”

Chen Mo paused for a moment, glanced into the courtyard, and asked, "Is it for the distribution of the inheritance?" ”

"You won't pretend to be stupid, guess a few more times, and get bored." Chen Kangmei glared at him with disgust, and couldn't help laughing again. Soon, however, her smile disappeared and her expression became heavy.

The old man sitting in the yard was, after all, his father, the tree he relied on for the first half of his life. Although it is said that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural cycles, if her father really goes, she will become a child without a father.

"The old man doesn't have much property now, although there are still some manuscript fees over the years, but he has also donated these money. At present, the largest property is the courtyard handed down by the ancestors, followed by some souvenirs, which have some famous calligraphy and paintings, which are now worth a lot of money. ”

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I don't have much opinion on how to distribute it, anyway, it's all the Chen family, and I can't write two Chens in one stroke." ”

"You don't fight, but what about your second aunt?! Her eyelids were shallow, and her eyes were staring at everything in this room, and she was afraid that she would have already calculated it clearly. The old man didn't expect that you would really reconcile with your father this time, and specially called me back to do an arbitration! ”

"Auntie, I know you don't like the second aunt, and I don't like her either, but she really didn't say anything to the second uncle and Xiaozheng. Although it's said that she is fighting, isn't it still for Xiao Zheng? ! The Xiaozheng brothers and I don't have anything to worry about. ”

Chen Kangmei nodded and said: "I just like your mentality, money is a thing, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, as long as it is enough, no matter how much money you have, what's the point?!" Your mother is also a rich person now, but she and Cao Zhongmou are fighting with people and flies every day in the mall, and they are definitely not as happy as I am. As for the sense of achievement, we have to do more things for the country than them. Don't you say?! ”

Chen Mo nodded. "We have a house, a car, a job, a few living funds on hand, and we can be able to respond to emergencies, I think it is enough. The key is to see if you are happy in your life, and if you are unhappy in life, you live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, get drunk with money, and feel empty. ”

"Okay, I know what you mean, let's not talk about it today, and celebrate the old man's birthday happily tomorrow. After dinner, we all sat down and arranged this matter. ”

Chen Mo really didn't pay attention to the distribution of family property, but his psychology is also very heavy now. I can't even wait for the New Year, and now I call my aunt back, which also shows that the old man has no confidence in his body.

Although the doctor said that his body could last for another two or three years, he also said that he could leave at any time. He had suffered too much in that particular era, and it was a miracle that he was able to survive until now. Like his grandmother, the injury was not as serious as his grandfather's, but she didn't survive and left them early.

The aunt and nephew set the table on the stone table under the vines, and the others rushed into the kitchen, and with a concerted effort, they quickly put the food, dishes and chopsticks in place. Aunt Hu cooked the meal and insisted on refusing to stay here to eat. Today is a special day, and everyone did not stay, sat around the big table for a while, and soon started moving.

Their family did not have a family motto of food and silence, several women chatted about their parents, and the two brothers Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianjun talked about the company's affairs. Chen Mo and his aunt took care of Chen Yizhou, and by the way, they teased the cute little Mo'er, and the family seemed extremely relaxed.

Li Shan has always wanted to get close to this "aunt", and this time she finally found an opportunity. She drank a good amount of wine, and Chen Kangmei was also good, so she also specially toasted Chen Kangmei with a glass of wine.

Chen Kangmei was originally quite satisfied with this "nephew and daughter-in-law", although she had Roujia's preconceived impression, but Li Shan had a good personality and was beautiful, and she gradually recognized this "nephew and daughter-in-law". However, a few months ago, I learned that she insisted on studying in France, which made Chen Kangmei very unhappy. The pace of society is changing too fast, and she has to be separated for at least two years at this time, so she has to worry about their relationship.
