Cui Can didn't know what Chen Jiu was waiting for, she quietly accompanied Chen Jiu. Just when she thought she would have to wait like this all night, the old man's door opened again, and it was already half past ten in the evening. So the old man's face was a little pale, which was completely different from what Cui Can saw a few days ago.

The old man's gaze swept over everyone standing in the living room, and naturally he also saw the surprise and distress in Cui Can's eyes. I felt that my heart, which had been pierced by anger, seemed to be repaired a lot by such a look. sighed, "I'm fine, you should go back to rest, you still have work tomorrow, so you don't have to stay here with me as an old man." My body is fine, and it will be fine for a while. ”

Uncle Chen was behind the old man, carefully paying attention to the old man's body.

Seeing that the grandchildren did not move, the old man sighed again while feeling relieved. "You know why I'm angry today. As long as you pay more attention to yourself in the future. Who hasn't made mistakes? Just remember this lesson. ”

Chen Ba glanced at Cui Can again, and this glance did not have any kindness at all. Chen Jiu saw it, Old Man Chen also saw it, and even Uncle Chen also saw it. He glanced at his father more worriedly, and was very disappointed in the unsightly son.

Cui Can grabbed Chen Jiu, who was about to stand up and reason with Chen Ba, and glanced at the old man who had changed color, and the meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious. At this time, the old man's anger had just calmed down, and they couldn't add to the old man's blockage.

"Grandpa, can we stay here for another night tonight? It's so late. It's too late to rush home, and it's close to Yuxuan's unit, so you can take us in for one night tonight. "Cui Can is rare to be coquettish with the old man. It made the old man's depressed mood better.

"Say what? This is not your home? There was already Jiu'er's room, so you should stay in that room tonight. Wait until Jiu'er goes to work tomorrow, and you will play chess with me. ”

Seeing that the old man's face was better, Cui Can smiled and shook his head. "You can leave me alone, where can I play chess? Besides, if you want to play chess, isn't your opponent still a big handful? ”

"I'm optimistic about you. It doesn't matter, I'll teach you. "The old man won't allow her to refuse at all, speaking of which. Looking at Cui Can's bitter face, he nodded with satisfaction. "Don't leave tonight, go back to your rooms. I'll leave here early tomorrow morning for work, and I'll think about what I'm saying tonight, so don't let me down again. ”

After speaking. The old man pushed away his eldest son's hand. He turned around and went back to his room. After the old man left, everyone in the living room looked at each other, and none of them were interested in talking, or they took into account that not all the people in the room supported him. Cui Can and Chen Jiu consciously stood up, "Uncle and aunt, brothers, let's go back to the room first, good night." ”

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen nodded. Everyone watched as Chen Jiu pulled Cui Can back to their room on the second floor.

"I really don't know what to say." When the figures of Chen Jiu and the others disappeared into the eyes of everyone in the hall, Chen Ba finally said the sentence he had been holding in his heart.

He's relieved. But Uncle Chen and Brother Chen glared at him dissatisfied. Uncle Chen was even more angry and said, "What did you say? ”

Aunt Chen didn't know what was going on, but she knew that this was not the place to talk about things. He pulled his youngest son and said, "If you have something to say, will you go back to the room to say?" Where is this? Where do you lose your temper? ”

Chen Ba was awkwardly dragged by his mother to their room on the second floor, and several other people followed him to the room in the corner of the second floor. This room is separated from Chen Jiu's room by a few rooms, so he is not worried about sound insulation. Uncle Chen's brothers followed their parents back to the room one after another.

It was a very well-lit room, and even though it was night, you could see the stars all over the sky. Chen Jiu's room was in another room with better lighting, and in such a comparison, Chen Ba was full of jealousy. Because his room is incomparable to Chen Jiu's, his status in his grandfather's heart is also incomparable to Chen Jiu's. Now there's one more item, wife. His wife is not as good as Chen Jiu's wife's status in front of his grandfather.

He didn't understand why he was destined to be inferior to Chen Jiu everywhere? His own parents are not as knowledgeable and intelligent as Chen Jiu's parents. He is not as good as Chen Jiu, not as smart as Chen Jiu, and not as popular as Chen Jiu. Later, when he entered the unit, Chen Jiu went to do business. He thought that he had finally surpassed Chen Jiu, but Chen Jiu had made so much money, and he was still not as rich as him. Later, he got married. My wife's family is rich and powerful, and I finally have a helping hand, and I can compete with Chen Jiuyi. But Chen Jiu found a woman that his grandfather liked, and this woman was recognized by everyone. You know, which one of the people who can associate with the old man is an ordinary person? To be recognized by them is to be recognized by the entire circle, and even to be a person with status in this circle. With her like this, how can her wife compare with her?

So he was jealous of Chen Jiu, and it seemed that he was destined to be inferior to him from birth. Obviously he was born half a year earlier than him, obviously he is an older brother, he should get more attention, and he has taken the lead in many things, but in the end, he ...... It's the same this time, obviously at the beginning, the old man was very happy that everyone asked Cui Can for words. But he only asked for a few words, why was he so unhappy? How many rats did they scold their brother?

Yes, the children of several uncles are all working in other places, and only their brothers are in the capital, so only they have a part in this matter. But they are also because Cui Can is their own person, they help her promote her reputation, and at the same time, let those leaders who like her words more get her Mobao, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone? How did it become a rat in Grandpa's mouth? In the end, he even talked about their future, saying that they would not have a great future in this life.

Of course, there will be no big prospects, grandpa's connections have been given to Chen Jiu, what can they do? It wasn't enough to give Chen Jiu, but also helped Cui Can gain a foothold in the circle, what kind of eccentricity is this? Don't allow their brothers to plan for the future? So. He couldn't help it today, and choked a few words with his grandfather, giving Cui Can a face. He didn't want to be so stingy either. But what can he do? He is a grandson, and he is not as good as a woman who has not entered the door. Will he be convinced?

When the old man is alive, others will take care of themselves for the sake of being his grandson. But the old man is over 90, how many years can he live? And take care of them for a few more years. If they don't plan ahead, what will they do in the future? He is in his thirties, and he has children. If you don't have your own business, what will you do in the future? Now, he is not as valued in the Yue family as before. How could he sit still?

Uncle Chen looked at his little son with an ugly face and sighed helplessly. "I know you still haven't turned a corner in your heart, and you're still not convinced. But this time you've gone too far. By doing so, you not only made yourself lose your status, but also made others look down on the Chen family. It also made Cui Can's original high position. Hence the fall to the ground. Do you think your grandfather can not be angry? ”

Chen Ba snorted unconvinced, but Chen Da, Chen Er, Chen Si, and Chen Qi thought about it.

Uncle Chen glared angrily, "You know jealousy, you know comparison, why don't you talk about the convenience that Cui Can brings us?" As long as Cui Can's fame grows, we will become more and more powerful. Cui Can's words are becoming more and more difficult to find, so that her status is getting higher and higher. As her eldest uncle, you will also be more and more valued by people who want to ask for words. But what did you do? Kill the golden goose. Now it's being begged. But what about later? Cui Can's status has been lowered by your behavior, and the people who get her words will not feel very proud, and some people will even think that the people who gave them these words are trying to lower their cultural cultivation. At that time, what will they do to you? ”

When Uncle Chen said this, he looked at his sons one by one. They are all his pride, since childhood, he has attached great importance to the education of children, but ...... glanced at his wife, and these children were spoiled by her. He is uneducated, so he is already very satisfied with retiring from the position of section chief. So he hopes that his children can earn this breath for themselves, so that when he is old, he will be valued because of such a son. Just as when he was young, he was valued because of his father's position. But these children were educated by their wives, although there was no major problem, but they were short-sighted. His father's criticism was so bloody that he couldn't deny it. At this time, seeing that the big ones seemed to have understood the interests involved, he was still a little relieved. But the youngest son still looked so unconvinced, he really felt helpless.

"We go out as a family at all times, and when we come, we are all a family. So you have to remember that you can not be convinced at home, but when you go out and face people outside, you must protect the face and interests of the family. Because whoever is in this family is prosperous, you can do it. How can you say that it is also the grandson of a grandfather, will he be happy to watch you fall? If you are capable, he will look at it and be happy. This is the reason why Chen Jiu has a face in front of your grandfather. Because he always knows his surname Chen, and he knows how to protect the interests of this Chen family. And you guys? Think about your stupidity, how dare you not be convinced? ”

I thought I had said so, and my sons should understand why the old man was so angry, right? But Chen Ba didn't let him breathe a sigh of relief. "Therefore, you also attach importance to Chen Jiu as much as your grandfather and help Chen Jiu. Complimenting him in front of his grandfather while he was away makes him more proud? Are you my own father? ”

"What did the eighth say?" Chen Da still has the majesty of being an eldest brother, seeing that Lao Ba said too much, he scolded him, and Chen Ba did close his mouth under his gaze. Seeing that the eighth child stopped talking, Chen Da also wanted to talk about his thoughts. "I used to be jealous of Lao Jiu, we have so many brothers, but my grandfather likes him the most. My eldest son and grandson are not as good as him, how can you make me willing? But what my dad said today made me realize. Actually, I used to feel this way, this kind of thought. It's just that there has never been such a person who has sounded the alarm for me, and today's words from my father made me understand. We are one family and our interests are shared. Although Chen Jiu has money, he is not short of us, and the red envelopes he gives every year are checks. It's just that we're afraid that we don't have money for socializing, or that we're afraid that we'll accept bribes at work. So we really complement each other, and that's what brothers are. ”

The boss's speech was very sincere, but the eighth still pouted. "I said big brother, since you all understand, why are you still chasing Cui Can for her words like us this time? Aren't you afraid that you'll lose? Aren't you afraid that your interests will be threatened? Don't say it so sincerely, in fact, you are also jealous of Chen Jiu, and even worried that Chen Jiu will take your place. ”

Chen Da's face changed a few times at Chen Ba's words, and finally he stopped doing any ideological work, and sat there with his shoulders crossed without saying a word. He doesn't even look at anyone.

Chen Er looked at the eldest brother who was robbed by his younger brother, and then looked at his father who was glaring at his younger brother on the side, his lips were angry, and he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Chen Si also looked at a few people in the room, but finally did not speak. He is neither the eldest brother nor the younger brother in this family, and he has no special status in his parents, let alone in front of his grandfather. That's why he doesn't want to come out like this, as long as he looks at his own interests, he doesn't care about anything. Therefore, let's follow in everyone's footsteps, anyway, the law does not hold the public accountable.

Chen Qi was originally stuffy, he didn't like to talk, and he could talk, so at this time, he couldn't speak.

Aunt Chen looked at this, then at that, and finally set her eyes on her husband. "Dad, why is the old man's temperament so big this time? Isn't there something else going on? ”

I have to say that Aunt Chen still knows the old man well, don't look at her usually not very involved in men's affairs, but under the influence of such an environment, she also has her own keenness, so there must be other reasons why the old man has such a big temper.

Sure enough, Uncle Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Jiu's marriage is about to be held, so the old man wants to build momentum for Cui Can." After all, she has no background, and marrying into our Chen family makes her status worse. Again, the greater Cui Can's reputation in the cultural world, the better it will be for our Chen family. And the reason why the old man promoted Cui Can so much was because of Chen Jiu. Although Chen Jiu had just entered the unit, the old man wanted him to go up. After all, the old man's time is running out, and the time to help him is running out. r (To be continued.) )
