346 Family Gatherings
Chu Yuanzhi is currently a department-level cadre, and it is said that he once helped the provincial leaders to break the siege at an important meeting, and made great contributions, and he was very appreciated by the above, and he was expected to be promoted to a department official a year ago. And his son Chu Mingyuan is currently successful in his studies, studying for a doctorate at Jinlin University, and I heard that he has followed a very powerful mentor who is a well-known star in the academic world.
Chu Xiaozhi was originally an idle person, and he didn't want to make progress when he was studying, and he was almost no different from a gangster. At that time, Chu Maoxue often used Chu Muzhi as an example to inspire him, but Chu Xiaozhi still went his own way, and gradually became more and more alienated from his third brother. Later, I didn't know which tendon was wrong, and I wanted to do business. At first, the Chu family was not optimistic, but they didn't expect it to really make him get up after a few years, and now relying on the contacts accumulated by the old man back then, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be said that it is booming.
Chu Yi looked at these relatives and sneered in his heart.
In the previous life, except for grandfather Chu Maoxue, who was good to his own family, even grandma Sun Meiling didn't like to see them.
Especially for his mother Xiao Yueming, he is even more cold, and he has never had a good face. And Chu Yi naturally didn't get any care and care.
At this time, Chu Yuanzhi and Chu Xiaozhi also saw Chu Yi.
Chu Yuan's city was very deep, no matter how shocked he was in his heart, he didn't show a smile on his face, but said indifferently:
"It's been three years, and you're finally back."
Chu Yi looked over expressionlessly when he heard this, and looked at the eyes that were as clear as water, but Chu Yuanzhi was shocked, and the coolness behind him rose sharply, as if he was being targeted by a wild beast.
"How could I feel this way, that kid's eyes were so sharp just now?"
Just when Chu Yuanzhi was puzzled, Chu Xiaozhi exclaimed in surprise.
"I'll go, you're not dead, everyone thinks you're dead outside."
"Second brother, how do you speak. Xiaoyi has suffered a lot outside, and now that she is back, everyone should be happy. β
Xiao Yueming said dissatisfied.
"Of course I'm happy, Xiaoyi, in two days, the second uncle will take you to buy a small car."
"Xiaoyi is back."
At this time, Sun Meiling, who got the news, was late.
When he saw Chu Yi, he just nodded.
"It's good to be back."
Seeing this grandmother, Chu Yi was disapproving.
The Chu family has spread out and has many children, especially in the third and fourth generations, and it is even more prosperous, but Chu Yi, as a grandson, has not enjoyed the treatment he deserves. A large part of this is due to Sun Meiling's eccentricity.
She is still the old opinion, and the eldest grandson is the most important. Any benefit must be given to Chu Mingyuan first, and it is often his turn in the end.
"Heh, among these people, only grandpa is really worthy of my return."
For the sake of Chu Maoxue's face, he naturally wouldn't bother with these relatives, but if someone took the initiative to provoke him, then with his character as a reincarnation Immortal Venerable, he would never be soft.
"Okay, Xiaoyi is back, everyone should be happy, no matter what he has done outside and what he has experienced over the years, at least he is home now."
Chu Maoxue spoke, and everyone immediately shut up.
But the juniors are gloating, among all of them, Chu Yi is the worst, with him, everyone has the object of ridicule.
Soon, the relatives of the Chu family also came to the door, and the Chu family was very lively for a while.
Although Chu Maoxue was old and quiet, he had to get up to greet him at this time.
While greeting, their eyes swept over Chu Muzhi and the others, and suddenly stopped at Chu Yi's body.
"This isβ"
Someone hesitated.
"Oh, he's the third child, and he dropped out of school a few years ago."
The second aunt said casually.
As soon as these words came out, the juniors who followed behind immediately showed disdainful glances.
One of the little girls shook her head.
Her name is Han Xiaolei, she belongs to the line of Chu Maoxue's eldest brother, and now she also comes to congratulate Chu Maoxue on his birthday.
Han Xiaolei is a standard scholar, currently in her second year of high school, and she is in the top few in every exam, not surprisingly, there is no problem in admitting Jinlin University in the college entrance examination, and she may be escorted to Yenching University!
For Chu Yi, who didn't even finish high school, she despised it the most.
Soon, the hall was packed.
There are those that Chu Yi is familiar with, and there are those he doesn't know, but at this moment, everyone's attention is focused on Chu Yuanzhi, and from time to time they will echo Chu Xiaozhi's words, but for Chu Muzhi, they have never mentioned it. Even some people who came to the Chu family for the first time knew that Chu Muzhi's status in the family was not high.
After greetings, the adults formed a circle and chatted. Most of the topics are who is about to be promoted, who and who is about to be promoted, who and who has made money this year, what is the country's next policy, and so on.
As for the juniors, a small circle was formed, and most of them quickly became acquainted.
Unlike the elders, the young people talked about luxury cars, famous brands, travel and vacation, and what kind of work and position they held.
Chu Mingyuan has a very high degree of education, he is already a doctoral student, and he has already made some academic achievements. But according to him, the future is still to develop on the career path.
Many little girls gathered around him and asked this and that, all of them were about learning, and Chu Mingyuan smiled and answered them one by one.
Chu Feiran exudes a mature intellectual beauty, although she has just graduated from college, she is already very experienced in handling things in the company, and she looks like a professional woman. Her idea is to start her own business and build her own business empire in the future.
Chu Yi sat on the side and listened without saying a word.
These lofty ambitions or goals in the eyes of ordinary people seem to him to be child-like, childish and ridiculous, and not worth mentioning at all.
"Xiaoyi, I see you've been laughing, what about you, what are your ideals?"
A young man asked with a smile.
His name is Chu Penghui, and he is the son of the second uncle Chu Xiaozhi. Inherited his father's character, since he was a child, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and his grades that year were at the bottom of the class, and now he has entered a company by relying on Chu Xiaozhi's relationship.
Originally, everyone looked down on him a little, thinking that he was a loser and a gentleman, but now that Chu is back, everyone has shifted their target all of a sudden.
"Me? I don't want to talk about my ideals. β
Chu Yi shook his head indifferently.
Ascend to the universe, overlook the world, and become the first person in the ages.
Even if this kind of idea is spoken, the juniors of the Chu family will not understand it, but on the contrary, they will only think that he is crazy.
"It's okay, we're all relatives, and we won't laugh at you if you say it."
"Yes, what are you embarrassed to say, although you are 108,000 miles worse than Brother Mingyuan and my sister, but there is a good saying, everyone has their own ambitions."
"Okay, if people don't want to say it, don't be embarrassed."
Chu Mingyuan waved his hand, but the contempt in the depths of his eyes was unobstructed.
In the evening, the kitchen was ready with food and drinks, and although it was not yet the day of the big birthday, it was quite hearty.
There are all kinds of Chinese and Western food, and there are many expensive dishes, the cost of each dish is hundreds of thousands, and the Buddha jumping over the wall is worth a lot of money, and the raw materials alone are tens of thousands.
"This banquet is filial piety's pocket."
Before dinner began, Chu Maoxue said.
The eyes of dozens of people immediately fell on Chu Xiaozhi on the main table.
"It's rare, there is this filial piety."
"Xiaozhi's business is really getting bigger and bigger, and I'm going to enter real estate next year, tsk, it's amazing."
"Second uncle, you are in this vein, the career of the Yuan is rising steadily, and the wealth and fortune of filial piety in the business sea are prosperous, and you have earned a lot of money, which is really enviable."
The old man of the other branch stroked his beard and smiled.
The crowd echoed in unison.
Although Chu Yuanzhi's face did not change, he was quite happy in his heart.
As for Chu Yuanzhi, he was happy to bloom early, and his pride was all written on his face.
Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, Chu Yi was tasteless.
Chu Muzhi and Xiao Yueming have suffered a lot over the years, and they have never seen many of them in the coarse tea and light rice on weekdays. But Chu Yuanzhi, Chu Xiaozhi and others are big fish and meat, and they are not moisturized.
The feast begins.
Chu Xiaozhi just drank red wine.
"Xiaozhi, why don't you eat?"
Someone with a sharp eye asked.
"I usually eat too much, and I'm a little tired, but I still think it's better to have coarse tea and light rice."
He waved his hand, and then said to Chu Yi:
"Xiaoyi, you eat more, I guess you can't eat it usually."
Chu Yi was noncommittal, ate a few pieces of beef, and put down his chopsticks.
Instead, Chu Maoxue looked at him thoughtfully.
"By the way, Xiaoyi, you haven't told us yet, where have you been for more than three years? We've been worried for so long. β
A junior spoke.
He laughed maliciously, just to make Chu Yi unable to raise his head in front of everyone.
In his opinion, in the past three years, Chu Yi has either committed a crime or been trafficked, and either is not a good thing.
At this time, everyone looked over, including Chu Maoxue, who also looked at him inquiringly.
As for Chu Yuanzhi and Chu Xiaozhi, they look like they are watching a good show.
"Me?"
Chu Yi smiled indifferently, and then repeated the original statement.
When he finished speaking, the audience fell silent.
After a while, I don't know who laughed first, and as a result, everyone in the huge hall laughed.
Including Chu Yuan, who has always been very deep in the city, he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing this, Chu Maoxue frowned slightly, and his heart was complicated.
"Haha, Xiaoyi, you are really funny, what kind of master in the world, take you to learn martial arts, laugh to death."
"Just skip school and say it directly, there's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a big deal to be a rich second generation like me."
Chu Penghui said, and suddenly patted his head again:
"Oh yes, I forgot you didn't have a rich father."
"If you're embarrassed, don't say it, there's no need to make such jokes."
The eldest aunt snorted coldly.
"Okay, let's not say a word, it's a great joy for Xiaoyi to come back, no less than my eighty birthday, if he doesn't want to say it, forget it, don't force him."
Chu Maoxue spoke.
"Who said I was joking?"
At this time, Chu Yi spoke indifferently.
