156 Relatives gathered

February 19, Spring Festival.

There was a light snow in Linjiang, and for a while, the whiter and the redder, the redder and redder, and the New Year's flavor was full.

Linjiang is a small city, can't help firecrackers, from the morning, all kinds of firecrackers crackle non-stop, which made Chang Dong wonder for a while, could it be that there is a problem with his own clock?

From nine o'clock in the morning, Changdong's mobile phone was busy again.

Busy replying to text messages, also busy greeting the New Year.

The second day of the first month.

Chang Dong accompanied his father to visit his father's only direct blood relative, the uncle, that is, Chang's father's eldest brother.

The uncle's family lives in Changjiazhuang, Dahua Town, Linjiang City, and the family conditions are very poor, with three halls and three front houses, and the house is still red tiles and red bricks ten years ago.

Compared with most of the small two-story houses in the village, this is not half a bit.

The house is poor, and the inside of the house can be called a home.

A sofa that no one else wants, it's very dirty.

There are two people in the uncle's family, the uncle and his thirteen-year-old daughter, Chang Yuanyuan.

Chang Yuanyuan looks ...... It's ugly.

Chang Dong has to comment like this, there is a reason why he is ugly.

The family is poor, the clothes are very poor and dirty, and the nutrition can't keep up, it doesn't look like a thirteen-year-old girl at all, but more like an eight- or nine-year-old child, giving people a feeling of sharp-beaked monkey gills.

Chang Dong has always had a bad impression of his uncle.

In the early years, Chang's father and uncle and brothers went out to work together, and the conditions were similar.

Later, the uncle fell in love with the business of installing air conditioners and changed his career.

Don't say it, installing air conditioning is a technical job, or a hard job, and the salary is really good.

At that time, when Chang's father was still renting a house in Linjiang, he had already made a down payment for a large house of 150 square meters.

As soon as this man has money, he is easy to float.

After the uncle became rich, he didn't even go to the hospital under the pretext that his wife couldn't give birth, so he divorced directly and married a city girl, that is, Chang Yuanyuan's mother.

The following year, she gave birth to Chang Yuanyuan.

What do you think, the good days have not passed for a few years, when the air conditioner was installed, the employer's ladder was used, the ladder was rotten and rusty, and he stepped on it alone to climb up and punch holes to install the bracket, but when he turned his head and climbed up with the air conditioner, something happened.

The ladder broke, and he fell from it, not very high, but the air conditioner hit his waist just right.

The uncle scattered all his family wealth, but he still fell into a half-paralysis, completely lost sensation in his left thigh, and was almost unable to take care of himself.

After this incident, his wife immediately left his father and daughter and flew away.

Chang Yuanyuan was only ten years old at the time, and Chang Dong remembered it very clearly, because he was facing the college entrance examination at that time.

In the past few years, Chang's father has come over every Chinese New Year and handed over thousands of yuan.

These thousands of yuan, plus the subsistence allowance, are almost the main source of income for the uncle's family.

Chang Dong entered the house, and after seeing the uncle, he said a few kind words and left the house.

In the courtyard, Chang Yuanyuan was wearing the down jacket that Chang's father bought a year ago, and looked at Chang Dong timidly.

Ten years ago, Chang Dong, who was the same age as Chang Yuanyuan now, actually hated her very much.

Because of her current appearance, the eldest aunt who was very good to him left.

Now, of course, he doesn't have such emotions.

The grievances of adults cannot be angered on children.

Chang Dong lit a cigarette and asked a few words, how old is it? What grade are you in? When is the winter break? and so on, and there are no lines.

He really didn't know how to talk to a kid his age.

Not long after, his father came out, and he whispered to Chang Dong: "Our family is not short of money now, I am thinking, after a while, take him to Yanjing Hospital, and then take a look, what do you think?" ”

Chang Dong nodded: "Cheng." ”

No matter how much he hates his uncle, he is his father's big brother after all, and he can't ignore it.

Father Chang smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Chang Dong's family was at the fisherman's hotel and hosted a banquet for Jiang Ruxue's relatives.

My aunt's family also came.

Originally, Chang Dong meant, don't invite if the relationship is so stiff, and his impression of his aunt's family is really bad, and inviting him over is an eyesore.

But his mother was so kind that she felt that other relatives had invited her, and it was really ugly not to invite her aunt's house, so she simply said hello.

What do you think, this greeting, the aunt's family is ...... No, counting the babies, all five of them were there.

I have to admit that people are really shameless and invincible.

Chang Dong didn't give his aunt's family any good looks, and even when he greeted him, he directly pretended not to see it.

To be honest, if you have a little backbone in this meeting, I'm afraid you can leave directly.

But the aunt's family was stunned and came in with a smile on their faces.

Jiang Ruxue's mother's family doesn't have many relatives, only two brothers and two sisters, but counting one vote of family members, the good guy sat at two big tables.

Fortunately, Chang Dong is not bad for money, and he estimated in advance that he might bring relatives, and when he booked a hotel, he kept an eye on it and asked for a two-seater private room, otherwise it would be difficult to find an empty seat for the New Year.

According to Jiang Ruxue's meaning, this table of banquets is relatives to contact and contact feelings, after all, parents leave early, brothers and sisters don't move around, and in the end, the taste of relatives is gone.

But looking at the situation at the scene, Jiang Ruxue's worries are obviously too much.

Two large tables, more than 20 people, all around the Chang family.

In the dark eyes of his mind, he still thinks that this is the Chang family's deliberate banquet for relatives to enjoy this scenery!

After thirty years of wine and food, Chang Dong, who had not spoken much, stood up with a wine glass.

As soon as he made this move, the banquet, which was originally very lively, quieted down.

The sensitive heart is staggering.

Chang Dong is really powerful now!

Chang Dong said with a smile: "Uncles and uncles, I say a word, it doesn't sound good, for the sake of me being a junior, forgive me." ”

"Forgive, forgive."

"Chang Dong, you, everything is good, but you are too modest."

"Yes, yes, yes."

During the banquet, everyone flattered, but it quickly fell, and no one dared to delay Chang Dong's speech.

"When everyone says that, I'm relieved." Chang Dong said with a smile: "Ancestors bless, let me make some money in the past few years, of course, when I talk about a little money, everyone will definitely say that I am modest, then I will not be modest." ”

"I'm very rich now, how can I have a rich law, I won't give a big example, just say that giving you a villa is a small matter, of course, it can only be Linjiang, not Yanjing."

Chang Dong's words made everyone's eyes widen and their hearts beat faster, Mo Shidong wants to give them a villa for one person? No, even a 100-square-meter house is exciting enough!

Just when everyone was full of expectations, Chang Dong changed his words and said: "But I have no money, I am actually quite poor, this is really not my joke, I can tell you that the investment of 10 billion in Handong and the 1.1 billion investment in Linjiang are basically bank money, and my debt is far higher than my net worth." ”

Chang Dong's words suddenly made everyone excited again, and they went out.

Many people looked at each other, Chang Dong didn't want to cry poor, right?

"I don't say this to cry poor, I just want to tell everyone how much pressure you have to bear if you want to make money! I am very beautiful in Changdong now, walking in Linjiang, I can see my photos everywhere, but no one knows how much pressure I have taken on. ”

"The money I owe to the bank is in hundreds of millions, and the interest is in the millions, and I am trembling, once the capital chain is broken, once the project I invest in cannot make money, the bank loan can crush me in an instant."

Chang Dong's words made the room quiet.

Everyone realized that Chang Dong, who was saying this, probably had something big to announce.
