The next day, the second day of the first lunar month, Chen Ran got up early and quietly found a quiet and secret place to concentrate on tempering.

By the time Chen Ran came back from outside, Su Xiaoqing and Chen Yuanting had already gotten up and were sitting at the dining table with Chen Changkong eating breakfast.

"Xiao Ran is back? Come and have breakfast. Grandpa Chen Changkong greeted Chen Ran.

"Good!" Chen Ran sat down and ate directly.

Chen Changkong looked at Chen Ran with a smile and said, "It's boring here alone, right?" ”

Chen Ran swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

"I guess your cousin and cousin will come over in a while, and let them take you to have a good walk in Moon City when the time comes!" Chen Changkong said.

Chen Ran smiled when he heard this, and said, "Okay!" ”

Sure enough, as Chen Changkong said, not long after Chen Ran and the others finished breakfast, Chen Ran's aunt Chen Huanting and uncle Chen Zhiyuan arrived.

Seeing Chen Changkong, everyone greeted the New Year one after another.

Chen Changkong looked at his eldest son and second daughter with a smile, pulled Chen Yuanting to his side and said, "Zhiyuan, Huanting, look at who this is!" ”

"What is this?" Chen Zhiyuan glared at him with a look of surprise, "Third brother? You are the third brother! ”

Chen Pingting was also shocked, and stepped forward to hold Chen Yuanting's hand: "It's really the third brother!" I remember! I remember! It looks exactly like when I was a child! ”

Chen Yuanting was also a little excited: "Big brother! Second sister! ”

Chen Changkong smiled: "Go in and say!" Go in and say! ”

Everyone sat down, and under Chen Changkong's introduction one by one, Chen Ran got to know his uncle and aunt Chen Zhiyuan and Li Xueping, aunt and uncle Chen Huanting and Wang Xiuzhe, as well as his uncle's eldest son Chen Wei, daughter Chen Xiaoxue, aunt's eldest daughter Wang Qiulu, and youngest son Wang Bowen.

Chen Ran nodded and greeted politely.

Chen Changkong spoke: "A few of you children go to play elsewhere, and let's chat." ”

Chen Ran's cousin Chen Xiaoxue muttered: "Mysterious, what can't be heard." ”

Chen Wei pulled Chen Xiaoxue and said to Chen Ran: "Xiaoran, let's go, go to the hall on the second floor and sit." ”

A few juniors came to the hall on the second floor to sit down, and Wang Qiulu said to Chen Wei: "Cousin, how is the company recently?" ”

"It's okay, why don't you forget about the company after the holiday?" Chen Wei smiled and replied.

The four of them were talking and laughing, and they looked like they were talking about topics, but Chen Ran could only sit quietly and listen to them laugh with each other.

From their words, Chen Ran learned some information about his cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins.

Chen Wei, 23 years old this year, currently holds the position of assistant general manager in his grandfather's company "Geocentric Group", and Chen Ran's uncle is the general manager.

Wang Qiulu, also 23 years old, only a few months younger than Chen Wei, is a practicing lawyer and is currently a member of the legal advisory group of the "Geocentric Group".

Chen Xiaoxue, the same age as Chen Ran, is a month younger than Chen Ran, and is a student at Yuecheng University.

Wang Bowen, who had just turned sixteen and was a high school student, seemed to be keen on martial arts when he heard what he said.

Just when they were chatting energetically, Bai Xiaoqi, who didn't know where to run, found Chen Ran and jumped on Chen Ran's shoulder with great familiarity.

Chen Xiaoxue waited and looked at Bai Xiaoqi and said, "What a cute kitten!" How can there be so many tails? ”

Wang Bowen said proudly: "Cousin, you don't know this!" There are many mutated varieties of animals now, and it is estimated that it is a cat that produces mutations, right? ”

Chen Xiaoxue ignored Wang Bowen, walked towards Chen Ran and asked, "Cousin, can I touch it?" ”

Chen Ran smiled, shook his head and said, "Its name is Bai Xiaoqi, and it likes to bite, I suggest you don't touch it." ”

"That's it!" Chen Xiaoxue shook her head with some regret and walked back into the small circle of four people.

Wang Qiulu sat on the sofa and looked at Bai Xiaoqi on Chen Ran's shoulder, frowned and said: "Xiaoxue, this cat doesn't know if it's dirty or not, what's there to touch, how disgusting it would be if there are parasites or something!" Chen Ran, you too, how can you let the cat lie on your shoulder? How dirty! ”

Chen Ran said with a smile: "Cousin, it's okay, Bai Xiaoqi is still very particular about hygiene." ”

"Don't listen to persuasion." Wang Qiulu frowned and muttered softly, then ignored Chen Ran.

Hearing Wang Qiulu's muttering, Chen Ran didn't care, and sat quietly listening to the four of them chatting.

After lunch, Chen Wei opened his mouth and said to his grandfather Chen Changkong: "Grandpa, there is a dinner party to attend in the evening, Xiaoxue and Xiaowen said that they also want to have fun, okay?" ”

Chen Changkong opened his mouth and said, "It's the birthday banquet of the little princess Yue Wushuang of the Shenyue Group, right?" ”

"That's right! The invitation was sent to us too! Chen Wei said with a smile.

Chen Changkong smiled and waved his hand, "Okay!" Let's go, bring Xiao Ran with you. ”

Wang Qiulu said: "I just asked Chen Ran, he doesn't have evening dresses, it's not good to go to the dinner party like he is now." ”

When Aunt Chen Huanting heard this, she was a little angry and said, "Can't you take Xiao Ran to buy it without a dress?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan also spoke: "Xiao Wei, you will take Xiao Ran to buy it in a while!" ”

"Big brother, second sister, if it's not in the way, I'll tell you to buy it yourself." Su Xiaoqing said with a smile.

"Poof! It's called stupid! Chen Xiaoxue couldn't help laughing.

Wang Bowen smiled and said to Chen Ran: "Dumb cousin, do you have the money to buy evening dresses?" ”

Wang Xiuzhe was a little annoyed and said, "Xiaowen, how can you talk to your cousin?" There is no politeness at all! Is that what you call stupid? ”

Su Xiaoqing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, blame me, it's used to calling our family Chen Ran stupid." ”

Chen Yuanting said with a smile: "Chen Ran, I will ask my mother to transfer 10,000 yuan to you in a while, buy a set of evening dresses by yourself, and go to the dinner with my cousin." ”

"How do you wear a 10,000-dollar dress to go out?" Wang Bowen complained in a low voice.

But she didn't want to be heard by Chen Huanting, and said angrily: "Wang Bowen! You're amazing, aren't you? Xiao Ran is your cousin, do you have any rules? What happened to the 10,000 dollar dress? When your mother was a child, she wore clothes that cost dozens of dollars! ”

Chen Yuanting hurriedly said: "Child! Don't care! ”

"Originally, who would wear a torn dress of 10,000 yuan to attend the Shenyue Group dinner, it's really a hillbilly." Wang Bowen muttered and walked out.

"This!" Wang Xiuzhe looked at Chen Yuanting with some embarrassment, "Yuanting, don't be angry, this stinky boy has been spoiled by us, I will definitely clean him up when I go back!" ”

Chen Yuanting waved his hand, and just wanted to speak, but Chen Changkong, who had never said a word, said first: "Xiao Wei, Qiu Lu, Xiao Xue, are you the same as Xiao Wen, do you also think that Xiao Ran's family is a hillbilly from the earth?" ”

"You said it yourself." Chen Xiaoxue lowered her head and whispered.

"Then you are the descendants of the hillbillies! I, Chen Changkong, are from the earth! Your dad and mom too! Chen Changkong got up and said angrily.

Chen Yuanting hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Dad, don't be angry! It's all kids, we won't take it to heart! ”

"It's just that they are usually spoiled by their parents! I forgot where my roots were! Chen Changkong was extremely annoyed, and even scolded Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Pingting.

"Yes, yes, yes! Dad, don't be angry, we didn't teach them well, and we must teach them a good lesson when we go back! Chen Huanting and Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly admitted their mistakes.

Li Xueping also opened her mouth and said to Chen Wei: "What are you still standing for!" Are you really waiting for Xiao Ran to buy a dress by herself? You go and prepare! ”

"Oh! Good. Chen Wei, who was a little stunned by his grandfather's scolding, nodded hurriedly and left with Wang Qiulu and Chen Xiaoxue.
