Chapter 4: Gluttony
The morning light sprinkled the earth, and the entire Xinling Town was shrouded in mist, and it seemed that it was still a good weather, but when the family of three sat at the dining table for breakfast, Long Chen easily noticed that the atmosphere at home was a little strange.
Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun's eyes were filled with a sense of melancholy.
Sure enough, after breakfast, Xiao Yun touched Long Chen's head and reminded him before he was about to put the dishes on the table into the kitchen: "Baby, there will be guests coming to our house, you remember to call uncle." β
Long Chen nodded, and didn't ask much, in fact, in the past two years, except for the occasional townspeople from Xinling Town who came to visit the door after the Chinese New Year, he had never seen Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun's relatives come here, who his grandparents and grandparents were, he didn't know at all, Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun had never been with him.
For these relatives, Long Chen doesn't have too much curiosity, in this world, he only thinks that Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun are his relatives, as for those who are related to their parents, from the observation of the past two years, Long Chen can probably guess that those people don't seem to have a good relationship with their parents, maybe they are not in this world at all, and they can regain their lives and have a pair of parents who care about themselves, Long Chen already feels satisfied, he doesn't ask for too many relatives.
After a while, Long Chen, who was standing on the second floor, saw a horse-drawn carriage that looked very spacious coming quickly at the far end of the wide road leading to Xinling Town on the east side of the fence under the hillside, and the black carriage stopped moving outside the fence, leaning on the side of the road, the groom jumped out of the car and opened the black curtain, and then a middle-aged fat man with a big belly came out of the carriage.
At this time, Long Chen suddenly heard Xiao Yun's call, so he had to run back to the house, thinking in his heart that the middle-aged fat man should be the so-called uncle, Long Chen didn't think that there was anything good about this uncle coming to the house, on the contrary, he faintly felt that the family's major economic problems seemed to have a lot to do with this fat man.
Long Chen, who had been tossed by Xiao Yun and changed into a set of clean clothes, had just walked out of the room when he heard a sharp and thin woman-like man's voice coming from downstairs.
"The weather in this hellish place is really hot, and I have been looking for a long time to find it, it's really unlucky, Lin Yuan, what's the point of you saying you stay in this place where birds don't?
Long Furen vigorously fanned the paper fan in one hand, and carried the dark green robe in the other, as if he was afraid of being soiled by the mud and dust on the ground, and walked cautiously, and his upright stomach seemed to make it a little difficult for him to walk like this.
"I think it's quite quiet here, and Qingtian City is not very suitable for me. β
Long Linyuan replied lightly, with a hint of a smile on his face, but this smile hid a faint far-fetchedness.
After entering the hall, Long Furen walked directly to the largest wooden chair and sat down, fortunately, the load-bearing capacity of the wooden chair was not bad, it only made a slight creaking sound, if it was replaced by other chairs, I am afraid it would have fallen apart directly.
Long Furen, who had a fat head and big ears, shook his fan while looking at the furnishings in the living room, and after looking at it for a long time and found that there was nothing that attracted him, he shook his head and said: "Look at it, what kind of tattered things are in your house, these things have long been lost in my house, and even the servants can't look down on them." Lin Yuan, you are also a descendant of our Qingtianlong family, no matter how down, this faΓ§ade still has to be propped up? If you are seen by others, you still think that our Qingtianlong family favors one over the other, I really don't know what you think. β
Regarding Long Furen's deliberately sarcastic words, Long Linyuan still smiled faintly, and replied: "It's okay to live comfortably, not to mention that no one is expected to be interested in coming here to visit my humble house, this time it's hard Brother Furen to go on a trip in person." β
Long Furen scolded directly: "I knew that I wouldn't come so far and so poor, and it would delay me for four days to go back and forth, and this time the loss is huge, it's really unlucky!"
Long Linyuan frowned slightly, and when he saw Xiao Yun walking down from the second floor with Long Chen, he suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up with a smile and called, "Chen'er, come here, this is your Uncle Furen." β
Long Furen's previous words, Long Chen naturally listened to his ears, he naturally didn't have a good impression of this fat man, but he had to take care of his parents' face, so he always had to do what a child should do.
Following Xiao Yun to the front and back of Long Furen, Long Chen suppressed the disgust in his heart, and saluted Long Furen like a good child, and said respectfully: "Nephew Long Chen has seen uncle." β
"Yo, they've grown so big. β
Long Furen leaned back on the chair, his feet were wide open, and he shook his cheeks without moving and smiled: "The little guy's life is quite big, I thought you would definitely die, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that even the venerable Xuan couldn't save himself from life, but I see that your physique doesn't seem to be very good? Why are you so thin? Strange and pitiful, by the way, they all say that if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, the little guy You should be able to inherit your father's ability to make money, and there should be no problem in being a big family in this poor place." β
Are these words complimentary? Long Chen couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said in his heart, why are the words that come out of the mouth of this dead fat man so bitter and harsh, could it be that this guy thinks that sarcastically ridiculing a child who is only more than three years old, as well as the child's father, is very accomplished and happy?
Long Chen can't say anything in his mouth, but it's okay to slander in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that Long Furen's ancestor is Long Linyuan's ancestor, he would definitely scold Long Furen's ancestor for seventy-two generations.
Long Furen naturally didn't pay attention to Long Chen, in his eyes, such an ignorant little kid may not understand the meaning of what he said just now, and his words were actually deliberately said to Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun.
Long Furen extremely likes to admire Long Linyuan's expression that is full of anger but has to endure it, especially in front of Xiao Yun, which is also a big reason why he ran thousands of miles from Qingtian City to this poor and sour place this time.
Long Linyuan was indeed angry in his heart, and he had to endure it as Long Furen thought, forced a smile, and commanded Xiao Yun: "Yunyun, take Chen'er up, I'll talk to Brother Furen about some serious things." β
"No hurry, no hurry. β
Long Furen, who was paralyzed on the wooden chair, stood up suddenly, because he was too hurried, the fat all over his body shook with the waves, he squinted a pair of eyes and stared at Xiao Yun who was about to lead Long Chen back to the second floor, and looked at Xiao Yun's well-maintained graceful figure from top to bottom, that kind of look was like a wolf who was about to move on the lamb, full of naked salivation.
