Chapter 152: A Family
When I returned to Tongzhou Club, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and when I left, only Hu Jie came back with her family, but now so many days have passed, Zeng Xiujie and they have also come back during this period, so when I came back this time, the club was a lot more lively.
"Brother Rui, you're finally back, we've been waiting for you for two days!"
As soon as I entered, the two goods Geng Xi laughed on the side, in the courtyard, Zeng Xiujie, Gao Yan, and many people I don't know, judging by their age, they should be their parents and relatives.
"Hey, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Third Aunt...... Let's take a look, this is our brother Rui, the president of the Tongzhou Society, he is an archmage, much more powerful than me!"
A few people coaxed together, and all the parents came over, surrounded me, followed the zoo to see the monkeys, pointed and pointed at each other, and exchanged heads and ears.
"It's not very old. β
"yes, do you think you have that ability?"
"I don't know. β
"Look at how much he has to eat. β
"If he is so fat, his health must not be good, he is fat and sick, I don't think he has much ability. β
"Not necessarily, you look at this meat, you can see it down-to-earth, after tossing!"
......
I listened to my heart and said that this is all nonsense, is this a comment on a genius mage? But they are all elders, and it is not easy to pull them apart directly, so they can only squeeze out while smiling faces, and finally rush out of them.
But at this time, suddenly a person grabbed my arm, I looked, I don't know, a middle-aged man, should also be whose parents, I don't know if it's my father or uncle, I'm blind, I can't recognize anyone, sometimes it's a difficulty to go back to my hometown to recognize relatives!
"Come on, come to my house, I've got the food ready, let's have a good drink for a while. β
"I've eaten. β
"Hey, supper, supper, drink two cups without delay. As he spoke, he pulled me over without saying anything.
I saw that this was too enthusiastic, and when I looked at the back, those people didn't intend to let me go, it was addictive, otherwise they would have used this excuse to leave.
The man dragged me to his room, and at this time I knew who he was, he was Hu Jie's father, I should have met before leaving, but because I was really face blind, I didn't bother to remember their appearance, so I forgot about it for a while.
There was a double bed in the room, which was used for the couple to sleep, a large wardrobe, a small table, and two or three chairs. Now this small table is used as a dining table by him, with four side dishes on it, peanuts, pig's head meat, mixed pine eggs, and shredded potatoes. There is a pair of chopsticks, a small wine cup on each side, and a bottle of liquor on one side.
"Come on, sit down, let's have a drink, thank you...... Uh, protect our family Hu Jie, hahahaha. So saying, he sat down on the side, picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into the wine cups in front of both of us, and looked at me with a smile.
I thought to myself that if I had come, I would be at ease, so I sat down across from him, and looked left and right, and saw that the room was as it had been when it had been first made, and that after giving it to them, it had not changed at all except for two more people in the room. There may have been their belongings on the table before, but now they are put away, and now, Hu Jie's mother is not in the house, and she doesn't know where to go so late.
"It's nothing, I've known Hu Jie for so long, the world is in chaos, how can I not save her if I have the ability, this little thing is not enough to worry about, hey, it's so late, where did my aunt go." β
Father Hu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and the smile on his face froze, but then he recovered, waved his hand and said: "She, she must be going to find Xiaojie, she is alive to talk to which family is there, don't care, she will come back later." β
"Oh, that's right. I nodded, lowered my head and picked up the vegetables, thinking that this is normal, now that Zeng Xiujie and his family are also here, even my mother and aunt will bring my aunt, and the seven aunts and eight aunts will inevitably get together.
Hu Jie's father and I drank for nearly an hour, and we were both a little drunk, because I can use alcohol to enhance my cultivation, so in the eyes of outsiders, I can drink very well, and Hu Jie's father, it should be really drinkable.
"Xiao Rui, good! It's good! Drink well, wine is character, you drink well, and, after drinking, don't make trouble, don't shout, don't frizz, do you know what it means?"
Hu Jie's father drunkenly patted me on the shoulder and said, looking at me with a pair of drunk eyes.
I'm not very good at interpersonal communication, especially with my elders, and I don't know how to answer for a while, so I tentatively said, "It means...... This wine was drunk in vain?"
Him: "......"
I wonder if I don't say that, if you don't make a fuss or call someone after drinking, then this meal is drunk in vain. I thought he was going to do this, but he was stunned after I said this, and he was stunned for a few seconds before waving his hand again and again.
"No, no, no, you don't understand, I mean, hello! You're a good man, and I'm relieved that my daughter is with you. β
"No, don't, don't worry, I'm not at ease, what you're saying is too intimidating!"
I hurriedly stopped, and he had already revealed this meaning more than once for this wine, and I listened as if he was going to give me his daughter. Yes, it does fit my heart! But when you say this after drinking, am I really not serious?!
I heard of an aunt who met his father-in-law, and the grandfather talked about his brothers when he got drunk. You can't take what you say seriously after drinking, what should you do if you sue me for molesting your daughter? !
Lao Tzu doesn't suffer this loss!
"Uncle, uncle, you're drunk, come on, come on, rest, I'll go back. As I spoke, I helped him to the side of the bed and laid him down.
As soon as the drunken man lay down, he was really honest, and although he was still conscious, he couldn't say anything, so he lay down, shouting and screaming.
I looked at the time, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening, and I said why my aunt hadn't come back yet, so I called Baron to look for it, and by the way, I asked someone to clean up the dishes and everything in the house.
These days, the Tongzhou Club has recruited some servants, after all, most of the people who stay here, rough people, are not the kind of people who love to clean up, if you count on them to be conscious, my house is a terrible thing, so I can only recruit some people to clean the room or something. Naturally, these people are also managed by the big housekeeper Chen Jiao.
I went back to my room by myself, because most of it was used to improve the flow of mana, so although I was a little drunk, but not to the point of sleeping directly on the bed, I leaned on the quilt stacked up at the head of the bed, and bored with my phone.
It's just a few days after New Year's Day, and it's not even half of January, and this year's New Year is in February, so the New Year is at the end of January, and that's the day of the Shadow Army's party, and it's still half a month away, so there's no hurry. Half a month is more than enough to recover from the backlash I suffered, and maybe I can take advantage of this time to break through to the first level.
As for the Tongzhou Society, I can't be idle these days, and I have to personally check in person from time to time to see those cultivators who come for interviews.
Because there is no threshold for the enrollment of the Tongzhou Society, as long as the heart is recognized, then, even if it is a little mage who has just started, he can enter my Tongzhou Society. After joining the company, it is equivalent to finding a backer, and we treat our members very well. Based on these two points, we can welcome many people who want to take refuge every day.
Maybe if it was too peaceful, it wouldn't be like this, but the problem is that because of the leader of the Gong Demon Sect, the cultivators are in chaos, so they can't wait to find a place to live.
However, although there are many people who come, none of the ten people who can really stay here are brushed down because their hearts are not up to the mark. It's all loose cultivation, where does the collective honor, brotherhood or something come from, the lone ranger is used to it, it is difficult to cultivate a collective concept, and it is difficult to weaken the selfish mentality. And such a thing was blasted out.
"Let's go to the door tomorrow. I thought so and swiped the circle of friends with my phone.
The screen of the mobile phone is basically a projection in front of my eyes, but others can't see it.
As a result, as soon as I opened WeChat, I saw that there were dozens of friends who had applied, with various names, but the avatars were not far from ten......
Avatars can basically be grouped into three categories. One type is a flower, of course there are two, and then there are a few small grasses. There is also a category, which is the scenery, some are blue sky and white clouds, some are prairies, and some are seaside. The last category is either a Buddha statue, a Buddhist painting, or a sentence that seems very philosophical, or a combination of both.
You don't have to guess this kind of thing, this avatar must be old, and if you add me at this time, it must be the parents of those people.
Then I looked at it, and the remarks were all "Zeng Xiujie's second uncle", "Geng Xi's aunt", "Gao Yan's uncle" and the like, source: recommended by friends.
Then I agreed to them all and created a new group for them.
WeChat has a very interesting setting,That is, send dynamics in the circle of friends,If there is no one person's friends,Then I can't see the messages of that person's likes and comments,Now I have added so many of their friends,Zeng Xiujie and their circle of friends interaction is to see it clearlyγ
But then there are some fun situations that come up.
Geng Xi posted on Moments, saying that his mother is so good, knowing that he is doing something right now, and he has more pocket money for him.
Then he also accompanied a picture of his mother, a photo taken in the scenic area, with sunglasses and a scarf that seemed to be very fashionable, and smiled brightly.
As a result, his uncle commented: What about you show your mother?
β......β
That's embarrassing.
There is such a generation gap when a family of all ages talks together, and there are many such examples, but I came up with sleepiness and fell asleep directly.
When I woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and I was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Xiao Rui, are you awake?" Outside the door was a woman's voice, listening to the timbre, it was a middle-aged woman.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, I didn't cover the quilt all night, but I couldn't get such a disease from an ordinary little cold in my body.
"Ah, wake up, wake up. I shook my head, moved my muscles, and thought to myself, who the hell is this, I don't need to ask whose parents it must be, that is, they can get up so early, and now the young people can still get up at seven o'clock on vacation. But the point is, what is she doing here, playing with relationships, pleasing me so that her children can get some advantage?
I walked over and opened the door, and there was a middle-aged woman outside the door, looking at me with a smile on her face, and said, "Xiao Rui is awake, breakfast has been prepared, do you want to drink millet porridge?"
"Huh?"
Who is I talking about in my heart, I don't need to ask, I look at it directly with the detection eye, it is a woman surnamed Chu, forty-six years old this year, and the information on the side also writes her identity, and, this detection eye also has a setting, that is, if the person I saw this time has some connection with the person I have seen before, then this connection will also be written.
Looking at the past today, I wrote a connection, she is Hu Jie's mother.
