3. The Old Huang Family (2)
In the past, most of the Chen family relied on wealth to eliminate disasters, but with Huang Xu's growing up, the brothers he encircled were not just naughty, not only maintained their own shop, but also protected the ground in the south of the city. That's why he got the nickname of "Nancheng Huang Shilang".
Hearing that his brother still has this ability, Huang Chang is quite happy. The family obviously didn't give him any funding, but he was able to pull out a team by himself under almost bare hands, and his brother's "command" was not low. In the future, it seems that there is a great future, and if you support yourself for a while, the future will be even more exciting.
followed by the fifth sister Huang Zhao, when Huang Chang went up the mountain, this little girl was only five years old, and now she is only fifteen. Except that he didn't always like to throw himself into Huang Chang's arms like he did when he was a child, begging for a hug and lifting him high, Huang Chang felt the same as he did back then, and he talked and laughed soon after meeting, as if he had never been separated for ten years, but it also made him feel the warmth of the year.
After introducing the recent situation of the four siblings, Huang Chang immediately felt that the atmosphere between his father and mother was a little awkward. Mainly his father, who was expecting Ai Ai, but still let people take out a little child and tell him that this was his cousin.
Huang Chang already knew about the existence of this little brother from the family letter, and there was nothing psychologically unacceptable, and he took out a small ornament for him as a meeting gift just like the fifth sister. It's just that when I heard that this kid has not yet taken a big name, but has a small name called Huang Doudou, my heart chuckled slightly.
- Children are prone to early death, and it is normal to take only a small name before standing at the age of five or six. But his father, a former teacher, loved to work on these words all his life. The brothers and sisters were all named after birth, but it was the child's turn not to do it, and when he was introduced just now, he only said that he was a younger brother, but he didn't say that he was the sixth brother, which didn't even enter the ranking!
It seems that the turmoil caused by this incident in the family has not been completely eliminated...... However, Huang Chang had just gone home, and it was obviously not appropriate to jump out immediately to express his opinion on it, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and perfunctory.
Since he saw the child, his mother also wanted to see him after all. When Huang Chang saw the aunt, he also understood the changes in his father a little more - this aunt was really born with a very good appearance, and she was not a few years older than Huang Chang, and she was in the best time of a woman's life. His eyes are always full of tears, and he looks pitiful, which is indeed extremely easy to arouse a man's desire for protection and possessiveness. It's no wonder that Daddy can't hold on to such a Taoist person.
In Huang Chang's eyes, there seems to be a ...... in this aunt In the language of his previous life, it is a "white lotus"-like temperament, and coincidentally, this aunt happens to be surnamed Bai. As for his name, it's not something he should know as a son of man.
After seeing Aunt Bai, the other Aunt Chen naturally met together. Regarding this matter, Huang Chang used to tell Ji Ruo as a joke, but now that they have really met, they are very generous, but he is a little embarrassed.
- This aunt is his mother's sister-in-law, the seventh in the family, but the age is about the same as Huang Chang, when she was a child, she went to her grandfather's house to visit relatives, and they met together to play, but now they have become elders when they meet again. Huang Chang didn't know whether to call her "Seventh Aunt" or "Third Aunt"?
And in the end, the family's title made him cry and laugh - the family actually called her "Seventh Aunt"! Huang Chang was quite nervous for a while, thinking that his father was going to bring out four warblers and Yanyan again. Fortunately, no, but what should I do if I really have it in the future? When the time comes, the title is not completely messy?—— my seventh aunt is really big-hearted.
In the end, there is a relative who lives at home for a long time, but it is also his mother's mother's family, his uncle's third son Chen Shi. This is also very familiar with Huang Chang, the two are similar in age, when they were young, Huang Chang, Huang Xu, and this Chen Shi are about the same age, and they often mix together.
Among the three, Chen Shi is the oldest, but because Huang Chang has adult thinking, he always naturally becomes the one who has the final say among the three, and Huang Xu is clever and cunning, and he has never suffered losses, only Chen Shi is a stupid little fat man, and he often has a little extra money, so he has become a standard "stupid son of the landlord", although he is a cousin, he often pushes Huang Chang and Huang Xu out of the top cylinder.
However, Huang Chang's impression of him is actually good, the key is that it was the first time he went to his grandfather's house, when the Huang family was still very poor, and his grandfather Chen's family was much better. Naturally, many people in the Chen family looked down on them and regarded them as poor relatives who fought the autumn breeze.
Even if Huang Chang's mind is mature, he is also very depressed when he encounters this situation, but the Chen family is quite polite, but a group of children are messing around there, and it is not easy to care, which is really helpless.
The most embarrassing time, it was this little fat man Chen Shi who stood up and took his toys and candy to invite them to share together, so Huang Chang always remembered his chubby and kind smile.
I haven't seen him for ten years, and the little fat man of the year has become a ...... Young fat man. There is always that kind smile on his face, and a kind and wealthy expression - Chen Shi is now in charge of running those shops in the south of the city, and the Chen family pays the capital, but the benefits are shared by the Huang and Chen families.
There are basically so many family members, and the rest is nothing more than some subordinates, handmaidens, and the like, who are also dependent on the lord's family in this world, adding up to twenty or thirty people. By the standards of this era, it is not a big family, just a well-off family that has just escaped from extreme poverty.
However, for Huang Chang, this is also a good start, at least better than he imagined before going down the mountain. If the family has that kind of heart, he can support it and let the family expand into a family in a short period of time, which is quite sure.
However, there are some hidden dangers...... The estrangement between parents for that beautiful concubine is one thing. On the other hand, he also faintly felt that his mother's maiden family seemed to be a little deeply involved. Before he went up the mountain, he told his father to try his best to control this aspect and not to accept too much funding from relatives, otherwise the relationship would not be easy to handle in the future. But now it seems that after all, I still failed to grasp the balance.
- Through small talk, he learned that not only did the family have many relatives surnamed Chen, including the servants used, but many of them were also introduced through his grandfather and uncle. After all, in these years, you must know the roots, and without a reliable guarantor, who would dare to bring strangers home?
- This is a world of demons and monsters, and it is no exaggeration to say that sometimes what seems to be sanctimonious is not necessarily human!
