Chapter 1543: Who are you and me related to?
Le’s father is an optimist. The nephew of the Chao family handed over the purpose of investigating someone who wanted to get married to Handsome Yan, and he no longer struggled with it.
Zhou Qiufeng also guessed that the Song family probably thought Lele was popular and wanted Lele to introduce good jobs to girls from the Song family, but she didn't think much more about it.
Lan San is a little ghost. When he finds an opportunity, he notifies his teammates to check the background of a certain aunt in the Zhou family and her husband's family. It doesn't matter if they are not familiar with the Song family. Let's start with the relatives in the Zhou family.
Brother Zhou sent the Song family away and then took it away without further discussion.
The weather was very cold, but it still couldn't stop Xiao Leshan from often looking outside the house. He no longer ran to the village office building, but only looked around on the village road next to the house. He would go out and look around at least seventeen or eighteen times a day.
The weather forecast says that the temperature will continue to drop in the next few days. People in Plum Village are fine and visit each other.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Dalian, the Cheng family brothers, made an appointment to have dinner at Le's house. In less than half the morning, all the Cheng family brothers met at Le's house.
All their families went out with their families, including the old and middle-aged. As for the children, the children from each family either did not come back for the New Year or went to their grandma's house.
Chen Dalian made an appointment with his childhood friends and naturally he would not miss it, because the Chen family came to visit shortly after breakfast and they entertained the guests.
After sending away the people who came to visit, Chen Dalian and Sister-in-law He were packing up, and were about to take their two children to Lejia to receive New Year gifts, but unexpectedly someone came to visit again.
There were five guests who came to visit Chen Da Mian's house, including two elderly men and women in their sixties or seventies, two middle-aged men, and a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The five people, old and young, were neatly and decently dressed. The elderly men and women had traces of time on their faces, with deeper nasolabial folds. They were all wearing dark red down jackets and knitted hats, and they all had ordinary faces.
The two middle-aged men look about 60-70% similar to the older man, and there are also shadows of older women. The older one is wearing a brown woolen mid-length windbreaker. He is slightly shorter, about 1.76 meters tall;
The middle-aged man with a slightly younger appearance wears a gray-blue woolen coat, about 1.79 meters tall, and wears a dark red scarf.
The young man is about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a red woolen coat and a high-collared white woolen sweater. He has good facial features, very white skin, and looks very quiet. His face is most similar to that of an older man.
The two middle-aged men and the young man among the four were each carrying a backpack, the two middle-aged men were also carrying gift boxes, the tall man was dragging a large password box, and the elderly man was leaning on a cane.
The five people were led by a villager to Chen Dalian's house.
Chen Dalian's house is a newly built house. His new building has three rooms in a row. There is a main room in the middle and rooms on both sides. A wing room is built on the right side facing the building for the kitchen, and a stairwell and bathroom are built on the left side.
Hearing the villagers calling his name, Chen Dalian ran from the side room to look under the eaves of the building. He saw that a son of Yang Dayantong from the same village accompanied five men and women to the door of his house. He was a little confused: "Yang Sanpao, what do you want?" Which house are you going to visit, and what do you want me to do?"
"Big face, these distant visitors are from your family, I will help guide them." Yang Sanpao didn't care if he was called a nickname. People in the village were accustomed to calling each other by nicknames. Now, I often can't react when my name is called.
"My relatives? It's impossible, I don't know them." Chen Dalian walked out and scratched his head: "Uncle, are you looking for the wrong person? Which one are you looking for?" "Me
neither I know, I'm looking for your house anyway. The guests have been delivered, so I'll go back first." Yang Sanpao sent the enquirer to Chen Dalian's house and retired with success.
Chen Dalian didn't even let him sit down. He was from the same village and we often had the opportunity to meet each other. In the future, he could just buy a pack of cigarettes and say thank you.
The old man holding a crutch thanked the villager who led the way and walked towards Chen's house: "You are Chen Li, right? Li is the prefix for rain, with the word "factory" at the bottom and the word "force" in the factory, right?" "The word "Li" means "Li"
. That word, but I don't know you. Could it be that which family on my mother-in-law's side are you related to? What's your surname?" Chen Da's face became even more confused. He could tell his name, but he didn't recognize him. This is Where are the relatives from?
"My surname is Chen, Erdong Chen." The old man walked forward slowly and spoke clearly.
"Ha, your surname is Chen. You can't write two characters "Chen" in one sentence. You are from the same family, but I still don't know who you are related to me. You guys first invite me to sit down and talk slowly. ." Chen Dalian received the guests and invited them into his home first.
"My surname is Chen and I am Chen Kang. You may not be familiar with it. I have a sister named Chen Hongying. My eldest nephew, I made it so clear. You don't want to think that you are not related to me." Chen Kang looked at his family members
. I like the fact that the Chen family was born and raised in Meicun. They have never produced any high-ranking officials. At least they have established themselves upright and have not embarrassed their ancestors. Chen Li also has the backbone of the old Chen family and has not embarrassed the ancestors of the Chen family.
Chen Dalian originally thought that the person surnamed Chen might be a descendant of the Chen family who was away visiting relatives. When the old man said that his sister's name was Chen Hongying, he almost jumped up: "You... what did you say? Chen Kang? You Is it Chen Kang from uncle Chen Dazhuang's family?"
There are two people named Chen Kang in the Chen family. One is of the same generation as him, also named Chen Kang. The other Chen Kang is the brother of Yueqing's biological mother, Chen Hongying. The girl in the Chen family has a red letter in her name. There were more than a dozen, and there was only one named Chen Hongying.
Chen Dazhuang of the Chen family died young. Chen Kang and Chen Hongying lost contact decades ago. Everyone in Meicun thought that Chen Kang was no longer alive, but now someone comes out and says that he is Chen Hongying's brother Chen Kang? !
Chen Dalian almost thought he saw... a ghost. Oh my god, did he get up too early today and didn't wake up? His eyes were dazzled and his ears were ringing?
"Yes, is it possible that the Chen family has another Chen Kang?" Chen Kang leaned on crutches, turned half of his body, and pointed at the person behind him: "The old lady behind is my mother-in-law, her surname is Zhou, and her book name is Zhou Wei. You can just call me aunt. Those two boys are my bastards. The taller one is called Chen Xin, the hard-working Xin one is a little older than you, the shorter one is called Chen Jie, the agile Jie one is a little younger than you. I also have a girl who is also married. She didn't come this time. The last one is your nephew Chen Fengnian, who is one month younger than your eldest girl Chen Xiaozhu. This one is born in September." Chen Xin and Chen Jie followed their parents
. , when my father introduced himself to the brothers from the Chen family in his hometown, he smiled at everyone. After the introduction, he first said hello to the brothers from his hometown: "Happy New Year, brother/brother." Chen Fengnian, who was the little tail at the end, also hurriedly said to the
elders Say hello: "Uncle Li, happy new year. I wish you a fortune in the new year."
After listening to a long list of introductions, Chen Da face was a little confused. The brother over there greeted him, so he had no time to think about why Uncle Chen Kang suddenly returned to his hometown. He responded with "Hey, hey" and said hello to Uncle Kang's aunt: "Auntie." Happy New Year, brother, happy New Year to my brothers, and happy nephew."
Zhou responded with a smile, walked to his wife, took out a big red envelope and handed it over: "Good boy, may everything go well in the New Year."
A red envelope was handed over to Chen His big face was covered again: "Auntie, I... I'm not a child anymore." Only children get New Year's red envelopes, and he is already in his forties.
"This is a greeting gift from your aunt. It's not a New Year's red envelope. Just keep it." Chen Kang smiled and reached out to pat the bewildered nephew. He turned around and saw the hostess coming out with her child, a smile on his face. Deeper: "My nephew and wife, wish you a happy New Year!"
Sister-in-law He had a rough idea of the relatives in the man's village, but she was not sure about the relatives surnamed Chen who were outside. She could hear the voices outside in the house, so she first mentioned them. The Le family's New Year's greetings were put away again, and they took the two girls outside to see who was coming.
The mother and daughter said nothing because they were recognizing relatives there. When the old man walked towards the building again and took the initiative to say hello to her, Sister-in-law He hurriedly responded and walked forward to greet her: "Happy New Year, uncle, Happy New Year aunt." "Okay, brother, brother, and nephew, happy New Year."
Chen Xin and Chen Jie didn't see the hostess at first. When they saw her, they immediately said hello to their younger siblings/sister-in-law. Chen Fengnian was also busy saying hello to the elders.
Sister-in-law He said Happy New Year to the two enthusiastic brothers, welcomed the aunt who came to her husband's house, and extended her hand to support the old man.
With a smile on his face, Zhou accepted the support of his husband's nephew and daughter-in-law, took out a red envelope with his other hand and handed it over.
Sister-in-law He was not polite and happily accepted the meeting gift.
The two girls from Chen Dalian and He's sister-in-law's family are wearing red down jackets. The eldest is called Chen Xiaozhu. She will be thirteen years old in August of the second half of the lunar calendar. She is 1.52 meters tall. The younger one is called Chen Xiaohe and will not turn nine until December.
The two sisters were clever. When their mother went to welcome the elders, they quickly opened the main room door, turned on the electric heater in the kotatsu, and set up the benches.
When their parents accompanied the guests into the main room, the two sisters greeted their elders politely: "Uncle, grandpa, uncle, happy new year, brother, happy new year." The two little girls looked upright, polite and smart, and Chen Kang responded slightly happily
. The old couple stuffed a big red envelope for their child.
Chen Xin and Chen Jie also immediately took out the red envelope and gave it to their niece.
The little sisters looked at their parents and happily accepted the red envelopes from their elders after receiving permission.
Chen Dalian invited his uncle and his family to sit next to the kotatsu first, and then started to light the charcoal fire. Sister-in-law He first poured a cup of hot tea for the guests, and then put dried fruits and apples on the table.
Chen Kang and his mother-in-law were not polite. The Chen brothers put their luggage aside and went to sit down first.
Since he had not returned to his hometown for decades, Chen Kang's eyes became moist when he drank the tea with the flavor of his hometown.
Chen Dalian burned the charcoal pot vigorously, put it in the main room, and sat down to chat with his old uncle. He first asked how his health was, and then asked why he hadn't come back to his hometown for decades and why he hadn't come back to his hometown this year. I am willing to go back to my hometown for a walk.
When asked why he hadn't returned to his hometown for decades, Chen Kang's eyes turned red. Chen Xin immediately answered: "My dad has always missed his hometown. It's not that he doesn't want to come back, but that my dad... was deceived miserably before... ..."
"Being cheated? Who tricked this old uncle into doing what?" Chen Dalian looked puzzled. Uncle Chen Kang's family didn't have a lot of wealth, so who had no time to do anything to deceive this old uncle and prevent him from returning to his old age?
