Ugly

Chen Rong couldn't utter a word for a long time, and couldn't win the argument with Chen Tian, ​​so she would blame Chen De and Liu Fang for not teaching Chen Tian well.

Liu Fang was also quite sharp-tongued. She said, "Our Xiaotian just can't stand adults bullying children. He means well, so don't take it personally."

Chen Rong said, "Sister-in-law, you said I bullied a child. Do I have to do that?"

Gao Yamei also interjected, "We adults should talk about adult topics. Why are you meddling in the children's affairs? They have their own circle."

It is rare for Gao Yamei and Liu Fang to unite to deal with Chen Rong. Last year, the two families had a heated argument, and today they joined forces to attack Chen Rong.

Chen Rong was about to say something, but Xu Zhen suddenly stopped her, saying, "Alright, Chen Rong, stop talking."

Chen Rong was scolded by her husband. Although she was very angry, she held back her anger and didn't say anything.

Xu Zhenle said happily: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be angry, she just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

Xu Zhen has come out to speak in good terms, and Gao Yamei and Liu Fang are not the kind of people who will not give in even if they are right.

Liu Fang was in a good mood. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, all of which tasted delicious.

Gao Yamei noticed that Chen Rong and Xu Zhen were exchanging glances, wondering what they were planning.

Normally, Chen Rong's family is the least low-key. Not only do they speak casually, but their behavior is also quite arrogant. They never let their family members suffer any loss. But this time they suddenly admitted defeat, which made it hard for her not to think too much.

Several families did not stay in the living room for long. With so many people, the New Year’s Eve dinner had to be prepared earlier, otherwise the New Year’s Eve dinner would have to be eaten on the Spring Festival.

Chen Hai said: "I think everyone should not be idle. We elders should go to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. As for the younger generations, just play by yourselves and don't make trouble."

After Chen Hai finished speaking, they listened to the joke as if they were just joking. No one paid any attention to it and continued talking about their own things.

Gao Yamei shouted loudly: "Everyone, lift your butts! How heavy is it? You don't even want to move?"

Gao Yamei shouted, and no one dared to sit and watch the fun. They all got up and went to the kitchen. Some started cooking, and some started preparing tables and chairs.

Chen De, Chen Hai and Xu Zhen stayed in the house to talk to the old lady, while the daughters-in-law and daughters went to the kitchen to busy themselves.

Chen Feng stayed to take care of Wang Lili. After all, pregnant women cannot be bumped or hurt, so they need to be carefully protected.

There are three bedrooms, two of which are occupied, so the living room is still the busiest.

Several people sat in the living room, no one spoke, and the only sound they could hear was the replays of previous years' Spring Festival Gala on TV.

Chen Tiandao: "Chen Xing, do you want to go out for a walk? I'll buy you some chocolate."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay."

Chen Xing turned to Chen Yue and said, "Sister, come with us. There's a supermarket that sells really delicious chocolate."

Chen Yue smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Chen Tian, ​​Chen Xing and Chen Yue ignored Xu Han and Xu Wei and walked straight out the door, bypassing them.

As a result, Xu Han and Xu Wei followed behind him, and no one knew what they were trying to do.

Chen Tiandao: "What are you two doing? I don't want to entertain you."

Xu Han and Chen Tian are about the same age. Last year, Xu Han was admitted to a key university in Shanghai. Chen Rong praised him a lot and even used this to belittle Chen Tian.

In addition, Xu Han has been arrogant since he was a child. Because his grandmother's side is not as rich as his grandmother's side, he is even more snobbish and looks down on this place.

Every time Xu Han comes here, she behaves like a spoiled young lady, which is really annoying.

Xu Han said: "Chen Tian, ​​please be more polite."

Xu Wei and Xu Han have the same attitude. You really are the same family but they both raised the same kind of people.

When Xu Wei was a child, he lived in the countryside for a period of time. At that time, Chen Rong and Xu Zhen's factory had just opened and it was very busy, so they sent Xu Wei to the countryside.

It happened that Chen Xing was also recuperating in the countryside during that time, and Xu Wei bullied Chen Xing a lot, especially under the protection of the old lady. In that house, except Chen Tian and grandfather, no one said a word to help Chen Xing.

Xu Wei asked, "Cousin, is this road built by your family? Why can't my sister and I use it?"

Chen Tian curled his lips and smiled wickedly, "Oh! You still remember that I'm your cousin? Just for this, you can go wherever you want. I can't stop you because your legs are on your body."

After Chen Tian finished speaking, he pulled Chen Xing and Chen Yue away from the two people behind them.

Chen Xing said: "Brother, you were so cool just now, you are really awesome."

Chen Tian smiled proudly and said, "That's right, your brother has never been afraid of anything."

When we arrived at the supermarket, as expected, Xu Wei and Xu Han followed in.

Chen Tian said generously: "Chen Xing, Chen Yue, you two can take whatever you want. I just got my salary, so don't save it for me."

Chen Xing joked, "Okay, it will definitely make your wallet bleed."

Chen Yue said: "Thank you, little cousin."

Chen Tian and Chen Yue don't communicate much in normal times. After all, Chen Yue always looks like she doesn't want to be approached by strangers. It's hard for Chen Tian to find topics to talk about with this studious nerd, so when he heard Chen Yue's words of thanks, he suddenly smiled awkwardly.

Chen Tiandao: "No need to thank me, don't be polite to me."

Chen Tian watched Chen Xing and Chen Yue buy the snacks they wanted in the supermarket, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Perhaps the meaning of his hard work in making money was embodied at this moment.

Chen Tian didn't want to buy anything. He was no longer at the age of liking snacks and didn't like sweets. He mainly wanted to take Chen Xing and Chen Yue out for a walk. It was a bit boring staying at that house, so he wanted to let them relax.

Xu Han and Xu Wei also entered the supermarket. They lingered in the supermarket and talked about something. They only came in when Chen Xing and the others were about to pay.

Chen Xing still had a lot of candy from last time, so this time she took some potato chips and chocolate. She would only eat food when she was bored, or eat a piece of candy when she didn't want to talk.

Chen Yue didn't take much, and she didn't like snacks very much. After all, Chen Tian was paying, so she was still worried and always felt uncomfortable taking too much.

Chen Tian was waiting for them at the checkout counter. When Chen Xing came back with the shopping basket, she saw Chen Tian trying to get a cigarette.

Chen Xing excitedly shouted sternly, "Chen Tian, ​​put it down!"

Chen Tian didn't notice Chen Xing behind him, so he just looked at the cigarettes casually without really wanting to buy them. Who knew that he would be caught by Chen Xing?

Chen Tiandou shuddered with fear, "Chen Xing, what did you call me?"

Chen Xing said: "Brother, you promised me that you would not smoke anymore."

Chen Tian now looked at Chen Xing's face with a guilty look, "Is that so...right? Well...I won't smoke anymore. I'll just take a look."

Chen Xing listened to Chen Tian's hesitant words and specially gave him a box of chewing gum, which was mint flavor, the flavor Chen Tian hated the most.

When Chen Tian came out after paying the bill, Chen Xing stuffed the box of mint-flavored chewing gum into Chen Tian's hand.

Chen Xing said, "Here, eat this."

"When you feel the urge to smoke, just chew a few cigarettes. Use your brain and heart to imagine that what you are chewing tastes similar to cigarettes. This way you won't want to smoke."

Chen Tian watched Chen Xing's exaggerated rendition of how to quit smoking and said with a curl of his lips, "Hey! Who did you learn this from? You look so good at it."

Chen Xing said, "Of course it's Nannan. Every time she doesn't have breakfast and is extremely hungry by the third period, she uses her imagination to make it seem like she's had a big meal. She says it works."

Chen Tian smiled and said, "Sure enough, it has to be her."

Chen Tian knew Shi Nannan. He remembered that Shi Nannan was a very abstract and funny person. She looked lively and optimistic. Chen Tian felt relieved when she played with Chen Xing.

Chen Xing and the other two were walking on the road, talking and laughing. Xu Han and Xu Wei, who were originally behind them, suddenly walked in front of them.

Chen Xing saw that these two people had obviously gone to the supermarket, but now they had nothing in their hands and were in such a hurry to go home. Something was wrong.

Chen Xing said, "Sister, have you noticed that Xu Han and Xu Wei are acting strangely today? Perhaps something is wrong with their entire family."

Chen Yue said: "Well, it is indeed much more low-key than before."

Chen Tiandao said, "What's so strange about that? They're still pretty annoying. They look at people as if they're owed 2.58 million. I don't know what they're so arrogant about."

Chen Xing was amused. Chen Tian's words were true but not harsh. They were indeed just as annoying.

Xu Han and Xu Wei went back early. Chen Xing and the others walked slowly on the road and arrived half an hour later than them.

As soon as they walked in, the New Year’s Eve dinner was ready, so they just had to wash their hands and start eating.

Chen Xing and Chen Yue put the snacks they bought in their room, went outside to wash their hands, and moved a stool to sit down.

Because there were too many people, they were divided into two tables. The younger ones sat at one table, and the older ones sat at the other. Fortunately, the living room was large enough to accommodate two tables of people.

Chen Xing and Chen Yue washed their hands and helped Gao Yamei serve the dishes. As soon as Chen Tian entered the room, he was busy moving stools and preparing dishes.

They all had work in their eyes and felt sorry for their parents. Only Xu Han and Xu Wei sat on chairs waiting for food.

Chen Tian moved the stools and saw Xu Han and Xu Wei sitting there, so he said, "Hey! Waiting to eat? Do you have the nerve to do this?"

Xu Wei said: "You!"

Perhaps Xu Han knew that this was not right, so he pulled Xu Wei to stand up, but Chen Rong happened to come in.

Chen Rong said to the two of them, "What are you waiting for? You've been hungry for a long time, so eat!"

Doesn't Chen Rong's words tacitly condone Xu Han and Xu Wei's impolite behavior?

Chen Xing and Chen Yue came in with rice, but when they saw this scene, they didn't know where to put it.

When Chen Rong saw this, she snatched the two bowls of white rice from Chen Xing's hands without saying a word and gave one bowl each to Xu Han and Xu Wei.

Chen Rong said, "The dishes on the table are all here, let's eat."

Chen Tian couldn't stand it anymore. No one would snatch food like that. If you didn't know, you would think he had never eaten in his life.

Chen Tian was about to curse, but was stopped by Chen Xing, who whispered, "Brother, forget it."

Chen Tian was pulled by Chen Xing and didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the two men. If they really dared to eat it, then their faces would be thicker than the city walls.

When Gao Yamei, Liu Fang and the others came in, they saw Chen Rong, her mother and her son sitting down to eat. The people standing by the door were dumbfounded.

Gao Yamei spoke first: "Okay, stop standing. There are no so many rules. Just sit down and eat if you are hungry."

Chen Rong said, "Yes, that's what I told the children. Dinner is already late, and usually they'd have finished dinner and gone to bed by this time."

After everyone was seated, Chen Tian said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice, "Your family lives like pigs. You go to bed before 8 o'clock. Do you eat eight meals a day?"

Chen Xing and Chen Yue happened to hear it and both of them were trying to hold back their laughter. Fortunately, there was nothing in their mouths, otherwise they really couldn't help it.

Xu Han and Xu Wei could also hear it, but perhaps because they were embarrassed, they kept silent and kept their heads down the whole time.
