Meet
When my eldest and third uncles took a closer look, my second and eldest uncles, who were facing the back door, became curious and turned back to take a look.
Shen Baichuan only felt that at this moment, he was ten times more nervous than when he went to attract investment.
Hearing that the house next door had quieted down and seeing Chen Jin going out with a group of people, he thought that the elders in her family were all at home. Just as she was thinking of going out to the backyard to get some fresh air, she unexpectedly ran into several of her male elders.
He is really lucky.
Shen Baichuan was a little nervous, but he looked quite natural. He nodded towards them and walked over to say hello.
"Oh, hello, Teacher Shen, right? Come and sit down, let's chat." The uncle asked him to sit down, then turned sideways and faced the white fence between the two yards... Chatting across the fence, why does it seem like visiting...
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for what happened before." The eldest uncle didn't say it clearly. Gu Shunfa was still sitting there. If Gu Shunfa and Chen Yun knew that Chen Jin's next-door neighbor was the eldest son of the Cheng Group, they might come up to him and try to establish a relationship with him. With the third sister's temper, she would definitely explode.
So, my uncle quickly changed the subject and asked, "Ms. Shen is a teacher at school now. It's not an easy job, is it? I see that my third sister has a lot of work to do every day as a counselor."
"My work is fine now. I will be busier next year when I am promoted to associate professor."
Shen Baichuan sat diagonally opposite his uncle, and just by looking at their age, one could tell who Chen Jin's uncle was. Chen Jin spoke little during the meal that day, but he could tell that she had a deep affection for her uncle. Assistant Lin also said that Chen Jin and he were able to buy this small Western-style house because Chen Jin's uncle had contacted several friends.
"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you yet. I was in a hurry to return to China, and it was thanks to your help that I was able to buy this small western-style house."
"Your family has also thanked you, so you don't have to be polite, Teacher Shen." When Assistant Lin took them to Hanlin Garden to buy a house, he gave an internal price and helped save a lot of money. It can be regarded as paying for information and returning a favor. Moreover, when he released the news, the relationship he wanted to establish was not with the Cheng Group, but he also gained benefits by passing the news on.
This teacher Shen is quite interesting. Why do you come here to show yourself? I just politely asked if he was busy at work, and he even said, "You'll be promoted to associate professor next year." Wow!
If Mr. Shen was not the eldest son of the Cheng Group, he could run a small company and be a university teacher. These conditions are really good and just right. But Qi Da is not an ordinary person. Although he looks like a decent person, they don’t know what kind of person he is in private. It's not easy to find out. Shen Baichuan only returned to Rong City last year, and his private life and behavior before that are difficult to find out.
In short, it’s not very reliable.
The uncle took a sip of tea from the cup and said with a smile, "With Teacher Shen's qualifications, there should be a lot of girls chasing after him, right? Didn't your family introduce you to anyone?"
The smile in Shen Baichuan’s eyes deepened.
During the last dinner, Chen Jin’s brothers and sisters could have noticed something. When they went back and told their elders at home, wouldn’t Chen Jin’s family know whether he was married or not?
He was afraid that Chen Jin's family would come to test his background.
He replied very frankly, "The elders here have thought about introducing me, but I can make my own decisions. My relatives on my mother's side all support my choice."
"Before, I was busy with study and work, and I was abroad, so I didn't meet the right person. I wanted to settle down in Rongcheng, and it was only this year that I started thinking about getting married."
The eldest uncle was as steady as a rock, and said "Oh" calmly, "It's good enough for Teacher Shen to succeed on her own. Our third sister is the same. She has always been independent-minded since she was a child, and we, as the elders, can't make decisions for her. If she says she doesn't like something, no one can force her to agree. Sigh, she is so stubborn."
Shen Baichuan followed his words and said, “Teacher Chen does have his own principles in doing things, which is good. This way, he won’t suffer any loss outside.”
My uncle almost laughed out loud. Look how good they are at talking.
Gu Shunfa was curious, so he pulled his uncle's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Who is this Mr. Shen?"
The second uncle smiled and said, "It's nothing special. He's a neighbor of the third sister. She mentioned him a few times."
Gu Shunfa didn't quite believe it and looked at his third uncle sitting opposite him. He saw that his third uncle just listened and drank tea in big gulps, completely unaware of the inquiring look he gave him.
He really looks like an ordinary university teacher.
That’s not right. Can an ordinary university teacher afford to live in such a small house? I guess his family conditions are pretty good.
Could it be that this is the person that my third sister is in contact with?
The more I thought about it, the more possible it seemed. I felt a little anxious. Why did my third sister suddenly start dating someone?
After all, the second uncle was sitting on the side leaning against the fence, and Shen Baichuan also heard his words, and glanced at the man next to Chen Jin’s second uncle calmly. Chen Jin has three uncles. Could this extra person be an ordinary relative? He also felt that Uncle Chen Jin seemed to be avoiding mentioning his identity when talking to him, and he vaguely understood something in his heart.
Now was not a good opportunity for conversation, so Shen Baichuan spoke to them for a few words and then said he had something to do and went back to the house.
As expected, my uncle did not try to persuade me to stay. He said cheerfully, "Let's have a good chat with Teacher Shen some other time when we have the chance."
My uncle thought to himself: If there is a chance, come home and chat. If there is no chance, then there is no need to chat.
Shen Baichuan returned to the house, in a very good mood. He had saved face in front of Chen Jin's elders, brothers and sisters. At least her family had an impression of him.
So far, it seems to be a positive impression.
However, in the end, it all depends on what Chen Jin thinks. Her uncle was right in his assessment; she was indeed too opinionated. The points that he appreciated at the beginning became obstacles for him. This mood...
—
Of course it was impossible for Chen Jin to take people around the entire school, so he chose some of the more iconic places in the school and took people there to see them. You can't enter the library. People from outside need to get a reading card to enter. There is nothing interesting inside. It is full of students who are busy reading and writing. You go in just to feel the atmosphere.
But they also brought Junjun, the "hundred thousand whys questioning machine", so they dared not go into the library and get scolded.
When we arrived at an empty lawn in the school, there were about a dozen people in front of us who seemed to be performing. Some brought tape recorders to play tapes, some brought guitars to accompany the singers, and some read poems aloud...
Chen Jin took another look and found that the number of boys and girls who came together to participate in the activity was almost half and half. Is this the student weekend social activity that Teacher Chang and the others mentioned? !
Well, she really didn't participate in such things when she was in college.
Chen Yongan was very excited all the way, and kept chattering: "Third sister, Sister Jiajia, your school is so big, and there are so many activities! I have never seen anything like this in our school."
Chen Jin said: "That's because you stay in the dormitory after class and go home on weekends. No matter how many activities your school has, what can you see?"
"......Too."
After walking for more than an hour, everyone was tired, so they sat on the stone bench next to them to rest. Junjun ran over and followed suit, sitting on the lawn and watching the person in the middle sing and play the guitar.
Then, when people gave me snacks, I didn't want to come back even more.
Chen Jin looked at his eldest cousin and his wife, and couldn't understand how they could give birth to a child as outgoing as Junjun.
Chen Jin moved to the side of Zhuang Yao and poked his second cousin, "When I called my aunt, she said she wouldn't come. Why did she come today? Did she want to ask me for something?"
"When the housing reform was announced, everyone wanted to get involved and share a piece of the pie. They probably wanted to buy the land to build houses. You just got a sum of money, and your uncle has set his sights on you. He wants to find your eldest aunt to play the emotional card with you. And that's not all." The second cousin sneered, "When she came here, your eldest aunt took my car with my parents and asked if you were dating someone. She probably wanted to introduce you to a relative from their Gu family. My dad scolded her back."
After being scolded by his father, the eldest aunt said that she was just asking casually and never mentioned it again. It makes people angry for no reason. No one comes to you for no reason, and as soon as he comes he tries to ruin someone's mood.
Chen Jin curled his lips, knowing that it was definitely not a good thing. It couldn't be said that she was disappointed. The affection that her aunt had for her was being worn away little by little, until it was almost worn away and hollowed out. Now that cousin Minmin has gone to Quan City again, what kind of interaction will she have with my aunt's family in the future? At most, he is just an ordinary relative.
"Luckily you're smart and made your announcement as soon as we met." The second cousin leaned back with his hands and said with a smile, "We have to make a rule in our family from now on. No big or good news is allowed to be announced at dinner parties. Even the biggest news should be announced after dinner and after the party is over."
Chen Jin laughed, "This is a good family rule. We'll stick to it from now on. Whoever wants to cause trouble should be prepared to be scolded."
The third cousin poked her head with his finger from behind and said, "We saw your next-door neighbor when we came out."
The last time he went out to lead a tour group, he was not in Rong City. Now thinking about it, he felt that he really missed it. If he was there, he would have to interrogate Teacher Shen for all his details. Did they really just go out for a meal? !
"It's not normal that you saw it. He was standing at the gate. Who can not see it if you have eyes?!" Chen Jin sighed. Teacher Shen didn't come to her to harass her, but her family knew about it. It's difficult.
"Don't ask me. Otherwise, I will also ask you why you haven't found a partner yet when we are having dinner."
With such nice weather, Chen Jin also wanted to lie down on the lawn. But no, she saw her students.
A boy from a dormitory and six girls from other colleges came over and also chose a piece of grass to sit down and chat. They brought more musical instruments, even a erhu. Okay, he is a boy from the music department, so it is normal for him to have many musical instruments.
It was like a small concert. Chen Jin was quite happy to hear it. He touched the table casually and said regretfully, "I should have brought some snacks."
Then he pointed at the boy playing the erhu in front of him and said proudly: "Those boys are all my students."
Everyone looked over and said, "Your students are all good at chasing girls."
Noticing the strong gazes from this side, the male classmates also looked over, and then one boy was probably too excited and waved at Chen Jin. Others called him "Teacher Chen", but he called him "Rich Sister"...
So, on the way back from school, Chen Jin's ears were almost annoyed.
"Rich lady, do you want to buy some fruit?"
"You guys eat a lot outside of school, rich lady."
"Rich lady..."
Zhuang Yao laughed so hard that tears were about to come out of her eyes, and said to Chen Yongxin: "Third sister is really funny."
Being with Chen Jin, I feel happy while shopping, getting beauty treatments, and eating. I didn’t expect that it would be so funny just to follow her out to school.
There are a lot of reasons in the outside world, and when encountering problems, you can defend your own interests with confidence and even get back at others with the right. You can say she is mature because her home has so many dolls and snacks that it is comparable to a private kindergarten.
"I thought she was a serious teacher at school." I didn't expect there was such a funny name.
"She has so many nicknames." Chen Yongxin also found it funny. The nickname "Rich Sister" is really not wrong. The third sister is now a happy little rich lady.
As soon as they came back, the family started preparing dinner and set up a barbecue stall. The smell wafted to the house next door.
All the guests at Professor Song's house had left, and now he finally had time to come over and say hello to Chen Jin's family. My uncle and the others felt embarrassed, and then the two groups started to brag about each other. They said Chen Jin often went to talk to them, and they said Chen Jin was taken care of by them...
Professor Song only found out that today was Chen Jin's birthday when he came over. He also said that he would give her a gift another day, which made Chen Jin feel embarrassed. Seeing that they were busy cooking, Professor Song didn't stay long. He turned around and went to Shen Baichuan's house and knocked on the door, calling him to come over to his house to eat together.
We cooked a lot for dinner, but there was a lot left over. Everyone was either waiting to eat cake or had eaten a lot of barbecue and were not very hungry. As soon as they said they were full, the leftover food on the table was packed up and put away for them to take away later.
I wanted to leave it for Chen Jin, but Chen Jin said that he ate in the cafeteria every day and didn't cook at home, and he couldn't finish it by himself. I can only give up.
"Light it up, light it up. You don't need to put 22 in. That's too many. Just three will be enough..."
As soon as the candle was lit, my uncle said "OK". The next second Chen Jin blew out the candles and started to divide the cake, without noticing that my uncle wanted to say a few words. The uncle was feeling depressed, so Chen Jin handed him a piece of cake and said seriously: "First of all, I want to thank you very much, uncle. Thank you for helping me make a fortune."
Everyone laughed, this thank you was so sincere.
Then Chen Jin passed the cakes to the aunt one by one. When he got to the aunt, Chen Jin said, "I wish you a smooth delivery. I won't say anything else. I know you care about me, but you should stop worrying about me. Your health is the most important thing now. Come, eat the cake."
"And there's Uncle's, you can eat that too. I can handle my own affairs, Uncle, please pay more attention to my aunt, but don't think about introducing me to a date or anything like that. Don't worry about me."
Chen Jin was too lazy to guess what her aunt and uncle were thinking at this moment. Now that she had reminded them to this extent, they would never pretend to be stupid and do things under the banner of "for her own good", right?
The remaining brothers and sisters didn't say much, and just stuffed the cake in their hands and said, "Eat!"
Stop calling me "rich lady". Can't food stop you from talking? !
"There are still a few pieces left. I'll go next door to deliver the cake. You guys eat first." Chen Jin took a serving tray and ran straight to Professor Song's house.
The uncle glanced at Gu Shunfa and Chen Yun, who looked uncomfortable, and said, "You've been out all day today, so go back and rest early and don't get tired."
