Chapter 65



Cen Zhengnian looked at Yan Hemin, and he looked at his pocket, the meaning was self-evident.

Cen Zhengnian swallowed the beef jerky slowly, took out a piece from his pocket and handed it to him, saying helplessly: "Teacher, if you want to eat it, you can just tell me directly." Yan Hemin

took the beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth: "I don't want to eat it, you gave it to me, how can I refuse the kindness of a student?"

Cen Zhengnian didn't say anything, and saw that he had finished eating, and handed him another piece, with a look of "whatever you want to say, you can say whatever you want.

" "Your beef jerky tastes good, where did you buy it?" Yan Hemin began to think about whether to ask his wife to buy some back, so that she can take it out and eat a piece when she is hungry while doing scientific research, and it will not affect her work.

Tenderness appeared in Cen Zhengnian's eyes, and he raised his mouth and said, "My wife brought it from the northwest."

In Yan Hemin's smiling and joking eyes, Cen Zhengnian continued with a normal expression, "She was worried that I would be hungry, so she specially prepared it for me to bring to the unit."

Yan Hemin ate beef jerky and smiled, "You young people are still very close."

"Teacher, what kind of close relationship do you have?"

The two of them had already walked to the door of the laboratory. The laboratory and the design and calculation laboratory were not together.

The door was half open, and the researchers inside were all working at their desks and drawing design drawings on paper. Only Ye Xingxiu took the data he had calculated and was about to go to Yan Hemin to take a look when he heard the conversation between the two at the door.

Yan Hemin said cheerfully, "I'm talking about Zhengnian and his wife. Did you see that..." He shook the beef jerky in his hand and said, "Zhengnian's wife prepared it for him." Yan

Hemin sighed, "I'm getting old. I can't compare with you young people. But seeing you reminds me of my wife and I in the past."

He ate the beef jerky with relish, patted Cen Zhengnian on the shoulder and praised, "Zhengnian, your wife is very good, cherish her. Xingxiu, you haven't married yet, right? Work hard."

The smile on Ye Xingxiu's face froze instantly, and he looked at Cen Zhengnian with resentment. He didn't look complacent, and his mouth curled up slightly. He said in a very natural tone: "Thank you, teacher, I will."

Ye Xingxiu looked at the beef jerky, stretched out his hand to Cen Zhengnian and said: "Everyone who sees it has a share, don't be stingy."

He didn't have a wife, so it would be good to eat more of the things prepared by Cen Zhengnian's wife to vent his anger. It would be best if he finished it all and see if he would show off secretly.

Humph, his mother has already started to find a blind date for him. When he goes home and successfully gets married, he will ask his wife to prepare food for him, and he will deliberately eat it in front of Cen Zhengnian.

Cen Zhengnian glanced at him, walked to his desk and sat down, saying, "I may be a little stingy."

He had no intention of giving Ye Xingxiu beef jerky. Yan Hemin listened to the two people's conversation with a smile, but did not participate.

Ye Xingxiu took a deep breath and suddenly shouted in the office, "Zhengnian, what is this?"

"Beef jerky!"

"Your wife prepared it! Oh, I don't want it, I don't want it, but you insist on giving it to me, so I'll try it."

Cen Zhengnian watched his performance expressionlessly. At this time, the attention of other people in the office had been attracted by him.

Fenfen came over: "Zhengnian, do you have beef jerky? Let me have a taste, I'm hungry too."

Others also said the same thing. Cen Zhengnian took out the food from the cabinet under the desk and said in a light voice: "You should thank my wife. She asked me to bring it today."

Otherwise, you will have to eat it if you are hungry. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone heard Cen Zhengnian's hidden message.

When they took snacks, beef jerky, and dried fruits to eat, they smiled and said to Cen Zhengnian: "Thank you sister-in-law!"

"Thank you sister-in-law."

"Thank your wife for me."

A person in the research room divided Cen Zhengnian's food into various portions. If he hadn't been quick, he would have almost missed it.

The culprit was Ye Xingxu. Cen Zhengnian looked at him solemnly and ignored him all day.

When they went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, Ye Xingxu was still saying that Cen Zhengnian was stingy.

"Didn't you just eat the things your wife brought you? Don't you have to say a word to me until now?"

Cen Zhengnian got his meal, sat at the table, looked at Ye Xingxu who was sitting opposite him, nodded and said, "I am stingy. I am afraid that if I pay attention to you again, I will lose the things my wife sent me."

What is important is not the things, but who sent them. If Cen Zhengnian brought them himself, he would have distributed them to his colleagues in the laboratory without Ye Xingxu saying anything.

Ye Xingxu also knew that he had offended Cen Zhengnian. He sat back and saw that Cen Zhengnian really seemed to be ignoring him. What would he do when he needed Cen Zhengnian's help to look at the data again?

He covered his forehead with a look of failure. He forgot about this matter just to vent his anger.

He sighed, lowered his head and said, "Okay, I was wrong. Next time your wife gives you something, I will not say anything."

Cen Zhengnian took a bite of the food and said, "If it is clothes or other gifts, you can say something."

In other words, except for food.

Ye Xingxiu: ...

He is not a human being. If he says one more word in the future, he will be a dog!

Jiang family.

Jiang Zhida finally ran out of the study room out of boredom to destroy the pots of flowers planted by Grandpa Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang had retired a long time ago. After the Jiang family was rehabilitated, the two most famous universities in Beijing wanted to hire him back to give lectures. He agreed to go to Beijing University and taught two classes a week. It was too much for his body to bear, and he usually did translation work at home.

When he had nothing to do, he would tend to the flowers and plants at home, drink tea and read books, and chat with a few good friends. These flowers and plants were his treasures. In winter, they were all moved into the house for fear of freezing, and now they were placed outside in spring.

Jiang Zhida pulled the leaves of the flowers and plants for a while, but still felt bored and wanted to run out and play with his friends.

But when he thought that his father would not see him when he came over, and he would scold him again, he sat back on the sofa without any interest, took an apple to chew, and turned on the TV.

In the study, Cen Huaian and Grandpa Jiang were already in the most intense stage of the chess game.

Grandpa Jiang was at ease, smiling with a relaxed face, looking at Cen Huaian opposite, waiting for him to make a move.

Cen Huaian looked at the chessboard with his brows tightly furrowed, thinking carefully about how to avoid getting himself into trouble.

There is a big gap between Cen Huaian's chess playing level and Grandpa Jiang's.

No matter how talented he is, he has no time to learn. He wants to compete with someone who has been playing chess for most of his life, and has been learning since elementary school, and his chess skills are well-known in the circle.

If Grandpa Jiang wants to beat him, he can win quickly. It's just that he wants to see Cen Huaian's current level, chess style and his thinking when facing a difficult situation in the chess game, so he lets him play when playing chess.

Cen Huaian already feels that he can't beat his great-grandmother, but he didn't give up, even though he thought for a long time before making each move and played very slowly.

Grandpa Jiang likes Cen Huaian who never gives up very much.

One's character can be seen from playing chess. Although An An does not play chess like a child, he can even be said to be ferocious. Sometimes, some traps are designed to be very cruel to the opponent, showing no mercy and not giving you any chance to turn things around.

Some people don't like Cen Huaian's style of chess, thinking that he is cruel. But Grandpa Jiang likes it very much. When fighting, there is no need to show mercy. Naturally, the enemy must be defeated.

Chu Xia had read half of the book, and when she looked up, she found that Cen Huaian and Grandpa Jiang had not finished playing chess.

Reading books all the time can easily make her nearsighted. Chu Xia blinked her eyes, feeling a little dry, and walked to Cen Huaian to watch the two play chess.

She couldn't tell who was going to lose and who was going to win, but she saw beads of sweat on Cen Huaian's forehead, while Grandpa Jiang was still smiling kindly, without any tension at all.

It was obvious that the game was in Grandpa Jiang's favor.

At this time, there were some voices and children's voices outside. Grandpa Jiang put down the chess pieces, smiled gently and said, "Let's stop here today. An'an, do you want to learn chess from me in the future?"

Cen Huaian knew that he would lose if he played again. When great-grandmother said it was over, he put the chess pieces back into the chess basket and looked at Grandpa Jiang and said seriously in a childish voice, "I will listen to mom."

Chuxia didn't know Go herself, so in this regard, she naturally respected Cen Huaian's opinion: "An'an, you need to make your own decision to learn Go. If you want to learn from great-grandmother, then you can learn from him."

Cen Huaian sat there thinking. He liked playing chess with great-grandmother.

Great Grandmother is very good at playing chess. In the previous game, no matter how he played, Great Grandmother always found a way to stop him, and made him think of many ways to break his chess.

When playing chess, it was not to win him. Cen Huaian could feel that Great Grandmother was guiding him on how to play chess. He learned a lot from just this one game.

Cen Huaian said without hesitation: "I want to learn from Great Grandmother."

Grandpa Jiang was originally worried that Cen Huaian would refuse, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly turned into a line of smile, and he couldn't hide his happiness.

"Okay! Okay! Chuxia, I heard you. Send An'an here when you are free."

Chuxia smiled and nodded: "With what Grandma said, we will come more often in the future, and we are not afraid that you will find us annoying."

Grandpa Jiang was still looking forward to Chuxia and Cen Huaian coming more often. At his age, what he likes most is to play with his grandchildren and the warm and noisy home.

It's a pity that everyone is busy on weekdays and the children are in school, so Grandpa Jiang's place is deserted.

Hearing Chuxia say this, the smile on his mouth became bigger, and he said in a heroic tone: "What's the trouble? I'm happier if you come every day."

Zhishu Jiang was still looking at the chessboard, while Luo Peng looked at Chuxia and then at Cen Huaian, with a trace of envy and loneliness in his eyes that was not easy to detect.

The noise of laughter outside was getting louder and louder. Grandpa Jiang opened the door of the study and walked out of the study first. The outside was suddenly quiet, followed by voices calling people one after another.

"Dad."

"Grandpa.

" "Grandma."

"Grandpa."

Chuxia and Cen Huaian followed Grandpa Jiang out and saw that the living room outside was already full of people, both adults and children, and the children were playing by themselves.

When they saw Chuxia and Cen Huaian, their eyes all fell on the two of them, curious, friendly, and inquisitive.

Chuxia stood there generously, looking at them and smiling. And Cen Huaian held Chuxia's hand tightly, his little face was tense, and his eyes looked at the adults with curiosity and vigilance.

He always behaved like this to unfamiliar strangers, and he didn't like to talk much with outsiders.

Jiang Zhishu had already walked over with Luo Peng, and Jiang Waiye also walked over. Chuxia led Cen Huaian and walked in front of everyone under all kinds of gazes.

Jiang Waiye introduced Chuxia one by one: "Chuxia, this is your eldest uncle and eldest aunt, and over there are your second uncle and second aunt."

Jiang Dashu was just like Jiang Zhida mentioned a few times before. You can tell from his eyes that he is a very orthodox person. Like Jiang Zhishu, he doesn't have much expression on his face.

But the eldest aunt is different. She has a gentle strength. She looks elegant and gentle with a smile on her face, but her eyes are very tough. You can feel a kind of beauty of both strength and softness from her.

Second Uncle Jiang looked cheerful, and Second Aunt was very pretty. There was almost no sign of age on her face. Only the corners of her eyes showed that she was not young anymore, but she had a kind of beauty between maturity and youth.

Chu Xia was also stunned when she first saw her face. To be honest, the Jiang family members were not bad looking, but Second Aunt was still the most eye-catching one.

Chu Xia smiled and greeted them: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. Hello, Second Uncle and Aunt."

She also asked Cen Huaian to call Uncle and Aunt.

Although Uncle Jiang looked very serious, Chu Xia could feel that he was trying to show kindness, including Aunt. Second Uncle Jiang was also very enthusiastic and smiled when talking to her and An An.

Only the second aunt was a little cold to her and An'an, looking at them and then looking away. But Chuxia didn't care much. Whether they liked her and An'an or not, these elders gave them red envelopes.

It was the first time to meet the relatives from the husband's side, and according to etiquette, red envelopes should be given.

Uncle Jiang had two sons and a daughter. Chuxia had already met the sons, Jiang Zhishu and Jiang Zhida.

The daughter was Jiang Zhiguan. Today she and her husband Zhang Wei also came, bringing their daughter Zhang Lu.

Uncle Jiang had a son and a daughter. The eldest son Jiang Zhijie was married to Bai Han, and had a son Jiang Weixian. The daughter Jiang Zhiyi was in high school.

After hearing the introduction, Chuxia discovered that there were only two children of the same generation as Cen Huaian in the Jiang family. As the eldest brother, Magistrate Jiang did not seem to have said that he had children.

But Chuxia only thought about it in her heart and put it aside. Other people's private affairs had nothing to do with her.

Chuxia and Cen Huaian greeted the Jiang family members who came to see her today.

Grandpa Chiang smiled and said, "Normally our family doesn't get together like this. Today, thanks to Chuxia and An'an, I can see all my sons and grandsons here." Uncle Chiang

said sternly, "Dad, I came whenever you called me."

Uncle Chiang also complained, "Dad, you make it sound like my eldest brother is so unfilial. If you like us to come more often, I will bring Zhijie and Zhiyi here every week." Grandpa Chiang waved his

hand, "That's not necessary. Just remember to come once every ten days or half a month."

He knew that his sons and grandsons were busy. After all, they have only been stable in their jobs for a short time, and it is time for them to work hard. Grandpa Chiang would also understand the difficulties of the younger generation.

The aunt took Chuxia to sit beside her and touched Cen Huaian's head: "Chuxia, An'an is really well raised by you. She looks like a smart child."

Chuxia nodded without humility: "Aunt, I think so too. An'an, what do you think?"

Cen Huaian leaned on Chuxia, rubbed her affectionately and nodded: "Yeah."

The aunt's name is Yang Mei, and she works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She used to be a student of Grandpa Jiang. She often came to Grandpa Jiang's house with other students to ask him questions, and later she got together with Uncle Jiang. Her

job destined her to come into contact with all kinds of people. When the family was in a bad situation before, all kinds of people would take advantage of her. Later, when the situation got better, they came one by one to flatter her.

Yang Mei is very good at judging people. It is rare to see someone like Chu Xia who speaks directly, and her eyes are clear and

honest, which makes people like her at first sight. Yang Mei likes Chu Xia even more when she sees her eyes, and she also likes An An very much.

Chu Xia found that Yang Mei's eyes were always on An An, and she asked her many interesting things about An An, and it seemed that she liked him very much.

When Yang Mei heard Chu Xia say that her family had two dogs, she immediately said, "I like dogs too, but your uncle and I are too busy and don't have time to take care of them."

Chu Xia said, "Then I can bring the puppies to grandpa's house later, and then your aunt can see Huangzi and Heizi."

Yang Mei was very happy when she heard it: "When you bring them over, let Da Zi tell me."

As they were talking, their aunt's granddaughter Zhang Lu ran over and stood in front of Cen Huaian and Chu Xia, looking at them with a pair of very smart eyes.

"Cousin, can I play with An An?"

She just wanted to come and play with An An. She felt that An An looked cleaner and smarter than her cousin Jiang Weixian, and he didn't cry easily. It would be more interesting to take him out to play than to take her cousin out.

Chu Xia had a smile on her face, and she said at her level, "Then you have to ask An An." Zhang

Lu immediately looked at Cen Huaian, "Brother An An, come and play with me. I know there's an interesting place in my great-grandfather's house."

Cen Huaian was still hesitating, but Zhang Lu had already grabbed his hand, pulled him out and said, "Let's go." Chu Xia

looked at him with a smile and didn't stop him. Cen Huaian looked at her mother, and was a little curious about the place Zhang Lu was talking about, so he was pulled out.

Jiang Weixian was a few months younger than Cen Huaian. Seeing that the two were going out, he stopped playing in the living room and immediately ran over to catch up: "Sister, take me, take me!"

The three children ran outside.

Zhang Lu took them out of the door and walked to the right, and asked them to walk lightly, saying: "The fun place is behind, you follow me."

Cen Huaian couldn't help but follow and walk lightly. After walking a few steps, he saw all kinds of flowers and plants placed under the wall outside the house. He looked at them curiously and found that the leaves and flowers of some flowers and plants were plucked off and thrown into the flowerpot.

Cen Huaian couldn't help but frown, thinking of the five things to be said and the four beauties that the teacher said, one of which was to take care of flowers, plants and trees and not to harm them casually.

Zhang Lu turned her head and noticed Cen Huaian's gaze. She was curious about what he was looking at, so she followed his line of sight and instantly saw the flowers and plants that had lost their leaves and flowers.

Her eyes widened and she immediately shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa! It's broken! Your treasure is broken!"

"What?"

Hearing Zhang Lu's shouting, Grandpa Jiang and a group of people all came out. He saw at a glance that his precious flowers and plants had been destroyed.

It was not like this when he watered the flowers in the morning. When Chuxia and An'an came over, his flowers were also growing luxuriantly.

Without thinking, Grandpa Chiang immediately picked up his cane and hit Jiang Zhida: "You unfilial grandson! How come your hands are so nasty! Is it easy for me to take care of these flowers and plants?"

Jiang Zhida was terrified and ran away: "Grandpa, Grandpa, calm down, I was wrong! Ah!"

Jiang's first uncle and second uncle followed behind and persuaded: "Dad, slow down, don't chase him, I will teach him a lesson for you."

Yang Mei also persuaded him and shouted at Jiang Zhida to stop quickly. Second aunt frowned and looked at Jiang Zhida with some disgust in her eyes.

The whole yard was in chaos.

Chu Xia and Cen Huaian were stunned at first, then they stood far away to avoid being implicated.

Zhang Lu whispered to Cen Huaian, "My uncle is often chased and beaten like this. You get used to it after seeing it so many times." It was

not until Aunt Li, the nanny who took care of Grandpa Jiang, called for dinner that the scene of chasing and beating ended.

Jiang Zhida didn't dare to come back and shouted outside the house: "Grandpa, I'll go buy you a few more pots of flowers. Don't be angry, let me in to eat. I'm really very hungry. Grandpa, please have pity on me, I've been busy since early morning."

Yang Mei had seen her son like this many times and was no longer angry. She raised her voice and shouted inside: "Don't shout outside, come in and admit your mistake!"

Although Grandpa Chiang was old, his voice was very loud: "Don't shout, you bastard, hurry in and eat!"

"Oh!" Jiang Zhida responded loudly, knowing that the matter was over and grandpa would not blame him anymore, he quickly ran in and sat down.

He looked at Grandpa Jiang and laughed, and said flatteringly: "Grandpa, you are the best. What

kind of flowers do you want? Do you want to pick them yourself or do you want me to buy them for you?" Grandpa Jiang unceremoniously named several kinds of flowers: "Buy them and send them to me."

Even if there were new flowers and plants, Grandpa Jiang was still heartbroken when he thought of his own flowers and plants that were harmed.

After dinner, Uncle Jiang and his family all went to work. Before leaving, Yang Mei told Chu Xia that she could go to her house to play when she was free, and said that her daughter-in-law Luo Peng had a good personality and they were of similar age and could make friends.

"Luo Peng grew up in the capital. She is familiar with everywhere in the capital. If you need anything, you can ask her directly. Although my youngest son is jumpy and useless, he is a good errand boy. You can ask him directly if you have something to do."

"Thank you, aunt."

After everyone left, only Jiang Zhida was still there. Chuxia and Anan were about to say goodbye, but Grandpa Jiang said, "Wait a moment. I have found several schools for Anan. You can come and have a look and choose one for him to transfer to."

Chuxia had actually been thinking about this, because now was the school time and Anan couldn't stay at home all the time.

"This school is the best elementary school in Beijing, but it's a little far from where you are. This elementary school is less famous than it, it's closer to where I am, but also far from your home..."

Grandpa Jiang introduced several schools, and Chuxia pointed to an experimental elementary school that was closest to her home: "Grandpa, I want to go to this school to have a look." Grandpa

Jiang was not surprised by her choice, because the experimental elementary school was also a good elementary school in Beijing, but it was not as famous as the first two he mentioned, and most importantly, it was close to Chuxia and Anan's home.

This is naturally a consideration when choosing a school. After all, Anan is not very old now, and the first thing to choose is convenience when going back and forth to school.

Grandpa Jiang also thought of this school at the beginning, but he couldn't make a decision for Chuxia, what if Chuxia wanted Anan to go to a better elementary school.

"Okay, Da Zi, you will take Chu Xia and An An to the experimental primary school today to ask transfer students how to get in, and solve An An's enrollment problem as soon as possible."

If he can enter the elementary school through conventional methods, then Grandpa Jiang will not interfere anymore. If not, he will talk about other things.

Dazi drove Chu Xia and An An to the Experimental Primary School. The Academic Affairs Office heard that they were coming to school. He looked up at Chu Xia and then at Cen Huai'an, and asked them why they came to sign up now.

Chuxia explained: "My husband has been transferred to Beijing for work, so the child has to move with him."

The director looked at Cen Huaian, and the younger he seemed, he frowned and asked: "Is your child seven years old?"

It was clear from the household registration that Cen Huaian was less than seven years old. Chuxia looked embarrassed: "Can't he go to school if he is not seven years old? Can we let him take the exam?"

The director said in a businesslike manner: "He must be seven years old according to the requirements."

Of course, there are students under seven years old in the school. Some parents want to send their children earlier, and they can always find ways to send them in.

Chuxia frowned, and she and Dazi took Cen Huaian out.

"An An is not yet seven years old. But he is about to finish preschool. He is smarter than other children and is not suitable for him to stay at home."

Jiang Zhida knew that this was not difficult. Experimental Primary School was not without other exceptions. There were many children who were not old enough to go to school. He said to Chu Xia, "Don't worry, cousin. I will go home and talk to my grandfather. Don't worry, there will be a way to send An An to school."

Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she also understood that since Cen Zhengnian asked them to come, there would be a way to solve An An's schooling problem.

As for why they had to wait until she came to ask the school, it was probably because they wanted to hear her thoughts on the choice of school.

Grandpa Jiang and Cen Zhengnian did think so.

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Zhida sent Chuxia and An'an home. An'an spoke at this time, with a wrinkled face, and asked: "Mom, can't I go to school?"

"Yes." Chuxia said without any hesitation: "Mom and Dad will not let you go without school. It should be fine in two days. It's just right for you to stay at home and get familiar with the environment near our home during these two days."

Chuxia was not very worried. Although she was worried about this, she studied and devoted herself to her studies.

In the afternoon, Chuxia took An'an out for a walk, bought some vegetables and came back. She saw many people talking outside in the alley.

Now she didn't know these people, but An An looked at them all curiously. She went home and said to Chu Xia, "Mom, those people outside were just looking at us."

Chu Xia cut vegetables and said, "Because we just moved here, they are curious about us. Go and wash the potatoes for me."

Chu Xia made braised pork ribs with potato cubes for dinner. She and An An were eating when they suddenly heard the door outside.

The two puppies immediately rushed out and barked at the door, leading the surrounding dogs to bark as well.

Chu Xia was startled, put down her chopsticks and walked out of the living room. She found a wooden stick in the yard and slowly walked towards the door.

Who knew that she had just taken a few steps when she saw Cen Zhengnian coming out from behind the screen wall. Chu Xia heard Cen Zhengnian calling her outside the door.

She heaved a sigh of relief, threw the stick aside, walked to the front door and opened it.

Cen Zhengnian pushed the car in, Chuxia closed and locked the door, turned around and asked him in confusion: "Why did you come back at this time? Will the unit give you leave now?"

The two puppies recognized Cen Zhengnian. They were already familiar with his smell yesterday, so they stopped barking and circled around him and Chuxia, wagging their tails.

Cen Zhengnian walked into the yard and saw the wooden stick thrown aside. His heart ached. He held her hand tightly and said: "I thought about you going to see your grandfather today, and I was worried about you and An An. I told the teacher and went home early."

Originally, Cen Zhengnian didn't plan to come back at this time. He usually didn't get back to the dormitory until after ten or eleven o'clock in the evening, and he couldn't see anything on the way home at that time.

Moreover, it takes him an hour to ride his bike from the research institute to his home. When he gets home, it is already midnight, which is not suitable for him to come back.

So he can only ask for leave in advance, which also delays his work.

But ever since he heard what his grandfather said, he couldn't rest assured after work. He

was afraid that Chuxia would not adapt to her grandfather's house, that she would not like his relatives, and that she would be unhappy that he did not come back to accompany her.

"Isn't your teacher angry that you come back so often?" Chuxia asked him as she walked to the living room with him.

Cen Zhengnian smiled and said, "I can't be angry. If I don't come back, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I promised the teacher that I would go there early tomorrow morning. He is not angry." Yan Hemin

even criticized Cen Zhengnian after hearing the reason for going home: "Your wife is going to meet your family for the first time. You actually endured such a serious matter for a whole day? You should immediately ask for leave to go home and accompany her. You can stay up late to make up for it after work. Normally, we are sorry for our family. If there is an emergency, we must go back to help our wife!"

Cen Zhengnian didn't explain anything, just whispered: "Teacher, I know." Yan Hemin

approved his leave and urged him: "Hurry up, hurry up, and remember to arrive early tomorrow morning."

Cen Zhengnian didn't tell Chuxia about this, but Chuxia could tell from his expression that his teacher didn't care about him going home.

Chuxia relaxed and was about to ask Cen Zhengnian if he had eaten, when Cen Huaian heard the voice and ran out of the living room.

"Dad!" Cen Huaian shouted in surprise, rushing over like a small cannonball. Cen Zhengnian picked him up and said, "It's me."

"Dad, can you go home every day?"

Cen Zhengnian met Cen Huaian's hopeful eyes and wanted to satisfy his idea, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"I'm sorry An'an, Dad can only try to go home more often, but I may not be able to go home every day."

Cen Huaian was disappointed for a moment, but soon became happy again: "That's fine."

It would be great to see Dad often. He hadn't seen Dad for a long time before, and didn't even know what Dad looked like.

Cen Zhengnian didn't have dinner. Fortunately, Chuxia had steamed some new steamed buns today. There were plenty of buns and enough vegetables, but there was too much porridge. After all, there were two puppies.

Cen Zhengnian was also hungry. He hadn't eaten for the whole afternoon and had ridden for so long. But even though he was very hungry, he didn't eat like a wolf. He just ate quickly and his movements were still elegant.

"Are you getting used to going to grandpa's house today?" Cen Zhengnian was eating, looking at Chu Xia with an apologetic look, "I didn't expect grandpa would be so anxious and not accompany you."

Chu Xia took a piece of potato and ate it and said, "I'm getting used to it. Grandpa is a very nice person, and my uncle and aunt are nice too, and the other peers are all very polite. An An and I didn't feel uncomfortable at grandpa's house. By the way, I also received a red envelope, right An An?"

"Yeah." An An looked up from the bowl of porridge, nodded heavily and said, "A lot of money."

The elders older than An An all gave him money, and of course Chu Xia also gave red envelopes to Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian. They are her juniors, and it's her responsibility to give them.

The Jiang family is very generous, including the second aunt who has always been cold to Chuxia and An'an. She is not wrong in terms of etiquette, but she just doesn't like to pay attention to her.

Not only Chuxia, but the second aunt in the entire Jiang family dislikes many people, and there is always a sense of arrogance in her eyes.

However, she doesn't talk much and won't say those words of dislike, so Chuxia pretends not to see her eyes.

But the second aunt is really beautiful, and Chuxia also said so to Cen Zhengnian.

Hearing this, Cen Zhengnian couldn't help but chuckled: "You noticed these when you went to my grandpa's house?"

Chu Xia nodded as a matter of course: "Then what else should I pay attention to? I think your family has a good temperament."

Cen Zhengnian picked up a piece of meat for her and said: "I didn't care about this. But I have heard people praise our family's appearance before."

Cen Huaian noticed Cen Zhengnian's actions, took the bowl and said: "Dad, I want some too."

Cen Zhengnian smiled and picked up a piece of meat for him. Cen Huaian's mouth curled up with satisfaction.

What Cen Zhengnian said was a long time ago. Later, when the Jiang family was in bad condition, those voices disappeared. Later, when it was better, Cen Zhengnian was not in the capital, and I don't know if anyone talked about it again.

Cen Zhengnian and his brother have also been praised since childhood. He himself does not care much about appearance. It is only external. He pays more attention to the spiritual world.

"I think my aunt's temperament is not like ordinary people, and neither is my uncle."

Cen Zhengnian said: "My uncle works in the Ministry of Education. He used to teach, so he may be more serious. My aunt is now in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my second uncle is in the Ministry of Culture, and my second aunt teaches at the university..."

He told Chuxia about some of the situations at home. Originally, these should have been said before the visit. But Cen Zhengnian didn't have time to talk about it today. He thought he would talk about it when he accompanied Chuxia to her grandfather's house.

Unexpectedly, Chuxia and An'an went there today, so he could only catch up now.

After listening to this, Chuxia nodded and said, "No wonder, I feel like they are not like ordinary people."

Especially the second aunt, her temperament and appearance are not raised in an ordinary family, but Chuxia did not ask too much. Those who used to have a good family background did not live well in the past few years.

Even if they did not encounter anything, they were still trembling and lived very carefully.

"By the way, Da Zi took me and An An to the experimental primary school today. They said that they would only accept children when they are seven years old."
