Even though he had been mentally prepared long ago, when Tang Zhong walked into the gate of Jiang's small courtyard, he still felt very uncomfortable when he saw hostility, contempt, or ridicule in his eyes, but lack of kindness and joy.

"I'm just here for a meal. I owe you money to these idiots? Looking at me with such eyes?" Tang Zhong scolded in his heart.

Strictly speaking, today is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Jiang, and all the guests who can come to this small courtyard are the immediate family members of the Jiang family, and there is no outsider.Those sitting there were either Tang Zhong's uncle or his cousins, all of them were his relatives - but it was obvious that no one regarded Tang Zhong as relatives.

Even a beggar, with their status at this moment, would sincerely or pretend to smile.

The first time Tang Zhong came to the door, they were all sitting together, watching coldly, no one came forward to greet him, as if he was a transparent person who was hated by others.

Jiang Keqing's complexion changed drastically, she gritted her silver teeth tightly, as if she was choosing someone to eat.

Jiang Keren remained calm, took Tang Zhong's hand and walked up to a powerful middle-aged man, and said, "Tang Zhong, this is your uncle."

"Uncle." Tang Zhong called out.

"Yeah." Jiang Kesheng replied blankly, his eyes turned skyward, and he didn't even look at Tang Zhong.

Jiang Keren took Tang Zhong's hand again and walked to a middle-aged man with pale face and sunken eye sockets as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol, and said, "Tang Zhong, this is your second uncle."

"Second uncle." Tang Zhong shouted.

"Yo - isn't this who? The son of the Orion family? Why did you come here? Did you go to the wrong door?" Jiang Keshu looked Tang Zhong up and down, but the sneer on his face did not hide at all .After finishing speaking, he laughed together with a young man beside him.

"—" Tang Zhong's heart soared with hostility, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Jiang Keren seemed to feel his emotions, reached out to hold Tang Zhong's hand, pulled him to a middle-aged man who looked young and well-maintained, and said, "Tang Zhong, this is your third uncle. "

"Just come back." Jiang Keqi smiled at Tang Zhong, then lowered his head to study the withered and yellow "Book of Changes" in his hand.

He has no hostility towards Tang Zhong, because all his mind is attracted by the book in his hand, and external affairs are meaningless to him.

The so-called uncle is naturally the mother's elder brother.Even my mother's elder brother treated him with such a hostile attitude, not to mention the ugly faces of other people.

However, as if Jiang Keren wanted to torture and humiliate his son deliberately, he still persisted, stubbornly, and led him to every elder and introduced him to him with a serious face.

"Tang Zhong, this is fifth uncle. He is the eldest son of your second master."

"Fifth uncle."

"Tang Zhong, this is Fifth Aunt—"

"Auntie."

"Tang Zhong, this is my uncle. He is the eldest son of your third master."

"Uncle."

"This is big cousin—"

"Big cousin."——

There are so many relatives in the Jiang family, it would take a long time to introduce them all.Sometimes it's just a sentence and it's over, and sometimes I have to listen to a few sarcastic remarks from the other party.Jiang Keren was expressionless, and Tang Zhong also became calm.

He already understood Jiang Keren's painstaking efforts.

"This is my sixth cousin." Jiang Keren pointed to a familiar face and said.

"We have met." Tang Zhong said with a smile. "Jiang Yiran, right? You said you expected me to come back earlier."

Jiang Yiran said with a smile: "Yes, yes. I have been looking forward to your return. You are finally back now. I am very happy. I have to go to celebrate tonight."

"Really? If you want to celebrate, remember to call me." Tang Zhong also said happily.

"Definitely." Jiang Yiran nodded with a strange expression.

When Tang Zhong walked past her, the smile in her eyes became cold.

After all the people in the living room had finally been introduced, Jiang Keren took Tang Zhong's hand and said, "I'll take you to see grandpa and grandma."

close <ad>

Tang Zhong's grandfather, Jiang Keren's father, Jiang Liren, was drinking tea and chatting with a group of brothers and sisters who were not much different in age. This small apartment was smaller, but quieter.

When Jiang Liren saw the handsome young man walking in surrounded by Jiang Keren and Jiang Keqing, he immediately knew his identity.

He fixedly looked at Tang Zhong, but there was no expression on his dark face.

On the other hand, grandma's eyes turned red immediately when she saw Tang Zhong. She sat up from the sofa, trotted to Tang Zhong, then stretched out her arms and hugged Tang Zhong's body, crying, "My child, My child—you are back at last. Grandma sees you at last—”

The old lady cried, and Jiang Keren cried too.Jiang Keqing also had red eyes, and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is Tang Zhong's first visit, so don't scare him—"

"How can I scare him." Grandma's stature is very short, her head can only reach Tang Zhong's chest.Therefore, when she hugged Tang Zhong, she buried her head in Tang Zhong's chest.She wiped Tang's newly changed clothes with tears, and said in a choked voice, "I just miss him so much. He was only that big when he was sent out, about the size of a piglet. I've only hugged him in total. So many times—how many years has it been? It makes me want to die."

"Okay, okay." Mr. Jiang Liren stood up and pulled his wife aside, and said, "Speak well. Today is a day of great joy, what does it sound like to cry?"

The old lady also knew that today was the old man's [-]th birthday, and everyone felt a little bit taboo.So while wiping her tears, she took Tang Zhong's hand and said, "My dear grandson, come and sit with grandma. Let grandma take a good look."

"Mom, let Tang Zhong say hello to the elder first." Jiang Keren was also busy wiping away tears, and said to the old lady aloud.

"That's right. Say hello to your grandpa nainai first." The old lady said.

So, under the leadership of Jiang Keren, Tang Zhong greeted his grandfather Jiang Liren's two younger brothers and three younger sisters.Like Jiang Liren, they were all gray-haired old men.Even the youngest girl is over 50 years old.

These old people are quite wealthy, but they did not speak coldly to Tang Zhong.The three old nainai also took Tang Zhong's words and said a few words of comfort and compassion.

After greeting everyone, Jiang Keren dragged Tang Zhong to sit beside her grandmother.One of Tang Zhong's hands was held in Jiang Keren's hand, and he had hardly let go since she grabbed it, and his other hand was held by his grandmother.

This reminded Tang Zhong of Qiu Yihan.Qiu Yihan also has a grandmother who loves her to the core.Although she doesn't know human affairs because of excessive pampering, can this be said to be her misfortune?

Tang Zhong suddenly found that what he had always insisted on was shaking.

Because, the hands of relatives are really warm and warm, which makes the strength and stubbornness in his heart disintegrate and surrender in an instant.

Jiang Liren looked at Tang Zhong, with no expression on his face and no emotion in his voice, and asked, "When will you come to Beijing?"

"Last night." Tang Zhong replied.

"Have you seen all the uncles and uncles outside?"

"I have seen."

"They don't like Tang Zhong very much." Jiang Keqing interrupted suddenly.

As a result, Jiang Liren frowned slightly.

"The hole is here." Tang Zhong thought in his heart.

Jiang Keren took Tang Zhong to say hello to all the elders.Enough etiquette, but also enough ridicule.

However, they still persisted.

Now, Jiang Keqing broke the matter with a look of grief and indignation, which would be slapping all the elders outside in front of those in the room.

If Tang Zhong gave up halfway just now, they would naturally have something to say: He is a junior, so naturally he should come to say hello to us.He ignores us, why should we flatter him?

However, Tang Zhong took the initiative to say hello to them, but they ignored them and had a bad attitude, so they couldn't take it anymore.

Now that it's all right, when will I wait if I don't slap my face at this time?

Even if a child can do this, you adults have eaten so many years of food and lived in the stomach of a dog?

Tang Zhong suspected that the sisters Jiang Keren and Jiang Keqing had predicted the reaction of these people long ago, and discussed the countermeasures in advance.

"They are elders. Criticism is also teaching. Tang Zhong should not take it to heart." Jiang Liren said.

This sentence is actually an irony. On the surface, it means to tell Tang Zhong not to have the same knowledge as the elders. In fact, what he really wants to say is that a group of elders embarrass a child, which is really embarrassing.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Liren's words, the second master Jiang Liwen said in a hoarse voice: "These uneducated things, there are usually five people and six people, and they put plaster on the ancestors' faces at critical moments-how does the old man usually teach them? A All of them are completely forgotten.”

"That's right. Tang Zhong was invited back by the old man. How can he say too much? It seems that we have to beat him. We can't let them be lawless. Lost their tutors? Lost their face?" The third master Jiang Lixing also yelled.

"What they did was wrong. What's the point of fighting with a child? When that incident happened, Tang Zhong hadn't been born yet—but don't be angry with you guys. Children have childish ideas, and they don't care about the incident back then. The matter is also half-knowledgeable, and it is understandable to say a few radical words. This time, let's gather them together, and the misunderstanding will be resolved if the words are misunderstood?"

"Forget it." Jiang Liren said, waving his hand. "What's the big deal? Tang Zhong is a junior, shouldn't he be a little angry?"

What he said made the faces of those present even more embarrassing.

They all knew that this big brother of theirs was also suffocating in his heart.
