Now, Chen Xian's family felt a little regretful about coming to this family reunion—what kind of reunion, it was obviously a meeting of trial, questioning, sarcasm and taunting against their family!

Why bother?

Originally, Chen Xiulan wanted to go to the east room to comfort Jiang Ruying and the others, but she was enthusiastically dragged to the west room by other women and relatives. The room was full of old ladies, daughter-in-laws and girls, chatting in full swing.But in the room where Jiang Ruying's family lived, it was deserted, and everyone was frowning.

Seeing this, Hao Jinfeng, the host, couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and secretly resented: "I have provoked someone, and those who spend money and get busy, why don't you give me some face?"

Thinking of this, she stomped her feet to the house - someone must accompany the angered Third Uncle's family.

The table of men in the living room is still drinking.

Gradually, after drinking for three rounds, the conversation became more and more intense, and everyone lost the embarrassment before, and Chen Shunhe greeted them very enthusiastically, and the group of old men still had a good time drinking.

However, in the room where a group of women gathered, discordant voices soon came out:

"Heh, now you know you miss these relatives? Why did you go so early?"

"I'm retired, I don't have much power anymore, and no one in the city treats him like a tofu dish, so I know it's better to be relatives in my hometown... Do you really treat everyone like a fool?"

"At the beginning, he looked down on people and liked to ignore him, but who among our relatives counts on him? Aren't they all living well..."

"Look at that girl's vibes, she seems to be a Seventh Fairy, she is very capable. I think, if it wasn't for the money her father embezzled, she could afford a car? If it wasn't for Xiuyun and Chengzi, they don't care about it. Can she go to work in Xiuyun's family's company? Xiuyun and you guys are going too far, just pay her a salary, let her be the leader of the company, and let her buy some shares. There are so many relatives in our family. Why didn't I hear you two greet each other. Don't even think about it. At the beginning, Chengzi was a soldier who recovered, but he had military merits. If her father was willing to extend his hand, Chengzi would definitely be the head of the Public Security Bureau now. Didn't the third uncle just start from He became an official only when he came back from another job in the army.”

"Hey, it's a good thing he didn't help. Now what is Chengzi, the real big boss, a millionaire, a multi-millionaire, he won't change for the two police chiefs."

"Hey, I heard that Chen Yufang has been divorced for several years."

"Can we not get a divorce? Whoever marries her so savage, and then meets such a pair of in-laws, whose family will be unlucky and regret it, leave early and relax..."

……

One sentence pierced the hearts of Chen Xian and his family like a needle.

However, Chen Xian looked as usual, chatting with his cousins ​​Chen Hui and Chen Qing, who were sitting next to him, about old age with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard those words.

Hao Jinfeng, who was chatting with Jiang Ruying's family in the east room, came out with a frown, and hurried to the west room—is it endless or something?

Su Cheng and Chen Shunhe also showed displeasure on their faces.

Chen Hui, who is 71 years old this year, sighed, and said, "Xian, don't take it to heart... If women like to nag, let them nag."

"Well, it's okay." Chen Xian shook his head lightly.

Chen Qing, the cousin on his right hand side, drooped his eyelids, and said with the strength of wine: "Brother Xian, it's no wonder they are nagging. I'm sorry about the family, so I won't mention it. Let's just say that you became an official later, and the family didn't really hate you, but for so many years, have you helped the family? Nothing. The children go to you Happy New Year, you are always showing off to a bunch of kids, it's outrageous."

"En." Chen Xian nodded, without any sign of anger, he stood up with a glass of wine, his expression was full of apology, and said sincerely: "I remember the year when I just came back from the army, I went to the family's ancestral grave I kowtowed, apologized, and held a special banquet at home to invite everyone... Later, because of busy work, personality and other reasons, I didn't do anything for these people in the family, and I didn't take care of everyone. Now that I'm retired, I can't help if I try to do my best. I'm here to apologize to everyone. I'm also in my 60s. I hope that the relatives in my family and my relatives can forgive me for being deposed. The loess buried half of the old man."

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, took two steps back, and bowed seriously.

Then, except for the east room where his own family members lived, Chen Xian bowed towards every room, regardless of whether the people inside were old, young, male or female!

Everyone was stunned.

No one would have thought that Chen Xian, as an elder, would make such a move.

However, they would never have thought that Chen Xian bowed to apologize, the apology in his heart was not to all of them, but to the family members who were sorry when he was young and frivolous, as well as the deceased elders, apologizing !

And, deeply repent.

He didn't have much resentment in his heart, he was just thinking that the verbal sarcasm suffered by these juniors today was just the retribution he deserved - everyone should be responsible for what they have done.Even if time flies by like a shuttle and decades pass by, but it is wrong, it is still wrong after all.

Three years ago, Chen Xian was strongly intimidated by Su Chunfeng, who was only 14 years old, and he listened to his admonition and reminder, and decisively chose to take a step back.

After An Ran retired, Chen Xianfu had a lot of reflections at home. He often recalled the past and thought of the hexagrams that the worldly expert made for him, and devoted himself to learning the principles of Yi Xue. He has a good understanding of the mysterious Feng Shui and is deeply influenced by Yi Li.

Today, he doesn't have much luxury.

I only hope that when I get old in the future, I can return to my hometown and bury my bones in the grave of my ancestors.

However, he neglected the most important point...

When the relatives of the same generation gradually passed away, and only two cousins ​​were left, Chen Xian, who was already alienated from the family, coupled with his indifference, almost made the family members have no sense of family affection. In other words, most people will not be moved or even shed tears by his behavior as he imagined and hoped.

They will be moved, a little soft-hearted, and a little sorry.

But this is not a romance movie or TV series, nor a novel about romance and family ethics...

This is reality.

It's because Chen Xian is facing a group of country thugs and shrews who may be simple and honest, or may have small peasants' treacherous, cunning and narrow-mindedness. , a little too much, embarrassing, and embarrassing - because they really don't know, what should they do when they encounter this situation?

What's more, there will be a feeling of great pride and pride: look, this old guy who used to be high above and refused to show favors to us, now bows to us and apologizes to us!

"Third Uncle, the matter is over, what are you doing?" Chen Shunhe got up first with red eyes and strode over, helping Chen Xian to sit back at the table.

"Xian, don't be like this..." Chen Hui wiped his tears, thinking of the bitter past.

"Brother Xian, sit down." Chen Qingzui waved his hands in a dazed way, and said with a wry smile, "If you do this, the juniors will behave in the future. If word spreads, the villagers will have to poke their backs every day. Are you making fun of our old Chen family? Oh, the whole family forced the third uncle of the old Chen family to bow to them?"

This sentence obviously has a tone of complaint.

Then, between the wine table and Siri, someone chimed in: "Oh, what are you doing? This is it, sit down and talk, what are you singing, it makes people's teeth sore."

"Okay, third uncle, no one has to make things difficult for you."

"Don't rely on the old to sell the old here, okay?"

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, then sat down with a wry smile—obviously, he has been in the political arena all his life, and he was once known as the tumbler in Pingyang's political arena. Behavior like this... I really can't get anything good.

But people's hearts are long.

As an elder, an old man, if he acts like this and says that, no matter where he puts it, he can touch the hearts of the servants.

Therefore, the gentlemen at the wine table and the women in the Dongli room couldn't say anything harsh for a while.

However, as Chen Shunhe kindly brought up the topic of the prosperity of the old Chen family over the years, he wanted to use this to make the family atmosphere more harmonious, so that everyone can truly accept the third uncle... After discussing the meaning of this big family The topic began to spread, and gradually, under the malicious guidance of some people, they began to complain about Chen Xian.

Moreover, the complaints seem to be justified.

"Since Uncle San has such an attitude today, let's talk about it as a family, right? In fact, you never regarded us as your own family before."

"That's right, there is an official from someone else's family, and anyone who doesn't just pull on his relatives can have something to do."

"We begged you to do something, but we never did, alas."

A few women also came out from Xili Room, and began to complain and accuse one after another, and the children also came out to watch the excitement... Gradually, the whole family gathered in the living room.

Chen Yufang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She and her brother wanted to go out to argue, but they were grabbed by their mother and sister-in-law and closed the door of the east room.

Chen Shun and his wife also showed bitterness and regret for a while, they should not take the lead in organizing this family reunion.

As the hosts, they couldn't get in the way, and they couldn't forcefully stop them—after all, there were elders here, and they were all members of the same family, so it was hard to cause public anger.Besides, the third uncle bowed and apologized, and his attitude made it clear that everyone was allowed to talk about his past mistakes. After complaining, maybe everyone can kiss in the future?

Chen Xiulan walked to her husband with a sad expression on her face.

Su Chunfeng, who was sitting across from him, saw his father's expression, and knew that his father was about to bear it.
