We all lie flat, you roll into a major general?

The auntie said, "I haven't seen you in half a year, and I lost a little weight again. Is it because I work too hard at ordinary times, so I have to eat more meat tonight!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard..." Chen Ming said with a smile.

The auntie stared at Chen Ming's face, and said reproachfully: "Sitting in an office is white and clean. My son came back not long ago, and he was tanned so badly!"

The aunt continued: "It goes without saying, Mingzi returned alone, I..."

Aunts and aunts greeted warmly, and Chen Ming responded with a smile.

But most of them are concerns about life, and he doesn't want to worry his elders, so he tries to talk about the good things.

The uncles who were chatting behind them all watched this scene with smiles.

If they were to ask questions, they would definitely ask some questions about work, and by the way, talk about the international situation, the economic situation and so on.

But now Chen Ming was completely surrounded by his aunts and aunts, so he couldn't get in if he talked too closely.

"Come on, Xiaoyue, come and call my brother."

Talking about my daughter who is about to take the college entrance examination in three years, my aunt waved her hand.

The cousins ​​who were originally playing games also put down their phones when they saw Chen Ming coming in.

Following Chen Yue's mother's voice, all the younger brothers and sisters gathered around.

One after another, "Brother Ming" came and went.

This group of juniors all looked at Chen Ming with adoring eyes.

Even the children in the village had heard about Chen Ming's deeds countless times, and they were even more influenced by their parents.

Especially the younger brothers and sisters who have already entered high school, they deeply realized how great their Brother Ming is.

In the past, when Chen Ming was in college during the winter and summer vacations, he was equivalent to a tutor.

They are also brothers and teachers, so they respect Chen Ming very much.

Facing the younger siblings embracing him, Chen Ming rubbed their heads with a smile, and asked about their studies.

Although he had made plans to go to the military camp, Chen Ming knew the importance of studying.

Not just the improvement of self-literacy, but the opportunity to have more choices.

If it wasn't someone else in a famous school, where would there be such a good internship opportunity in a big factory?

Even if he resigns now, with this degree here, there will always be a way out.

Take joining the army as an example, the recruitment age requirement is 18 to 20 years old.

However, the age limit for high school education can be relaxed to 21 years old, the age limit for junior college degree is 23 years old, and the age limit for undergraduate degree and above is 24 years old.

Chen Ming sincerely hoped that his younger siblings could read it.

While talking to my younger siblings, several grandparents came over.

The aunt smiled kindly and shouted: "It's time to eat, let's go to the table, if you have anything to say, talk to the table."

The juniors sat obediently in a row, and a few uncles were already serving the dishes.

Chen Ming originally wanted to sit next to his mother who was nearby.

The eldest uncle looked at Chen Ming with a very kind gaze: "Mingzi, come to Uncle Uncle's table."

Since the Chen family was a big clan, there were five grandfathers of Chen Ming, and his own grandfather was the third.

However, so many grandparents are very kind to him, but they don't distinguish between relatives and estrangements.

Due to the large number of people, there are three tables in total in the ancestral house. Roughly speaking, there is one table for juniors, one table for women, and one table for men.

Often men are drinking at that table.

Uncle Uncle meant that Chen Ming should sit at the head of the table.

Chen Ming insisted on speaking in terms of seniority, he should belong to the junior generation.

But he has a special status, so he naturally sits at the man's table with his father, uncle, uncle, and grandfather.

Moreover, the seat reserved for him by his uncle is still sitting in the first place with his great-grandfather.

Grandpa is the patriarch of the entire Chen family, sitting on the head with grandpa shows his status in the hearts of the Chen family.

"Mingzi, you are the face of our Chen family, so take the seat."

How can I bear this... Chen Ming deliberately shirked: "I'll sit next to my dad."

After saying this, several respected elders all looked over.

Chapter 9 The enthusiasm of relatives, looking for a partner!

"Why is this child so shy? He used to sit like this."

Facing Chen Ming's refusal, the elders were all cheerful.

In their view, this was Chen Ming's modesty.

This baby has given the family a big face since she was a child.

Chen Shusheng said with a smile, "Mingzi, sit beside Grandpa and talk with Grandpa."

"okay."

Even his great-grandfather moved out, so Chen Ming couldn't shirk it anymore.

Grandpa looked at Chen Ming energetically, his eyes were particularly bright and sharp.

Facing his great grandfather who always loved him, Chen Ming squeezed out a smile: "Great grandfather!"

Grandpa is 95 years old this year, which is considered a long life in the village.

The body is quite healthy, but there is a little inconvenience in legs and feet, but the mental state is quite good, and he does not suffer from dementia.

The meals are perfect, from big tonic soup to a tail of grilled fish.

Naturally, it also included the native chicken that Wei Chunmei killed for her son, which had been steamed, brought over and stewed with yams to make a thick soup, full of aroma.

And the three tables had this dish, but the table where Chen Ming was was put a little more chicken legs.

"Mingzi, eat this."

Grandpa still remembered that Chen Ming was a picky eater when he was a child, and he kept adding vegetables to Chen Ming.

Until Chen Ming's bowl of white rice was piled with all kinds of chicken wings, eel, and braised pork, his wrinkled face was still smiling.

Seeing grandparents and grandchildren in harmony, everyone was happy together, chatting about the latest interesting things.

This time, thanks to Chen Ming's early return, they had a chance to reunite happily.

Chen Ming kept saying thank you great-grandpa, this kind of treatment is only available to him.

Even the father of the next generation, and the rest of the juniors, have never been treated like this.

My great-grandfather was born early, and still retains the traditional concept that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

Chen Ming's academic performance was good since he was a child, so he was spoiled by his grandfather in every possible way.

My grandfather and my parents were also influenced by my grandfather, so I am very proud of Chen Ming who was admitted to a prestigious school and made a name for himself.

And similarly, this kind of atmosphere continues in the family compound, which fully encourages children who study well.

But due to the general environment and personal talent, only Chen Ming in this generation is outstanding and has attracted much attention.

It was not until being admitted to university that it became a great joy for the whole village. According to my great-grandfather, it was Wenqu Xing who came down to earth.

When he was young, Chen Ming was the favorite junior of all relatives and elders.

Every New Year, the amount of red envelopes Chen Ming received was much higher than that of his cousins.

For a long time, it has also established his detached position in the family.

Even every meal, according to the traditional rules, the oldest person should sit at the first place, and the younger person should sit at the bottom.

But he was the only one who was forced to sit in the first place with the oldest grandfather.

At first Chen Ming was a little embarrassed, but as time passed, he got used to it.

Of course, now he is not used to it anymore, some words can only be swirled in his stomach, and he eats silently with his head down.

At this moment, everyone at the table focused on Chen Ming.

Even the two tables of women and children next to him were eating with gusto while looking at him.

At their table, they started to move their chopsticks one after another after the grandfather started to pick up the dishes.

After the grandfather Chen Shuiqing picked up a piece of fish for Chen Ming, he smiled and asked Chen Ming, "Mingzi, are you still used to living outside?"

While eating, Chen Ming replied, "I'm quite used to it!"

"Hehe, good! Remember to exercise more, your body will be better able to adapt..."

After the grandfather spoke, everyone couldn't hold back.

They definitely don't need to worry about Chen Ming's work outside.

But their personal life, they are all curious.

They get married early in the countryside, and the cousins ​​who are not a few years younger than Chen Ming are talking about getting married.

Chen Ming even has junior high school classmates who are not in high school, and they are already raising their babies.

With Chen Ming's status in the Chen family, everyone was most concerned about Chen Ming's love life.

The uncle then asked: "Mingzi, have you been looking for someone outside, have you met a girl you like?"

Chen Ming shook his head and said, "Not yet, it's not urgent!"

The second aunt at the next table interjected, "Mingzi, why don't you find someone in the village?"

"When the time comes, you go to Pengcheng and take her with you, let her wash and cook for you, and when you come back from get off work every day, just wait and serve!"

When it comes to this matter, it is the domain of aunts.

In an instant, the aunts at the next table all looked over and chatted enthusiastically.

The aunt agreed: "That's right, Mingzi, I don't know how many girls in the village want to talk to you, but they are afraid that you have good eyesight!"

"If you spread the word and want to find a girlfriend, all the girls in the village who haven't talked about boyfriends will definitely come to you."

The third aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "Even if a girl has a boyfriend, she will probably be tempted. Who among the girl boyfriends in the village can compare to you."

What the third aunt said was true.

The boyfriends of many young girls in the village are almost all spirited guys. They work outside to save some money to buy a will-o'-the-wisp, and they run around in the village all day long.

And those girls can't help it, one is that the environment they are in is so big and their vision is limited, and the other is that their own conditions are here, and they are well-matched, so this matter is settled.

For Chen Ming, of course they were willing in every possible way. I don't know how many people had a crush on him in junior high school and high school.

It's a pity that Chen Ming has been home for a short time since he went to college, and basically has no contact with him.

But Chen Ming shook his head again for the kindness of the aunts.

"Forget it, I don't have that idea for now."

"If you really find it, then you must not be responsible to others?"

"I still put my career first, and wait until I meet a girl I really like!"

A few aunts still want to persuade, after all, at this age, Chen Ming is already 23 years old.

Getting married at this age in the village is considered late.

The third aunt said with a smile: "I know you have high vision. I know that there are some young female teachers in high schools in the county, and the conditions are very good."

"Career is important, but at least you have to think about it now, you can get in touch first!"

Chen Shusheng and Wei Chunmei didn't stop them either. They respected their son's decision, but they also hoped to have a grandson soon.

The second uncle rolled his eyes at the aunts and said, "Mingzi is looking for a girlfriend, he must be looking for a girl who lives in a big city."

"At least find someone who graduated from the same university. Those local girls in our village, do you think Mingzi will like you?"

"As far as I'm concerned, it's free love now, and Mingzi is a man of his own mind, so don't worry about it."

Chen Ming couldn't help laughing bitterly at what the second uncle said.

He thought to himself, he really hadn't thought about it that way.
