Chen Guoqiang looked a little unnatural: "It's your uncle Jianfeng's family. Didn't the eldest son of his family get married last year? I even went to have a wedding banquet."
“His daughter-in-law just gave birth to a son this month, and she is hosting a banquet for the twelfth day of the month, and she invited me over for a banquet. By the way, your cousin also invited you to join us for a banquet.”
This so-called cousin Chen Chuta Jianfeng, whose real name is Chen Jianfeng, has several large-scale factories in his family.
It's just that the factory is located in the next town, and I don't have much contact with relatives here, let alone the distant relatives of Chen Chu's family who are only nominally cousins.
Because he made some money, his family always had a somewhat arrogant and indifferent attitude.
This Chen Chu and his uncle Jianfeng are not that exaggerated. After all, they all came from poor people, and the aloof temperament on their bodies is not that strong.
But his children…
It happened to be a big happy event for his family. The eldest son of his family was getting married. Guests at the banquet were also invited, including him, a "relative" who never moved around.
The scene that time was also something he would never forget. Many guests present were dressed in luxurious clothes and behaved generously and calmly.
But no one looked at him, and no one was willing to talk to him. They were all big bosses or powerful local people.
Even the host almost ignored him when they were toasting...
Even when the bride and groom made up for the toast at the end, their attitude was very cold, not at all the same as facing relatives and elders.
Just the kind of face that says, “I’ve come here to toast you and I already think highly of you.”
Really, rich people generally know how to deal with the world, and even if they look down upon them, they won’t show it on their faces.
But how big of a bird have we not seen in the forest? How many hangings has Chen Guoqiang seen over the past few decades?
Some people are like this, they have to be stabbed, and then they say: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Obviously, the children of Chen Chu’s uncle Jianfeng had this hanging sample.
That uncle Jianfeng is not a good person either. To say that he didn't know about it would be too partial to him.
Anyway, after returning that time, Chen Guoqiang looked as usual, but he had already been holding back a lot of anger in his heart.
Being so humiliated and looked down upon by others, even an honest person should get angry!
At that moment, he felt that he was so shameless, because his life was sober, and he did not make any big promises of thirty years in the east and west of the river.
However, his impression of that family also dropped to the freezing point.
ˆ˜
Chen Chu asked doubtfully: "Uncle Jianfeng? Who is it?"
Chen Guoqiang said: "You probably don't know a distant relative."
Chen Chu nodded: "He also invited me?"
Chen Guoqiang said: "Your cousin invites you to go. If you want to go, just go with us."
Chen Chu seemed to realize that his father was not in a normal mood, so he used his senses to sense him.
Suddenly, Chen Chu couldn't help but frown. He could feel his father's bad mood.
“Dad, why do you seem unhappy?” Chen Chu asked.
Chen Guoqiang didn't hide anything. As his son got older, it was time for him to know some things.
Especially now that my son has great abilities, so as not to accidentally be deceived into helping some people with whom he has a bad relationship.
That would be really uncomfortable and disgusting.
You looked down on me before, but now that I am no longer what I used to be, you just want to have a relationship with me. How can such a good thing happen?
Chen Guoqiang told Chen Chu everything, including the details of how he had been looked down upon before.
Chen Chu couldn't help but frown and said, "Dad, what are we going to do? Why don't we just turn down the invitation to the banquet? Don't have any contact with their family in the future."
Chen Guoqiang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not as easy as you said? If you don't go, others will break your spine."
Look, this is why Chen Chu is too lazy to socialize with some people. It’s not that he doesn’t like to socialize, but it’s just that when he interacts with certain people, he does too much **** and it’s too bad.
He would rather socialize with some bosses and young men who are not related by blood at all. At least their flattery is really nice.
The so-called "loyal words that are unpleasant to the ears" between relatives are all words meant to ridicule you.
If he really does it for your own good, he will not say it directly at all, but will tell you tactfully in private, and will not even say anything to embarrass you.
He will consider your feelings unless you are really close and close enough to say something too harsh without hurting your feelings.
Chen Chu was a little bored, so he said, "Dad, just look at the arrangements. If you need me, just tell me."
He hates socializing, but he cares more about his family's opinions. If going by himself can make his father happy, then why not do it?
Besides...they embarrassed dad before, right?
His father has been wronged outside, and as a son, he has the ability to stand up for his father. If this does not bring back face for his father, then can he be qualified as a son?
Chen Guoqiang nodded, frowned and went back to the room: "Then you go have breakfast first. I will go back and discuss this matter with your mother."
At Chen Chu’s family, there is no such thing as a parent who is in charge. Whenever anything happens, his father and mother discuss it together.
When Chen Chu finished eating, the result of the discussion between his parents came out: go, Chen Chu will go together.
Chen Chu did not refuse, or in other words, he already wished for it.
ˆ˜
Going to a banquet will be a matter of the day after tomorrow. I still have free time today to have fun.
So Chen Chu went to find Wang Hai and Zhao Kewei.
Wang Hai’s home was not far away, in the next neighborhood. Chen Chu went to find Wang Hai first.
His parents both work in the system. Wang Hai’s father works in the electric power system and Wang Hai’s mother is the vice principal.
Today happens to be a double weekend, and it is already summer vacation. Wang Hai’s parents are both at home.
Faced with Chen Chu's sudden visit, Wang Hai's parents behaved very warmly and cordially.
All kinds of high-end fruit snacks and drinks that you have at home are being moved out.
Seeing Wang Hai's eyes twitching, he said dumbfounded: "Mom and Dad, when did we have so many snacks at home? Why didn't I know?"
“And these drinks!”
He knew that there was fruit at home, but so many high-end snacks and drinks...he had never seen them before.
Mama Wang teaches all year round and has a special teacher temperament, plus she is the vice principal.
She mainly looked at Wang Hai, who was as well-behaved as a primary school student.
“Ahem, what I meant was why you didn’t take it out earlier so that I could give some to Chen Chu.”
Wang Ma glanced at Wang Hai, and then enthusiastically gave Chen Chu fruits, drinks and snacks that she didn't seem to intend for him to eat.
I guess I was worried that eating these things would be bad for my health, so I just took them out to show off.
Chen Chu's hands were full and he could only pick it up and eat, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
“When Ah Chu comes here, it’s like going back home. Don’t be restrained. You can take whatever you want to eat.” Dad Wang said with a smile.
Chen Chu was really not polite to him. He brought the snacks and drinks in front of him and unceremoniously opened them to eat.
By the way, I also threw some to Wang Hai.
