Everyone burst into laughter, the little girl's mother hurried over to take her away, and smiled awkwardly at Wen Jinian by the way.

Chang Xiaoru walked over with a smile and said, "Baby, don't mind, our children are used to being presumptuous. I'll ask his aunt to discipline her well. Come on, I'll show you who she is."

She pulled Wen Ji Nian familiarly and introduced everyone to him one by one.

"This is the eldest uncle, and this is the eldest aunt."

Wen Ji Nian called out politely, "Hello, Uncle, Hello, Aunt."

"Hello, hello, hahaha, this kid was on TV just now, and he is here in a blink of an eye. He looks even more talented than on TV." The couple smiled and stood up to shake hands with him.

Chang Xiaoru said proudly: "That's right, we were on the show in the year of the year, but the director of the satellite TV begged him to go."

Wen Ji Nian choked, and blushed a little at her exaggerated statement.

Next, Chang Xiaoru became more and more exaggerated, such titles as "international superstar", "youngest double actor", "receipt of fashion resources" and "immeasurable commercial value" were given to him.

Wen Jinian kept winking at Zhong Xingran, hoping that he would stop Chang Xiaoru.But this guy wanted the whole family to praise him, so he deliberately pretended to be eating melon seeds and didn't see it.

Fortunately, Chang Xiaoru only introduced him to a few main relatives, and did not introduce much to other cousins.

Today came Zhong Xingran's uncle, second uncle, uncle and aunt.

His uncle Zhong Yusheng is the youngest in the family, so his peers call him Little Uncle.

Zhong Yusheng looked less than ten years old, and seemed to be a little younger than Zhong Yunqi. He had no airs throughout the whole process, and looked at Wen Jinian with a smile.

The two cousins ​​teased: "Sister Ru, why don't we introduce it when we introduce it? Do you want to treat it differently?"

Chang Xiaoru said protectively, "Our Ji Nian just got off the plane, and I wanted him to rest for a while. He's not tired after calling people around."

Wen Jinian nodded slightly to them and said, "Hello, uncles and aunts."

Everyone laughed, praised him for being handsome and polite, and wanted to give him red envelopes.

Chang Xiaoru knew that Wen Ji Nian was thin-skinned and would not accept red envelopes face to face, so she pushed them away and pulled him to the main table, where he was asked to sit down and rest for a while.

Zhong Xingran's grandfather was recovering from illness and did not come to eat, so his grandmother was sitting at the main seat.

Taking advantage of Chang Xiaoru's time to greet Wen Jinian, Zhong Xingran was already sitting next to his grandma, with a seat in the middle, he beckoned, and Chang Xiaoru took advantage of the opportunity to press Wen Jinian to sit down in that seat.

This position is tantamount to clearly telling everyone about his relationship with Zhong Xingran.

The second uncle looked at Zhong Jiantao teasingly, his face suddenly became stiff.

Wen Jinian looked at the old lady and Zhong Jiantao, and said unnaturally: "Grandma, Mr. Zhong."

The old lady looked at him cheerfully, "Just now you sang and danced on TV, I felt that watching Huanxi was like watching that child Ran Ran. By the way, how old are you this year?"

When Wen Jinian mentioned her age, she nodded repeatedly, "It's also the age to start a family."

Maybe Zhong Xingran had greeted her in advance, she didn't ask questions about her parents, but picked a few innocuous inquiries.

At the end, he turned to Zhong Jiantao and said, "Why, is the Chinese New Year dumb? Can't you hear people saying hello to you?"

The old lady was indeed Zhong Jiantao's nemesis, his expression softened immediately, he nodded to Wen Ji Nian, and said dryly, "Happy New Year."

The old lady snorted dissatisfied, and said to Wen Jinian: "Since you're all here, stay at home for a while. It just so happens that my old lady has nothing to do right now, so I'll stay here and show you around. You are a local person?"

"Not really, I just came here in junior high school, and I studied in Yanzhong for elementary school." Wen Jinian replied.

The old lady said pitifully: "It's not easy to leave home at such a young age. Ran Ran, you should take care of him more in the future, you understand?"

Zhong Xingran was watching them talking with a smile, and said immediately after hearing the words: "I can't let him give way any more, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."

The old lady gave him a reproachful look, "What are you talking about, this is not 'let', the two of you should support and respect each other, especially for two men."

The old lady has lived most of her life and has always had her own wisdom and cognition.

Zhong Xingran restrained his smile, and changed his words seriously: "Grandma is right, don't worry, I will remember the year well."

The old lady smiled, and patted Wen Ji Nian on the back of his hand, "Don't be nervous, take it easy, I'm not preaching to you. When you come here, our home is your home. If you don't dislike it, treat my old woman as your mother." You kiss grandma. If there is anything good or bad, you can tell me."

It has been a long time since Wen Ji Nian has had such contact with the elders of this generation, and he has gradually lost much impression of his grandma. The only thing he remembers is that when she was a child, she liked to coax him with delicious food, and her tone was so gentle and kind at that time. .

He felt his eyes heat up, lowered his eyelids and nodded in response.

The old lady seemed to be able to see his emotions, and took good care of him during meals, telling him jokes from time to time to divert his attention.

Wen Ji Nian gradually let go a lot, and would make her happy with interesting things at work.

The old lady said with a smile: "You guys are different from Ruru in those days. She always complained to me, saying that so-and-so resources under her were robbed again. Now the circle is quite a lot of fun."

Chang Xiaoru took a bite of the crab legs peeled by Zhong Jiantao, and interjected, "Mom, you're starting to speak ill of me again."

"How can this be called bad words, don't you often complain to me?" The old lady laughed.

Wen Jinian said: "This kind of thing will happen to us now, but injustice does not exist in one industry, but in every industry. The only thing we people can do is to try to break the injustice with our own ability , after I have reached a higher level, I can also slightly resist these injustices for the people behind."

The old lady tapped Chang Xiaoru with her chopsticks, "Look, look, when he was in his twenties, his ideological awareness was much higher than that of yours."

"That belongs to our family too." Chang Xiaoru said with a smug smile.

Zhong Xingran was busy peeling the crab legs for Wen Jinian, and said casually: "He didn't just talk about it, grandma, do you remember the Xizhou Women's Foundation, the one that invited you to give a lecture last time, Ji Nian donates to them every year I used to donate less when I first started working, but now I donate more, more than my pocket money.”

Wen Jinian glanced at him and signaled him not to bring up such things.

The old lady was surprised: "You actually donated money to them? Years ago, I gave them a speech. At that time, they invited many long-term donors. I don't know if you went or not."

Wen Jinian thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but he happened to have something to do at that time, otherwise he would have met Zhong Xingran's family in advance.

When he said this, the old lady smiled and sighed, "It's really fate. I didn't expect that we didn't meet each other years ago, but we still meet today."

Zhong Jiantao watched them talking happily, and became more and more silent.

After the meal, it's time to give out red envelopes.

Wen Ji Nian only accepted the red envelopes from the old lady and Chang Xiaoru, and nothing else. These two red envelopes were also stuffed by them, saying that they must ask for auspicious luck in the New Year.

Zhong Xingran was in a hurry to receive red envelopes. If there were no accidents this year, it would be the last year for him to receive red envelopes, because Lanjiang's custom is to only give out red envelopes after getting married, but not to accept them.

After a while, fireworks were set off outside.

The children screamed and ran out.

Wen Jinian stood by the window, watching the fireworks through the glass.

A figure suddenly appeared next to him, he looked back and saw Zhong Yusheng holding champagne.

Zhong Yusheng was raised by Mr. Zhong Hai when he was old. Apart from Zhong Xingran, the eldest grandson, the family loved him the most.During the dinner just now, apart from taking care of Wen Ji Nian, the old lady paid the most attention to him, and she was very fond of him.

It is said that he does not look very much like Mr. Zhong Hai, but he looks a lot like the old lady when she was young.Looking at his red lips, white teeth, and delicate features, he looks like a dignified and stable young master.

Wen Jinian looked at him in surprise, not knowing why he came to his side.

Zhong Yusheng smiled at him and said, "Congratulations, my mother seems to like you very much, when are you and Ranran going to get married?"

His tone sounded gentle and comfortable, although it was the first time he spoke to him, it was not abrupt.

Wen Jinian paused and said, "Thank you, we haven't figured it out yet."

Zhong Yusheng raised his glass to him, "Then I will bless you in advance."

With that said, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Wen Jinian also picked up the wine next to him and had a drink with him.

Zhong Yusheng didn't ask too much, and left after a while.

As soon as he left, Zhong Xingran leaned over and asked with concern: "What did he tell you?"

Wen Jinian shook his head, "I didn't say anything, just drank a glass of wine with me and said some words of blessing to us."

Zhong Xingran said thoughtfully: "Tsk, little uncle probably remembered the past."

Wen Ji Nian showed doubts, and he explained: "He used to have someone he liked very much, but because grandpa objected, he couldn't enter the house."

"So that's how it is. It's about the same as your brother." Wen Jinian thought of Zhong Yunqi, and it seemed that this was also the case. It seems that not many of their family's relationship went smoothly.

Zhong Xingran curled his lips, "He is much more miserable than my brother. My brother just got opposed and broke up. The one my little uncle likes is the captain of my grandfather's security team. The two grew up together... ...No, it should be said that the little uncle was brought up by him. Later, that person was treated badly by the grandfather, and he couldn't get along and planned to leave with the little uncle, and died in a car accident the day before he eloped."

He looked at Zhong Yusheng's back, the old lady was pulling him to talk, looking very concerned.

Zhong Xingran lowered his voice and said, "Don't look at him as normal, but he actually suffered from severe depression. He committed suicide several times in the past few years, and he was forced to come back from hell."

Wen Ji Nian let out an "ah", he remembered the scar that Zhong Yusheng accidentally exposed under his watch just now, it should be left by his suicide attempt...

"So you know why grandpa didn't object to us." Zhong Xingran held his hand and said, "They were frightened, and they figured it out, thinking that nothing is more important than the happiness of their children and grandchildren. However, my father I haven't fully figured it out yet, compared to grandpa, he is the old stubborn." He snorted through his nose, with a bit of resentment on his face.

Wen Jinian said helplessly: "Everyone's acceptance is different. If my parents were still alive, I can't guarantee that they would accept you immediately. Don't take uncle's attitude to heart, I don't mind what you mind."

Zhong Xing looked at him eagerly, "Honey, don't comfort me, we are both in reverse, I should be the one to comfort you."

Wen Jinian hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, my uncle came to me after dinner and said that he asked me to go hiking with me tomorrow. I guess he wants to have a detailed chat with me."

"My dad asked you to climb the mountain?" Zhong Xingran had a strange expression, "No, I'd better go with you, what if he finds a mountain and buries you..."

Wen Ji Nian was speechless, "Be normal, your father won't be like this."

Zhong Xingran snorted, but didn't speak, he made up his mind that even if Wen Ji Nian didn't take him with him, he would follow secretly.

He changed the subject and said, "By the way, I'll go to see you tonight, okay? I miss you so much. If it wasn't for this group of people getting in the way here, I would be able to take you to Songnan today."

As a couple who are not officially married, according to the rules, they should not live in the same room.

Zhong Xingran's uncles, aunts and grandma are all staying overnight tonight, so when Chang Xiaoru arranged for them, she naturally arranged a room for Wen Jinian as well.

Wen Ji Nian couldn't bear to refuse him, so he nodded.

Zhong Xingran's eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited in advance.

After watching the New Year's Eve, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

Zhong Xingran found a black plastic bag, packed all the red envelopes he received and turned them in, hesitantly kept a small amount as private money, in case he wanted to buy gifts for Wen Ji Nian, and had to ask Qu Huaimin to pay in advance.

He picked up the bag, sneaked into the deserted corridor, and slipped into Wen Jinian's room.

Wen Ji Nian had just finished taking a shower, changed into pajamas and came out, when he saw him spread the red envelope on the bed, and let him see it as if asking for credit.

"Wife, wife, here are the red envelopes I received tonight, all for you." He said with bright eyes.

He looked so much like a puppy wagging its head and tail, Wen Ji Nian couldn't help softening his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't give it to me, you can spend it yourself."

Zhong Xingran was taken aback, his expression changed, "What's wrong with you? Are you angry with me? Why don't you want my red envelope?"

He piled the red envelopes into a hill, and sat in front of the hill with aggrieved eyes, looking at them angrily, as if it was their fault that Wen Ji Nian was angry.

Wen Ji Nian felt helpless and wanted to laugh, he raised his forehead and said, "I'm not angry with you."

Seeing that Zhong Xingran was still unhappy, he had to remove half of the pile of hills and said, "Okay, then I'll take half, and the rest will be your pocket money."

Zhong Xingran became happy again, and leaned over to kiss him.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chang Xiaoru's voice came from outside.

"Ji Nian, are you asleep?"

The two looked at each other, and Wen Jinian pointed to the balcony, motioning for him to hide first, it's not good to be bumped into by the elders.

After he hid it, Wen Jinian hid the red envelope under the quilt, got up and opened the door.

Chang Xiaoru looked around at the door, and after confirming that there was no one there, she walked in like a thief.

Carrying a black plastic bag on her shoulders, she slumped on Wenji Nian's bed, turned her head and said happily: "I helped you find the red envelopes given by uncle and the others, and I will give them all to you."

Wen Ji Nian: "..."

There was an unstoppable sound coming from the balcony, and Chang Xiaoru said alertly, "What's the sound? Who's there?"
