"What could it be?"

Chen Shufang said unhappily: "Don't mention this guy. I often can't reach him by phone, but he comes to me again in a few days full of energy and shamelessness!"

"Then did you tell your uncle about today's dinner?"

"I sent a text message."

"Oh! If your uncle doesn't come, what will we do after the food is finished?"

"What can I do? Let him starve to death!"

Mother said this, but Chu Jing noticed that when the dishes were served just now, mother picked up a bowl of dishes in the kitchen, which should be reserved for uncle.

While the two chatted, several men at the table had already drunk some wine, and the atmosphere of the chat also came up.

Third uncle He Jianjun looked at uncle He Jianguo and said, "Brother, I heard that you plan to retire in four or five years?"

He Jianguo took a bite of braised pork and nodded, "That's about it."

He Jianjun showed a pained look: "Brother! You're retiring now? You've finally climbed to this position, aren't you going to move up?"

He Jianguo shook his head and said, "I'm old and don't have the energy. I just want to retire early and enjoy my life."

He looked at his father Chu Jianmin and said, "By the way, second brother, how is the performance of your factory now?"

Before Chu Jianmin spoke, the woman next to Chu Jianguo, third aunt Du Lihua, smiled and said, "What kind of performance can a shoe factory have these days? I heard that Zhu Wuneng is looking for connections everywhere and wants to sell the factory!"

Third aunt and third uncle are both vain people.

They can't compare with uncle's family.

After all, they work in the unit and participate in the political situation.

So many times at family banquets, these two people would seek a sense of superiority by comparing themselves with Chu Jing's family.

Chen Shufang and Chu Jianmin were used to it and didn't say anything.

Chu Jianguo frowned: "Is that so? If he sells the factory, won't you and your sister-in-law be at risk of being laid off?"

He began to ponder and soon said: "Do you want me to find a job for you first? Prepare for a rainy day?"

Chu Jianmin said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I won't need it for the time being."

Chu Jianguo nodded slightly without forcing.

Chu Jianjun sneered, "Second brother, your military pride is playing tricks on you again, right? If Zhu Wuneng's factory is sold, you will be at great risk of being laid off. Without income, your family will be left starving?"

Chu Jianmin smiled, "You don't have to worry about that, third brother."

"That won't do. You are my second brother after all. Although I am not capable, I still care about you!"

Chu Jianjun drank more and more, and his words became more and more excessive.

Chu Jianguo frowned slightly, wanting to scold the third brother and not let him cause trouble at the table.

Du Lihua showed a trace of pride and said, "By the way, I have good news for you all. My useless husband, Mr. Chu Jianjun, was successfully promoted to the supervisor of the steel mill yesterday!"

After this, before the relatives present could say anything, Chu Jianmin stood up excitedly and bowed to everyone: "Haha! Thank you for your support! I can climb to this step, it is really inseparable from the support of your family! I am very excited! Thank you all!"

He sat back down, the eldest brother Chu Jianguo continued to frown, but Chu Jianmin started to applaud generously: "Congratulations!"

Chu Xiyao and other juniors found it interesting and followed suit.

So the uncle was not happy and had to follow suit.

Soon, there was fierce applause at the scene.

Chu Jianmin's mouth corners were about to curl up to the sky.

Chu Jing noticed that his mother Chen Shufang showed an unhappy expression.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"What can I do? Your uncle always shows off in front of us! Why is he here today?"

Chen Shufang muttered softly, staring at Chu Jianjun with dissatisfaction.

Chu Jing didn't say anything.

As a junior, he participated in many of the things between the elders.

But sometimes the uncle was too much.

"Second brother! I remember you entered the factory a few years earlier than me? As a result, I am the supervisor now, and you are still the driver!"

Chu Jianjun was happy and drank a few more glasses. He was a little drunk and spoke in a bossy tone.

Chu Jianmin smiled faintly on the side.

He Jianjun suddenly became sad: "At the beginning, there was a quota for joining the army in our family. My father always thought that I was a playboy and couldn't bear the hardships of the army, so he gave the quota to you! Now he is dead, how could he know that his least favorite third son became the director of the steel mill. And his favorite second son is still working hard as a driver?"

After saying this, Chu Jianguo was angry and shouted: "Enough, third son! Stop being drunk here!"

Du Lihua grabbed Chu Jianjun and smiled: "Brother, don't be angry, my honest man just got drunk and said nonsense"It's just a matter of words!"

"You have to be careful when you talk nonsense!"

As the eldest and the best in the family, Chu Jianguo is naturally very majestic.

Chu Jianjun stopped talking, but there was still a sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

When Chu Jing saw this, he probably understood the core issue of why his third uncle insisted on competing with his father for so many years.

It seems that his father's ability to join the army was based on the pain of his third uncle.

But Chu Jing didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Even after so many years, his father has always been diligent and hardworking.

And what about his third uncle?

At that time, he was a playboy who only knew how to fool around all day.

I heard that Later, it was his grandfather who used his connections to help him get into the steel mill and barely managed to start a family and a career.

Comparing the two people's rise to fame, the third uncle is indeed not trustworthy.

So the grandfather's approach is correct.

As for the opportunity of the two, this is sometimes destined by heaven.

If Chu Jing had not been reborn.

Father might have lived a worse life than now.

There is no qualification to compare with the third uncle.

But now, Chu Jing has brought honor and money to the family.

He thinks his father doesn't need to be so polite to the third uncle.

Even if he is a biological brother, he can't be so spoiled.

"Okay, my fault! I shouldn't mention the past."

The third uncle saw that the eldest uncle was angry, and decisively admitted his mistake. Then he changed the topic and said: "Second brother, now we are drinking happily, can we have a frank chat?"

Chu Jianmin said with a smile: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Your savings! "

Uncle San said solemnly: "There is a new house in the development zone. My acquaintance took me to see it. The starting price is only more than 5,000 yuan per square meter. I have invested most of my savings in it and almost booked a house. I was thinking that you also want to prepare a house for Xiao Jing? What, are you interested?"

He pretended to invite my father to buy a house, but in fact it was also a kind of show-off.

Because my father revealed that he did not have enough money to buy a house half a year ago.

Half a year has passed, and my father's salary is just that little. Even if he saves all of it, it is not enough to buy a house.

So, Uncle San's words have only one main purpose.

-To tell everyone that he bought a house!
