Drowning Reborn

Jiang Zechen didn't know what happened on the night of New Year's Eve after he went back to his house to take refuge. Anyway, when he got up the next morning, the Jiang family was happy and peaceful. Inexplicably relieved, but also a little disappointed, because all this is too fake, it doesn't look like a family.

Somewhat listlessly poking at the fried eggs on the plate, Jiang Zechen glanced sideways at Jiang Zehan blinking at him, as if showing off his credit for getting everything done, Jiang Zechen smiled reluctantly, expelled the dissatisfaction in his heart, and told himself that it would be fine People around him treat him as a child, and he can't lose his temper like a child.

——So, it's all over, and that's fine.

Mrs. Jiang never mentioned the quarrel last night, and she didn't say anything to stop Jiang Zechen from becoming an actor. Naturally, Jiang Zechen would not ask for trouble. On the other hand, I started calling my friends who missed the New Year call last night.

When I called Li Shaoming, the boy was still asleep under the covers, and after being disturbed by the ringing of the phone, he lost his temper drowsily at him. After a few words, the stubborn donkey was subdued.

Li Zhou's phone call naturally complained as usual that he had to go to various occasions with his parents during the New Year's Eve, and he was bored to death. There is no difference between Li Zhou and Li Zhou's fifty-step laughing one hundred steps-their family has already dressed up and is preparing to welcome the guests who come to visit for New Year's greetings!

By the time Song Yue was called, it was almost 08:30, and the first group of people who came to pay New Year's greetings were ringing the doorbell. Jiang Zechen also had to pay the New Year's greetings in a hurry before closing the line, although Song Yue's tone It was a little weird, it seemed that the interest was not high, but he quickly left it behind heartlessly, and cheered up to welcome the guests.

The Jiang family's family education is very strict. Even if the guests who come are not very important, the children are not allowed to go to the side to play. They must sit with the adults honestly as "accompanying".Sitting on the sofa with Jiang Zehan, listening to the extremely boring words of the New Year's greetings, and having to nod with a smile all the time, even if the red envelopes in the pocket are getting fuller, it can't stop the dissatisfaction and temper that the second young master of the Jiang family has gradually accumulated .

Although the Jiang family belongs to the nouveau riche, they are well-known in City B and even in the country. In the past few years, they went to foreign countries to develop, which made Jiang's father's company even better.Because the Jiangs are not in City B all the year round, these people usually don’t know where to find them if they want to make connections. Now that they are finally back, there is such a good reason to pay New Year’s greetings. Naturally, there are a bunch of people like bees who smell the fragrance of flowers. The swarm rushed forward, this uncle, that aunt, etc., Jiang Zechen didn't even know where they all came from!

Some are said to be Jiang's father's partners in business, some are seeking help from Jiang's father, some are begging for a living under Jiang's father, and some even claim to be relatives and friends who can't beat each other. The Jiang family did not have a moment of peace.

The Jiang family is full of family, and the Jiang family couple and Jiang Zehan talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but Jiang Zechen, the young master who was pampered lawlessly in his previous life, had a stiff smile on his face, and he was so angry that he had to grit his teeth and endure it so that he would not lose his temper , so as not to follow the footsteps of being willful and reckless in the previous life.

The only thing that comforted Jiang Zechen was that there was another person sharing his pain.Although it can't be seen on the surface, Jiang Zechen knows that Jiang Zehan is not very comfortable at the moment. It can be seen from the strength of his hand that he is holding his hand. In just one day, so many strangers almost knocked down the threshold, it's no wonder he can feel comfortable!

After a day of tossing, Jiang Zechen's energy was completely squeezed out, and he didn't even have the heart to play with Jiang Zehan's intimacy between brothers—well, because the Jiang family and his wife are here, Jiang Zehan's behavior has also restrained a lot—— After dinner, Jiang Zechen fell asleep without saying a word, and was not caught out of the bed by his elder brother until the next day at three poles.

"Do you want to continue yesterday's experience? I... I just don't want to live anymore!" Jiang Zechenxuan struggled wanting to cry while clutching the quilt, silently complaining about the issue of interpersonal relationship Grieving little goblin.

"Today is different. Today we are going to pay New Year's greetings to others." Jiang Zehan patted his younger brother's head with some distress, and softened his voice to persuade.

"That's not the same!" Jiang Zechen poked his neck and wanted to get under the quilt, but Jiang Zehan, who had seized the opportunity, hugged him from behind and dragged him out of the quilt, "It's different, of course it's different, what are we going to do this time?" It's a mess, you're going to my grandpa's house with Dad and me."

Jiang Zechen froze for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Zehan, as if he wanted to ask for proof.Jiang Zehan nodded, indicating that he had no auditory hallucinations.Immediately, Jiang Zechen felt uneasy.

Jiang Zehan's grandfather was not Jiang Zechen's grandfather, but Jiang Zehan's biological mother's father.

It is said that the ancestors of the Wang family have always been a bureaucratic class. It was originally a very prestigious family, but later it fell with the corruption of the government, and experienced the decline and displacement of the war, and was suppressed. Although it is still stubborn and not uprooted. It is also somewhat powerless in today's rapidly developing modern society.

There are many branches of the Wang family. Although there are a few more promising young people in the side lineage, they are becoming increasingly estranged from the direct lineage and have little relationship with each other.Many of the big ancient families have the same problems as the Wang family. The collateral lineages can't understand the stubbornness of the direct lineage, and the direct lineage can't understand the humble origins of the collateral lineages. It has continued to modern times, and there are still many families that still have such ills.

Jiang Zehan's mother is regarded as the legitimate daughter of the Wang family—although it is not fashionable to say so now—even if the Wang family is unable to make ends meet and there is basically only a good-looking empty shelf left, her status is still there, and she has been superior since she was a child.Although the married daughter poured out water, but the second elder of the Wang family is this precious girl, so she took great care of it, but this treasure was ruined to death by Jiang's father, even if the resentment towards the Jiang family from the bottom of the two old people's hearts has not been expressed. , but it certainly cannot be resolved.

The Jiang family could not live without a mistress. Their daughter died, and Jiang's father wanted to remarry. They had no reason to stop him, but the Wang family would definitely not let Jiang's father have a good time. Small private actions must be indispensable.

However, although the rift has arisen, the Jiang family and the Wang family are still involved: the Jiang family needs the prestige of the Wang family to gild themselves, and the Wang family still needs the financial support of the Jiang family.So even though Jiang Zehan's mother has passed away, Jiang's father still calls the two elders of the Wang family "Dad, Mom". It is also necessary to visit when you come to the door.

In my impression, Jiang Zechen has not been to the Wang family a few times, because his status is rather embarrassing and unlikable. After reliving his life, he has never been there, and the reason is still the embarrassment of his status—while Jiang Zehan goes there every year. The Wang family pays New Year's greetings, and sometimes even the two elders of the Wang family miss their grandson, and they will call him over to "enjoy the family relationship" at any time.

——However, this time, why did the Wang family, which has never had anything to do with him, even invite him?Confused, Jiang Zechen involuntarily let go of the quilt, and was grabbed out of the bed by Jiang Zehan without any resistance.

Seeing his younger brother's uneasiness, Jiang Zehan held his hand tightly and comforted him silently.

Jiang Zehan knew that his grandparents didn't like his younger brother, or even hated him, but he hoped that the two elders of the Wang family would be more tolerant to his younger brother—not as the son of Jiang's father, but as his Jiang Zehan's younger brother.Jiang Zehan didn't have any bad intentions in this move, but simply didn't like the attitude and tone of the two elders of the Wang family when they talked about Jiang Zechen - Jiang Zechen is his younger brother, as long as he doesn't want to, he will admit that no one can bully him.

Because Jiang Zehan kept consciously mentioning Jiang Zechen in front of the two elders, telling them that his younger brother was innocent, innocent and understanding, and telling them that his younger brother held a special and important position in his heart. Therefore, this child whom they had always wished to see was finally let the two elders of the Wang family Moved to see each other.

The relationship between the Wang family and the Jiang family was only based on interests after the death of Jiang Zehan's mother, but even though the two elders of the Wang family have always had their own little calculations, they still have a heart of love for Jiang Zehan.They want to see what a child who is truly accepted and loved by their grandson is like, and they also need to judge with their own eyes whether this child will adversely affect their grandson—or even hinder him.

So, when Jiang's father called, the two elders of the Wang family broke the record and asked him to bring Jiang Zechen with him.

Then...Jiang Zechen was unexpectedly...unlucky...

Although he was appeased by his elder brother, Jiang Zechen still dare not be careless about going to the Wang family. In his heart, the Wang family should be the one who hates him the most. He really doesn't want to be disliked by others. A thorn in the flesh...

But no matter what, he was still forced by Jiang Zehan to dress up, and the result of this inattentiveness was that he was dressed up like a doll.

Uncomfortably pulling at the circle of white fluff that tightly wrapped his head, Jiang Zechen really didn't like this kind of furry and cute clothes, but it was a pity that time waited for no one, he didn't have the guts to stand up to Jiang's father's strict He went upstairs to change a set of clothes again, and had no choice but to force his face to be pulled by Jiang Zehan, and walked to the gate of Jiang's house.

"Xiao Chen is so cute, believe me brother." Jiang Zehan poked his younger brother's face that was flushed with anger, blinked his eyes, and made a promise, but Jiang Zechen just gave him a supercilious look, and he didn't care about it at all. Move—ever since he was treated as a dress-up doll by his elder brother when he was a child, he has no confidence in Jiang Zehan's "aesthetics".

The father and son of the Jiang family went out and got into the car. Mrs. Jiang waved goodbye at the door with a smile on her face. Like a good wife and mother, she told them to pay attention to safety, be obedient and not make the old man angry, but even Jiang Zechen could see the dissatisfaction in his mother's eyes Resentment and resentment——she is not a scheming woman who is good at disguising, perhaps this is one of the reasons Jiang's father chose her.

Mrs. Jiang's method of ascending to the position was not glorious, and her background was not high, so she was not qualified to step into the gate of the Wang family. Even Jiang's father never accompanied her to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year.

——Speaking of Jiang Zechen's grandparents, even Jiang Zechen himself doesn't have much impression of them. He only knows that they are ordinary people in a small county town in other places, and Mrs. Jiang once fell out with her family because of her disgraceful lover experience. Basically no contact.

Jiang Zechen knows that her mother has a kind of arrogance in her bones. She wants to fly higher, and she keeps working hard for it—even though the way of hard work is not correct in the eyes of most people.Because of the disgrace in the past, even if she was in front of her, she would definitely be ridiculed and scorned by many people. Jiang Zechen doesn't know if she has regretted it, but even if she regrets it, her own arrogance will never allow her to look back. Back off, and fall from the clouds.

——Even if she made mistakes again and again, she had to bite the bullet and continue to go up, otherwise she would not even be able to maintain the glory in front of others.

Looking back, looking at Mrs. Jiang slowly lowering her hands from the rear window of the car, but still watching the direction they left, Jiang Zechen felt that his mother looked a little sad, a little weak, but under the always straight back was a A humble heart.

——After all, that was his mother, even if she was wrong and ridiculed, she was still his mother.

——It would be great if he could grow into a man who can shield his mother from the wind and rain in this life...
