Chapter 12 Pretending to be drunk? Who wouldn’t?
"Uncle, aunt, brother, sister, you are here, sit inside."

"My dad is taking care of it."

Chen Jun shouted politely, helped open the door of the restaurant, and invited the family in.

"Yes." Uncle Chen Kaijiang nodded slightly, glanced at Chen Jun, and said, "This time I volunteered well."

"Thank you, uncle." Chen Jun nodded in response.

The exchange between the two was very ordinary, without any red envelopes or any expressions. Chen Jun was used to this.

The uncle’s family is stingy and likes to judge others in a teaching and educating manner. This is no secret.

Cousin Chen Feng smiled at him, cousin Chen Qian blinked, and the family of four went in directly.

Chen Jun didn't say anything, and he didn't follow the busy schedule to find a seat or support.

The uncle's family moved into the city very early, and he didn't have much contact with him. He used to go to high school in the county and never went to the uncle's house during holidays. He only went to visit relatives during the New Year.

I couldn't stay there, there was really no sense of intimacy.

"Xiaojun."

Just as the uncle's family entered, another silver-white van came to the door of the restaurant. Third uncle Chen Futong was standing by the door waving.

"Third uncle?" Chen Jun's face was filled with joy. He looked at the short, fat, and well-built middle-aged man and put a smile on his face again.

He jogged over to greet him.

Chen Futong is a businessman. When he was young, he dared to venture and work hard. Now he runs a construction company in partnership with others. The business is booming. His family also moved to LZ City a few years ago.

His son was even sent abroad to study.

Of course, Chen Jun was happy to see him, not because his third uncle's family was rich, but because this rich third uncle really had nothing to say to him.

When he was a child, his third uncle liked to take him to play, take a bath in the river, and play video games. He always responded to his requests and never hesitated.

Before his third uncle's son, Chen Peng, went abroad, he also liked to follow him around whenever he had nothing to do. He called him "eldest brother" and was particularly clingy to him.

"Haha, Xiaojun is promising. He was admitted to the military academy and it will be a favor to our old Chen parents." Chen Futong had a smile on his face and raised his hand to pat Chen Jun on the shoulder.

Pulling him around to the passenger side, he took out a thick red envelope and a small square box from the seat.

He handed it to him casually and said: "Take this, this is the red envelope that my uncle gave you. On the way here, I went to the mobile phone store to look around. I heard that the military academy checks mobile phones and prohibits the use of Apple and Samsung. I will give it to you." You bought a millet."

"This year's latest model, take it with you to study, and keep in touch with your parents when you have time."

"Uncle, this is me." Chen Jun looked at the new mobile phone and the thick red envelopes stuffed in. He really couldn't accept them, especially the red envelopes. Looking at the bulge, he was afraid it would cost several thousand.

"Why are you so polite? You kid, it's better to kiss your uncle when you were a kid. Put it away quickly and don't let your dad see it."

"I heard that computers are needed in college. I don't understand this either. Just take the money and buy one. If others have it, we can't lack it. Do you understand?"

"Going there and studying hard is better than anything else."

After Chen Futong finished speaking, he didn't give Chen Jun a chance to refuse. He forced the red envelope into his pocket, took out a cigarette from his body, lit it, and walked towards the restaurant with a smile.

Look at the new mobile phone in your hand, and then feel the big red envelope in your pocket. Summer clothes are inherently thin, so there is no way to hide this thing.

From his uncle, he had never felt the closeness of a family, but from his third uncle, the senses were completely different.

"Xiaojun."

"What are you doing standing around? Come in." Not long after, his father Chen Baishui stood at the door of the restaurant with a red face and waved.

"You kid, your elders are here to attend the college entrance banquet, are you still shy?"

"Go, stand in front and say a few words. Today, your aunt, your aunt, your uncle, and your third uncle are all here to support you and celebrate you."

Chen Jun originally wanted to talk about his third uncle's gift, but seeing that his father was very happy at this moment, he had a straight temper and didn't know how to turn around, so he decided not to talk about it yet. The two brothers were quarreling.

What my father dislikes the most in his life is taking advantage of others, not even his brothers, not even if they have money.

His purpose is that if you don't earn it yourself, you won't want it, let alone take it from others for no reason, not to mention that the third uncle has given so much back.

I followed my father into the restaurant hall. There were already three tables set up and the guests had almost arrived.

"Say it!"

Chen Baishui touched his son with his arm and reminded him to talk.

After all, Chen Jun is the protagonist of this college entrance banquet, and he has to make some opening remarks. Even if he says that the food is good and the food is good, but the reception is not good, it is still the same thing.

Otherwise, others won’t be able to use the chopsticks.

Faced with this situation, Chen Jun was so thick-skinned that he couldn't open his mouth at this time.

They were relatives and elders, not the recruits I had led before, so the feeling was different.

But people can't be so stiff. Chen Jun coughed slightly in embarrassment and walked to the middle aisle of the hall.

"Say a few words to Xiaojun, no one will laugh at me, don't be afraid." My cousin encouraged with a smile.

"Well, just tell me a few words. Look how happy your father is because you were admitted to the military academy. Please also tell your aunt about your thoughts on being admitted to the military academy."

After the two of them interrupted, Chen Jun cleared his throat and said, "Aunt, aunt, uncle, third uncle, thank you for coming to my college entrance banquet."

"It is often said that there are flowers in spring and a moon in autumn, and there is cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. It is rare in the world to get together and spend the good time together. Thank you very much for being able to attend this banquet despite your busy schedule."

"My father gave me a lot of motivation to be admitted to the military academy this time. My mother has always been silently supporting me. I would like to thank my parents for their hard work."

"Finally, I wish you all a happy atmosphere, a good time and a happy time together. I wish you all a good meal and a good drink, so that you can enjoy your visit and return home happily."

"thank you all."

When Chen Jun was talking, Chen Baishui stood beside him and rubbed his hands happily. His son has grown up, and there is nothing happier than him.

"That's very well said. Come sit down and eat, kid. Xiaojun is promising."

"Well, you're welcome, let's start dinner."

A group of relatives pulled Chen Jun, and the parents chatted briefly. The atmosphere of the college entrance banquet was very good. After the meal, Chen Jun sat next to his father and drank a lot of wine with him.

He was groggy, but his mind was clear. He sat there and sipped tea, slowly recovering from the hangover.

I don't know whether it was because he was a little drunk after drinking too much, or because the topic came up when Chen Baishui was proudly talking about his son's application for a volunteer and being admitted to the military academy.

Uncle Chen Kaijiang suddenly stared blankly, smacked the dining table and yelled, "Baishui, you don't understand anything, right? I'm telling you, you really don't understand."

"What's so good about a military academy? After graduation, I join the army and become a platoon leader. It doesn't matter if I don't have resources. I can only work at the grassroots level. I can't change my job even if I want to."

"Look at Feng'er, Qian'er, my two children are both studying in prestigious universities. From now on, working outside will lead a more fulfilling life than being a soldier. You just don't understand."

Chen Kaijiang's words made all the relatives and friends present slightly change their expressions, and Chen Baishui's smile froze directly on his face.

Third uncle Chen Futong put down his chopsticks and said unhappily: "Brother, you have drunk too much, how can you talk like this?"

"Who said I drank too much? I didn't drink too much." Chen Kaijiang was still drunk and slapped the table, "What I said is all true."

"What are the facts?"

Surprisingly, no one else said a word. Chen Jun, who had been drinking tea silently, stood up.

He's not a three-year-old kid with a dirty mouth. Who can't tell when he's pretending to be drunk?
Since you are pretending, then who doesn’t know how to pretend?
