()ps: Thanks to "always late l" for his valuable monthly vote, and thanks to "nykfany" and "157747860" for their rewards.

Chen Xingqing's expression froze when he heard this, and he subconsciously took a step back with his right foot, hitting the edge of the sofa behind him. His body immediately swayed and sat on the sofa, looking several years older than before.

"Grandpa!" Upon seeing this, Chen Xichen quickly stepped forward and sat next to Chen Xingqing and shouted.

After sitting there for a moment, Chen Xingqing asked in a low tone, "How did he die?"

"In an accident, he died unexpectedly." Ito Cheng recalled the information about his father slightly and found that there was no specific cause of death at all. There was only this explanation. Even when he met again later, it was his father's ashes instead of his body. However, these were not things that Ito Cheng wanted to consider yet, so he opened his mouth to describe the cause of death in his memory.

"Why didn't you notify me when he died?" Chen Xingqing clenched his hands into fists and asked in a low voice.

"Sorry, I don't know." How could he know such old things? He shook his head and replied.

"Then where is he buried?" Regarding Ito Cheng's answer, Chen Xingqing didn't think much of it, but asked again.

"In the mountains behind our main shrine." Ito Cheng said.

After getting the answer, Chen Xingqing fell silent again.

"Since your old man is in good health, we can rest assured." After a moment of silence, Ito Cheng changed the subject and then took out the scroll from the things on the coffee table and put it aside alone and said, "This is for you, old man." …”

"This is for uncle." Ito Cheng took the Qing Dynasty classics again and said.

"These supplements are for the women at home." Ito Cheng finally said.

"Then I'll take my leave." Ito Cheng straightened up and looked at Chen Xingqing and said.

"Stop." Just when Ito Cheng was about to turn around and leave. Chen Xingqing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shouted, and then said in a deep voice when Ito Cheng paused, "Since you are the son of Yongde. That is the son of our old Chen family. It doesn't matter if you don't want to call someone, but a family dinner is. You have to eat.”

"Xichen, call your parents and your aunt and ask them to come back to me immediately." Chen Xingqing then ordered Chen Xichen.

"Oh." Chen Xichen agreed, turned to look at Ito Cheng who was standing there, got up and went back to his room, using his mobile phone to contact others.

"Sit there. Tell me about your family's situation." After Chen Xichen left, Chen Xingqing, who looked a little gloomy, pointed to the sofa beside him and said in a deep voice.

Ito Chengda didn't object, he walked to the sofa nearby and sat down, and started talking in a low voice.

"Our family is currently..."

A moment later, Chen Xichen, who had contacted relatives, also walked out of the room and stood aside and listened to Ito Cheng's story.

But I can’t talk about much, except where I live now. Apart from the family situation and how well they are living, other things like exorcism and so on are simply not suitable for Chen Xingqing, who is an ordinary person and has practiced some farming skills at most, so he finished describing the family situation in just a few minutes.

"You have two sisters above you?" Chen Xingqing asked after hearing Ito Cheng's story.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Yes, I even know how to spread incense to the old Chen family." Chen Xingqing nodded and said, "Much better than Yongli."

Ito Cheng knew that the Yongli spoken by Chen Xingqing was probably the so-called uncle. Zhu Zhu raised his head and glanced at Chen Xichen who was standing aside. After all, Chen Xingqing's words just now were somewhat patriarchal.

I don't know if the latter is already accustomed to Chen Xingqing's old ideas, and he didn't pay any attention to the potential meaning of those words. He just looked at each other with Ito and then continued to play with the iPhone 5 in his hand.

Then the room fell silent again. Only domestic anti-Japanese dramas played on TVs were noisy there. It was like this until about forty minutes later, when they were interrupted by the sound of a key turning the door lock.

"Dad." There was a knock on the door first, and then a female voice rang immediately, followed by a man with sexy stockings on his legs, a gray and white knee-length skirt, a lavender long-sleeved shirt, and a A young woman with black perm and curly hair, a round face that looked plump, and who looked to be in her thirties walked into the room.

"Mom." Chen Xichen immediately called out when she saw the woman walking into the house and bending over to take off her shoes.

"Xiaohua, don't take off your shoes yet, go downstairs and buy some food." Chen Xingqing said after Chen Xichen.

The woman who heard Chen Xingqing's words was stunned at first, then glanced at Ito Cheng who was sitting aside and agreed, "Okay, Dad."

"Mom, I'll go with you." Seeing Xiaohua about to leave, Chen Xichen quickly ran to the door and said while putting on her shoes.

"Normally you don't even go when I ask you to. What happened today? The sun came out in the west?" Xiaohua looked at his daughter and said with a smile.

"Let's go." Chen Xichen didn't protest. After putting on her shoes, she took Xiaohua's arm and dragged her out of the room.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut together with a muffled sound.

But not long after the room became quiet, the door was opened from the outside again, and then a man wearing a black suit, a white shirt underneath, and a black tie, his body was slightly fatter, his face was red but his expression was a little bit... The man holding the Qiao came in.

"Dad, why are you calling Xichen to ask me to come back this afternoon?" the man said.

"I'll come back as soon as I tell you. Why are you talking so much nonsense? What's wrong with you and my words?" To this man, Chen Xingqing's temper was not ordinary and he cursed directly.

The man who came in at this time also noticed Ito Cheng who was sitting on the side. An embarrassed look flashed on his face, and then he returned to the same look as when he entered the house, and walked into the house with a serious face.

"Dad, this is..." The man, Chen Yongli, looked at Ito Cheng up and down, then looked at the things on the table, and said with a slight frown.

"This is Xicheng, Yongde's child. He came back to visit relatives." Chen Xingqing pointed at Itocheng and introduced, but when talking about Yongde. The expression that had just recovered dimmed again.

"Yongde's child!?" After hearing Chen Xingqing's words, Chen Yongli looked at Ito Cheng and said with surprise.

"Hello." Upon seeing this, Ito Cheng stood up from the sofa and saluted. As for the other relatives' names, he didn't mean to call them at all.

Chen Yongli also discovered something from Ito Cheng's performance. After frowning and nodding in response, he walked aside and sat down and said, "Where are Xiaohua and Xichen?"

"I went shopping for groceries," Chen Xingqing said.

"What kind of food should I buy? I can't just go to a restaurant outside to eat." Chen Yongli said.

"This is a dinner to meet relatives, and it's not an ordinary dinner. You're just here to entertain, so just find a hotel and deal with it." Chen Xingqing said in a dissatisfied tone.

"That's not what I meant." Facing Chen Xingqing, Chen Yongli couldn't express his temper at all, and said in a helpless tone. Then he turned to look at Ito Naomi and said, "My name is Xicheng. Where is your dad? Is he okay?"

"Father, he has been dead for several years." Ito Cheng replied.

"What!?" Chen Yongli was immediately surprised when he heard this, and looked at his father, Chen Xingqing, worriedly. Although the latter's face was full of sadness. But the mood is relatively stable, and there is no excessive reaction.

"Then who else is in your family?" Chen Yongli, who was a little relieved when he saw this, asked Ito Cheng again.

"There are also mother and two sisters." Ito Cheng replied.

"Why didn't they come together?" Chen Yongli's voice was still calm, but Ito Cheng still felt a little dissatisfied.

"There are still some things that I can't get rid of in Japan, so I can't come over." Ito Cheng replied.

"Then why did you come to the country this time..." Chen Yongli didn't say anything and asked again.

"Do some errands and then go sightseeing." Ito Cheng replied.

"You look a little older than Xichen. You should still be in school." Although Chen Yongli's question was nothing, how could Ito Cheng not understand the underlying meaning? It was nothing more than asking you why you didn't go to school, and Time is running around the world.

"Well, yes." Ito Cheng naturally couldn't answer this question. He responded pretending to be stupid.

"What school?" Seeing that Ito Cheng didn't understand, Chen Yongli continued to guide.

"University of Tokyo. Department of History." Ito Cheng replied.

"Dongguan University, it seems that your study is very good, Xicheng." Chen Yongli said with a flash of realization on his face. After that, Chen Yongli had no special emotions and chatted with Ito Cheng about home affairs until more than ten minutes later, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.

Then the women Ito Cheng met before, Xiaohua and Chen Xichen, and a man wearing black trousers, a white shirt, and a black suit, with short hair and a figure comparable to Chen Yongli The young woman walked in together.

"Dad." The strange woman called to Chen Xingqing.

"Yongxia." Chen Xingqing glanced at the woman and said, then turned to introduce Ito Cheng, "This is your aunt, Chen Yongxia."

"Hello." Although Chen Xingqing introduced the title, it was Ito Cheng's business whether to call him or not, so Ito Cheng still stood up and said politely.

"This is it." Chen Yongxia looked at Chen Yongli and Chen Xingqing with a puzzled look on her face and asked.

"It's Yongde's child." Chen Yongli said.

"Yong De!?" Chen Yongxia whispered in surprise when she heard this.

Naturally, there was another round of questioning, and after understanding the general situation, Chen Yongxia walked into the kitchen and helped Chen Xichen's mother, Xiaohua, prepare the food.

More than half an hour later, everyone sat together at a large dining table filled with food. The old man Chen Xingqing naturally took the seat, and then from Chen Xingqing's left were Chen Yongli, Chen Xichen's mother Liu Xiaohua, Chen Xichen, and Chen Yongxia. and Chen Xicheng, also known as Ito Cheng, sitting on the right hand side of the old man.

"Today's meal is a meeting with relatives. The main purpose is to let Xicheng recognize his family. As for how to get along with each other in the future, that is your business. But after eating this meal, Xicheng is a member of our old Chen family. It is his job to help you. Help me, do you understand?" Before the meal, the old man Chen Xingqing said in a serious voice.

"I know, Dad." The others quickly agreed. As for the kid Chen Xichen, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not.

"The same goes for you, Xicheng. It doesn't matter if you don't call anyone, but the people sitting here are your relatives. It's up to you to decide what to do. I won't say more." Then Chen Xingqing looked at Ito Cheng and said.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng nodded and said nothing.

"Okay, move your chopsticks." Chen Xingqing didn't say anything when he saw this. He picked up the chopsticks in front of him and placed them on the table, announcing.

Then everyone was not polite and started eating. But in terms of atmosphere, it is definitely not as lively as it was without Ito Cheng. After all, no matter for the Chen family or Ito Cheng himself, it is estimated that except for the old man, it is impossible for both parties to enter the role so quickly and get along harmoniously.

However, despite this, there are some situations that no one has concealed. For example, Chen Yongli, who is forty-five years old, currently serves as a deputy director with little real power in the industrial and commercial taxation department of Beijing. He is at the deputy department and bureau level. However, considering his age, There is still great hope that he can continue to rise. It depends on whether he can follow the right path in the future.

Liu Xiaohua, 40 years old, holds a casual position in the Social Management Section of the Civil Affairs Bureau and is currently at the rank of a full-time officer. This situation seems to be the product of being taken care of by her husband.

Chen Yongxia, 47 years old, works as a logistics director in a key high school. She is a position with a small amount of power and can make some dark money.

Chen Xichen, seventeen years old, has just finished taking the college entrance examination, has received the admission notice from Beijing University, and is currently on vacation. Although she was admitted to Beijing University, her admission score was more than 100 and nearly 200 points lower than that of candidates from other places. She was obviously one of the caregivers who received the most favorable treatment from the emperor.

"By the way, Xicheng, how long will you stay in Beijing this time?" Liu Xiaohua asked.

"I don't know, it depends on the situation, but I will definitely stay for three to five days." Ito Cheng replied.

"In that case, let Xichen accompany you and let her take you for a walk." Liu Xiaohua suggested with a smile.

"Not bad." Chen Xingqing said.

"Okay, thank you." Ito Cheng didn't refuse when he saw this, and thanked him.

"Xichen, stay with your cousin." Liu Xiaohua turned to his daughter Chen Xichen and told him.

"I know." Chen Xichen curled her lips secretly and responded in a low voice.

After a while, everyone finished the slightly weird lunch, and then Ito sat there and watched the old Chen family chatting like an outsider.

"Xichen, take Xicheng out for a walk." Liu Xiaohua was more attentive and noticed Ito Cheng's condition, and turned to Chen Xichen and said.

"Oh." Chen Xichen agreed, stood up from his seat, went back to the house to get his mobile phone, took several pink-faced old man's heads that Liu Xiaohua quietly gave him, and left home with Ito Cheng who politely said goodbye to everyone.

"Where do you want to go?" Chen Xichen asked Ito Cheng absentmindedly while playing with his mobile phone.

"It doesn't matter, anywhere is fine." Ito Cheng replied.

"Oh." Chen Xichen responded casually, then ignored Ito Cheng and continued to fiddle with her phone.

Then the two left the gate, walked out of the community, stopped a taxi and drove away.
