Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Seventh Sister-in-law didn't let Chen Jun and Seventh Brother follow her. She just had Chen Ming help her walk back, as if she wanted to talk to him alone.

"Humph!"

Seventh Brother still seemed a little embarrassed and left with his hands behind his back, feeling resentful.

Chen Jun looked at his younger sister who had fled back to her room, then glanced at Yun Yi beside him, and said with a smile—

"I'm sorry, I wanted to bring you back to play, but this happened..."

He had hoped that this trip home would bring them closer, but now, would this leave a bad impression on A-Yun? Chen Jun felt a little uneasy.

Yun Yi looked up at the tall and burly Chen Jun, smiled, reached out and took his arm, gently pressed her face against his, and said—

"Seventh Sister-in-law is very kind, Seventh Brother is a true man, and Xiaomei is willing to give everything for love... Jun, you have a wonderful family, I like it very much..."

I love you for being born into this family...

“Ah Yun…”

Chen Jun looked down at his petite, affectionate lover, his eyes filled with tenderness. He reached out and gently stroked her hair.

Deeply affectionate.

He looked in the direction where Seventh Sister-in-law and Chen Ming had left and said—

"What does Seventh Sister-in-law want to say to that guy?"

"They're probably asking about my background or something."

"Too……"

After saying that, Chen Jun fell silent.

Yun Yi turned his head to look at him and said with a smile—

"What's wrong? You seem to have a problem with him? So, as the older brother, you always dislike your brother-in-law, don't you?"

"No, it's just that I feel..."

Chen Jun scratched his head in frustration and said—

"That guy gives me a feeling I can't quite explain, and I can't help but care about him a little."

"You think so too?"

Yun Yi raised an eyebrow; this was indeed a strange thing.

Chen Jun was somewhat surprised and said—

"Ah Yun, do you feel the same way?"

"Hmm... how should I put it, I just want to care about him, like I care about a child... but it's more than that..."

Both of them tilted their heads awkwardly, unable to figure out where the problem lay.

……

Chen Ming helped Seventh Sister-in-law back into the house. He carefully helped her to a chair, and even took a cushion from the side to put under her arm, saying—

"Please take your time."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Seventh Sister-in-law held his hand, her eyes scrutinizing him. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. There was a familiar shadow between his eyebrows and eyes, but she had never seen this child before.

This world is truly amazing.

She smiled kindly and said—

"Chen Ming, is that you? Where do you live?"

"..."

How to answer this?

He was a little embarrassed.

Chapter 855 It's so good to see you

Chen Ming scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said—

"I live near Tsinghua and Peking University."

"Tsinghua and Peking Universities?"

The old woman looked puzzled, as if she had never heard of the place name before. After thinking for a moment, she said—

Is it in another province?

Chen Ming was also taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that this was twenty-seven years ago, before Qingbei was developed and only Qingzhou existed.

He quickly said—

"No, it's north of Cheongju... That's where my home is."

He certainly couldn't lie to his mother, but he could only selectively conceal certain things. After all, the situation was so complicated that explaining everything clearly was unrealistic.

"Qingzhou...that's quite far."

Grandma nodded, then asked—

"Who lives in your family, and what do they do?"

coming.

As expected, it was impossible to escape this question. After all, it was his daughter's marriage, and he certainly wanted to know what kind of person the other party was. That's understandable.

Chen Ming had already thought about how to answer. He looked at the hand his mother was holding and said—

“My parents used to be teachers, but now they work in other organizations. I have an older sister who works in a research institute, and an aunt who often travels abroad.”

He confessed directly, because even if he told her all this, his mother would never be able to guess the truth. The only thing she could confirm was whether he was lying or not.

Hearing Chen Ming's words, the mother nodded gently and said—

"Okay, okay... So, we're a family of cultured people."

Both parents were teachers and were able to get jobs, so they must have been quite educated. One of their older sisters even worked in a research institute, which shows that this family is highly educated.

With an educated family and a stable job, Xiaomei shouldn't suffer after marrying into such a family. However, the son of this cultured family has done something rather uncultured. When she sees his parents again, she'll have to give them a good talking-to about how they raised this child.

The mother truly couldn't believe that Xiaomei's marriage wasn't just a formality, but rather a strengthening of family ties... And she'd been seeing Chen Ming's parents every day lately...

She continued—

"And what about you? What are you doing right now?"

"I now own a shop, a shop in northern Cheongju."

Chen Ming scratched his head.

His mother looked at him, tilted her head, and said—

"Open a shop? Why? Didn't you get into university?"

Hearing her gentle tone, which seemed to convey a slight disappointment in him, Chen Ming felt a bit resentful and subconsciously retorted—

"Mom, I've graduated from university with a bachelor's degree."

He blurted out "Ama" without thinking. It was the first time he had ever called her that, but it came out so naturally that it took him a while to come to his senses.

Oh no, how did I let it slip?

Chen Ming was a little nervous, and his mother was also slightly taken aback. Hearing him call her "Mom," that strange feeling became more and more obvious.

Seeing his somewhat defiant, childlike expression, I couldn't help but smile, patted his head, and said—

“Here, ‘Ama’ means ‘grandmother.’ You should call her ‘Mom’ like Xiaomei does, or you can call her ‘Seventh Sister-in-law’.”

"Um...this..."

Chen Ming felt slightly embarrassed, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. If he called his grandmother "Mom," wouldn't that make him and his father like brothers? Besides, he was already older than Chen Jun in this world...

You call me brother, and I call you dad?

The classic story of good brothers is back.

The generational hierarchy is so messed up, it's unbearable.

Even with a stiff upper lip, Chen Ming was only willing to call out once—

"Seventh Sister-in-law".

"Hey."

His mother responded to him, then thought for a moment and said—

"Or perhaps 'Ama' means 'mother' in your area? You can use whatever you prefer, it's fine."

Grandma was truly kind and gentle, and this was even more evident in her treatment of Chen Ming. When he called her "Grandma" just now, it actually felt very appropriate, as if it were only natural...

She shook her head and asked again—

"Since you've already graduated from university, why open a shop? Wouldn't it be better to work for a company?"

Chen Ming had been bothered by this issue by his parents countless times, and now that his mother was saying the same thing, he pouted and said defiantly—

Why can't I open a shop?

"It's unstable."

Grandma shook her head and said—

“We used to run a business, but then things changed drastically, and we faced a dangerous situation. Fortunately, we treated the villagers well, so we are still safe.”

“Mom, things are different now.”

"Perhaps. Many people have made a fortune in business now, but I'm old and can't get out of the house."

Grandma smiled and said—

“You can do business, but you have to be very careful. You’re not alone anymore; Xiaomei is relying on you too.”

"I understand, I will protect her well."

Chen Ming took it very seriously.
