What caught my eye were two grey-haired but energetic old men and a family of four with smiles on their faces.
It is Chen Mo's grandparents and sister-in-law's family.
"I brought you a big cake, congratulations!"
Chen Mo smiled and took the cake.
"Come here, bring me some cake, I'm already so old."
"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in our eyes. And you are only 18 years old, so don't make yourself feel like an old man all day long."
"Hahaha, no way."
…
The mirror-like moon hangs in the sky, writing silver brilliance onto the earth.
When grandma and her family came, they dragged Lao Chen back, who had gone out to visit other people's houses in the afternoon.
A large family gathered at Chen Mo's home. It was a little crowded, but it seemed very warm.
"Grandma, let me cut the cucumbers."
At night, the house is brightly lit, and the kitchen is filled with the sweet and sour aroma of fried eggs and tomatoes, and the smell of spicy and sour beans lingers in the entire small house, making people salivate.
The sound of the shovel hitting the pot lid and the sound of sesame oil splashing when the meat and vegetables are put into the pot are intertwined.
Next to the stove in the kitchen, my aunt and grandma were skillfully chopping and frying vegetables. Chen Mo wanted to help, but they kicked him out.
"Oh, what are you making trouble for? You are the birthday boy today. The kitchen is such a big place and there is no room for three people. Your aunt and I will just be busy. You go out and chat with them."
Chen Mo was pushed out of the door dumbfounded, and had no choice but to follow his father, grandfather, and cousin in the living room, eating watermelon, nibbling melon seeds, and chatting about filling out the application form.
"Come here, eldest grandson, come sit here with me." The gray-haired old man narrowed his narrow red phoenix eyes slightly in the same mold as Chen Mo and his son and said kindly.
"Cousin, cousin, hug, hug!"
Holding his little cousin in his arms, Chen Mo responded with a smile and sat down next to his grandfather.
Quietly let the old man look at you.
The old man, like his father back then, is a very admirable person.
Now in his eighties, he is a veteran who served on the front line of the battlefield, someone who has actually been on the battlefield and seen blood.
Well... to use Lao Chen's words, even though your grandpa looks amiable, he is now old and has washed away his glory and bided his time. When he was young, he was really full of evil spirits. He picked up a whip and whipped it.
It's a pit, the kind where a whip will tear open the skin and flesh.
After I changed my career, I stayed in the system for many years. Now that I have retired, I still have an aura that cannot be ignored.
This also made everyone in the family quite afraid of the old man. Although the old man was always smiling, Chen Mo still had some respect from the bottom of his heart when he kissed her, and listened carefully to what the old man said.
After looking at it for a long time, the old man gently patted Chen Mo's knee with his old hand and said with a smile:
"You are better than that little brat your dad. I never thought we could have a good scholar in our family. Back then I chased your dad with a whip and asked your dad to learn, but he didn't even learn. He enlisted in the army without telling me.
, I was so angry that I almost died. It’s up to my eldest grandson to live up to his reputation."
Chen Mo laughed twice, looked at Old Chen who was pouting at the side, and did not answer.
"Are you sure you want to apply for the imaging major at University A? Have you made your decision?"
"Well, I like it very much."
"You liked playing with cameras when you were a child, but I didn't expect that you would really develop in this direction when you grow up..."
…
The few of them talked to each other, nibbling melon seeds, eating watermelon, watching the news on TV, and waiting for dinner to be cooked. It was very warm and harmonious.
Until the little cousin’s babyish words interrupted everyone’s conversation...
"Cousin, is that my cousin? Grandpa's cousin seems to be on TV!"
"Um?"
"What's inside the TV?"
Several people who were talking turned their heads subconsciously.
I saw a photo of Chen Mo wearing school uniform on the TV...
Chen Mo:!
At this time, the urban evening news on the Zhongshi Life Channel on the TV continued to report:
"In the early morning of the 25th, our news column received a report from a reporter... Boss Gao, the former richest man in the city, the owner of Shuang'an Mall, couldn't stand the love affair and went bankrupt. He attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the building above Shuang'an Plaza in the early morning of the 25th... He was passed by
Passerby Chen rescued him with a mattress...According to the interview, the passerby who saved the person was a high school student..."
Chen Mo:!
Damn it, why don’t you just post the photo? He’s going to sue the radio station! It’s too much!
Although the photo has been blurred and mosaic processed, there is no difference between the processed photo and the unprocessed photo! His acquaintances can tell it’s him at a glance!!
Who exposed him?
But...why does this photo look more familiar the more I look at it?!
Isn’t this the photo of him who won first place in the province in the last physics competition and was posted on the school’s honor roll?!
Being released like this? It’s too shameful!
Looking at the photo of himself on TV, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and the watermelon rind in his hand suddenly broke off.
An idea flashed in my mind that was running at high speed.
Good guy, he knows who tricked him...
Good guy, Li Xiaojun, your senior, I kindly saved you, but you actually harmed me!
Chen Mo cursed in his heart for a moment.
As expected, the next moment, several people around him began to ask questions. Even grandma and the aunt who was cooking in the kitchen poked their heads out.
He pointed at the photos that flashed on the TV.
"Grandson, was that you just now? I must have read it correctly. Hey, did you save someone again?"
Chen Mo rubbed his nose with his knuckles in embarrassment and tried to explain in a simple way.
"Well... I just did it out of courage, but I didn't expect to be photographed..."
"Hey, this is a good thing. It's good to save people, as long as you don't get hurt. However, you are getting more and more courageous. You dare to save this person who jumped from the building. You are not injured this time, right?"
"No, there happened to be two Simmons mattresses next to me at the time, so I moved the position and saved the person."
After hearing this, several people rolled their eyes. Who doesn't know what kind of virtue you are? They believe you.
Several people have grown up watching Chen Mo and have a certain understanding of Chen Mo's force value.
"It's okay. Why do you think you've always encountered such things since you were a child with your physique?"
"Xiao Mo, you have to be careful next time. Don't rely on your skill and boldness to hit someone when something like this happens."
"This little brat is so honest. Sit down and don't move. Let me check if there are any injuries..."
…
Seeing several people chatting about his physical problems, Old Chen immediately started to take off his clothes. Chen Mo scratched the curly hair on his head helplessly. While trying to quibble, he was forced to listen to the talk from the elders around him.
I secretly vowed in my heart that the next time I see Li Xiaojun and that dedicated TV reporter, I will give them a "friendly" greeting.
Cursing and cursing.
Don't let him catch them...
…
What Chen Mo didn't know was that at the same time, almost every TV set among the citizens of xy city was turned on.
