Chapter 23 Family Gathering (Part 2)(1/2)

"Brother Peng, you are here! Brother Peng, have you done anything fun recently?"

When Su Peng saw this little boy, he couldn't help but smile. This little boy was the child of the third wife of the Su family and Su Peng's cousin.

Mr. Su has four brothers. Mr. Su is the eldest, and there are three brothers who are a few years younger than him and are a few teenagers.

The four brothers divided the Su family into four rooms.

Among them, the big house is Mr. Su, and Su Peng, who are both in the army. Mr. Su has achieved the highest achievement and is also the center of the four houses, who is in charge of the family business.

The rest are the second bedrooms of the Su family who entered the armed police system, the third bedrooms of the Su family who entered the government affairs system, and the fourth bedrooms of the management of military supplies.

The development of the four houses of the Su family is different, with the long house as the core, and the four houses are the richest after years of operation.

As for the second and third bedrooms, it is relatively inferior.

This little boy is a junior from the Sanfang family who is in politics. His name is very funny. I don’t know if his parents have read too many legends in the late Qing Dynasty. He named him Su Can and the same name as the martial arts top scholar Su Qier.

This little guy is very active and playful, and wants to try everything. He also has a very good relationship with Su Peng because Su Peng has the ability to modify toys.

The little guy was once led to Su Peng's detective office in the office building, and played with a model helicopter that Su Peng modified the power system and radio receiver. Su Peng installed a camera on the plane, which can be remotely controlled within a range of 400 meters and can also be performed by aerial photography. Su Can enjoyed his life, and even admired his cousin.

"I just want to play." Su Peng looked at the stubborn Su Can, and was in a better mood. He grabbed Su Can's hair with his hands and took out his phone and said, "I have modified this phone and can peek at the wireless signals within fifty meters around him. Although he cannot intercept call information, if someone goes to the wireless network, you can intercept some information. You can use it for a while."

"Ah?" Su Weiwei, who was next to Su Can, suddenly saw his eyes lit up. Before Su Can took the phone, he smiled and took the phone from Su Peng's hand, saying, "Brother, let me have this to play with, I like this high-tech... Hey, I'll use it. If it's easy to use, you can make one for me too? I've recently seen a few female medical soldiers in the army. They like to chat on their phones with QQ and read novels. I happened to peek at what they are studying with smiles every day."

"You guy, you are crazy, aren't you going to ask for QQ directly?" Su Peng couldn't help but laugh and scold Su Weiwei. Su Weiwei laughed and said, "Didn't my dad not allow me to fall in love in the army..."

Su Peng shook his head and smiled. Su Weiwei didn't like studying very much, and he couldn't go to high school. He was mixed with the so-called "big brothers" in some schools every day, and he was very naughty. Su Peng's second uncle saw that this was not possible, so he directly let him drop out of school. He completed the procedures to join the army and transferred him into the army. This way he was more careful and careful under his nose. Not to mention, this was really effective. Su Weiwei's bad habits have been corrected, but they are also very active.

"Brother Wei, you bully me!" Seeing that his good toy was snatched away by Su Weiwei, Su Can couldn't help but pout the fat face, making his face even more round. Su Wei glared at him viciously and pinched his fat face with his hand a few times.

Su Peng smiled and looked at the two of them. The four houses of the Su family were very harmonious. The so-called intrigues between the big family, but the adults were actually very kind, because everyone knows that the Su family was mainly Mr. Su, so that they could develop so well. With Mr. Su, there was not much internal struggle or internal friction.

So, the relationship between the younger generation is also very harmonious. Su Weiwei often took Su Can, who was only a few years old, to run around in his early years. Both of them were just a joke.

"Su Can, your sleeves are bulging, what's stuffed?"

Su Peng saw Su Can's right hand wrapped in his shirt, and seemed to be more tambourine than his left hand, and asked Xiao Su Can.

"Ah, you've discovered it by your cousin..." Su Can stuck out his tongue and rolled up his sleeves. Su Peng looked and saw that there was a black poisonous snake about the thickness of an adult's fingers on Su Can's right arm, which was wrapped around his hand!

"Damn!" Su Weiwei almost jumped up when he saw this. He was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he was afraid of snakes.

Su Peng was also shocked. This snake was obviously a poisonous snake!

"Haha, Brother Wei, you are so brave. This snake has no teeth, and it has been pulled out." Su Can couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Weiwei's appearance.

"Toothless is also a poisonous snake. Where did you get it?" Su Peng frowned and asked Su Can.

"I bought it... A few days ago, an old man came at the school gate. There was a jar full of snakes. He said he had a tooth extraction and it cost twenty yuan. I thought it was quite fun, so I bought it. It was fun to play with it. It was so cool and wrapped around my hand. Brother Wei, do you want to play for a while? Use my cousin's mobile phone to exchange it?"

Su Can said to Su Weiwei, and Su Weiwei shivered after hearing this and said, "Forgive, stay away from me, as far away as you are!"

Su Peng frowned even deeper and said, "Xiao Can, be careful when you play with snakes. The poisonous snake's teeth will grow again every more than a month. Then the problem will be big when biting you."

"What?" Su Can was also shocked when he heard this, but thinking that the poisonous snake shouldn't have grown teeth now, he felt relieved and said, "I almost got trapped by the snake selling... Well, when I get home, I will send the snake to the wildlife hall."

Su Peng nodded after hearing this. Su Can and Su Weiwei have some benefits. Although they are fun and active, they can still listen to others' words. They are quite kind and unwilling to humiliate others or kill animals for nothing. Su Peng contacted them because of this.

Su Can didn't get the toys, so he ran to the side with his face and went to play. At this time, a few more people came in outside the door, who were from the fourth house. Su Peng looked at the time and it was almost lunch time, so he called Su Weiwei, who was fiddling with his cell phone, and walked towards the second floor together.

After going up the second floor, there were another group of people. These people were Su Peng's uncles and aunts, and Mr. Su had three sons, a young daughter, and Su Peng's relatively direct relatives. The rest were cousins ​​from other rooms, with a large number of people, with a total of more than 30 people. Su Peng did not know them all, but after going upstairs, Su Peng never stopped saying hello.

"Su Peng, you are here." A calm-looking man in military uniform came over. Su Peng's second uncle Su Mingli. Now in the army, his military rank has been promoted to colonel. Before he was fifty-five, he is likely to be promoted to general. After Su Peng's father became a vegetable, he is the first person in the army under Mr. Su.

"Well, hello, uncle second." Su Peng greeted Su Mingli. Su Mingli nodded and said, "Originally, the young boys were playing downstairs, but first, you are the eldest son and grandson, and second, you are old and are not suitable for being with those children. You and Weiwei, let's be on the second floor first."

Su Peng nodded. Actually, he didn't like the current atmosphere. Although he was all from the Su family, his quality was good. He was not as messy as usual gatherings, and the space was large enough. There was three or four hundred square meters of space on the second floor of this three-story building alone, but Su Peng still didn't like it.

However, Su Peng didn't wait long, because it was soon time for the birthday party to begin. The servants hired by the Su family and the life secretary of Mr. Su who was similar to the steward's duties, quickly arranged the second floor into a banquet venue, and eight or nine tables were placed to serve the banquet meals.

Su Peng knew that those in charge of this kind of banquet were cooks specially prepared for senior leaders in the army. Today, they borrowed them from the army first. The food must be delicious. Judging from the ingredients, although it is not top-notch luxury, it is also quite expensive. There are many tables such as sea cucumbers and turtles, which may be sent by people from the fourth room, and the fourth room itself manages these.

The people in the Su family were quite tacit. Although they were close to each other, they had a close relationship with each other. Their seats were arranged according to their relationship, and the children below were also called up by the adults to prepare for the banquet.

But everyone was standing, and no one sat down first. Soon, footsteps came from the third floor. Su Peng looked and saw four energetic old men and a woman in her fifties walking down.

Suddenly, there was applause in the room, and there was only congratulations: "Happy birthday, old man!"

Walking among the few people, the old man in military uniform looked white in the hair and beard but had a strong and thin body and could not help but smile on his serious face and waved to the person below.

This is Mr. Su.

The other few are Mr. Su's brothers and sisters... Mr. Su's father, the founding general, married three wives in his life. Mr. Su and his second brother were the first wife, but this wife died before the founding of the country. The younger brother of the third wife was born to the second wife, but he died of illness more than ten years after the founding of the country. The third wife was married by Mr. Su's father in that turmoil era and gave birth to the younger brother of the fourth wife and the last sister. This sister is nearly thirty years apart from Mr. Su. She married the son of the former Minister of Health. Now the children are also working in the Ministry of Health.

Su Peng's grandmother has passed away, and Mr. Su has not remarried.

At this time, Mr. Su had already walked to the second floor. He pressed his hands slightly and signaled to Jingjing. The hall suddenly became quiet.

"Sit all." Old Master Su spoke very briefly and powerfully. After hearing this, the people from the Su family sat down according to their identity.

Mr. Su, his four younger brothers and sisters, as well as Mr. Su's two sons, and the eldest son of the second generation in the other couples, sat at a table.

Then the second-generation daughters of the other rooms occupied the other tables. Mr. Su was a bit traditional and favored boys over girls, and his daughter was not qualified to sit at the table he is now.

The other three generations of the Su family occupied several other tables.

Su Peng was planning to sit at a table with Su Weiwei and others. Although most of them were children, it was more comfortable than sitting on the other tables.

While Su Peng was looking for a seat, he saw his third uncle, Su Mingfa, who was also wearing military uniform, waved to him.

Su Peng sighed and walked towards the seat where Mr. Su was.

"Grandpa, happy birthday." When she came to this seat, Su Peng said to the master Mr. Su first.

Mr. Su nodded. In fact, the old man had no disgust towards Su Peng, and it was not because of his father's affairs that he was a little cold to him.

"The family dinner has begun. You are the eldest son and grandson, sit in this seat." The third uncle Su Mingfa said to Su Peng, and Su Peng sighed in his heart. Although the third uncle Su Mingfa is serious, he really considers himself. He wants to create opportunities to repair his family affection with his grandfather more than once. Although Su Peng is not concerned about the cold treatment of the family, he also follows Su Mingfa's wishes.

Since the third uncle Su Mingfa asked him to sit here today, he must have received the tacit approval of Mr. Su.

Sure enough, Mr. Su nodded, and Su Peng realized that there was a seat in this chapter, which seemed to be reserved for him.

Su Peng suddenly felt something rising in his heart. It was not exciting, but he felt a little warm and belonging.

Thinking of this, Su Peng sat in this seat.

The family dinner officially begins.

Although everyone celebrated Mr. Su's birthday and Mr. Su should have said something, given his position in the Su family, he didn't want to talk nonsense, and no one dared to force him to say anything. So everyone naturally began to eat food silently.

In Su Peng's seat, several old people talked about the situation of the people in each house. The child of this family married the daughter of a deputy governor, the child of that family married the mayor of a city in the east, whose girl graduated from Military Medical University, and so on.

Su Peng ate the dishes silently, while the other old men also knew something about Su Peng. Seeing that Mr. Su today agreed that Su Peng would do this as the chairman, it seemed to be intentionally repairing the relationship between the two grandparents and grandchildren, he deliberately or unintentionally brought the topic to Su Peng.

"Su Peng, what are you doing now?" Su Peng's fifth grandmother, Mr. Su's half-sister, then talked about the topic of his son's work, and brought the topic to Su Peng.

"Me? I'm working in a company now... I'm a game trainer." Su Peng answered truthfully, let's just let Su Can and other ignorant children beside him. He doesn't really miss his family and knows his identity as a private detective.

"Game training?" After hearing Su Peng's answer, the elderly were stunned. No wonder, the children of the Su family either joined the army, or entered politics, business, or played games. It was really a new term for the Su family.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Su Peng felt that when he spoke of this profession, a hint of surprise flashed in his grandfather, Old Master Su’s eyes, and then a complicated look, as if... there was a little softer and a little guilt in his eyes.

"Haha, game training...is a new profession, we can't keep up with the times...Su Peng, are you interested in doing business with your fourth grandpa?"

Su Peng's fourth grandfather touched on the topic and said to him.

"Doing business?" Su Peng couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Mr. Su.

Everyone in the Su family knows that Mr. Su doesn’t want the people in the family to pave the way for him, and they all rely on their own hard work. But today the Fourth Grandpa actually asked if he was interested in interfering in the family business. It was obviously after his grandfather’s instruction and agreed, otherwise the Fourth Grandpa would not have gone against his grandfather’s wishes.

Seeing Su Peng looking at him, Mr. Su, who had always been strong, actually coughed and picked up a wine glass to drink to cover it up. He was a little reluctant to interfere with Su Peng's eyes, which made Su Peng exclaim in his heart.

"Not for the time being... I like this profession very much and want to continue doing it for the time being." Su Peng politely rejected the fourth grandfather's proposal.

"Haha, young people have some ideas, but Su Peng, if you want to do business and politics, you can come to us at any time." Su Peng's third grandfather, who brought the third wife to the administrative system, said to Su Peng.

"What's wrong today? Why did such a big change suddenly..." Su Peng was a little confused, not knowing what was going on, and just replied; "I don't have this idea for the time being, but if I want to, I will definitely ask the third and fourth grandpa to help."

"Well, you can also come to your second grandfather. If something happens in China Sea, you can find me, or you Uncle Hui. After all, with China Sea as the center, our Su family can still speak in the military and police system." Su Peng's second grandfather Su Zhongda said.

"Um……"

Su Peng agreed and felt even more strange in his heart. What happened today? Isn’t Mr. Su the most disgusted with the people in the family relying on family power to bully people? Why did the second grandfather Su Zhongda say today as if he was saying: "Don’t be afraid of causing trouble. If anyone provokes you, just take advantage of him. Your second grandfather is in charge. You have the support of 40,000 armed police officers around the China Sea behind you!"

Su Peng didn't know what happened, and even made a spoof of doubts that he had accidentally traveled through time. Mr. Su didn't say anything, but he just took another sip of wine to Su Peng and his grandfathers, and didn't say anything. He just looked at Su Peng occasionally, wondering if it was an illusion, Su Peng always felt a little guilty in his eyes.

The family dinner was in this harmonious atmosphere. Su Peng felt strange. During the meal, he didn't have much common topics with the old man and his uncles. The third uncle Su Mingfa saw it and smiled understandingly. Anyway, his goal today had been achieved. He said to Su Peng: "Su Peng, if you are uncomfortable at this table, go to Weiwei and the others."

Su Pengru received a general amnesty and nodded. He was about to say goodbye to Mr. Su, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that someone was pulling him behind him.

Su Peng wondered, and when he looked back, it was Xiao Su Can. He ran over.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xiao Su Can running towards him, his father happened to be at the table and scolded him.

Xiao Su Can collapsed his face, looked at his father, and said to Mr. Su, "Hello Grandpa." Then he pulled Su Peng and whispered, "Brother Peng, something happened!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Su Peng asked puzzledly after hearing this.

"My snake was lost and I was in this dining room. I don't know where to go." Su Can said with a bitter face.

"What?" Su Peng frowned immediately when he heard this. The snake was definitely a poisonous snake. The Su family was so big. If the snake was allowed to drill into some hidden place and hide for a month or two, it would be too bad if it bites Mr. Su.

"I don't know how to lose it... I don't know who to tell me, if my dad finds out, I'll be finished." Su Can almost cried and whispered to Su Peng.
