The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 111 You just sent me this?
Chen Qiyun was very proud: "I made an agreement with Brother Le before that he would give me a gift for every centimeter I grow taller. This gift is this."

Chen Xiuyun was stunned again: "How tall are you now?"

"I'm already 1 meters tall!"

Chen Qiyun is very proud. Let’s see who dares to say she is short in the future.

Aha? !
Chen Xiuyun was quite surprised.

If she remembered correctly, the last time she measured Chen Qiyun, she was 1 meters tall. This number remained at that level for three whole months without any change. She even thought that her height would most likely remain fixed at this number in the future.

It's only been half a month and the little bean has grown two centimeters?
Unbelievable.

Chen Xiuyun was skeptical: "Is he really 1 meters tall?"

Chen Qiyun was unhappy: "Of course it's true, how could it be false?"

"It's hard to say." Chen Xiuyun curled her lips.

What's so great about being 1 meters tall? She's 54 meters tall and she doesn't even talk!
Chen Qiyun was very angry.

I thought to myself: "What's so great about being tall? I will grow to 1.6 meters sooner or later!"

In her opinion, 1.6 meters is already very tall, at least half a head taller than she is now.

What Chen Xiuyun was more concerned about was: "When did Chen Jingle learn to paint?"

"I don't know. He said he found time to learn it." Chen Qiyun replied.

Oh~~
Chen Xiuyun frowned. It sounded so pretentious. What was the matter?

This level of skill must have taken more than two and a half years of practice.

She had a classmate who studied fine arts for two years, but the things he produced were far worse than this. But he was admitted to Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in the end, so it wasn't too bad by any means.

So there is no doubt that Chen Jingle's level is obviously higher than that of ordinary art students.

"Chen Jingle has such talent?"

Chen Xiuyun blinked, not knowing what to say.

Just like the shock that Chen Jingle had given her in terms of flower planting and cooking, she always felt that this cousin had undergone a drastic change without her noticing.

Tsk tsk tsk!
The more I think about it, the more magical it seems.

Although she wanted to ask Chen Jingle to draw a picture for her, she was too shy to ask.

I can only envy Chen Qiyun.

……

Chen Qiyun closed the door and rolled around happily on the bed in the room.

So many people came to her to ask about the painting, and their words were filled with envy and amazement.

It can be seen how much shock this painting by Chen Jingle brought to everyone.

After the last breaded chicken incident, Chen Qiyun once again found an opportunity to show off in front of her classmates and friends.

Chen Jingle is good at painting.
Chen Jingle drew this for me.
So Chen Jingle is awesome = I am awesome!
She laughed foolishly for a while, and then she heard voices outside, as if her father came back from get off work.

Chen Qiyun quickly put away the sketch, opened the door and went out.

Chen Zhenlin got home from get off work as usual.

Let me tell my parents something first: "Ah Xing from my eldest uncle's family called me and said that he will move into his new house on October 10st and will host a wedding banquet. He asked me if I have time to come and visit."

He has three uncles and many cousins, and the closeness of their relationships varies.

I am definitely close to my eldest uncle, but as for his two sons, I don’t really interact with them that much.

But for my uncle's sake, since he called me, I had to go.

The old lady had just driven the chickens and ducks back into the cages, sat down on a long bench by the wall, and said, "Go when you have time."

Chen Zhenlin asked with a smile: "What about you? Do you want to go?"

"I'm too lazy to go. I won't be able to eat anything even if I go." The old lady never liked to join in such banquets. She has many dietary restrictions.

The old man was holding a hoe, and I don't know if he had just returned from the vegetable garden behind the house. He stopped when he heard what was said, and asked a question without hearing clearly what was said.

Chen Zhenlin repeated it again.

"Just go." The old man was not interested in this. He didn't have many teeth left. What could he eat if he went?
Chen Zhenlin looked at Chen Qiyun who had just come out of the room. He immediately put his hands on his waist, raised his chin, and glanced sideways.

"Chen Qiyun, do you want to go to the banquet?"

This posture is exactly the same as Chen Qiyun's.

In the past, Chen Qiyun would be very enthusiastic about attending banquets because the dishes at the banquets were generally delicious.

At least it tastes better than at home.

But since she got used to eating at Chen Jingle's house, she has lost interest in food cooked by other people, including those in restaurants.

Even in restaurants, the food isn’t as delicious as Chen Jingle’s!

So I refused decisively.

This surprised Chen Zhenlin. The little kid had changed his personality and didn't even go to the wedding.

Fine!

When the time comes, he will make the trip reluctantly.

The old man asked: "Where did you buy Ah Xing's house?"

"Dragon City International in the south of the city."

"So is the place where he held the banquet in the neighborhood or somewhere else?"

Chen Zhenlin was helpless: "How can you just occupy the space in their community? It's a restaurant outside."

"Did they say how many tables to set up?"

"No one said, but the restaurant where the wedding was held is not big, so they should have just invited their own relatives." Chen Zhenlin was not sure either, so he decided to go back and ask his uncle.

The old man nodded and asked, "What did Awei say?"

Chen Zhenlin didn't even think about it: "I called to inform him. Jingle is at home, so just let him go. What else can I say? Brother Wei is out of town and it's impossible for him to fly back."

"Okay." The old man stopped talking.

So that's what was decided.

This is how social interactions work in the countryside. If someone invites you, you'll go unless you really can't get away.

Especially my own relatives.

Relatives can only become close if they visit each other frequently.

So the old man and the old lady couldn't stand Chen Jingle staying at home all day and never going out of the door.

outrageous!
……

"Drinking?"

Chen Jingle was slightly surprised when he received the call from his second uncle.

He was quite familiar with his great uncle, but he didn't remember his cousin Axing very well, and only had a general impression of him.

"You should be free then, right?" Uncle asked with a smile. "Yes, I am."

Chen Jingle did not refuse. After all, he was at home. In this kind of matter, only he could deal with it on behalf of his parents.

The second uncle said, "Okay, just remember to go when the time comes. It's at the Longcheng Hotel at the entrance of Longcheng International Community, October 10st at 1 noon."

"How much is the gift money?" Chen Jingle asked.

The second uncle thought for a moment and said, "300 for my own relatives."

"Okay."

Of course you have to ask clearly, otherwise it would be a joke if the two brothers' two families gave different amounts of gifts.

Chen Jingle didn't want to arrive at the scene and find out that the gift money was too little, and then rush to borrow cash from others.

In the Lingnan region, it is not the case as people say on the Internet that everyone does not accept gifts when holding a banquet. Even in the Pearl River Delta area, only some cities and towns have this custom.

The vast majority will accept it.

It’s just that compared to other provinces, the collection is a little less.

In Jiangbei, people used to give 50 or 100 yuan in the early years, but that has stopped in recent years. Generally, people give 200 yuan, which means good things come in pairs.

If the relationship is closer, it’s 300, and if the relationship is even closer, it’s 500.

It is rare to say 400, as the number 4 doesn’t sound nice.

Of course, wealthy families are a different story.

"We'll have a wedding banquet on October 10st."

After ending the call, Chen Jingle scratched his head.

It feels like time flies by so fast, and it's almost National Day again. Looking at the date, there's still a little over a week left in October, so there's no rush.

At present, there are no other red bombs except the one in my uncle's house.

Among those classmates, I haven’t heard of anyone getting married on National Day.

Maybe it’s because they are getting older, and those who should get married have already gotten married, and the rest either don’t have a partner or don’t want to hold a wedding or a banquet.

Or maybe there was, but they weren't familiar with him and didn't invite him.

It would be better if there was no invitation, Chen Jingle didn't want to deal with so many interpersonal relationships at all.

If he were at a relative's house, he could still eat quietly as a junior.

If a classmate gets married, he or she will inevitably be asked about his or her work, house, and partner by classmates who have not seen each other for many years.

My scalp goes numb just thinking about it.

This is what annoys me. He hasn’t attended a class reunion in many years.

Generally speaking, only those who are doing well in their careers will go there.

For someone like him who has fallen to the point of just eating and waiting to die, there is no need for him to embarrass himself and it would be better for him to just stay at home and sleep peacefully.

……

When Li Qiangguang returned home, he saw that the food was already on the table, but his wife and daughter were sitting on the sofa.

"Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?" He looked helpless.

Jiang Zhiqin smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it's not cold, and we usually have dinner at around this time."

Li Beixing smiled and said impatiently: "Let's eat!"

Tonight she had the cold beef dish she was looking forward to.

Li Qiguang was a little surprised when he saw the dishes: "Is the cold beef made at home or bought outside?"

"Aunt Wang did it." Li Beixing replied.

Li Qiguang nodded: "It is indeed much cleaner when it is made at home."

Li Beixing picked up a piece.

Well, it's delicious indeed.

But compared to what I had this morning, it feels a little...

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhiqin was puzzled when she saw her stop moving.

Is it the taste that’s the problem?

I took a piece and didn't find anything wrong with it. It tasted very good.

"No, it's delicious." Li Beixing grinned.

I ate another piece and, hmm, it was indeed not quite the same. I felt that the one made by Chen Jingle had a stronger meat flavor, while the one made by Aunt Wang had a stronger spice flavor.

Each has its own pros and cons.

But to be fair, she prefers the meatier flavor.

Just tell Aunt Wang about it next time.

"Or ask Chen Jingle directly?"

……

“How to make cold beef?”

Chen Jingle was stunned.

I received a WeChat message from Li Beixing, and I didn’t expect that she would ask this kind of question.

"What should I say?"

Chen Jingle thought about it and sent her the video of himself learning how to make braised beef in soy sauce.

"Just follow the instructions. It's very simple."

"..."

Are you just going to show me this?
Li Beixing didn't know what to say and had the urge to smash his phone.

Inhale, exhale, sigh.

But she still sent the video to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang became nervous when she received the video.

Come again, come again.

I was not satisfied with the kingfish Miss Hua made last time, and the same was true for the cold beef this time.

She even wondered if her cooking skills had deteriorated.

But after watching the video, I did learn something different. I roughly understood what the young lady wanted to express and what kind of taste she wanted.

Li Beixing was afraid that Aunt Wang wouldn't understand, so he said, "Try to make the meat flavor stronger and the spices lighter."

really!

Aunt Wang immediately said, "Okay Miss, I got it!"
