I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 93 The Eldest and Youngest Uncles
'Oh no, that's actually possible.'

Deng Qian's comment made Chen Yan quickly realize that if he drove that million-dollar car back to his hometown, he'd probably be bombed with fireworks within two hours. As for his two uncles…

Perhaps because all the best of the family was concentrated on Deng Qian, Chen Yan's two uncles were really hard to describe.

If Deng Qian couldn't attend high school because her family held the outdated belief that "girls don't need to study too much," then Chen Yan's two uncles were simply incompetent and didn't cherish their opportunities.

My uncle Deng Zheng didn't study much in junior high school. He managed to get into a vocational school through connections, but he didn't study for more than two years. He got into many fights and was eventually expelled from the school.

My uncle Deng Zhi was even worse. He skipped classes frequently in junior high school, and his high school entrance exam results were naturally terrible. After the exam, he kept saying things like "I want to go out and make a name for myself" and "I will definitely make something of myself." Then, within two years, he returned to his hometown with tens of thousands of yuan in debt.

Now he's in his forties and doesn't have a proper job. He occasionally does odd jobs, and he basically still relies on his maternal grandparents for financial support every month.

Having two brothers like that would have worn most people down, but fortunately, Deng Qian has always been decisive. After she came of age, she cut ties with them directly and righteously. No matter what bad things those two brothers said about her, they would never ask her for money.

Fortunately, the families don't interact much these days. Apart from meeting a few times during the Chinese New Year, they might not even exchange a few words throughout the year.

After figuring this out, Chen Yan decided that he should take his mother's car back to his hometown tomorrow, and try to avoid any bad luck during the Lunar New Year.

……

The next morning at nine o'clock, Chen Yan arrived at his hometown smoothly in his mother's car.

"Grandma." Chen Yan saw his grandmother Wang Lan standing at the door from afar, waved, and then walked over carrying two boxes of New Year's goods.

Although Deng Qian's relationship with her parents wasn't good, the two elderly people had always been very kind to Chen Yan. When he was a child, they took care of him for a period of time and would often take him out to play.

It was precisely because of this that Deng Qian's relationship with her parents improved slightly.

……

As soon as Chen Yan entered the house, he saw his maternal grandfather, Deng Chen, cooking.

"Grandpa," Chen Yan greeted him.

"Hey, Xiaoyan's here." Deng Chen was busy cooking. When he saw Chen Yan arrive, he turned around to greet her and said, "There are snacks in the room, all your favorites."

"Okay, I'll eat it."

Just then, Deng Qian and Wang Lan walked in together. Looking at the not-so-lively house, they asked, "The other two haven't arrived yet?"

"They said they'd be here soon, but it's up to them whether they come or not." Wang Lan pouted, clearly not very satisfied with her two sons.

……

Chen Yan sat on the sofa, played on his phone for a while, and chatted with a few friends.

Around ten o'clock, a deep male voice suddenly rang out from outside the room.

"Mom, Happy New Year's Eve."

Chen Yan knew from the voices that it was his uncle Deng Zheng and his family who had come over... Although Deng Zheng had not achieved much in his studies or career, he was no better off in terms of family matters.

Deng Zheng met his wife when he worked in an electronics factory in his early years. The young couple fell in love and got married.

Although she doesn't have any major flaws, she has a somewhat shrewish and assertive personality, and she also likes to take advantage of others... At first, Deng Qian gave their children a red envelope of 1,000 yuan every year, while they always gave Chen Yan a red envelope of 600 yuan, saying that "six sixes bring good luck" was auspicious.

So in the following years, Deng Qian would give out red envelopes containing 600 yuan each, so everyone could have good luck with the numbers.

Chen Yan didn't particularly like her, but he wouldn't say he disliked her either... He only saw her a few times a year, so he could just pretend. The couple had two children; the older girl was named Deng Na, the same age as Chen Yan. As for her personality...

To use a popular internet phrase—I fell in love with blond hair in junior high, fell in love with a sports student in high school, and fell in love with the drill instructor during military training.

Of course, Deng Na was better off than her father. She spent over 100,000 yuan on art in high school and barely made it into a third-tier university.

As for the younger one, his name is Deng Jie, and he is only seven years old this year. Every year during the Spring Festival family dinner, Chen Yan can see a particular scene where Deng Jie throws a tantrum after failing to get his mother's cell phone.

High and low can be considered half a demon pill.

Chen Yan had a vague premonition that he might witness another good show this year.

Although their relationship wasn't exactly close, since everyone was there, it was important to maintain a polite facade. Chen Yan rubbed his face, pulled back the curtain, and went outside.

"Uncle, Aunt." Chen Yan greeted the two elders and glanced at his two "cousins," who did not disappoint him.

Deng Na had dyed her hair red and wore two earrings. Although she was wearing a thick down jacket, Chen Yan could still faintly see a butterfly tattoo on her forearm.

As for Deng Jie, he didn't greet the elders at all after he came in, and just kept asking his mother for her phone to play with.

"Oh, it's Xiaoyan! She's grown so tall." Deng Zheng stepped forward and patted Chen Yan on the back, his voice full of emotion. "She's even taller than me now."

Chen Yan's lips twitched involuntarily.

Deng Zheng is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, while Chen Yan was already 1.78 meters tall in his first year of high school. If you really count, Chen Yan probably surpassed him in his second year of junior high school.

"You've grown a little taller." Chen Yan nodded with a smile, losing interest in continuing the conversation. He quickly ended the topic and returned to the house.

As is customary in previous years, before the meal, the elders chatted in the main living room, while the younger generation played in the smaller living room.

Chen Yan was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone when he heard a "click" sound and caught a glimpse of a white dot out of the corner of his eye.

Looking towards the white dot, he saw Deng Na standing there holding her phone. When he looked over, she smiled awkwardly.

Chen Yan knew he was being secretly photographed, but he wasn't interested in pursuing the matter.

On the one hand, he doesn't care much about being secretly photographed. Since his appearance improved, he has noticed being secretly photographed several times, even at school. If he really wanted to investigate, he would be too busy to keep up.

On the other hand, it's useless for him to pursue the matter further, because the gender is wrong and doesn't meet the requirements for launching the "iron fist of justice".

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't say anything, Deng Na felt relieved and then found a stool to sit down.
