Chapter 661: Chapter 368: Chance Encounter and Current Strength
Ti flies.
Days and months pass like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had gone by.
“Ah Sheng!”
“Long ti no see!”
Wutong Village.
Vegetable market.
Chen Sheng, who had just finished buying groceries, was carrying two large bags of food ingredients as he walked out of the vegetable market.
Then, a robust voice called out to him.
Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the voice.
A man wearing a white tank top with a diterranean hairstyle ca towards him with a radiant smile, waving his arm.
“Uh…”
Seeing this person,
Chen Sheng paused for a mont before he slowly nodded in reply.
“Second Uncle, good morning.”
The man was Chen Sheng’s relative, his father’s younger brother.
After his parents’ death,
Chen Sheng left for another province to work.
He had not seen or spoken to relatives from ho for about six or seven years.
Moreover, their relationship was not that close to begin with.
Therefore,
After resigning, Chen Sheng had no plans to contact them.
Who knew they would run into each other here.
“You’re a fine young man,”
“not having seen you for so many years. You’ve grown even more handso.”
In Chen Sheng’s mory,
His Second Uncle was always straightforward and open-hearted.
He seed familiar with everyone and could strike up a conversation with anyone.
Having not seen each other for a long ti,
Second Uncle did not display any unfamiliarity.
He quickly ca over and walked beside Chen Sheng, looking at him with amazent and making approving sounds.
Because of his strength,
Chen Sheng’s appearance had beco fixed.
And unlike ordinary people, there were no impurities present.
Thus,
He himself looked as if he had just stepped out of a finely retouched photo.
“Maybe it’s because I do less manual work now, so I look younger.”
After many years, their relationship had already beco lukewarm.
Facing his Second Uncle’s enthusiastic questions, Chen Sheng did not know what to say and could only respond half-heartedly.
The two walked side by side like this until they reached the entrance of Chen Sheng’s ho.
“I’m also doing business outside all year round, and only co back when it’s nearly New Year’s.”
“If I hadn’t seen you, I really wouldn’t have known you were back in Fu Hai.”
Second Uncle looked at Chen Sheng’s house and couldn’t help feeling nostalgic.
No one is made of stone or wood; how can we be without feelings?
Though their relationship was not very close,
the other party after all was Chen Sheng’s father’s brother, who grew up with him since they were young.
For a mont,
he couldn’t help feeling sentintal.
“It’s my fault for being a useless Second Uncle.”
“I owed soone money a few years ago, was barely making it myself, so I neglected you.”
“Leaving you alone all these years, I don’t know how hard your life has been.”
“I’ve let you down, and your father too.”
Second Uncle sighed softly.
As soon as he finished speaking,
he didn’t give Chen Sheng a chance to interject, and the sowhat sad expression on his face quickly faded away.
It was as if he had switched faces.
His eyebrows lifted in an instant.
Although his head was balding,
he seed quite spirited.
“But now it’s different!”
Second Uncle waved his hand grandly and slapped his chest emphatically.
“You know about that Martial Arts Association business lately, right?”
Martial Arts Association?
Chen Sheng was taken aback again.
If it were sothing else, he might not be familiar, but the Martial Arts Association…
However, Chen Sheng did not imdiately interject.
He just quietly waited for what was to co next.
“You rember Jianwen, right? You two were so close when you were kids.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng nodded again.
Second Uncle had a son and a daughter.
Jianwen was his son.
Chen Sheng was a little older, and when they were young, he would take Jianwen around to get into mischief.
Today, they might sneak into soone’s fields to steal waterlons.
Tomorrow, they could be sucking nectar from flowers in soone’s backyard.
As a result, they had often been chased by parents wielding clothes hangers.
But as they grew older, the two gradually drifted apart.
“You know about Qi-sensors, right?”
“Now, anyone with this talent is set for life.”
“A few days ago, Jianwen went along with his friends to do the test, just for a bit of excitent.”
“Guess what?!”
Snap!
Second Uncle clapped his hands with force, growing more and more excited as he spoke.
“He’s got the talent too, and it’s a good one. In two days, he can go straight to the Martial Arts Association for training.”
“If nothing goes wrong, he could be on the governnt’s payroll in the future.”
“With Jianwen’s ability, maybe he could climb up the ranks step by step and end up being a high official.”
At this point,
The smile on Second Uncle’s face couldn’t be concealed any longer; he looked just like a mischievous child.
“Here, add on WeChat!”
“I wasn’t much of an uncle before.”
“But from now on, if you run into any difficulties in life, just look for your Second Uncle.”
“I’ll make sure everything is sorted out for you!”
“If you want to find a job, say at the Wu’an Bureau or the Martial Arts Association or sothing, Jianwen can pull so strings for you later.”
“Being on the governnt’s payroll, you’ll at least live a steady life, right?”
While speaking,
Second Uncle naturally took the bags from Chen Sheng’s hand, tilted his chin to indicate for him to take out his phone.
“….”
Although the other party ant well,
And was also a relative,
Chen Sheng wasn’t so unapproachable.
He could only take the bags back from Second Uncle’s hand with one hand while taking out his phone.
With a beep,
Just like that,
Chen Sheng’s WeChat contact list, which until now had only four people, had one more person who wanted to help him get a job at the Martial Arts Association—his Second Uncle.
As for the other four?
Apart from a cactus,
The remaining three were
Li Wuji, the President of the Martial Arts Association,
Sun Yihe, the Vice-Chairperson of the Martial Arts Association,
And Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Saints of the Holy Sect, also an Association Committee mber.
“Alright, I’m heading back now.”
“Contact on WeChat if you need anything!”
After adding on WeChat,
Second Uncle waved his hand and went his own way towards another part of the village,
Just as he had walked towards Chen Sheng when he first saw him.
