Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 352 Family and Old Friends
After entering the house, Chen Chuan took off his coat and took out the things in the suitcase one by one, "Uncle, aunt, I brought a lot of things for you."

He picked up an aluminum tobacco box and handed it to Nian Fuli, "Uncle, this is the best tobacco, imported from Taiana."

When Nian Fuli saw it, he immediately became addicted and rubbed his hands, "I've wanted to try Taiana's tobacco for a long time." He began to take out his pipe, "Xiao Chuan, I haven't used the pipe you gave me last time, so this is just right for it..."

Chen Chuan smiled, took out a set of exquisite tea sets and a set of Qingnang Yufang skin care products, and said, "Aunt, this is what I brought for you."

Originally, Molan was the strongest in the skin care products market. However, after the collapse of Molan, its market and technology were divided up among various companies. Qingnang Yufang also got a piece of the pie, but currently it only produces high-end products with limited quantities. As a drug tester, he also managed to get a piece of the pie.

Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, you sent me a lot of things last time. You have a lot of money to spend in the central city by yourself, so don't bring anything when you come back."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Aunt, I have a job in the processing bureau now. I am a salaried person. I don't have to pay for food and accommodation in the college. It's a good opportunity to buy something for you."

Nian Fuli then asked, "What position?"

Chen Chuan said: "A member of the special enforcement team of the processing bureau."

Nian Fuli asked a few more questions, figured it out, and said with emotion: "If you go back to Yangzhi, the Patrol Bureau will at least give you a captain position. If you count it this way, you are on the same level as me."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "That's not comparable. I can only manage myself in the processing bureau, but my uncle manages thousands of people."

Nian Fuli sighed and said, "Alas, the salary is not much, but there are so many things to worry about. It's difficult." Yu Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you find it tiring, let someone else do it."

"That won't do. So many brothers are counting on me, how can I just give up..."

At this time, the cousins ​​kept jumping around Chen Chuan, saying, "Brother, we still have ours, we still have ours."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "You are indispensable." He took out some remaining things from the bag. In addition to the dolls that boys and girls liked, there were also some educational toys for children.

After giving the things to the two cheering little guys, he finally took out a cylindrical object wrapped in cloth and placed it on the table.

Yu Wan asked curiously, "Chan'er, what is this?"

Chen Chuan pulled the cloth away, revealing a palm-sized cage with a colorful bird inside. He said, "This is a miniature parrot. It can welcome guests and announce good news. It can also eat all kinds of mosquitoes and insects if placed at home."

He purchased this miniature parrot from the Secret Snake Cult, and it was delivered to his doorstep as soon as he was notified. It is very easy to raise, has a long lifespan, and will even say good things about its owner.

However, the biggest function of this thing is actually to identify people. Whenever a familiar or unfamiliar guest comes in, it will notify the host in advance.

He then took the cage and shook it gently. The parrot moved and opened its sleepy eyes. When it saw the person in front of it looking at it, it immediately perked up, spread its wings, and said loudly: "Happiness and good luck, happiness and good luck..."

Yu Wan looked at it curiously, and even the two little ones, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, came over with Chao Ming in their arms to look.

The miniature parrot was not afraid of people at all. It just shrank back when it saw Chao Ming's head approaching, then quickly straightened its chest. Its eyes drifted towards Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, as if asking for help. Its look made people laugh.

Yu Wan said, "It's so hot today, there are a lot of insects. Since this little thing can catch flies and insects, let's keep it. Chan'er, how long will you stay this time?"

Chen Chuan said, "About a month." He then said, "Aunt, I have a car now, and I will come back to see you more often in the future."

Nian Fuli said, "You have work to do besides studying. These things are more important. You don't have to worry about us. Just call us. The road is not short and it's tiring to rush back and forth."

Yu Wan also said, "Chan'er, your uncle is right. Studying and working are not easy jobs. You should take more rest when you have time. You are a child who works hard every day. You should take good care of yourself."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Uncle, aunt, I can take care of myself."

At noon, the family had a meal together, during which they talked about the situation in the central city. However, as there were two young children present, and in order to prevent Yu Wan from worrying too much, Chen Chuan did not mention too many negative things and only talked about the general situation in the central city.

The strange world shrouded by the biological field made my aunt and her family fascinated. Although they had occasionally heard rumors from the central city, they had never heard such detailed stories as if they had seen them with their own eyes.

After dinner, Nian Fuli said, "Go for a walk with me."

Chen Chuan said hello.

Two people came out of the house, greeted people along the way, walked out of the alley, and headed towards the nearby park.

Nian Fuli took out his pipe, and Chen Chuan took out a lighter and lit it for him. Nian Fuli waited for a while, took a light puff, and slowly exhaled, praising, "This tastes good."

Walking slowly on the road, he said: "Now that the Molan Company is gone, the Bloodstain Gang has been wiped out, there are fewer things happening in the city, the Iron Chain Gang still knows the rules, and the public security in Yangzhi is much better than before. There have been a lot of changes in the Patrol Bureau. The old company commander has been promoted, and now Director Guan is the director. Instructor Wen has also been transferred and replaced by a new chief instructor. It's just that I can't figure this person out. He smiles at everyone, but his eyes are always staring at people from behind."

He chuckled, "Now that Molan is gone, someone up there must be keeping an eye on our police department."

Chen Chuan understood. In the past, an important responsibility of the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau was to keep an eye on Molan. Now that Molan was gone, the higher-ups would naturally choose a new method of checks and balances.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, is there any result from Molan Company?"

"That place is now owned by Yuan'an Company. Now they are building a railway in the north, connecting it to the military port in Hangu City. It was decided last year. It is said that Yuan'an Company provided funds behind it."

Chen Chuan nodded. Yuan'an is an arms company, but it is also a state-owned enterprise. It should be the arrangement of the Dashun government to hand it over to Yuan'an.

Nian Fuli took a long puff of his cigarette. "I heard that there are wars going on in those island countries overseas. Xiao Qian sent a telegram a few days ago saying that his training unit might be transferred there to garrison. I guess he won't be able to come back for the New Year."

Chen Chuan knew this. There were endless resistance forces in many island countries overseas, and there was no harmony between countries. There were exchanges of fire almost every day, and it could be said that wars were constant.

He said: "The armaments of the Outer Ocean Islands are several levels lower than that of the Dashun. My cousin is an officer when he graduated from school. The current tactics are different from the past. He doesn't need to fight on the front line in person. Uncle doesn't need to worry too much."

Nian Fuli shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter if I go to the battlefield. If I, your uncle, hadn’t fought on the battlefield when I was young, I wouldn’t be what I am now.

You should be careful in the central city. Although you didn't say it just now, your uncle knows that it's not so easy to stay in the central city. Don't worry about your family. Your uncle is still strong and can hold on for another ten or twenty years. Just do your own thing."

Chen Chuan hummed.

Nian Fuli slapped his head again and said, "Oh, I almost forgot one thing. A few days ago, a guy named Lu Ke called me. He is Yu Gang's apprentice, right? He said he would give you their contact address." He fumbled around and took out a piece of paper. "I wrote down his address."

Chen Chuan took it and took a look at it, "Thank you, uncle."

Nian Fuli waved his hand and said, "Yu Gang was involved in a case, but the Iron Chain Gang helped to stop the Bloodstain Gang, and his previous criminal record was cleared. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he does things prudently. He was also your teacher, so if you think it's okay, you can help him."

Chen Chuan nodded.

After walking around outside, Chen Chuan talked a lot with Yu Wan and then returned to his room.

After being away for more than half a year, the furnishings in the room are still the same as before. It can be seen that my aunt cleans it frequently.

He took out and packed up the things he needed, and in the afternoon, he drove his cousins ​​to the newly opened amusement park, and also visited some places they used to go.

After coming back that day, he took a nice bath and went to bed.

The next morning, he got up early and did some boxing to stretch his muscles. After having breakfast with his aunt's family, he called Ding Jiao and said, "Ding Jiao, this is Chen Chuan."

"Xiao Chuan...you're back?!" A loud voice came from the other side.

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, I went back to Yangzhi during the summer vacation."

"Oh my..." Ding Jiao cried out in surprise, "Xiao Chuan, you said you were going back to Yangzhi, why didn't you tell us earlier so that we could welcome you. Also, you've been in the central city for so long, you have to tell us about what happened there, so that we can brag about it when we come back, right?"

Chen Chuan laughed. Ding Jiao was still the same as before, not changed at all. He said, "I just got back yesterday, and I called you right now. Let's make an appointment to get together. I'll be at home for the next month."

"Okay, I'll notify people now and get back to you later." The person on the other end hung up the phone in a hurry.

Chen Chuan smiled and dialed another number, this time calling Cheng Zitong. After the call was connected, he said, "Teacher, this is Xiao Chuan. I just got home yesterday. Is it convenient for you now? Okay, I'll come over right away."

He put on his hat, picked up some things he had bought in Central City, and pushed the door open.

But these things are just incidental. He has prepared a special gift this time, a book of ghost stories recorded based on various clues in the central city. He believes Cheng Zitong will like it.

After getting on the car at the alley entrance, he drove towards Wuyi College.
