It is precisely because of their cheerfulness and knowledge that he can live such a nourishing life in this family, and get along with them just like his biological parents.
Sun Yi was immediately overjoyed and said: "This is the best. I will go buy groceries early tomorrow morning and entertain you well, Xiaoguan, right?"
"right."
Night came soon, and Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi were discussing tomorrow's affairs in the bedroom. This was the first time their son's girlfriend came to their door, and they had to pay attention.
Although they had met Guan Ju'er, Guan Ju'er was not their son's girlfriend that time, but it was different now, and their attitude would naturally change.
The two of them discussed what groceries to buy tomorrow, what clothes to wear, what questions to ask, etc.
Listening to his parents whispering in the room, Zhou Chen smiled, walked into his room, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Guan Ju'er.
Life is so strange, a couple living upstairs and downstairs have to rely on mobile phones to chat.
Zhou Chen told Guan Ju'er what he had told his parents and invited her to come down for lunch tomorrow.
Guan Ju'er was immediately frightened when he heard the news. He was at a loss with his cell phone and his whole body was in a panic.
When her parents came to see Zhou Chen, she didn't have much other thoughts besides being nervous and shy.
But now when she heard that she was going to meet Zhou Chen's parents, she immediately panicked. Fear, worry, nervousness and other emotions all flooded into her heart.
She was really scared to the point of being helpless. She desperately wanted to find someone to share the panic with, but now there were only two people around her.
With almost no hesitation, she immediately rushed to Fan Shengmei's room and knocked on the door softly.
"Sister Fan, Sister Fan."
Fan Shengmei was about to apply a facial mask when she heard Guan Ju'er's call, opened the sliding door, and asked strangely: "What's wrong, Guan Ju'er?"
Guan Ju'er said eagerly: "Sister Fan, I have something very important to ask you."
Fan Shengmei was even more surprised: "It's late at night, what important thing do you have?"
Although it was strange, she still let Guan Juer into the room.
Fan Shengmei's room was messy and not very spacious. There was no other place to sit except the bed.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Sister Fan, Zhou Chen asked me to go to their house for dinner tomorrow."
"Then go. What's the point? Don't you often eat together?"
"No, Sister Fan, he asked me to go downstairs to his parents' house for dinner tomorrow and said he would introduce me to his parents."
"real?"
Fan Shengmei immediately sat upright like a conditioned reflex and looked at Guan Ju'er in surprise.
"Guan Guan, you have only been in love for more than a month, right? So you don't want to meet his parents?"
Guan Ju'er: "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid. I, I, I have never experienced this kind of thing. I don't know what to do. What if his parents don't like me?"
Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes, "You haven't experienced it, but I have experienced it?"
Although she has been in love several times, she has never met her parents, so she actually has little experience.
"But I think that since Zhou Chen is willing to take you to meet his parents, it means that he is serious about you. As for his parents, haven't you also met them?"
"But it's different from that time. I'm so ordinary and Zhou Chen is so outstanding. I'm afraid they won't look down on me and think I'm not good enough for Zhou Chen."
Fan Shengmei: "If that's the case, I don't think you need to be afraid. You are in love with Zhou Chen, not with them. And I heard you say that Zhou Chen's parents are both intellectuals and have a scholarly family.
This shouldn’t be the kind of unreasonable family.”
"I think you really don't need to think so much. Just go directly tomorrow. If Zhou Chen really loves you, he will definitely show that he values ​​you in front of his parents."
After hearing this, Guan Ju'er asked: "Is it true?"
Fan Shengmei sighed: "Of course it's true. I think you don't need to think so much now. The most important thing you should do is to go back to sleep and recuperate so that you can go to your husband's house tomorrow. You are so docile and sensible, as long as they are not blind,
I will definitely like you."
"All right."
After listening to Fan Shengmei's persuasion, Guan Ju'er finally relaxed a little.
After Guan Ju'er left, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but sigh: "Even the youngest Guan Guan has to meet his parents, but I don't even have a boyfriend, alas!"
Guan Ju'er returned to his room, first sent a confirmation message to Zhou Chen, and then lay on the bed alone, thinking wildly, and fell asleep without knowing it.
Andy got up before dawn. She didn't sleep well last night, but she still managed to stay energetic early in the morning.
At six o'clock, I received a call from Lao Yan, saying that he had arrived at the gate of the Ode to Joy community.
They had agreed to go to Daishan today and Lao Yan would drive her there yesterday.
Andy had absolute trust in Tan Zongming, so naturally he also trusted Lao Yan sent by Tan Zongming. He quickly packed up and went to the gate of the community without even eating breakfast.
"Old Yan."
After getting on the bus, Andy first said hello to Lao Yan, and then asked: "Are we going directly to Daishan now?"
Lao Yan replied: "Well, go directly there. There will be breakfast later. You should eat something first to cushion your stomach. It will probably take a few hours to reach Daishan."
"Thanks."
She didn't eat last night, and she didn't eat anything this morning, so she was really hungry.
But it's also because Lao Yan is someone she can trust. If someone else buys breakfast, she really won't eat it.
Guan Ju'er also got up early in the morning. She forcibly woke up Fan Shengmei, and then asked Fan Shengmei to accompany her to the mall for shopping.
After all, it was her first time to meet her parents. She felt that she had to be prepared and not go there empty-handed, so she wanted to buy something to take with her.
But because he had little experience, he called Fan Shengmei.
"I finally slept in, but you ruined it again."
While walking around the mall, Fan Shengmei was still yawning, but seeing Guan Juer's anxious look, she didn't complain.
"I think the old man should just buy some supplements. After all, it's the first time we meet him, so just be polite. There's no need to buy those expensive things."
"Really? Wouldn't that be too rude?"
Guan Ju'er wanted to leave a good impression on Zhou Chen's parents, so he wanted to buy some good things.
Fan Shengmei retorted: "I'm sorry, you just think too much. Didn't you ask Zhou Chen?"
Guan Ju'er said sheepishly: "I asked, and he told me that if I had to buy something, just buy some fruit to take with me, but I think that was too perfunctory."
"Okay, my little Guan Guan, you can do whatever you want, I'll just help you with your eyes."
So the two of them started shopping in the mall.
Andy and Lao Yan spent more than three hours and finally arrived at Daishan.
"Miss Andy, shall we go directly to the orphanage?"
After arriving at Daishan Realm, Lao Yan turned his head and asked Andy.
Andy replied: "Well, go directly to the orphanage and find the old director."
When they arrived at the orphanage, Andy got out of the car and looked at the brand new gate of the orphanage in front of him, feeling very surprised.
In her memory, this orphanage was relatively dilapidated, but now it seems that is not the case.
Lao Yan had been here and done some research. He saw Andy's face full of surprise, so he explained to her.
"This welfare home seems to have been donated by wealthy people, so it looks very good. It is one of the largest welfare homes in the city. It has expanded a lot compared to the time when you were there, so you feel unfamiliar.
"
Andy said: "It's because the familiarity in my memory is no longer there."
"Let's go. The orphanage is normally not open to the public. I'll go tell them first, and then go directly to Director Xie."
"Um."
Lao Yan went to the security office at the entrance, while Andy continued to look around the orphanage and also looked inside.
The welfare home in front of me is very different from the welfare home in my memory, but this is normal. After all, more than 20 years have passed and society is progressing, so the welfare home cannot remain unchanged at all.
A few minutes later, Lao Yan came back. He said to Andy: "Andy, I have contacted Dean Xie, and she asked us to go to her office to find her."
Andy nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
To be continued...
