In the room, Xu Hongdou took out the things he had brought back one by one.
"Mom, some of these are gifts from the enthusiastic villagers of Yunmiao Village, some are specialties we bought, and some are gifts bought by Zhou Chen for you and Dad."
When Liu Guiqin saw that the suitcase was stuffed full of things, she immediately scolded her: "You kid, why did you let Xiao Zhou buy so many things? It's a waste of money."
"Mom, I didn't ask him to buy this. He wanted to buy it himself. I can't stop him." Xu Hongdou explained.
Liu Guisheng said with a smile: "Sister, this is Xiao Zhou's wish. It's your first time to come to the house, so you should bring something with you."
Liu Guiqin said: "Don't worry about these things for now. Tell me, what do you think? You have quit your job in the capital. What are you going to do in the future? Are you going to stay in the capital, go to the magic city, or go back to your hometown?
Zhou Ke said that he doesn't care where he goes, he will go wherever you go."
Facing the mother's expectant gaze, Xu Hongdou sighed.
"Mom, I just came back, and you are chasing me to ask these questions. I, eh, Mom, how did you know that I resigned? My sister told you?"
"Humph, do you need your sister to tell you? Didn't I call you last time and tell you that your aunt's family, Xiao Gang, and his family of three were traveling to the capital? They called your hotel specifically and wanted to take a look.
Can you give me a discount? The result will be good, and people will say you quit your job."
Xu Hongdou looked embarrassed: "Mom, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry. It turns out that you already knew about it, but I was kept in the dark."
"Humph, you are not allowed to tell us, and we are not allowed to hide it from you?"
The reason why Liu Guiqin didn't say anything was because she knew what her daughter was thinking, but now that things had happened, there was no need to hide anything anymore.
"Don't change the subject. Let me ask you, what are your plans?"
Xu Hongdou felt her head hurt: "Mom, can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Think about it, think about it."
Liu Guiqin waved her hands. She also knew that she was impatient, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, it was related to her daughter's future.
Three choices. In fact, the last thing she wants is for her youngest daughter to return to the capital. Whether she is in the magic city or her hometown, she has relatives in the same city. Of course, she definitely wants her daughter to go home more, but she has to say that at home,
The opportunities are definitely not as good as those in big cities.
Liu Guisheng and Yang Kexin stayed for a while longer, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they prepared to leave.
Hearing that they were leaving, Zhou Chen also stood up on his own initiative.
"Auntie, I just want to go to the hotel. I'll call a driver to drive you there."
"Xiao Zhou, are you going to stay in a hotel?" Aunt Liu Guisheng looked surprised.
Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin said eagerly: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? You're already home and you're still staying in a hotel. What's going on?"
Zhou Chen said: "Auntie, I went to stay in the hotel because I have some work matters to deal with. It's more convenient to stay in the hotel."
"No, Xiao Zhou, you can't leave. Of course you will stay at home when you go home. How can you stay in a hotel?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhou, no matter how good the hotel is, can you still live as comfortably as at home?"
Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin each held Zhou Chen with one hand and refused to let Zhou Chen leave no matter what.
Zhou Chen was pulled by the two men and couldn't break away at all, so he could only look at Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou said: "Mom, Dad, let Zhou Chen stay in the hotel. I haven't been back for a long time. I have a lot to say to you. I..."
"you shut up."
Liu Guiqin forcefully suppressed Xu Hongdou, grabbed Zhou Chen, and said with a very firm attitude: "Xiao Zhou, auntie told you, you have to stay today. If you go to stay in the hotel, your uncle and I will be unhappy.
Yes, just treat this as your own home, there is no need for any burden or pressure, just like what you usually do at home, you will do here."
Although Zhou Chen came to visit her for the first time today and they met for the first time, as a mother, how could she not see that her daughter had completely fallen in love with Zhou Chen and probably couldn't live without him.
Zhou Chen is also very good to his daughter and is a very good person in all aspects. In addition, Zhou Chen has no parents. Now that he is willing and his family does not object, the marriage is basically settled, so she has already made Zhou Chen
Seeing as his future son-in-law, his attitude is naturally very enthusiastic.
In the end, Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou couldn't defeat their parents and had no choice but to stay.
Xu Hongdou said: "Zhou Chen has been drinking and cannot drive. Auntie, then I will drive you and Ke Xin back."
Aunt Liu Guisheng looked at Xu Hongdou with suspicion: "Hongdou, can you open it this late at night?"
Although they are relatives, in her eyes, male drivers are definitely more reliable than female drivers when it comes to driving.
Xu Hongdou showed dissatisfaction: "Auntie, are you looking down on others? I have had a driver's license for many years, and I drove very far on the way back. In this small county, there is absolutely no problem."
So Xu Hongdou went to see off his aunt and cousin, but Zhou Chen was left alone.
Although Zhou Chen was used to big scenes, he was still a little embarrassed to be left alone to face Xu's father and Xu's mother.
Fortunately, Xu Jianguo drank a lot, took Zhou Chen with him, and continued to brag, arm in arm, which alleviated Zhou Chen's embarrassment.
Xu Hongdou came back soon and carried Zhou Chen's suitcase up.
After washing up in the evening, Zhou Chen stayed, but he did not stay in the same room as Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou went to stay in Xu Hongmi's room, while Zhou Chen stayed in Xu Hongdou's room.
Zhou Chen took a rest early, leaving space for Xu Hongdou's family of three, while Xu Hongdou ran to his parents' room to talk to them.
Because it is an old house, although Xu Hongdou's room is not the master bedroom, it is not small. The room is full of old-fashioned furniture and tables. The color is dark and not too bright, but the room is very clean. At first glance,
You know it was cleaned more than once.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Chen did not fall asleep, but played a small game on his mobile phone.
When it was almost early in the morning, Xu Hongdou sneaked in, got into Zhou Chen's bed, and flirted with Zhou Chen for a long time, but there was no further communication. After a long while, she reluctantly left.
room.
After all, it's the first day back. I can do it, but if there is too much noise, it will be embarrassing. Zhou Chen will naturally not be so impatient.
The next morning, Zhou Chen got up early, took his own toiletries and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as he finished here, he saw Liu Guiqin coming out and starting to make breakfast.
Liu Guiqin was surprised to see Zhou Chen getting up so early.
"Xiao Zhou, didn't you sleep well? Why did you get up so early?"
"No, Auntie, I slept very well. I'm just used to it. I can't fall asleep at this point. I'm going to get up and go for a run and exercise."
Liu Guiqin smiled and said: "Yes, this is a good habit. It is much better than our Dou. She, if nothing happens, will stay in bed."
Zhou Chen said: "Eating well and sleeping well means that Hongdou is blessed."
"You sit down first while Auntie cooks and we'll have breakfast together later."
"Okay, Auntie."
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen had lived in the Xu family for several days. During these few days, he got along very well with Xu Hongdou's parents. Xu's father and mother were also very satisfied with him, and they gradually regarded him as their son-in-law.
treat.
After a few days, the neighbors all knew that Xu Hongdou had brought her boyfriend back. Every time the neighbors asked about Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin, they would respond with a smile and say that they would give them wedding candies when their daughter gets married, etc.
Zhou Chen has been helping the Xu family move in the past few days. All the large furniture in the new home has been finished. What needs to be transported here are just some scattered items, so Zhou Chen directly drives his own car to help transport it, which is very convenient.
After moving to their new home, Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin prepared another meal. They didn't plan to hold a housewarming banquet, so they just had a meal together as a family.
"Uncle, aunt, I respect you and congratulate you on your happy move."
At the dinner table, Zhou Chen raised his wine glass and toasted Xu Hongdou's parents.
Xu Jianguo laughed loudly: "Xiao Zhou's words are nice. Okay, we have received your blessing, let's do it."
Liu Guiqin said: "I want to thank you so much this time. You drove a lot of things for us and saved us a lot of trouble."
When they moved, they saw Zhou Chen's great strength. One person could do more than the three of them. Even if there were things that couldn't be accommodated in the new home, Zhou Chen could help them solve them in time, as if nothing was too difficult for them.
It's like living in Zhou Chen.
Therefore, the couple was even more satisfied with Zhou Chen, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts, thinking that their daughter was blessed and lucky to have met such a good man.
Can speak, has good looks, can make money, and works hard...
After living in Xu's house for several days, although Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou did not sleep together at night, they still took the opportunity to spend time together when Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin were not at home, which gave them a thrilling feeling.
On this day, Zhou Chen received a call from Mr. Cheng of the company, saying that there were important meetings and projects that required his presence in person, and he had to go back to the Magic City.
So he took advantage of dinner to talk to Xu Hongdou and Xu's father and Xu's mother.
"The company has something urgent and I have to go back first. Do you want me to go with you?"
When Xu Hongdou heard that Zhou Chen had something urgent to do and had to return to the Magic City first, he immediately asked with concern.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "No, I'll go there and I can handle it in a few days. I'll come back then."
Liu Guiqin said: "If there is something urgent, go and get busy first. The company's affairs are important. I have never seen a boss as idle as you. How can you always ignore it?"
Xu Jianguo also said: "Yes, go back if you have something to do. When I opened a grain and oil store, it was such a small store. I wouldn't worry if I didn't go there for a day. How can a company as big as yours not go back for several months? I'm busy first."
Business."
Perhaps they regard Zhou Chen as a family member from the bottom of their hearts, so the couple is also thinking about Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen makes more money now, it will be their daughter who will enjoy the happiness in the future.
"Hongdou, I'm going to fly this time instead of driving. This car has a foreign license plate and it's not convenient to drive in Shanghai. I'll leave it at home for you and your uncle to drive."
Xu Hongdou was about to nod, but when Xu Jianguo heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, no, how can this be possible? How can I drive such a good car? I don't dare to drive it. It hurts me even if I bump into it."
died."
Liu Guiqin also said: "Xiao Zhou, your uncle wouldn't dare to drive such a good car, so you'd better drive it back."
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle, aunt, it is really not easy to drive with this kind of foreign license plate in Shanghai. It is very troublesome when driving is restricted. Besides, I have several cars at home. When I go to and from get off work, drivers usually drive here.
There is no need for me to drive myself to pick me up; I will keep this car at home and my uncle will drive it when it is needed. If we come back with Sister Hongmi in the future, we will also have a car to drive."
Xu Hongdou also advised: "Mom, Dad, what he said is true. The number of cars in Shanghai is limited. It is really not convenient to drive this car."
"this?"
Xu Jianguo and Liu Guiqin looked at each other. Their daughter and prospective son-in-law had said this, and they could only agree.
However, they still lamented in their hearts that if Zhou Chen kept this car worth more than 2 million yuan, he would keep it as soon as he asked. He was really rich and wealthy.
They also knew that Zhou Chen was not showing off his wealth. Zhou Chen had lived in their house for several days. They also understood a lot about Zhou Chen's character. He did not behave in a arrogant and contemptuous way. Even when he saw his neighbors, he would not show off his wealth.
He was greeted with a smile and spoke politely.
Recently, because of Zhou Chen, their prospective son-in-law, the couple had received countless envious and jealous looks, which greatly satisfied their vanity.
When older people compete with their sons and daughters, if their daughters find a good son-in-law, they will be proud of themselves.
After a night's rest, Xu Hongdou drove Zhou Chen to the airport early the next morning.
After hugging Xu Hongdou goodbye, Zhou Chen boarded the plane back to Shanghai.
For the next more than a week, Zhou Chen was in Shanghai, handling company matters. He went out for a few months to play. Although he also worked online, there were still many things left for him to deal with. He was ready to deal with them all at once.
Then spend time with Xu Hongdou.
As soon as Zhou Chen left, the Xu family suddenly became much quieter. Liu Guiqin would always say a few words every time he ate.
"Dou, Xiao Zhou has been gone for a few days, and you didn't say when he would come back?"
Xu Hongdou replied helplessly: "Mom, how many times have you asked me this? I found that since I brought Zhou Chen back, you have treated him better than me."
Liu Guiqin rolled her eyes and snorted: "You kid, what are you talking about? Why do we treat him well? It's not because of you. We treat him well so that he can treat you better."
"Your mother is right, Xiao Zhou is really good, Dou, you have to be careful. Anyway, I am optimistic about him. He is much better than your eldest brother-in-law." Xu Jianguo said.
Liu Guiqin gave him a slap and scolded: "Don't say this in front of Mi, Ling Dang's father is also very good."
"Yes, yes, yes, everything you said is right."
Xu Jianguo did not refute, but he knew in his heart that the eldest son-in-law was a good person, but he was not close to them at all. He had been married to his eldest daughter for several years and had not been to the house a few times. He was usually like a boring gourd and never showed up.
I will take the initiative to call the old couple.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, although he has not yet become a son-in-law, he is really satisfied. Zhou Chen can accompany him to drink and brag, and can also play chess and fish with him. Anyway, he is very suitable for his temper.
Although he had never thought about letting his daughter take care of him, he had to consider it for the future. He felt that Zhou Chen was more reliable than his eldest son-in-law, and he might have to count on his younger daughter in the future.
Liu Guiqin scolded her husband, but her thoughts in her heart were similar to her husband's, and she even thought further than him. She felt that Zhou Chen's parents were gone, and after she married Hongdou and had children in the future, they might have to take care of the children.
