Chapter 399: New family, new room, register

 "Zhou, Zhou Chen?"

Zhou Guofu's voice even trembled, and his face was filled with joy and shock.

The same is true for Sun Yi. Zhou Chen suddenly wants to change his name, and his surname is still Zhou. What does this mean?

Zhou Chen pretended to have a puzzled expression and asked: "Doesn't it sound good?"

"It sounds good, sounds good, sounds very good."

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi were as happy as children at this time. In their opinion, if Zhou Chen changed his surname to Zhou, it would be equivalent to recognizing them. As for the name, they didn't care.

The reason why they wanted to adopt a boy was to leave an heir to the Zhou family. And if the adopted child was not allowed to change his surname to Zhou, how could he be considered a heir to the Zhou family?

So after adopting Zhou Chen, they were thinking about how to get closer to Zhou Chen so that Zhou Chen could change his surname to Zhou.

But they never expected that before they raised it, this child would actually raise the question first. Not only did he take the initiative to say that his surname was Zhou, he even thought of a name.

Zhou Chen showed an "innocent" smile.

"Since it sounds good, I will call you this name from now on. Uncle and aunt, you can no longer call me Xiao Ming. You have to call me this name."

Sun Yi immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Auntie, I will call you Xiaochen from now on, okay?"

"good."

After Zhou Chen said he would change his name, Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi became obviously more affectionate towards Zhou Chen, as if Zhou Chen had truly become their son.

As for Zhou Chen still calling them uncle and aunt, they don't care at all. They believe that as time goes by, Zhou Chen will call them mom and dad sooner or later as long as they get along continuously.

Zhou Guofu held his wife's hand, and both of them smiled. At this moment, they felt that the future was full of light.

Naturally, the roads at this time cannot be compared with those a few decades later. The main road detoured around small roads, and the small roads detoured around the main road. The distance was nearly 100 kilometers, and it took more than three hours to arrive.

"Xiaochen, we are home."

Sun Yi pulled Zhou Chen out of the van, while Zhou Guofu was paying the bill with the driver.

Zhou Chen looked up and saw that this should be a nice community, with rows of five- and six-story buildings. The walls of the buildings were basically all white, and there was no difference.

Sun Yi pointed to a six-story building in front of her and said to Zhou Chen: "My uncle and aunt live on the third floor, 301, and that will be your home from now on."

Today's buildings are not like later. The first floor is not a garage or a facade room, but actual residents on the first floor. The floors are also counted from the first floor.

It's a six-story building, and the third floor is right in the middle. It's a good location, and it's also on the east side, so the sunshine is definitely good.

In this era, those who can live in a building cannot say that their conditions are very good, but they are definitely better than most people.

Zhou Guofu had already settled the bill with the van driver and came over carrying a big bag.

This bag is Zhou Chen's bag. It contains all Zhou Chen's things. There aren't many things, but there are a lot of scattered things in it.

"Let's go home, Xiaochen."

Sun Yi stretched out her hand, placed it in front of Zhou Chen, and said with a smile on her face.

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and placed it on Sun Yi's palm.

Sun Yi's smile suddenly became even brighter. She took Zhou Chen's hand and said to Zhou Guofu: "Old Zhou, Xiao Chen, let's go home."

As soon as the three of them came to the stairs, a woman walked towards them. When she saw the Zhou couple, she immediately said hello.

"Professor Zhou, Teacher Sun, where are you going? Who is this child?"

Sun Yi smiled and replied: "Sister Hong, we just came back from outside. This is my son, Zhou Chen, Xiaochen, and this is Aunt Huang."

Zhou Chen shouted obediently: "Hello, Aunt Huang."

Huang Hong was obviously stunned, and it took him a while to react, "Okay, okay, Xiaochen, right? He's so handsome."

Zhou Guofu didn't mean to say more and said with a smile: "Sister Hong, let's go up first."

"okay."

After the three members of the Zhou family went upstairs, Huang Hong still didn't come back to her senses.

"What's going on? Don't they have any children? How come they suddenly have a son? He's so old."

They were all neighbors in the same building. She knew a little about the situation in Professor Zhou's family, so she was very puzzled by Zhou Chen's appearance.

Zhou Guofu skillfully unlocked the door, and Sun Yi led Zhou Chen in first. After the couple put down their things, they took Zhou Chen to visit the room.

"Xiaochen, this will be your home from now on. This is the living room, and the TV is right here. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV from now on."

Zhou Chen's eyes quickly glanced around and found that it was actually a three-bedroom apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms, covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

This 100-square-meter house is different from that of more than ten years ago. There is no elevator and the shared area is very small. It is not surprising that a 100-square-meter house has a usable area of ​​90.

The TV in the living room is also a large color TV, more than 20 inches tall, and there are everything you need, such as a sofa, a coffee table, etc., and it's also very neat.

Sun Yi continued to pull Zhou Chen to introduce: "This is the restaurant. If you want to eat in the future, just tell your uncle and aunt, and they will cook it for you. This is the uncle and aunt's room, and this is the uncle's study. The rest of the room,

This is the room we prepared for you. Now it only has a bed and a table. Wait until tomorrow when Auntie goes to buy you toys and a lot of things to fill the room, okay?"

"good."

Zhou Chen did not refuse. Although he had no idea about toys, Sun Yi worked so hard to introduce and please him just to get closer to him. If he refused, it might make Sun Yi think too much.

Sun Yi told Lao Zhou: "Lao Zhou, please take out Xiaochen's things and put them in the room. I'll go cook."

Then he said softly to Zhou Chen: "Xiao Chen, I will take you to the living room to watch TV for a while. The food will be ready soon."

"Um."

Zhou Chen looked at the turned on color TV and was still very interested because he had not been exposed to this kind of color TV for many years.

The last time I saw it, it was in a world not as good as yours. That world was also set in the 1990s, but because it was in the capital Yanjing, it was much more prosperous than here.

Today's TVs use antennas, and you can search for many TV stations. Sun Yi tuned for a while and found a station that played cartoons.

"Xiaochen, look at it first. This is the remote control. If you want to change channels, just press this."

Sun Yi gave Zhou Chen a rough lesson, then hurried to the kitchen and started cooking.

Zhou Chen took the remote control and immediately started changing channels. He quickly tuned to a local TV station that broadcast news, and then started watching it carefully.

The information in the orphanage was too congested, and there was basically no news inside. Now that there was a TV, he certainly wanted to know more about the local situation.

Zhou Guofu packed up his room and came out. He was surprised when he saw Zhou Chen looking at the news seriously with a small face.

"Xiaochen, can you understand this?"

Zhou Chen asked smoothly: "Is it difficult?"

But then he realized that he was not an adult now, but a six-year-old child, so he said, "Just take a look."

Zhou Guofu didn't hesitate and sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"Would you like me to tune a cartoon for you?"

"No, I'll just take a look."

More than half an hour later, Sun Yi served all the prepared meals.

"Xiaochen, it's time to eat. Let's try auntie's cooking."

At the dinner table, neither Zhou nor his wife ate. Instead, they put a lot of things in Zhou Chen's bowl and looked at Zhou Chen nervously.

Zhou Chen took two bites, then looked at the two of them and said, "It's very delicious, Auntie, the food you cooked is much more delicious than the food in the orphanage."

Sun Yi suddenly beamed and said happily: "If it's delicious, eat more. Come, Auntie will pick up some food for you."

After dinner, it was night soon. Sun Yi took the initiative to help Zhou Chen wash up, then put him on the bed and told stories to coax Zhou Chen to sleep.

During the process of doing these things, Zhou Chen did not refuse. He would do whatever Sun Yi arranged.

Although this was very awkward, he couldn't bear to stop it when he saw Sun Yi's happy look.

After Zhou Chen fell asleep, Sun Yi left the room quietly, closed the door, and returned to the master bedroom.

Zhou Guofu, who was reading a book, saw his wife coming in, put the book down and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Um."

Sun Yi nodded, got into bed, and leaned against Zhou Guofu.

"Dean Xie is right. This child is very sensible and obedient. I originally thought that after adopting a child, it would take a lot of effort to slowly train it and get rid of some bad habits, but we got along today.

From the looks of it, this kid is really mature and easy to take care of."

Zhou Guofu said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this child is more mature than ordinary children, mainly because he is smart, has superior intelligence, and is a genius."

"Well, he is indeed very smart, but he is not very close to us."

Speaking of this, Sun Yi couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Guofu said: "This is a normal reaction. We have only known him for a day. If he can get close to us so quickly, it would be too abnormal. Those children in the orphanage before tried hard to get close to us."

, but in fact, it’s more of a desire to please and want to leave with us, Xiaochen, this is a normal child’s reaction.”

"What we want is a son who can live with us forever and be a true relative, not a son who only wants to please us but is very fragile and sensitive at heart."

"Right."

Sun Yi thought the same thing.

"His willingness to change his name should be a sign of his willingness to get close to us. Maybe he doesn't know how to get close to us yet."

Zhou Guofu nodded and said: "Yes, don't forget that Dean Xie told us that he had been adopted and abandoned. He must have been psychologically hurt and scared, but he didn't show it, so we can't force him too much.

Take your time."

"Um."

Sun Yi agreed with her husband. She was an orphan. She was abandoned once and then again. If there is no problem, then there is a problem.

"By the way, Xiaochen has reached elementary school age, but if he wants to go to school, he still needs a household registration. We must get his household registration as soon as possible."

Zhou Guofu: "That's no problem. I happen to have a classmate who works in the Public Security Bureau. If I say hello to him, he should be able to help us get it done soon. But is his name really Zhou Chen?"

"Of course, if we don't agree with the name this child chose, he will definitely feel uncomfortable; besides, it has our last name anyway, so it doesn't really matter what it is called. What's important is that he has what he wants.

Into the heart of our family.”

Sun Yi has no requirements for names. In her opinion, Zhou Chen can change his surname and name, which is already the best result. Why do they have to choose another one.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."

"After the household registration is completed, he can go to school. Dean Xie said that his personality is a bit withdrawn. After going to school, he will come into contact with more children, so it should change."

"But it's been more than two months since the first semester. Can we arrange for him to join another class?"

"I don't think there is any problem. You have also seen that his intelligence is far higher than that of children of the same age. Even if he is added to a new class, he should be able to adapt quickly. Besides, we still have you and me at home. We will give more help when the time comes. It will definitely not help.

question."

"Then it's settled."

"Tomorrow we will get the household registration first, and then go to the mall to buy some things for Xiaochen. I think his clothes are already old. When he gets to our house, there should be a new atmosphere. We will change them all for him."

"No problem, I should still have enough money. If it's not enough, you can withdraw it again."

"…………"

This night, Zhou Chen slept very soundly. It can be said that it was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had since time travel.

He used to share a room with other children, but now he finally has a room by himself.

Early the next morning, after Zhou Chen had breakfast, he followed the Zhou family and his wife out.

Naturally, I didn't make much time to say hello to my neighbors along the way. These neighbors were very surprised when they saw Zhou Chen.

Because the Zhou family and his wife are relatively famous in this area. After all, they are a university professor and a high school teacher. They have a good reputation and conditions, and are relatively respected.

It's just that the neighbors knew that the couple had no children. If a child suddenly appeared, they would definitely be curious and surprised.

Zhou Chen is naturally different from ordinary children. Even when he faced all kinds of strange looks, it did not affect him. He followed the Zhou couple along the way and walked calmly, saying hello when it was time to say hello.

"Xiao Chen, let's take you to apply for household registration first. You need a new household registration now. Are you sure your name is Zhou Chen?"

On the way, Sun Yi talked about the household registration, and then asked Zhou Chen for confirmation.

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Yeah."

So the three of them went to the police station. Because they had acquaintances, they quickly registered and applied at the household registration department.

Because Zhou Chen is an adopted child, it is not that easy to join the Zhou family's household registration. Even if Zhou Guofu finds someone, it still needs a period of review.

After registering various forms, the Zhou couple took Zhou Chen to a large shopping mall in the city and started shopping.

It was the first time for the Zhou family to buy things for their children. They were very excited and wanted to buy whatever they saw. They spent a whole day shopping outside, and when they came home, they carried a lot of big and small bags.

heap.
