Chapter 660 The eldest son’s first birthday party, jealous Cheng Jianjun
"Congratulations."
"Zhou Chen, congratulations to you. You are the first among us to have a son."
"Yeah, let alone a son, there is still a bachelor at our table."
"Hahaha……"
Today is Zhou Chen's son's first birthday party, and all the educated youth classmates who are close to him are here to congratulate him.
There were two tables of these people, and when Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan came over to toast, they were all laughing and congratulating each other.
Just as he was talking, he got a little off track, and finally everyone's eyes fell on one of them.
Han Chunming, who was being watched by everyone, even though he was very thick-skinned, was still very embarrassed and stared at everyone with anger in his eyes.
"Why don't you get married earlier than me? What's the big deal? How dare you laugh at me?"
These two tables were all men, with a total of twenty people. Han Chunming was the only one who was not married and had no partner, so he was the one everyone laughed at.
Among their group of educated youths, the youngest ones are over thirty years old. Even if they were delayed for three years by jumping in the queue, there were many years after they returned to the city. Even if some of them were admitted to college, they all got married soon.
.
Even Yang Huajian, who had broken off his engagement once, got married, and Mao Tutu, who had no luck with women, also got married.
Only Han Chunming, who has always been very popular with women, is not married. If everyone doesn't laugh at him, who is laughing at him?
But everyone present also knows why Han Chunming is not married. Who doesn't know the story of his and Su Meng's love and death?
Lu Hong smiled and said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, let me tell you, you are Chunming's brother-in-law now, and I don't know how to help your brother-in-law."
"Lu Hong, tell me, how can I, the brother-in-law, help?"
Zhou Chen was not afraid of Lu Hong's provocation at all and asked instead.
"Help Chunming deal with Su Meng, haha..."
Everyone also laughed. Although they were not familiar with Su Meng, they had heard what kind of person Su Meng was. They were just joking with Zhou Chen when they said this.
"I won't talk to you anymore, we still have to toast, you can do whatever you want, Chunming, please entertain everyone."
"Okay, okay, you can leave quickly."
Han Chunming waved his hand to Zhou Chen impatiently. Just because of today's birthday party, he had been told by his old mother for several days that as soon as he came home, he would be looking for a partner, looking for a partner, looking for a partner...
These days, his ears have been ringing. It's not easy to get together with friends to relax, and of course he doesn't want to be disturbed.
Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan toasted table after table, talking to their relatives and friends with smiles on their faces.
It has been three years since he married Han Chunyan. Just last year, Han Chunyan gave birth to his first child, a boy.
When the child was born last year, the elders of the Zhou family and the Han family were very happy.
Zhou Liangping and Zhou Yi were happy because the birth of this child meant that their old Zhou family had children and that the old Zhou family could pass on the family.
Mother Han was happy because her daughter had given birth to a son for Zhou Chen, and her status was stable. These days, the idea of favoring sons over daughters is still quite serious.
Especially for a wealthy family like Zhou Chen, Mother Han felt that Zhou Chen must value her son, so she had this idea.
As everyone knows, Zhou Chen has never had this idea. The elders in the family may favor boys over girls, but he thinks that men and women are the same, and they are all of their own kind anyway.
Zhou Chen has experienced birthday banquets like this countless times, so he can handle them very easily.
Han Chunyan, on the other hand, had a busy day and had to take care of her children, so she went to bed early in the evening.
Zhou Chen didn't feel sleepy, so he went to the east wing to study the antiques he had collected.
More than two years have passed, and he has never stopped collecting antiques. During this period, he collected two more antiques that met the system requirements, both of which were from the Song Dynasty.
One of them is a weapon. According to the systematic identification, it is actually the sword of the famous Song Dynasty general Yue Fei.
Yue Fei's name is definitely famous in the country. Zhou Chen is not sure what kind of weapons Yue Fei uses, but it is normal for a general to carry a sword.
When Zhou Chen first got this sword, there was still a little problem. Later, he asked someone to repair it. Now it has been restored to its original state. It is a sharp sword, but it is not as good as the legendary magic weapons that can cut iron like clay.
Up, naturally it is far inferior.
He guessed that the main reason why this sword was recognized by the system was because of its owner Yue Fei.
This also allowed him to understand that the value standard of the system is not necessarily based on money, but also attaches great importance to the meaning and story of antiques.
In addition to the antiques recognized by the system, Zhou Chen also collected dozens of other antiques in this east wing room. All of them did not meet the system standards, but they were indeed genuine antiques, so he put them together regularly.
In order to obtain antiques, he took Han Chunyan to buy them several times before, hoping to take advantage of her luck and find more treasures.
It's a pity that the final result made him realize that he was just whimsical.
After all, picking up mistakes is just picking up mistakes. You can't be so lucky every time.
After staying in the east wing for a while, Zhou Chen quietly returned to the room and saw his wife and son sleeping soundly. Then he took off his clothes and lay down next to Han Chunyan.
The sound of him falling asleep aroused Han Chunyan's reaction. She opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw it was Zhou Chen, she closed her eyes tiredly.
The child woke up twice during the night and made a fuss for a while. Han Chunyan coaxed the child away without letting Zhou Chen get up.
Han Chunyan resigned from the factory three months after she was pregnant, and has been staying at home since then.
At the beginning, she didn't adapt very well, but after Zhou Chen gave her five hundred yuan a month, she felt completely settled and no longer thought about going to work.
Domestic women in this era are not like many women in later generations who feel that career is more important than family.
Nowadays, the vast majority of women are family-oriented. If the money earned by a man can support the family, most women will be housewives at home, giving birth to children, taking care of the elderly, etc.
Although Han Chunyan has no elderly people to take care of, her children are still young, so she can still be busy at home alone. As long as Zhou Chen goes home, she can spare a lot of time to rest.
During dinner in the evening, Han Chunyan said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I took the child to my mother for a day today, and she said we would have dinner there the day after tomorrow."
"What's wrong? Is there something going on at home?"
"My mother didn't say anything either. I guess it was because of Xiao Wu's affairs. This kid made my mother worried to death."
After Han Chunyan and Zhou Chen got married and had children, all four of the five children in the Han family were considered consummated, but only one, Han Chunming, was left.
Thirty-three years old, she is still single. As an old mother, Mother Han is of course eager to get her youngest son married.
It's a pity that Han Chunming and Su Meng are at odds. Neither of them is willing to give in. They are just in a stalemate. If you don't fall in love, I won't fall in love either. Let's see who can outlast the other.
The two of them fought very well, but it made the adults of both families panic to death.
For this matter, Han's mother mobilized the whole family more than once, but every time Han Chunming said something nice, but never heard it.
His two sisters tried to help him a lot and wanted to take him on a blind date, but he pushed them away every time.
Zhou Chen said: "I think it's useless for you to be anxious. In my opinion, he and Su Meng have spent their lives together. They are less than fifty years old, so they probably won't be able to get married."
"Bullshit."
Han Chunyan glared at Zhou Chen dissatisfied: "You're still in your fifties, don't talk nonsense. If my mother hears this, she will go crazy. If you are really in your fifties, why do you still get married? You can become a monk."
Forget it, monk."
In her opinion, it is impossible to get married for the first time in her fifties. Although her younger brother is a promiscuous person, he has not reached that level yet.
Zhou Chen laughed. His wife had a good brain. It was quite interesting to think about Han Chunming becoming a monk.
An old man in his fifties and an old woman in his fifties are indeed an anecdote.
Han Chunyan murmured: "What's so good about Su Meng? I don't know what exactly Xiao Wu is obsessed with her for. There are so many more beautiful girls than her."
Su Meng is indeed a flower in their alley, but no matter what, she is already in her early thirties, and she is still not comparable to the young girls.
But it happened that Han Chunming followed her, which made everyone in the Han family helpless.
"Then you wait for me at home tomorrow. I will come back from get off work and drive you there."
Although he hasn’t bought the house yet, Zhou Chen has already driven the car, a classic Crown 122, which he bought just a few months ago.
Han Chunyan said: "We are quite close to that place, so we don't need to drive. It's quite troublesome."
"It's okay. If it's just the two of us, that's it. We still have kids. The weather isn't very good these days. Just in case, I'd better drive there."
Zhou Chen knew that Han Chunyan was reluctant to part with a new car, but to him, a car was just a consumable. Once he bought it, he drove it. Is it possible that he still kept it?
"Okay then, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
Two days later in the afternoon, Zhou Chen finished his last class and did not stop at the school. He said hello to his colleagues and left.
"Teacher Zhou, it's time to get off work." "Yes, let's go now."
"Teacher Zhou, don't forget to lead a class for me next week." "No problem."
"Teacher Zhou……"
After teaching at the school for three years, Zhou Chen's interpersonal relationships are still very good. From the leaders to the students, everyone has a good impression of him.
Zhou Chen drove the Crown and drove on the main road. In Yanjing now, there are still very few vehicles and the roads are very smooth. Even after entering the alley, it is more difficult to drive. The main reason is that the road is narrow and there are more people coming and going.
.
After arriving home, Zhou Chen found that Han Chunyan was already ready, so the two of them packed their things, hugged their children, and headed to Han's house.
Driving all the way to the entrance of the Han family's compound, it attracted a lot of attention, because this was Zhou Chen's first time driving here.
In this alley, no one owns a car yet, so when Zhou Chen's car drove in, it naturally attracted countless eyes.
As soon as Zhou Chen got off the car, he heard a sour remark.
"Hey, isn't this Zhou Chen? When did you get into the car?"
Zhou Chen turned around and saw Cheng Jianjun standing next to the car with a face full of envy and jealousy, his eyes constantly scanning his crown 122, with an expression that made him want to snatch it away.
Zhou Chen opened the car door, helped Han Chunyan out, and then said, "I'm just a university teacher. How can I afford a car? This car belongs to my sister."
His sister Zhou Yi is the owner of a small commodity store in Zhoushi. This is something that everyone in the compound where the Han family lives in knows.
Everyone in Yanjing City knows how popular Zhou's Commodity Store has been in recent years, so no one will think there is a problem if Zhou Yi can afford a private car.
And Zhou Chen is Zhou Yi's only biological brother, so it is normal for Zhou Chen to drive the car.
So Cheng Jianjun was just envious and jealous, but he didn't suspect anything about Zhou Chen.
Cheng Jianjun said in a fake tone: "It's better to be a university teacher, especially since you are a teacher at Peking University. Unlike me, I am a deputy section chief in the Inspection Department and work hard all day long."
How could Zhou Chen not hear the show off in his tone, and felt disdainful in his heart.
"You are being humble. Who doesn't know that the Inspection Section is the real power department and has great power?"
"There, there, there is no comparison with you."
"I'm sorry, Cheng Jianjun, let's take the kids in first and we'll talk later."
Watching Zhou Chen's family of three walk into the courtyard, Cheng Jianjun couldn't help but glance at the Crown 122 parked at the door, his eyes full of fire.
"Who are you? You just have a good sister and a good uncle. Without them, who are you?"
In Cheng Jianjun's eyes, Zhou Chen is as hateful as Han Chunming. Even though Zhou Chen graduated from Peking University, he still looks down on him. He feels that Zhou Chen only relies on his uncle and sister to become so prestigious. In terms of ability and ability, he doesn't think he is better than Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chencha.
"Jianjun, what are you muttering about here?"
A car bell rang, and Cai Xiaoli came back from get off work. She was very surprised to see Cheng Jianjun staring at the car at the door.
"Hey, why is there a car at the entrance of our courtyard?"
Cheng Jianjun snorted coldly: "It was Zhou Chen who drove here. This guy knows how to show off. It's just a car, and it's not his own. He drove here just to show off."
Cai Xiaoli heard the displeasure in Cheng Jianjun's tone and shook her head helplessly. She knew that Cheng Jianjun had always regarded Han Chunming and Zhou Chen as imaginary enemies, and now that she saw Zhou Chen driving a private car, she certainly felt unhappy.
"What do you care about him? As long as we work hard, we will be able to afford a car before long."
Cheng Jianjun said: "Yes, I will definitely buy a better one than his car when the time comes."
Cai Xiaoli said: "Zhou Chen and the others are back. It seems that the Han family will be lively again tonight."
"Humph, you know how to show off. In our yard, the Han family has the most troubles."
Cheng Jianjun was very unhappy. There were several families in their yard, but the Han family had the most children, and they would come back every now and then, so it was more lively than other families.
"Let's go home."
Cai Xiaoli pulled Cheng Jianjun away, fearing that Cheng Jianjun would say something unpleasant again and make the relationship between the two parties even more tense.
Before Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan entered the house with their children in their arms, Mother Han came out to greet them.
"Oh, my great grandson is back. Come, let grandma hug him."
Mother Han took the child from Han Chunyan's arms, her face full of love.
Although she has five children, the eldest left home early. Later, when the children were born, the eldest daughter-in-law took care of them, not to mention the eldest daughter. There was no need for her at all. The second son and the eldest son
The situation is similar, it’s the woman who makes the decision.
So Mother Han has never brought up any grandchildren so far.
On the other hand, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan lived not far away and Han Chunyan often brought her children back, so she spent more time with Zhou Xuanyu and loved her grandson especially.
Several people walked into the house. Han Chunyan saw that there was no one in the house, so she asked: "Mom, brother and sister, haven't they come yet?"
"Nope."
"What about Xiaowu? Isn't he at home too?"
"How can I control him now? I don't know where he has gone, but I told him that he will definitely come back during dinner tonight. If he dares not to come back, I will break his legs."
Speaking of Han Chunming, Mother Han was full of resentment. She kicked out the eldest and second eldest child just for Han Chunming, but this brat didn't give her any credit.
I have been busy with moving these past few days and have been quite busy.
