When Zhou Yan returned home, it started raining.
The windshield is covered with raindrops. She received a WeChat message from Shen Bo , asking her to drive carefully. Going further forward, they gave a simple greeting before they met on a blind date today.
Before today's blind date, Zhou Yan had no hope. After the two chatted for a few minutes, Shen Bo mentioned Beijing and Zhou Yan started chatting seriously.
Zhou Yan has worked in Beijing for seven and a half years. She has no time to fall in love and has no time to go out for a walk. She is still full of reluctance when she leaves.
Shen Bo spent a year in Beijing, and traveled all over Beijing in his spare time and talked to her about the delicious food in Beijing, which made Zhou Yan suspect that she had gone to a fake Beijing.
The first time they met, they only talked about Beijing for an afternoon.
Zhou Yan knew that night that she and him would have a story.
02
Zhou Yan's life is smooth sailing.
When he was a child, Zhou Yan's family was poor, and her parents planned to let the three sisters go to society to find a job after graduating from junior high school, and then get married one by one.
Zhou Yan is the youngest in the family, but she is the smartest and has the best grades. After graduating from junior high school, she found something to do in the town. After graduating from junior high school, Zhou Yan wanted to continue her studies. The two sisters supported her and went to school to send pocket money after paying her salary.
After graduating from high school, the two sisters supported her and finished college again.
After graduating from college, Zhou Yan never took a penny with her sister. She went to Beijing with a few classmates.
During this period, the eldest sister and the second sister got married. The eldest sister married a son who runs a shoe store. The second sister married a junior high school classmate. At first, life was pretty good, but later, there were problems.
The eldest sister is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem, and the second sister is a financial problem. The three of them have a group and chat in the group every day. No matter how tired Zhou Yan is after work, she will chat with her sisters in the group and give them tips.
In the mouth of the eldest and second sisters, Zhou Yan seemed to have learned the truth of the marriage in advance. Whether it was to marry good conditions or marry true love, life was not easy.
18 when Zhou Yan thought she would work hard to make money to buy a big house in the future, and the family of five lived together. It was not until her sisters got married one after another that she realized how naive and outrageous her thoughts were.
She works very hard in Beijing, rents a six-person room and takes three subway trips to the company, but she doesn't feel it hard at all.
She thought that she must make a lot of money. In the future, she can help her family without hesitation when encountering financial problems. Her efforts also paid off.
In the fifth year in Beijing, she was promoted to department head and finally was willing to spend money to live in a single room near the company.
But one month later, the second sister's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia , Zhou Yan almost exhausted all her savings, and the eldest sister also had a fight with her husband, had a divorce, and then she gave her money to her second sister.
Fortunately, the niece defeated leukemia and was discharged from the hospital.
But who knew that less than two years ago, her parents fell ill one after another. Her two sisters comforted her and asked her to work with peace of mind, but Zhou Yan still chose to resign and return to her hometown.
The parents are old and their bodies are declining, so she wants to spend more time with them.
The most important thing is that she knows that Beijing will not be her destination.
03
After parents gradually recovering from illness, Zhou Yan also started looking for a job.
Because of her previous resume in Beijing, she found a good job very smoothly. Everything is going well now. What her parents and sister are worried about is her major life event.
Shen Bo was introduced by his elder sister to a friend. His family is not very good but not bad. He looks the same as his appearance, not too handsome, but it is okay.
After meeting last time, the two sisters were concerned about their progress in the group.
Later, Shen Bo made an appointment with Zhou Yan several times, and she agreed. After the two had contacted each other for a month, they confirmed their relationship.
Blind dates are better than free love. It is that you don’t need a long preparation. If you think the other person is good, you can put it on the table and try to date, without ambiguity or entanglement.
But there are also bad things. The two of them are doing all the interactions between couples, but they seem to be less moved. Moreover, living at home, no matter what they do, each other's family will participate.
Although Zhou Yan has never been in love, she always feels that this is not like in love, as if they are about to get married before they are in love.
So one day, when Shen Bo asked Zhou Yan to go home for dinner, she suggested that it would be better to go out to eat.
Shen Bo agreed readily.
But unexpectedly, not long after, the eldest sister came to find Zhou Yan and said that Shen Bo's mother seemed to have ideas about her, saying that the family was ready, but she wanted to go out to eat, wasting money and so on.
Zhou Yan was simply stunned and said this to Shen Bo intact.
He told her not to think too much. His mother is pretty good, she just loves to chat while bored, and she should have no malice.
Although he said so, Zhou Yan still felt a little uncomfortable. Next time she didn't dare to ask to go out for dinner with Shen Bo, but she was not willing to be married yet and face her future parents-in-law every day.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan was reluctant to meet Shen Bo frequently. She complained to her elder sister and second sister, and at the same time envied that at least they were in love freely, had been moved, and were loved.
The eldest sister said, "It's the same when we get married."
The second sister retorted: "It's different, because if you don't get moved, you'll get married. You won't have a chance to get moved in this life."
The two sisters started a fierce discussion. Zhou Yan saw them chatting and suddenly wanted to know what kind of heartbeat is.
Shen Bo is a pragmatic and reliable person. Although her mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, overall, it is suitable for marriage in all aspects.
Just as she was looking at the starry sky outside the window, she suddenly received a call from Shen Bo asking her if she wanted to go to Beijing. He just happened to have three days of annual leave plus weekends, so he could go to five days.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. In fact, she missed Beijing quite a lot and wanted to get rid of both parents for a while. But I also thought that going out alone means they have to live together.
She was not sure if she was ready, but Shen Bo seemed to have guessed what she thought.
After they discussed the date of going to Beijing, Shen Bo asked her how to book a hotel. She suddenly blushed and held in two words for a long time: "All do."
The advantage of traveling is that from the moment she decided to travel, her mood began to improve.
Zhou Yan started this trip to Beijing with anticipation.

After getting off the plane, Zhou Yan began to be nervous.
Shen Bo booked a hotel in the city, and the price was not cheap. When she followed Shen Bo into the door, she was stunned for a while. Shen Bo actually ordered a standard room or two 1.8 meters tall beds.
Zhou Yan wanted to laugh a little, but tried her best to hold it back, both of them were a little unnatural.
Shen Bo put down his luggage, helped Zhou Yan get the slippers, and helped her put the shoes back into the shoe cabinet. The two visited the bedroom together. When they saw the bathtub, they looked at each other and avoided them.
The two of them chatted around Beijing again. When they learned that Zhou Yan had been in Beijing for so many years and had not gone to eat roast duck, Shen Bo was simply shocked.
On the evening, Shen Bo took Zhou Yan to eat the most authentic Beijing Roast Duck , took her to Houhai , Nanluoguxiang , and stunning and quiet alleys.
They held hands, and the night wind blew. Seeing a couple kissing under the moonlight, they both accelerated their pace and walked away.
Looking at the brightly lit Beijing City , and when crossing the road, Shen Bo subconsciously held her hand, which made Zhou Yan feel like she was in love.
Back at the hotel, the two took a shower, each lying on a bed, and played the movie. The two of them said a few words from time to time, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The movie was finished, and the moonlight outside the window was deep. Shen Bo stood up and pulled up the curtains. Zhou Yan suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yan said, "We are obviously in a serious relationship, why do we look like that?"
She didn't have the nerve to say the word "affective".
After saying that, Zhou Yan was upset that she shouldn't say that.
Shen Bo also smiled, and he asked her, "Then can I lie on your side?"
Zhou Yan's heart thumped wildly, and she was silent for a while before sending out a syllable from the quilt: Yes.
Shen Bo came over gently and got into her bed.
After waking up in the morning, Zhou Yan found herself leaning against Shen Bo's shoulder. She looked at the person who was still sleeping in front of her and suddenly felt that he seemed to have become more handsome.
Zhou Yan didn't know, was this considered moving, but when she thought of her long marriage life in the future, she seemed to have lost her previous fear.
It was also from that night that she and him became really close. During the five-day trip to Beijing, Shen Bo took care of her everywhere. She finally knew why those girls in love were pretentious and artificial. Some people twisted the bottle caps, and they held them across the road, and some people took care of everything properly.
On the fifth day, Zhou Yan took Shen Bo to meet a few former colleagues, and they also praised Shen Bo as a reliable person at first glance.
Five days passed, and on the plane back, looking at the white clouds outside the window, Zhou Yan clearly felt it.
Love began to grow in her heart.
05
Some love is heart-wrenching, while some love is stable.
Zhou Yan's love belongs to the latter. After going from Beijing, they spent more time alone. Shen Bo knew that Zhou Yan didn't like to go to his house often, so he took her out for dinner.
The two also agreed that they must live alone after marriage, so they can buy a house together and repay the loan together.
At the end of 0, when the wedding date of the two finally settled, something went wrong.
Shen Bo's mother, I don't know where to hear that Zhou Yan was not her parents' biological child, but picked it up, and her parents' background was not good. She specially asked Shen Bo to take Zhou Yan home, and then mentioned this matter.
Shen Bo immediately said, "Mom, where did you ask about it? Besides, does it matter?"
Shen's mother said, "Of course it matters. If there is a problem with her biological parents, will it not affect your future?"
Shen Bo was still refuting, and Zhou Yan stood up and said goodbye.
Shen Bo chased her out and grabbed her.
Zhou Yan restrained her tears, but she still couldn't help but burst out.
She was indeed adopted by her parents. When she was a child, she accidentally heard a neighbor's aunt gossip about someone, saying that she picked it up at the entrance of the hospital. Later, she asked the aunt, but the other party refused to admit it.
Later, she also confirmed from blood type that she was indeed adopted, but she never mentioned it to her parents and sister.
She has been pretending not to know. Anyway, all her love from childhood comes from her parents and sister, and they all prefer her.
If she says it, she doesn't know how to face it.
"Sorry, I think anyone will never know, so I don't know how to tell you. Will this affect our marriage? If not, why bother mentioning it?" Zhou Yan asked him.
"Of course not, I like you, it has nothing to do with your family." Shen Bo hugged her.
Shen Bo promised: "I will do it on my mother's side."
Zhou Yan nodded blankly.
After confirming that she was not her biological child, she was indeed sad for a long time, but soon she thought it clear that blood ties are not the only bond of family affection.
The parents and sister love and spoil her. She is the greatest luck she can meet them, so she has been working very hard and she wants to be the backing they can rely on.
If she had continued to stay in Beijing back then, she would have had better development, but she chose to go home and stay with her parents and sisters.
Meeting Shen Bo is probably a reward from God.
06
I don’t know how Shen Bo convinced his mother, but this matter did not end up in front of Zhou Yan’s parents. The two got married smoothly in the spring of the following year.
My parents and two sisters gathered together a large dowry, which was richer than Shen Bo's dowry.
The second sister also returned the money Zhou Yan helped her to treat the child before.
Zhou Yan doesn't want it, and her second sister glared at her, "How can you not want it? Is your money blowing from the strong wind?"
On the day of getting married, both parents cried, and the two sisters cried in silence, and Zhou Yan even cried with makeup.
My parents said that all the daughters are married now, but their family cannot be separated. From now on, Zhou Yan will be the backbone, and she will discuss matters of big and small.
After getting married, Shen Bo's mother's attitude towards Zhou Yan also improved. Even Shen Bo and Zhou Yan asked to move out, they didn't say much, just asked them to go home for dinner often.
Shen Bo of course did not ask Zhou Yan to pay for the house. He was the only son in the family. After he said he wanted to buy the house, his parents gave him some money, and his savings were enough.
is the house chosen by Zhou Yan, not too far from her mother-in-law's house or her parents' house. The decoration was determined by her style, and Shen Bo went to do it.
A year later, they moved into their new house.
The first night she lived in, she couldn't help asking Shen Bo what changed his mother's opinion.
Shen Bo said, "I just tell her all your strengths. If you refuse to marry, you will never meet such a good daughter-in-law again, and her son will not meet someone he likes so much."
Zhou Yan smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit.
07
After marriage, Zhou Yan and Shen Bo were very happy.
Nowadays, Zhou Yan is already a mother of two children. She was curious about the question of who is her biological parents, but now she has long stopped thinking about it.
She has two good sisters, good parents, and she often gets together and often misses her.
Shen Bo's goodness is not as her sisters said. He will change after marriage. He is still very good. He has no heart beats during the passionate love period, but it is ordinary with the quiet years.
The most important thing is that she clearly felt happiness.
If this is the case in life, I am very lucky.
