Zhou Shengru's Extra Story: Ganan Xiangdi (150-151) Chapter
Zhou Shengchen was woken up early in the morning by a knock on the door, and he realized in a daze that the knock was on the room where he lived. But others are here at the right time. You can't walk out of Shiyi's room in your pajamas. After the knock on the door passed, he got up and opened the door a crack to see what was going on outside.
"What's wrong with you? You act like a thief." Shi Yi asked sleepily.
"Nothing, I'm going back to the room first, you continue to sleep." Zhou Shengchen said.
"Okay." Shi Yi went to bed at midnight last night and was very sleepy now.
Zhou Shengchen sneaked back into the room. All this was really ridiculous. He changed his clothes and went downstairs. His uncle and aunt were already sitting in the living room. When they saw him, they came over and asked, "Just now, aunt asked you to have breakfast, but she said no one answered her."
"I slept deeply and didn't hear you."
"Don't you get up very early on weekdays? Why today..." asked the uncle.
"Nothing, I'm going to have breakfast first." He quickly fled to the dining table to avoid his aunt and uncle's questioning. He couldn't resist any further questions.
"Tell me, Xiaochen, is it strange to come here this time?" The uncle muttered to his wife.
"I've seen it a long time ago, and I need you to tell me. Go and ask him what's going on with Shi Yi." Auntie asked.
When Zhou Shengchen was about to finish eating, his uncle came over: "Are you full?"
"Almost."
"Okay, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, you tell me." Zhou Shengchen agreed.
"Are you and Shi Yi in love?" the uncle said straight to the point.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shengchen did not answer directly.
"If you are really in love, get married early. You are not young anymore. You don't like the girl your mother helped you fall in love with. I heard someone said last time that she was already married and had children."
The girl was really talking about Shen Zhaozhao. Zhou Shengchen smiled awkwardly: "Uncle... Shi Yi is still young."
"Not too young, she is almost twenty-two years old this year. According to Chinese law, a woman can get married when she is twenty years old. How is twenty-two years old too young?" the uncle asked again.
Zhou Shengchen was speechless. He couldn't say that he hadn't gained the approval of the other person's parents. If so, Zhou Shengchen was worried that his uncle would go directly to Zhenjiang to visit Shi Yi's parents. He could only adopt a roundabout tactic: "Don't rush this, take your time."
"I read the news, and now many girls get married in college." The uncle continued, "I like this child Shi Yi, he is well-behaved and sensible, and the two families are considered well-known. Basically, she's from your father's side, and we all know the general situation. If you marry her, her family will ask for any conditions."
Uncle looked like he was afraid that Shi Yi would run away. How worried was he that he wouldn't be able to get a wife.
"Uncle, there's no rush, there's really no rush." Zhou Shengchen didn't know what to say.
The two were talking when Shi Yi came over. When uncle Zhou Shengchen saw Shi Yi, he didn't say much. He just said to her kindly: "Shi Yi, what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
"I can do anything. There are some on the table. I just eat what's on the table." She was about to After eating, his uncle asked his aunt to remove the steamed buns and rice porridge on the table, "These are cold, let aunt cook you something hot."
Shi Yi could only say oh, looked at Zhou Shengchen, then looked at his uncle, and smiled awkwardly.
"Shiyi, you have to come here more often to see us, do you understand?" said the uncle.
"I know, grandpa."
"If Xiaochen treats you badly, just call us and tell us, and I will teach him a lesson for you. He is careful, but he is not very talkative and takes everything to heart."
Shi Yi felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened, so he could only nodded awkwardly. Fortunately, the aunt brought the hot rice porridge quickly, and she lowered her head to eat, so she was not questioned further.
After breakfast, Zhou Shengchen chatted with his uncle and aunt for a while before getting ready to leave.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he found that his aunt was carrying many things and putting them in his car.
"What is this?" Zhou Shengchen asked.
"They are not for you, but for Shi Yi. She has a hard time studying. These are bird's nests sea cucumbers . If you have nothing to do, just stew them for her to eat." Auntie said.
What does it mean to have nothing to do? Although Zhou Shengchen did not take over the company, he was working seriously. But he didn't bother to argue: "I know, I can stew it."
As soon as Shiyi got in the car, he glanced at Zhou Shengchen uneasily: "Does grandpa and grandma know about us?"
"My aunt worked in the Women's Federation when she was young. She can see through it at a glance." Zhou Shengchen said, but he did not deliberately hide it from them.
"Then what did they say?" Shi Yi asked uneasily. She would also be worried that she would not be recognized by his family.
"You really want to know?" Zhou Shengchen hesitated.
"Speak quickly." Shi Yi said anxiously.
"They asked us to get married early." When Zhou Shengchen said this, he took a special look at Shi Yi's expression, and found that she was stunned.
"No, aren't they against us?" Shi Yi hesitated.
"You are so good, why do you object?" Zhou Shengchen said with a smile.
Shi Yi smiled sheepishly: "Then what did you answer?"
"I said, don't worry." Zhou Shengchen replied. When driving out of the villa area, he suddenly saw a 24-hour convenience store. Could this be the convenience store Shi Yi mentioned last night? He stopped the car and said to Shi Yi, "I got out of the car to buy a bottle of water."
Before Shi Yi could react, he had already gotten out of the car. Zhou Shengchen went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of mineral water. He scanned it carefully and found that BYT was actually sold. He was a bachelor in the past and would not pay attention to this. This time it was different. After staring at it for several times, he took the water to the counter to pay.
"Isn't there water in the car?" Shi Yi saw him buying another bottle of mineral water.
"I have a sore throat. I want to drink something iced." Zhou Shengchen took a big sip.
Shi Yi was amused by his appearance: "You look like you are sneaking around when you buy water."
Zhou Shengchen smiled awkwardly: "No way." He continued to drive, while Shi Yi remained silent.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"I'm thinking, why does your uncle want us to get married?" Shi Yi was very curious about this.
"Elders, they always hope that their children will get married soon. And before my mother died, she asked my uncle to take good care of me." Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said, "I used to be a very willful child."
"Then are you still willful now?" Shi Yi asked.
"I no longer have the capital to be willful." Zhou Shengchen smiled bitterly, "I am willful, and no one cares about me anymore." The older one grows, the more one realizes that being willful comes with a price, "You don't have to feel pressure because of this, they push them, we live up to ours."
"I know." Shi Yi responded, she really couldn't imagine that she was only 21 years old, and she would be pushed to get married. She also couldn't imagine what it would be like to start a family with him.
Time passed like this day by day, and the semester was coming to an end soon. After a month of dark review preparations, Shi Yi finally completed the final exam for his sophomore year. Winter vacation was coming soon, and she was thinking in her mind that her relationship with Zhou Shengchen could not be said to have developed by leaps and bounds in the past few months, but it was progressing in an orderly manner, so should she tell her parents about their relationship?
She hesitated for a while, but decided to inform them on the phone first to let them be mentally prepared.
"Hey, Mom, I'll be home for vacation in a few days." Shi Yi called her mother.
"Okay, mom is waiting for you. Have you bought your ticket?" Shi Yi's mother was in a good mood when she heard that her daughter was going home.
"I didn't buy a ticket. Uncle Chen said he would drive me back to Zhenjiang."
"Zhou Shengchen will take you home? Let's forget it. He is very busy at work and we can't bother him. Otherwise, I will ask your father to buy a ticket for you." Shi Yi's mother said.
"Actually, there is something I want to tell you. Zhou Shengchen and I are in a relationship..." Shi Yi hesitated for a long time and finally confessed to her mother. Hearing Shi Yi's words, Shi Yi's mother was shocked. It took her a while to react and asked: "Are you and Zhou Shengchen in love?"
Shi Yi: "Yes, mom, you and dad shouldn't be against us. He is a very good person, you should know that."
"No. Yes, Shi Yi, the child is like this. You are still young and love is not in a hurry. Your biggest task is to go to school. Do you understand? "Mom, I have not delayed my studies. I have been studying hard. I am confident that I will do well in the exam."
Shi Yi's mother fell into a long silence. She was a stranger, so why couldn't she understand what her daughter meant. The right time is to identify Zhou Shengchen. When her daughter grew up and had her own ideas, she knew in her heart that they were both in Shanghai, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't.
"Tell your mother honestly, how far have you developed, and have you protected yourself?" Shi Yi's mother asked.
Shi Yi was very nervous and explained awkwardly: "Mom, he has always respected me." Zhou Shengchen only lost control a little once in the villa, and he has always followed the rules since then.
Shi Yi's mother felt relieved after hearing this. After all, she is a girl and is more vulnerable to injury. She thought about it, but couldn't explain clearly on the phone for a moment: "Shi Yi, let's talk about it when you come back."
When she got home in the evening, she had to discuss with Shi Yi's father what should she do? Is it a ruthless way to beat the couple, or is it just what they want.
