Chapter 1653: Finally Married, 20 Years Later!

On the plane, Zhou Chen and Han Shu sat together, leaning against each other. Han Shu held Zhou Chen's arm tightly, unwilling to let go for a second.

The moment they returned to Shanghai, Zhou Chen and Han Shu took their luggage, got on a taxi, and returned to Zhou Chen's house as quickly as possible.

Back here again, Han Shu held Zhou Chen's hand and looked around carefully. Seeing that the house was clean and tidy, she smiled.

She is a person who loves cleanliness. A clean environment can make her feel comfortable, so seeing Zhou Chen clean the house, she is very satisfied in her heart, which also shows that Zhou Chen is also a person who loves cleanliness, and it also shows that they will not have differences on such things.

Because she really wants to be with Zhou Chen forever, she is very concerned about the running-in of the two in life. Even if she is just in love for the first time, she is not a girl of 17 or 18 years old after all. What's more, the two of them talked about marriage, so she naturally has more things to consider.

After looking around, the eyes of the two met.

In the short time of this summer vacation, the relationship between the two people heated up rapidly. Now that they left Linqi Oilfield, they completely let go. The feelings that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled and broke out in an instant.

As soon as they entered the room, the two of them stuck together. There was only each other in their eyes, releasing their emotions and enthusiasm.

…………

It has been three days since she returned to Shanghai. Han Shu still did not go home, but lived with Zhou Chen, living in the world of two people she had been looking forward to for a long time.

The two of them were also frank with each other, without any secrets. The release of emotions also allowed their relationship to develop further and become a truly close couple.

The price was that the tired Han Shu did not go out a few times in these three days. Zhou Chen served her cooking and eating. She spent most of her time lying down, or sticking to Zhou Chen, hugging Zhou Chen, like a clingy little goblin.

Han Shu, who had just broken through the relationship, was the most clingy at this time, but Zhou Chen liked her clingy attachment and doted on her very much, which also gave Han Shu both spiritual and physical satisfaction, and her love for Zhou Chen deepened.

Han Shu stayed with Zhou Chen for five days, and then had to go home first under the desperate calls from her parents.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to go with her and confess to her parents, but was stopped by Han Shu.

"Don't worry, I just got home, this matter will be slow, wait until I find a job, and then you can go to our house after a while."

It's not that she didn't want Zhou Chen to go, but she felt that Zhou Chen was only 20 years old and was still in college. If he went at this time, his parents would definitely not be happy, so she wanted to wait until she found a job and stabilized before taking it slowly.

Although she was determined that Zhou Chen only wanted to be with Zhou Chen in this life, she didn't want to have a gap with her parents, so she decided to take it slow first.

Zhou Chen could understand her thoughts and naturally had no objection. In the relationship between men and women, if the man is six or seven years older than the woman, it is definitely not a problem in the eyes of the woman's parents, but if the man is six or seven years younger than the woman, most of the woman's parents will instinctively reject it. After all, women's flowering period is much shorter than men.

Zhou Chen never thought that he was so morally noble, but he felt that he did not do badly in respecting others, especially his own woman.

Han Shu's idea was not wrong. He knew Han Shu's worries. Although he felt that he could handle it, Han Shu didn't know that because she took it too seriously, she would be nervous and wanted to make more preparations before letting Zhou Chen come to her door.

Han Shu reluctantly took her luggage home, but she only stayed at home for two days, and then she used the excuse of finding a job to ask Zhou Chen to go with her during the day to play while looking for a job.

She applied for several middle schools, and finally it was Han Shu's parents who made the effort, and Han Shu found her own teacher in school to help, and finally applied for an English teacher at the Foreign Language Middle School Affiliated to Shanghai Normal University.

The only thing that Han Shu was not satisfied with was that it was far from Zhou Chen, about 50 to 60 kilometers away, and it took two hours to get there.

However, Zhou Chen did not think there was any problem. In his opinion, a distance of dozens of kilometers was not a distance at all. If there was a car, he could easily get there. Moreover, he was in college now, but he might not be here in the future, so Han Shu had a higher priority to find a good job.

Time flies, and a year has passed.

Zhou Chen has also become a junior student, and Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao have also come to the last year of junior college. The study of junior college is still very easy. There are almost no courses in the junior college. Now they have begun to prepare graduation papers and find internship units.

Of course, they can continue to study and consider upgrading from junior college to undergraduate, but Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao have no idea in this regard. They are not going to continue studying, but start thinking about internships.

Li Si really wanted to go back to Linqi Oilfield, but Cheng Miaomiao didn't want to go back. After seeing the big world outside, she no longer wanted to return to the small oilfield base, so Li Si listened to Cheng Miaomiao without any opinion, and decided to stay in Shanghai to develop together.

However, although the two of them had been in Shanghai for more than two years, neither of them had strong opinions, but they were not afraid because they had foreign aid.

So they came to Zhou Chen specifically to ask for advice. Zhou Chen happened to have an idea to start his own small business, so he told them his opinions. It was only 2001, and physical business was the mainstream. Considering that Cheng Miao Neither Miao nor Li Si were professionals. They had spent more than two years in college just dawdling around, so they were given a simple job.

He will provide the money to open a milk tea shop, and he will be the boss. Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si will be responsible for the operation of the milk tea shop and receive a share.

When the two heard this, they agreed on the spot without hesitation. They didn't even ask how much salary Zhou Chen would give, where the store would be, what they would do, what they would learn. In short, they would do whatever Zhou Chen asked them to do.

I don’t know how many bosses wanted to get such an obedient worker who was chosen by heaven. Fortunately, Zhou Chen would not cheat them. The two parties hit it off immediately and started preparations.

A small store was too simple for Zhou Chen. He first found a store with a good location on the commercial street, and then started to go through the formalities, decoration, etc. The whole process was completed in more than a month.

Zhou Chen did not think about the complexity of the store name and directly chose the name of "Xitian" milk tea store.

Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao followed his instructions and went to other milk tea shops to study separately. They would come back when the shops opened.

…………

Attend the Foreign Languages ​​Middle School Affiliated to Normal University!

Zhou Chen got out of the taxi with a packaged rose in his hand and walked to the roadside opposite the school, waiting for Han Shu to get off work.

When he came here today, it was Han Shu who called him, saying that she was going to take him back to meet her parents. She came here early because she wanted to buy some gifts for her parents to take with them.

Han Shu is also twenty-seven years old this year. Her parents have urged her to find a partner many times and even arranged for her to go on a blind date, so she doesn't want to wait any longer. Anyway, Zhou Chen will graduate from college in more than a year. At this time, she will take him It's the right time to go back to see my parents. If everything goes well, I can get married directly after graduation, as Zhou Chen said.

Zhou Chen was standing on the side of the road waiting patiently. Suddenly, the door of a Don't Touch Me car parked on the side of the road was opened, and a man wearing a suit and a shiny hairstyle walked out. The man looked about thirty years old, His expression was very coquettish, and he smiled at Zhou Chen.

"Brother, are you here to chase a girl too? Is she also a teacher in this school?"

Zhou Chen glanced at this familiar man in surprise: "Who are you?"

The other party raised his eyebrows very proudly and said, "Brother, chasing a girl is just a rose. It's too shameful. I'll teach you a trick."

He patted his car, and he could tell at a glance that it had just been washed. It was shiny and black. He opened the window and pointed at the bouquet of at least dozens of roses on the passenger side.

"Did you see? When chasing a girl, you have to be grand. You can't just have a rose. You have to have something like this. Not only do you need flowers, but you also need a car. You can't let a girl go out with you on a date and give yourself up. Take a car or walk?"

Zhou Chen found it very interesting that he came to pick up his girlfriend and met such an interesting person. He gave her a thumbs up.

"Awesome, I admire you."

When the other party heard this, he immediately smiled even more proudly, as if he had found confidence in Zhou Chen's presence, and raised his head high.

"Brother, I'm not bragging. I'm very experienced in chasing girls. For a girl, you just have to coax her. It doesn't matter whether the man is handsome or tall, what's important is that he If you have money, you also need to be able to speak..."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then compared it. Visually, he was about 1.67 meters tall. Not to mention his appearance, even if he had a good suit and shiny hair, it could not cover up his shortcomings in other aspects.

But there is one thing to say, this guy is really good at talking, and he is very familiar with him. He and Zhou Chen were squatting on the edge of the curb to play bullfight, and even took out the Great China to spread cigarettes for Zhou Chen. .

Zhou Chen saw that he was very interesting, his words were not offensive, and he had nothing to do, so he started chatting with him, and learned about this person's situation in a few sentences.

This man's name is Song Henian. His family is in business. He has made a little fortune in the past few years. However, because there have been no educated people in his family for several generations, he especially wants to find an educated girlfriend. I met someone recently. Introduction, I went on a blind date with a teacher from a foreign language middle school, and then I fell in love at first sight and wanted to pursue him.

To put it simply, this is a slutty but not very evil-minded nouveau riche. Once he got rich, he wanted to find an educated person to enhance his family genes. Foreign Languages ​​Middle School is a key middle school in the city, and he can be a teacher here. Yes, at least they have a bachelor's degree from a good university.

For the nouveau riche who have not even graduated from junior high school, a high school teacher with such an academic qualification is indeed considered an educated person.

The two had a good chat, and finally it was time for school to end. First, a group of students rushed out of the school gate, and Zhou Chen and Song Henian were waiting by the curb.

Finally, the smoking Song Henian suddenly stood up, threw away the cigarette in his hand, stamped it out, breathed hard, and took out the breath freshener and sprayed it into his mouth several times. Zhou Chen looked at it with a look of astonishment.

This guy is a bit interesting.

"Brother, have you seen someone?"

"I saw it, I won't tell you anymore."

The sweetheart had already appeared. Song Henian had no time to talk to Zhou Chen. After spraying the freshener, he pouted a few times on his palms, then wiped his hair, took a confident step, walked to the co-pilot of the car, took out the bouquet of ninety-nine roses, and then walked to the opposite side happily.

Zhou Chen stood there, looking over with curiosity, and saw Song Henian came to a woman. From a distance, the woman was actually a little taller than Song Henian, and her figure looked pretty good, but the distance was a little far, so more could not be seen clearly.

Song Henian wanted to send the words to the other party, but the other party did not accept it. The two talked on the side of the road. Although he could not hear it, Zhou Chen could judge from their body language that Song Henian wanted to please the woman, but the woman was obviously not very friendly. She did not accept his flowers and shook her hands and did not want to entangle with Song Henian.

After several minutes of arguing, the woman did not agree to Song Henian and left on her own. Song Henian chased her for a distance, but the woman still ignored him, so he could only come back in despair.

Seeing his decadent appearance, Zhou Chen couldn't bear to persuade him: "Brother, there are beautiful women everywhere. With your conditions, you will definitely find a better one. It's her loss that she doesn't like you. You don't have to be so sad."

Song Henian said: "I'm not sad. It's normal that she didn't agree to me. People with knowledge are different from us. It's not easy to catch up. What's more, she is so beautiful and talented. It must be that I'm not attentive enough. I have to work harder. As long as I work hard enough, I will be able to impress her one day."

Looking at Song Henian, who changed his face in a blink of an eye and cheered up again, Zhou Chen felt that his comfort was redundant. This buddy's mentality is better than he thought.

Song Henian even comforted Zhou Chen in return: "Brother, you see, teachers at a foreign language school are not that easy to pursue. You see, it's so difficult to pursue someone with my conditions. You just bring a rose, it's not at all..."

"Zhou Chen!"

Before he finished speaking, a crisp voice suddenly rang out. In Song Henian's astonished eyes, a tall and beautiful woman walked quickly to Zhou Chen's side.

"When did you come? You must have been waiting for a long time."

Han Shu smiled happily and said to Zhou Chen in a gentle tone.

Zhou Chen naturally handed the rose in his hand to Han Shu,

"For you."

Han Shu happily took it and smiled even more brilliantly: "Thank you, let's go."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Zhou Chen also gently held her hand, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and said to Song Henian.

"Brother, come on."

Song Henian stared blankly at Zhou Chen holding Han Shu away, and the bouquet of roses in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

He couldn't figure it out. Why did Zhou Chen find such a beautiful female teacher with just a rose? He had prepared for so long, but his sweetheart ignored him. Is height and appearance really more important than feelings and wealth?

Meeting Song Henian was just a small episode for Zhou Chen, and it passed quickly. He went shopping with Han Shu and prepared to visit her home tomorrow at noon.

The next day, on the weekend, Zhou Chen dressed up, took gifts, and went to Han Shu's house.

Zhou Chen's experience of visiting the future father-in-law and mother-in-law at the woman's home is definitely the richest in the world. Although Han Shu's parents are not easy to deal with, he was successfully won over in the end. From the initial strong opposition to leaving, they pulled him and didn't want him to leave.

…………

With the tacit consent of Han Shu's parents, Zhou Chen and Han Shu's development naturally had no obstacles, which made Han Shu happy like a child every day.

At the same time, the milk tea shop invested by Zhou Chen was also opened. Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao, who had gone out to learn technology, became the store manager of this milk tea shop and began to work for Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen went home for the New Year, he also told his uncle and aunt about his love affair with Han Shu.

When Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun knew about this, they were just like Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao at the beginning, with disbelief on their faces, but with Zhou Chen's affirmation, they could only slowly accept the reality.

Although they adopted Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen was already seventeen years old at that time. There was affection, but it was definitely not as good as imagined, especially Zhou Chen is now an adult. They can express their opinions on things like dating and getting married, but they will definitely not influence Zhou Chen's decision.

After graduating from college, Zhou Chen fulfilled his promise and got married with Han Shu. First, they had a simple ceremony at the Linqi Oilfield Base, and then another ceremony when they returned to Shanghai.

Zhou Chen and Han Shu got married, which really shocked many people in Linqi Oilfield, especially Zhou Chen's classmates, Han Shu's colleagues, etc.

For example, Gao Feiyang, Xiao Fang, Jia Baoshan, etc.

Especially Jia Baoshan, he pulled Zhou Chen and scolded him severely, saying that what he had not completed was completed by Zhou Chen...

There were not many people attending the wedding, but it was particularly lively.

…………

More than a decade later, in 2017.

Linqi Oilfield Base, Xiaoshudu Restaurant.

Zhou Chen parked the car at the door of Xiaoshudu, and then got out of the car, and Han Shu on the other side also got out of the co-pilot.

More than a decade later, Zhou Chen and Han Shu have changed a lot, and have become mature. Zhou Chen looks to be in his early thirties, handsome and unrestrained, and more masculine.

Han Shu is still young and beautiful, but if you look closely, you can still see her age. After all, she is 43 years old this year, which is definitely different from when she was in her twenties.

However, one thing has not changed. The relationship between the two is still very stable. They walked into Xiaoshudu hand in hand.

Xiaoshudu was transferred to Jia Baoshan by Niu Lingling ten years ago. Now Xiaoshudu is run by Jia Baoshan and his wife Xiao Fang. It has been a well-established brand for more than 20 years. In the Linqi Oilfield, the business is still very good.

"Director."

Xiao Fang, who was counting the bills at the counter, heard the voice and looked up. Seeing that it was Zhou Chen and Han Shu, he was surprised and happy.

"Oh, my God, Zhou Chen, Teacher Han, you are here. I haven't seen you for several years. You two haven't changed much. You are still young, handsome and beautiful."

Xiao Fang was really happy to see Zhou Chen and Han Shu. Now there are fewer and fewer acquaintances in Linqi Oilfield, and there are even fewer acquaintances like Zhou Chen who have known each other for decades.

"Why are there only the two of you? Where are your two children?"

Han Shu smiled and said, "They are at their uncle's house."

More than a decade later, after she married Zhou Chen, they had two children, the older one is a girl, who is already fourteen years old, and the younger one is a son, who is also nine years old.

The family usually lives in Shanghai, and the two children are basically raised by their grandparents. They are very worry-free. However, during the holidays, winter and summer vacations, they will bring the children to Linqi Oilfield to visit their uncle and aunt.

Originally, Zhou Chen thought about taking them to Shanghai to settle down, but Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun were unwilling and only wanted to stay in the oilfield. Zhou Chen couldn't resist and could only follow their wishes.

"Li Si, Miaomiao, Hu Qiumin, Qiang Xiaowa and the others have already arrived. They are still waiting for you at the old place. Zhou Chen, please go over. Teacher Han, please chat with me."

"Okay, Director, I'll go over first. Wife, please chat with Director Xiao."

"Well, go ahead."

This is the 20th year since Zhou Chen traveled to this world. The original five-member group of 1999 graduates have agreed to meet again in Xiaoshudu. The last time they met in Xiaoshudu was ten years ago.

Zhou Chen went to the private room, and Xiao Fang smiled and teased Han Shu: "You have been together for more than ten years, and your relationship is still so good. I really didn't expect this kid to catch up with you. But Teacher Han, you also have a vision. You caught this potential stock of his at the beginning, and now he is living a good life."

As Jia Baoshan's wife, Xiao Fang is more familiar with Zhou Chen's situation. He is a real billionaire and a big boss.

Han Shu just said with a smile: "Director, you are doing well too. I heard from Miaomiao that her uncle treats you very well."

Speaking of Jia Baoshan, Xiao Fang also showed a happy smile: "That's true. Jia Baoshan, he used to look unreliable, but in fact, he is quite reliable."

Zhou Chen pushed open the door of the private room, and then saw four people sitting at the table.

Li Si, Cheng Miaomiao, Hu Qiumin and Qiang Xiaowa.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, you, the big boss, are finally here. You are too slow."

"Yes, Zhou Chen, you must drink three glasses of wine later."

"Zhou Chen, long time no see."

"Zhou Chen, the last time we met was three years ago."

The four of them greeted Zhou Chen one after another. Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao were fine. Although they were traveling everywhere now, they had settled in Shanghai many years ago, so they could see Zhou Chen anytime without telling him, but it was still common to be together more than ten or twenty times a year.

Qiang Xiaowa and Hu Qiumin are different. One of them is in Beijing and the other is in Hong Kong. Although they often interact in the WeChat group, they have fewer opportunities to meet face to face.

Zhou Chen sat down among them with a smile. The food and wine were ready. The five of them smiled at each other and raised their glasses.

"Cheers!"

It has been 20 years since everyone met in 1997, and the five of them have their own families.

Zhou Chen married Han Shu and now have a pair of children. Qiang Xiaowa also found a local girl in Beijing to marry and has a daughter. Hu Qiumin found an actor boyfriend in Hong Kong. They haven't married yet, but they are about to get married.

As for Li Si and Cheng Miaomiao, they really grew up together. They had bumps and bumps for 30 years, and finally got together as everyone thought.

It's just that although they have been married for many years, they don't have their own children, because Li Si had cancer before, and he was afraid of hereditary diseases, so he was always afraid of having children, afraid of harming the next generation, while Cheng Miaomiao understood him very well and didn't have such a strong desire for children.

So the two of them are the most relaxed and comfortable couple among all people, and now they are traveling everywhere, so comfortable.

The five of them agreed that every ten years, as long as Xiao Shudu is still there, they will come here to get together.

Every ten-year gathering, there will be a happy drunk.

Looking at the smiles of his friends, Zhou Chen was also very happy. These twenty years have been a very happy and interesting journey for him.
