Chapter 397 Try Your Best

Zhou Zhengan was a little irritated. After sending Bai Jing away, he glanced at the next door.

The door of the next room was locked. It seemed that Xia Zhi had left.

He felt a little depressed. Xia Zhi left without even saying hello to him. It was obvious that he didn't care about him.

He threw himself on the bed and lay there a little irritated. What should he do if Xia Zhi really fell in love with Liu Xun?

Should he give up or continue to work hard?

He had been waiting for Xia Zhi for so many years. Could he really let her go? He was unwilling.

He chose to let go once because of Gu Zixi, but later he knew that there was nothing between Gu Zixi and Xia Zhi.

He had regretted it for so many years. He had waited so resolutely at the beginning. After waiting for so many years, both of them were single. He didn't want to miss this opportunity again.

He was already such an old man. What could he not say openly and honestly?

He couldn't miss Xia Zhi again.

Just then, he heard a noise coming from the door of the next room. He hurriedly got up and opened the door to go out.

I saw a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man following Xia Zhi, carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.

When the four of them met, Xia Zhi was a little embarrassed, thinking that Zhou Zhengan had already fallen asleep. Originally,

I shouldn't have come tonight, but Gu's mother was anxious and insisted on seeing where she lived, so she packed a lot of things.

My parents came with me in the car to see the house, and now this happened.

"Captain Zhou, these are my parents."

Introducing to my parents

"Mom and Dad,

This is Zhou Zhengan. When I was on the farm, Captain Zhou took great care of me. And he is my best friend."

When Gu's father and mother saw Zhou Zhengan, who was handsome, they couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed.

Their daughter has not been married for many years. At her age, she is already an older leftover woman in the city.

The two of them have been worried about their daughter's marriage for a long time and wanted to introduce a partner to their daughter, but their daughter has always disagreed.

Especially the relationship between them and their daughter is not as simple as the biological parents who really raised her.

And they can't force their daughter to go on a blind date.

The two were worried, but they didn't expect their daughter to have such a young and promising friend.

Or a man?

Father Gu asked with a smile.

"Hello, Xiao Zhou, I'm Xia Zhi's father."

Zhou Zhengan was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he could meet Xia Zhi's parents.

Xia Zhi had told him about her parents. It seemed that they were her biological parents.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm Zhou Zhengan, Xia Zhi's friend."

Mother Gu looked up and down at the man in front of her. The only thing she was not satisfied with was that he seemed a little old.

He looked to be in his 30s.

At the same time, she sighed.

At such an old age, the other party must have been married, and there was no possibility between him and his daughter.

Father and Mother Gu said goodbye to Zhou Zhengan kindly, and the two went to their daughter's room.

Looking at this small room, Mother Gu was even more dissatisfied.

"This house is so small, how can you live here?

Besides, who will take care of you if you live here alone?

You don't even have a hot meal when you go to and from get off work. If you live at home, mom can cook for you, wash clothes, etc."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm so old now. I used to be able to do everything by myself on the farm. Am I helpless in the city?"

Xia Zhi said with a smile.

When Gu's father heard his daughter say this, he could only pull his wife's sleeve and signal her to say less.

The daughter is already grown up and has her own ideas. She is not just a child of a few years old.

The couple helped Xia Zhi to clean up the house again. After hanging curtains and laying sheets and pillowcases, the house was indeed much warmer.

Including the sofa. It was covered with floral cloth, and the whole house looked like a girl's place.

Gu's mother muttered and looked around the house again, and decided to help her daughter bring some things over tomorrow while she was not at home. Her daughter had too few things here.

"We need to put a TV here. If you don't want to watch TV, you can put a tape recorder in it."

"By the way, how about buying you a washing machine?

I heard from them that washing machines are very useful. Although we don't have one at home, it's not bad to buy one for you to use, so you can save yourself from washing by hand."

Mother Gu was afraid that her daughter would be tired. Her daughter went out early and came back late every day, and she was tired like a dog every day. In fact, as a mother, who can't feel distressed.

She especially hoped that her daughter would follow their arrangements and find a formal unit to work directly.

This way, it would be easier to go to and from get off work, and it wouldn't be so hard, but her daughter just didn't listen.

Xia Zhi smiled and hugged Mother Gu's shoulders and said,

"Okay, Mom, it's a deal. These things are given to me by you to support my little family."

For the first time, she didn't refuse her mother's kindness, which warmed Mother Gu's heart. The child finally stopped being distant with them.

She also began to treat them as parents.

Even though Xiazhi lived in Gu's house during these years, he always had his own sense of propriety and kept a sense of boundaries with them.

He never asked his family for a penny, even if they tried their best to give him things.

The child rarely asked them for anything, and never accepted any of their financial support.

This sense of propriety made them feel very sad. They knew that the child had not yet untied the knot in his heart and did not regard them as a family. Therefore, even 1 cent spent was a burden for Xia Zhi.

This was the first time that his daughter accepted the care and concern that he wanted to express.

Gu's mother immediately became excited.

"Okay, can you give me a key to your dormitory?

When you are not at home, I can come to clean up your things. I promise that I will never disturb your life."

She was a little cautious when she spoke, fearing that her daughter would be unhappy.

Looking at Gu's mother's slightly cautious look, Xia Zhi felt soft in her heart.

I have to admit that Gu's father and mother treated me with some guilt and caution, not like their real daughter.

Beating and scolding without any barriers.

They were more or less worried about hurting me.

But they tried hard to get close to me, but the methods they used were clumsy, and it seemed that it was always difficult for each other to take that step.

"Okay, Mom, I will give you a key, you can come anytime."

Xia Zhi's words made Gu's mother's eyes light up, and she became excited.

"Okay, okay, do whatever you need to do tomorrow. Mom promises to clean up the house before you come back. And I won't disturb you."

Mother Gu seemed to have found the most important thing in her life. Her daughter was willing to accept her kindness, which was something she had never encountered in these years.

If her daughter was willing, she would try her best to get close to her daughter.
