Both Zhou's father and mother like Zheng Ming, an honest and simple young man.

They don't have high requirements for their future son-in-law, as long as he is good to their daughter.

Since Zheng Ming expressed his attitude, Zhou's father and mother also recognized him as a person.

"Comrade Zheng Ming, will you treat my elder sister well for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Xiaomei looked at Zheng Ming and asked in a quirky tone.

Zheng Ming seemed a little nervous when facing the eccentric Zhou Xiaomei, but he answered the question with a firm look in his eyes, "Yes, I will definitely treat Xiulan well for the rest of my life."

After hearing Zheng Ming's answer, Zhou's father and mother showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

They also realized that although this young man didn't talk much, he always kept his word and was a trustworthy person.

"Okay, then we feel relieved." Zhou's father said with a smile. He was very pleased with Zheng Ming's attitude.

Mother Zhou also nodded in agreement: "Zheng Ming, get along well with our Xiulan in the future. If she does anything wrong, please be tolerant."

It’s pitiful how loving parents are. Dad and Mom Zhou don’t have any requirements for their son-in-law. As long as their daughter likes him and he treats her well, that’s enough.

Zheng Ming looked at Zhou's father and mother with gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle and aunt. I will take good care of Xiulan."

Zhou Xiulan stood aside, and after hearing Zheng Ming's words and her parents' approval, she felt very warm in her heart. She knew that she had found someone she could rely on.

"Okay, everyone, stop standing and sit down and continue chatting." Aunt Zhou asked everyone to sit down again.

Everyone sat in the living room and continued chatting. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Zhou Ziwen also joined the conversation, and he and Zheng Ming talked about some topics about work and life.

He was particularly interested in Zheng Ming's professional abilities.

Zheng Ming's main job is mechanical repair and maintenance.

This job is still very popular in this era.

"Brother Ming, mechanical repair and maintenance is a technical job. The fact that you can work in this field shows that you are very capable." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Zheng Ming smiled shyly: "Ziwen, you are too kind. I just learned a little skill to make a living."

"Brother Ming, don't be so modest. If I don't understand something about mechanics in the future, I will have to ask you for help." Zhou Ziwen complimented with a smile.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Ma and Zhou Ziwen went to the kitchen to cook.

Today, his future brother-in-law came to visit, and Zhou Ziwen decided to show off his skills.

Chen Shiying, her second sister and her younger sister also came to the kitchen to help.

Only Zhou's father and eldest sister were left in the living room with Zheng Ming.

As for Chen Qiaoyi, she was taking care of the children in the house.

There is strength in numbers. After a while, the tempting aroma gradually wafted out from the kitchen and filled the entire living room.

After a while, the Zhou family and Zheng Ming sat around the dining table, and Zhou Ma brought out a series of delicious dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, Kung Pao chicken, etc. Each dish was carefully prepared by Zhou Ma and cooked by Zhou Ziwen himself.

At the dining table, Zheng Ming looked a little uneasy as he looked at the table full of dishes.

Father Zhou said with a smile: "Zheng Ming, don't be polite, come and try Ziwen's cooking."

Zheng Ming nodded, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Delicious."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "As long as Brother Ming likes it, eat more."

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhou Xiaomei said mischievously: "Brother Ming, if you come here often in the future, you will be able to eat such delicious dishes often."

"Yeah, okay."

Zheng Ming agreed honestly.

"hehe!"

"Ha ha."

Zheng Ming's answer made everyone laugh.

Lunch went on happily amid laughter.

The Zhou family's enthusiasm and Zheng Ming's simplicity complement each other, making this family gathering full of warmth and happiness.

After dinner, Zheng Ming took the initiative to help clear the table, but Zhou Ma insisted that he go to the living room to rest while she and her daughters were busy cleaning up.

"Zheng Ming, just sit down and we will take care of these things." Zhou Ma said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Ming, you can chat with Dad." Zhou Ziwen also echoed.

Zheng Ming couldn't persuade them, so he had to go back to the living room and continue chatting with Zhou's father.

Zhou Xiulan made a cup of tea for Zheng Ming, and the two sat on the sofa, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already afternoon. Zheng Ming realized that it was time to leave, so he stood up and thanked Zhou's father and mother: "Uncle and aunt, I'm really sorry to bother you today. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Of course not. Please come often in the future." Zhou's father said with a smile.

Zhou Ma also said: "Yes, Zheng Ming, this will be your home from now on. You are welcome to come anytime."

Zheng Ming nodded, expressed his gratitude again, and then he and Zhou Xiulan saw Zhou's father and mother to the door.

"Xiu Lan, please see Zheng Ming off." Mother Zhou said to her daughter.

"Okay, Mom." Zhou Xiulan agreed and walked out of the house with Zheng Ming.

…

"Dad, is the matter of my eldest sister settled?"

After Zheng Ming left, Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Well, I think Zheng Ming is a good guy. He is a down-to-earth person and does a good job."

Dad Zhou nodded.

Zhou Ma also smiled and added: "Yes, Xiulan also likes Zheng Ming. We see that they get along well. The most important thing is that Zheng Ming is sincere to Xiulan, which is better than anything else."

"That's good. Big sister's happiness is the most important." Zhou Ziwen said with satisfaction.

Zheng Ming came to the house today, and the matter between him and the eldest sister was settled.

According to the customs of that era, they were going to get married soon.

After dealing with his eldest sister's problem, Zhou Ziwen thought of his second sister.

"Second sister, Brother Ming is here today, but what about Brother Qiang? When is he going to come?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

Logically speaking, my second sister and Li Qiang had a successful blind date first.

After such a long time, it’s time to go to the house.

After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Zhou's father and mother also looked at his second sister Zhou Yaqin. Obviously, they also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Zhou Yaqin smiled slightly. She was not in a hurry. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying her current relationship with Li Qiang. "Ziwen, Li Qiang and I are fine. We are still in the stage of getting to know each other. I want to wait a little longer."

"Oh? Then when do you plan to decide?" Zhou Ma asked curiously. As a mother, she naturally hopes that every child can find a home as soon as possible.

"Mom, we're not in a hurry. Li Qiang also agreed. We want to spend more time getting to know each other. After all, marriage is a lifelong thing." Zhou Yaqin answered seriously.

After hearing this, Zhou's father nodded in understanding: "Okay, you young people should decide yourselves. As long as you are happy, we have no objection."

"Yes, Yaqin, if you and Li Qiang have made a decision, tell us so we can prepare." Zhou Ma also added with a smile.

Zhou Yaqin smiled and agreed: "Yes, I know, Mom."

Zhou Ziwen looked at his second sister's expression and knew that she knew what was going on, so he stopped asking.

The second sister is different from the eldest sister. Her personality is more unconventional and more advanced.

The eldest sister is more traditional. (End of this chapter)
