"Well, let's go."
The two had just taken a few steps when Zhou Mo suddenly discovered that Han Chen's shoelaces were undone, so she reminded him.
Han Chen also lowered his head, but his hands were full of things and it was inconvenient to tie them.
"Let's go to the lounge chair over there first." He thought and put his things on the chair.
"Why bother?" Zhou Mo squatted down and helped Han Chen tie his shoelaces.
"Okay," Zhou Mo stood up.
People passing by looked shocked.
Normally, when young couples show their affection, the boy ties the girl's shoelaces, but this time it was the other way around.
Zhou Mo was calm and composed, while Han Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's go." He wanted to escape.
Zhou Mo didn't care about the eyes of the people around her at all. She took the two dolls and handbag from Han Chen generously and put her arm around Han Chen's arm with one hand.
"Are you shy?" she asked.
"No." Han Chen denied it flatly.
Zhou Mo snorted lightly and thought to himself, she is obviously shy.
…
Live in the garden.
When Zhou Mo and Han Chen arrived home, Liu Xiangru, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Mo's two uncles Liu Chengfu and Liu Chengyun had already arrived.
Along with Zhou Mo’s two uncles came Zhou Mo’s cousin Liu Xia, who was holding her almost one-year-old son and coaxing him to drink milk.
As soon as Zhou Mo and Han Chen entered, everyone in the living room turned their eyes to the door.
"Momo and Han Chen are back," Liu Xiangru happily stepped forward, pulling Zhou Mo and Han Chen to stand in the middle of the living room and introducing them, saying, "This is Momo's boyfriend. Big brother, second brother, take a look, isn't he very handsome? I told you, he's an orthopedic doctor at the First Hospital of Dongda University. He lived across the street from us when we were in high school, so we know each other well. Isn't that nice?"
There is no doubt that Liu Xiangru is a million times satisfied with Han Chen as her son-in-law.
But Zhou Mo's eldest uncle Liu Chengfu and second uncle Liu Chengyun had cold expressions. After Liu Xiangru's introduction, they didn't smile at all, but just nodded to indicate that they understood.
Liu Xiangru thought to herself, what's wrong with her two brothers? They didn't react at all.
She then introduced them to Han Chen, "This is Momo's eldest uncle and second uncle."
Han Chen didn't show any shyness and called out politely, "Uncle, Second Uncle."
Zhou Mo's uncle Liu Chengfu then smiled perfunctorily, and then immediately stopped smiling.
He was fat, half bald, with rough skin, a bit of rosacea, and a face full of flesh. At first glance, he looked like someone who was not someone to be messed with.
"Young man, where are you from?" Liu Chengfu asked.
"From the imperial capital."
"Oh, a figure under the emperor's feet," Liu Chengfu said, "What's his background? Don't tell me we are marrying up."
“Ordinary people.”
"My brother-in-law said that you are not an ordinary person."
"He's just an ordinary guy, a small doctor."
"Where are your parents?" Liu Chengfu's tone was like interrogating a criminal.
Zhou Mo was still frightened. What happened to his uncle? He was usually very kind, so why was he so aggressive now?
Han Chen never said anything about the situation in his family, which meant it was inconvenient to say more.
Especially since Han Chen had never mentioned his father before, asking him about his family situation was tantamount to deliberately making things difficult for Han Chen.
Zhou Mo was afraid that Han Chen would get angry from being asked so many questions, so he quickly spoke up for him, "Uncle, are you checking the household registration?"
"Don't say anything," Liu Chengfu interrupted Zhou Mo. "People in our Liu family can't be unclear when looking for a partner. You are just a girl with a naive heart. You have been deceived so many times and you still don't know how to learn your lesson."
Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue, feeling ashamed.
Her two uncles also knew about Yu Yizhou and Ren Huaibo's affairs.
Zhou Mo could hardly protect herself. She secretly glanced at Han Chen and thought to herself, "May the best for you."
Han Chen was unhurried. He said, "My mother used to be a professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology at the First Hospital of Dongda University. She has retired. My father is engaged in scientific research, mainly in the field of aerospace, and he has not retired yet."
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, and mechanically turned his head to look at Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng. The three of them were in a daze.
This was the first time Han Chen talked about his father.
Although not much information was revealed, at least people knew that his father was fine and was most likely a professor at a college.
When Liu Chengfu heard that Han Chen's family of three were all intellectuals, he was immediately in awe.
Back then, when they were at the age where they should have been studying, they couldn’t even get enough to eat. Without a father or mother, it was really difficult for two brothers to support a younger sister.
In order to make a living, the two brothers did the hard work of burning coal, while the accounting and storage jobs in the coal yard were easy. They sat in a clean office and received their salary easily every month.
However, they were working shirtless, pulling bricks in a coal mine where coal smoke was flying everywhere, it was dirty and messy, and hotter than a furnace.
At that time, Liu Chengfu thought that he must not let Liu Xiangru, a girl, suffer such hardship, and he must let her go to school and learn culture.
Liu Xiangru also worked very hard and was admitted to a normal school.
Seeing my sister living a happy life, I feel that it is definitely a good idea to read more and learn more.
Especially since Han Chen's parents are both experts and professors, they are the most educated people.
Having experienced the hunger and suffering stigmatized by the times, Liu Chengfu's generation had a special fascination with intellectuals.
"You have such good conditions, why are you attracted to our Momo?" Liu Chengfu said, "Let's make it clear first. Our Momo will definitely not go to the capital with you. There is no room for negotiation on where to live in the future. You should know that Momo's father is in poor health. We are worried about Momo, a girl, going out of town. Daughters who marry out of town are most likely to suffer losses. If they are wronged, they will have no one to turn to for help."
"I never thought of letting Momo return to the capital," Han Chen said, "and I won't go back myself, so I've already bought a house here."
Liu Chengfu was very disdainful. "Buying a house doesn't mean anything. If you want to leave, just sell it and leave. Feet grow on people, not on houses."
Zhou Mo was sweating coldly as she watched. What happened to her uncle today? He was not satisfied with anything Han Chen said.
She is a junior and it is not easy for her to speak for Han Chen.
Zhou Mo understood Liu Chengfu's temper. He was a narrow-minded person.
The more Zhou Mo spoke up for Han Chen, the more Liu Chengfu would target Han Chen.
Maybe they would even criticize her together, saying that she was bewitched by Han Chen.
Zhou Mo could only look at Liu Xiangru for help.
Liu Xiangru couldn't bear to see her son-in-law being wronged. She quickly said, "Brother, Han Chen resigned from Mingde General Hospital and came to Dongjiang. That's the best orthopedic hospital in the country. If he wants to stay in the capital, how could he possibly leave? Mingde General Hospital, how many people want to get in but can't?"
Hearing Han Chen's determination, Liu Chengfu's expression improved.
"Alright, we're just friends now. This guy has good qualities, so let's talk first," Liu Chengfu pushed Liu Chengyun next to him, "Second brother, say something too."
Liu Chengyun was shocked for a moment, "What can I say? I listen to my third sister. If she thinks it's good, then I think it's good too."
Liu Chengfu glared at him and said, "You have never had any ideas since you were a child."
