Zhou Zheng frowned and asked coldly, "You're not even married yet, and you're already planning on having a second child?"
Zhou Mo was even more surprised: "What second child?"
Zhou Zheng: "'Secure two and strive for one' doesn't that mean guaranteeing a second child and having a first child as soon as possible? You're quite good at responding to national policies."
Zhou Mo: “…”
Zhou Mo originally wanted to explain something, but he thought that the more he explained, the more trouble it would cause, so he simply gave up.
Let them misunderstand this "maintaining second place and striving for first place" for now.
Anyway, they won't take it seriously and will just think it's a joke.
However, Zhou Mo still underestimated Liu Xiangru's open-mindedness. When she heard the word "second child", her eyes became bright.
"Two is great! If it weren't for the policy back then, I would have wanted a second child too," Liu Xiangru said. "It would be so nice to have a pair of children. Your Aunt Liang and I will each take care of one, so we don't both want to take care of the children and get huddled over."
“…”
Zhou Zheng said indifferently, "Let's buy the car first and get it notarized first. As for Han Chen, his parents haven't met yet, so let's see how Han Chen arranges it."
Liu Xiangru glared at him: "Han Chen is such a good son-in-law. He's a doctor, has a car, a house, and a stable job. But you are not satisfied with anything."
Zhou Zheng: "No matter how good Han Chen is, as long as he is my son-in-law, he will never pass the test in my eyes. I have raised my daughter to this age, can I love her by myself? She doesn't have to get married."
Liu Xiangru: "Okay, okay, I know you love your girl."
Zhou Mo is Zhou Zheng's only blood relative in the world, and it is not excessive for him to love Zhou Mo.
…
The day before, Zhou Zheng asked for notarization, and Han Chen took care of it the next day.
However, before notarization, Han Chen accompanied Zhou Mo to choose a license plate.
He even took half a day off for this.
Zhou Mo had been waiting for this day for a long time, and was eager to try it out.
Unfortunately, H1111, which Zhou Mo liked, was chosen. She was a little sad and changed to H1211, but it was also chosen.
In desperation, she checked the perpetual calendar and found that Han Chen's birthday was September 28th in the lunar calendar, so she changed her number to H0928, which was not a good number and was not selected.
"That's it," Zhou Mo said, a little disappointed. "Your license plate is my Gregorian birthday, and mine is your lunar birthday. That's all we need to know."
In fact, Zhou Mo still wanted to show off a little bit. After all, who doesn’t have some vanity?
But reality does not allow it, and the license plates that can be "showed off" have already been chosen.
Zhou Mo suddenly became curious, "Then how did you pick the license plate?"
Han Chen: "I just randomly drew a number. The mini program provides a batch of numbers, which can be refreshed five times a day. On the third time, I accidentally found Z1212 among them."
1212 was really eye-catching. It was the password of all his accounts, and it happened to start with Z. He chose this number without hesitation.
After the two came out of the vehicle management office, Zhou Mo notified Zhou Zheng to go to the notary office.
Han Chen asked Liang Dongyan to contact the notary office, so they could handle it on the spot and follow the fastest process.
After finishing.
Zhou Zheng took the notarized document and looked through it carefully. He put the document away and turned to look at Han Chen.
"When will your family arrange a meeting between our two parents?"
"I'll ask my dad if he has time recently and ask him to come to Dongjiang."
"You don't have to come to Dongjiang. Your Aunt Liu and I can go to the Imperial Capital."
"My dad isn't in the capital," Han Chen said. "He's in a remote area."
"What about your other relatives?" Zhou Zheng asked, "Are you sure your parents can decide on your marriage?"
Zhou Zheng is not an inexperienced person.
Even if you don't know how big the family behind Han Chen is, just think about it and you will know that his uncles are officials in the imperial capital, and there is a grandfather in the family. If this family really wants to find a leader, it will not be Han Chen and his son.
Han Chen was indeed stumped by the question and fell silent.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou," Han Chen said, "I can't arrange for you to meet my grandfather for now."
"Actually, meeting my parents... isn't my ultimate goal," Zhou Zheng said earnestly, "You and Momo aren't going to live in the capital, are you?"
"Yes," Han Chen promised, "I won't let her go there, and I won't go back."
Zhou Zheng nodded. "The emperor is far away, and you're in Dongjiang, so it's hard for them to control you. I'm relieved. But I still insist on meeting your parents, even if it's just your father. What I need isn't a thorough investigation of your family, but someone who can be the backbone and support your future marriage. If your father doesn't support you, how can you get the support of other family members?"
Han Chen lowered his head: "I know what you are thinking, Uncle Zhou, don't worry, as long as my father can come, I will arrange a meeting for you as soon as possible."
"Your Han family is a wealthy family with a lot of rules," Zhou Zheng said. "As the saying goes, 'If the name is not right, the words will not flow, and if the words are not flowing, nothing will be accomplished.' Marriage is a big deal, and it requires a legitimate name and a formal matchmaker. Momo is the apple of our family's eye. I can't just watch her get married with you, without a wedding or family blessings. During the holidays, do you think she will go home with you? If your family doesn't like her and really refuses to let her in, what will you do with Momo? The new daughter-in-law can't even enter her in-laws' house, or if she does, she won't be treated well. As a father, I can't bear to see my daughter suffer such injustice. If that really happens, I would rather my daughter never get married."
These words, which were a retreat in order to advance, hit the nail on the head and touched Han Chen's heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.
People who have been through it are people who have seen all kinds of things in the world and understand the diversity of human nature. What Zhou Zheng said is all true.
Especially for the Han family, it is exactly as Zhou Zheng said.
Because that’s how Liang Xinyun got here.
This is also the reason why Han Chen didn't want to bring Zhou Mo back to the capital to meet other members of the Han family.
Because he knew the family rules and the entire family's way of thinking too well, Zhou Mo's appearance was bound to become the target of public criticism, and he was not strong enough to guarantee that Zhou Mo would not be slandered.
On the contrary, because he fled the imperial capital, he was the "most useless" person in the Han family.
He neither holds a high position nor is he rich and powerful.
The price of living as you please is probably that you become a small person. You need to see the world clearly and learn to accept your fate.
Only when you reach a position like Han Chi can you have the right to choose your other half.
Neither Han Ji nor Han Ze can do it, let alone him.
Zhou Zheng's words were like blunt knives, unable to extinguish his determination to be with Zhou Mo, but they hurt his heart without drawing blood.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry. I will do my best to fight for my father's support. He will bless and support Momo and me."
"Blessings and support aren't enough," Zhou Zheng reminded her. "If Momo is ever wronged, I hope he can at least stand up and speak a fair word for her."
