Chapter 150 I was so nervous that I almost got addicted to smoking
Zhou Yan watched Lin Xu slip out from under his arm and run out, smiled helplessly, and followed him out.
Zhou's parents were naturally happy that he could stay at home for a while longer after not being home for two years.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry. Now that we've both settled down, we'll definitely come back often in the future." Lin Xu assured Zhou's parents.
"It's not your fault. You're busy with your careers, and we can't help you. It's all thanks to your parents' help."
Mother Zhou has always been reasonable, and Father Zhou has gradually accepted his son's choice over the past two years.
Apart from not being able to have children, there is actually no difference from living a normal life.
What's more, even after getting married, there are many young people who don't want children. When old colleagues at work talk about it, they all have their own worries.
In comparison, he is already very worry-free.
I don’t have the responsibility of taking care of my grandchildren. When I retire, I will take my wife on a trip.
"How's your business lately?" Father Zhou chatted with them while eating.
"It's pretty good. It's very busy during the peak season, and after the tourist season is over, the tea plantations start harvesting."
"Well, it's better to be busy. Be busy while you are young, but you also have to take care of your health." Zhou's father advised.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of each other. Xuxu and I have discussed this and will take you for a physical examination in the next few days."
"Our unit has annual physical examinations, so there's no need to bother."
Lin Xu quickly said, "The company's physical examination isn't comprehensive. We'll give you a full checkup to reassure him. He's actually feeling pretty guilty about not coming back these past two years."
Mother Zhou's nose suddenly felt sore: "I can understand it all. When you are not busy in the future, just come back and stay for a few days. This is your home too."
At this point, the atmosphere was right. Zhou Yan and Lin Xu looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
Lin Xu suddenly stood up and nervously clutched the corner of his clothes.
"Dad, Mom, please leave Brother Zhou to me. I will take good care of him. From now on, I promise to come back and stay with him for a while every year."
Lin Xu suddenly changed his tone. Zhou's parents were stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, good kids, just live your life well. Don't quarrel or get angry. We'll be relieved."
Zhou Yan grabbed Lin Xu's hand and pulled him to sit down again.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for your understanding. I am living such a happy life now, and your understanding is the premise of everything. Your son is really grateful to you."
Father Zhou's eyes reddened, and he waved his hands to hold back his tears: "Stop talking about this. Isn't family supposed to support and understand each other?"
Mother Zhou patted him and said, "Go, kid, change your mind. We are going to give you a red envelope."
"Oh yes, yes, I'll get it."
Father Zhou got up and went into the house to get the red envelope.
Lin Xu wanted to stop him, but Zhou Yan stopped him: "This is custom. You must accept the fee for changing your words."
After Zhou Yan said that, Lin Xu didn't refuse. He took the red envelope with both hands and said thank you: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."
The family had dinner, chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep at night.
Zhou Yan lay in bed holding Lin Xu, smiling contentedly.
"You've passed the last hurdle. From now on, you'll be the 'daughter-in-law' of our Zhou family."
"I was so nervous just now. Weren't you nervous when you changed your way of addressing me to mom and dad at my house?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
"I was nervous. I was so nervous that day that I almost got a cigarette craving."
"Huh? Why didn't I see that?"
"Do you have the memory of a fish? Have you forgotten how many times I kissed you before I entered your house that day?" Zhou Yan was speechless.
Lin Xu blinked and recalled the scene at that time. It seemed to be happening again.
He thought Zhou Yan kissed him at the door because he was excited and happy, but he didn't expect that he was so nervous that he even had a craving for cigarettes.
Lin Xu chuckled twice: "So that's how it is. No wonder my sister scolded me, saying that I must be constantly flirting with blind people. Can you be more obvious next time?"
"You're slow and you blame me for not being obvious." Zhou Yan was so angry that she pinched his waist. "But, I quite like your slowness. It's fun."
It's like digging for treasure. Zhou Yan buried a treasure. Lin Xu won't find it at the moment, but he may suddenly dig it out at some point in the future and show it to him excitedly.
Zhou Yan enjoyed it.
"Bad taste." Lin Xu complained.
Zhou Yan patted his back and said, "Go to bed early. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. Once you've adapted to the temperature, I'll take you skiing."
"Okay. Good night." Lin Xu looked up, exchanged a goodnight kiss with Zhou Yan, and went to sleep peacefully.
Lin Xu has a strong ability to adapt, and he didn’t feel so cold when he went out the next day.
Zhou Yan took him for a stroll, passing by the school where he had studied and the court where he had played ball, and told him interesting stories from his student days.
The two were walking on the street, and Zhou Yan put Lin Xu's hand in his pocket to keep it warm as if no one was around.
The streets are already filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, with lanterns hanging from the street lamps and colorful lights hanging on the trees.
The snow on the roadside reflects a variety of colors, which is a completely different scene from Yunping Village.
After touring the city, Zhou Yan took Lin Xu to the surrounding areas to see the mountains and the river.
Only then did Lin Xu understand what Zhou Yan meant when he said that the mountains here had a kind of cold beauty.
The mountain is covered with white snow, and the exposed part is black. The black and white stand there silently, rugged and desolate, making people afraid.
More than half a month passed. The two of them toured the neighborhood, took Zhou's parents for a physical examination, and had a very fulfilling life.
Before the New Year, Zhou's parents took them to visit relatives and wish them a happy New Year.
Lin Xu was hesitant at first and didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou's parents.
How to introduce him is a problem.
Just because Zhou's parents accepted him doesn't mean others would.
But the Zhou family was quite calm and had a very stable mentality. They felt no pressure at all when taking him to meet relatives.
When introducing Lin Xu to others, I always say that he is my godson. Even if someone looks at him curiously, I won’t say anything.
"Did we greet our parents in advance? I don't think they reacted much when they saw me." Lin Xu asked Zhou Yan quietly.
"Yeah, that's true. You noticed it pretty quickly. I hope you can be as perceptive as me one day." Zhou Yan joked.
"Is your family all well?"
"Hasn't your family accepted me?"
"Yes, so our happiness is based on their understanding. So I have an idea." Lin Xu said mysteriously.
"What idea?"
Lin Xu took Zhou Yan's arm, put his arm around his arm and clasped his fingers together, and discussed with him seriously: "How about we open a branch?"
"Open a branch?" Zhou Yan thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "You want to open a branch near my home?"
