After visiting the integrated circuit production line of the leading semiconductor enterprise in H country, the semiconductor bosses were hit hard.

After returning to China, they reported to the country and began to apply for more policy support from the country.

When Cen Huaian received the notice from Professor Liu, the country's new secret project had already started. After receiving the project notice, Professor Liu began to prepare to apply to join this project.

Not everyone is eligible to join this project. The projects supported by the country will definitely have a lot of funds and preferential policies.

So as long as you can apply for this project, you don't have to worry about the future research being aborted due to insufficient funds.

After all, the research on semiconductor chips still requires real money to be invested, otherwise you can't even afford the materials for the experiment, how can you do research.

Professor Liu is a leader in semiconductor research at Jinghua. The school supports most of his research, and all kinds of funds are given priority to him.

But Professor Liu still has moments when he is short of money. He has attracted a lot of investment from outside and cooperated with the semiconductor company he opened.

And this new national project is another opportunity.

Professor Liu assigned Cen Huaian and his senior sister an important task, which is to prepare a project application, which will be used to show everyone at the application conference.

If your ability is not good enough, or your conditions are not enough, and your application is not well done, your application for this project will be directly rejected.

The two were the main responsible persons. Professor Liu said to them: "You can use the other people in the laboratory. I will give you the templates and various advantages of our laboratory. You are mainly responsible for integration and picking out the best ones to put in front."

Professor Liu gave Cen Huaian and the senior sister all the achievements he had made for most of his life, the various awards he had won, and the various project materials he had participated in.

Cen Huaian looked at the files in the whole room and had a premonition that he would be busier in the future.

The senior sister's name was Zhao Xuebing. She took the application template, which had various parts that needed to be organized. She pointed to the directory and asked Cen Huaian directly: "We will each be responsible for half. Which parts do you want to do?"

Zhao Xuebing had already recognized Cen Huaian's ability. She knew that Cen Huaian could complete the task well no matter what he did.

Cen Huaian looked at the parts, the workload was about the same, and he didn't care which one he did: "I can do anything, you choose first."

Zhao Xuebing: "Okay, I'll do the first half, you do the second half, if you have any opinions, just raise them now, if you have any ideas after we start working, I won't accept them."

She always speaks so directly, after starting to work, if you want to change your tasks, it will bring her a lot of trouble.

"I have no objection, that's it."

After dividing the work, the two began to get busy. Professor Liu said that they could use anyone in the laboratory, so Zhao Xuebing directly asked his juniors to help.

Cen Huaian understood the attitude of the people in the laboratory towards him. Because he was young and had little experience, he was valued by the professor, and many people in the laboratory were dissatisfied with him.

Wang Lifei before was the most typical example. If Cen Huaian asked them for help, most people would refuse. Some might agree but stumble during the work.

Therefore, Cen Huaian was prepared to do all the application work assigned by the professor.

Cen Huaian would rather work harder, and for him, the amount of work was still within his tolerance.

It would just take up more of Cen Huaian's personal time.

After class every day, Cen Huaian would go to the laboratory's data room to look through various materials and organize the part he was responsible for.

Every day he was the busiest in the laboratory, and the lights were off when he returned to the dormitory.

The next day he was the first to get up.

Professor Liu was also very busy in applying for this project. He was in a hurry in the laboratory and didn't notice the little dispute among the students at all.

Cen Huaian was not a person who liked to complain.

Tonight, Cen Huaian finally finished his planned work for today. He glanced at his watch and it was almost one o'clock in the morning. The dormitories were closed at this time.

Everyone else in the laboratory had left. The professor did not come to the laboratory at night because he had classes and other work today.

Cen Huaian had brought a new set of bedding from home and placed it in the laboratory. He was prepared for the situation where he would work too late and could not go home.

He was not going to leave either. He opened his private cabinet in the laboratory, cleaned up a table directly, and spread the bedding on it, intending to spend the night like this.

Cen Huaian had just made the bed when he heard a knock on the door outside, and he frowned.

At this time, all the lights in the corridor outside were dimmed. Apart from the knock on the door, Cen Huaian did not hear any other sounds.

"Who?" Cen Huaian asked cautiously, his voice a little cold.

"Junior, it's me, is the door locked?"

The person outside was Zhao Shi, and Cen Huaian's frown loosened: "The door is not locked, come in."

"Junior, you are really smart, you thought of bringing a set of bedding to the laboratory in advance."

The weather has become cold now, and most of the new semester has passed. Everyone is wearing a jacket, otherwise they can't bear the invasion of the cold outside.

Zhao Shi looked at Cen Huaian's bedding, and then thought about his current situation, and the whole person suddenly became very depressed.

"Junior, do you think I am useless like them?"

Cen Huaian adjusted the pillow, propped up his hands on the table, and sat on the table with the bedding.

"No. Why do you think of yourself like this?"

Zhao Shi sat on a chair, leaned back and said, "Today, they all finished the tasks assigned by Senior Sister Zhao very quickly, and only I have done it now. As a result, I finally finished everything and rushed to the dormitory, but the dormitory was closed. I wanted to ask the dormitory aunt to open the door for me, but I was afraid that it would disturb her if I asked her so late." He

could only return to the laboratory with his head down, thinking about how to spend the night here.

But the laboratory was too cold at night, and he couldn't stand the cold after sitting there for a while, so he got up and walked around the laboratory, thinking about whether he could get warmer, and then he saw that the light was still on in the room where Cen Huaian was.

After entering, Li Shi was even more shocked. He never considered things comprehensively. He knew that he might not be able to go back, and he did not think of bringing a clean quilt like Cen Huaian.

Cen Huaian said bluntly: "Senior, the reason why you work so late is because you are doing work that is not yours."

Li Shi's face instantly showed a panic, and he waved his hands and tried desperately to explain something, but he couldn't explain anything.

"Junior, how come you know everything?"

Cen Huaian is smart and powerful. The professor values ​​him, and those people in the laboratory don't dare to bully him. Li Shi really wants to be like Cen Huaian.

It's not because he is so smart that the professor values ​​him, but because he has the courage to refuse others and is not afraid of being tricked by others.

"Because I understand your character. I also understand the characters of other people in the laboratory."

In fact, it is not only in this laboratory, but also everywhere else. Good people are bullied.

Others will not think that you are easy to talk to or kind, they will only think that you are easy to bully, and then they will desperately ask you for help, but your help will not be exchanged for gratitude, it will only make them take you for granted.

Cen Huaian showed that he was not easy to talk to from the beginning, and those seniors also saw that he was not easy to mess with.

Coupled with the incident of Wang Lifei, those people did not dare to touch Cen Huaian.

Li Shi knew that what Cen Huaian said was right, but his personality has been like this since he was a child, and it is difficult to change it in a short time, so he became more decadent.

"Then do you want to change the status quo?"

Cen Huaian looked at Li Shi and asked, his eyes could hit his heart directly, making his body stiffen there, and he quickly lowered his head. He felt that Cen Huaian seemed to see through his thoughts, which made him feel a little flustered.

"I...I..."

Cen Huaian didn't say anything else, nor did he persuade Li Shi.

Because if he didn't want to change, no one else could help.

Cen Huaian yawned and said, "If you don't think it's a good idea now, then spend a few more days thinking about it. I'm going to sleep."

He still has work to do tomorrow, so Cen Huaian doesn't have that much time to accompany Li Shi in his pain.

When Li Shi saw that Cen Huaian was going to sleep, he panicked even more: "Junior brother!"

He grabbed Cen Huaian's arm: "I want to change!"

Cen Huaian looked him straight in the eye: "Are you sure?"

Li Shi gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great determination, and nodded vigorously: "I'm sure. Junior brother, do you have a way to help me get out of this situation?"

Cen Huaian: "I can offer my help. But the premise is that you can hold on and refuse no matter who asks you for help."

Li Shi's body froze again, he didn't dare to guarantee that he could do it.

"Junior brother, I..."

"I will help you at the beginning, but in the end you still have to learn to say no."

Because Li Shi helped Cen Huaian at the beginning, without Li Shi to take Cen Huaian to learn those instruments and familiarize himself with the laboratory, Cen Huaian would spend more time learning.

He is a person who repays his enemies with his enemies and repays his kindness with his kindness. Li Shi helped him, and he is willing to help Li Shi.

The premise is that Li Shi can stand up on his own.

After saying this, Cen Huaian took off his coat and got into the quilt to prepare for sleep. He said to Li Shi: "There is another quilt in the cupboard, you can use it."

Chu Xia was afraid that Cen Huaian would be cold, and was also afraid that there would not be enough quilts in case there were too many people sleeping in the laboratory, so he prepared two very thick quilts for Cen Huaian, which could be used directly in the winter.

Li Shi lay in the warm quilt and shed tears without any hope. He felt that he was very lucky to know Cen Huaian, who not only did not despise him for being stupid, but also helped him.

The next day, Cen Huaian brought Li Shi to Zhao Xuebing. Li Shi had a puzzled look on his face, and was afraid of Zhao Xuebing.

In the entire laboratory, Zhao Xuebing was very respected, second only to Professor Liu.

"Senior sister, I want to ask you for someone."

"Who?" Zhao Xuebing asked coldly without even raising her head.

"Li Shi."

Li Shi's heart almost stopped when he heard the conversation between Cen Huaian and Zhao Xuebing.

Everyone knows that Zhao Xuebing has a bad temper, and she won't give you any face if you don't do your job well.

She is also capable, and many people in the laboratory need her help, so no one dares to offend her, and no one has ever dared to ask her for people or things in front of her.

"Li Shi? His ability is average."

Zhao Xuebing looked up at Li Shi, his face still expressionless, but Li Shi had already sensed Zhao Xuebing's dislike for him.

"He works hard."

Zhao Xuebing nodded: "That's right, I'll give it to you if you want it."

She said indifferently, lowering her head and continuing to sort out her own materials.

Cen Huaian thanked Zhao Xuebing and took Li Shi back to his own position not far away.

"Now you follow me to sort out the tasks assigned by the professor. Don't worry about the work of the senior sister."

"But."

Cen Huaian said in a strong tone: "No buts, the senior sister has promised you to follow me now, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Li Shi still looked worried, Cen Huaian said directly: "If you want to go back, go back now, and don't tell me about your affairs in the future." When

Li Shi heard this, the bullying of those people in the laboratory came to his mind again.

It was not in action, but more in the language of derogation, giving him all the work and calling him a fool, and all kinds of oppression...

These are the things that made Li Shi psychologically collapse.

His eyes became firm again: "Junior brother, I listen to you."

Cen Huaian smiled a little and assigned today's tasks to Li Shi.

Li Shi received the work he was supposed to do, and he was a little bit unbelieving: "Junior, is this all I have to do today? Isn't it a little too little?"

He usually does more than twice as much work as he does now.

"Not a small amount, you do it first."

Cen Huaian didn't explain much, just told Li Shi that he was helping him do the professor's work now, and he didn't need to care about other people's work.

"If you can't refuse, let them come to me."

Li Shi was deeply moved when he heard this. This was the first time he felt the love of his classmates in the laboratory.

He buried his head and hurried to work. He couldn't let down his junior's trust.

When Li Shi was checking data and organizing materials, someone came to ask him for help.

He looked at the person with embarrassment and said in a weak voice: "I... I have other work."

"This job was asked by my senior sister. It's more important. I can't finish it. Please help me. Otherwise, if my senior sister gets angry, all of us will suffer."

"But I..."

"Junior brother, you didn't watch someone in danger like this before. You just..."

"Didn't you hear him say he had his own job?" Cen Huaian suddenly interrupted the girl.

"I'm talking to Junior Li, it's none of your business."

Cen Huaian stood up, and the pressure of his height and momentum made the girl take a step back: "You...you're not going to hit anyone, are you? If you dare to hit me, my professor will directly chase you away!"

Cen Huaian ignored him, pulled Li Shi over and said: "Senior, do your thing."

"Hey!"

Cen Huaian stopped the girl: "Senior Li Shi is helping me organize the information now."

"Senior Zhao..."

"She knows."

The girl had nothing to say, and she didn't dare to confront Cen Huaian or Zhao Xuebing. She glared at Li Shi and walked away.

Li Shi watched the girl walk away with his remaining eyes, and suddenly a feeling of pride rose in his heart, and the whole person was very comfortable.

"Junior, thank you."

Cen Huaian: "Do your job."

Li Shi nodded "hmm", and worked more seriously.

After that, someone else came to look for Li Shi, but was turned away by Cen Huaian.

Someone actually went to Zhao Xuebing to complain, saying that without Li Shi, they couldn't finish their work, and asked Zhao Xuebing to take Li Shi back. He

also secretly flattered Cen Huaian: "Senior sister, Junior Cen openly raped your man, which obviously doesn't take people seriously! In my opinion, you should teach him a lesson and let him stop being so arrogant."

Zhao Xuebing suddenly looked up at the man: "Who is arrogant?"

"Cen Huaian. Look at how he looks after he came to the laboratory, he doesn't take anyone seriously..."

"Only incompetent people will think he is arrogant. If you feel that you can't finish the work, I can apply to the professor to let you leave the laboratory."

Zhao Xuebing just doesn't like to engage in interpersonal relationships, it doesn't mean she is stupid.

The boy was frightened by this and his face changed. He looked up at Zhao Xuebing's expression and found that her eyes were cold and she was talking seriously.

He immediately shook his head and said that he was wrong: "Senior sister, I didn't mean that. I can finish it. You should be magnanimous and ignore my mistakes. Just treat what I just said as bullshit."

Zhao Xuebing just looked at him without saying anything. The boy left quickly and didn't dare to gossip anymore.

At lunch time, Zhao Xuebing sat opposite Cen Huaian: "You have offended a lot of people in the laboratory."

Cen Huaian looked at her and nodded.

Zhao Xuebing: "Genius is envied."

Cen Huaian: "Those people are nothing to be afraid of."

He never took those people seriously, just a bunch of jumping clowns.

Zhao Xuebing nodded: "You are very good."

She was still thinking about whether to help or not. After all, he was the only researcher in the laboratory that she thought was worthy of attention.

Now she found that Cen Huaian had his own ideas and did not need her help at all.

Within the specified time, Cen Huaian and Zhao Xuebing completed their work and put together a project application.

Cen Huaian finished earlier than Zhao Xuebing. If he were alone, the time would be tight. But with Li Shi's help, he saved a lot of time, so that Cen Huaian did not have to work so hard and completed the task ahead of schedule.

Professor Liu flipped through the application form and became more and more satisfied: "Very good."

Then Cen Huaian and Zhao Xuebing returned to their normal scientific research work, waiting for the day to apply for the project.

The remaining parts of the application were done by Professor Liu himself. Cen Huaian and Zhao Xuebing had never been exposed to these parts, so they could not do them.

On the application day, Professor Liu only brought Cen Huaian and Zhao Xuebing with him. The two cooperated with Professor Liu's explanation and handed in a perfect answer sheet.

As for whether they can apply for the project in the future, it depends on whether the leaders who make the decision think that their application is competitive.

The rest is not the work that Cen Huaian and his team can get involved in. Cen Huaian is concentrating on new research in the laboratory.

"Huaian."

Cen Huaian had finished his meal and was riding his bicycle back to the laboratory when he heard a familiar voice.

"Tang Song."

Cen Huaian stopped the car on one foot and waited for Tang Song to come over.

He looked at Tang Song with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Have you heard from Zhang Lu?"

Cen Huaian shook his head: "She is in the military academy now. It is not convenient to communicate when she is on a mission or training."

Because they were all friends and Tang Song had a good relationship with him, Cen Huaian explained a few more words to him.

Tang Song frowned and looked worried.

"I haven't received a reply from her in several months."

"Me too."

Cen Huaian looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Tang Song opened his mouth and shook his head: "I know."

It seemed that he was not the only one who had no news from Zhang Lu, so he was relieved.

When Tang Song had not received any letters from Zhang Lu before, he was very worried that Zhang Lu didn't want to pay attention to him.

He hesitated for a long time, fearing that when he asked Cen Huaian, he would get an answer that he could not accept, so he did not come to Cen Huaian for a long time.

But as time went by, Tang Song couldn't sit still anymore, and his heart was getting heavier.

He thought for a long time before he finally prepared himself mentally. Even if the result was really bad, he would accept it as long as he could get news about Zhang Lu.

Now the result was good, and Tang Song didn't dare to ask for more.

Cen Huaian looked at Tang Song's back as he left, and his eyes showed deep thought.

But he didn't think much about it, and got on the car and hurried to do his own thing.

By the time the winter break came, there was still no news about the project application.

Professor Liu sighed every day in the laboratory, and the atmosphere in the laboratory became heavy. Everyone was very careful in doing things.

Cen Huaian had to do whatever he wanted. Before the results came out, anything could happen.

Professor Liu was so uneasy that he began to ask Cen Huaian: "When we were doing the project report, there were no mistakes, right?"

Cen Huaian showed Professor Liu the latest experimental report and said in a calm tone: "No."

"Why is there still no news? Have other factories been notified?"

Cen Huaian pointed to the report and said: "Teacher, look at this."

The application news is not something they can decide now.

Professor Liu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Huaian, you have a very stable personality. I am so old, but my mentality is not as good as yours. Forget it, it's not like we haven't experienced failure before. We have been through all kinds of storms. Even if we fail this time, it's nothing."

Professor Liu's mentality suddenly improved, and he concentrated on reading what Cen Huaian reported.

When the laboratory was about to close for the holiday, the project finally received news that Professor Liu's application was approved.

Professor Liu, who received the notice, was so happy that his face was smiling like a flower. He stood up and said loudly to everyone in the laboratory: "The teacher is very happy today, and I will treat you to dinner!"

"Oh~oh~oh~"

"Long live the teacher!" "

Teacher, you are the best teacher in the world!"

Everyone in the laboratory cheered, and everyone excitedly discussed where to eat.

Some people said they wanted to eat roast duck, which was the most famous in Beijing. Some people said they were tired of roast duck, and they always had it, so they should go to a famous restaurant.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere was very lively. They wished they could go to the restaurant right away.

As a result, at lunchtime, the professor took everyone to the cafeteria.

"What do you want to eat? Choose whatever you want. I'll treat you!"

"Teacher, what delicious food is there in the cafeteria?"

"Yes, we're tired of it."

"We want to go out to eat."

Professor Liu said righteously, "The leader said that frugality is a traditional virtue. The next work in our laboratory will cost a lot of money. You should save some for the teacher. Besides, what's wrong with the food in the cafeteria? Our school has opened so many delicious outlets. You can order the expensive dishes that you couldn't afford to eat before."

In fact, everyone just wanted to go out to eat. The food in the cafeteria of Jinghua University is not bad. Just like Professor Liu said, there are also many delicacies that are not big pot rice.

Cen Huaian was the first to order, and asked for a portion of sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Li Shi and Zhao Xuebing followed, and everyone else ordered quickly.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

The project application was approved, and everyone had to start working. But it was already the holiday, and the professor couldn't stop Cen Huaian and the others from taking a break.

So now everyone in the laboratory will go home for the New Year holiday, and after the New Year, everyone will come back to continue their research.

Cen Huaian can finally have a good rest at home.

Chuxia asked him, "Will you still be so busy next semester?"

Cen Huaian nodded, eating an apple in his hand and said, "The teacher has joined a new project, so he may be even busier next semester."

Chuxia changed the TV channel, picked up a tangerine and peeled it, saying, "Now I don't know who is busier between you and your father. I am the only one who has the most free time in this family. How is Bangzi's business?"

Cen Huaian: "It's the same as before, it has been good. He has opened another store now."

Although Cen Huaian has been very busy, he still has time to have lunch with Bangzi, and the two of them will discuss each other's recent situation.

Bangzi's business is very popular now, and it is most loved by female students from nearby universities. When those girls go out shopping, they must go to Bangzi's store.

In addition to all kinds of accessories, skin care products and intimate items that girls can use, Bangzi also imported all kinds of popular tapes, discs, posters of popular stars, postcards and magazines from Jiang Zhida.

In short, as long as it is something that girls like, Bangzi will now bring it to his boutique.

Every time there is a festival, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Christmas, which are festivals that students celebrate, the store will organize activities and festival features.

Because of reform and opening up, Western festivals have become popular among Chinese people at this time, and young people and students love to celebrate these festivals.

Every time these festivals come, the products launched by Bangzi can always sell more than ten times the usual quantity, and the price is also higher than usual.

But everyone likes it.

Bangzi also helps order and deliver cakes. If someone has a birthday and is afraid that they will miss their classes and cannot pick up the cake, Bangzi's shop can help with the cakes that were delivered a day in advance.

College students also like this business very much, and Bangzi makes a lot of money.

Because Bangzi and Maozai have classes and cannot watch the store all the time, they hired two people to watch the store.

Cen Huaian usually goes home in a hurry and has no time to talk to Chuxia so much.

After he finished speaking, Chuxia also became interested in Bangzi's shop.

Bangzi's shop is in the university town. Usually when Chuxia goes to school to see An An, Cen Huaian is too busy and has no time to come out, so she has no chance to visit Bangzi's shop.

"The store is closed now." Cen Huaian handed the peeled oranges in his hand to Chuxia: "I'll take you to see it when school starts."

Bangzi will definitely open on the first day of school, and he will open it in advance.

"Okay." Chuxia

is working during the Chinese New Year. She has transferred the shifts on New Year's Eve and after the Spring Festival to now, so that she can have a good rest during the Spring Festival.

Some people like to work the Spring Festival shifts, and their wages are doubled, while others don't like it. Everyone is happy to swap with each other.

If no one wants to swap with Chuxia, Chuxia will go by herself and will not work all the time, but the rest time will not be continuous.

Chuxia sat in the clinic and called the next person. When she looked up, she found that it was Jiang Zhida and a girl she knew who came in.

The girl was the person Jiang Zhida invited to play his girlfriend before - Tao Tao.

Chu Xia raised her eyebrows, with surprise in her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face, and asked in a businesslike manner: "Who is seeing the doctor?"

"Cousin, please help check on Taotao. She has been feeling unwell recently. She thinks she is not sick and does not want to go to the hospital for a check-up. I had to drag her here today."

Taotao looked embarrassed: "Sister Chuxia, I really don't think I am sick. I just have no appetite recently. Maybe she accidentally upset her stomach sometime."

Chuxia looked at Jiang Zhida, then at Taotao, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I'll just take your pulse. It's not as complicated as a Western medical examination."

Chuxia asked Taotao to stretch out her hand, and she carefully took her pulse. The pulse condition made Chuxia frown.

"Change hands."

Jiang Zhida's heart tightened: "Cousin..."

"Don't say anything."

Tao Tao glanced at Jiang Zhida, and her face showed some panic, fearing that she was really sick.

Chuxia's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she looked up at Cen Huaian, smiled jokingly and said, "Dazi, I don't know if this news is good news or bad news for you?"

Jiang Zhida swallowed his saliva and said, "Cousin, don't scare me by keeping me in suspense, just say it directly."

Chuxia didn't say anything, and asked him, "Tell me first, are you and Tao Tao really in a relationship now?"

"Really! It's realer than gold!" Jiang Zhida said immediately, putting his arms around Tao Tao's shoulders, with anxious worry on his face, "Cousin, please tell me quickly."

"Oh." Chuxia lowered her head and wrote on the medical record, "Then it's okay. It's not a serious illness, Tao Tao is just pregnant."

Chuxia threw out this bomb calmly, making Jiang Zhida and Tao Tao's eyes widen, and they all stood there stiffly.

After a long while, Jiang Zhida finally found his voice. He licked his lips and said carefully: "Cousin, can you say what you just said again?"

Chuxia looked at him with a smile, and the teasing expression on her face became even bigger: "I said, Tao Tao is pregnant!"

Tao Tao finally understood, but suddenly covered her face and started crying.

Jiang Zhida was so scared that he hugged her and asked immediately: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? It's just pregnancy! I'm not denying it."

"No...no." Tao Tao choked and said: "I...I am happy. And, my dream finally came true. You...you don't know, I have always regarded you as my hero. During the years when I liked you, I dreamed of marrying you and having a cute baby with you."

Chuxia looked at the two of them and became curious about the love between Jiang Zhida and Tao Tao. They both did such a good job at work that no one in their family knew that they were really in love.

But now they couldn't hide it from their family.

"Your mother can rest assured. She is finally not worried that you won't get married."

Yang Mei had urged Jiang Zhida to get married before, but Jiang Zhida kept putting it off. She even came to Chu Xia and Cen Huaian for help, asking them to find a way to cover up the fake partner.

At that time, Chu Xia and Cen Huaian said that they would make a real move. But neither of them took it seriously, thinking that Jiang Zhida would not do this. They mainly advised him to find a real partner in the remaining two years.

Unexpectedly, the most unlikely answer at the time has now become the best answer.

Jiang Zhida held Tao Tao in his arms, smiling so hard that his eyebrows were not visible. He no longer looked like a gangster, but just a silly father who was about to become a father.

"I will take Tao Tao home and tell my parents, and start preparing for the wedding right away. I am really amazing. Now my mother can hold her grandson in her arms. She must be so happy!"

Chuxia gave them the pregnancy precautions she had just written: "Okay, you go back and tell your uncle and mother now, and be careful."

Jiang Zhida took Tao Tao home.

Yang Mei and her uncle Jiang were discussing how much New Year's goods they should buy for the New Year this year, how much they should bring to Grandpa Jiang's house when they have the New Year's Eve dinner, and how much money they should give as gifts this year. These are all things that need to be considered.

They heard the door ring, looked up and saw Jiang Zhida leading Tao Tao in. Yang Mei and Jiang Dajiu were both stunned.

But they reacted quickly.

Tao Tao had been helping Jiang Zhida to keep away his family members for the past few years, but except for showing up in front of Jiang's family before, Jiang Zhida never brought her back again. He would only

take her home when Yang Mei urged him to.

Therefore, Chu Xia didn't know when the two of them really started a relationship. Jiang Zhida did a good job of hiding it from everyone.

Yang Mei quickly pulled Tao Tao to sit down: "Tao Tao is here, come and have some fruit. I just asked Da Zi's father to buy it today. Do you want to drink water? Or a drink?"

"Mom, she just needs boiled water."

"Pa!" Jiang Zhida's hand was slapped, and Yang Mei glared at him: "I asked Tao Tao, not you."

"Aunt, I just need boiled water."

Yang Mei poured her some water, and Tao Tao stood up in fear: "Aunt, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

"I'll do it." Jiang Zhida took the kettle.

The reason why Tao Tao rarely showed up in front of Jiang's family was that she felt that Jiang's family was too powerful, and she was too respectful and a little afraid to get along with them, fearing that she would make Jiang Zhida's relatives unhappy if she did something wrong.

In addition, Tao Tao felt guilty because she and Jiang Zhida pretended to be a couple before. She was afraid that if it was exposed, Jiang's family would have a bad impression of her and would not agree with her being with Jiang Zhida.

After Jiang Zhida and Tao Tao really got together, he mentioned taking her home, but Tao Tao was afraid and didn't come.

She also bought a lot of gifts when she came today.

If Jiang Zhida hadn't forced her to go to Chuxia for medical treatment, she would have prepared gifts for Chuxia's family even if she didn't have time to prepare.

Yang Mei looked at Jiang Zhida with satisfaction, and said to Tao Tao: "Yes, let Da Zi do something."

Jiang Zhida poured boiled water into the cups in front of Tao Tao and Yang Mei, and said to Tao Tao: "It's a little hot, drink it later."

Then he looked up at Yang Mei: "I brought Tao Tao here to tell you and Dad about our marriage."
