It stands to reason that Shen Yuanyuan just stayed at Zhou Minggao's house for one night, and it was time to leave the next day. But the next morning, after several people sat together and had breakfast, Zhou Menggui said that he would not let her go, and kept coquettish to Cao Yun, saying that he would let Sister Yuan stay, which made everyone both funny and helpless.

Cao Yun also liked Shen Yuanyuan very much, and felt that it was a good thing that Zhou Menggui could get along with Shen Yuanyuan, so he just pretended to refuse for a while and agreed. After agreeing, she couldn't help but mutter, "When did you two get so good?" ”

Zhou Weihai snorted coldly beside him, "How could she want to get this, it must have been taught by her brother." ”

“？？？” Zhou Minggao, who was eating, turned his head vigilantly and suspiciously-what does it have to do with me, why am I lying down again.

So, Shen Yuanyuan stayed at Zhou Minggao's house.

If this happened in a city like Province A, it would definitely not be a big deal, first, in a big city, everyone is not very interested in other people's affairs, and second, a couple of young couples who have reached their age and have already met their parents live together during the holidays, which is not a big deal. But in a more traditional place like Province J, this situation is a bit easier to fall into the mouth.

Several times when Shen Yuanyuan came out of Zhou Minggao's house and met his neighbors, he had to be looked at with strange eyes for a long time. In addition, the nature of Zhou Weihai's work is relatively special, and their family was originally considered a "celebrity" in the town, but their influence was expanded again. Shen Yuanyuan didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to their family, so he moved out before the Spring Festival. Zhou Minggao was afraid that she would be alone, so he often went to the hotel where she stayed to stay with her.

"Actually, you don't have to come." At lunch that day, Shen Yuanyu persuaded him again. "I was just here to play, I just had to play around by myself, why are you following me. It's hard to go home, but you still have to spend more time with your family. ”

Zhou Minggao was amused by her high-sounding official tone, "Saying that I am here for tourism, even if I deceive them, do you really believe me?" ”

"Why can't I be here for a tourist."

"Well, I'm not hard for you. Tell me where the street downstairs is. ”

“......”

Shen Yuan couldn't answer.

Indeed, of course, she didn't come to travel, she just wanted to come back to his hometown with Zhou Minggao. But these days, she has been looked at by strange eyes a lot, and muttered a lot in a dialect she doesn't understand, and she gradually became a little afraid. She slowly began to feel that it seemed that what she was doing was not quite the right thing - after all, she and Zhou Minggao were only in the stage of love, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to come over with him for the Spring Festival.

Normal couples are in different places at this time, and she should spend the New Year in her own home and with her family.

......

But where does she have a home?

My aunt stayed at her cousin's house during the Spring Festival, not to mention my mother, who celebrated the New Year with her current husband and son. Only Shen is curling, as if it is redundant anywhere.

Even so, you can't force Zhou Minggao's family to accept her, right? That's a moral kidnapping.

- For a while, this has been on her mind all the time, how can she still care about what is interesting downstairs.

"Lingering." Zhou Minggao shouted at her. "I know what you're thinking, you don't have to say I'm not you so I don't know, I just know. I know you're scared. In fact, I am also afraid, I am afraid that our family's kindness to you will turn into sympathy for you in your eyes, and I am afraid that you think we are sympathetic to you, so I choose to accept it. But the truth is, we all treat you like family now. ”

Shen Yuan raised his head and looked at him. "Really?"

"Yes, otherwise, how could a traditional parent like my parents allow you to come to my house for the New Year? I know that sometimes their attitude still makes you feel like an outsider, but have you ever thought that they are also afraid, afraid that they will surprise you? On the one hand, they don't want you to be alone in Province A, and on the other hand, they have to think about it - what if you haven't thought about marrying me in the future? Will they treat you as their own person so early, will it be a psychological burden on you? I don't have to think about these things, I know what you think, but my parents are different. They don't know, and they need to think. ”

After listening to Zhou Minggao's words, Shen Yuanyuan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I'm sorry." I seem to have forgotten to put myself in my shoes all along. ”

"Not really." Zhou Minggao smiled, "You are the most considerate person, but you don't know my parents, you don't know what they think." But it's okay, with me as the middleman, I know everything. ”

His tone changed from the solemn thing just now to his usual relaxed tone, and Shen Yuan glanced at him and smiled.

It turns out that many things are not that complicated. She is a simple and kind person, and Cao Yun and Zhou Weihai are also simple and kind parents, but they each have their own concerns. They are just worried about "how to get along with each other better", not for a few gossips from other people, and they are in a hurry to stay away from each other.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Yuanyuan and Zhou Minggao returned home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. Everyone had a sincere smile on their faces, and it seemed that no one had any problems.

Shen Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Minggao, the "middleman", must have comforted Cao Yun and Zhou Weihai as if he had comforted her. As for Zhou Menggui, her little heart has been settled since she told Shen Yuanyuan, and she began to smile all day long. After going to junior high school, she had a small mobile phone of her own, and two days ago she also added Shen Yuanyuan's contact information, saying that she would often play with her in the future.

They sat together, eating, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and chatting. Everyone talked about what they had seen and heard in the past year, sometimes Zhou Weihai and Cao Yun couldn't control themselves from saying a few words of J provincial dialect, and Zhou Menggui rushed to be Shen Yuan's translator. When she encounters a special word that can't be translated into Mandarin, she will think about it for a long time, and finally hold back a translation that makes everyone laugh.

In this situation, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of Mr. Wang Zengqi's sentence - the family is sitting idle, and the lights are amiable.

After her father died, she didn't expect that she would be able to have such a warm and "home" related clip.

She didn't dare to think about it.

Unconsciously, she had already regarded Zhou Minggao's family as her own. She knows that this is not all because she lacks the love and warmth of her family, but because the other party is Zhou Menggui, Aunt Cao and Uncle Zhou, just like she likes Zhou Minggao because he is Zhou Minggao, and she likes a specific person and this family.

And she has already been silently accepted by this lovely family.
