389: Unimaginable Difference (3 More)
"This is Aunt Zeng, who took care of me when I was a child."
Sister Zeng has been working as a nanny at Zhou Cheng's house for many years, and Guan Huimo returned to work just after Zhou Cheng was a month old. When Zhou Cheng was a child, she was always taken care of by Sister Zeng, not a simple babysitter. Xia Xiaolan also greeted:
"Hello Aunt Zeng."
The voice made Mrs. Zeng stunned for a while, and it took a while before she remembered to let Xia Xiaolan enter the door.
Xia Xiaolan twisted a light gift in her left hand, Zhou Cheng was holding a watermelon and other things, both of them were stunned when they entered Zhou's house.
The layout of Zhou Cheng's house, the first floor is an empty living room, the decoration is not luxurious, the furniture is all vintage, but the whole is very atmospheric. No matter how grand the living room is, it is cramped with a dozen people squeezed in - Xia Xiaolan is a little bit polite, doesn't she mean to have a light meal with Zhou Cheng's parents? So many people, all surnamed Zhou are here!
Xia Xiaolan recognized Zhou Yi and was standing next to an old lady with gray hair.
Zhou Cheng was also stunned for a while, and quickly reacted:
"Everyone is here today, so we can meet my partner Xiaolan together. Xiaolan, this is my grandfather and grandma."
Although Mr. Zhou has been retired for a few years, his arrogant temperament is still there. No one in the Zhou family dares to make trouble with Mr. Zhou. Every time Zhou Yi is a little careful, he feels that he will be seen through by the old man.
Ordinary people will tremble in the calf when the old man looks at him twice, and his granddaughter dare not look him in the eye.
Xia Xiaolan also knew that this old man was in a high position in the past, not to mention that she started from such a low starting point in her life, that she worked hard to become President Xia in her previous life, and she had no chance to talk to Grandpa Zhou Cheng... Now the situation is different, she is not here. The person who begged Mr. Zhou to do things. She was the girlfriend that Zhou Cheng brought home. She had no desires and no demands, so Xia Xiaolan could naturally be very calm.
"Good morning Grandpa Zhou, good grandma."
Old Master Zhou and Xia Xiaolan's eyes met in mid-air, Xia Xiaolan's eyes were smiling, respectful, confident, but not humble.
She didn't avoid Old Master Zhou's eyes!
The old man Zhou gave a soft "um". This girl is very beautiful. At first glance, she looks a little too beautiful, and she has a bit of charm, but this girl's eyes are very pure, but she is a bit rebellious, and she is not the type to be obedient at home with her husband and children.
Grandma Zhou is much more enthusiastic. Why do young girls dress so plain? They always wore blue and black at that time because there was no other color. Xia Xiaolan was wearing a red dress, tall, fair skin, with a touch of natural rosy cheeks, and her hair was healthy and shiny.
When grandma sees what granddaughter-in-law chooses, doesn't it depend on her health and appearance?
Grandma Zhou really doesn't care about the family background, it's the best if her eldest grandson likes it.
"Hello, hello, you're welcome, take this place as your own home."
Grandma Zhou's first impression of Xia Xiaolan was pretty good, and the only ones who were afraid that the girl would be too good-looking were uneasy families. The Zhou family couldn't contain Xia Xiaolan's beauty, so who else could she find?
Xia Xiaolan also saw that Grandma Zhou had a good impression of her, so she smiled too much at the old lady, and the old lady couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was clearly said to hold it a little before, but now where can it be held? With this attitude of Grandma Zhou, the rest of the Zhou family would not be too embarrassed for Xia Xiaolan.
Zhou Cheng introduced them in turn. Today in the living room is his aunt and cousin Zhou Yi. Zhou Cheng's two aunts, as well as several cousins of the two families. In addition to the old man Zhou, the male elders only had Zhou Cheng's younger uncle, and he did not see his uncle and second uncle.
Zhou Cheng's parents were not seen.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't care how others look at her, she wants to see the Lord.
Just thinking about it, a tall and thin woman walked down the stairs, "Zhou Cheng, you're back. I just called your father. He might not get home in a while."
The son is like a mother, and when Zhou Cheng grows up like this, Guan Huimo will not be bad either.
But Guan Huimo has a very heroic appearance, and is a bit strict when not smiling, which is completely different from Xia Xiaolan.
"Mom, I'm looking for you. I brought Xiaolan home."
Guan Huimo's eyes fell on Xia Xiaolan. How should I put it, Xia Xiaolan was the same as she imagined, but a little different.
Wearing a red dress, she was as high-profile as she imagined. The difference is her temperament. Xia Xiaolan stood there without shrinking her neck or looking around. She really didn't look like a rural girl who had never seen anything in the market!
"Hello Auntie, I'm Xiaolan."
Xia Xiaolan was not in a hurry to flatter, but Guan Huimo was a little dazed. On the one hand, she felt that her son's vision should be like this, and on the other hand, she felt that a rural family could not raise such a girl. Could it be that after being with Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng paid a lot of money to support it like this? ?
"Well, hello, welcome to the house. Let's go to the living room and chat with grandma for a while. Dinner will be served in a while."
Guan Huimo seemed to be in a trance, but his face was not ugly, Zhou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He is not afraid of opposition from his family, it is useless to oppose, he will still be with Xiaolan. He was afraid that his family would embarrass Xiaolan, and his daughter-in-law would not want him in a rage!
Zhou Cheng didn't know why so many people came today, he winked at Xia Xiaolan and asked the leaders to take more care.
Xia Xiaolan thought to herself that she would settle accounts later, and she must not lose her face at this time.
Back in the living room, Grandma Zhou pulled her to sit next to her.
Zhou Yi can only be pushed away. Where does Grandma Zhou care about her granddaughter or not now, what she is curious about is the granddaughter-in-law:
"Sitting next to grandma, I have heard Xiaoyi say that Zhou Cheng is in a relationship, and I want to see you long ago.
I saw it! "
Grandma Zhou is enthusiastic, and Xia Xiaolan is also willing to follow the old man to say, the old lady is not undivided, so she asks where is Xia Xiaolan's hometown, how old is this year, what can't you answer these questions?
Just turned 19 years old, and Zhou Cheng is the right age.
It doesn't matter if your hometown is from the countryside. In the generation of Mr. Zhou, the Zhou family is also muddy.
It's just that this is not a good place, so Grandma Zhou is very worried: "Zhou Cheng has a special occupation, you will take more care of him in the future and be more accommodating. Have you ever wanted to come to the capital to work? You should be closer to Zhou Cheng, so that Grandma can watch at any time. your turn."
Grandma Zhou took care of Xia Xiaolan's self-esteem. She said it very euphemistically. Xia Xiaolan was a little moved. Grandma Zhou Cheng was really kind.
Zhou Yi said sourly, "Grandma, you are really partial. Why didn't I see you caring about my work? How old is Xiaolan, and you didn't let people take it lightly for two years."
What kind of job is Xia Xiaolan looking for? Zhou Yi sees that there is nothing cheap on the other side. The red dress is definitely a high-end item only available in department stores. The open-toed sandals under her feet are also of high-quality leather. She also wears a one-shoulder one. packet. Just this one, you can't get it without a few hundred dollars. Last time, Zhou Cheng also took Xia Xiaolan to eat Japanese food, and with Zhou Cheng, the living standard of the rural girl improved linearly.
Xia Xiaolan really didn't want to slap her in the face, but Xia Xiaolan hated Zhou Yi's chatter.
"actually, I--"
"Grandma, in fact Xiaolan will come to the capital to study in September. She was originally going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to go to university, but she changed it to the capital for me. She has already accommodated me very much!"
