Chapter 1201: The Shock of the People in the Compound
The waiting time was particularly sad.
After the Zhou family members finished talking, they waited in the living room for a long time. It felt like half a century had passed, but in fact, the quartz clock hanging on the wall had only moved two scales, so only ten minutes had passed.
"Oh, how come it's been so long, why haven't Mingxuan, Xiaoxue and the others arrived yet?
Could something have happened on the way?" Wu Yunshang looked at the clock on the wall and said anxiously.
Mr. Wu, who was sitting with his back to the quartz clock, turned his head to check the time and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"It's not even nine o'clock yet, why are you in such a hurry?
I remember Mingxuan left the house around eight o'clock, and it's been less than an hour. It's impossible for him to come here so quickly."
"I remember you spent more than half an hour getting dressed upstairs just now.
You are already old, and it takes so long. It shouldn't take a little girl even longer." Mr. Wu complained.
His daughter has loved dressing up since she was young. Now she has been a grandmother for many years, but she has not changed.
Wu Yunshang blushed and glanced at her husband and father-in-law, "Dad, how dare you talk about your own daughter like that?"
Wu Lao shrugged, “But they might be soon.
After all, Xiaoxue never puts on makeup like you, and she won’t spend too much time at home.
In just an hour or so, if we don’t waste too much time on the road and at home, we should be almost there.”
Feeling anxious waiting at home, Mr. Zhou simply stood up.
"You guys wait at home, I'll go to the gate to greet you.
It’s too hard to wait at home.”
"This is Xiaoxue's first time here, and she still has to go through several inspections at the door. I don't know how long it will take.
I might as well go over there and be her guarantor to speed up the process."
"Then I'll go with you." Old Wu stood up and said, "Xiaoxue and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to see her sooner."
The other three thought what he said was that he hadn't seen Xiaoxue since he returned to Beijing, which was already a year and a half, which was indeed quite a long time.
"Okay, then you come with me and let's visit uncle." Old Zhou nodded.
Zhou Yunting didn't want to wait foolishly, so he stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go with you.
We will lead Xiaoxue in later and introduce her to the people we meet on the road."
Zhou Yunting didn't say the rest, but everyone present was an old fox, so how could they not understand the meaning of his words?
The two generations of the Zhou family's heads personally went to the door to greet them, giving Liu Jingxue enough face, which showed how much they valued this future granddaughter-in-law.
Anyone with a bit of common sense in the compound knew that the Zhou family was satisfied with this girl, and no one dared to say anything inappropriate.
If there are any brainless people who come and complain again, I'm sorry, since you don't give face to the Zhou family, don't blame the Zhou family for peeling off your face and stepping on the ground.
Mr. Zhou waved his hand with satisfaction, "Then let's go to the door to greet them together.
I will lead Xiaoxue in and introduce her to the scenery along the way."
Introducing the scenery is fake, introducing Liu Jingxue to others is real.
A group of four people walked towards the gate of the compound together, and the scene was quite eye-catching.
People they met on the road greeted the three members of the Zhou family.
"Mr. Zhou, where are you and your family going to go?" Someone couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
This is not just someone sending a pillow to someone who is sleepy, but the Zhou family is still worrying about how to spread the news.
When he heard this question, Mr. Zhou immediately responded with a smile.
"It's Mingxuan who's bringing his girlfriend to meet us. We've been waiting anxiously at home, so we plan to go to the door to greet them."
As they left, many curious people followed them closely to see what they were going to do.
Naturally, what Mr. Zhou said reached their ears.
Everyone who heard it was shocked.
"What is the background of Zhou Mingxuan's girlfriend that she even attracted two generations of Zhou family heads and the head mistress to go to the door to greet her.
This is a bit too retrograde."
Perhaps someone was so surprised that he said it unconsciously.
Being questioned, Mr. Zhou did not get angry, but explained cheerfully,
"Mingxuan's girlfriend doesn't come from a wealthy family as you say. She is just an educated youth who went to the countryside with him.
Her family is the same as ours, with three generations serving in the army. Her parents died in their early years, and they are children of martyrs.
Other relatives are now serving in the military.”
"Everyone knows what our Mingxuan was like before and what he is like now.
Mingxuan has made a lot of progress since he went to the countryside, and he took the national liberal arts exam in the college entrance examination. This is all due to the influence of this girl. It’s all thanks to this girl.”
"How can our Zhou family not value such a good girl?"
"So that's how it is. This girl is really good." Someone nodded in agreement.
After all, as neighbors living in the same compound, they are quite aware of the changes that Zhou Mingxuan has undergone in recent years.
Someone curiously asked, "Mingxuan has been back for a while. He didn't bring his girlfriend here before, but now he's bringing his girlfriend to meet his parents. Could this girl be from Beijing?"
“It wasn’t before, but it will be in the future.
You don’t know, but this girl is quite amazing. She was the national top scorer in science reported in the newspaper some time ago.
But she didn’t like to attract too much attention, so she asked people to hide her name and didn’t allow her photo to be published.” Zhou explained.
"Oh my god, he's actually the national champion in science.
I remember that the top scorer in science scored 400 out of 397 points. She was indeed a girl, and her surname seemed to be Liu.
Could that person be Mingxuan's girlfriend?" Someone among the onlookers asked in surprise.
Wu Yunshang said proudly, "She is indeed Mingxuan's girlfriend. Her name is Liu Jingxue."
"My goodness, your Zhou family is in big trouble this time, the national champion in liberal arts has fallen into your family.
"Old Zhou, you have to treat us to tea, good tea." An old man in the crowd who looked older than Old Zhou couldn't help but speak.
“Hahaha,” Mr. Zhou laughed happily, “Tea please, no problem.
Come to my house some other day and I'll treat you to good tea.
Not only good tea, but also good wine."
“Then let’s make it a deal.
Your good tea and good wine are not so easy to get.
I have to talk to Lao Wang, Lao Jiang and the others, and ask them to go with us and rob you more."
"No problem, you can go ahead, there's plenty of good tea and wine.
As long as my sister-in-law doesn't cause trouble for me."
The Zhou family chatted with people all the way to the door, leaving behind a crowd of people who were talking non-stop.
“Isn’t the Zhou family exaggerating a bit?
Even if the girl has taught Zhou Mingxuan well, there is no need for the man’s grandfather, grandfather-in-law, parents to personally go to the gate to greet him when he comes to visit for the first time.”
“I think it’s a bit exaggerated.”
Someone nearby disagreed and said, "What do you know?
If Zhou Mingxuan was my son, it would be that girl who turned Zhou Mingxuan from the original person he was into the capable man he is today.
This is her first time visiting, so I would be happy to go to the front door to pick her up, let alone her house. "
"that is.
There are no useless children in your family, I can't understand.
Besides, the girl herself is quite capable. She scored 400 out of 397 points, which is quite amazing.
I remember your son also took the college entrance examination, also in science. How many points did he get?"
The person being asked thought of his son's embarrassing score and said hesitantly,
“I’m not talking about the Zhou family, why are you suddenly asking about my son’s grades.
I have something else to do, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, as if someone was chasing him.
Someone nearby sneered, "You don't know yet, her son scored 197 points.
She was 200 points less than Mingxuan's boyfriend, so she couldn't bear to say that. "
"The national number one in liberal arts is Zhou Mingxuan, and his partner is the national number one in science. I find it hard to believe this. It's impossible for such a good thing to fall into the Zhou family.
Do you think Mr. Zhou is lying?" someone questioned.
"You know what kind of person Mr. Zhou is. How could he say such a thing?
This must be true.
I am a little curious about what the national science champion looks like. Is she a nerd? "
"That's easy. The girl will be here soon. We just need to wait and see."
"Yes, let's wait here. The Zhou family will bring the girl over soon. Let's wait and see."
