Doctor: start with the heart

Chapter 136 Family Banquet and Overnight Stay

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Sitting next to Zhang Guoer at the table, Zhao Xu looked at the three siblings of the family, Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi, and Zhang Youqing.

It can be said that it is worthy of being a family. Although they are all middle-aged, they all look like those fat and greasy middle-aged people, which are completely different concepts.

This was Zhao Xu's first time participating in this kind of family banquet. How should I put it, it felt pretty good.

Moreover, the people in this family are relatively easy-going. Whether it is Zhang Zhiwei or Zhang Huaiyi, although they are both elites, they are very easy-going in their lives and will not put on too much airs.

"Xiao Zhao, don't be too restrained, just treat this as your own home."

Seeing that Zhao Xu still couldn't let go, Zhang Huaiyi said with a smile.

For Zhang Huaiyi, Zhao Xu was his greatest blessing. It was not the first time he was praised and affirmed by his superiors because of the outstanding achievements of the research center.

It can be said that as long as he stabilizes well, he will be able to take a further step and take the most critical step in his official career in a short time.

"Yes, we will spend a long time together in the future."

Zhang Youqing also said with a smile.

In fact, she still had concerns about her niece being with Zhao Xu before, but recently she figured it out. For a girl like Guoer, there is no one more suitable for her than Zhao Xu.

Although born in an ordinary background, he is very talented, very responsible, and does not have those bad habits.

In the foreseeable future, whether it is fame, status or personal wealth, there will still be a very big leap. If such a person is not lucky enough, how could it be possible to meet him.

"Second uncle, aunt, you talk too much..."

Seeing his second uncle Zhang Huaiyi and aunt Zhang Youqing talking all the time, Zhang Guoer couldn't help saying.

She didn't want Zhao Xu to feel too much pressure. She knew that as a boy, attending his girlfriend's family dinner for the first time and coming to eat at home would be very nervous.

She liked Zhao Xu so much and wanted the best for Zhao Xu in everything. When she was with her, she hoped that Zhao Xu would feel the most comfortable.

"Okay, you kid, don't we care about Xiao Zhao and want him to be less nervous and restrained?"

Zhang Youqing said with a smile.

"It's just like you that makes people more nervous!"

Zhang Guoer couldn't help complaining.

If it was her, the first time I went to Zhao Xu's house, I would definitely feel a lot of pressure in the face of all kinds of short-sighted inquiries from the elders.

Although she may not have such a chance.

"It's okay, the atmosphere is actually pretty good."

Although Zhao Xu was a little nervous, he still liked the warm atmosphere of this family.

Ever since his grandparents left, he had never experienced this kind of warm family feeling.

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, if your parents come to Beishi, you can meet them."

Zhang Youqing said again.

"Auntie, it's too early. Besides, it's not convenient."

Zhang Guoer glared at her aunt and said.

"What's so inconvenient about it? It's a matter of time!"

Zhang Youqing said with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm afraid it's really inconvenient. My parents divorced when I was very young. I used to have grandparents, but when I went to college, they were gone."

Zhao Xu said slowly, this will be said sooner or later.

Instead of asking the bottom line later, it is better for him to speak out generously.

"Ah? Xiao Zhao, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Youqing didn't expect Zhao Xu to come from such a family background, and it was only after a while that he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Zhao Xu shook his head slightly and said.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you complete your studies?"

Zhang Youqing asked again very curiously.

"On the one hand, I have a scholarship, on the other hand, I also do a work-study program. In fact, I had a good life during college."

All the people here are Zhang Guoer's family members. As Zhang Guoer's boyfriend, he may be a family in the future, so Zhao Xu said these things that he never said.

But he didn't want people to think that he was suffering.

To be honest, when he was in college, on the one hand, his grades were very good and he won a national scholarship.

On the other hand, the money he earns through tutoring and other part-time jobs is enough for an ordinary college student to live well.

The reason why Zhao Xu was able to do well in college was due to the country's comprehensive scholarship system, and of course, his own ability.

"It's not easy for you, child."

Zhang Youqing is a woman, and she is more emotional. When she thinks that Zhao Xu will be alone in college, earning living expenses by herself, and has no family to rely on, her eyes will become moist.

What a boy!
"Yes, Xiao Zhao, I didn't expect your college life to be like this."

Zhang Huaiyi also said with some emotion.

Although Zhao Xu said it lightly, he knew that going to university alone, and after graduation, still taking root in a big city like Beishi, the difficulty and hardship involved were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Uh... Actually, to be honest, I had a good time in college. I have a national scholarship for tuition fees, and my monthly tutoring money is enough for living expenses. After graduation, I will work in the First Affiliated Hospital. Although the salary is not high, it is actually quite enough.”

Seeing Zhang Youqing and Zhang Huaiyi's very moved expressions, Zhao Xu couldn't help explaining.

"That's how rare it is, Xiao Zhao. You can have such a positive heart, not afraid of setbacks, and a heart to work hard. This is something that many young people don't have."

Zhang Zhiwei said suddenly.

He is a university professor himself, and he sees college students every day, so he knows more about college students than everyone present here.

Among the college students he came into contact with, there were very few who had Zhao Xu's disposition.

Think about it, such an achievement at such a young age, but in Zhao Xu's body, he did not see the arrogance of becoming famous at a young age, which is very rare.

Seeing her father, second uncle, and aunt all praise her boyfriend in this way, Zhang Guoer had a bright smile on her face.

However, when she thought that Zhao Xu had been alone all these years, she felt very distressed.

Well, after he has me, he will have a family.

Zhang Guoer looked at Zhao Xu with affectionate and soft eyes, and couldn't help thinking.

"When I was in high school, I saw a sentence, "Heaven is moving forward, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. I thought at the time that this was my motto for the rest of my life. Even though I came here all these years alone, I didn't feel too much suffering." Tired. As long as I can constantly improve myself and keep improving, this feeling is already very good for me.”

Zhao Xu said seriously.

He doesn't need anyone to feel sympathy or anything for his experience of being alone in those years, and sometimes there is no difference between being alone and having more people.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, everyone present was a little moved.

What he said was simple, but in the process, from going to college alone to the present level, how much effort has been made and how many hardships have been experienced, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

"Well, Xiao Zhao, the past is the past, and this will be your home from now on."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhao Xu and said in relief.

Only such a person is qualified to be Zhang Zhiwei's son-in-law!
He also didn't ask Zhao Xu's parents why they ignored him all these years. There was no logic in reality, and some things in reality were even more absurd than those written in novels.

He is well-informed and has a deep understanding of human nature. He knows that not all parents are full of love for their children.

Some people, who are not suitable in themselves, are combined for the wrong reasons and have children. Then this child is a mistake for these people and these parents.

After divorce, parents don't care about their children and leave their children to grandparents or grandparents. In this society, there are actually a lot of them.

Then it was normal eating and chatting, and everyone agreed to not ask Zhao Xu about his family anymore.

After the meal, the nanny cleared the table, while Zhao Xu sat on the sofa, drinking tea, and eating.

"Why didn't you tell me about your family before? I didn't even know about it."

Sitting beside Zhao Xu, Zhang Guoer said with some distress.

"It's really nothing, I only said it today when I asked about it."

Zhao Xu explained a little bit dumbfounded.

People have established cognitions. In the eyes of others, Zhao Xu's parents divorced him since he was a child, and when he was in college, his grandparents went there one after another. So Zhao Xu must have lived a normal life. It's extremely difficult, it's the kind that makes people sad when they hear it and tears when they see it.

But for Zhao Xu, it wasn't like that at all.

Although his parents didn't care about him, his grandparents also gave him a happy and complete childhood, and there was nothing lacking in caring.

After going to college, although the departure of his grandparents hit him hard, but with the care of his classmates, friends and teachers, he slowly came out.

It can only be said that for a good-looking and talented person, no matter what time it is, they can live a good life.

"Well, I know, I won't mention it in the future."

Zhang Guoer nodded vigorously, and looked at Zhao Xu, with a maternal and caring light unnaturally exuding from her body.

"Xiao Zhao, just watch TV with Guoer and take a break. I have something to do, so I need to go to school."

Zhang Zhiwei answered the phone, walked over with a serious expression, and said to Zhao Xu.

As for Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Youqing, they were busy people and left after eating.

"Ah."

Zhao Xu nodded.

"Dad, are you coming back tonight?"

Seeing Zhang Zhiwei's solemn expression, Zhang Guoer knew that something must have happened at school, so she asked worriedly.

"Maybe I won't come back at night, and I have to deal with things at school. You clean up the guest room at night, and Xiao Zhao can sleep in the guest room."

Zhang Zhiwei said slowly.

"Well, I see, Dad."

Zhang Guoer nodded.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwei left in a hurry, not knowing what happened unexpectedly.

"I don't know what happened at school so late. I've never seen Dad look like this."

Sitting beside Zhao Xu, Zhang Guoer said worriedly.

"Don't worry, with uncle's ability, no matter what happens, he can handle it very well."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said.

"I hope so, but I still have a bad feeling in my heart."

Zhang Guoer nodded, but there was still worry in her eyes.

Aurora University is one of the top universities in Beijing, with very high standards and grades.

It can be said that no matter what happens at Aurora University, the outside world is very concerned about it.

It was so late, calling people away in a hurry, what happened must be no small matter.

"Don't worry too much, the level of Zhendan University is so high, it is definitely not just uncle who handles the matter."

Zhao Xu comforted Zhang Guoer again.

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Guoer nodded and rested her head on Zhao Xu's shoulder, feeling much more at ease in an instant.

"Well...wait for a while or I'll go back..."

Zhao Xu said suddenly.

Just before Zhang Zhiwei left, he had told Zhang Guoer to tidy up the guest room and let him sleep in the guest room. This was out of politeness and trust.

But Zhang Zhiwei didn't come back, and the nanny left after cleaning up. Now there are only Zhao Xu and Zhang Guoer here.

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, if they have no thoughts at all, they are not men.

"Dad already said, let you sleep in the guest room."

Seeing Zhao Xu's embarrassed look, Zhang Guoer couldn't help but said with a smile.

"I know it's a guest room, but I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep at night."

Zhao Xu said honestly.

"Why can't I fall asleep? You can't think about it. Although we are already together, I don't want to be so fast."

Zhang Guoer smiled sweetly and said softly.

Although she had identified Zhao Xu as a person, there were some things that had to be done slowly.

She is not the kind of casual girl, so she likes the feeling of step by step and success.

"What will you do if I think about it?"

Hearing what Zhang Guoer said, Zhao Xu couldn't help but half-jokingly said.

He is a very normal man, although he respects Zhang Guo'er very much and won't do anything so quickly, but if he wants to say nothing and just be Liu Xiahui purely, he can't do it even if he asks himself.

"Think about it yourself, I hate it!"

Zhang Guoer said shyly.

"How do I know if you don't tell me?"

Zhao Xu asked.

"Actually, I know all about boys. When I was studying abroad, the girls in the dormitory fell in love. Every time I came back from a date, they would talk to us a lot."

Zhang Guoer said again.

She is studying in a foreign university, so the atmosphere there is naturally more open. In fact, not to mention over there, even in China, after a college student falls in love, it is logical to open a room or something.

"Ahem, how clear are you?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help asking.

"They know everything. They talk about everything. For example, you boys like traditional crafts and watch videos."

Zhang Guoer said without hesitation.

We are all adults, since we all understand, there is no need to cover up.

Now is not the time when innocent love is popular.

"Uh... You really know a lot about traditional crafts..."

Zhao Xu was speechless.

"It's what they said, and I just listened to it. Before you, I have never been in love!"

Zhang Guoer said shyly.

She is the kind of very generous girl, but she is in love for the first time, and she is both a little bit looking forward to some things, but also a little bit shy,
