The world of film and television begins from childhood

Chen's mother covered her mouth and nose and sobbed, choking with sobs and said: "Nannan, Hongdou is here to see you. Hongdou also brought her boyfriend, are you happy?"

Xu Hongdou endured the sadness, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, bowed and put them in the incense burner.

Zhou Chen also walked over, lit three incense sticks, and worshiped with the same solemnity.

Xu Hongdou whispered to Chen's mother: "Auntie, Nannan has met Zhou Chen. Do you still remember the portrait of me and her that Nannan showed you? That was what Zhou Chen drew for me and her."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Mother Chen was really surprised. Of course she had seen the painting of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing. At that time, she heard from her daughter that it was painted by a painter in the park. She did not expect that it would be Zhou Chen.

"Fate, this is all fate."

Zhou Chen took the initiative and said: "Hongdou, you talk to auntie, and I will go to the kitchen to help uncle."

Chen's mother quickly tried to stop her: "No, Xiao Zhou, your uncle can be alone. You must be tired after driving for such a long time. Go sit on the sofa and rest for a while."

"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired."

Xu Hongdou grabbed Chen's mother and advised, "Auntie, let him go. He is indeed not too tired."

Zhou Chen came to the kitchen to help, but Chen's father politely declined again and refused to help at any cost. Zhou Chen had no choice but to exit the kitchen and sit in the living room.

In the room, Xu Hongdou was talking to Chen's mother, and then took out the specialties he had brought. The two sat in front of the bed and chatted for a long time. When they came out, their eyes were red.

Soon, Father Chen had the food ready, and the four of them sat down at the dining table.

"cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses together, Xu Hongdou drank it in one gulp and exclaimed.

Mother Chen said: "This is the wine that Auntie made herself. How do you like it?"

Xu Hongdou said: "This is too delicious."

Chen's mother was even more happy when she heard this, and Chen's father also said with a smile: "I don't know who planted two grapes by the east wall. They are quite strong. They are the grapes. Oh, they are sour. There is no one." Picking them, a lot of them were pecked by birds and attracted a lot of ants. Your aunt felt it was a pity, so she picked some and brought them back to make wine. Don’t tell me, it’s quite delicious.”

Mother Chen shared with a smile: "I distributed this wine to many neighbors, and later this sour grape vine became delicious food."

"Hongdou, Xiao Zhou, you eat, eat quickly, these are common meals, don't dislike it."

"Where is it? I was just going to say that uncle's stewed chicken is so good."

Zhou Chen also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, uncle, aunt, I think home-cooked meals are very good, it has a family atmosphere. To be honest, uncle and aunt, I haven't had such home-cooked meals since my parents passed away, and it's very I have rarely experienced such a warm and welcoming feeling at home.”

Although he has traveled through many film and television worlds and lived for many years, he often misses the food cooked by his parents. Maybe the food cooked by his parents is not very delicious, but the taste is really not something that others can make. .

Father Chen and Mother Chen were very surprised when they heard this.

"Xiao Zhou, you..."

"It's okay, uncle, aunt, I just feel it. My parents have been gone for more than ten years, and I have long been used to it."

Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at each other and said with emotion: "Good boy, it's not easy for you either."

The old couple even specially brought vegetables to Zhou Chen: "Come on, eat more, don't dislike it."

"Okay, thank you uncle and aunt."

Xu Hongdou said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you eat first, I will record it for my parents."

As she said that, she turned on her mobile phone camera, pointed it at the dinner table, and started filming.

"I'm at Nan Nan's house now. Uncle, I've prepared a big table of delicious dishes. This chicken is very fragrant. This is our chef, Uncle Chen, and this is our beautiful aunt."

Chen's father and Chen's mother were very happy to express their feelings to the camera.

After taking pictures, we started cooking again.

Chapter 1209: Fear of being close to home, prospective son-in-law comes to visit

After lunch, Chen's father and Chen's mother immediately became anxious when they learned that Zhou Chen did not live here.

"Xiao Zhou, you have come all the way and you don't have room to stay at home. How can you stay in a hotel? Do you think our conditions are not good? How about you and Hongdou stay in our room, and I stay with your uncle? Nannan’s room, no matter what, I can’t stay in a hotel.”

"Yes, Xiao Zhou, we will help you clean up now and replace everything with new ones."

Xu Hongdou explained for Zhou Chen: "Uncle, aunt, don't think too much. It's not that he doesn't want to live, but he still has work to do. We have been out for a few days, and his company still has business and meetings that he needs to handle. It’s more convenient to stay in a hotel, and he won’t bother me talking to my uncle and aunt here.”

Zhou Chen also said: "Yes, uncle, aunt, you really misunderstood. I don't mean to dislike it. Hongdou and I lived in wooden houses in the small courtyard in Dian Province. The environment was much worse than here. We Stay the same, I really have something to deal with, and staying here will disturb my uncle and aunt, but I will definitely be there on time for dinner tomorrow morning."

The reason why he doesn't live here is also very simple. After all, he and Xu Hongdou are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Living in the same room at the same time, which is Chen Nanxing's room, is not good after all. Of course, it is impossible to seize Chen's father and mother's room. Room.

Another point is that he is not familiar with Chen's father and Chen's mother after all. Unlike Xu Hongdou who can talk casually, he left because he wanted to give them more space to chat and get close. This was something he and Xu Hongdou had discussed in advance.

"Then this..."

Chen's parents and Chen's mother looked anxious. In the end, Xu Hongdou persuaded them again, and they agreed. However, they still agreed that Zhou Chen must come during the meal.

In the next two days, Xu Hongdou stayed at Chen Nanxing's house, paying filial piety to Chen Nanxing's father and mother on Chen Nanxing's behalf, and even went to pay homage to Chen Nanxing's tomb.

Xu Hongdou has been like the daughter of Chen's father and Chen's mother these days. She is very respectful and filial to them. She cooks with them, helps them dye their hair, cleans, goes out to exercise, and even sleeps in the same bed with Chen's mother at night. We would talk until very late every night.

The neighbors all knew that the Chen family had a beautiful and filial goddaughter. Not only did they come to see Chen's father and mother, they also brought many gifts and expressed their envy.

Zhou Chen would arrive on time every time he had a meal, and he would also drink with Father Chen several times, and even get Father Chen drunk.

But the happy days are destined to be short-lived. After three days of staying at Chen's parents' and Chen's mother's house, Xu Hongdou and Zhou Chen still had to leave.

On the occasion of parting, standing in front of the car, Chen's father and Chen's mother were extremely reluctant to leave.

Since the death of their daughter Chen Nanxing, these few days have been the happiest days for the couple. Maybe Xu Hongdou is not their biological daughter, but every time I see Xu Hongdou, it is like seeing my own daughter, and I feel extra relieved.

Xu Hongdou and Chen's mother hugged each other tightly and said, "Uncle, aunt, it's time for us to leave. You must take good care of yourself."

Chen Ma reluctantly let go of Xu Hongdou, and said with red eyes: "Hongdou, Xiao Zhou, please be safe on the road, be sure to be well, and say hello to your parents for us when you get home."

Xu Hongdou took Ma Chen's hand and said softly: "I will, Auntie, you must also be well. We will visit you and Nannan often in the future."

Zhou Chen said from the side: "Yes, uncle, aunt, Hongdou is your goddaughter. From now on, we will take time to visit you every New Year and holiday."

"Okay, okay, but just let people come over from now on. Don't bring any more things."

Chen's mother choked and said that Chen's father was not much better. No matter whether Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou would come again in the future, they felt really comfortable and happy when they said this.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhou Chen said specifically: "Uncle, aunt, when Hongdou and I get married, you must come."

Father Chen smiled and said, "That's for sure. When you get married, your aunt and I will definitely be there and give you a big red envelope."

Mother Chen also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, give me a big red envelope."

Xu Hongdou smiled deliberately and said: "Then I will remember it, and I will wait for the big red envelope from my uncle and aunt."

After chatting for a while, it was finally time to say goodbye. Chen's parents and Chen's mother held back their tears and waved goodbye to Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou.

Watching their car leave, Chen's mother couldn't control it anymore and shed tears, while Chen's father hugged her and whispered comfort.

"This is pretty good, isn't it? Hongdou is a very good kid, and Xiao Zhou is also very good. Since we said we would give a big red envelope, we must keep our word."

"Well, Xiao Zhou and Hong Dou's relationship is very good. I think they won't be far away from getting married. We need to prepare in advance."

…………

Xu Hongdou in the car also cried again, even more than when she left Yunmiao Village before.

Although they were all friends in Yunmiao Village, their position in her heart was still much lower than that of Chen Nanxing.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but just squeezed her hand to express comfort.

As a bystander, he knew that this was the only thing Xu Hongdou could do for Chen Nanxing's parents. After all, Xu Hongdou had his own parents and his own life, and it was impossible for him to become Chen Nanxing's shadow.

After being sad in the car for a long time, Xu Hongdou slowly recovered. After talking to Zhou Chen for a while, a smile appeared on her face again.

Chen Nanxing's home is also quite far away from Xu Hongdou's home. It still takes a day's drive, and you can almost reach home by evening.

Shortly after Xu Hongdou set out, she called her parents and told them that they would arrive in the evening.

As soon as Xu Hongdou's parents heard that they would be arriving in the evening, they quickly went to the market to buy vegetables and prepare to cook a table of delicious dishes for them.

It was a rare trip for their daughter to come back, and they originally wanted to make delicious food for her, not to mention that her daughter had brought her prospective son-in-law back.

Although they have not met the prospective son-in-law yet, they have heard the situation from their eldest daughter Xu Hongmi. Even the eldest daughter, who is so picky, feels that this person is very reliable, and they feel a lot more at ease in their hearts. The conditions of the prospective son-in-law So good, they couldn't embarrass their little daughter, so they had to prepare carefully.

And what Xu Hongdou didn't know was that after learning that she was bringing her boyfriend back, her aunt and cousin, who lived in the same city, also actively ran to Xu's house.

"Auntie, will the second sister really bring her boyfriend back this time?"

Xu Hongdou's cousin Yang Kexin was pregnant with a big belly, but she still wanted to gossip. It was after she heard the news that she begged her mother to bring her here.

Liu Guiqin, who was cleaning the room, said, "Yes, Dou and her boyfriend drove back and will arrive in the evening. Don't leave then, stay for dinner."

Yang Kexin said immediately: "I'm sure there's no problem. I came here today just to see my prospective second brother-in-law. I won't leave even if auntie drives me away."

"You kid, how can I drive you away? My aunt wants you to come every day." Liu Guiqin said with a smile.

Yang Kexin's mother, Xu Hongdou's aunt Liu Guisheng, also hummed: "Sister, don't worry about her, she is just talking now, with a big belly, she wants to go here and there, she is not uneasy at all." point."

Yang Kexin refused and said, "Mom, can you blame me? You won't let me go here or that. You won't let me eat this or that. It's too much."

After complaining for a while, she asked again in a very gossipy tone: "Auntie, I was chatting with the eldest sister, and I heard from the eldest sister that the boyfriend of the second sister is very outstanding, handsome, and very rich. He is a big boss of the company. Boss, is it true?"

Liu Guiqin smiled and said, "That's what your eldest sister said, but we don't know if it's true. After all, we haven't even met him in person, we just saw him a few times in videos, so we can't take it seriously."

"I also watched the video. He looks quite handsome in the video. He is tall and has a good figure. He looks like a model. He is handsome and stylish."

Yang Kexin's eyes lit up. She had always felt that in their family, the second sister was the most beautiful one. She would definitely have to find a handsome man when looking for a partner in the future. Now it seems that it is pretty much what she thought, the second sister's partner. Not only is he handsome, he is also very rich.

Liu Guiqin said: "We don't care about people's appearance or money. As long as we treat Dou well, your uncle and I will be satisfied."

Liu Guisheng said, "Sister, you two are blessed. Look at how successful Hongmi is now and how well she married. Now Hongdou has also found an excellent young man. You can just wait to enjoy happiness in the future."

"Your eldest brother-in-law and I are the kind of people who enjoy life. We don't expect to enjoy the blessing of children. As long as they can be safe and healthy, we will be satisfied."

Liu Guiqin was very open-minded. Their family had no shortage of food and drink. Both of them had pensions, which they couldn't spend at all. They had never thought of relying on their daughter.

"Ouch, it's getting late. You guys sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. I'm sure Lao Xu can't do it alone."

Zhou Chen got off the highway, followed the navigation, and went straight to Xu Hongdou's house.

"Our family still lives in the old house, but the new house has been renovated and we will probably move there soon. I will go back this time to help with the move."

"Really? Am I going to be a coolie?"

A dangerous light flashed in Xu Hongdou's eyes: "Why, you're still unwilling?"

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Of course not. Move, move, it's my father-in-law's family after all. I will still live in my parents' home when I return, so of course I have to work hard."

"Hate."

Xu Hongdou snorted, with a happy smile on her face. She was about to go home. She was really excited and happy, mixed with a little anxiety.

"Why, are you timid about being close to home?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Well, it's a bit. I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I really miss them."

Xu Hongdou said softly that when she used to work at the Capital Hotel, it was good to be able to go home once a year. Sometimes she couldn't go home even during the New Year. She knew she was sorry for her parents, but she still couldn't let go of work.

Zhou Chen said: "Since I miss you, I'll stay a little longer when I go home. Anyway, I don't have a job now, so I can stay as long as I want."

Xu Hongdou said: "I have no problem, but you, a freshman boss, don't go to the company for several months, is it really no problem? Look at my sister, she is not a big boss, she is so busy every day."

"Just because she is a worker, she is busy. How can a capitalist do 997?"

"Tsk, tsk, damn capital."

Xu family!

The food was all ready, and the fried sauce for the noodles was ready, so Xu Jianguo couldn't sit still.

He walked up to the three Liu Guiqin who were talking.

"Why haven't Dou and the others arrived yet? Otherwise, I should go to the gate of the community to pick them up. After all, this is also the first time for them to come to our house."

Yang Kexin said with a smile: "Uncle, you are an elder. My brother-in-law-to-be is here to visit you and my aunt, so there is no need for you to pick him up at the door."

But Liu Guiqin waved her hand: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, just go ahead. You can't sit still at home anyway, it's like you have a nail in your butt."

When Xu Jianguo heard this, he happily took off his apron and prepared to go out. But as soon as he reached the door and before he could change his shoes, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh, here it comes, here it comes."

Xu Jianguo cheered, and the three people sitting on the sofa immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Xu Jianguo quickly opened the door, and what caught his eye was his precious daughter.
