The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi were as happy as children at this moment. In their opinion, Zhou Chen's change of surname to Zhou was tantamount to his recognition of them. As for his name, they didn't care.

The reason they wanted to adopt a boy was to leave descendants for the Zhou family. However, if they did not allow the adopted child to change his surname to Zhou, how could it be considered leaving descendants for the Zhou family?

So after adopting Zhou Chen, they began to consider how to get closer to Zhou Chen and allow Zhou Chen to change his surname to Zhou.

But they never expected that before they even raised the question, the child actually raised the question first. Not only did he take the initiative to say that he wanted to have the surname Zhou, but he even thought of a name.

Zhou Chen showed an 'innocent' smile.

"Since it sounds nice, I will call you this from now on. Uncle and aunt, you can no longer call me Xiao Ming. You must call me this name."

Sun Yi nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then Auntie will call you Xiaochen from now on, okay?"

"it is good."

After Zhou Chen mentioned changing his name, Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi became obviously more affectionate towards Zhou Chen, as if Zhou Chen had really become their son.

As for the fact that Zhou Chen still calls them uncle and aunt, they don't care at all. They believe that as long as they continue to spend time together, Zhou Chen will sooner or later call them dad and mom.

Zhou Guofu held his wife's hand, and they both smiled. At this moment, they felt that the future was full of light.

The roads at that time were naturally not comparable to those decades later. The main road went around the small road, and the small road went around the main road. It took more than three hours to drive a distance of nearly 100 kilometers.

"Xiaochen, we are home."

Sun Yi pulled Zhou Chen out of the van, while Zhou Guofu was paying the bill with the driver.

Zhou Chen looked up and saw that this should be a nice residential area. There were rows of five- or six-story buildings standing here. The walls of the buildings were basically white and there was nothing different to look at.

Sun Yi pointed to a six-story building in front of them and said to Zhou Chen, "Uncle and auntie live on the third floor, 301. That will be your home from now on."

Today's buildings are not like those of later times. The first floor is not a garage or storefront, but a real first-floor residence, and the floors are counted from the first floor.

The building has six floors, and the third floor is right in the middle, which is a good location. It is also an east-facing unit, so it must get plenty of sunlight.

In this day and age, those who can live in an apartment building cannot be said to have very good conditions, but their conditions are definitely better than most people.

Zhou Guofu had already settled the bill with the van driver and walked over carrying a large bag.

This bag is Zhou Chen’s bag. It contains all of Zhou Chen’s things. There aren’t many things, but they form a large bag.

"Let's go, let's go home, Xiaochen."

Sun Yi stretched out her hand, placed it in front of Zhou Chen, and said with a smile on her face.

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and placed his hand in Sun Yi's palm.

Sun Yi's smile suddenly became even brighter. She took Zhou Chen's hand and said to Zhou Guofu, "Lao Zhou, Xiao Chen, let's go home."

As the three of them arrived at the stairs, a woman came towards them. When she saw the Zhou couple, she immediately greeted them.

"Professor Zhou, Teacher Sun, where are you going? Who is this child?"

Sun Yi smiled and replied: "Sister Hong, we just came back from outside, this is my son, Zhou Chen, Xiao Chen, this is Aunt Huang."

Zhou Chen obediently called out, "Hello, Aunt Huang."

Huang Hong was obviously stunned. It took her a while to react. "Okay, okay, Xiaochen, right? You're really handsome."

Zhou Guofu didn't mean to say more, and said with a smile: "Sister Hong, let's go up first."

"okay."

After the three members of the Zhou family went upstairs, Huang Hong still hadn't come to her senses.

"What's going on? They don't have any children, so how come they suddenly have a son? And he's so grown up."

They were neighbors living in the same building, and she knew something about Professor Zhou's family situation, so she was very puzzled by Zhou Chen's appearance.

Zhou Guofu opened the door lock skillfully, and Sun Yi led Zhou Chen in first. After the couple put their things down, they took Zhou Chen to visit the room.

"Xiaochen, this is your home from now on. This is the living room. The TV is right here. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV from now on."

Zhou Chen quickly glanced around and found that it was actually a three-bedroom apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

This 100-square-meter house is different from what it will be more than ten years later. There is no elevator and the common area is very small. It is not surprising that the usable area of ​​a 100-square-meter house is as high as 90%.

The TV in the living room is also a large color TV, about 20 inches in size. There is a sofa, a coffee table, etc. It has everything you need, and it is very tidy.

Sun Yi continued to pull Zhou Chen to introduce: "This is the restaurant. Tell uncle and auntie what you want to eat in the future, and uncle and auntie will cook it for you. This is uncle and auntie's room, this is uncle's study, and the remaining room is the room we prepared for you. Now there is only a bed and a table. Tomorrow auntie will buy you toys and a lot of things to fill up the room, okay?"

"it is good."

Zhou Chen did not refuse. Although he had no idea about toys, Sun Yi tried so hard to introduce and please him because she wanted to get closer to him. If he refused, Sun Yi might think too much.

Sun Yi instructed Lao Zhou, "Lao Zhou, take Xiaochen's things out and put them in the room first. I'll go cook."

Then he said softly to Zhou Chen: "Xiaochen, I'll take you to the living room to watch TV for a while. The food will be ready soon."

"Ah."

Zhou Chen looked at the turned-on color TV with great interest, because he had not seen this kind of color TV for many years.

The last time I saw it was in the world of "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze Is Not as Good as You". The background of that world was also the 1990s, but because it was set in the capital Yanjing, it was much more prosperous than here.

Today's televisions use antennas, which can search for many TV stations. After adjusting for a while, Sun Yi found a channel that played cartoons.

"Xiaochen, look here first. This is the remote control. If you want to change the channel, just press this."

Sun Yi gave Zhou Chen a brief instruction, then hurried to the kitchen to start cooking.

Zhou Chen took the remote control and immediately started changing channels. He soon tuned to a local TV station that was broadcasting the news and started watching it carefully.

The welfare home is too blocked for information, and there is basically no news inside. Now that he can watch TV, he naturally wants to know more about the local situation.

Zhou Guofu cleaned up the room and came out. He was surprised to see Zhou Chen watching the news seriously.

"Xiaochen, can you understand these?"

Zhou Chen asked casually: "Is it difficult?"

But then he realized that he was no longer an adult, but a six-year-old child, so he said, "Just take a look."

Zhou Guofu did not hesitate but sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"Do you want me to tune in to the cartoon for you?"

"No, I'll just take a look."

More than half an hour later, Sun Yi brought up the prepared meals.

"Xiaochen, it's time to eat and try Auntie's cooking."

At the dinner table, the Zhou couple did not eat. Instead, they put a lot of food in Zhou Chen's bowl and looked at Zhou Chen nervously.

Zhou Chen took two bites, then met their gazes and said, "It's really delicious, Auntie. The food you cook is much better than the one in the welfare home."

Sun Yi immediately smiled and said happily: "If it tastes good, eat more. Come, Auntie will pick some food for you."

After dinner, it was soon night. Sun Yi took the initiative to help Zhou Chen wash up, then put him to bed and told him stories to coax him to sleep.

While doing these things, Zhou Chen did not refuse. He just did whatever Sun Yi arranged.

Although this was awkward, he couldn't bear to stop her when he saw how happy Sun Yi was.

After Zhou Chen fell asleep, Sun Yi tiptoed out of the room, closed the door, and returned to the master bedroom.

Zhou Guofu, who was reading a book, saw his wife come in, put down the book and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Ah."

Sun Yi nodded, got into bed, and leaned against Zhou Guofu.

"Dean Xie is right. This child is very sensible and obedient. I originally thought that after adopting a child, I would need to spend a lot of energy to slowly train him and correct some of his bad habits. But from what I've seen today, this child is really mature and easy to take care of."

Zhou Guofu smiled and said, "As I said, this child is more mature than ordinary children, mainly because he is smart, has superior intelligence, and is a genius."

"Yeah, he's really smart, but he doesn't get close to us."

Speaking of this, Sun Yi couldn't help but frowned.

Zhou Guofu said, "This is a normal reaction. We have only known him for one day. If he could get close to us so quickly, it would be too abnormal. The children in the welfare home before tried hard to get close to us, but in fact, they were more trying to please us and wanted to leave us. Xiaochen's reaction is a normal child's."

"What we want is a son who can live with us forever and is a real relative, not a son who only tries to please us but is fragile and sensitive inside."

"Right."

Sun Yi thought about it and it made sense.

"He is willing to change his name, which should be a sign that he is willing to get close to us. Maybe he doesn't know how to get close to us now."

Zhou Guofu nodded and said, "Yes, don't forget what Dean Xie told us. He was once adopted and then abandoned. He must have been hurt psychologically and is very scared, but he just doesn't show it. So we can't push him too much. We have to take it slow."

"Ah."

Sun Yi agreed with her husband. She was an orphan and was abandoned once and then abandoned again. If there was no problem with her, then there would be a problem.

"Oh, Xiaochen is old enough to go to primary school, but if he wants to go to school, he needs a household registration. We must get his household registration done as soon as possible."

Zhou Guofu: "That's no problem. I happen to have a classmate who works at the Public Security Bureau. I'll give him a heads up and he should be able to help us get it done quickly. But, do we really have to use the name Zhou Chen?"

"Of course, this child chose his own name. If we don't agree, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. Besides, he has our last name anyway, so it doesn't really matter what he is called. What's important is that he wants to integrate into our family."

Sun Yi didn't have any requirements for the name. In her opinion, it was already the best result for Zhou Chen to change his surname and name. Why should they choose another one?

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."

"Once his household registration is done, he can go to school. Dean Xie said that he is a bit withdrawn. After going to school, he will be in contact with more children and should change."

"But now that the semester has been over for more than two months, should we arrange for him to join the class?"

"I don't think there's any problem. As you can see, his intelligence is far superior to other children of the same age. Even if he is transferred to a new class, he should be able to adapt quickly. Besides, you and I are at home. We can help him when the time comes. There will be no problem at all."

"Then it's settled."

"Let's go get our household registration done tomorrow, and then go to the mall to buy some things for Xiaochen. I see his clothes are all old, and they should have a new feel when they're in our house. Let's buy him all new clothes."

"No problem. I think I have enough money on me. If not, I can always go get more."

"........."

Zhou Chen slept very soundly that night. It could be said that it was the most comfortable sleep he had had since he traveled through time.

Before, he always shared a room with other children, but now he finally has his own room.

The next morning, after Zhou Chen had breakfast, he went out with the Zhou couple.

Naturally, he didn't have enough time to greet his neighbors along the way. When these neighbors saw Zhou Chen, they were all very surprised.

Because the Zhou couple are relatively famous in this area. After all, a university professor and a high school teacher have good reputations and conditions, and are relatively respected.

It’s just that all the neighbors knew that the couple had no children, so when a child suddenly appeared, they must have been curious and surprised.

Zhou Chen was naturally different from ordinary children. Even facing all kinds of strange looks, it did not affect him. He walked calmly along the way with the Zhou couple and greeted them when he should.

"Xiaochen, let's take you to register your household registration first. You need a new household registration. Are you sure your name is Zhou Chen?"

On the way, Sun Yi talked about the household registration issue, and then asked Zhou Chen for confirmation.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

So the three of them went to the police station. Since they had acquaintances there, they were able to quickly register their application at the Household Registration Department.

Because Zhou Chen was an adopted child, it was not easy to include him in the Zhou family's household registration. Even if Zhou Guofu found someone, it would still take some time for the review.

After registering various forms, the Zhou couple took Zhou Chen to a large shopping mall in the city and started shopping.

Chapter 402: Tears, a cry of "Mom", the top scorer in the college entrance examination

Ten days passed in a flash.

The first day of December is just an ordinary day for others, but for the three people in the Zhou family, it is destined to be an unusual day.

Zhou Chen’s household registration was finally reviewed and approved and added to the Zhou family’s household registration book.

To celebrate this event, Sun Yi prepared a table full of dishes, and even Zhou Guofu cooked a pot of soup himself.

Sun Yi placed the household registration booklet in front of Zhou Chen and said happily: "Xiaochen, look at this. From today on, your household registration is at home. From now on, we are real relatives. You are our son, and we are your parents."

Zhou Chen looked at the household registration book, which was not much different from later generations. Each person's household registration page was a single piece of paper.

The name on the household registration book is Zhou Chen, six years old. The birthday is given by Zhou Chen himself, which is his birthday in the real world. His relationship with the head of the household is that he is a son.

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen didn’t know what to say, so he could only say thank you.
