The world of film and television begins from childhood

"If my son is capable, it's also our credit."

Han Huifang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yes, everything you said is right. Jianguo, do you think we can really acquire the textile factory? Xiaochen has been busy for so long. If he fails in the end, will it be a blow to him?"

"Yes, that shouldn't be the case, right?" Zhou Jianguo himself was a little unsure.

Han Huifang was still a little worried: "I hope so."

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice.

"Excuse me, is this Zhou Chen's home? Is anyone here?"

Han Huifang put down the bowl and said in surprise: "It's someone looking for Xiaochen, and it's a woman. I'll go open the door."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the door. Zhou Jianguo also put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up curiously, walked to the door of the main room, and looked towards the gate.

Han Huifang opened the door and immediately saw a girl dressed fashionably. Her appearance and temperament made her stunned for a moment.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Although she seemed to have heard the other party say her son's name just now, she still asked unsurely.

The person who came was naturally Xiang Nanfang. She smiled and asked politely, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Xiang Nanfang. I am Zhou Chen's classmate. I came here specifically to see him."

Han Huifang smiled instantly: "I'm here to see Xiaochen. Hello, hello, I'm Xiaochen's mother, please come in."

Chapter 491: Anxious Simei, Calm Sanli

"You are my aunt. I heard Zhou Chen often talk about you and praised you for your beauty. It seems that what Zhou Chen said is true. You are more beautiful than I imagined."

When Xiang Nanfang heard that Han Huifang was Zhou Chen's mother, he immediately started to flatter her, speaking fluently and sincerely.

Han Huifang was so overwhelmed by the compliments that she almost lost her mind: "Really? Xiaochen has told you about me?"

Xiang Nanfang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard him talk about you when I was in school before."

"This child, I am too old to be seen, and I can only talk nonsense. Come in quickly, girl."

Han Huifang smiled even more happily, and she led Xiang Nanfang into the yard.

"Auntie, you can just call me Nan Fang. That's what my family calls me."

"Well, Nanfang, what a good boy."

Xiang Nanfang followed Han Huifang into the yard, and then saw Zhou Jianguo standing at the door of the main room, looking around frequently.

Han Huifang pointed at Zhou Jianguo and introduced him, "Nanfang, this is Xiaochen's father."

Xiang Nanfang called out politely, "Hello, uncle."

Zhou Jianguo also had a kind face: "Hello, hello."

He was surprised by Xiang Nanfang's fashion and beauty. Such a beautiful girl actually came to his house to look for his son. There must be something fishy about this.

At the same time, he couldn't help but make a comparison in his mind. Although the third girl of the Qiao family was not ugly, there was a big gap between her and the fashionable and stylish girl in front of him.

Han Huifang said to Zhou Jianguo, "Go and wake up Xiaochen quickly. All the classmates are here, but he is still sleeping."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Jianguo hurried into the inner room to call Zhou Chen.

Han Huifang explained to Xiang Nanfang again: "Xiaochen usually wakes up at five or six in the morning to exercise, and he doesn't get up today because he didn't know what he was busy with until four or five in the morning." I don't go to sleep until :."

"is it?"

Xiang Nanfang was also very surprised. He was surprised that Zhou Chen could get up early to exercise, and he was also surprised that Zhou Chen did not sleep much last night.

"Yes, this kid has always been a worry-free kid. He does everything by himself. We don't know what he is busy with."

Han Huifang muttered a few words, then asked, "Nanfang, have you had breakfast? If you don't mind, Auntie will serve you some."

Xiang Nanfang waved his hand quickly: "No, Auntie, I came here after breakfast, so it's really not necessary, thank you."

"Then sit down quickly."

After the two sat down, Han Huifang started asking questions again.

"Nan Fang, are you Xiao Chen's college classmate? Why haven't I seen you before? There were a few male classmates who came to play with Xiao Chen before, but you are really the first female classmate."

When Xiang Nanfang heard that she was the first female classmate to come to see Zhou Chen, she laughed in her heart. It seemed that what Zhou Chen said was true. He really was not in a relationship.

"Zhou Chen and I were classmates in the first grade of junior high school. Although we were classmates for only one year, we have kept in touch over the years. I was able to get into my ideal university last year thanks to Zhou Chen's help."

"Oh, it's my junior high school classmate."

Han Huifang was quite surprised, because she knew that her son was promoted to the third grade after finishing the first grade of junior high school. As a result, the two are still able to keep in touch, which shows that their relationship must be unusual.

"I can't say anything else about our Xiaochen, but he is definitely very smart in terms of studying. Girl, where did you go to college?"

"I went to Minda in the capital."

"Min University, I know. It's a university that specializes in training cadres, right? His father and I saw it when we were researching universities before."

“Not entirely, but Minzu University has indeed produced many state officials.”

Han Huifang chatted with Xiang Nanfang enthusiastically. The more they talked, the more she liked her. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She thought this girl was really nice.

She is beautiful, has a good temperament, speaks very politely and courteously, and always smiles. You can tell at first glance that she is a well-educated girl from a good family.

She also realized that this little girl named Xiang Nanfang must have some feelings for her son. When she heard her talk about her son, she became very interested.

Zhou Chen was shaken awake from his daze. He squinted his eyes and saw his father standing at the head of his bed.

"Dad, what's wrong? What time is it?"

He was busy until after five o'clock last night. Due to overwork and lack of sleep, his mind was still a little fuzzy.

"It's past nine o'clock. Your classmates are here to see you. Hurry up and get up and wash up." Zhou Jianguo said.

Zhou Chen rubbed his eyes. Although his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, his spirit would naturally not be good if he did not sleep for a long time.

"My classmate? Who is it?"

"A very pretty little girl named Xiang Nanfang."

Hearing the name Xiang Nanfang, Zhou Chen was shocked, "Why is she here?"

Zhou Jianguo said: "How would I know? Hurry up and don't keep the girl waiting for too long."

"I see."

Zhou Chen nodded, then got out of bed. Suddenly, he felt a chill and quickly put on his clothes.

When Zhou Chen walked out of his room, he saw Xiang Nanfang at a glance. She was sitting and chatting with her mother Han Huifang. Zhou Jianguo was sitting beside them, eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

"Nan Fang, why are you here so early in the morning?"

When Xiang Nanfang saw Zhou Chen, his smile became even brighter. He stood up and said, "There's news about the thing you asked me to do yesterday. I'm fine anyway, so I came here to tell you."

Having said that, Zhou Chen suddenly slapped his head.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you yesterday that we have a telephone installed at home. I'll tell you the phone number later."

It is only the 80s. Telephones are not a scarce commodity, but not every household has one. At least in the entire Shamao Lane, no more than one-third of the households have a telephone.

Their house had a telephone installed last year, but since he had hardly ever used it, he hadn't thought of this.

Han Huifang stood up suddenly, and said to Zhou Chen, "Xiaochen, I'll copy the phone number to Nanfang later, so hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth."

Zhou Chen wiped the eye mucus from the corner of his eye and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Nan Fang, you sit here for a while, I'll go wash up."

Xiang Nanfang smiled and replied, "Go ahead, I'll chat with my aunt and uncle."

Han Huifang urged, "Go quickly, don't keep Nan Fang waiting for too long."

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly and walked towards the bathroom. The conditions at home were average, but because Zhou Chen was used to cleanliness, their bathroom was renovated later. It was not high-end and classy, ​​but it was definitely unique in Shamao Lane.

Listening to his mother and Xiang Nanfang chatting and laughing, Zhou Chen smiled to himself. Of course he knew what his mother was thinking. He still had a few years to go before graduation, and yet she was already worrying.

Although Han Huifang was very concerned about what was going on between Zhou Chen and Xiang Nanfang, she suppressed her curiosity and did not ask. She just chatted casually with Xiang Nanfang.

After a few minutes, Zhou Chen finished washing up and returned to the main room.

"Dad, Mom, Nan Fang wants to talk to me about something. Let's go out for a walk first."

Xiang Nanfang stood up upon hearing this and was about to leave with Zhou Chen. At this time, Han Huifang said anxiously, "Xiaochen, you haven't had breakfast yet. Do you want to eat something before going out?"

Zhou Chen said: "No need, Mom, Dad, we'll go out first."

Xiang Nanfang also said politely: "Auntie, uncle, I will visit you next time."

Han Huifang enthusiastically took Xiang Nanfang's hand and said, "Nanfang, why don't you have lunch at home and try your aunt's cooking. I also want to talk to you again."

Xiang Nanfang said with some embarrassment: "Auntie, my mother came back from another place today. We haven't seen each other for half a year, so at noon, I really... I'm sorry, Auntie, how about I come back next time to try your cooking skills?"

Seeing Xiang Nanfang in trouble, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say, "Mom, that's enough. We haven't finished breakfast yet, so let's talk about lunch. I won't talk to you anymore. We'll leave first."

Having said that, he took Xiang Nanfang and left home.

"This boy really forgets his mother once he has a woman."

Han Huifang watched them leave and muttered a few words unhappily.

Zhou Jianguo lit a cigarette and laughed, "You too, this little girl is here to see her son for the first time, how can she stay at home for dinner?"

Han Huifang glared at him and said, "What do you know? I can tell at first glance that this girl is interested in our son, otherwise she wouldn't have come here so early in the morning. Most importantly, this girl is likable, pretty, polite, and good at talking. She is also a college student from a prestigious university. She is a perfect match for our son."

Zhou Jianguo held his chin, nodded, and said, "Indeed, this little girl is really good, but you shouldn't match her up with anyone. Our son treats the third daughter of the Qiao family very well. I think he may like her more."

"this?"

Han Huifang was speechless. Of course, she also knew that Zhou Chen had a good relationship with Qiao Sanli. She looked down on Qiao Zuwang of the Qiao family, but she still liked Qiao Sanli very much.

The girl has a good personality and looks good. If there wasn't Xiang Nanfang for comparison, she would be quite satisfied with her.

But after meeting Xiang Nanfang just now, she felt that this girl was more to her liking and a better match for her son.

"Oh, it would be nice if I could marry both of them."

Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but shake his head. It felt so strange to hear these words coming from his wife's mouth.

"Do you think this little girl is the one Xiaochen mentioned to us before, the one whose father is a senior leader in the province?"

After being reminded by her husband, Han Huifang suddenly came to her senses: "Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of that? I'm afraid it's true. Look at her good temperament and fashionable clothes. She must be the daughter of a leader."

Zhou Chen naturally couldn't hear his parents' discussions. At this moment, he was walking out of Shamao Lane with Xiang Nanfang.

It was already the coldest time of the year and the wind was howling on the city wall. Naturally, he would not take Xiang Nanfang up there to get some fresh air.

"Nan Fang, you came to see me so early in the morning, there must be good news."

Xiang Nanfang walked briskly: "Why, if there is no good news, can't I come to you?"

"Of course not, I just think that based on your personality, I guess this is the case."

"You're smart. What you said is right. It's good news. I showed my dad your acquisition plan and told him about your situation. He's very interested, so I invite you to come to our house tomorrow night and have dinner together."

Xiang Nanfang looked at Zhou Chen with a smile: "You won't refuse, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course not. Tomorrow night? Then should I bring some gifts? I'll bring something your parents like."

Xiang Nanfang said: "I think you'd better not do that. My dad hates other people giving him gifts. If you think it's not nice, just bring some fruit when the time comes."

"Then I'll listen to you."

The reason why Zhou Chen asked that was because he knew the nature of Xiang's father's work. Now that Xiang Nanfang said so, he didn't have to worry about it.

Xiang Nanfang remembered something and told Zhou Chen, "By the way, Zhou Chen, when you go to our house tomorrow, you have to pay attention to one person."

"Who?"

"My eldest brother has a bad temper and sometimes he can be unreasonable. I'm afraid he'll embarrass you, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Your eldest brother? Okay, I remember."

Zhou Chen nodded. Among the children of the Qiao family, Xiang Nanfang’s eldest brother Xiang Beifang had appeared several times. Every time he treated Qiao Yicheng with a cold shoulder, he looked arrogant and unpleasant.

When Zhou Chen was taking Xiang Nanfang for a walk, a man happened to pass by and accidentally saw the two of them.

Qiao Simei had just returned from begging at her second aunt's store. She was walking happily when she suddenly saw a familiar person and stopped immediately.

"Is that Brother Zhou Chen? Who is the woman next to him?"

Qiao Simei had known Zhou Chen for several years and was able to recognize him at a glance. However, what surprised her was that Zhou Chen was with a woman this time, and this woman was not her sister. This instantly made her alert.

She followed the two quietly for a distance, and her expression became more and more serious.
