"Go take a shower."
"Then wait for me. I'll be here soon after I take a shower."
"Go quickly."
After pushing Zhou Chen into the bathroom, Qiao Sanli was still sitting on the sofa with a red face. Although they were already engaged, loved each other, and had become much closer, they still hadn't taken the last step.
Even if I knew this day would come, I would still feel shy when it was about to happen.
In the end, Qiao Sanli could not escape Zhou Chen's clutches. Under the guidance of this old driver, she reluctantly obeyed Zhou Chen.
A few hours later.
Qiao Sanli leaned close to Zhou Chen, her face slightly flushed. She still hadn't recovered from what had just happened.
"Zhou Chen, when are we getting married?"
Zhou Chen hugged Qiao Sanli and said softly, "We'll get married when you graduate."
“That’ll take another year.”
Qiao Sanli still has one year before graduation. "What if I want to continue my studies as a graduate student?"
"Then continue studying. Postgraduate study won't interfere with your marriage."
"I'm lying to you. I don't want to study for a master's degree. It was not easy for me to get into university. I don't want to study for a master's degree anymore. I want to go out and work."
Zhou Chen asked: "What kind of job do you want to do, be a teacher, or something else? Or you can go to work at Chenxing. My parents are old and lack energy, so you can take over their job."
"what?"
Qiao Sanli was shocked when she heard this and sat up: "You asked me to work at Chenxing, but this is not what I studied at all. I can't do it. I can't do it."
Zhou Chen comforted her, "You can learn if you don't know how to do it. My parents didn't know how to do it before, but now they are doing great. You can learn from them. If you encounter something you don't know how to do, I will teach you. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to do it."
Qiao Sanli still shook her head: "No, that's your parents' factory. I'm an outsider. How can I take over? You should go first."
Zhou Chen hit Qiao Sanli on the head and said, "What do you mean by outsider? You will soon be my wife, their daughter-in-law, so how can you be an outsider? As for me, I will not manage them. I have already decided that I will return to the Medical University to teach and become a university teacher."
"You want to stay in school as a teacher?"
Qiao Sanli was surprised. She knew her fiancé's influence and knew he could become an official without any problem. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to be willing to stay in school and be a teacher.
"Yes, I can be a teacher in the school, and I can also be a doctor in the school's affiliated hospital. So I don't want to be involved in business matters. Our family business will naturally be handed over to you, my daughter-in-law."
"But I..." Qiao Sanli was still hesitant and unconfident.
Zhou Chen: "Okay, don't think too much. Anyway, you still have a year before graduation. You can use this time to think about it carefully. There is no rush."
The topic quickly passed, and Qiao Sanli then told Zhou Chen about what had happened at home in the past two years.
"My sister-in-law is more than seven months pregnant."
"Oh, really? Then congratulations to you, brother."
Zhou Chen was also very happy to hear this. Qiao Yicheng in the TV series had no children in his life, but now he is about to have his own child, which is really a great joy.
However, Qiao Sanli's face didn't look very good, which made him a little confused.
"What's wrong? Your eldest brother is going to have a baby, and you are going to have a little nephew. Why do you look unhappy?"
Qiao Sanli: "This is indeed something to be happy about, but it is not fair to my eldest brother and our Qiao family."
"What do you mean?"
These words confused Zhou Chen. They were about to give birth to a child, so why were they talking about unfairness? What does giving birth to a child have to do with fairness?
"Because after the child is born, his surname will not be Qiao, but Wen."
"what?"
Zhou Chen cried out in surprise. Even a shrewd man like him found it unbelievable to hear this, but he soon figured out the reason.
"Is it that Wen Ju'an's mother is causing trouble for your eldest brother?"
"Well, after you went abroad, my eldest sister-in-law's mother came to our house and had many quarrels with my eldest brother and sister-in-law. She even went to my eldest brother's workplace and almost caused my eldest brother to lose his job. In the end, it was your father who found someone to help my eldest brother keep his job."
"Later, my eldest brother and his friends talked to her for a long time. In the end, I don't know what my eldest brother was thinking, but in order to calm things down, he actually agreed to let their child take their mother's surname, Wen."
"After my dad found out about this, he was furious and even fought with my eldest brother. But you know my eldest brother, he refused to compromise. Even our persuasion was useless. This matter was settled. After the child is born, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, he can only have the surname Wen."
Zhou Chen listened and said with emotion: "This is really something your eldest brother can do, but I understand him a little bit. When he was at his lowest point, it was Wen Ju'an who saved him and married him without regrets, regardless of the eyes of the world. He felt sorry for Wen Ju'an, so in order not to embarrass Wen Ju'an, he compromised on this matter."
Qiao Sanli said, "I've thought about this, too. But no matter what, this isn't a good thing for my brother. The child can't have his last name. It's a shame in the eyes of others. Maybe he'll be called a live-in son-in-law, which is too ugly."
This era was not as open as it would be twenty years later. In this era, it was natural for children to take their father's surname. Generally, children took their mother's surname because the father was a son-in-law and had no status.
Wen Ju'an is a good person, but the people of the Qiao family naturally support their eldest brother.
"Your eldest brother doesn't care anymore, why do you think so much? Maybe for your eldest brother, it doesn't matter whose surname the child takes. What's important is to live a good life and not make everyone else uneasy."
Qiao Sanli said: "But I can see that my eldest brother is still very depressed. When you come back, if you have time, call my eldest brother and comfort him."
"No problem, I'll go drink with him in a couple of days and comfort him."
After talking about Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Sanli started talking about her second brothers Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei.
Qiao Erqiang got married last year to a girl named Sun Xiaomo, but judging from Qiao Sanli's tone, their relationship after marriage didn't seem to be particularly loving.
This surprised Zhou Chen a little. He originally thought that if Qiao Yicheng had not married Ye Xiaolang, Qiao Erqiang would not have met Sun Xiaomo.
But unexpectedly, Qiao Erqiang actually met Sun Xiaomo, and the two of them got married. Thinking of what happened to Sun Xiaomo in the TV series, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Erqiang is the most honest one among the Qiao brothers and sisters. It's a pity that he has a bad fate. He fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved. He has a bad relationship with his wife after marriage, which must be because of his master.
The future of Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli has changed. As for the remaining Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei, Zhou Chen has no intention of going to great lengths to help them.
Helping Qiao Yicheng was already tiring enough, he didn't want to care about them anymore, especially Qiao Simei, he didn't even want to see her.
"Si Mei has also changed. She has admitted her mistakes to me and said that she was blinded by lard back then. She is too embarrassed to face you and asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart with disdain. He had already seen through what kind of person Qiao Simei was. Even if this woman admitted her mistake, it was only superficial. In fact, she must still be very dissatisfied with him in her heart.
"Okay, what happened is over, and I won't be involved in her affairs anymore."
Qiao Sanli could see what her fiancé thought of her sister, but she didn't say anything more. She felt sorry for her sister, but she also knew that Zhou Chen was not wrong in this matter. Instead, it was Qiao Simei who was heartbroken.
"Si Mei has walked out of the shadows and started a new relationship. She has a new boyfriend. Although I have never met him, I heard that he is very handsome. He is a soldier and his junior high school classmate."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen couldn't control himself and choked on his saliva.
"You said Qiao Simei is in love again, and he's a soldier, and he's her classmate? What's her boyfriend's name?"
"I heard her say her name was Qi Chenggang."
"Oh my god..."
Zhou Chen really has no energy to complain. Is this God's will, or is the plot's healing power too strong?
Qiao Simei unexpectedly met Qi Chenggang again and they started dating.
"What's wrong? Do you know this Qi Chenggang?"
Seeing Zhou Chen's strange reaction, Qiao Sanli asked in confusion.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know any Qi Chenggang. I just wonder if Qiao Simei will make the same mistake again."
Qiao Sanli asked: "Are you worried that this Qi Chenggang will be the same as the previous Shaoyang?"
"I just said it casually. Okay, Qiao Simei can make her own decision. Don't talk about her anymore."
Zhou Chen didn't want to discuss this topic any further, so he asked other people.
"Where's Qi Weimin? How is he now?"
"After my cousin graduated, he went to work in the countryside. Now Sister Xingyu is helping him take care of the family. Although they haven't had a wedding yet, they have already obtained a marriage certificate."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen said with emotion: "This is a good thing. Qi Weimin is lucky to have met Chang Xingyu and be devoted to him."
Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu are the couple with the best relationship and the most successful relationship among the children of the Qiao family. Zhou Chen is not surprised at all that they are together.
I fell asleep and forgot to post it, sorry!

Chapter 517 Dinner, Qiao Yicheng's Gratitude
Two years passed, and Qiao Zuwang's fundraising issue was over. He finally dared to move back to his old house in Shamao Lane. Now, Qiao Zuwang and Qiao Simei live in the old house.
Although Qiao Zuwang has no job now, he lives a very comfortable life.
Of his four children, except Qiao Sanli who is still unemployed, the other three give him money regularly every month.
The honest Qiao Erqiang always buys things for the family. If there is any problem at home, such as water or electricity problems, Qiao Erqiang will come back to take care of it.
In the next few days, Zhou Chen accompanied his parents and fiancée, and took Qiao Sanli on trips.
a few days later.
In a small Western-style building in Jinling City, Qiao Yicheng carefully helped his wife Wen Ju'an out of the room.
Wen Ju'an has been pregnant for more than seven months and has a big belly. Because her physical condition is not good, she has suffered a lot during pregnancy. Fortunately, her mother takes care of her. If it were only Qiao Yicheng, he would definitely be too busy to handle it.
This small Western-style building was obviously not something Qiao Yicheng could afford; it belonged to Wen Ju'an's mother.
After reaching an agreement with Qiao Yicheng, Wen Ju'an's mother Wen Xue used her connections to transfer her job to Jinling.
After Wen Ju'an became pregnant, she was worried that Qiao Yicheng would not be able to take care of her daughter because of work, and she also felt sorry for her daughter living in that small one-bedroom apartment, so she asked the couple to move in with her so that it would be more convenient for her to take care of her.
Wen Xue is a very powerful and realistic woman. She really looks down on Qiao Yicheng, but her daughter insists on being with Qiao Yicheng, and she doesn't want to lose her only daughter, so she has to compromise.
But she is also a powerful person. She even asked for the naming rights of Qiao Yicheng and his daughter's child. In her opinion, since the child has her surname, he will be her grandson.
Thinking of this way, she felt a lot more relieved.
She has only one daughter, and she used to worry that if her daughter got married, she would be alone and helpless. But now the situation is not bad, and this Qiao Yicheng is quite easy to control.
Wen Xue looked down on Qiao Yicheng, but she didn't say anything bad to him. She just had a cold attitude. However, she didn't let Qiao Yicheng do the housework at home, and she cooked the meals herself.
Therefore, Qiao Yichen was under more mental pressure, but his life was better than before.
He works to earn money during the day and returns home at night to find his wife and family waiting for him. This is the life he has always longed for, so he doesn't care too much about his mother-in-law's contempt.
Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an came to the table, where the food had already been served.
"Ju'an, you don't have a good appetite right now, so eat less rice and drink more soup. This soup is light and not greasy."
Wen Xue placed the soup in front of her daughter. As for Qiao Yicheng, she did not ask anything.
Qiao Yicheng had long been accustomed to his mother-in-law's attitude. He didn't care and just ate by himself.
Halfway through the meal, Qiao Yicheng said to Wen Ju'an, "Ju'an, Zhou Chen has been back from the United States for a few days. He invited us to have dinner together tomorrow night. Qi Weimin will also be back by then."
Wen Xue frowned and said, "Ju'an is not able to move around easily now, so he should not go out."
Wen Ju'an: "It's okay, Mom. I can't stay at home all day. Going out and walking around will also help with childbirth."
Seeing that his mother was still frowning, Wen Ju'an continued, "Mom, the Zhou Chen that Yicheng was talking about is the one who won the Nobel Prize some time ago. He and Yicheng's sister are already engaged, and they will get married soon."
Wen Xue was surprised when she heard this: "Is he really the person who won the Nobel Prize?"
She comes from an intellectual family and attaches great importance to diplomas and knowledge. Some time ago, the fact that a Chinese won the Nobel Prize caused a sensation across the country. She naturally felt honored for the country and praised the winners many times.
But she didn't expect that the person who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine was actually related to her cheap son-in-law.
"Yes, Mom, that's him. So if we have more contact with him, it will also be good for Yicheng's work."
Wen Ju'an is no longer the innocent girl she used to be. As she is about to become a mother, she has begun to learn the ways of the world without any instruction.
Thinking that it would be beneficial for her daughter and son-in-law to have contact with such people, she nodded and said, "Okay, but you still have to be careful."
Qiao Yicheng said quickly, "Mom, don't worry. Zhou Chen has a car at home. I'll ask him to drive over to pick us up and take us back after dinner."
Wen Xue looked at Qiao Yicheng and said, "Yicheng, you should also learn to drive and buy a car. It will be much more convenient to have a car when you have a child in the future."
Qiao Yicheng laughed dryly. It was nothing to learn how to drive, but buying a car was too difficult for him.
He works at a TV station and his salary is not low, but after getting married, his expenses have increased and he has to give a portion to his elderly father. Even if he lives frugally and can save some money, it will take him a long time to save enough money to buy a car.
Wen Xue saw Qiao Yicheng's embarrassment at a glance.
"If the money is not enough, I can support you a little."
She only has one daughter, so there is no point in keeping the money. What's more, she asked Qiao Yicheng to buy a car more for the sake of her daughter and grandson. Qiao Yicheng is just a byproduct.
Qiao Yicheng felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything and just thanked him.
