Han Chunyan, on the other hand, was busy all day and had to take care of the children, so she went to bed early at night.
Zhou Chen was not sleepy, so he went to the east wing to study the antiques he had collected.
More than two years passed, and he never stopped collecting antiques. During this period, he collected two antiques that met the system requirements, both from the Song Dynasty.
One of them is a weapon. According to the system's identification, it is actually the sword of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei's name is absolutely well-known in China. Zhou Chen is not quite sure what weapon Yue Fei used, but it is normal for a general to wear a sword.
When Zhou Chen first got this sword, it had some minor problems. Later, he asked someone to repair it. Now it has been restored to its original state and is a sharp sword. However, compared with those legendary magical weapons that can cut through iron like mud, it is naturally far inferior.
He guessed that the reason why this sword was recognized by the system was probably largely because of its owner, Yue Fei.
This also made him understand that the value standard of the system is not necessarily based on money, but also attaches equal importance to the meaning and story of antiques.
In addition to antiques approved by the system, Zhou Chen also collected dozens of other antiques in this east wing. None of them met the system standards, but they were indeed authentic antiques, so they were placed together in an orderly manner.
In order to get antiques, he had taken Han Chunyan to buy them several times before, hoping to take advantage of her luck and find more treasures.
Unfortunately, the final result made him realize that he was just daydreaming.
Picking up a bargain is just picking up a bargain after all, it is impossible to be so lucky every time.
After staying in the east wing for a while, Zhou Chen tiptoed back to the room. Seeing that his wife and son were sleeping soundly, he took off his clothes and lay down next to Han Chunyan.
The noise of him falling asleep caused Han Chunyan's reaction. She opened her eyes drowsily, and after seeing that it was Zhou Chen, she closed her eyes tiredly again.
The child woke up twice during the night and made a fuss for a while. Han Chunyan didn't let Zhou Chen get up, but coaxed the child back to normal herself.
Han Chunyan resigned from the factory when she was three months pregnant and has been staying at home ever since.
At the beginning, she was not very adaptable, but when Zhou Chen gave her 500 yuan a month, she felt completely settled and no longer thought about going to work.
Women in China at this time were not like many women in later generations who thought that career was more important than family.
Nowadays, the vast majority of women focus on their families. If the money earned by a man can support the family, most women will stay at home as housewives, raising children, taking care of the elderly, etc.
Although Han Chunyan has no elderly people to take care of, her children are still young and she can handle the work alone at home. As long as Zhou Chen comes home, she can free up a lot of time to rest.
At dinner, Han Chunyan said to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, I took the kids to stay with my mother for a day today. She told us to have dinner there the day after tomorrow."
"What's wrong? Something happened at home?"
"My mom didn't say anything. I guess it's probably because of Xiaowu's matter. This kid made my mom worried to death."
Of the five children in the Han family, after Han Chunyan and Zhou Chen got married and had children, four of them were considered happy, except for the one left, Han Chunming.
At the age of 33, he is still a bachelor. As an old mother, Han's mother is of course anxious to get her youngest son married.
It's a pity that Han Chunming and Su Meng started to fight, and neither of them was willing to give in, so they were in a stalemate. You don't want to fall in love, and I don't want to fall in love either, let's see who can outlast the other.
The two of them were evenly matched in their fight, which made the adults of both families very anxious.
For this matter, Han's mother mobilized the whole family to take part more than once, but every time Han Chunming just said nice things but never listened.
His two sisters often arranged for him to go on blind dates, but he always refused.
Zhou Chen said: "I think your anxiety is useless. In my opinion, he and Su Meng have wasted their lives together. They probably won't be able to get married before they are fifty years old."
"Nonsense."
Han Chunyan glared at Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction: "You are still in your fifties, don't talk nonsense, if my mother hears it, she will be furious. If you are really in your fifties, why get married? Just become a monk."
In her opinion, getting married for the first time in his fifties was impossible. Although her younger brother was a bit of a troublemaker, he was not to that extent.
Zhou Chen laughed. His wife had a good train of thought. It was quite interesting to think about Han Chunming becoming a monk.
An old man in his fifties and an old woman in her fifties is indeed an unprecedented story.
Han Chunyan muttered, "What's so good about Su Meng? I don't know what Xiao Wu is obsessed with her. There are many girls prettier than her."
Su Meng could indeed be considered the most beautiful girl in their alley, but no matter what, she was already in her early thirties and could not compare with the younger girls.
But Han Chunming just fell for her tricks, which made everyone in the Han family feel helpless.
"Then wait for me at home tomorrow. I'll drive you there when I get off work."
Although he hasn't bought a house yet, Zhou Chen already drives a car, a classic Crown 122, which he bought just a few months ago.
Han Chunyan said: "We are quite close to that place, there is no need to drive, it is quite troublesome."
"It's okay. If it's just the two of us, it's fine, but we have a child. The weather is not very good these days, so we should drive over just in case."
Zhou Chen knew that Han Chunyan was reluctant to part with her new car, but to him, a car was just a consumable item. He bought it to drive, so why would he just leave it there?
"Okay then. I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
Two days later in the afternoon, after Zhou Chen finished his last class, he did not stay in school. He just said goodbye to his colleagues and left.
"Teacher Zhou, it's time to get off work." "Yeah, I'm leaving first."
"Mr. Zhou, don't forget to teach me a class next week." "No problem."
"Teacher Zhou……"
After three years of teaching at the school, Zhou Chen's interpersonal relationships are still very good. From leaders to students, everyone has a good impression of him.
Zhou Chen was driving the Crown on the avenue. There were still very few vehicles in Yanjing now, and the road was smooth. It was only after entering the alley that it became more difficult to drive, mainly because the road was narrow and there were many people coming and going.
After arriving home, Zhou Chen found that Han Chunyan was already ready, so the two of them took their things, held the child, and went to Han's house.
He drove all the way to the gate of the Han family's compound and attracted a lot of attention, because this was the first time Zhou Chen drove here.
In this alley, no one owns a car so far, so when Zhou Chen's car drove in, it naturally attracted countless eyes.
As soon as Zhou Chen got out of the car, he heard a sour remark.
"Hey, isn't this Zhou Chen? When did you drive a car?"
Zhou Chen turned around and saw Cheng Jianjun standing next to the car with a look of envy on his face. His eyes kept scanning his Crown 122. It looked like he wanted to snatch it away.
Zhou Chen opened the car door, helped Han Chunyan get out, and then said, "I'm just a university teacher, how can I afford a car? This car belongs to my sister."
His sister Zhou Yi is the owner of Zhou City Small Commodity Store. This is something that everyone in the compound where the Han family lives knows.
Everyone in Yanjing City knew how popular Zhou's small commodity store had been in recent years, so no one thought there was anything wrong with Zhou Yi being able to afford a private car.
And Zhou Chen is Zhou Yi's only younger brother, so it is normal for Zhou Chen to drive the car.
So Cheng Jianjun was just envious and jealous, but he didn't doubt Zhou Chen in any way.
Cheng Jianjun said in a fake tone: "It's better to be a university teacher, especially you are a teacher at Peking University. Unlike me, I am just a deputy section chief in the inspection department, and I work hard all day long."
Zhou Chen could hear the boasting in his tone and felt disdain in his heart.
"You are too modest. Everyone knows that the Inspection Department is a powerful department with great power."
"There, there, there is no comparison with you."
"Sorry, Cheng Jianjun, let's take the kids in first and talk later."
Watching Zhou Chen's family of three walk into the yard, Cheng Jianjun couldn't help but glance at the Crown 122 parked at the door, his eyes full of passion.
"Who are you? You just have a good sister and a good uncle. Without them, who are you?"
In Cheng Jianjun's eyes, Zhou Chen is as hateful as Han Chunming. Even though Zhou Chen graduated from Peking University, he still looks down on him. He thinks Zhou Chen is so powerful only because of his uncle and sister. In terms of skill and ability, he doesn't think he is worse than Zhou Chen.
"Jianjun, what are you mumbling about here?"
A car bell rang, and Cai Xiaoli came back from get off work. She was surprised to see Cheng Jianjun staring at the car at the door.
"Hey, why is there a car at the gate of our yard?"
Cheng Jianjun snorted coldly, "Zhou Chen drove it here. This guy likes to show off. It's just a car, not his own. He drives it here just to show off."
Cai Xiaoli heard the dissatisfaction in Cheng Jianjun's tone and shook her head helplessly. She knew that Cheng Jianjun had always regarded Han Chunming and Zhou Chen as imaginary enemies. Now seeing Zhou Chen driving a private car, he was of course unhappy.
"Why do you care? As long as we work hard, we will be able to afford a car in no time."
Cheng Jianjun said: "That's right, I will definitely buy a better one than his when the time comes."
Cai Xiaoli said: "Zhou Chen and the others are back. It looks like the Han family will be busy again tonight."
"Humph, you just know how to show off. In our courtyard, the Han family has the most things to do."
Cheng Jianjun was very unhappy. There were several families in their yard, but the Han family had the most children, who would come back every now and then, so it was more lively than the other families.
"Come on, let's go home."
Cai Xiaoli took Cheng Jianjun away, fearing that Cheng Jianjun would say something unpleasant and make the relationship between them even more strained.
Before Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan entered the house with the child, Han's mother came out to greet them.
"Oh, my great grandson is back. Come, let grandma hug you."
Han's mother took the child from Han Chunyan's arms, her face full of love.
Although she had five children, the eldest left home early and was raised by the eldest daughter-in-law when she gave birth to a child. Not to mention the eldest daughter, who didn't need her at all. The situation of the second son was similar to that of the eldest son, with the woman making the decisions.
So far, Han's mother has never taken care of any grandson or granddaughter-in-law.
On the other hand, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan lived not far away, and Han Chunyan often brought her children back, so she spent more time with Zhou Xuanyu and loved her grandson very much.
Several people walked into the room, and Han Chunyan saw that there was no one in the room, so she asked, "Mom, are they here yet?"
"Nope."
"What about Xiaowu? Isn't he home either?"
"I can't control him now. I don't know where he ran off to. But I told him that he must come back for dinner. If he dares not come back, I will break his legs."
Speaking of Han Chunming, Han's mother was full of resentment. She drove out the eldest and second sons just for Han Chunming, but this bad boy didn't make her proud.
I've been busy moving these days.

Chapter 661: Han Family Dinner, Troubles
Because no one had arrived yet, Han's mother was not in a hurry to prepare food. Instead, she held the child and talked to Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan.
It was not until dark that the Han brothers and sisters arrived one by one.
The first to arrive were the Han eldest brother and his wife, followed by the Han second brother and the Han eldest sister. Han Chunming was the last to come back.
When everyone was present, they started cooking. After being busy for a while, the family finally sat down at the table to eat.
At the beginning, everyone was happy at the dinner table and smiled, but Han's mother soon turned her attention to Han Chunming.
"Xiaowu, your eldest sister said that there is a virgin girl in their family who is a few years younger than you. You should find time to meet her."
Han's mother started the conversation, and Han Chunxue, the eldest sister of the Han family, followed closely.
"Yes, Xiaowu, I've seen that girl. She's so pretty and a perfect match for you."
Han Chunming was quite helpless, he knew that whenever the family got together for a meal, they would inevitably talk about him finding a partner, and he had become accustomed to it over the years.
"Big sister, let's just forget about meeting each other. With me being like this, no one else would look down on me. Forget it, forget it."
Mother Han slammed the bowl on the table and angrily said, "What do you mean by count? Every time I tell you about this, you act like this. Are you planning to be single for the rest of your life?"
The second brother, Han Chunsheng, scolded him, "Xiaowu, Mom is right. Look at you. You have a problem with your attitude. You are already in your thirties and you are still not married. What do you want to do?"
Han Chunming muttered, "Second brother, don't blame me. Didn't you also get married when you were in your thirties?"
Han Chunsheng looked embarrassed for a moment. He did get married when he was in his early thirties. As his family was not well off and he himself was not very good at speaking, he had gone on many blind dates but were unsuccessful. It was not until a few years ago that he finally got married.
"Can you compare with me? Although I was not married before, I was always on blind dates. I had a good attitude and listened to my mother. But what about you? Besides making my mother angry, what else did you do? I think you deserve to be punished. You are not filial at all."
"Okay, okay."
Han's mother impatiently dissuaded Han Chunsheng. Although she also scolded her younger son, she had bright eyes and could see clearly who was filial and who was not.
The youngest son has no partner and is not getting married, but he is definitely the most filial among the five children. On the contrary, the second son is the least worrying of the five children and the one who goes home the least often.
Han Chunyan said to Han Chunming earnestly, "Xiaowu, we all know that you care about Su Meng, but that girl from the Su family is very proud. You have been in a stalemate with her for nearly ten years. If you continue like this, when will it end?"
Han Chunming said: "Second sister, I haven't spoken to her for three years. We have no relationship anymore. Stop making blind guesses."
The eldest brother Han Chunsong said, "Xiaowu, don't think about the girl from the Su family. She is now a state cadre in the Education Bureau. Her family has high standards. You don't need to waste time with her. She is not the only good girl in the world."
Han Chunming muttered softly, and from his expression it was clear that he did not take his mother and siblings' advice to heart.
Zhou Chen knew Han Chunming best and knew that no matter who said it, it would be impossible to persuade Han Chunming. This guy was a typical stubborn person.
The Han family felt helpless when they saw Han Chunming's dead pig-like look, they had seen this scene too many times in recent years and had no energy to persuade him anymore.
