After dinner, Zhou Chen took Chen Lin out on a motorcycle, took a ride around the area, and then sent Chen Lin back to the dormitory.

The next morning, someone came to Zhou Chen and asked about Chen Lin and when they would get married.

Zhou Chen just responded politely. In fact, if it wasn't for the system task, he really didn't want to live in the Siheyuan after marrying Chen Lin. He didn't want Chen Lin to have too much contact with the neighbors in the Siheyuan. There were too many problems in their courtyard.

After Chen Lin had worked for a while and got used to the new environment, she had more free time and spent more time with Zhou Chen. Their relationship continued to improve and they became closer.

That day, when the two were having dinner at the restaurant, Chen Lin said, "Zhou Chen, my dad said he wants to meet you. When are you free? Let's go to my house together."

Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks and said briskly: "Okay, I can take a leave anytime."

Although they have been together for many years, due to special circumstances, Zhou Chen has never met Chen Lin's parents. Now that the two of them are planning to get married, they naturally have to meet Chen Lin's parents.

Seeing Zhou Chen agreed without hesitation, Chen Lin immediately smiled happily.

"Great, then I'll tell my parents first, and after we set a date, we'll go back together."

"Well, I'll wait for your news."

Chapter 918: Ruining Shazhu's Good Deeds, Getting Married

A few days after Chen Lin and Zhou Chen discussed going home to see their parents, Chen Lin told Zhou Chen to ask for leave in advance.

The day before leaving, Zhou Chen pushed the motorcycle into the house and went to his third uncle's house again, asking him to help look after his house as he would be away for a few days.

This was not the first time Zhou Chen went out. When he went to see Chen Lin before, he was also out for several days.

Zhou Chen and his friends went there by train. Chen Lin's father was a senior official in another province and was usually very busy. But after Zhou Chen arrived, he deliberately put off a lot of work and the whole family entertained Zhou Chen very warmly.

Chen Lin's parents are both alive, and Chen Lin has an older brother, so there are exactly four people in the family.

Although the Chen family had never met Zhou Chen, they still had a good impression of him.

When their family suffered a disaster, most people, including relatives, stayed away from them. But an outsider like Zhou Chen did not give up on Chen Lin because of the disaster, but has persisted until now.

I will not flatter you when you are in glory, and I will not leave you when you are in despair.

Because of this, after the Chen family recovered, they were still very satisfied with Zhou Chen and hoped that Chen Lin could marry Zhou Chen.

Since both sides had a friendly attitude, things were naturally easy to discuss and they got along very harmoniously. Zhou Chen stayed at Chen's house for several days.

That day, when Chen's father came back, he brought shocking news.

"A huge earthquake occurred in Tang City..."

Everyone's faces showed horror, because they were not too far from Tang City, but they didn't feel anything at all.

Zhou Chen, on the other hand, looked calmer. As he was well-versed in history, he knew that this day would come. However, he was just a small figure now and could not change the trend at all.

If he rashly told it to others, that would be really stupid. He would be in even more trouble and might not even be able to complete the mission.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This is true, but Zhou Chen never thought that his abilities were that great or strong. Now he is only slightly better than ordinary people, and there are some things that he simply cannot change.

He felt silent condolences for those affected by the disaster.

Because Zhou Chen's parents were no longer around, after discussion, they decided to complete the engagement with Chen Lin at Chen's house. After Zhou Chen arranged a meal, the two of them would complete the engagement and the wedding date would be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

After returning to the capital, Zhou Chen immediately brought Chen Lin to the courtyard.

Although they were also affected by aftershocks, it was much better than he expected. A lot of things were overturned in the house, but there was not much damage.

However, the temporary tents built in the yard made the courtyard much more crowded.

As soon as he came back, Yan Bugui ran to him and complained to him about how dangerous they were this time. He also envied Zhou Chen for not being at home during this period and thus escaping this disaster.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed and winter is here again.

In the front yard of the courtyard, Zhou Chen looked at the house that Yan Bugui had built with his own hands, which was nominally a temporary building.

"Third uncle, is it really that serious that you are quarreling with the people in the courtyard just for this little house?"

Yan Bugui was really a calculating person. He took advantage of the last earthquake and came up with this idea to build this temporary house.

In the TV drama plot, he built it together with Liu Haizhong, but Liu Haizhong is no longer able to do so now. Although Liu Haizhong also built two temporary buildings, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had a huge quarrel with their neighbors in the yard because of these buildings.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai stepped in and wanted them to tear it down, but they still didn't do it. In the end, the two families just paid a small amount of money to the hospital to settle the matter.

Not long after the Chen family rose to power, the big boss also rose to power. When he returned to the capital, he specially invited Zhou Chen and He Yuzhu to have a meal with him.

However, after a few years, the leader's health was much worse than a few years ago. When winter came, he felt uncomfortable in many parts of his body and would call Zhou Chen over every once in a while.

The first snow of this winter was a heavy snow. Shortly after the snow, the leader called Zhou Chen and Chen Lin to have dinner together.

"Xiao Chen, I heard from your dad that you and Xiao Zhou are planning to get married after the New Year?"

At the dinner table, the leader asked Chen Lin.

Chen Lin answered truthfully: "Yes, uncle, my parents said that Zhou Chen and I are not young anymore, so it's better for us to get married early. We have no objection."

Zhou Chen also nodded: "Chief, we will ask you to be our witness when the time comes."

The big boss laughed and said, "Okay, I will make time for it no matter what. I am really happy for you that you can make it to the end."

The chief's wife also smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou, Xiao Chen is a good girl. After you get married, you must treat her well."

"Auntie, I know."

After dinner, the leader’s wife took Chen Lin into the house to talk, leaving the living room to Zhou Chen and the top leader.

"Xiao Zhou, I knew I was right about you. It's been eight years. It's really not easy for you to stick with it."

To be honest, Zhou Chen didn't expect that he would wait for Chen Lin for eight years. After all, how many eight years can a person have?

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "So I am a bit stubborn."

"Good point, good point. Old Chen will definitely be very proud to have you as his son-in-law."

At their position, they would have very high expectations for their sons, but for their daughters, they would hope that they could be happy, especially since they have experienced lows themselves, so they care more about their children's lives.

"I heard from Lao Chen that he wants to transfer you to the hospital?"

"Well, the clinic in the steel mill is just a clinic after all. If we can transfer it to a hospital, we will have better development."

Although the clinic in the steel rolling mill is not bad, it is still too monotonous. Zhou Chen has been there for more than ten years. The last time he was at Chen's house, he talked about this with Chen Lin's father. Chen's father also hoped that he could have better development, so they reached a tacit understanding as soon as they talked.

"Okay, I agree. You are still young. With your medical skills, you can go to even the Union Hospital. If you need it, I can also help you find someone."

Zhou Chen did not refuse and said, "If there is a need, I will definitely not be polite to you, Chief."

If it were someone else, the big boss would really not be willing to say this, but Zhou Chen is a young man he is very optimistic about, and he also has the relationship with the Chen family, so he is still very happy to help Zhou Chen.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you."

"Chief, tell me."

"It's not a big deal. Zhuzi came to me a few days ago and asked me to help him find a job for the son of the widow he loves. I asked for him at the time. It just so happens that you are here today. You live in the same hospital, so you must know more about it than I do. I just want to ask you, how is the child he mentioned?"

Although the big boss doesn't think as highly of He Yuzhu as Zhou Chen does, He Yuzhu can be considered a junior with whom he can get along well. Most importantly, he admires He Yuzhu's cooking skills, so if the problem is not too big, he is still willing to help He Yuzhu.

After hearing what the boss said, Zhou Chen immediately knew what was going on. The good job in the plot was also found by He Yuzhu with the help of the boss.

Banggeng is a man of little ability, but for Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu is very sincere to him, disregarding his own face, and begging the senior leader for help, who finally finds him a job as a driver for the leader.

Being a driver for a leader is always a very popular job no matter what era it is. Others would fight hard to get it, but Bang Geng got the benefits in the end.

It's a pity that Banggeng is a real ungrateful person. With the help of He Yuzhu, his career was smooth sailing, but in the end, he did not show any filial piety to He Yuzhu. Not to mention being filial to He Yuzhu, he didn't even have much affection for his mother and family. He didn't care about family affairs and only cared about himself.

What surprised Zhou Chen was that the big boss actually asked him about this.

"Commander, do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?"

The big boss immediately looked surprised: "Of course you are telling the truth when you say this. Why, is there something you can't say?"

"It's not that there's anything I can't say. I'm just afraid that if I tell the truth, you'll think I'm petty and trying to sow discord. After all, you know that there's a conflict between He Yuzhu and me."

"It's not like I can't see it. Of course I know that you and Zhuzi don't get along, but this is your business, and I don't want to ask."

The big boss has known Zhou Chen and his friends for more than ten years. Of course he knew that there was a conflict between Zhou Chen and He Yuzhu, but he had never said it before.

"Why, this matter also involves the conflict between you and Zhuzi?"

Zhou Chen said, "That's not the case. The widow that He Yuzhu likes is called Qin Huairu. She is also a celebrity in our area. However, I can't say anything about the widow's door. What I want to talk about is her son, the child that He Yuzhu asked you to help find a job for."

"This kid's name is Jia Geng. I'm not saying bad things about him behind his back, but this kid does have some minor issues."

The big boss didn't pay attention to Zhou Chen's tone, but asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Helping Jia Geng find a job was just a small matter for him, but after all, he needed to show up in person, so for the sake of his own face, he still had to ask some questions clearly to prevent Jia Geng from using his identity to do something bad in the future.

Zhou Chen did not answer directly, but suddenly asked: "Commander, do you know that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu could have gotten married a long time ago, why did they delay until now? It's because of Qin Huairu's son Jia Geng, he doesn't agree with his mother marrying He Yuzhu."

"He didn't agree with Zhuzi marrying his mother, but Zhuzi wanted to help him find a job. Is this to please him?"

Great leaders have a wealth of life experience and can grasp the key points just by listening.

"I think there should be reasons in this regard, but it's actually nothing. What I want to say is that Jia Geng may not have been taught by his father since he was a child. He has some personality problems and his hands and feet are not clean."

When the boss heard Zhou Chen say this, his expression changed instantly: "He has dirty hands and feet? He stole things?"

"As far as I know, it happened more than once or twice. When Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu were not getting along, Jia Geng often went to He Yuzhu's house to take things. Not only He Yuzhu's house, but also other people's things. Jia Geng took things too. However, everyone in the courtyard was a neighbor, and Qin Huairu was a good person, so no one cared."

After hearing this, the leader's expression became very serious. In his opinion, petty theft from a young age is a very serious matter.

"I heard from Zhuzi that this kid is sweeping the streets now. Do you know how he's doing?"

"I'm not too sure about this, but I heard from people in the hospital that Jia Geng seemed to have caused some trouble on the street."

The big boss didn't say anything else, and he didn't mention the matter again until Zhou Chen and Chen Lin left, but Zhou Chen knew that the big boss must have kept it in mind.

He Yuzhu was still waiting for a reply from his boss at home. He even boasted to Qin Huairu that he could definitely help Banggeng find a good job, and that Banggeng would definitely agree to their marriage then.

He is still looking forward to marrying Qin Huairu, having Qin Huairu give birth to a son for him, and then showing off in front of Xu Damao.

Not being married and not having a son has always been a pain in his heart, especially after Xu Damao had a son, his heart ached even more.

But he never expected that when he went to see the big boss again, the big boss's answer made him feel disappointed.

He returned home in a daze and told Qin Huairu about it, and Qin Huairu's face changed immediately.

If He Yuzhu hadn't boasted to her before, she wouldn't have had much expectations. But He Yuzhu had said that to her, and now the job she had been dreaming about was suddenly gone. Naturally, she felt a huge gap in her heart, and she couldn't even control her expression properly.

Although He Yuzhu is naive, it doesn't mean he is stupid. He just didn't say anything.

It took Qin Huairu a long time before she smiled again and tried to comfort He Yuzhu. However, He Yuzhu was feeling upset and was not very happy, so he was not in the mood to respond.

Because of this incident, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu had little communication for a long time. Even the neighbors in the same courtyard felt that something was wrong between them.

Zhou Chen naturally discovered this as well. He felt that He Yuzhu had brought this upon himself. Did he really think being a stepfather was so easy?

The Spring Festival of 77 was approaching quickly, and Zhou Chen took leave early because he and Chen Lin had decided to get married before the New Year. They would hold the wedding at Chen Lin's home and then return to the courtyard after the New Year to invite the neighbors.

Chen Lin worked at the Civil Affairs Bureau, so they easily got their marriage certificate before the New Year.

When they got the marriage certificate, no matter how strong Chen Lin was, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. After nearly ten years, they finally got married.

"From today on, we are husband and wife." Chen Lin's voice was choked with emotion.

Zhou Chen embraced Chen Lin in his arms: "From today on, you are my wife. To celebrate our marriage today, let's have a good meal tonight."

"Ah."

After the two of them had dinner, Chen Lin followed Zhou Chen back to the courtyard and never left.
