"White roses, just white roses."
"Okay, sir, how many flowers would you like to buy?"
"How many? How many should I buy for my daughter?"
"Sir, you can buy eleven, and I will give you some other flowers as gifts."
"Okay, that's it. Oh, and pack me a bunch of red roses. I want to give it to my wife."
"Sir, you are such a good father and husband. Your wife and daughter must be very happy."
"Thank you."
……
Holding two large bouquets of flowers, Zhou Chen walked towards the school. He didn't know how many years had passed since he last sent flowers.
"Well, when I return to the real world, I must buy a bouquet of flowers for my mother. After being her son for more than 20 years, I have never even given her a single flower. That's not right."
Although he has only been in this world for a month, he already has a lot of thoughts. He used to be a son, and now he is a father. From another perspective, he does understand his parents' thoughts and feels that he has let them down.
"I must make amends after I return."
When I returned to school and just walked up the stairs, I saw Nan Li coming down with Huanhuan and Chaochao.
"father!"
As soon as Huanhuan saw his father, he ran over happily and hugged him.
Zhou Chen was happy to see Huanhuan being so intimate. He squatted down and handed the bouquet of white roses in his right hand to Huanhuan.
"Huanhuan, this is a gift from dad. Congratulations on winning the championship."
On the way here, Nan Li had already sent him a message saying that Huanhuan had won the championship.
"Really? Dad, you are so kind. I love you so much."
Huanhuan took the flowers, kissed Zhou Chen on the face, and jumped happily while holding the flowers.
Nan Li watched this scene with satisfaction. Compared to her, Huanhuan was obviously closer to her father.
"Honey, this is for you."
Looking at the red roses Zhou Chen handed over, Nan Li's face suddenly turned red. "I asked you to buy flowers for your daughter, why did you buy a bouquet for me?"
"Isn't it natural for a husband to buy flowers for his wife?"
Zhou Chen said with a confused look on his face, while Huanhuan and Chaochao beside him snickered.
"Hateful." Nan Li rolled her eyes coquettishly and took the rose with both hands.
Although she said that, she was really happy in her heart. She hadn't received roses from her husband for a long time. She thought Zhou Chen was joking with her just now, but she didn't expect that he actually bought her a bouquet of flowers.
"Come on, go home."
A family of four, two girls holding flowers and Zhou Chen holding Chaochao, walked out of the school gate happily.
As soon as they got in the car, Zhao Na's video came on, Nan Li answered the call, and Huan Huan shouted loudly at the screen: "Grandma, grandma, I'm the champion."
"Really? Our Huanhuan is really the best. Come on, show grandma the trophy."
Huan Huan immediately raised the trophy in her hand and said, "Look, Grandma, this is my championship trophy."
After talking to Huan Huan, Zhao Na instructed Nan Li: "Li Li, I bought some salmon, which was airlifted from Norway. When you come back later, please stop by my place and take some back."
"I got it, Mom."
As soon as Zhao Na hung up the phone, her father Nan Jianlong called again. Huanhuan showed off to her grandfather again. Nan Jianlong said a lot of compliments and then asked them to go home for dinner.
When she heard about going back for dinner, Nan Li looked unhappy, but Huanhuan was very happy and kept mumbling that she wanted to go, so Nan Li could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Li wanted to complain, but when she thought about the children still in the car, she had to give up. However, her good mood just now disappeared in an instant.
Nan Li knew very well that if they went back, Tian Yulan's family would definitely go back as well. She didn't want to see the mother and daughter, so she refused to go to her father's place.
Zhou Chen drove without saying a word. Not only did Nan Li not want to go, he also didn't want to go. He was not the same person he was before, and he had no good feelings towards his father-in-law and his stepwife.
Thinking about it, Nan Li and Tian Yulan would start a battle of wits and courage after they get there, the scene would definitely be a tit-for-tat scene with swords flashing and sabers flying.
When they arrived at the gate of the community, Nan Li got off the car first and went to the opposite side, while Zhou Chen took Huanhuan and Chaochao home.
After placing the two bouquets of flowers in the vase, he was not idle either. He turned on his computer and started typing again.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Nan Li came back from the other side and started to get busy again.
"Lili, there's no need. Just wear what you wore this morning. Why do you want me to change clothes?"
After Nan Li came back, she took out clothes and asked Zhou Chen to change. Zhou Chen was quite depressed. It was just a meal. Was there any need to make such a fuss and even change clothes?
"If you are asked to change, then change it."
Nan Li's attitude was very firm this time. The clothes she took out were specially picked out by her just for the sake of face.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to change into new clothes one by one. Not only him, but Huanhuan and Chaochao also changed into new clothes.
Seeing his wife and children's clothes, which turned out to be brand new parent-child clothes, Zhou Chen felt a little jealous.
"Lili, the three of you are all wearing parent-child outfits, why am I the only one who is different?"
Seeing Zhou Chen's depressed look, Nan Li smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this. It's my fault that I didn't have your size when I bought it. How about you wear my skirt?"
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, and the family of four went out again and headed to his grandfather's house.
Thanks to book friend Yes, Daya for the reward, and thanks to book friend Wandering Foodie for the reward and monthly ticket!

Chapter 15 Father-in-law and Mistress
Located in the same district of Jiangzhou City, Nanba's residential area is not too far from where Zhou Chen and his friends live. It only takes about 20 minutes to drive there. So even though it was almost noon, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and drove slowly on the road.
The community where Nanba lives is an old one with a history of more than 20 years. Because of its long history, there are no tall buildings, and the tallest one is only four or five stories high.
There are parking spaces at the entrance of the community. When Zhou Chen and his friends arrived, there happened to be a space available, so they parked smoothly.
Carrying the fruit basket they bought on the road, a family of four walked into the residential area. After turning two corners, they suddenly met an old man.
Before Zhou Chen could react, Huanhuan and Chaochao cheered.
“Grandpa!” “Grandpa!”
"Huanhuan, Chaochao!"
The old man also happily hugged the two children, loving them on the left and kissing them on the right, showing special pampering.
"dad."
Zhou Chen followed Nan Li and shouted.
"Oh, Lili."
The old man focused most of his attention on the children and a little on his daughter. As for Zhou Chen, he felt ignored.
Zhou Chen was looking at Nan Jianlong. If he didn't know the truth, who would have thought that this kind and amiable old man would be a scumbag who cheated on his wife and abandoned his daughter.
"Let's go home."
Nan Jianlong led his two children towards home. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a woman in her sixties coming towards them.
"Hello, Grandma Cai."
Huanhuan and Chaochao called out to Cai Juying, then pulled their grandfather Nan Jianlong into the house.
"Lili is here."
When Cai Juying saw Nan Li, she called out happily, and Nan Li responded indifferently.
Cai Juying had long been accustomed to Nan Li's attitude and did not care. Instead, she looked at Zhou Chen and said with a smile, "Since you are here, what else do you want to bring?"
Zhou Chen didn't know how to address him, so he could only smile and say, "Of course, of course."
After taking a look at Cai Juying, he found that this smiling woman was quite kind.
However, having an affair with a married man, becoming a mistress, and breaking up other people's families is a lifelong disgrace and it is really hard for people to respect you.
After entering the room, Cai Juying squatted down deliberately, took slippers for Nan Li, and placed them at Nan Li's feet with a smile on her face.
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Nan Li took the initiative to say thank you for the first time.
Seeing that no one asked him about himself, Zhou Chen felt really depressed. In the real world, he had never been married, so he didn't know how he would be treated when he went to his father-in-law's house.
But from the perspective of the Nan family, his identity as a son-in-law did not seem to be popular at all. Not only did Nan Jianlong not care, but even Cai Juying did not greet him. He could only take a pair of disposable slippers placed at the door and put them on.
However, after putting on his slippers, he glanced at the side and found three pairs of slippers, two large and one small. Unlike the disposable slippers he and Nan Li wore, these three pairs of slippers were normal slippers to be worn at home.
Zhou Chen's eyes flickered a few times. Generally speaking, one would not wear disposable slippers at home. Disposable slippers were usually for guests.
Here, Cai Juying prepared disposable slippers for the two of them, and prepared daily slippers for Tian Yulan's family.
It was obvious that Cai Juying, who appeared to be very polite and kind, essentially treated their family as guests and her biological daughter Tian Yulan's family as family members.
This may not be what Cai Juying did on purpose, but it just reflects her true thoughts.
This is interesting.
If this family belongs to Cai Juying, then there is no problem doing this, but this family belongs to Nan Jianlong, and Nan Li is Nan Jianlong's biological daughter, and Tian Yulan is his stepdaughter;
As a result, when Nan Li returns to her home, she is treated as a guest, while her stepdaughter is treated as a family member.
Zhou Chen felt that he was overthinking and being too sensitive, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had watched the TV series and knew the complicated situation involved.
It would be fine if I didn’t see it, but now that I have seen it, how can I not think about it?
However, his wife Nan Li, the person involved, did not show anything, so Zhou Chen naturally would not show it either.
After putting the fruit down and walking to the sofa, Zhou Chen heard Nan Jianlong praising Huanhuan.
Some genius, some child prodigy Gan Luo or something like that, made Huanhuan very happy.
My father-in-law is indeed a cultured man, his way of praising people is so refreshing and unconventional.
As they were talking, the door was opened and a woman's voice was heard.
"Here we come!"
Zhou Chen turned his head and saw Yan Peng walking in. Next to Yan Peng was a woman and a boy.
The woman must be Tian Yulan. I have to say that Tian Yulan has a big frame and looks almost as tall as Yan Peng. She has short hair, a blue and white shirt, and a dark blue skirt. She looks capable and yet a bit worldly.
The little boy looks to be about the same height as Huanhuan, so he must be Yan Ziyu.
Huanhuan and Chaochao happily ran from their grandpa Nan Jianlong's arms to the door, calling them aunt and uncle one by one.
Huanhuan pulled Yan Ziyou into the toy room, while Chaochao sweetly praised his aunt for being pretty and his uncle for being handsome, making them both laugh.
Cai Juying came over with a fruit plate. Tian Yulan wanted to help, but Cai Juying pretended not to see it and placed it directly in front of Nan Li.
"Lili, eat some fruit."
Nan Li smiled but didn't do anything. Instead, Tian Yulan, who was standing behind, had an unhappy look on her face because she couldn't stand the way her mother tried to curry favor with Nan Li.
Nan Jianlong asked, "Are the dishes ready?"
Cai Juying: "It's almost ready. You can eat it anytime."
When Nan Jianlong heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "What are you waiting for? Serve the food, serve the food."
Just as Nan Li was about to stand up, Nan Jianlong pushed her down, then waved to Zhou Chen and Yan Peng: "There are a lot of dishes today, you two come and serve them."
Zhou Chen clapped his hands, stood up, and went to the kitchen with Yan Peng.
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that there were indeed a lot of dishes. There were a lot of them, at least ten or so.
It has to be said that Cai Juying has the ability to serve people, otherwise, Nan Jianlong would not have abandoned his wife and daughter and married her.
When the dishes were served, Zhou Chen saw the painting on the round table at a glance. He remembered it very clearly. It was the painting that Huanhuan had drawn in her painting class.
He didn't want to bring this up at first, but as soon as he put the food down, Nan Jianlong pulled him aside, pointed at the turntable and asked, "Junshan, come and take a look. Are you familiar with it?"
Zhou Chen could only follow his lead: "Isn't this Huanhuan's painting?"
"Really? This was drawn by Huanhuan."
Yan Peng leaned over the table and took a look curiously, but the next moment, his expression changed.
Nan Jianlong pointed at the painting and said with a smile: "This is grandpa's favorite."
