Chapter 277 We Are No Longer in Our Hometown

Zhao Yuxi had dinner at Gu Tingzhou's house and slept at his house at night. Before going to bed, Zhao Yuxi showed Gu Tingzhou a recent and important work report. The two checked and replied to emails, and when the time was up, they went to sleep.

At this time, Gu Tingzhou's parents finally confirmed that the two were indeed married and had obtained a marriage certificate. Otherwise, with Gu Tingzhou's personality, how could he sleep with a girl? With his personality, it was rare for him to take the initiative to talk to girls.

Gu Yuntian asked with a little resentment: "What do you think of the wife my son married?"

It's normal for my husband to feel resentful. Apart from the first time she called out "Uncle and Auntie" when she first entered the door, she only called her Auntie and never Uncle.

"I can't tell, but she must be quite rich. The bracelet on her hand must be worth a lot of money."

"Doesn't Gu Tingzhou also have a bracelet on his hand? Was it given to him by his wife?"

"Why do you care so much? Anyway, I don't think he bought it. It might be given by someone else. People of his level will definitely receive gifts during work."

"Why doesn't anyone give us gifts?"

Jiang Hui glanced at him and scolded him, "If someone gave it to you as a gift, would you dare to accept it? After accepting it, don't you have to give it back to him? He is the one who helped others with the work, so he must be the one who accepted the gift."

"I just said it casually. They got married, got the marriage certificate, had jobs and houses, and in the blink of an eye, they got it done."

"It's not good after it's done? We don't need to worry about it anymore."

The next morning, Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi got up very early. They had breakfast and set off.

Jiang Hui symbolically asked them to stay for a few more days. She knew very well that her request would never succeed. Gu Tingzhou was unwilling to stay at home for a long time, so his wife would definitely be even more unwilling to stay at home.

Around noon, the two arrived in the city.

Zhao Yuxi used the elements to dissolve each other, and Gu Tingzhou followed his traces and came to the suburbs with her.

The house of Zhao Yuxi's sister was not old, it could even be described as "brand new". Gu Tingzhou soon figured out the reason: before the "darkness" came, Zhao Yuxi was very poor, but after becoming the dean of the branch, Zhao Yuxi was no longer poor.

"Is my house okay?"

"Okay." Gray brick walls, a cement yard, and a two-story building in the yard. Such a house is certainly not high-end, but if you think about it carefully, it should be much better than the house where Sister Zhao Yuxi lived before.

"It's lunch time, go in quickly, don't let me push you." Zhao Yuxi said while gently pushing his back.

What Gu Tingzhou felt was enthusiasm, not coercion.

"Okay, okay. How many people are there in your family? What are you going to talk about when we meet?"

"Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa, you can say whatever you want. They just don't like me, not you."

Gu Tingzhu nervously pushed the door open and entered the yard. In addition to a two-story building, there were several one-story houses in the yard. Judging from the couplet, the large house on the left was probably the kitchen. The houses on the right were probably toilets or warehouses.

Gu Tingzhou was curious whether this style of house was unique to this area? Why did Zhao Yuxi choose this type of house for her family to live in? Is this type of house cheaper? Is it necessary for her to save money on such things? Did she deliberately want her family to suffer? No, if she wanted her family to suffer, why would she buy them a new house?
Someone came out of the room on the left carrying food. Judging from her age, that person was Zhao Yuxi's mother. "Mom, I'm back. This person is my husband. We've already obtained the marriage certificate."

Gu Tingzhou did not call her "wife", and she did not want to call Gu Tingzhou "husband". To them, these two titles were very unfamiliar. Daughter-in-law and husband were also two very unfamiliar titles, but compared with "husband" and "wife", they were slightly easier to accept, at least minus the word "old".

Zhao Yuxi's mother Lin Ping stood there in a daze: Xixi got married to someone else? The last time I saw her, she hadn't mentioned this. How come she got married to someone else this time? So soon?
"Auntie, she and I used to be colleagues. We met at work."

"We are colleagues. Between you and her, who has a higher position?" Although her daughter never told her the nature of her job, Lin Ping had some guesses about her job, and she believed she was right.

This question was very sudden. Zhao Yuxi didn't expect her mother to ask this, and neither did Gu Tingzhou.

"Aunt, I am at the same level as her." Gu Tingzhou avoided the word "official" and used the word "level" instead. Logically speaking, the director of the branch of the research institute is not an official position. Sister Zhao Yuxi should not have told her family about her exact position. The so-called official position is probably her mother's inference. Zhao Yuxi cares about power, not official position. As her husband, he should respect her habits.

"She and I are of the same rank", to Lin Ping, this meant "we are both of the same rank". It was a good thing that they held the same official position, and they were a perfect match.

"They are of the same rank, they are both high-ranking officials. How old are you? Who is older between you and Xixi?"

"She's older than me."

Wow, my daughter is quite capable. She said before that she wanted to find someone younger than her, and she actually found one. This boy looks younger than her, but not by much, at most one year younger. Moreover, this boy is not bad looking. It’s different when you become an official. You can find whatever kind of person you want.

"Xixi, you have to take good care of him. You are older than him."

"Mom, I got it. Let me help you serve the dishes." Mom is really bold. She first asked about his official position, then his age, and then asked me to take care of him. What should I say next? Should I ask who is the head of the family? I can't let her say anything more. I don't really want to control Gu Tingzhou. As long as he has me in his heart, it doesn't matter who is the head of the family. It makes no difference.

"When are you two going to have a baby?"

Zhao Yuxi was startled, her hand slipped, and the plate fell.

Gu Tingzhou flicked his fingers lightly, sending out a gust of wind that made the plate float up a little, and then he reached out to hold the plate. He knew very well why Sister Zhao Yuxi was panicking. Forget about having a child, the last step has not been taken yet. When the last step is taken, it will not be too late to talk about the child.

Zhao Yuxi gritted her teeth and said, "I'm busy with work and don't plan to have children in the near future."

Gu Tingzhou's eyes widened, and he sighed in his heart: Zhao Yuxi is busy with work and doesn't want a child, does that mean she doesn't want to take the last step? Forget it, I'll wait for her, anyway, what is supposed to happen will happen. When she figures it out, it will definitely happen.

"Come on, Gu Tingzhou. I'll trouble you to serve the dishes. I stayed at your house last night, so you can stay at my house tonight. After dinner, I'll take you to other places."

Gu Tingzhou followed Zhao Yuxi into the living room. It was called a living room, but it also served as a dining room. There was a wooden square table in the living room. The table was not big, with four chairs on each side, simple and ordinary.

In the living room, Gu Tingzhou met Zhao Yuxi's father.

The two looked at each other and remained silent tacitly.

He heard everything they said outside, so there was no need to say anything more.
