Chapter 36 The future son-in-law comes to visit!
Early the next morning, Li Changhe took the gifts he bought for Professor Zhu and others and went upstairs.

This is the first time he has come to Zhu Lin's house in such a long time.

Boom boom boom!
Li Changhe knocked on the door very nervously. After all, in a sense, this was the first time for a young lady to get married.

Soon, the door opened, and what appeared inside was not Zhu Lin's charming face, but Dr. Liu's slightly majestic face.

However, after seeing Li Changhe, Liu Shuwan's expression relaxed a little.

"Aunt Liu"

When Li Changhe saw that it was Liu Shuwan who opened the door, he immediately called out to her sweetly.

"Is it the long river? What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Liu Shuwan looked at Li Changhe hesitantly. Although her daughter was dating him, it was too unreasonable for him to come to her house so early in the morning.

"Aunt Liu, I came back from the Northeast yesterday and brought some things for Uncle Zhu and you. I'm bringing them up to you."

Liu Shuwan lowered her head and saw that Li Changhe was holding something in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Shuwan felt a little happy.

It’s not that she covets these things. After all, her family background is not low.

Instead, they were surprised that Li Changhe still kept them in his mind when he went out. This is a rare thing for young people of this era.

"come in!"

Liu Shuwan moved aside and Li Changhe walked in.

This house is similar to Li Changhe’s, also a two-bedroom house.

In the living room, an old man who was slightly older than Li Lishan was sitting on the sofa, looking at Li Changhe with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Professor Zhu did not know Li Changhe, although he had heard of his name for a long time.

"Hey, Changhe, why are you here?"

At this time, Zhu Lin walked out of the bathroom in a clean and elegant manner. She was a little surprised to see Li Changhe coming to her house.

"Are you Li Changhe?"

Professor Zhu also became curious at this time and looked at Li Changhe.

In terms of appearance, Li Changhe is tall and handsome, but his face is not square, which makes him look less masculine at first glance.

But it still looks pleasing to the eye.

"Uncle Zhu, I came back from the Northeast and brought some gifts for you and Auntie."

Li Changhe respectfully placed the thing in his hand on the coffee table.

Zhu Lin became interested after hearing this.

"Let me see, what did you bring?"

Then, Zhu Lin walked over, opened the bag, and took out a ginseng bag from it.

"What is this? Bark?"

When Zhu Lin saw this thing, he was really surprised. What was this thing wrapped in tree bark?
"You look so ignorant, this is a ginseng bun!"

"From the looks of it, this is old ginseng dug from the deep mountains, right?"

Liu Shuwan stood aside and first complained about her daughter, then asked Li Changhe.

She came from a good family and had seen this thing often before.

"Yes, there happened to be some ginseng in the village over there. I brought it back from the mountains. I thought it was very good, so I bought it!"

"This is really valuable, Changhe. We can't accept it. Take it back to your father!"

Liu Shuwan declined politely.

"Auntie, my dad has one too!"

Li Changhe explained immediately.

"Hey, kid, we are already so old, why are you still buying this thing? It's a waste of money!"

Liu Shuwan sighed at this time, but her tone was much more intimate.

There was no such thing as engagement these days. When a man and a woman made their relationship public, it was actually equivalent to an engagement in later generations, and there were very few people who regretted it.

So in a sense, Li Changhe can be considered as their son-in-law who has not yet married into the family.

But having said that, they are not married after all. It is good enough that Li Changhe can think of them when he goes out.

Now seeing the gifts Li Changhe brought, this old mountain ginseng alone costs several hundred dollars, which represents all the thoughtfulness.

"He has the money, so it's his responsibility to buy it." Zhu Lin couldn't stand her mother's hypocritical attitude. She was obviously very happy, but she still criticized her. She retorted immediately.

Liu Shuwan was somewhat dissatisfied when she heard her daughter was ruining her career.

"You young people are always extravagant when it comes to spending money. Why don't you be more frugal in your life? There are many places to spend money."

Wow, the topic has suddenly turned to future life.

Li Changhe was speechless and stood there not knowing how to respond.

Professor Zhu also felt that this was a bit off topic. People came to give gifts, so where were the mother and daughter going?
"Okay, Changhe, come and sit down!"

"Shuwan, put your things away."

"Linlin, go pour Changhe a cup of tea."

Professor Zhu tried to smooth things over and Li Changhe sat down.

"I heard that you went to the Northeast this time to visit your sister, right? How is she over there? Is she okay?"

Professor Zhu also has two daughters, but the eldest daughter has been married for a long time and both husband and wife have jobs.

The youngest daughter was Zhu Lin, who also went to the countryside during that era.

However, after two years in the countryside, the couple worked hard to transfer her to the art troupe. Later, they found an opportunity to withdraw from the art troupe, entered a health center, and recommended her to medical school.

Compared with her peers, her performance is top-notch.

Li Lishan’s eldest daughter is the same age as Zhu Lin, but her treatment is not as good.

"Fortunately, I got married there, and my husband and I are living in harmony and have a happy family."

Li Changhe spoke simply and he was telling the truth. His eldest sister and her husband did live in harmony.

As for the family, it wasn’t that full before, after all, I was one family with my parents-in-law.

But now that we’ve separated, the family is not happy anymore!

"That's good, but now that I'm married, it's not easy to go back to the city!"

Professor Zhu said with emotion.

"Actually, there is a chance. I brought textbooks to my sister so that she can continue studying."

"When the college entrance examination is resumed, she can get admitted to a university and then get her urban hukou back."

After Li Changhe finished speaking, Professor Zhu nodded.

"That's a good idea. I heard from Linlin that you are also preparing for the college entrance examination?"

"If you work hard during this period, you will have the college entrance examination this year, probably at the end of the year, if nothing unexpected happens!"

It is now the end of August, and the science and education meeting between the old man and the Ministry of Education has been going on for more than half a month, and many things have been clarified.

"So soon? Will it be restored this year?"

Liu Shuwan, who was washing fruit nearby, heard the conversation between the two and was a little bit unbelievable.

Seeing Liu Shuwan's incredulous expression, Professor Zhu smiled and said, "At the Science and Education Conference, Associate Professor Cha from Wuhan proposed that the college entrance examination be resumed as soon as possible."

"Many professors from other schools also support this suggestion."

"Then the top leaders asked the Ministry of Education for its opinion, and Minister Liu said that if it was delayed for half a year, it would be in time."

"The higher-ups have already made the decision. We still have time this year, so let's change it this year!"

"If you do the math, it's probably in December, so you need to prepare early."

Professor Zhu finally looked at Li Changhe and spoke seriously and concernedly.

Li Changhe nodded: "I understand, Uncle Zhu!"

Afterwards, they chatted for a while, and Professor Zhu and Liu Shuwan got up and prepared to go to work.

But before leaving, Liu Shuwan looked at Li Changhe and Zhu Lin and reminded them, "You two, go out for a walk if you have time today, don't stay at home all the time!"

Although their relationship is public, they are not married after all. It is not okay for a man and a woman to stay at home alone all the time!

"Got it, we'll be out soon!"

Zhu Lin looked at his mother speechlessly, wondering why she was so nosy.

After Professor Zhu and his wife left, Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe pretentiously and questioned him angrily.

"Li Changhe, where is my gift?"

　Brothers, please give more support to this book because we will give double monthly tickets for May Day. It was not easy to get on the new book list, but its ranking has dropped sharply. The author is so unpopular. Li Changhe does not need monthly tickets, but the author wants them. Please help!
