Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

(The pace has quickened. There won't be much time left in university life. After some arrangements are made, we'll get to the main storyline. Keep moving forward!)

Since meeting Zhao Lichun that day, Chu Shijun's daily life has become regular and fulfilling again.

Besides attending classes and handling student council affairs, I reviewed and copied articles on the rise of a great power and sent them to the branch office of the Handong Daxia Daily.

In addition, he was running around to various government agencies, collecting information, and drafting the first draft of the development report for Handong Province.

Therefore, time flies, and before we knew it, the semester was coming to an end.

That afternoon, the bell rang.

The students in the classroom sat in their seats, waiting for the teacher to collect the test papers.

A few minutes later, after all the papers were collected, everyone cheered and rushed out of the classroom.

This is their class's last exam of the semester, which also means the winter break is coming and they can go home for the Chinese New Year.

As Chu Shijun and Pei Qianqian walked out of the teaching building, they smiled happily, because tomorrow they would be going to the capital.

However, Pei Qianqian had already developed her beauty and maturity, shedding her youthful naiveté and gradually exuding a mature charm.

Clearly, someone succeeded in the past two months.

"Shijun, what time did you buy your ticket?"

"Nine o'clock in the morning," Chu Shijun replied after thinking for a moment.

"It's so early! I was hoping to sleep in tomorrow!"

Pei Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, her face falling. She had been so tired from the exams these past two days.

"We'll be taking the train, and it'll be afternoon by then. If we leave late, it'll be cold in Beijing at night. Besides, we can buy some things if we go early. We can't go to see your aunt empty-handed."

"Okay, but I'm going to sleep in the day after tomorrow, and I'll sleep until Chinese New Year!"

"Okay, okay, you can sleep as late as you want, whatever you want."

Chu Shijun took Pei Qianqian's hand and walked towards the cafeteria.

That evening, after they parted ways, the two returned to their dorm room to pack their luggage.

When Chu Shijun returned, the other two people in the dormitory had already left and their beds were empty. Qi Tongwei, on the other hand, did not rush home this time, but instead leisurely watched Chu Shijun busy.

"Tongwei, things are different now that you have a girlfriend. You're not even going home for the New Year. It's not good to forget about your family now that you have a girlfriend," Chu Shijun teased.

"Go away, how dare you say that to me? You're in a hurry to go to Beijing with Qianqian too," Qi Tongwei said with a laugh, without refuting.

During this time, Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu finally confirmed their relationship. Because it hadn't been long, not many people knew about it.

Qi Tongwei stayed at Liang Lu's request, saying that her family wanted to see him, so he would go back a few days later.

"Shijun, I'm going to see Liang Lu's father, and I'm a little nervous!" Qi Tongwei finally couldn't help but speak up.

"You're nervous, but I'm nervous too," Chu Shijun said without looking up. "What son-in-law isn't nervous meeting his father-in-law? Besides, you've already met Teacher Liang's mother."

"Don't worry, just stand behind Teacher Liang, she'll take the heat for you. Besides, Secretary Liang definitely knows about your family situation. If he really didn't think highly of you, he wouldn't have met with you. Just be steady and ask him if you don't understand anything."

"Will this work?"

Qi Tongwei was still somewhat worried.

"What are you afraid of? His dad doesn't have any bodyguards. He won't point a gun at you. At most, it's Teacher Liang's brother who's in the army. He might give you a promotion."

"Promotion?"

Qi Tongwei was puzzled. "I haven't even started working yet, so why is he promoting me to officer? Especially in the military."

Chu Shijun had finished tidying up by now. He clapped his hands and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Don't worry, it's definitely good news!"

"Fine, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway. What can they do to me?" Qi Tongwei suppressed the unknown panic in his heart and turned to Chu Shijun, "Shijun, don't talk about me, when are you and Qianqian going to meet her father?"

Chu Shijun stiffened, then chuckled awkwardly, "No rush, we'll meet her next year. I'm not afraid of her father!"

Thinking that Pei Yihong knew he had taken advantage of his "cabbage," he was indeed afraid that the other party would point a gun at him.

"You're really brave!"

Qi Tongwei gave a thumbs up.

"Absolutely!"

Silent all night.

……

The next day, after breakfast, Chu Shijun and Pei Qianqian arrived at Jingzhou Railway Station with their luggage. They did not plan to take a plane, firstly because they were not in a hurry, and secondly because they wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Both of their luggage were in his hands, but it mostly belonged to Pei Qianqian. After she went to Beijing, she would stay at her aunt's house and fly back to Linjiang.

Chu Shijun will return to Jingzhou to show the first draft of the report to Jiang Tiankuo and the others before going home.

After boarding the train, Pei Qianqian suddenly asked curiously, "Hey, Shijun, Luzhou is developing quite well. I've been there once before. Why doesn't Luzhou have an airport yet?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shijun smiled.

"Don't worry, according to my inside information, they will definitely be built there in the future. After all, the geographical location is very important, and I estimate that two will be built."

One is for enjoying glory, the other for being a friend of plum blossoms.

However, my friends from Luzhou don't like to fly there; they always fly from neighboring provinces and cities, and I don't know why.

"Woo"

Clang, clang...

After the whistle was sounded, and the rhythmic sound of the train wheels hitting the tracks filled the air, the train bound for Beijing departed.

……

At 6 p.m., the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station.

It was January, and it got dark very early and was very cold in the capital.

After wrapping Pei Qianqian in two more sets of thick clothes, the two of them got off the train with the flow of people.

As I approached the exit, I heard someone calling out from afar, "Qianqian!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a tall young man wearing a military green jacket waving in the distance.

"That's my cousin, Zheng Jianguo," Pei Qianqian said, turning her head and raising her hand. "Cousin!"

After the three met, Pei Qianqian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Zheng Jianguo, who had just witnessed their actions, smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, you must be Chu Shijun, right? I'm Zheng Jianguo, Qianqian's cousin. You can call me cousin too."

"Okay, Cousin Jianguo!"

The two shook hands.

At this moment, Zheng Jianguo waved to the distance, and soon an old Toyota Crown drove up.

Chu Shijun's pupils contracted slightly upon catching a glimpse of the license plate number.

After loading the luggage into the car, Zheng Jianguo took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat and said to the middle-aged man driving, "Brother Qiu, let's go."

The group chatted casually on the way, mostly about interesting things related to their studies, life, and work.

Pei Qianqian tried to subtly inquire with Zheng Jianguo about her aunt's opinion several times, but he didn't answer and deliberately avoided the question. This infuriated Pei Qianqian, and she puffed out her cheeks, refusing to let Zheng Jianguo take her luggage when she got off the bus.

Zheng Jianguo smiled helplessly, "Look, you're in such a hurry again! Have you forgotten what I told Shijun to call me? You're so stupid, you can't even remember. Don't you see that Shijun isn't in a hurry at all?"

Pei Qianqian paused, looked up at Chu Shijun who was suppressing a laugh, and glared at him. "Fine, you're all bullying me! I'm going to tell Auntie!"

After saying that, he lightly stepped on the two of them and quickly ran into the yard.

"Let's go, Shijun, dinner should be ready. Brother Qiu is coming too."

Zheng Jianguo, carrying the luggage Pei Qianqian had left behind, spoke to the two of them.

Chu Shijun was not surprised to see that Zheng Jianguo had invited Brother Qiu to dinner as well.

Drivers who can drive cars with these license plates are all trusted confidants; in ancient times, they would be household retainers.
