Star City, Rongcheng District, in a certain community.
Today the Zhang family is eating dinner a bit later than usual, not just because it's Saturday and a rest day, but also because his son has brought his girlfriend home for the first time.
Xiao Zhang is 27 this year, graduated with a master's degree just a year ago, and after graduation, he joined the Star City Industrial Design Research Institute. The girl he brought home is his colleague at the institute and also a Star City person.
Zhang Tiejun had heard about it before and had discreetly inquired about the girl's family situation and was quite satisfied with all aspects.
So he and his wife had long been urging Xiao Zhang to bring his girlfriend home for them to see.
After all, as a somewhat traditional person, Zhang Tiejun didn't want his son to be like some teachers at school who plan to remain unmarried for life.
