Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

If it was their family, it wouldn't be surprising.

But Luo Ming still couldn't believe it. After all, Luo Ming was different from the Chen Wei brothers. He was affiliated with the Armed Forces Department and knew the Red Star Research Institute very well. He knew very well that if this Zhou Tian was really the dean of the Red Star Research Institute, then the Chen family was really lucky.

However, as he was an outsider, it was not easy for him to ask in detail.

"Okay, stop talking, the meal is ready, let's all come and eat!"

Just as everyone was thinking different things and talking and laughing, a young woman in military uniform came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and greeted everyone.

"By the way, Xiaojun, ask your sister-in-law and Xiaotao to come over as well. Today is your niece's big day, so don't be polite!"

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go call them right away!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun did not hesitate to stand up, say hello to Zhou Tian and the others, then turned and walked out.

"Alright, Xiaotian, Erlao, Lao Luo, let's go and take our seats!"

Chen Wei also took everyone to the dining table in the living room and sat down. After everyone was seated, Zhou Tian noticed that Zhou Hao looked absent-minded, and he immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but ask, "Chief, where is Yaning? Why don't I see Yaning today?"

He didn't care about it just now, but now that he saw that Chen Yaning was not at home, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. You know, today is the day when their Zhou family comes to the Chen family for engagement. If the hostess is not at home, it would be a bit funny.

"Where else can we go? In the room!"

When Chen Wei heard Zhou Tian's words, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Hao, then stood up and walked to a closed room and knocked on the door: "Yaning, come out to eat!"

"I know dad!"

As Chen Yaning's pleasant voice came from inside, Chen Wei returned to his seat with a little helplessness: "People often say that a son is no longer under the control of his mother, but now my daughter is no longer under the control of her father!"

"Old Chen, I think you are a man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. How about this, I also like this boy Zhou Hao. Anyway, my daughter is about the same age as your daughter, so why don't you let Xiao Hao be my son-in-law so that you won't despise him!"

At this time Luo Ming also realized that Zhou Tian was indeed the person he imagined, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

I really don't know what kind of luck this Chen Dapao has. His daughter actually married into the Zhou family. You know, as Zhou Tian develops more and more technologies, the higher-ups are paying more and more attention to him.

Although Zhou Tian still has a file in the military, in fact his file has long been classified as top secret by the higher-ups. Even people of low status cannot access it. Even though the Chen family is a military family, Zhou Tian is not weak after all.

"Ahem, what are you talking about, Lao Luo? What do you mean by I don't like you? If I really don't like you, would I agree to let this guy come to my house to get engaged?"

Chen Wei was immediately speechless after being spit out by his old comrade, but he still cursed in his heart: "Is this old guy trying to steal my girl?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret calling this old guy today.

As they were talking, the door of the room opened, and a beautiful girl about eighteen years old, dressed in a lolita dress, walked out of the room shyly. When she saw the gazes of Zhou Hao's family, she lowered her head even more, not daring to see anyone, and could only sit quietly next to her father.

As plates of delicious food were served on the table, Chen Jun and his family arrived.

Suddenly, the whole Chen family became lively, especially Chen Wei and Chen Jun, who all turned their eyes to Zhou Hao and kept asking about his situation. Although they all knew that Zhou Tian had achieved greater success, Zhou Hao was the protagonist today.

After the meal, everyone began to discuss the engagement and marriage of the two. Since they were still young and in school, the two families decided to set the wedding date after they graduated.

As for the betrothal gift and marriage, after discussion, the two families unanimously chose to simply handle the matter.

After all, even the higher-ups are advocating thrift and frugality. If the two families really hold a high-profile wedding, then they will be confronting the higher-ups. This is no joke.

After some bargaining, the final betrothal gift was an auspicious number of 88.8 yuan. This was won by the Zhou family because they did not want Chen Yaning to suffer any injustice. Otherwise, according to the Chen family, the betrothal gift would only be 18.8 yuan as a token of their appreciation.

After all, the Chen family is not short of money.

As for the dowry, the Chen family decided to give a two-story courtyard house in Houhai as the couple's new home. Of course, this was also the idea of ​​the old man of the Chen family. This courtyard house used to be the Chen family's ancestral home, but after liberation, as everyone in the family had their own jobs and the state allocated houses, no one lived in the ancestral home. Fortunately, according to the old man's wishes, he originally planned to donate the ancestral home to the state. Now that his granddaughter is getting married, he can give it as a dowry.

After everything was agreed upon, Zhou Tian and the other three left Chen's house and drove out of the military compound.

Ten minutes after leaving, the people in the car were still confused. Especially Zhou Hao, after learning about Chen Yaning's family background, he felt that the gap between their identities and status was too big, and he felt like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

He was also prepared to be separated by the Chen family, but he never expected that things would develop so smoothly, so smoothly that he even couldn't believe it. The Chen family would even give a courtyard house as a dowry.

"Brother, what on earth is going on? Why do I still feel like I'm dreaming? It's so unreal!"

In the car, Zhou Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked the doubts in his heart. This was really different from what he and his eldest brother had expected.

"It's okay. Since this is the Chen family's decision, just follow it!"

Zhou Tian did not explain and said casually that, in fact, he was also confused. However, although he was confused, he could still see that the Chen family seemed to be different from what he thought. Perhaps the other party really saw the potential in Zhou Hao.

This was the only way he could comfort himself.

"Okay, don't think too much. The Chen family can agree to Xiaohao and Yaning's marriage, which means they don't look down on our family. If that's the case, what else do we have to think about?"

Grandpa was very open-minded. After all, with the ability of the Chen family, it was not surprising even if they really looked down on their Zhou family. Since the two sides were now relatives, why should they think too much? To put it bluntly, in his opinion, it was their Zhou family that made a big profit this time.

"Yes! Second brother, you will have a wife in the future. Since the two families have already made an engagement, you must treat Yaning well in the future, understand?"

Grandma had the same opinion on this matter as Grandpa. She thought Chen Yaning was a very good person. Since she became the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhou family, they would be a family in the future.

"Got it, Grandpa and Grandma!"

After hearing what his grandparents said, Zhou Hao felt that maybe he had thought too much, but for some reason, he still felt that things were a little absurd.

After all, marrying a wife requires spending most of the family savings. How come in his case, he not only did not lose money, but also made money?

........

Military compound, Chen family.

After everyone from the Zhou family left, the brothers Chen Wei and Chen Jun sat in the living room and started smoking. As for the dining table, the women in the family naturally cleaned it.

"Brother, is Yaning and the Zhou family's marriage really confirmed?"

Chen Jun knocked the ash into the ashtray and couldn't help asking.
