Chapter 478 The old man is thinking ahead and comes to Shichahai again

"Well, actually this was also decided by the old man!"

Chen Wei was smoking a cigarette, looking a little helpless.

Every family spends all their wealth to marry a daughter-in-law, but when it comes to them, not only does the old man refuse to accept the bride price, he even offers his own ancestral home as a dowry.

If he didn't know that his grandfather only had two sons, him and Xiaojun, he would have thought that Zhou Jia might have an illegitimate child with his grandfather outside. There were really many things that even he, the person involved, couldn't guess.

Fortunately, the Zhou family was relatively reliable and spent 88.8 yuan on the betrothal gift. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to mention it to others.

"It seems that the old man still has a long-term vision!"

Hearing that what happened today was actually the old man's idea, Chen Jun couldn't help but admire him.

"No, second brother, what are you talking about? How can the old man think long-term? Is it true that my daughter of the Chen family is marrying up to the Zhou family?"

Chen Wei immediately became unhappy when he heard his second brother's words, and asked with an angry look on his face.

"Brother, do you know Zhou Tian's true identity?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Jun ignored his elder brother Chen Wei's words and asked back.

"His true identity, isn't he the director of the Red Star Research Institute?"

"Yes, you are right. He is indeed the director of the Red Star Research Institute, but what about him?"

Now Chen Wei was a little dumbfounded. What did it mean? Why did he feel like he didn't understand?

Seeing his elder brother's bewildered face, Chen Jun couldn't help but said, "Brother, Zhou Tian is not only the dean of the Red Star Research Institute, he is also a division-level cadre in our army! No, maybe next year he will become a deputy army-level cadre, which means a general!"

"What? Are you kidding me?"

Now Chen Wei was completely shocked by Chen Jun's words. What a joke, military rank? You have to know that he is only a military rank now, and he got this honor only after going through many life and death situations and participating in many battles. But how did Zhou Tian get it?

Just the dean of a research institute, isn't this a joke?

Even though he knew that Zhou Tian was no simple guy, it was impossible for him to be this simple!

He couldn't help but look at his younger brother. He knew that his younger brother was from the Naval General Staff and was better informed than himself. He still wanted to see from his brother's eyes whether he was joking.

But looking at his serious eyes, he lowered his head and couldn't help but take a deep puff of his cigarette.

"Xiaojun, is this guy really that powerful?"

Although he investigated Zhou Tian, ​​in the final analysis, he only found some superficial content. As for deeper things, he did not find any.

"Well, brother, do you know the First Five-Year Plan?"

Chen Jun's expression became serious. Seeing his elder brother nodded, he continued, "In the 15th Five-Year Plan, several items were created by him. I heard from the commander that this guy is highly valued by the higher-ups. I'm afraid that in the future, our Chen family will have to rely on him to make further progress!"

This time, Chen Wei remained silent. He never expected that he originally thought that his daughter was marrying down, but now it seems that she is marrying up. However, he still couldn't figure out what this guy had done to make the higher-ups value him so much.

Just when Chen Wei was puzzled, Zhou Tian had already returned home with his grandparents and Zhou Hao.

After getting off the car, Zhou Tian first helped his grandparents back to the main house, then he drove back to the research institute and then rode his bicycle back home.

"Boss, is the matter done?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Tian was pulled aside by his wife and asked gossipingly.

"Okay, now the marriage has been decided, we just have to wait for Xiaohao and his friends to graduate from college and get married!"

In fact, Zhou Tian didn't know what the Chen family thought about his second brother and Chen Yaning getting married after graduating from university. In his opinion, since the two loved each other, they could just choose a wedding date after getting engaged. However, the Chen family refused because they wanted to keep their daughter for a while longer.

However, his second brother had no objection to this, so naturally he had even less objection.

"By the way, where's Dad?"

Zhou Tian looked around the room and saw only grandparents and mother-in-law coaxing the child, but his father-in-law Shen Jie was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Normally every Sunday, his father-in-law would stay at home and play with the children with his mother-in-law, but he didn't see his father-in-law today, which was a bit strange.

"Dad went to Shichahai to fish!"

"Did you go fishing at Shichahai? Dad knows how to fish?"

Now, Zhou Tian suddenly became curious. He never knew that his father-in-law had such a skill. He couldn't help but become interested and said with shining eyes.

"Of course Dad knows how to fish, and his fishing skills are pretty good! Back then, Dad's fishing skills were among the best in the entire compound!"

Seeing her husband's suspicion, Shen Yulin couldn't help but explain in a low voice.

"Wife, how about we go to Shichahai as well?"

Zhou Tian glanced at the grandparents, mother-in-law and three children who were having fun, and couldn't help but whispered seductively in Shen Yulin's ear.

“But is this convenient?”

Shen Yulin was instantly moved when she heard this. You know, she had been staying at home since she became pregnant and was already bored of it. Now when she heard her husband's suggestion, she suddenly wanted to go out and play.

"Why don't you just not tell grandpa, grandma and parents? Come on, watch me!"

Zhou Tian naturally saw his wife's excitement, winked at her, and then said to his grandparents and mother-in-law: "Grandpa and grandma, mom, Yulin and I are going out for a walk and will be back soon!"

"Okay, Xiaotian, remember to come back early!"

Grandpa, grandma and mother-in-law naturally didn't notice the two of them and responded casually.

Zhou Tian didn't wait for the three to react, and pulled Shen Yulin outside, saying as he walked: "Got it!"

Since Shen Yulin's belly was already big and it was not suitable for her to ride a bicycle, the two decided to walk to Shichahai. After all, Mianhua Hutong was closer to Shichahai, only three miles away, and it would only take about twenty minutes to walk.

After turning several corners out of the alley, the two men came to the street and saw many pedestrians walking in twos and threes on both sides of the road. Rows of willow trees had already sprouted tender buds, and the city in March was no longer cold.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, there were quite a few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a jeep would speed past on the road.

Young people are riding their bicycles, chasing each other and enjoying their youth, and the scene is full of vitality everywhere.

After walking for a while, Zhou Tian stopped to let Shen Yulin rest for a while. After all, there was no rush. It was just past noon, and the two of them could enjoy their own world for the whole afternoon.

It was half an hour later when the two arrived at Shichahai. Zhou Tian was shocked when he saw the dense crowds of people fishing around Shichahai. Even Shen Yulin beside him opened her mouth in shock.

It’s not like Zhou Tian had never been to Shichahai before. After all, he had come here to fish a few years ago. But he didn’t expect that there would be so many people fishing here today.

And the most important thing is, among so many people, finding his father-in-law Shen Jie is like looking for a needle in a haystack. He originally wanted to fish with his father-in-law for a while, but seeing this, he wisely chose to retreat.
