Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 175 Family Banquet
Because all the dishes had been prepared long ago, Zhou Jin quickly cooked them all, and Xu's mother helped bring all the dishes to the table one by one.
Looking at the delicious food, Xu's mother also felt that Zhou Jin was indeed very outstanding and that he and Lou Xiao'e were a perfect match.
In fact, when Xu's mother learned that Lou Bancheng had started arranging a blind date for Lou Xiao'e, and that the man had to be a worker, she had other ideas.
She has worked in the Lou family for so many years and has a very good relationship with Lou's mother. They usually call each other sisters, so naturally she knows more about the situation of the Lou family.
Therefore, Xu's mother had the idea of introducing her son, Xu Damao, to Lou Xiao'e. Although Xu Damao is just a projectionist now, he is a worker after all, and he looks good.
If they could marry Lou Xiao'e, their family would be like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In the eyes of others, capitalists are scourges that eat people without leaving any bones. However, only people like Xu's mother who truly understand capitalists know how comfortable their lives are.
If we could really become relatives with the Lou family, then our family would be considered to have climbed up the social ladder.
It’s just that at the beginning, Lou Bancheng had high requirements for Lou Xiaoe’s blind date. Although he was a worker, he had very high requirements for education, character, and family.
Xu's mother knew that Xu Damao's character was totally unacceptable to Lou Bancheng, so she had no choice but to wait.
Perhaps it is because people do not understand the comfortable life of capitalists, or perhaps there is still hostility towards capitalists.
Those young talents who met the requirements directly withdrew from the blind date after learning about Lou Xiao'e's identity.
Faced with this situation, Lou's mother often complained to Xu's mother, which in turn rekindled Xu's mother's hope.
But she was not in a hurry. She was also waiting. When Lou Bancheng was completely desperate, she would push Xu Damao out. That would make things twice as effective with half the effort and great things could be accomplished.
What Xu's mother didn't expect was that a Cheng Yaojin would show up unexpectedly. Zhou Jin's initiative caused Xu's mother's plan to fail before it even began.
Originally, Xu's mother discussed with Xu Fugui and wanted to take revenge on Zhou Jin.
However, after some inquiries, Xu Fugui finally decided to pretend that this incident had never happened.
This has gone off topic. Today was the Lou family's family dinner, so after finishing her work, Xu's mother took today's pay and two lunch boxes and left.
Zhou Jin and his family started this delicious family dinner. Taking into consideration the presence of elderly people, women and children, Zhou Jin not only prepared special Moutai, but also red wine and soda.
I even brought a lot of fruits for after-meal.
Seeing that Zhou Jin was so well prepared, Lou Bancheng was very satisfied.
Zhou Jin poured white wine for Lou Bancheng, grandfather and himself, and red wine for grandmother, mother and Lou Xiao'e. As for He Yushui and Zhou Xin, they could only drink soda.
Lou Bancheng said, "Let's eat."
The whole family started to taste the food, and the conversation on the table gradually sounded. Everyone shared their recent interesting stories, and the laughter and conversation were intertwined, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
As night fell, most of the delicious food on the table had been eaten. He Yushui and Zhou Xin were full and went for a walk in the yard to digest their food.
At this time, Zhou Jin stood up and raised his glass to toast Lou Bancheng, then slowly sat down and placed the glass on the table.
"Uncle, Auntie, Xiao'e, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Lou Bancheng saw Zhou Jin's expression turn serious, so he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked slowly.
"Xiao Jin, we are all family. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Zhou Jin nodded and said.
"It's like this, Xiao'e and I's wedding is not too far away. Originally, I was planning to find a restaurant and invite some relatives and friends from both sides to have a meal together to celebrate for Xiao'e and me.
When the environment gets better, I will give Xiao'e a grand wedding, but I've been thinking about this recently and I feel that it's not appropriate to hold it in a hotel."
Hearing this, Lou Bancheng's face looked a little bad. Although the general environment has indeed changed for them capitalists, overall, there will be no problems.
Besides, how could Lou Bancheng marry his daughter off in secret? If this got out, where would his face be?
So Lou Bancheng asked coldly: "Then what are you going to do?"
Lou's mother also heard that Lou Bancheng was a little angry, so she hurried out to smooth things over.
"Xiao Jin likes Xiao E so much, he will definitely not treat Xiao E unfairly. Since you said so, there must be a reason. Tell me, what is it?"
Zhou Jin naturally knew why Lou Bancheng was angry. He glanced at Lou Xiaoe and made sure that she was not angry before he began to explain.
"Uncle, this is what I think.
Originally, you chose to marry Xiao'e to me because you noticed that the attitude of the higher-ups towards you capitalists had changed, and you hoped to use this to express your loyalty to the country and your trust in the government.
But think about it, if you own such a huge fortune, it's hard not to attract other people's attention.
If we hold a grand wedding in a hotel at this time, those people will definitely take action, and maybe even do something small behind the scenes!
Doesn't this go against your original intention of marrying Xiao'e to me?
Not only that, doing so will draw more attention to our home and may even cause us trouble.
In addition, I am now responsible for providing food to the steel rolling mill, and I also help the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office purchase some supplies.
Although on the surface Director Yang and Deputy Director Li are in charge, I am actually the one who is really in charge.
Once the people above notice me, it will be easy for them to find out the source of the food.
And you must be aware of the current situation outside. People are not getting enough food everywhere in the country. People are leaving their hometowns and going out to beg for food. Many people have starved to death.
At this time, if we go to a restaurant and hold a grand celebration, wouldn't it be tantamount to handing the evidence to others?
So considering the safety and future of both our families, I decided not to hold the wedding in a hotel, but directly at your home.
This is both low-key and inconspicuous, and can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
When the time comes, just invite your best relatives and friends to come over for a home-cooked meal.
But don't worry, I owe Xiao'e a wedding this time, and I will definitely make it up to her in the future, and I will definitely make her the happiest woman in the world."
After listening to Zhou Jin's analysis, Lou Bancheng's expression gradually improved.
At this time, grandpa spoke.
"Zhenhua, although my family background cannot be compared with yours, our current situation is similar. Xiaojin is right. Facing the reality that cannot be changed, we can only choose to keep a low profile as much as possible and not let those people notice us.
I have full confidence in this country and the government, and I believe all this is temporary and everything will be fine.”
Grandma: "Although I am a woman and don't know so many great principles, I only know one sentence, that is, a man who knows the times is a hero, and he should act accordingly. Now is not the time to be stubborn, and the safety of my family and myself is the most important."
Lou's mother: "Yes, Zhenhua, our current situation is special, so we can only let Xiao'e down for now."
Lou Xiaoe: "Dad, Mom, I don't feel wronged. With you, Brother Jin, and everyone else here, that's enough. The wedding is really not that important."
At this time, Lou Bancheng sighed deeply, looked at Zhou Jin with emotion and said, "Good boy! I really misunderstood you just now.
To be honest, I didn't think it was that far-reaching. I just thought that since I married my daughters to working-class men, they would be more confident in me.
But you are right, those who truly trust me will feel at ease no matter what I do; and those who have bad intentions towards me will keep a close eye on me no matter what I do.
Well, since you all agree, I have no reason to object. It's just..."
He changed the subject and looked at Zhou Jin seriously, "Don't forget, you still owe Xiao'e a grand wedding, you must make it up to her in the future."
Zhou Jin nodded quickly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely do what I say. When everything is settled, I will definitely give Xiao'e a wedding that she will never forget."
Lou Bancheng nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face.
At this time, everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Good!" The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, everyone began to drink and chat, laughter and cheers came one after another, it was very lively.
People are in high spirits when they are happy. Everyone got drunk today, so Zhou Jin and the others stayed at Lou's house tonight.
He is a big capitalist after all. He can accommodate so many people suddenly.
The next day, Zhou Jin and his friends had breakfast at Lou's house and then went home.
He Yushui plans to go see Sha Zhu today. After all, he is his brother, so he still has to go see him.
Zhou Jin was worried that He Yushui would be bullied by Sha Zhu, so she sent her grandparents home and took Zhou Xin and Yushui to the hospital.
After asking the doctor about Sha Zhu's ward, the three of them arrived at Sha Zhu's ward empty-handed.
Sha Zhu had already woken up by now, but his injuries this time were really severe. In addition, the internal injuries he had suffered from Zhou Jin before had not healed fully, which led to Sha Zhu's condition being so serious this time.
Fortunately, a nurse was hired to take care of his daily life, otherwise he would have starved to death in the hospital.
When Sha Zhu saw He Yu Shui coming in, he couldn't suppress his anger for a moment and started to vent his anger at Yu Shui.
"He Yushui, you are so heartless. I worked so hard to raise you, and now I've been beaten and seriously injured, and you actually came to see me after so many days.
Why don't you wait until I'm dead before you come? Do you think you don't take me seriously now that you have someone to back you up? I'm telling you, I'm your brother, your real brother."
At this time, Zhou Jin pushed open the door and came in.
He had just taken Xinxin to the toilet, so he let He Yushui go in first. He didn't expect that this idiot Zhu would start scolding him without saying a word.
He Yushui can tolerate it, but Zhou Jin can't. This Sha Zhu is a bastard. He doesn't know how to speak properly unless he is beaten.
So Zhou Jin didn't say anything and walked towards Sha Zhu with his fist as big as a sandbag.
Sha Zhu was really scared when he saw this scene. Even in his prime, he was no match for Zhou Jin, let alone now that he was injured.
Sha Zhu felt that if Zhou Jin really attacked him at this time, he could send him to see Yi Zhonghai with one punch, so his voice began to tremble.
