Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Director Wang didn't expect that Lou Bancheng was so anxious. He came here just after he got to work.

"Mr. Lou, I didn't expect you to come here so soon?" Director Wang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Director Wang wants to talk to me about something, so I have to come early. But I'm curious, what is Director Wang talking to me about?" Lou Bancheng asked curiously.

"Boss Lou, I won't beat around the bush. I heard that you've been busy looking for a date for your daughter recently. It just so happens that a junior here has taken a liking to your daughter and came to me today, wanting me to help him find a match.

I was thinking of going to the house to propose marriage in person when I am not busy in a few days, but as a junior, I am a little anxious and I really don’t have time these days, so I had no choice but to let Director Lou go in person. I am really sorry. "Director Wang explained with a smile.

"Hey, Director Wang, what do you have to be sorry about? I didn't have much to do anyway, and you've really helped me a lot.

I won't hide it from you. I'm really busy with Xiao'e's marriage, but I don't know where to find the right person. Now that you have the right person, it couldn't be better." Lou Bancheng asked excitedly.

"Alas, parents all over the world are concerned about their children."

"Yes, yes, I am also preparing in advance. I believe that the person Director Wang introduced must be a young talent who is definitely a good match for Xiao'e."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lou, you are right. He is indeed a young talent. Let me introduce him to you.

His name is Zhou Jin, he is 21 years old this year, and he currently lives in the backyard of No. 95 Siheyuan, with three private rooms. His father is Zhou Weiguo, who used to be the security officer of the steel mill, but later died in the line of duty. Mr. Lou should know him. "

"Yes, I know. I was still working at the steel mill at the time, and I was responsible for handling the compensation for his death. I didn't expect that it turned out to be his child."

"Yes, not long after Zhou Weiguo's death, his mother Li Xiuli also died of illness. Later, with the help of the street office, Zhou Jin took care of his parents' funeral affairs, then he sold his parents' work qualifications and directly joined the army.

Because of his bravery in fighting on the southwestern battlefield, he was awarded two third-class individual merits, one second-class individual merit and two second-class group merits, and was directly promoted to deputy company commander.

Later, he was discharged from the army due to injury and returned to Sijiucheng, where he joined the purchasing department of a steel rolling mill as deputy section chief. However, his health has recovered now and there is absolutely no problem with him.

Oh, by the way, some time ago he helped the steel mill purchase a large batch of grain, and now he has been promoted to the rank of section chief.

These are his basic information. He told me that he met Xiao'e by chance at the steel rolling mill. Later, he inquired for a long time before he found out Xiao'e's name. Then he came to the street office specifically to ask me for matchmaking help.

When I heard the girl's name was Lou Xiao'e and I happened to see her at the steel rolling mill, my first reaction was that she was your daughter.

I'm not bragging about my nephew, he's 1.8 meters tall, handsome, and has an outstanding temperament. He and Xiao'e are definitely a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. "

After listening to Director Wang's introduction, Lou Bancheng was very satisfied with Zhou Jin. First of all, he fell in love with his daughter at first sight, and he took action immediately after knowing her name, which shows that he really likes Xiao'e and is decisive.

In addition, with Director Wang endorsing him, there must be no problem with his character. Even if Director Wang helped him lie, he would know everything by just going to the steel mill and asking.

Aren’t Zhou Jin’s qualifications to be the best son-in-law? He is a veteran, has made meritorious services, and is also a martyr’s relative. This background is much better than that of the working class.

He is also a deputy section chief, which is a cadre position. He is capable and has prospects. Even if Xiao'e marries him, she will not suffer.

The more Lou Bancheng thought about it, the more satisfied he became. However, after all, he had been in the business world for decades, and there was no fluctuation on his face.

"Director Wang, after listening to your introduction, I am very satisfied with Zhou Jin. Do you think we can set a time for a meeting?"

"Okay, today is Friday, so let's meet at Quanjude the day after tomorrow, Sunday. How about that?"

"No problem, it's settled. We'll meet at Quanjude on Sunday at noon."

"Okay, I'll go inform Zhou Jin when I get off work."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, Mr. Lou, goodbye."

After leaving the subdistrict office, Lou Bancheng finally couldn't suppress the smile on his face and laughed happily while sitting in the car.

Although the driver didn't know what happened to his boss in there, he hadn't seen him smile like that for a long time, so it must be something good.

After laughing, Lou Bancheng asked the driver to drive home. He wanted to go home quickly to tell his wife and daughter the good news.

Ten minutes later, Lou Bancheng returned to the Lou family mansion with brisk steps. His face was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to call his wife and daughter to the study to talk.

Lou Bancheng sat at the desk, his eyes sparkling with joy, and told them in detail what he had just experienced.

After listening to her husband's story, Lou Tan also showed joy on her face.

As the mistress of the Lou family, she was naturally well aware of the situation at home, and had been worried about her daughter's marriage recently.

Now, hearing this sudden good news, her mood instantly became happy.

However, for Lou Xiao'e, when she learned that she was about to go on a blind date, she felt extremely complicated.

Although her father described the other party so well, her heart was still full of unknowns and uneasiness.

After all, marriage is a matter that affects her lifelong happiness, so she needs to consider it carefully.

Therefore, Lou Xiao'e just blushed shyly and listened silently to her parents' conversation without expressing her opinions too much.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e does not want to get married too early. She is eager to continue her studies and pursue a higher level of knowledge. It would be great if she could get into university!

But she knew very well that her identity as a capitalist prevented her from realizing this dream.

In addition, from the occasional words her parents revealed, she also realized the difficult situation her family was currently in and understood that she had to obey her parents' arrangements.

Faced with the helpless reality, Lou Xiao'e could only silently accept the arrangement of fate.

But she still hopes that her future husband will be someone she likes, otherwise she dare not imagine what the future life will be like.

After Lou Bancheng had explained everything clearly, he asked Lou Tan to give orders to have an extra meal in the evening. Today was a day that deserved a small celebration.

On the other hand, after get off work, Director Wang went to Courtyard No. 95, found Zhou Jin, told Zhou Jin the agreed time, and asked him to be prepared.

This was a big surprise for Zhou Jin. After all, Director Wang had just said in the morning that she would go to the Lou family in person to propose matchmaking the day after tomorrow, but in the evening she was informed that an appointment had been made and that they would go on a blind date on Sunday.

This made Zhou Jin feel like he was hit on the head with a pleasant surprise. He agreed immediately and then invited Director Wang to have dinner at his home. However, Director Wang declined because he had to go home to take care of his grandson.

Zhou Jin didn't insist any more. After all, he could just give Director Wang a big red envelope after the matter was settled.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and everyone falls asleep quietly.

Zhou Jin woke up early the next morning. He was very excited but a little overwhelmed. Tomorrow was the day of his blind date with Lou Xiao'e, but he had no idea what to give her.

After all, he had never experienced blind dates in this era, and he had no elders to help him, so he didn't know many of the rules. Thinking of this, Zhou Jin suddenly thought of his mother.

Before she died, she left herself a jewelry box, saying it was for her future daughter-in-law. Zhou Jin left in such a hurry that these things were thrown directly into the space.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin consciously entered the space, and then found the jewelry box in the warehouse. The box alone was made of rosewood, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money. It seemed that his mother should be a lady from a wealthy family.

Zhou Jin opened the jewelry box, inside was a pair of jade bracelets. At first glance, Zhou Jin knew that this was a pair of emerald jade bracelets. The bright green was so beautiful.

There was also a ring inlaid with a ruby, a pearl necklace with a sapphire, and a pair of pearl earrings. Zhou Jin really didn't expect that his mother would leave behind so many good things.

If I hadn't remembered this jewelry box because of the blind date, it would probably have been gathering dust in the space, and I would have let my mother down.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jin decided to wear the necklace for the first meeting. The earrings didn't seem important enough, and the ring and bracelet were more suitable for the wedding.

After preparing the most important gift, Zhou Jin took out two bottles of special Moutai, two packs of special cigarettes, and two sets of foreign skin care products from the space. Because they were going to a hotel to meet, Zhou Jin didn't plan to bring too many things, so these were just right.

After preparing the gifts, Zhou Jin looked at his clothes in the mirror again, and then took Zhou Xin out to get a haircut and buy clothes. It was their first meeting, so they had to look their best.

Zhou Jin bought himself a white shirt and a pair of leather shoes, which were the most fashionable outfits of this era. He also bought a floral dress and a pair of small leather shoes for the little girl.

When Zhou Xin put on this outfit, she looked like a complete doll. Zhou Jin couldn't help but pinch the little girl's face.

After buying clothes, Zhou Jin took Zhou Xin home and had to clean up the house later.

Although the house has always been relatively clean and tidy, it is still a bit messy after living there for so long. After the two siblings returned home, they started working after lunch.

Before dinner, they finally finished cleaning up. Both siblings were a little tired, and the weather was hot, so Zhou Jin planned to make some cold noodles for the little girl later to let her experience Sichuan snacks.

When they were almost done resting, Zhou Jin asked Zhou Xin to take a shower first, and then he went to the kitchen to cook.

By the time Zhou Xin finished her shower and came out, Zhou Jin had already brought two bowls of cold noodles to the table.

Zhou Xin had never eaten cold noodles before and was very curious, so she couldn't wait to eat it with chopsticks.

Because Zhou Jin always added chili peppers to his cooking, Zhou Xin gradually got used to it over time.

When she finished a mouthful of cold noodles, the feeling she had never experienced before instantly made her eyes light up. It was so delicious, sour and spicy, very tasty. Zhou Xin finished the bowl of cold noodles in a short while.

Fortunately, Zhou Jin made some extra, fearing that there would not be enough, so the two of them finally had their fill.

The day before the official blind date, Zhou Jin and his sister spent the whole day busy. Now lying in bed, both of them are very excited.

Just like this, the moon slowly rises and sets, and the sun gradually rises in the east.
