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

Although Lou Xiao'e was still very embarrassed at this time, she looked at the little girl and expressed her attitude after listening to what she said.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she said softly: "Xinxin, thank you for your love. Sister also has a good impression of your brother."

After saying this, she shyly hid her head behind Lou's mother.

At this time, Zhou Jin gave Zhou Xin a thumbs up, secretly happy in his heart. Although this little girl exposed his shortcomings, she was the best assist. Now Lou Xiao'e directly expressed her opinion.

Later we can start discussing engagement and marriage. He had a satisfied smile on his face, thinking that things were going very smoothly.

Director Wang saw that everyone had said almost everything and the atmosphere was very good, so he started to speak.

"Xiao Jin, Xin Xin just mentioned that you carefully prepared a gift for Xiao E, why don't you take it out now?"

Zhou Jin quickly responded: "Oh, yes, I have prepared gifts for Xiao'e and uncle and aunt, please wait a moment.

"After saying that, he stood up, walked to the shelf nearby, picked up an exquisite jewelry box and walked back. Everyone's eyes were focused on the box, full of expectation.

Zhou Jin gently opened the jewelry box, and inside was the sapphire and pearl necklace.

It sparkles with charming light, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Jin carefully took out the necklace, gently placed it in front of Lou Xiao'e, and said, "Xiao'e, this is a gift for you, I hope you like it."

Then she took the jewelry box and walked up to Lou Xiao'e.

"Xiao'e, this is the jewelry my mother left behind. It was meant for her future daughter-in-law. Now I'm giving it to you. Are you willing to accept it?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the pearl necklace, then looked up at Zhou Jin and nodded.

"Yes, I do."

"Xiao'e, let me help you put it on, okay?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect Zhou Jin to be so direct and actually wanted to help her put on the necklace. She felt her face burning, but still nodded in agreement.

"Well, yes."

Then Zhou Jin carefully took out the pearl necklace from the jewelry box, walked behind Lou Xiao'e, placed the necklace in front of her chest, then held both ends of the necklace, passed it through her hair, and then put it on Lou Xiao'e.

At this time, everyone present had different thoughts. Director Wang definitely praised Zhou Jin for doing a good job, and Lou Bancheng thought that this young man was quite capable as he dared to put a necklace on his daughter in front of him. As for Lou Tan, the more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she was.

After Zhou Jin put the necklace on Lou Xiao'e, he returned to his seat. Then he took two bags from the shelf and handed them to Lou Bancheng and his wife with both hands.

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, I know you are very knowledgeable and you may not like ordinary things, but this is also a token of my appreciation.

These are cigarettes and wine for Uncle Lou, and this bag is foreign skin care products for Aunt Tan. These are my gifts to you, so please don’t despise them.”

"What are you talking about, kid? We like it so much, how can we dislike it? Xiao'e, quickly take out the gift you prepared."

"Okay, Dad." Lou Xiao'e no longer cared about being shy and quickly brought the bag next to the chair to the table.

"Zhou Jin, this is a gift I prepared for you. It's an air force jacket. Why don't you try it on to see if it fits you."

"Well, I always dreamed of having an Air Force jacket, but I was in the Army at the time and couldn't get one."

Because Zhou Jin was only wearing a white shirt, he took the jacket and put it on directly. You can see it fits him well. Zhou Jin was very satisfied. Then he took off the jacket, folded it and put it in the bag.

"Thank you, this jacket fits me perfectly."

"Xinxin, I'm sorry, we didn't know you were here before, so we didn't prepare a gift for you. I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative and let you choose a gift yourself, okay?"

"Okay, Sister Xiao'e, then I want to eat a lot of delicious food."

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

At this time, the waiter brought up the sliced ​​roast duck and duck bone soup.

Zhou Jin then remembered that everyone was busy talking and giving gifts when they came in, and hadn't even ordered any food, so he quickly handed the menu to Lou Bancheng and Aunt Wang.

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Wang, we've been talking for so long that we forgot to order other dishes. You guys can order some."

Lou Bancheng and Director Wang did not refuse and each ordered a few dishes.

Then everyone started eating and chatting while eating.

Zhou Jin has been rolling roast duck slices for Zhou Xin and Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e has gradually adapted to the routine and is no longer as reserved and shy as she was when she first arrived.

Then she began to tell Zhou Jin about the interesting things that happened to her when she was in school, and Zhou Jin also shared with her about his time as a soldier.

The three elders listened quietly, exchanging glances from time to time. Only Zhou Xin didn't care what others were talking about at this time and just kept eating roast duck.

Although their family's life is already very good, my brother doesn't eat meat and fish all day long in order to avoid attracting other people's attention. Now there are so many delicious foods on the table, and they are almost the same as what my brother makes, so I can't stop at all.

Everyone finished their meal amidst laughter and joy, and then Director Wang spoke up.

"Xiao'e, Xiaojin, I see you are having such a good time chatting, I believe you should be very satisfied with each other. Now that the atmosphere has come to this point, why don't we take this opportunity to finalize your marriage, Mr. Lou, what do you think?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard that her marriage was going to be settled, she looked at her father shyly, then nodded without saying anything.

Zhou Jin knew that Aunt Wang wanted him and Lou Xiao'e to settle their marriage as soon as possible to avoid any complications, so he spoke up immediately.

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, I really like Xiao'e. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiao'e well and never let her suffer any grievances. When the environment gets better in the future, we will definitely live together. I will honor you two together with Xiao'e."

When Lou Bancheng heard Zhou Jin's statement and saw his daughter's face full of expectation, he had already made up his mind.

"Okay, although this is the first time Xiao'e and Xiao Jin have met, I can see that they are a perfect match. I also believe that Xiao Jin will take good care of Xiao'e. We are very relieved to hand Xiao'e over to you, so let's set the date today."

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, Xiao'e, I originally planned to find a date to get engaged first, and then slowly prepare for the wedding, but everyone knows the current situation, so we can't have a grand ceremony.

So I want to schedule the wedding on October 3rd, after the National Day, at a hotel. When the situation gets better, I will give Xiao'e a perfect wedding. What do you think?"

Lou Xiao'e had no objection. She was now completely infatuated with Zhou Jin, who was tall, handsome, capable, caring, humorous and interesting. She could talk to him in many ways.

After listening to Zhou Jin's words, Lou Bancheng thought silently for a while and felt that Zhou Jin was right. There was a shortage of food everywhere now, so it was impossible to hold a grand celebration. Moreover, given their family background, they could only keep a low profile and try to minimize the attention from above.

"Okay, Xiaojin, that's fine. Let's set it for October 3rd. As for the choice of hotel, we'll see later."

"Okay, Uncle Lou, just set the time. As for the rest, we can discuss it slowly. Although this wedding is relatively simple, I will definitely not be perfunctory. I will definitely let Xiao'e marry me in a grand manner."

"Okay, I believe you. There's still some time before the wedding. Come and visit Xiao'e when you have time. I'll give you the address in a moment."

"Okay, Uncle Lou, I will."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved and it was almost time, Director Wang spoke.

"I, the matchmaker, have completed my mission perfectly today. I wish you a happy marriage and a long-lasting happiness together."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e expressed their gratitude together.

"I think everyone has almost finished eating, and everything that needs to be decided has been decided, so let's go."

"Okay, you guys go down first, I'll go settle the bill."

Zhou Jin hurried out to pay the bill.

When Zhou Jin finished paying the bill, everyone was waiting for him at the door, and the Lou family's car was already parked at the door.

At this time, Lou Bancheng spoke.

"Xiao Jin, you are now the son-in-law chosen by my Lou family. You must prepare well and not let my daughter suffer any injustice."

"Uncle Lou, don't worry, I promise Xiao'e's future will only be sweeter."

"Okay, I believe you, we'll go first, don't forget to come find Xiao'e when you have time."

"Okay, Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, Xiao'e, goodbye."

At this time, the driver had already gotten out of the car and opened the door. The three members of the Lou family got directly into the car, and Lou Xiao'e waved to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin also raised his hand in response, and then the car drove towards the Lou family mansion.

After the three people from the Lou family left, Director Wang and Zhou Jin also got on their bicycles and prepared to go home. Since there was a section of the road that was on their way, the three of them chatted as they walked.

Zhou Jin spoke first.

"Auntie Wang, thank you so much this time. This has solved a major issue in my life. I will go home and prepare a big gift and find time to come and thank you."

"Hahaha, you little rascal, you already call me aunt, how can I not help you wholeheartedly? But you are quite capable, you have charmed Miss Lou so much that she can't even tell which way to go."

"Hehe." Zhou Jin smiled a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Wang, it's not that I'm awesome, I really like Xiao'e, and this is all because of love."

"Okay, you're right. Xiao'e is indeed a good girl because of love. You two are a perfect match. But I have to tell you one more thing. Her family background will definitely affect your future development. You must think this through."

"Aunt Wang, I know that I like her. As for the rest, I will face and solve it with her. Besides, I don't have any ambition to climb up the social ladder. It's fine now."

"I really didn't make a mistake. Now that you have made up your mind, live your life well."

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I can definitely do it."

The two bicycles came to a fork in the road, then separated and went back to their respective homes.

At this time, Zhou Xin asked Zhou Jin.

"Brother, how did I perform today?"

"Hahaha, our Xinxin performed very well today and helped her brother a lot."

"Brother, can I have two more White Rabbit candies today?"

"Of course, I'll cook you another big meal tonight. But, Xinxin, did you really hear me talking in my sleep and calling Xiao'e's name?"

"Hey, I don't get up in the middle of the night, how would I know if you talked in your sleep? I said this just to help you."

"Well, little girl, tell me, where did you learn all this?"

"I learned it from comic books. How about it? Does it work?"

"Of course it works. Tell me which picture book it is later. I want to use it to fuel the fire."

"what!!!!"
