People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

I originally thought it was just a simple thank-you meal, but unexpectedly, it also involved the plot of finding a son-in-law.

Lin Yi is not a novice. From Wu Xiuying's roundabout tone and the shy look of Lou Xiao'e next to her, how could he not know what the Lou family is planning?

"Aunt Lou, you are being too polite. If any worker in the steel mill were to encounter this kind of situation, they would stand up. After all, people like Xu Damao are a minority. They are bad elements who have infiltrated the ranks of workers. The vast majority of workers are highly conscious and dare to fight against criminals."

To put it bluntly, at this stage, it would not be good to offend the Lou family, so Lin Yi could only say some clichés to get by.

Wu Xiuying and Lou Zhenhua looked at each other and immediately felt that this young man was not so easy to fool. If they wanted to make Lin Yi the son-in-law of the Lou family, they would have to put in a lot of effort.

As for Lou Xiao'e, I don't know if she was really naive or just pretending, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yi was sparkling, especially when Lin Yi was saying those words, it was as if Lin Yi's whole body was glowing, and even the chopsticks in her hand didn't move.

"Cough, cough."

Lou's mother coughed a few times quickly, which brought Lou Xiao'e back to her senses.

At the same time, as a woman, as a mother, and as an experienced person, Lou's mother naturally knew what her daughter Lou Xiao'e was thinking. She was completely attracted by the young man in front of her.

Wu Xiuying was also quite satisfied with Lin Yi.

With a height of nearly 180cm, he could be called a "tall man" or a "big guy" in that era. Moreover, his facial features were very regular. Although he was young, he looked less delicate and more dignified, which was very much in line with the aesthetic of the time.

The most crucial thing is that Lin Yi is young, too young. He is only sixteen years old, but he is already a cadre in the steel rolling mill, a level 22 administrative cadre position.

Although the people who come in and out of the Lou family are all senior cadres above level ten, what are the ages of those senior cadres, and what is the age of Lin Yi?

Of course, this only represents Lin Yi's potential. After all, a sixteen-year-old with a 22nd-level administrative cadre position is still relatively common in this era. Lin Yi has only been here for a few years, and there are many children from the big courtyards who have similar ranks to Lin Yi, unless they are really useless.

The most important thing is Lin Yi’s composition.

After national merit.

Lou Zhenhua had specially investigated this matter. In addition to verifying with Yang Aiguo, he also used his own connections to verify and confirmed that Lin Yi was truly the descendant of a hero.

In Lou Zhenhua's view, Lin Yi was simply a son-in-law sent by God for their Lou family.

After making achievements, it means that one has a good background, and there are no adults at home, which means there are no factions.

Marrying into the wife's family? Lou Zhenhua didn't dare to think about it.

But in Lin Yi's situation, if he married Lou Xiao'e, it would be no different from marrying into the wife's family.

As for the old lady Wu in the courtyard, Lou Zhenhua knew that she had no blood relationship with Lin Yi and was also a military martyr's family member. She had not been involved in affairs for many years and was the type who was enjoying her old age.

In Lou Zhenhua's opinion, as long as Lin Yi and Lou Xiao'e's marriage is successful, the Lou family can be said to have truly gained a foothold in the old city, and will be able to stand firm in the future ups and downs.

Lou Zhenhua believes that the influence of the five martyrs behind Lin Yi can achieve all this.

And the key lies in Lin Yi himself.

How to make Lin Yi give in is something Lou Zhenhua needs to find a way to solve.

However, for a moment, Lou Zhenhua didn’t have a better solution.

In front of Lin Yi, Lou Zhenhua carefully analyzed that the Lou family did not have any advantages.

The only advantage is the Lou family’s wealth.

But what the Lou family wants to protect is this wealth.

"Come, come, Lin Yi, you must drink this glass of wine."

Lou Zhenhua, who couldn't think of a better solution, could only resort to the most unpresentable method, which was to persuade people to drink.

Lin Yi declined many times because he didn't want to drink.

Before traveling through time, Lin Yi was addicted to cigarettes and alcohol, especially cigarettes, which he had a severe addiction to.

But after traveling through time, Lin Yi seldom touched cigarettes and alcohol, mainly because he didn't want to ruin his body.

For a modern person who has been suffering from sub-health for many years, when he suddenly travels to this era, in fact, the first feeling is the new body with vigorous vitality.

Therefore, Lin Yi takes good care of his new body.

If you can avoid staying up late, try not to do so; if you can avoid drinking, try not to drink; if you can avoid smoking, try not to smoke.

Usually, Lin Yi also pays attention to exercise.

But, as the saying goes, when you are in the world, you have no choice but to do what you want. Sometimes, it is really hard to refuse cigarettes and alcohol.

Cigarettes are easy to deal with. Just light them and don't smoke. At most you'll get a few puffs of second-hand smoke. But with this wine, you can tell at a glance whether it's in your stomach or not.

Fortunately, Lin Yi has a portable farm. Every time he wants to drink, Lin Yi will activate the storage function of the portable farm and send the wine into the warehouse.

After a few rounds of white wine, Lou Zhenhua's face was flushed with alcohol, but seeing Lin Yi's calm expression, he wondered if he had been fooled by a drunkard, or if the wine he drank was fake and mixed with water?

How come this young man Lin Yi doesn't look like he's drunk at all?

There was no way to continue testing Lin Yi's alcohol tolerance, so Lou Zhenhua had to temporarily stop urging Lin Yi to drink. After all, if Lin Yi continued to drink, Lou Zhenhua didn't know whether he would pass out or not, but Lou Zhenhua himself would definitely pass out.

Even so, Wu Xiuying rolled her eyes at Lou Zhenhua, who always boasted about his alcohol tolerance, but couldn't even drink as much as a young kid.

Wu Xiuying actually wanted to toast in person.

In the past, Wu Xiuying was also a heavy drinker, and she had drunk many people in the business world.

However, considering that this is Lin Yi's first time to the Lou family and the two sides are not that familiar with each other, Wu Xiuying can't act recklessly. If she scares Lin Yi away, it will really be a loss.

"Hey."

Wu Xiuying sighed in her heart, thinking that the father and daughter of the Lou family were both useless.

Lou Zhenhua can't drink as much as a young man, but his daughter has become infatuated with him and can only sneak glances at Lin Yi foolishly. I don't know where her usual fierceness has gone.

After dinner, the Lou couple could do nothing about Lin Yi's ability to remain calm. It was getting late, and Lin Yi wanted to go home. There was no way to keep him, so they asked Lou Xiao'e to see him off, wanting to give them a chance to be alone.

"Xiao'e, just send Lin Yi off. This is his first time here and he is not familiar with the road." Wu Xiuying pushed her daughter Lou Xiao'e, complaining in her heart that Lou Xiao'e had no vision.

"No need, Aunt Lou, I remember the way here, and it won't be safe for Sister Xiao'e to come back alone at night."

Lin Yi quickly declined. If he asked Lou Xiaoe to send him back, that would be terrible. At that time, it would be unreasonable for a woman to travel alone in the middle of the night, and she was a beautiful young woman at that.

"Then let the driver take you back, and then let the driver take Xiao'e back."
