Hongwei only found out after dinner that his marriage had been arranged.

Not only do I feel a little regretful - my behavior today was a bit reckless.

Even though he knew that the most important thing for coming here was to discuss marriage, he still invited us to dinner outside.

However, Jiang Xiaolong's hospitality was beyond his expectations.

He really should have rekindled his relationship with his friends in the compound after his marriage was settled.

I hope I still have time to make up for it - to leave a good impression in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In the afternoon, accompanied by his third aunt Lu Yuzhu, Hongwei drove to the county and booked a private room in the most luxurious restaurant, with a total of two tables.

Then, accompanied by his parents, he personally visited the Liu family and invited them to dinner in the evening.

Team leader Liu and teacher Lin Hui happily agreed.

The original two tables were not large enough, so we invited Captain Jiang's family and Deputy Captain Heng's family, making a total of two tables.

The military wives of both families work as managers in Lu Yuzhu's clothing store, and this is a good opportunity for them to communicate with each other.

Captain Liu and his wife had watched Red Guards many years ago. Now they saw that the young man was steady, handsome, and had seen a lot of the world.

I think it's worth handing my daughter over to him.

The Zhou family stayed in the guesthouse for three days and then hurried back to the provincial capital.

Considering Hongwei's old age, Xiaorou can delay it a little longer.

If Hongwei continues to delay, he will be almost 30 years old.

We have to buy the wedding house first to reassure the girl's parents before we can talk about getting married.

Their Zhouzhuang construction team participated in many provincial capital construction projects. Zhou Jianming and Hongwei and his son toured the prosperous places together.

After selecting a few properties, Lu Yuzhu was invited to take a look.

Considering the future development prospects, Lu Yuzhu designated two of the properties for him.

One place is close to a kindergarten and a primary school, it is a double school district house, and it has convenient transportation and will appreciate quickly in the future.

Although people did not feel the importance of school district housing at that time, with the advice from their third aunt, it would indeed be more convenient for their children to go to school in the future.

Both father and son approved.

The other place is close to where Xiaorou works. This place will be demolished in the future, but Yuzhu cannot say it clearly.

I only asked Hongwei, "Xiaorou works at a research institute. If she's busy, she'll definitely be late getting off work. Buying a house nearby will make it more convenient for her to commute.

But the specific decision is up to you guys to make, I think it would be best to ask Xiaorou for her opinion, after all, this will be your new home from now on."

Zhou Hongwei, "Dad, Third Aunt, I want to buy this place. From decorating the wedding room to getting married, it will take at least a year.

It will take at least five years from the time we get married and have children, to the time the children go to kindergarten.

I hope Xiaorou can have a relaxing time in these five years, so I want to buy a house here.

As for the school district apartment that Aunt San mentioned, that's something we'll have to consider five years from now. By then, we can buy a small apartment there just to pick up the kids. We can come back here during summer vacation.

I have enough money in my pocket."

Zhou Jianming laughed and scolded, "You're already protecting your wife before you even get married. It's a good thing your mother isn't here, otherwise her old ways would come out again.

Your marriage is a big deal, and there's no way our parents wouldn't pay for it. I'll ask your mom to transfer the money to you later."

Hongwei, "Dad, I really don't need it."

His current annual salary is more than his father's. The wages of brothers Zhou Jianming and Zhou Jianping have increased from more than 20 yuan to just over yuan.

But it is still not as high as Hongwei’s 28, and Hongwei’s price will increase in the future.

Lu Yuzhu said, "Hongwei, don't refuse. This is your parents' wish. They want you to marry and have children. This is their responsibility.

Otherwise, what is your father doing with all the money he's earned these years? It's for your wedding expenses."

Hong Wei finally gave up, "Thank you, Dad, but I still need to ask Xiaorou before deciding to buy a house. I have to respect her."

Seeing his son driving away with a happy smile on his face, Zhou Jianming let out a sigh of relief.

"Third sister-in-law, thank you so much. Without your help and your matchmaking, Hongwei would definitely not be able to marry Xiaorou."

Boss Zhou is self-aware.

He has been in the provincial capital for so many years. It is hard to imagine that a highly educated and elite beauty like Xiaorou, who has such a prominent family background, would marry Hongwei, a high school student.

At least he hadn't heard of it.

Lu Yuzhu, "Brother, don't say that. Our Red Guards are not bad either. Jianguo and I are very happy that I can help this child."

Zhou Jianming's mind was as clear as a mirror.

If it weren't for Lu Yuzhu's encouragement, Hongwei would have had no goals at all, and would not have made such great strides in just a few years.

All this is because my third brother’s wife is capable and willing to give Hongwei a chance.

So after this marriage was arranged, Zhou Jianming also hinted to Hongwei that he and his wife should get closer to Lu Yuzhu and her husband.

As for him and his parents-in-law Li Guihua, they will definitely have to take care of Xiao Hongfeng in the future, as one of their two sons will always have to rely on them.

That night, Zhou Jianming went home for dinner and felt a headache watching Li Guihua lingering around Xiao Liubao.

"The child has to do homework at night. Isn't it annoying for you to keep following her? You can't help her with her homework, so don't bother her all the time."

Li Guihua, "I was making my child a glass of milk and peeling an orange or two. Did you hear me? No, I didn't say a word the whole time. How did I disturb her studies?"

Zhou Jianming sneered, "Come on, you just turn left, turn right, it won't affect the child's attention, right?

It's because Liubao is young and ignorant that he lets you fool him. If it were his older brothers or sisters, they would have scolded you long ago."

Li Guihua said dejectedly, "Can you say something good? I get along very well with all six of them, and so far not one of them has disliked me.

It's you, no matter how you look at me, you don't like me."

Zhou Jianming, "Then sit down and relax. I want to talk to you about serious matters today."

Li Guihua quickly sat down, "Is it about bringing your wife?"

Zhou Jianming nodded, "That's right! Hongwei has decided to buy their wedding house. I have over 100 million yuan deposited with you.

Transfer 50 yuan to Hongwei tomorrow so he can buy a house."

Li Guihua stretched out her hand in surprise and shook it left and right. "50? Are you kidding me? Even if a house in the provincial capital is expensive, it won't cost 50.

Besides, we already have a place to live here, so why waste that money? Let Xiaorou move here and we’ll kill two birds with one stone and save money! "

Zhou Jianming slapped the bed, his face growing colder, "How dare you say that? The house we live in now was bought by my third brother's wife.

It’s okay to just stay here normally, but now that my son is getting married, I can’t take advantage of him anymore.

Besides, my third brother and his wife have earned a lot of money with us, so it’s time for Hongwei to start his own business.”

Li Guihua's face was full of displeasure. "Just move them out and buy them a small apartment. We'll give them 15, which is more than enough."

Zhou Jianming, "I said 50, that's 50! In addition to buying a house, the child also needs to renovate it and decorate the wedding room.

As parents, shouldn't we help out?"
