"You little guy, do you know what handsome is? Handsome, you should call it cool!" Zhou Tian happily tapped Zhou Hao on the head and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, brother, if you hit my head again, be careful or I'll tell my sister-in-law about you!" Zhou Hao covered his head and glared at his brother with dissatisfaction.

"I let you sue!" Zhou Tian said, and pretended to raise his hand to shoot. Zhou Hao smiled and hurriedly ran out of the room.

After watching Zhou Hao leave, he shook his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and encouraged himself.

"Come on, Zhou Tian, ​​you must be the best!"

"Grandson, are you ready? Your Aunt Li is here. Is it time to go to the Shen family?" Grandma suddenly shouted loudly in the yard.

"I know, grandma, I'll be there right away!" After saying that, Zhou Tian opened the door and walked out. Sure enough, he saw Aunt Li in the yard wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, with a happy face, congratulating grandpa and grandma.

Seeing Zhou Tian coming out, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Xiao Tian is not bad, you are dressed very neatly today!"

"Excuse me, Aunt Li. Shall we set off now?"

"It's getting late, we should set off. What do you think, sister? How about we walk?" Aunt Li looked at the sky, turned to grandma and asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's go, grandson, let's go!" Grandma said, calling her grandson, and the three of them walked out. After leaving home, the three of them talked and laughed along the way. Grandma was wearing a maroon cotton jacket, which made her look particularly festive.

The Shen family was not far from the Zhou family, and it took less than half an hour to walk there. At this time, Shen Jie had already been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and many neighbors of the courtyard had gathered around.

"Brother Shen, I heard that the Zhou family is coming to get engaged to Yulin today. Is that true?" A middle-aged man in his forties asked Shen Jie at the door while smoking.

"Yeah!" Shen Jie glanced at the middle-aged man, without saying much, just nodded silently.

"Brother Shen, it would be great if Yulin married my son. Why did she have to marry someone else? You see, my son is a regular employee of the soy sauce factory this year, and he was promoted to team leader. His monthly salary is 450,000. If Yulin married me, wouldn't she be living a luxurious life?"

The middle-aged man said, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. You know, when the girl from the Shen family was fifteen years old, he had set his sights on the Shen family and wanted to become relatives with the Shen family, but who would have thought that Shen Jie was unwilling, and the girl from the Shen family was also unwilling, which made him very angry at the time.

Now that the girl from the Shen family is about to get engaged, he naturally wants to cause some trouble for the Shen family.

"Come on, Lao Zhang, how can your kid compare with Master Zhou Tian? Who is he? And who is your kid? He is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

A middle-aged man in a steel mill uniform flashed a trace of disdain in his eyes. He had long been fed up with Lao Zhang. A neighbor in a courtyard always looked arrogant. People who didn't know him would think that Lao Zhang was the owner of the courtyard.

"Li Baoguo, what did you say?" Old Zhang was obviously angered by the middle-aged man's words. He pointed at Li Baoguo and said angrily.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? You don't even look at your son's behavior, and you really think he's a good guy? What? Are you dissatisfied? Come, let's practice!"

Li Baoguo looked at Lao Zhang pointing at him with more and more contempt. He spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, waved his arms and spoke.

"You! You... you are a common man. I am a gentleman. I won't bother with you, hum!" Old Zhang looked at Li Baoguo's arms, which were particularly strong due to years of benchwork, and then looked at his own body. He obviously chose to retreat. After that, he snorted coldly and turned to walk into the courtyard.

"A coward, he really thinks he's an important person? Pah!" Looking at Lao Zhang's back, Li Baoguo spat, his eyes full of contempt.

"Okay, Lao Li, say less. Lao Zhang has already given in!" Several neighbors nearby watched Lao Zhang being scolded by Li Baoguo. Although they felt happy in their hearts, they still advised him against it.

"Yes! Today is a big wedding day for Mr. Shen's family. As Mr. Shen's neighbors, we can't be impolite!" A middle-aged man with a bookish air also said.

"Look, isn't that Matchmaker Li?" At this moment, a person suddenly shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Looking towards the entrance of the alley, they saw three figures slowly walking towards them from afar.

"Here she comes. Sure enough, it's Matchmaker Li!"

When the three people came closer, they turned out to be Matchmaker Li, Zhou Tian and Zhou Tian's grandmother.

"Are you Zhou Tian?"

Seeing the three people getting closer, Shen Jie couldn't help but stand up and go to greet them. He saw the young man walking next to Matchmaker Li and asked.

"Yes, uncle!" Zhou Tian had actually seen Shen Jie during the time when he sent Shen Yulin home, but he only glanced at him from a distance at that time. But now that he had actually seen him, he could vaguely see the shadow of Shen Yulin in Shen Jie's face, so he quickly recognized Shen Jie's identity.

Shen Jie did not speak, but looked Zhou Tian up and down carefully, until Zhou Tian was somewhat afraid to look up, then he smiled and said: "Good, good, not bad, you are indeed worthy of being the person my girl values, you are indeed a handsome man. I guess this is Zhou Tian's grandmother, hello, my name is Shen Jie, I am Shen Yulin's father!"

As the two people introduced themselves to each other, I listened to the discussions of a group of neighbors behind me.

"Oh, look at me, let's go inside and talk!"

Shen Jie slapped his forehead and then remembered that they were still outside, so he warmly greeted the three of them and walked towards home.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Tian saw many people gathered around him, pointing and talking in low voices. Although he couldn't hear the specific content of the voices, he could guess what they were saying. However, he still smiled at the neighbors who were pointing at them all the way, and followed his grandmother and the others towards the Shen family.

The Shen family has two back rooms in the backyard of the quadrangle courtyard. The total area of ​​the house is more than 40 square meters. Although the area is not large, it is divided into three rooms. One is Shen Yulin's bedroom, one is the living room, and the other is the residence of Shen Jie and his wife.

"Yuling, someone from the Zhou family is coming!" Shen Jie shouted into the house as soon as he entered the backyard.

"coming!"

"Hey, Sister Li, you are here, old lady, come in and sit down! And Xiaotian, Yulin is still in the room, go find her yourself!"

Li Yuling said as she walked out of the house. Seeing Matchmaker Li and Grandma, she immediately came up to greet them warmly. As for Zhou Tian, ​​Li Yuling did not greet him. After all, the two families were about to become one family, so she was more relaxed, especially when she knew that Zhou Tian had agreed to their conditions. It can be said that Li Yuling now regarded Zhou Tian as their son.

Zhou Tian felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help touching his nose. He glanced at Shen Jie, who had a strange look on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Boss, go to the market and buy some meat. We'll have a good meal today! Go quickly, why are you standing there like an idiot?" Perhaps seeing Zhou Tian's embarrassment, Li Yuling glared at him and ordered Shen's father to go out.

Only after watching Mr. Shen leave with a sullen face did he smile at Li Yuling and Grandma, then ran into Shen Yulin's room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shen Yulin sitting down and standing up beside the bed, looking like he wanted to go out but didn't dare to, and he looked extremely conflicted.

"Yulin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Shen Yulin's expression, Zhou Tian couldn't help but chuckle and asked deliberately.

When Shen Yulin heard Zhou Tian's question, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Brother Zhou, what do you think?" As she spoke, she looked so charming that Zhou Tian almost stared at her in a daze.
