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

When everyone saw Director Wang leave, they also took their stools and went home.

Zhou Jin also took Zhou Xin home to sleep.

The matter of the deaf old lady is now completely over.

This afternoon, the court and the public security bureau have begun to deal with the incident about the deaf old lady that has been circulating in society.

They directly announced to the public that the deaf old lady had been sentenced to death for murder more than ten years ago and would be executed immediately.

Yes, although the court did not have conclusive physical evidence to prove whether the deaf old lady had really killed the maid, they firmly believed it deep in their hearts.

After all, there is no physical evidence, but there are witnesses.

At the same time, the use of this crime can also become a means of covering up mistakes made by government workers.

Of course, the people who were responsible for processing the five-guarantee status for the deaf old lady were also punished to varying degrees.

As for why we chose to tell everyone the truth in the courtyard, the main reason is that everyone has lived here for a long time and knows each other very well.

The government is also unable to determine whether there are other people who know what the deaf old lady did. If these circumstances are deliberately concealed and exposed by one of them, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, it would be better to tell everyone the truth directly and then sternly warn them not to spread it.

Doing so can avoid unnecessary trouble and ensure the confidentiality of information.

However, these are not things Zhou Jin needs to consider. The only thing he needs to do now is to marry Lou Xiao'e home, have a bunch of children, and expand his family.

Oh, it seems there is one more thing to do. Zhou Jin has to find time to explain it clearly to Uncle Pan and Aunt Liu before making a decision.

Zhou Jin doesn't want to lose these two relatives because of misunderstanding. Even if they need to be separated due to practical circumstances, he has to make things clear.

So Zhou Jin planned to go find them tomorrow. Anyway, Zhou Jin had no plans to go to the countryside during this period of time. The situation outside was becoming more and more serious, and there might be someone with bad intentions.

Zhou Jin was about to marry the beauty, but he didn't want to take the risk. Besides, it was really difficult to buy things in the countryside right now.

Tuesday soon arrived. Zhou Jin didn't know whether Uncle Pan was at work today, so he decided to go to the steel mill first.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jin's luck was not very good. Uncle Pan was on night shift yesterday, so he was resting at home today. Zhou Jin had no choice but to go to Uncle Pan's house again.

"Xiao Jin, why are you here?" The person who opened the door was Aunt Zhang, Uncle Pan's wife. Seeing Zhou Jin standing at the door, she asked in surprise.

"Aunt, I came to see Uncle Pan for something." Zhou Jin replied with a smile.

"Come in, your Uncle Pan is sleeping." Aunt Zhang moved aside to let Zhou Jin enter the room.

Zhou Jin walked into the living room and sat on the sofa waiting for Uncle Pan to wake up. After a while, Uncle Pan came out of the room and smiled when he saw Zhou Jin: "Xiao Jin, you are here."

"Uncle Pan, I came here to talk to you about something." Zhou Jin stood up and said.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Pan walked over to Zhou Jin and sat down, looking at him and asked.

"Uncle Pan, you know that Xiao'e and I had a successful blind date. We are getting married next month, and this Sunday is the day to go to Lou's house to get the engagement.

I should have invited you and Aunt Liu, you are the few relatives I have in this world, but for some reasons, I may not be able to let you go with me to get married, or even invite you to the wedding banquet." Zhou Jin said with his head down.

"Why? Xiao Jin, I know you are not the kind of person who would forget his principles for the sake of profit. There must be a reason why you did this." Uncle Pan asked with a frown.

"Uncle Pan, Aunt Zhang, it's like this. You all know Lou Xiao'e's family. Her father, Lou Bancheng, is a well-known capitalist in Beijing.

Although they are now called red capitalists, red capitalists are still capitalists. The country will definitely not tolerate them. It is estimated that in a few years, they will take action against them.

At that time, I will most likely have no choice but to follow them out of the city and hide in a safe place, and then come back after the situation in the country stabilizes.

You should know that when we leave, it will not be a fair and honest departure. Someone will definitely come to investigate the people around us. I don't want to implicate you, so I can only cut off ties with you in advance.

Therefore, I cannot invite you to the engagement and wedding this time, and I will not be able to come in person to deliver your food every month. I will ask someone to contact you.

By the way, Uncle Pan, after my wedding is over, you should use the excuse that I didn’t invite you to the soul-binding ceremony to sever ties with me, and try to let everyone around you know about it.”

Uncle Pan interrupted Zhou Jin before he could finish his words.

"Xiao Jin, what are you talking about? Your father and I are good brothers, so he is your uncle. How could he do such a thing? Even if I go down, I won't be able to face your father and mother."

"Yes, Xiaojin, we can't do such a thing." Aunt Zhang also agreed.

To be honest, Zhou Jin was really moved when he heard these words, but being moved could not solve any problems, so Zhou Jin hurriedly explained.

"Uncle Pan, Aunt Zhang, I know you are good to me, but you also have to think about the children at home. What should they do if you are implicated because of me?

If I knew, do you think I would feel good?

Besides, I am not leaving Sijiu City right now, nor am I never coming back. We will have a chance to meet again. You should take good care of your health and wait for me to return home in glory."

When Uncle Pan heard this, he sighed helplessly.

"Hey, kid, why did you choose such a family? If you do this, won't your bright future be ruined? When you come back, there won't be a place for you.

But don't worry, as long as I'm still in this position, I will definitely find a job for you."

"Hahaha, Uncle Pan, there's really nothing I can do about it. I just like Xiao'e. Who can say for sure about matters of the heart? And who knows, maybe she will be more suitable for me after I get out.

Who can say for sure? There is an old saying, "A tree that is moved will die, but a person who is moved will live."

"Hey, you're right, I'm really lucky to meet a girl I like when I'm young and to be together with her.

Now that you have made up your mind, go for it. We believe in you.”

"Well, Uncle Pan, starting from next month, we may only be able to meet at the steel mill. I will arrange for someone to send you food by then. If you have anything to say, you can tell him and he will pass it on to me."

"Oh, I get it, Xiaojin. If I hadn't really had no other choice, I really wouldn't want to accept your food for the sake of the children. It would be embarrassing enough if your father knew about it."

"Hey, Uncle Pan, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You guys took care of me before, and now I'm able to help you get some food. What's the big deal?

Besides, even if my dad knew about it, he would definitely praise me. You just said that you are my dad’s brother and my uncle. So as a junior, it’s nothing wrong for you to show respect to your uncle.

"You and Aunt Zhang can relax. I don't have any other skills, but getting some food is easy for me." Zhou Jin said, patting his chest.

"Okay, you're right. It's getting late now. You can have lunch here." Uncle Pan said with a smile.

"Okay, Xinxin is in school anyway, and I'll be alone if I go back. Besides, I have to go see Aunt Liu in the afternoon, so it's convenient to go there." Zhou Jin replied.

"Is there something you want to talk to Liu Fang about?" Uncle Pan asked with some confusion.

"Of course I will repeat what I said to you to Aunt Liu. Like you, she is one of the few relatives I have in this world. I have to explain things to her clearly so that she can be mentally prepared.

I don't want to lose relatives from both of your families because of misunderstanding, otherwise my dad will wake me up by slapping me in my dreams.

"Hahaha, kid, you're not being serious, but you're right, we're all family, if there's anything, just say it directly, and don't hide it.

Just like this matter, if you didn't tell us the truth, it would be hard for me not to think the worst, thinking that you had climbed up the social ladder and no longer acknowledged us, your poor relatives.

Even if you come back and explain everything to us, the gap in our hearts will not be filled so easily.

Doing so will only make both families uncomfortable, even though your intentions are good."

"Yes, Uncle Pan, you are right. I know you will support me and naturally don't want misunderstandings to erode the family relationship between us."

"We have watched you grow up since you were a child. We know what kind of person you are, so we will naturally trust you unconditionally."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Pan, you must remember that if there is anything at home that cannot be solved, you must tell me. I can't guarantee that all problems can be solved, but it's good to have one more person to help and give advice." Zhou Jin said seriously.

"Okay, I got it. Come, play a game of chess with your Uncle Pan. Your Aunt Zhang will prepare lunch for you." Uncle Pan invited enthusiastically.

"Okay." Zhou Jin agreed happily.

Time passed quietly, Zhou Jin enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at Uncle Pan's home and had a pleasant conversation with him for a while.

Afterwards, Zhou Jin rode his bicycle to the textile factory, found Aunt Liu, and took her to a secluded corner, where he told her what he had just said to Uncle Pan.

When Aunt Liu heard the news, a worried look appeared on her face. Although she had never left Beijing, she knew from newspapers and radio how difficult it was to survive outside.

She cared about Zhou Jin sincerely, just like a mother.

Zhou Jin naturally knew about this, but in order not to implicate Aunt Liu and her family, Zhou Jin still patiently and carefully explained and assured Aunt Liu.

In this way, Aunt Liu finally nodded to show her understanding.

Finally, Aunt Liu told Zhou Jin to take good care of himself when he was out there, and if he encountered difficulties or setbacks, he could come back at any time and she would take care of him.

Zhou Jin was deeply moved by these words and his eyes almost became wet, but he tried hard to control his emotions and not let the tears flow out.
