Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 98 Formal blind date
As soon as the sun rose, people in the courtyard started to get up one after another.
Everyone started to get busy, preparing breakfast, washing up and other daily affairs.
However, unlike usual, Zhou Jin and his sister did not get up early like others today. They thought about many things last night and did not fall asleep until very late.
In contrast, the situation in the Lou family was slightly better. Although other family members were sleeping and sleeping normally, Lou Xiao'e tossed and turned all night and had difficulty falling asleep.
After all, all she knew about the blind date she was about to meet came only from her father's description. She could not help but feel a little uneasy and expectant.
Since the two families agreed to meet at Quanjude at noon, Zhou Jin decided to leave early. He hoped to get there early, order food and wait for the Lou family and Director Wang to arrive.
So he quickly got up, washed hurriedly, and then took his sister Zhou Xin with him to eat some simple food to fill his stomach.
Then he began to carefully tidy up his appearance, putting on a clean white shirt and shiny leather shoes.
At the same time, he also carefully helped his sister Zhou Xin to dress herself and comb her hair.
Today happened to be a holiday, and most people in the courtyard were at home. When they saw the Zhou brothers and sisters stepping out of the house wearing brand new clothes, they couldn't help but cause a small sensation.
Everyone looked at this scene curiously, guessing where they were going.
Some people even asked about it, but Zhou Jin just smiled and replied that he was going out for a walk, without revealing any further details.
However, they did not ask too many questions. After all, no one was familiar with Zhou Jin. However, they all guessed that Zhou Jin must have gone on a blind date today, otherwise who would dress so formally for no reason.
Although most people were just watching the fun, Yan Bugui was really thick-skinned. He didn't care about his relationship with Zhou Jin at all. When he saw Zhou Jin dressed formally, he came up to her and asked her all kinds of questions.
But Zhou Jin really hated him, so he didn't pay much attention to him. He just said a few random words to get rid of him, and then rode away with Zhou Xin.
Zhou Jin was afraid that someone was following him and sabotaging him secretly, so after Zhou Jin went out, he went in the direction of his grandfather's house. Fortunately, the direction of his grandfather's house was exactly opposite to Quanjude.
Moreover, Zhou Jin often went to his grandfather's house before, and everyone knew that Zhou Jin had recognized a pair of grandparents, so Zhou Jin used this to cover himself.
After riding for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jin made sure that no one was following him, so he took another road to Quanjude.
Although Zhou Xin was very curious about why her brother took a detour, she thought that her brother must have his reasons for doing so, so she just had to be obedient today, after all, this was a major event in her brother's life.
After riding for about half an hour, Zhou Jin finally arrived at Quanjude, because he had already booked a private room when he went to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.
So Zhou Jin parked his bike and took Zhou Xin to the private room, then selected the roast duck. As for the other dishes, he would order them after the people arrived. Then Zhou Jin took two bottles of Moutai from the space while Zhou Xin wasn't paying attention.
As for Zhou Xin's soda, she had just bought it on the road, and now she was waiting for Aunt Wang and the three people from the Lou family to arrive.
Zhou Jin looked at his watch. It was eleven o'clock, so it should be almost time, so Zhou Jin started teasing Zhou Xin.
The two played for about twenty minutes, then Zhou Jin took Zhou Xin downstairs and waited at the gate.
Sure enough, Director Wang arrived after a while, and he seemed to be dressed up carefully. Zhou Jin hurried forward to greet him, and after a few pleasantries, Zhou Jin asked Zhou Xin to take Director Wang to the box to sit for a while.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Jin saw a car coming. After the car stopped, two women and one man got out one after another. The man said a few words to the driver, and then the car drove away.
Zhou Jin guessed that it must be them. Lou Bancheng looked like a big shot in the business world. He had a dignified appearance, a confident attitude, and a gentle and elegant temperament.
Lou Tan was a typical noblewoman with outstanding temperament, elegant clothes and graceful manners, giving people a sense of nobility and elegance.
As for Lou Xiao'e, Zhou Jin can only say that she is definitely much more beautiful than in the original drama, with delicate features, pretty face, well-proportioned figure, and decent clothes. She has a smart temperament and a confident attitude, and a warm smile is always on her face.
Moreover, as soon as Zhou Jin saw Lou Xiao'e, he felt very familiar, as if he had seen her before.
This is not because Zhou Jin has seen Lou Xiao'e in the original drama, but it really seems like he has seen her in real life, but Zhou Jin really can't remember where he has seen her.
Anyway, Zhou Jin was so bewitched by Lou Xiao'e that he was a little dazed. He couldn't help sighing in his heart about how correct his decision was. At the same time, he secretly cursed Xu Damao as a bastard for leaving such a good girl to pick up Qin Jingru.
Zhou Jin quickly regained his composure and walked towards the three people from the Lou family. When he arrived in front of Lou Bancheng, Zhou Jin began to greet them.
"Hello, you are Uncle Lou Zhenhua, right?"
Lou Bancheng was talking to his wife when he was suddenly blocked by a handsome, tall, and elegant young man. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard the man speak.
"Yes, I am Lou Zhenhua, and you are Zhou Jin, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Lou, I'm Zhou Jin, and I asked Aunt Wang to introduce me to you."
When Lou Tan heard that the young man was Zhou Jin, who was going to have a blind date with her daughter Xiao'e, she was very satisfied and felt happy for her daughter.
Although this was the first time they met, through Director Wang's introduction and his current behavior, Lou Tan could tell that Zhou Jin must be excellent.
When Lou Xiao'e saw that this tall and handsome guy was the one she was going on a blind date with, she was so happy. She was a beauty lover, and Zhou Jin completely suited her aesthetic taste.
What's more, he was the one who took the initiative to find someone to introduce her to someone else, which made Lou Xiao'e even more excited. She could hardly control the upturned corners of her mouth.
Moreover, Lou Xiao'e and Zhou Jin had the same feeling. They both felt that they had seen each other somewhere, but they could not remember where.
"Yeah, he is indeed a handsome man. It seems that your Aunt Wang is still too modest."
"Hey, all right, Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, Xiao'e, let's go upstairs first, Aunt Wang is already here."
"Okay, let's go in together."
Zhou Jin hurriedly led the three of them to the box. During the time, Zhou Jin kept glancing at Lou Xiao'e. Moreover, he saw Lou Xiao'e's expression when they first met, and he already knew what this little girl meant to him.
Zhou Jin opened the door and welcomed the three people in. After everyone sat down, Zhou Jin also sat back down next to Zhou Xin.
Then Director Wang began to introduce each party’s situation to the other party.
"Boss Lou, you just met Xiao Jin. I've already told you his basic situation. Now I'll add something I didn't say.
Xiao Jin is indeed alone and has no relatives, but he now has grandparents and a younger sister.
My younger sister is this little girl named Zhou Xin. When Zhou Jin brought her to the street office, she was really skinny and her clothes were tattered. But now she has Xiao Jin as her brother, which is considered good luck. "
Hearing Aunt Wang talking about him, Zhou Xin quickly stood up and greeted the three members of the Lou family. "Hello, Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, and Sister Xiao'e."
"Hello, Xinxin."
"As for his grandparents, they are a pair of lonely elderly people living in Qianmen. The old couple has no children. Because of their class background, they have no jobs and are not eligible for the five-guarantee system. It was by chance that Zhou Jin recognized them as his grandparents. The old couple's life now is the envy of others.
The old couple has always been lonely and has lived a very difficult life.
However, everything changed since Zhou Jin became their grandson.
Zhou Jin not only brought them warmth and care, but also often helped them solve various difficulties in life.
Today, the old couple smiles every day and their lives become colorful. Their story has spread throughout the street and has become a legend among people.
People have lamented that kind people will always be rewarded, and this reward is not only material, but also spiritual satisfaction.
Moreover, Xiao Jin used his own abilities to help the steel mill solve the food supply problem some time ago. Now he has become a section chief, but his position is still deputy section chief.
So Xiao Jin is a perfect match for your Xiao E in terms of character, appearance, ability, and temperament."
After listening to Director Wang's words, Lou Bancheng also began to introduce his family's situation.
"Director Wang, after listening to your introduction, I have a new understanding of Xiao Zhou. I have to say that he is indeed an outstanding young man. I also think he is a good match for my Xiao E.
As for me, everyone calls me Lou Bancheng. Actually, there is nothing special about me. It is just because I once owned many businesses. Even the current Third Steel Rolling Mill was one of my businesses back then.
But later, under the policy of public-private partnership, I also handed over all my businesses to the government. Now my family of three lives on the dividends.
I'm telling you the truth, please don't mind. If it were in the past, with Xiao Zhou's family conditions and background, it would probably be impossible for him to even meet Xiao E.
We old couple have only Xiao'e as our precious daughter. We hold her in our hands for fear of dropping her, and hold her in our mouths for fear of melting her. We simply cannot bear to let her suffer any kind of grievance.
But there is nothing we can do. This is the current policy, and our background problem has seriously affected Xiao'e's academic future.
So now we just hope to find a son-in-law with a better background and a good family background, so that if any problems happen to our family in the future, he can protect Xiao'e from being implicated.
Fortunately, we were lucky. Director Wang introduced us to such an excellent young man, Xiao Zhou, and it was Xiao Zhou who took the initiative to find Director Wang to be a matchmaker, which shows that he really likes Xiao E.
That’s why we agreed to let them be together. This can be considered as fate.”
Zhou Jin did not expect that Lou Bancheng would speak out his true feelings in front of him and Director Wang. It was probably because he was under too much pressure because of Lou Xiao'e's matter. Now that the matter was resolved, he wanted to vent and express his distress.
"Uncle Lou, what you said just now is right. I have indeed caught up with a good time. If it were before, we would not be on the same level, but I have the confidence and ability to take good care of Xiao'e.
I fell in love with Xiao'e at first sight at the steel rolling mill. Later, I got to know Xiao'e's information through inquiries from various sources. Later, with the help of Aunt Wang, I was able to go on a blind date with Xiao'e.
To be honest, I am very lucky. I was able to meet Xiao'e before she got married. Meeting her today has made me more certain that Xiao'e will be my only one in the future."
No one in the Lou family expected Zhou Jin to suddenly confess his feelings to Xiao'e, and he said it so explicitly.
However, Lou Bancheng was even more satisfied with Zhou Jin, who dared to love and speak out, had ideas and courage.
As for Lou Xiao'e, her face turned even redder and she buried her head in Lou Tan's shoulder in embarrassment.
Seeing her daughter in this state, Lou Tan knew that she could not keep her daughter.
When Director Wang saw Zhou Jin's performance, he secretly gave him a thumbs up.
As for Zhou Xin, she was still young after all, and didn't understand a lot of what was said, but she knew that her brother was trying to find a sister-in-law for her, so she started to add fuel to the fire.
"Sister Xiao'e, my brother is right. I have heard my brother talking and calling your name in his sleep several times when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. At first I thought he was going to cook goose for me.
It was not until the day before yesterday when my brother told me about his blind date with you that I realized he called you Xiao'e, not Xiao'e."
"Hahaha." Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Zhou Xin's words.
This made Zhou Jin's face turn red and she felt very embarrassed.
Zhou Xin ignored everyone's laughter and continued speaking in a serious tone.
"My brother was so excited when Aunt Wang informed him of the blind date the day before yesterday that he dragged me to clean the house from top to bottom, inside and out.
Yesterday, in order to prepare something for Sister Xiao'e, my brother racked his brains and thought about it in the study for two hours, but couldn't come up with anything. Then he rummaged through the drawers at home and finally found a box.
But my brother didn’t show me what happened afterwards, saying he was afraid I would tell others about it. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at night, and I kept hearing him laughing in his room.
Sister Xiao'e, my brother really likes you, and I like you too."
