Chapter 468 Eternity
Zhou Yong picked up the phone, and after some communication, he found out that Zhou Kexin had a boyfriend.
It’s just that her family doesn’t know about it, and also, she is in her internship period now, so she doesn’t want to talk about marriage.
After hanging up the phone with his daughter, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at each other silently.
"Do you think it's possible that Niuniu is lying to us? Is it because she doesn't want to go on a blind date?"
Li Caiyun believes that if Zhou Kexin is dating someone, she should tell her family openly and there is no need to hide it.
Zhou Yong pondered for a while and felt that this was a possibility, so he decided to go to the hospital where Zhou Kexin was doing her internship to confirm it.
The couple are definitely action-oriented. Once the deal is settled, they immediately go on a trip without any preparation.
Because in their eyes, Zhou Kexin's marriage is more important than anything else.
The couple didn't even say hello to their daughter. The moment Zhou Kexin saw her parents, she was dumbfounded.
Zhou Kexin was a little amused when she learned their purpose, and then she called her boyfriend Shen Liwen over.
The two met in college and studied the same major. Shen Liwen pursued Zhou Kexin for many years, but it was not until last year that the two officially confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Zhou Yong stared at his future son-in-law, and asked Shen Liwen many questions as if he was checking his household registration.
For example, how many people are there in the family, and what requirements his parents have for their daughter-in-law, etc. Zhou Kexin held her forehead helplessly, but Li Caiyun listened with great interest.
Zhou Kexin finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Zhou Yong's questioning of Shen Liwen.
The four of them had a meal together. Overall, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun were very satisfied with Shen Liwen's performance in all aspects.
Although Shen Liwen's family conditions are average, he has seven brothers and sisters and he is the seventh child in the family, so his family does not expect him to carry on the family line.
Moreover, Shen Liwen also said that having children after marriage is a matter of fate and not forced, which is what Zhou Yong is most satisfied with him for.
After meeting their future son-in-law, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun stayed for one night and then went home. The couple came and left in a hurry.
After returning home, Zhou Yong immediately asked someone to go to Shen Liwen's hometown to inquire about the situation, to see if what he said was true.
Fortunately, what Shen Liwen said was true, so Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun were completely relieved. As for when they would get married, that was their own business.
As spring turned to winter, in September 1999, Zhou Yong received a call from Guo Xiangqian.
After years of hard work and struggle, Guo Xiangqian finally became a provincial governor again.
In this life, because of his acquaintance with Zhou Yong, Guo Xiangqian did not embark on the path of corruption and crime, but became an honest politician.
After hanging up Guo Xiangqian's call, Zhou Yong was in a daze holding the phone. Li Caiyun pulled him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Guo Xiangqian called to announce the good news. He has been appointed as the provincial leader..."
Li Caiyun's face was filled with surprise and joy: "That's great, should we go and congratulate him?"
Zhou Yong shook his head slowly: "He is very busy now. Even if we go, he has no time to entertain us..."
Li Caiyun nodded continuously, and Zhou Yong immediately changed the subject: "Are you going to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival at home this year? Or are you going to a restaurant?"
"Why don't we celebrate the festival at home? It will be more lively. What do you think?"
Zhou Yong nodded: "You have the final say."
On September 22, one day before the holiday, Li Jingchu and his wife returned with their children and Li Jingen and his wife. They arrived home in the afternoon, and in the evening Zhou Kexin brought Shen Liwen home to celebrate the holiday.
This was the first time that brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen met their future brother-in-law, and they made Shen Liwen feel uneasy.
Zhou Yong glared at his two sons. At this time, Zhou Kerou came with Ma Yiyang, pregnant with a big belly.
"Brother-in-law, let us take you out for a walk."
Shen Liwen glanced at Zhou Kexin, who was silent, and felt terrified, but he still gritted his teeth and left home with his two brothers-in-law and brother-in-law.
After they left, Li Caiyun muttered in dissatisfaction: "What is there to do so late at night?"
Zhou Kerou said with a smile: "Mom, they went out to beat up my brother-in-law."
Li Caiyun shook her head helplessly, and Zhou Kexin continued chatting with Jiang Ziqing and Qin Xiaohui.
It was very late when Li Jingen and Ma Yiyang brought Shen Liwen back. Zhou Kexin looked at her boyfriend's depressed expression and couldn't help laughing.
"What did they tell you?"
Shen Liwen smiled bitterly: "If you say I dare to treat you badly, you will break my legs..."
The brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen didn't say it very directly, but that's what they meant.
Not only that, Li Jingchu and Li Jingen also said that if Shen Liwen did anything to let Zhou Kexin down after they got married, they would definitely cut him into pieces.
Zhou Kexin smiled with tears in her eyes: "Are you scared? If you are scared now, it's not too late."
Shen Liwen smiled, and seeing that there was no one around, he took Zhou Kexin's hand.
"I wouldn't do those things to you, what's there to be afraid of?"
Zhou Kexin quietly looked at Shen Liwen who was expressing his loyalty to her in disguise. She originally wanted to date for a year before getting married, but suddenly she had the idea of getting married.
"Let's get married!"
Shen Liwen was stunned. Zhou Kexin frowned when she saw that he had not responded yet.
"Why don't you answer me?"
Shen Liwen came back to his senses, his face gradually turned red, he didn't say a word, and hugged Zhou Kexin.
The next day at breakfast, Zhou Kexin suddenly announced that she was going to marry Shen Liwen, shocking everyone for a long time.
With a click——
The chopsticks in Li Caiyun's hand slipped onto the plate. She picked them up hurriedly and looked at Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong came back to his senses and said "oh", but his face gradually showed an extremely happy expression...
The next day was the August Festival, and the Li family was extremely lively. Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling the whole day.
After the excitement, the house became quiet again and life gradually returned to normal.
Zhou Yong is busy with work every day, while Li Caiyun balances the brick factory and her own business.
A few days later, Zhou Yong called Chen Pingliang and said he wanted to sell the timber he had purchased in Huaixi Village.
Zhou Yong is not short of money. The reason why he wants to sell the timber is mainly because he knows that the country's control over timber will become increasingly strict in the future.
If we don’t sell the timber now, in a few years we will have to go through the formalities at various departments if we want to cut down trees.
After ending the call with Chen Pingliang, Zhou Yong called Wei Guoan again.
Wei Guoan had completely forgotten about buying timber in Huaixi Village. The main reason was that he had too many businesses and he didn't take the investment of tens of thousands of dollars seriously at all.
The timber was sold very smoothly. At the beginning, each of the three of them invested 50,000 yuan. Twenty years later, each person's investment increased thirty or forty times.
After Zhou Yong received the money, he looked at the number on the passbook and realized that there was only over 2 billion on the books, while he still had over 6 billion deposited with Wei Guoan.
Time unknowingly came to December 10, 1999. This day marked Li Baotian’s 88th birthday.
"Grandpa, we two wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea..."
The children gave their blessings in pairs. When it was Li Jing'an's turn, he held Ma Yuan's hand and came to Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at each other. Ma San and Liu Juan also looked confused, not to mention the others.
Li Jing'an and Ma Yuan knelt down one after the other, while Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang sat in the main seats: "Master, we wish you eternal youth and eternal youth..."
Li Baotian said "OK" three times in a row, and Li Jing'an and Ma Yuan stood up from the ground one after another.
Zhou Yong held his forehead with his hand. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Ma Yuan, his future daughter-in-law. The main problem was that when the two of them started dating, no one around them noticed.
"Uncle San, your nephew wishes you a long life..."
The brothers Li Hongjun and Li Hongliang kowtowed to Li Baotian, and then other younger generations of the Li family came forward one by one.
Soon everyone sat down at the table. When the meat dishes were served, Zhou Kexin began to feel nauseous, so she covered her mouth and nose.
"Niuniu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Kexin and Shen Liwen have obtained their marriage certificate and are engaged, but they haven't held their wedding yet. However, they have been living together for several months.
"Mom, I'm pregnant."
Li Caiyun stared at her daughter in a daze. When she came to her senses, she immediately told Zhou Yong the good news.
"Really?"
"How can this be false? Niuniu told me so herself."
After confirming that it was true, how would you describe Zhou Yong's mood?
I am so excited that I can't express it in words.
Not to mention Li Caiyun, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
After dinner, it was time to take photos.
Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang sat in the middle, while Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun sat on either side of the old couple.
Zhou Kexin's four siblings, each with their husbands, wives, girlfriends and fiancés, stood one by one in the back row. In the front were Little Pepper, Little Potato and Little Eggplant.
"Look at me, everyone, shout together..."
Li Hongjun was holding up a camera, and as he shouted, more than a dozen members of the Li family all focused their eyes on the camera lens with smiles on their faces.
With a click——
The camera recorded this beautiful moment, which instantly became eternal.
