Zuo Youcheng waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with you. If the two of you are destined to be together, then it will all work out naturally! I had a good first impression of this young man, Lu Jin. Since he wants to stay and develop his career, and Zhenzhen is also interested in working for you, it's perfect. Let them get along!"
Since Zhenzhen can clearly express the anxiety hidden in her heart because of him, we will not stop her.
Besides, with you and Ling Ran here, Lu Jin won't and won't dare to let Zhen Zhen down. We are very relieved."
Luo Shaoqiang, who followed in to eavesdrop, said in dissatisfaction, "Godfather!"
Zuo Youcheng laughed, "Hahaha, Qiangqiang, when you have a girl you love, you won't be able to help but hug her."
Luo Shaoqiang blushed at his godfather's words, "I won't tell you anymore. The adults' ideas are too weird."
Luo Shaoqiang ran out, and Zhou Xiang walked to the door and called Zhenzhen and Lu Jin in.
Lu Jin held Zhenzhen's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhenzhen nodded, "Yeah! I'm not afraid."
The two walked into the living room as if they were going to the execution ground. Lu Jin blocked Zhenzhen behind him and said, "Uncle, Auntie, it's my fault. You can vent your anger on me. As long as you can vent your anger, as long as you agree that I can date Zhenzhen."
Zuo Youcheng said with a straight face, "What if we don't agree? Zhenzhen is only 18 years old and still studying. She can't understand her own feelings."
Zhenzhen was anxious. She wanted to get out, but Lu Jin wouldn't let her. He put his hands behind his back to stabilize her body.
"Uncle Zuo, what conditions do you want before you agree to our relationship?"
"What if I let you marry into my family? What if the child has the surname Zuo?"
Lu Jin nodded. "Sure. No matter what the child's surname is, he's still my flesh and blood. I'm not the only boy in my family, so the line won't be broken."
Zuo Youcheng smiled, he was a responsible young man, and Fang Yuehong also smiled.
Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Did he pass?
"Okay! We agree to your relationship. You don't need to marry into our family. You just need to settle down in the town and live a good life."
Zhenzhen was released by Lu Jin. She stood beside him and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Zuo Youcheng had tears in his eyes. "Dad is sorry for you. It was Dad's mistake that led to you... Dad is very pleased that you can stand up and bravely express what you want."
"Don't blame Dad. I never blame anyone."
Lu Jin took out his washed-white handkerchief and gently wiped Zhenzhen's tears. "It's in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Everything will be fine in the future."
Zhenzhen nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes!"
Lu Jin felt itchy in his heart. Her well-behaved appearance made him want to hug her again.
He restrained his hands, folded the handkerchief, and prepared to pack it up.
Zhenzhen pulled his hand and said, "This handkerchief has been around for a long time, why don't you buy a new one?"
Lu Jin waved his hand. "No, this is what my mother gave me when I left the mountains. It contained ten yuan that she had saved her entire life. I spent the money, but I'll never change it."
Zhenzhen nodded, "Then don't change it, just wash it and put it away."
"Um!"
Zuo Youcheng and Fang Yuehong exchanged a glance, and Zuo Youcheng said, "Since your family is in trouble, why don't you go back?"
"There's not much land in the village, and going back would be a burden. My mother also told me to stay out as long as I can, so I shouldn't go back."
"Silly! You have to go back for the New Year. There is no mother who doesn't miss her own children."
"Then, can I take Zhenzhen back to let my mother see her?"
"Yes! Comfort your mother's heart."
Lu Jin bowed to Zuo Youcheng and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zuo."
Zuo Youcheng waved his hand, "Why are you being so polite, kid? When you stay close to us, treat us as your parents. If you have something to say, just tell us. Don't hold it in."
"Yeah!" Lu Jin grinned and nodded vigorously.
Everything was agreed upon and the dining room was setting the table for dinner. Zuo Youcheng planned to go back as he couldn't leave the house without someone watching the door.
Zhou Xiang refused to let them go. "Come back after dinner. We have a car at home to take you back."
Lu Jin immediately responded, "I can drive too. I'll take Uncle Zuo and Aunt Fang back."
"Okay! Then let's eat first!"
Zuo Youcheng drank too much at this dinner. He was happy that his daughter had finally gotten over it and found such a good partner. His mental burden was gone, so, at Zhou's father's urging, he drank several more glasses.
Lu Jin carried him to the back seat of the car, and Luo Shaoqiang followed along, otherwise the drunk man would be asleep at the other end and they would not be able to get him out by themselves.
Fang Yuehong sat in the back seat and supported him. She understood her husband's feelings and did not stop him.
When Lu Jin and Luo Shaoqiang came back, it was already half past nine. Lu Jin didn't see Zhenzhen and felt a little disappointed. Luo Shaoqiang rolled his eyes at him and forcibly pushed him out of Zhou's house and locked the gate. He said it was time for him to take a shower and go to bed as he was tired.
The next day, just as Zhou's father got up, there was a knock on the gate. As soon as he opened the door, Lu Jin came in, "Uncle Zhou, I'm on duty."
"You little brat, you've got a great excuse. Oh! Come to think of it, Ling Ran used to be like this, coming here early every day. Why didn't I figure it out sooner?"
“Uncle Zhou, I figured it out long ago. Can you stop the boss from entering the house?”
Father Zhou shook his head. "It's a bit difficult! His temper is as stubborn as a donkey."
"That's it. Now, he's staying at the Zhou family and won't leave. Do you want to chase him out with a stick?"
Father Zhou turned back to the kitchen. "Humph! You want to use me to teach your boss a lesson? If you're not convinced, challenge him! Why would you use me?"
"Uncle Zhou," Lu Jin followed behind Zhou's father, "you don't know! Ten of us put together are no match for the boss. He's not a human being."
"Yeah?"
"Yes..." Uh, no, that voice? He turned around and looked up. The person standing at the corridor window on the second floor was their inhuman boss. "Boss, that's not what I meant. I meant that you are not a mortal, not an ordinary person."
"I don't want to bother with you. You knocked on the door so early in the morning. I thought something happened! Next time, the Zhou family won't open the door. Don't knock on the door if there is nothing to do."
"Yes, Boss, go back to sleep."
Ling Ran left the window. Lu Jin turned back and saw Uncle Zhou's half-smile. "Uncle Zhou, you see! It's so scary."
Father Zhou shook his head. “I didn’t see anything. I just saw a mouse that was scared by a cat. Hahahaha.”
Lu Jin followed him into the kitchen and helped boil water and cook porridge. Uncle Zhou was the boss's father-in-law, so he would definitely not see the boss's cold-faced devilish look.
As soon as Zhenzhen came downstairs, she saw Lu Jin helping in the kitchen. She happily called out, "Lu Jin."
Lu Jin turned around and said, "Are you up? Go wash up quickly, you can eat soon."
"Um!"
The people upstairs came down one after another. Zhou Hua planned to go to the county town to see Mei Zi. If possible, he wanted to take Mei Zi to stay for a while. She would have company at home, and there was also the park for them to play in.
Zhou Xiang agreed, "However, my floor is full. Ask Qiangqiang to live with Ling Ran, and Meizi to live in your floor."
Zhou Hua smiled and agreed, "Okay!"
After breakfast, Ling Ran asked Lu Jin to call Xia Fei and ask Xia Fei to drive Zhou Hua to the county town.
Zhou Hua thought about it and agreed. If Mei Zi came to stay, she would have to bring luggage, so he should learn to drive.
