Chapter 368 I thought the minister would remarry

Zhang Hongqi didn't know how to describe his current mood. After being in the Five-Star Brigade for so long, this was the first time he saw Zhou Ju smile so happily.

When I met her before, Zhou Ju was always very quiet.

This kind of Zhou Ju made Hongqi feel unfamiliar.

Zhou Ju seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and Zhang Hongqi was happy for her.

Lu Guohua shook his head: "It's unlikely. Uncle Wei said he would not remarry. He must have made up his mind to say such a thing during our dinner."

"They already knew each other and it was normal for them to have a meal together."

Lu Guohua still believed what Wei Guangji said and thought he was a man of his word.

Zhang Hongqi pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "Forget it, no matter whether they are together or not, we should not talk about this matter when we go back. If it is true, Uncle Wei will naturally tell us."

If it's not true, telling it will only ruin their reputation.

Wei Guangji never dreamed that he and Zhou Ju would be seen by Lu Guohua and Zhang Hongqi while having a meal together.

He sent Zhou Ju outside the factory and said, "Today is your birthday. I hope you can have a happy day."

After coming to the county to work, Zhou Ju no longer had to work in the fields or be exposed to the sun and rain, so her skin became whiter. In addition, with the change of living place, she was in a good mood and looked much younger.

She looked at Wei Guangji with a smile: "Thank you for treating me to dinner."

"Okay, I'll go back first, you should go back too."

After saying this, Zhou Ju waved her hand and walked into the factory with a smile.

Wei Guangji watched her enter the factory safely before turning around and leaving.

When I returned to the office, someone came up to me and asked with a smile, "Minister Wei, who was the woman you just had dinner with?"

After listening to this, Wei Guangji glanced at them and asked: "Are you guys free?"

A man who looked about the same age as Wei Guangji smiled and shook his head: "No, no, I'm just a little curious. If we don't ask, we will be thinking about it all the time and won't be able to concentrate on our work."

Wei Guangji looked at the people who were waiting to listen to the gossip and smiled: "That's my relative. It's her birthday today, so I'm treating her to a meal."

"Put away your gossips and stop talking nonsense." Wei Guangji glanced at them and said, "I have no plans to remarry, so stop speculating."

"So you're a relative." The man glanced at Wei Guangji and said, "We were so happy for nothing. We thought we would be able to eat your wedding candy soon."

Wei Guangji laughed: "Then you guys think about it carefully, but there is no hope."

When Wei Guangji returned to his office, everyone gathered together and whispered, "We are a little disappointed. We thought the minister would remarry."

"He's not old, he can definitely find another one and have two children."

"Don't even think about it. If the minister really wanted to do this, he wouldn't have waited until now." Someone reminded him, "In the past few years, many people wanted to introduce someone to the minister, but he simply refused."

"He has just made it very clear that the female comrade is the minister's relative. Please don't bring this up again in the future."

After hearing this, everyone agreed that they would be in trouble if the minister's reputation was damaged.

Zhou Ju returned to the dormitory and was asked by her colleagues where she had been today. She remembered how polite Wei Guangji was and how he never said anything beyond the rules, so she smiled and said, "Today is my birthday, so my relatives invited me to a state-owned hotel for dinner."

"I see. We thought you were dating someone."

Zhou Ju looked a little uncomfortable when she heard this: "Living alone is not bad. I have a job now and I have my own house in the brigade. When I get old, I will go back to the brigade to live there."

How desperate would one be to choose to get married at this time? After experiencing such a heart-wrenching pain, she didn't want to jump into that fire pit again.

The best way to live at this stage is to work hard and learn to read when you have time. Although I am still in the literacy class, I and Zhou Ju believe that as long as I have patience, I will be able to read sooner or later.

When a colleague heard Zhou Ju say this, he frowned slightly and disagreed with her words: "You think this way now, but when you are old and can't walk anymore, you will feel how happy it is to have a son or a daughter."

"Also, how can a woman not get married?" The colleague smiled and whispered in Zhou Ju's ear: "Only after getting married can you experience how wonderful it is to be moisturized by a man."

Although Zhou Ju was not married, she knew about the relationship between men and women. When she was young, the control was not so strict. She had even seen several pairs of wild birds making out in the wild.

It is also because the control is strict now, and everyone dare not do anything wrong for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhou Ju smiled and said, "I have a salary. I can feed the whole family if I am well fed. I can eat well, drink well, and sleep well. I can nourish myself."

"Okay, I know you're all doing this for my own good. I've already made up my mind not to get married."

After hearing what Zhou Ju said, several colleagues did not dwell on the matter. Everyone has their own way of choosing, and even if they really don't like it, that is their business.

Of course, they also had selfish motives when they mentioned the matter of marriage. Every family has one or two elderly relatives who are still single.

He might be a widower, or he might have delayed getting married due to other things. They thought that Zhou Ju was good-looking, had never been married, and had a job, so it would be great if they could bring them together.

They didn't expect that Zhou Ju didn't want to get married at all, so there was no need to bring up the matter.

We are all colleagues, and we will see each other sooner or later, so there is no need to make the relationship awkward because of some relatives.

Zhou Ju and Wei Guangji both insisted that they were just relatives, so even if they went out to eat together, no one would think of their relationship as a sex scandal.

Apart from work, Wei Guangji's favorite thing to do now is to go out for dinner and drinks with Zhou Chengye. They seldom go to state-owned hotels. They either stay at Wei Guangji's house or at Zhou Chengye's house.

Wei Guangji carried a piece of meat to Zhou's house, went to the kitchen as if he was familiar with the place, and started cooking.

Zhou Chengye, the host, became an assistant and he was very happy.

While cooking, Wei Guangji asked Zhou Chengye: "Your wife will give birth soon. Have you prepared everything you need?"

Zhou Chengye quickly said, "We have prepared everything. My two parents, as well as my father-in-law and mother-in-law, have prepared a lot of things. It seems that my husband and I don't pay much attention to the baby in our belly."

Compared with what their grandparents had prepared, the couple really had a lot of shortcomings.

Wei Guangji laughed after hearing this: "You are still young. This is your first time being a parent. You must have many shortcomings. You need to listen to the opinions of the older generation on this point."

"With the experience gained this time, it will be much easier next time."

Zhou Chengye chuckled. It was hard enough to get pregnant once, why would he want to have a second one? Thinking of this, Zhou Chengye hesitated. He even thought that after his wife gave birth to this child, he would ask Xiaowu for some medicine that would not hurt her body and could prevent pregnancy.

Of course, it was not for his wife to eat, but for him to eat.

Wei Guangji glanced at him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
