Chapter 43 Drinking
As her voice fell, the blue meridians on the back of Zhou Xiao's hand, which was placed on the wheelchair, suddenly bulged, which was quite sexy.
When the two looked at each other, it seemed as if everything around them had faded away, and an invisible atmosphere was surging between them.
"Hey, Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you want to sit in the main room or outside?" Zhang Guixiang ran over in a hurry.
When her son got married, she wore new clothes that she had not been willing to wear in the past few days. She combed her hair back and her face was rosy. Anyone could see that there was a happy event in the family.
The lively atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Jiang Yu saw that the man's eyes returned to their usual calmness, so serious and solemn as if he never thought about those things.
Her gaze stayed on the man's face for two seconds, then moved away and spoke to Zhang Guixiang.
"Just sit outside."
The weather was hot, and it was even more stuffy sitting in the house to eat. Jiang Yu regretted forgetting to buy an electric fan.
These days, I can only take out the silent small fan I bought from the mall and use it when I am alone at night.
"Okay, I'll prepare a separate table for Comrade Xiao Jiang and let Zhou Xiao accompany you." Zhang Guixiang took her to the table under the tree in the yard.
This was specially prepared by Zhang Guixiang for Jiang Yu. Even the table was a brand new mahogany round table. Zhang Guixiang turned around and moved some chairs over and replaced the bench.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, please take a seat first. I'll go get you some food. Zhou Xiao, please take good care of Comrade Xiao Jiang."
After giving the instructions, Zhang Guixiang went to bring some fruits, peanuts, and drinks, and then went to do other things.
Jiang Yu sat down and looked at other tables. Quite a few people had already arrived, sitting there cracking melon seeds and chatting about everything under the sun.
If he meets her gaze, he will excitedly toast her with a glass of wine.
The Zhou family has been having good things happen to them recently. The villagers sent so many dishes that they were piled up so hard that they couldn't be recognized. They looked anxious to return them, so the Zhou family had no way of returning them. As a result, they had to save the dishes from the wedding banquet.
Seeing how willing everyone was to spend, Zhang Guixiang, who had been frugal for most of her life, gritted her teeth and bought a lot of drinks so that everyone could enjoy themselves.
When she saw someone toasting her, Jiang Yu, who felt a bit like a country celebrity, laughed and sat up straighter.
She probably still has some baggage.
However, Jiang Yu just nodded to them and looked away.
Although he was going to build a factory in the village, Jiang Yu had no plans to get too close to the villagers. He just wanted to maintain the image of a mysterious, generous, patriotic overseas tycoon.
Being too friendly is sometimes not a good thing.
After Jiang Yu decided not to build a factory, people started coming to her for work and stealing things from the factory. She would be annoyed for a long time.
"Do you want to eat?" Zhou Xiao pushed the peeled peanuts and melon seeds towards Jiang Yu.
While eating, Jiang Yu looked at the wine jug on the table with an eager look.
Zhou Xiao knew what she was thinking and quickly held down her hand that was about to pour the wine.
When the two hands were placed together, Zhou Xiao felt as if he was holding a piece of warm jade. The hand was as white as mutton-fat jade, and it was indeed very similar.
The man paused for a moment, smiled at Jiang Yu, and tickled his palm with his fingers teasingly.
Zhou Xiao felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Yu was not opposed to such behavior. He grasped the whiteness and spoke helplessly.
"This is white wine, it's strong, it's easy to get drunk."
In case Jiang Yu still wanted to drink, Zhou Xiao added a sentence.
"The wine is irritating to the throat and not very tasty. I can make plum wine. Can I make some for you to try later?"
After listening to Zhou Xiao's description, Jiang Yu didn't want to drink the white wine anymore, and became interested in the plum wine the man mentioned.
"You can also make wine? That's amazing! I'm looking forward to tasting the plum wine brewed by second brother himself." She praised.
You can learn more skills like this.
Zhou Xiao held Jiang Yu's hand in his palm. He wanted to hold it for a little longer, but he was afraid that his palms would sweat, so he had to let go.
Instead, he put the pot of wine under the table to prevent Jiang Yu from seeing it and wanting to drink it again.
Jiang Yu drank the Arctic Ocean soda poured by the man, which was popular in this era. The sweet orange flavor spread in her mouth, and the flavor of essence was also very obvious.
She took a sip, put the cup down and looked at her watch.
"Why hasn't Zhou Tinghuai taken Chen Zhi over yet?"
Jiang Yu heard that in some places, there are many rules for welcoming the bride, and she was worried that the same rules apply here.
"It should be soon." Zhou Xiao said.
There are some customs for welcoming the bride in the village, but they are not excessive. Moreover, the current Zhou family and the second branch of the Shen family would not be so stupid as to make things difficult for others on this day.
At the same time, the second branch of the Shen family.
Zhou Tinghuai came on a motorcycle to pick up his wife, followed by some young people he was on good terms with, and some villagers who were waiting to see the bride.
They are particular about the time to go out. It's not time yet, and the door of the second branch of the Shen family is not opened. Only Shen's father and mother are outside greeting people.
"Huaizi, your clothes are so nice. Where did you buy them? I will buy one when I get married." Among the people who came to pick up the bride, someone looked at Zhou Tinghuai's red suit and asked.
The suit was not a bright red color, but it looked very good on him. With Zhou Tinghuai's fair skin, he looked like one of the Hong Kong stars on TV when he wore this suit with a red flower on his chest and some hairspray in his hair.
"This dress was bought by Comrade Jiang. If you want to buy it, I'll go ask Comrade Jiang."
Zhou Tinghuai adjusted his hair in front of the motorcycle mirror, looking like a high-spirited groom.
When he heard that the clothes were bought by Jiang Yu, the young man quickly withdrew his hand from touching Zhou Tinghuai's clothes, with a look of envy on his face.
"What else are you buying? Comrade Jiang is such a person. How can I afford the clothes she buys?"
"But Comrade Jiang is really good to you. Not only did he give you a motorcycle, he also gave you wedding clothes. You must have accumulated a lot of merit in your previous life to have such a future sister-in-law."
Zhou Tinghuai patted the brother on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Aren't we going to build a factory? Let's all work hard and try to become workers so that I can attend your wedding next year."
As for taking the back door or something, even he can't do it, so what can others think?
The young man who understood what he meant just chuckled. Those around him who wanted to talk to Zhou Tinghuai and those who gave them a break in the interview also fell silent.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen thought that Zhou Tinghuai said this on purpose, and gave the new son-in-law a look of praise.
What they were thinking was, if he really couldn't get into the factory, why would Jiang Yu arrange for him to interview people?
Isn't it obvious that the son-in-law will have a lot of power in the factory in the future?
When they thought that in the near future they would be able to rely on their son-in-law to work in the factory and live a good life, the two of them smiled at Zhou Tinghuai with their teeth showing.
He also took the initiative to say that the factory's interviews were very fair and that there was no backdoor approach, and asked everyone not to make things difficult for Zhou Tinghuai.
Everyone: “…” The person who is most suspected of relying on connections said this?
Shen’s parents: Others have used the back door, so how can they get out? The son-in-law is so smart!
When the time to pick up the bride arrived, the door of the second room of the Shen family opened. Zhou Tinghuai took the lead and strode in. Amid the lively noises of everyone, he took Shen Zhi out of the room.
Everyone thought Zhou Tinghuai was dressed decently today, but they saw that in addition to a red suit, Chen Zhi was also wearing a gold necklace and a gold bracelet.
I don’t know what else is on the chest, but I think the red stone is very beautiful. The phoenix holding up the red stone seems to be made of gold.
