"Aunt Zhou, please come out quickly!" The voices came one after another, making it hard not to pay attention.
Zhou Linlin asked in confusion, "Why are there so many kids looking for me in the middle of the day? Mom, I'm going to go out and take a look."
He put down the kitchen knife, wiped his hands, and walked out quickly.
Fan Qin added water to the pot and covered it: "I'll go take a look too."
When An An and Ning Ning saw Zhou Linlin coming out, they hurried forward and pulled Zhou Linlin out of the door from the left and right.
"Aunt Zhou, we are going to sing a song for you, would you like to listen?"
Outside the gate, the children had spread a few pieces of cloth on the ground, and sat in pairs, back to back.
The others formed a semicircle around these groups of people, with Qin Zhidong standing at the very back.
"Sitting back to back on the carpet, listening to music and talking about wishes"
"You hope I will become more and more gentle, I hope you put me in your heart"
…
"The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you"
…
The melodious chorus of children slowly echoed through the village. When the song ended, Qin Zhidong walked past the children.
In his hand was a very simple wooden comb.
"Linlin, you, are you willing to let me accompany you until the end?"
The man in front of her looked embarrassed, his face and neck red. Zhou Linlin's eyes gradually filled with tears.
One by one, they fell like beads with broken strings.
Qin Zhidong suddenly became flustered and wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but he felt it was too abrupt and inappropriate, so he froze in mid-air.
"You, don't cry. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Don't cry."
Zhou Linlin snatched the wooden comb from Qin Zhidong's hand and stroked it with both hands happily.
The voice was a little sobbing, and he spoke intermittently: "Who, who said they disagreed? Where, where did this comb come from?"
An An: "I know, I know. My uncle is carving a piece of wood at home every day."
Ning Ning: "Aunt Zhou, do you agree? Are you going to be my aunt?"
Qin Zhidong finally reacted: "Really?"
Zhou Linlin felt embarrassed by the question. She had never been one to show her emotions. But she nodded vigorously.
The children jumped for joy: "Oh, Aunt Zhou agreed. Aunt Zhou is going to marry Uncle Qin!"
At the door, Fan Qinyi held Zhou Xing'an's hand tightly. The couple saw the touching feeling in each other's eyes.
"Zhidong is such an introverted kid, but he's done this for Linlin. I accept him as my son-in-law and will treat him like my own son from now on."
Zhou Xingan patted his wife's hand soothingly. "How could it be worse? Besides, Linlin is so happy. Can't you see she can't leave you."
An An: "Let's go, my mom said she's treating everyone to lunch, let's all go to my house!"
When the group of children heard that there was something delicious to eat, they didn't care about Qin Zhidong and Zhou Linlin's fun and ran into the Qin family quickly.
Yu You had already prepared delicious food to reward the young singers.
"You all performed very well today, and your singing was beautiful. However, please keep the matter between Uncle Qin and Aunt Zhou a secret, and don't tell anyone else."
After all, people in this era tend to be conservative. People are two-faced and can only see things in black and white. Expressing your feelings this way might not sound good.
It seems that I have to ask my mother-in-law to arrange a marriage for the powerful man as soon as possible.
"To reward you, Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious food. They're all on the table. Each of you has a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Feel free to help yourself to whatever you like."
The children were already captivated by the aroma: "No need to say anything, thank you, Auntie!"
Since we are inviting so many children to dinner, of course we have to have a buffet!
The chicken pieces are marinated, coated with flour, and fried until crispy and delicious. Once you start eating them, you can’t stop.
Cut the pork belly into slices and fry until the oil drips, then sprinkle some salt on it. It is so delicious that it will make you want to eat it.
The potato cubes are fried and sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder, which makes them less flavorful than French fries.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and deep-fry them in hot oil. Then, stir-fry them with the appropriate sauce. The golden brown color is truly delightful.
There is also a cold dish of smashed cucumber and peanuts for the children to eat to relieve their greasiness.
The staple food also includes steamed sugar triangles and rice, plenty of it!
The twenty or so children had never eaten like this before, so they didn't hesitate and started to eat with relish.
"Qin Jing'an, Qin Jingning, the food here is so delicious. I can eat two bowls of rice."
"Yes, yes, I can eat three bowls. It's so delicious, I might as well eat the one I had tonight."
"Next time something like this happens, call me. I think I can sing better!"
An An smiled and said, "I only have this unmarried uncle, where can I go next time?"
…
Qin Zhiheng looked at the children who were eating happily, and then looked at his wife who was busy and having fun with a smile on her face the whole time.
He moved closer to Yu You and whispered, "You You, thank you!"
Yu You: "Why are you thanking me? Shouldn't that kid Qin Zhidong be thanking me? Look how romantic it is, much better than when we were together."
Qin Zhiheng wanted to say, but isn't he my brother, but then he heard Yu You continue.
"Just remember, you are my man. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is still mine."
Qin Zhiheng...Okay, I'll spend my whole life for you!
Wang Yuerong and Fan Qin quickly reached an agreement.
Both of my children are going to college, so it's not appropriate to get married now. Let's just arrange the marriage first, have an engagement dinner with both families, and then get married after graduation.
Qin Wei also formally wrote a marriage certificate to the Zhou family, similar to the ancient ones, filling in the names of Qin Zhidong and Zhou Linlin.
It is obvious that the Qin family attaches great importance to this marriage.
Of course, the Zhou family was also very satisfied. Their favorite apprentice became their future son-in-law, and the two of them could take care of each other when they went to college.
In the past few days, Cao Xiu and Yu You also successfully made a batch of fermented black bean chili sauce using the new equipment in the factory.
Cao Xiu: "This equipment is fast and can produce a large amount. However, we can buy fermented black beans from the villagers, but we still need a lot of dried chilies, ginger, and garlic."
"So it would be nice if your dad came down. We could get him a few plots of land to grow some of these ingredients."
Yu Weimin, on the other hand, received a reply. His job transfer application was rejected!
The reason is that Qi Jing has been here for too short a time and still needs to be observed.
Yu Weimin was very depressed, and as a result, he transferred Qi Jing to his office, giving him full responsibility for his work, and also asked Qin Zhiheng to be Qi Jing's assistant.
As for me, I am responsible for coming up with ideas.
This is much easier, he can totally handle it!
So the daily routine in the office became.
Yu Weimin: "I think the steel mills are under-capacity. If we want to ensure that this target can be met, we have to break the iron rice bowl model."
"Qi Jing, I'll leave the specific design of this matter to you."
