Chapter 161 Do you know everything about her family?
When Zhou Rong arrived at the iron factory, he did not go directly to find Zhou Jiafu. Instead, he first gave Chen Aimei ten eggs and two cans of crispy radishes.
The iron factory's family quarters are being expanded and are expected to be completed next year. Zhou Rong hopes that Chen Aimei can take care of Zhou Jiafu and allocate him an apartment by then.
By the way, let me know about Zhou Jiafu's recent performance...
Chen Aimei took Zhou Rong's things and said angrily, "I'm so happy that you came to see me. Why are you taking things from me? You're so polite!"
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "They are all cheap things, so you don't have to be polite. My mother insisted on raising chickens at home, and the eggs are laid by our own hens. We made the crispy radish ourselves. Try it, and if you like it, I'll send some over later."
Chen Aimei opened the can lid, tasted one, and praised, "It's sour and sweet, delicious! Did you add sugar drops?"
Zhou Rong: "Well, it tastes spicy without sugar."
Chen Aimei: "The cooking is really good. The more I eat, the more I want to eat. My Jasmine will be blessed in the future."
Zhou Rong: "Who is Jasmine?"
Chen Aimei: "Did your brother in the room tell you that he and Jasmine are dating?"
Zhou Rong: "!!! No, sister, who is this Jasmine? Can you tell me about her situation?"
Chen Aimei: "Of course! Jasmine is my cousin, and I was the one who introduced them to each other."
Zhou Rong: “…”
Chen Aimei: "Moli works in our statistics department. She is diligent in her work and progressive in her thinking. She is a good match for your brother. I just briefly talked them over and they fell in love with each other. They have been together for almost two months."
No wonder the brat hasn’t been home recently, it turns out he’s been dating secretly.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Sister, you know the situation of my family. We are all from the countryside and don't have much wealth. Jasmine must be as good as you. It is a blessing for our Zhou family that she likes my brother.
But I am afraid that such a good girl will be wronged by our simple family environment, and my sister will lose face then."
Chen Aimei: "Oh! These are nothing. I have told Jasmine about your family's situation. She doesn't care and only thinks highly of Zhou Jiafu.
The family quarters of our factory are almost completed. My cousin and I have agreed that as long as your brother and Jasmine get married, we will give them two rooms, and your parents don’t have to worry about their houses. "
Zhou Rong always felt that such good things would not happen to her family, so she asked tentatively: "Sister, how long has Jasmine worked in the factory?"
Chen Aimei: “Four years.”
Zhou Rong: "Such an outstanding person must have many admirers, right?"
Chen Aimei understood what Zhou Rong meant by that: "I know what you want to know. We didn't intend to hide Jasmine's affairs from you. Your brother also knows about her situation.
She is two years older than your brother. She had been engaged to a man before, but the man got pneumonia and died because he couldn't be cured. His mother was unreasonable and said that Jasmine was a jinx and had killed her son. She also spread bad things about Jasmine everywhere, ruining her reputation.
This caused everyone to misunderstand Jasmine and no one wanted to date her, which is why she has been single until now.
When I was matchmaking for your brother, I told him everything about Jasmine, and he said he didn't mind, so I arranged for them to meet."
Zhou Rong: "Thank you for worrying about us, I'll go find Jiafu. If they get together, I'll give you a thank you gift."
Chen Aimei: "That's not necessary. Jasmine is a sinner. I just hope she can find a good husband. I don't want anything else."
Zhou Rong chatted with Chen Aimei for a few more words and then went to the workshop to find Zhou Jiafu.
When Zhou Jiafu saw Zhou Rong, he said happily: "Sister, why are you here?"
Zhou Rong: "You haven't been home for almost two months. Mom was worried that you would forget the way home, so she asked me to show you the way."
Zhou Jiafu wiped the black dust off his face and said with a simple smile: "I didn't forget. There has been a lot of work at the factory recently, and I didn't arrange any rest. I wanted to save up some time off so that I can take some time off during the Chinese New Year."
Zhou Rong: "Sigui has a girlfriend and will bring her home to meet his parents on the 18th. You should also go back for a reunion dinner and bring your girlfriend along."
"Okay!"
After Zhou Jiafu answered, he realized something was wrong and smiled: "Sister, you know everything?"
Zhou Rong: "Is there anything in this world that can be hidden from me? Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, tell the truth!"
Zhou Jiafu: "...Her name is Chen Moli, the cousin of Sister Chen from the Personnel Department. She works in the Statistics Department of our factory. She looks okay and speaks very gently.
Sister Chen introduced us to each other. I wanted to bring her home for you to meet on New Year's Day, but I didn't expect that my elder sister found out first."
Zhou Rong: "Do you know everything about her family?"
Zhou Jiafu: "I know. She has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married and have jobs. She also has a younger brother who works in a printing factory and, like Jasmine, has just started dating.
Jasmine's father works in a brick factory, and her mother does not have a job and stays at home to take care of her grandson.
Jasmine was engaged before, but the man later fell ill and died. People say that Jasmine is unlucky and they don’t dare date her. I don’t believe in those feudal superstitions. I think Jasmine is a nice person. If you meet her, you will definitely like her. "
Zhou Rong: "Really? Then bring her home on New Year's Day and show her to your parents."
Zhou Jiafu: "Sister, didn't you say you would bring it back on the 18th?"
Zhou Rong sighed and said, "You are too simple-minded. I can only believe half of what you say. On the 18th, Sigui's girlfriend will come to our house for the first time. I am afraid that you, a fool, will destroy her place. Then she will fight you to the death."
Zhou Jiafu: "...Then follow the arrangements of the eldest sister."
Zhou Rong went home and told his mother about Zhou Jiafu's girlfriend and her situation.
Zhou's mother asked: "Do you think that girl and her family are trustworthy?"
Zhou Rong: "It's hard to say now. We'll know when we meet him on New Year's Day and try to find out."
Zhou's mother: "Oh, these children, I don't know whether to praise them or scold them, every day, I am really worried."
On December 12, Shen Bohang excitedly yet nervously dressed himself up from head to toe.
He was worried that he was not polite enough, so he asked his mother early on what gifts to bring to the Zhou family and what precautions to take.
Qin Yanhua was afraid that her son would be careless and fail to do the job well, so she personally bought cigarettes, alcohol, candy, etc. and brought them to Shen Bohang's dormitory one day in advance. She also told him that when he arrived at the Zhou family, he should talk less and work more so as to leave a good impression on his mother-in-law.
Shen Bohang kept his mother's words in mind. As soon as he arrived at Zhou's house, he put down the gifts and asked Zhou Gui if there was any housework that needed doing.
Zhou Gui thought he was an old hand because he worked at home every day, so he pointed to a bucket and said, "Go fetch some water. Just fill the water tank."
Shen Bohang: “…”
Shen Bohang, who had never done any heavy work, wanted to tell the truth, but looking at the expectant eyes of his girlfriend and future mother, grandfather, and aunt, he couldn't open his mouth and could only bite the bullet and go to the water room to fetch water...
