Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 68 The Dowry
Lu Changhua gave the pancakes to Hu Dagui, turned around and went to the team headquarters.

He wanted to ask how the company decided on the reservoir extension.Otherwise, he would be worried about it and would not be able to sleep peacefully.

In Director Han's office, Lu Changhua didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Director, has the company decided on the postponement?!"

"What extension?"

"The contract period of the reservoir has been extended. I mentioned it to you last time."

"Oh, this is it."

Director Han pondered for a moment and said decisively: "The extension must be postponed in accordance with national policies."

He stood up, walked up to Lu Changhua and said, "We just want some people to know that you are a role model set by the farm, and you must not be destroyed by dirty means!"

Lu Changhua blinked, why is this old man so excited? !
"The new and old reservoirs are contracted according to the rural land contract period, which is no less than one year, 30 years. This period is approved by the farm. You can do it with confidence and boldness!"

"Ah? Three, 30 years?"

Lu Changhua did not have such extravagant hopes. He thought that ten or twenty years would be good.

If money could be made from fish farming in this reservoir, which of the cadres’ families and relatives wouldn’t be jealous?

It’s hard to keep it yourself.

Who knows, because of Yu Lao Er's matter, it was a blessing in disguise.

Therefore, the contracting period is extended to the longest period.

Of course Lu Changhua was overjoyed and immediately signed the supplementary agreement.

Lu Changzhong rushed back that night and brought back two deer.

He rested at home for one night and rode his motorcycle back to work the next day.

Lao Lu took the money and asked Lu Changzhong to book a banquet in the agency canteen in advance. No. 15 The Lu family went directly to the agency canteen to meet their in-laws.

If the woman's family has any requirements, the matchmaker can put them forward and then negotiate.

Lu Changzhong got up early the next day and took the deer away.

December NO.15, Sunday.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the three members of the Lu family were all freshly dressed, and Lao Lu drove them to the field in a rubber-tired truck.

Stopping in front of the government guest house, the family got out of the car.

Lao Lu was also arranged to eat and rest in the guest house.

After all, Lao Lu is a man who has seen the world and should take the lead.

Lu Changhua took his mother and followed him.

The eldest brother Lu Changzhong has been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing that my parents and brother were coming, I went out to welcome them.

"Mom and Dad, brother, are you here?!"

Lu Changzhong was a little excited.

After all, it is a major event in his life.

"Well, where is Zhao Yan?"

Lao Lu asked.

"She'll be here in a minute."

While he was talking, a fat girl walked out of the door.

He has a round face, a tall body, and good facial features, but his skin is not very good, with some pimples and pimples on his face, and his complexion is dark yellow.

She took a few steps and came closer.

"Changzhong."

"Oh, Zhao Yan, let me introduce you."

When Lu Changzhong saw Zhao Yan coming, he quickly introduced her.

"This is my dad, my mom, my brother. Mom and dad, this is Zhao Yan."

"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"

Zhao Yan greeted Lao Lu and Mother Lu gracefully.

"well."

Both Lao Lu and Mother Lu looked at the girl in front of them.

Her butt is big and round, perfect for giving birth to a boy.

Mother Lu's first concern was not the girl's face, but her butt.

In her opinion, girls without butts are undesirable and must have big butts.I don’t know if there is any scientific basis for it, but this is her perception anyway.

Lu Changhua didn't pay much attention to these, but he kept thinking, why is there such a big gap between Fat Niu and his father? !
"Hello, brother."

Zhao Yan greeted the old man, but did not forget this little uncle.

I heard that my brother is very supportive of their marriage, which made her have a good impression of her future brother-in-law.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Lu Changhua said hello with a smile.

"Haha, it's cold outside, come inside quickly."

Zhao Yan was elated when Lu Changhua called her sister-in-law.

She held Mother Lu's arm and did not let go, walking in while talking.

Lu Changzhong and Zhao Yan thought carefully and opened two rooms in the guest house, one for their family to rest, and the other for the driver.

Lu Changzhong took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Lao Lu, asking him to rest in the room first and then go to the cafeteria to eat later.

Lu Changhua also came over to tell Lao Lu a few words, don't ignore him.

Lao Lu felt warm and went to the next room to drink tea and smoke.

Zhao Yan took Lao Lu and Mother Lu into the room.

This is a suite.

The outside room is a small living room.

There is a coffee table, sofa and TV, and there is a bedroom inside.

When the family came in, Zhao Yan enthusiastically helped Mother Lu take off her coat and hung it on the hanger.

He took Lao Lu's coat and hat and hung them up.

Then make tea and water for them, how enthusiastic they are.

Brother Lu Changzhong came in and saw the two old men already sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and eating candy.

"Mom and Dad, the banquet has been arranged. If you have to wait a little longer, his father will come over after the meeting."

"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting. My dad will be here soon. Let's talk here for a while."

"What about my mother-in-law?"

Mother Lu asked Zhao Yan.

"Uh……"

"What about that? Mom, her mother is also in a meeting."

"Oh."

At this moment, Lao Lu and Mother Lu haven't figured out yet, why are both the in-laws and mother-in-law having a meeting?
Lu Changhua knew that Zhao Yan's father was the farm director and her mother was the deputy farm director. Both of them were leaders of the farm.

It’s just that Lao Lu and Mother Lu didn’t know.

Ordinarily, Lu Changzhong should have introduced these situations clearly in advance.

There was a reason why he didn't say it.

He didn't know at first.

I found out later, so I didn’t dare to say anything in order to reduce the unnecessary psychological burden on my parents.

But Lu Changhua pretended not to know and did not inquire.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yan went out, saying she wanted to see how the banquet was being prepared.

Seeing Zhao Yan leaving, Mother Lu said to her eldest son: "Changzhong, I think the girl is pretty good. Her butt is big and round. She is the material for giving birth to a boy. She is also generous." "Oh, Mom, what age are you in?" , it’s a boy or a girl, it’s just a child anyway, it’s the same whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Lu Changzhong said with a blushing face.

"Who said that? Look at me, I gave birth to you two brothers!"

Mother Lu wanted to say more, but Lao Lu stopped her.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's see what their family demands!"

Lao Lu was worried about the bride price.

Just as he was talking, Zhao Yan came in with a smile.

"Uncle and aunt, my parents are here, let's go to the restaurant first."

"Cough, okay."

Lao Lu got up and walked out, and Lu Changzhong quickly led the way.

Zhao Yan followed Mother Lu’s arm.

Lu Changhua took out a few packs of cigarettes from his hanging schoolbag and took them with him.

When he came to the restaurant, Zhao Yan and Lu Changzhong had already arranged the seats.

This is a large private room in the restaurant. A large round table can easily seat more than a dozen people.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu sat in the host's seat and gave up the host's seat.

Not long after I sat down, the door curtain opened and a dark, thin, short, middle-aged man walked in.

Lu Changzhong and Zhao Yan greeted them.

The man took off his black woolen coat as he walked and said with a smile, "Is this Brother Lu?"

"Uncle, this is my dad."

Zhao Yan took the lead in introducing.

"Oh, Brother Lu, you have raised a good son!"

Zhao Huaian took two steps, held Lao Lu's hand, and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, Changzhong still needs more teaching from you!"

Lao Lu also smiled and held Zhao Huaian's hand.

"This is sister-in-law. You've had a hard journey along the way. Come on, sit down."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole room was filled with harmony.

Lu Changzhong gave him the main seat.

While he was busy, a middle-aged woman walked in. She was a fair-skinned and elegant woman.

"mom."

Zhao Yan shouted, walked over and took the woman's hand to her seat.

"Haha, Brother Lu, this is Zhao Yan's mother."

"Oh, hello, sister-in-law."

Lao Lu grinned, and Zhao Yan's mother stood up with a smile on her face and shook hands with Lao Lu and his wife.

"I've heard the two children talk about you a long time ago, and I've always wanted to meet you, and now I have the chance. Sit down."

This couple gives people a feeling of spring breeze, which shows their high emotional intelligence.

While they were chatting, a middle-aged man of medium height walked in, wearing brown-rimmed glasses.

"Hey, Lao Sun, why are you here?"

Zhao Huaian greeted from a distance.

"Hi, I had a small meeting and just ended."

He came over with a smile.

"Brother, this is our great matchmaker. Old Sun is a warm-hearted man. He is still here for today's matter."

"Brother Lu, your family Changzhong is a good boy. If you train him well, he will have a bright future."

Minister Sun shook hands with Lao Lu cheerfully and said hello to Lu's mother.

He sat down and said: "Today, as the matchmaker between Lu Changzhong and Zhao Yan, I am very honored to bring these young people together as lovers. I would like to express my congratulations."

"The parents of both parties took time out of their busy schedules to gather here today for the purpose of negotiating their marriage."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lao Lu and Zhao Huaian opposite him. Seeing that they were listening carefully and had no opinions, he continued: "Then let's discuss the specific matters."

"First of all, the issue of the new house. Lu Changzhong and I discussed it, and we think it's better for the man to solve it."

He looked at the faces of the Zhao family and saw nothing unusual, then said: "Our department coordinated with the agency office, and there happened to be a vacant house, so we arranged it for Lu Changzhong first."

Zhao Huaian frowned and asked, "Whose house is vacant?"

Before Lao Sun could speak, Zhao Yan’s mother Puhua asked, “Is this Lao Zhou’s house?”

"Yes, it belongs to Lao Zhou. Didn't he move away? The house has been empty for a while. As a young reserve talent with excellent publicity, I think I can take proper care of Xiao Lu."

Zhao Huaian did not object, and Puhua did not speak.

Zhao Yan heard that the house was settled, and a smile appeared on her face.

At first she said that she had a house and the matter was settled in the government guest house.

The houses here are all guest rooms, which are not suitable for living in. If they are renovated, they will have to be extensively renovated, which will cost a lot of money.

Now that the Propaganda Department has come forward to ask for the house, she doesn't have to worry.

With the house matter settled, Lao Sun started talking about the second item.

"What are the two companies' plans regarding furniture and electrical appliances?"

"When my daughter gets married, I will give her a TV set."

Puhua looked at her daughter lovingly, and Zhao Yan smiled happily.

"We will provide the furniture for the wedding."

Zhao Huaian said.

Lao Lu was already feeling guilty.

Judging from the conversation and temperament between them, Zhao Yan’s parents are not ordinary people!
He only heard from his son that Zhao Yan was from a cadre family, but he didn't know the specific leader.

Looking at it now, I'm afraid the background is not small.

Mother Lu was also suppressed by the opponent's momentum, and her heart was pounding.

"it is good."

Lao Sun's big face turned purple with excitement.

"About the bride price. What does the woman require?"

Zhao Huaian looked at Puhua.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu’s cheeks were tense and a little nervous.

Zhao Yan and Lu Changzhong were also extremely nervous, and hot sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Puhua coughed and said, "Just think about the bride price, maybe one thousand."

Most people really can't afford this amount.

Nowadays, households with ten thousand yuan are only one in ten thousand, and there are only a few in the entire farm.

The bride price is one thousand, which is not a small amount.

Lao Sun also had a twitch on his face.

When Zhao Huaian saw that the Lu family did not respond, he coughed and said, "The bride price is just a formality. The most important thing is that the children live a good life!"

However, Puhua said: "We as parents must do our best to make the most important event in our children's lives. This money is also the basis for their future lives. Only when this foundation is laid, can we rest assured."

Lao Lu glanced at Lu Changhua who was sitting in the corner.

Seeing Lu Changhua nodding towards him, Lao Lu felt confident.

"This betrothal gift..."
