80: The black-bellied officer read my mind and fell in love with me

The scroll was only halfway unfolded when Zhou Hongyi's hand stopped and he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned to look at his father and said excitedly, "This seems to be Mr. Shen's!"

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately stood up and walked over.

The two of them opened the scroll completely, and Mr. Zhou's eyes instantly turned red.

"Yes, this is what Lao Shen left behind. I didn't expect to see his works left behind again after so many years, and they are still so well preserved!"

Except for the two of them, everyone else was confused.

Seeing this, Zhou Hongyi quickly explained, "Mr. Shen is a famous calligrapher in modern times and a friend of the old man when he was young. Unfortunately, we got together less and separated more, and the old man used to talk about him a lot."

After decades, Mr. Zhou was very excited to see the writings left by his old friend again.

After thanking him repeatedly, he happily asked Zhou Hongyi to hang it up first, "Be careful. I'm happy today. Hang it up for a day to see enough, and then put it away tomorrow."

Zhou Jinchuan quickly reached out to help.

After the calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall, Mr. Zhou led everyone to happily introduce the things from his youth.

Originally, Mr. Zhou had not been feeling well these past two days, and Zhao Lan was worried that he would have to go to the hospital again in the middle of the meal today.

Unexpectedly, after Su Yi's family arrived, the old man's complexion and energy improved significantly.

It’s true that people feel refreshed during happy events.

Seeing everyone gathered around happily listening to Mr. Zhou's introduction, Zhou Ailing stamped her feet angrily and directly pulled her husband to the dining table.

After a while, the food was served one after another.

After three meals and five drinks, Zhao Lan and others began to discuss the details of the wedding.

"Jin Chuan's father and I discussed setting aside the third floor for the young couple to live in. It's almost finished now, but the furniture and electrical appliances we ordered haven't arrived yet, and the smell in the room is still going strong. You two will wait a moment. Go check it out.”

"Sister Yin has just found Xiaoyi, and I heard that she bought a house next door, so I think we should decorate that house as well so that the two of us can live in two places in the future, and it will also be convenient for you to see your children. It's not far away anyway. "

One sentence said into Su Yin's heart.

She had just found her biological daughter, and she was reluctant to marry her off so soon.

Now that I see my mother-in-law being so considerate, I can't help but get red-eyed.

After Zhao Lan talked about the Zhou family's arrangements, he asked Su Yin again, "Let's discuss it again. Is there anything we haven't thought of?"

Su Yin and Su Yi's brothers and sisters-in-law all smiled and shook their heads, "I've thought about it very carefully."

Only Zhou Jinchuan seemed a little dissatisfied, "It will take too long to hold a wedding next month."

Zhao Lan rolled her eyes at him helplessly, "I'm hurrying up. I've started decorating before you're discharged from the hospital. Besides, the weather is still very hot, and the autumn weather will be nice next month."

Everyone laughed and agreed after hearing this.

Zhou Ailing also pursed her lips and smiled, "I just heard my sister-in-law say so much, and I haven't heard about how your Su family arranged it. The betrothal gift has already been paid, and the dowry is also indispensable, right? I heard that your Su family The house was robbed two days ago, but nothing was found. It seems that the Lin family has no hope now, so you can't marry into our Zhou family empty-handed, right? "

Lin Wangdong and his wife looked at each other and took the initiative to stand up, "There is no way for us to let my little sister marry in empty-handed."

The second eldest brother, Lin Haonan, also followed suit, "That's right, with our brothers here, this worry is a bit unnecessary, right?"

Lin Zexi, the third child, laughed coldly and said, "It's really unnecessary! Whatever dowry my sister wants, as long as it's available in the country, we as brothers will get it for her, so there's no need to worry!"

When Zhao Lan saw a few people saying this, she quickly stood up and waved her hands, "No need. As the old saying goes, a woman from a high family marries a woman from a low family. Even if the Su family is in dire straits, no one will dare to chew anything as long as we are determined. Besides, a dowry is a dowry. Betrothal gifts are betrothal gifts, how can they be lumped together for comparison? Do you think they all have to pay the same as my sister-in-law in order to be praised? "

When Zhou Ailing got married, she ignored her family's objections and married into an ordinary working-class family.

In order to prevent her from suffering, the Zhou family secretly subsidized her a lot, and even gave her a large dowry when she got married.

Many years have passed since this matter, and Zhao Lan should not have mentioned it originally, especially in front of her younger uncle.

But I was so angry just now that I couldn't hold it back for a while.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Lan finished speaking, Zhou Ailing stood up angrily, "What do you mean?"

Although Zhao Lan felt a little guilty, she straightened up when she thought of how she had mocked her in-laws just now, "That's the literal meaning. You were the one who asked for the dowry because you had nothing to do. Besides, what I said was also the truth, and I didn't target my brother-in-law." mean."

Zhou Ailing couldn't listen at all, and was about to argue with her when she was silenced by Mr. Zhou.

"That's enough. My in-laws are all here, and I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. You both have your faults, but it was indeed Ailing who started this matter. You can't blame anyone else."

Zhou Ailing felt extremely aggrieved when she heard this, "Even if I speak a little harshly, it is for the benefit of our Zhou family and Jin Chuan."

"There is an old saying that when you get married, you should pay attention to being from the same family. This makes sense. Whether it is family background, education, vision and character, nothing about their family can compare with ours."
