"There are still more than 20 meters to go before the top is capped..." Zhou Zhenghe has been staying at the construction site and is naturally very familiar with the progress of the project.
"It's still early!" Mr. Zhou has also been a migrant worker, so he naturally knows what it means to be more than 20 meters short of the ceiling.
"It's almost a month, and the later decoration can be completed in more than a month," Zhou Yan is very confident about the progress of the project. "Even if it's rainy in the summer in previous years, it can be almost completed in mid-July."
"It's up to you," said Mr. Zhou with a gloating look on his face, "Don't encounter any accidents then, just keep the guests cool!"
"Is there a father like you?!" Zhou's father was pushed hard by Zhou Yan's mother.
The majority of the hotel shares were taken. As for the remaining cash, jewelry and other betrothal gifts, the four elders only had a general understanding.
It's another busy morning.
At dawn, Zhou Yan was pulled out of bed by his father.
"Pretend to be a gift!"
Before Zhou Yan could react, Father Zhou had already handed over a pair of cotton gloves, and then a foam box filled with dry ice. Next came large pieces of pork.
After the pork is packed, there are also cigarettes, wine, tea and sugar.
After packing the gifts, Father Zhou kicked Zhou Yan on the butt again: "Go and ask your uncle and aunt to come over for dinner!"
During breakfast, neither Zhou Yan nor his uncle dared to let go of their stomachs. They both knew that there would finally be a big battle waiting for them.
After breakfast, Zhou Yan and his uncle drove on the road with a car full of gifts.
"Should we go to Dongyang or Lao Qin's hometown?"
This was the first time for Zhou Zhenghe to participate in such a "major event". He was a little excited. As soon as the car got on the road, he kept asking questions.
"Go to Lao Qin's hometown, Qing'an."
Zhou Zhenghe, who was wearing a suit, scratched his head: "By the way, I forgot to ask, Lao Qin's family..."
"Old Qin has two parents, two brothers and one sister." Zhou Yan was a little helpless, "Last time I visited the house, all the relatives of Ruoshu and his family were there."
"Your aunt was at home at that time, right?" Zhou Zhenghe smiled awkwardly, "The construction site was busy at that time. Besides, your uncle should have taken the lead in this makeup promotion..."
The distance between Qingya Town, where Zhou Yan's hometown is, and Qing'an District, where Qin Ruoshu's hometown is, is only over fifty kilometers. It's not a rainy day, and there's no traffic jam. It takes less than an hour to get there.
They made a phone call before departure, and when the two arrived at the community where Qin's family was located, Qin Ruoshu's cousin was already waiting at the door.
"Brother, you're finally here..." Waiting for the car to stabilize, my bitter cousin picked up his cell phone and made a call, "I've arrived..."
"Brother, get in the car..."
The car entered the community, and before going very far, it was stopped by the Qin family who came out. Surrounding the Qin family were some people who wanted to watch the fun...
"Zhou Yan, just ask for it, why do you bring so many things here?"
As soon as Zhou Yan got out of the car, he received a Versailles-style scolding from his father-in-law.
After scolding Zhou Yan, Qin Fangyuan smiled and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Zhenghe: "Are you Uncle Zhou Yan?"
"My eldest brother and my second brother are both carsick, so it's up to me, my brother-in-law, to take the lead." The brother-in-law glanced at the gifts in the car with a smile, "My dear, there's still meat underneath, so hurry up and move the things upstairs.
!”
Next is the "showing off wealth" part.
Cigarettes, wine, sugar, and tea are all high-end goods that Zhou Yan asked Anxin Mall to prepare.
The items placed in the trunk were all the high-end tobacco and alcohol available on the market. The remaining relatively more expensive red wine and tea were placed in the trunk by Zhou Yan.
Although Qing'an is only a small county, there are people who know the goods. When they saw the two boxes of red wine that Qin Ruoshu's cousin moved from the trunk, his eyes shone...
"That's Lafite, right?"
"It should be so!" The melon-eaters were a little unsure, "Tea must also be high-end goods..."
Qin Fangyuan, who was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth now, felt a little numb when he saw the high-end goods. He turned back and looked at Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, Lafite and Big Red Packet were just a joke, do you still take it seriously?
"
"It's this once in a lifetime, I can't take it too seriously," Zhou Yan chuckled, "My dad doesn't like wine and black tea very much, so I can only honor you..."
Compared with tobacco, alcohol, sweets and tea, the pork "buried" under the carriage is a bit shabby.
"Zhou Yan, and Zhenghe, come upstairs!"
The gifts have just been unloaded here, and the female relatives upstairs have already started a discussion meeting.
"Ruoshu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law's family are really rich..." Qin Ning smiled and kicked the Maotai piled at the door, "Feitian sent it in boxes, and this..."
Qin Ning was a little unsure about the red wine: "This should be Lafite, right?"
"Well," Qin Ruoshu glanced at the box containing the wine, "the 1982 Lafite, Zhou Yan snatched it from Lin Chongwen..."
"Hey, it's Kuotai who knows all about these things!" Qin Ning's face was full of joking, pointing to the two boxes of tea piled on top of the wine box that looked the most "local", "Where's this?"
"The Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao," Qin Ruoshu thought for a while and added, "It is said that it comes from an old tree..."
"Oh, by the way..." Qin Ning quietly approached Qin Ruoshu and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Zhou Yan tell you how many gifts their family has prepared?"
Qin Ruoshu shook his head blankly...
The whispers between the two people could not be hidden from Qin Ning's mother who was sitting beside her: "Xiao Ning, although I didn't say it, I can tell from the return gift your uncle prepared. Your brother-in-law's return gift is Ruiyang Restaurant.
BBQ hotpot with Daqin..."
Qin Ning suddenly turned into a lemon essence and hugged Qin Ruoshu fiercely: "Smelly girl, your husband's family gave you so many gifts, how can you ask my husband's family to give you such a gift?"
"Xiao Ning, my aunt is not talking about you," Qin Ruoshu's mother said with a smirk on her face, "The prerequisite for your husband's family to give you a gift is Xiao Ning, you must have a partner..."
Then, Chief Qin Ning and Qin were verbally and physically criticized by all the female relatives in the family...
After a while, Qin Fangyuan led the other half of the sky upstairs.
"Zhenghe, these two..."
"Uncle, aunt, I am Zhou Yan's brother-in-law. Today, on behalf of my brother Zhou Zhenghai, I am here to discuss the marriage of our two children!"
"Come inside quickly, don't stand outside!"
After entering the room, sitting down and being polite for a while, Zhou Yan quietly packed his small bag, took out a booklet bound with red silk cloth, and quietly handed it to his uncle.
"Uncle, aunt, this is a gift our family bought for our in-laws. I don't know if it will suit your wishes." Zhou Zhenghe smiled and handed the brochure to Grandpa Qin.
Grandpa Qin handed it to Qin Fangyuan without even looking at it.
Taking the booklet, he looked around and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him. Qin Fangyuan suddenly felt on pins and needles, his face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled: "How about we open it and take a look?"
Although he already knew that Zhou Yan, who was very wealthy, might give him a heavy gift, Qin Fangyuan did not expect that the first item on the gift list was 50% of the shares of the Blue Sea and Blue Sky Hotel.
Although the project is still under construction, Qin Fangyuan has already learned some clues from the daily gossip of Dongyang citizens: Dongyang's first six-star hotel has a total investment of more than 4 billion.
"Zhou Yan..." Qin Fangyuan's face was filled with bitterness, "This..."
