(please subscribe)
Xin Zhao sat on the sofa, listening to his wife and Lu Wentong discussing their marriage.
Lu Wentong was so thin-skinned that Xin Zhao could hear her constant "um" sounds from the side. She could only agree in a low voice to Lou Xiao'e's various arrangements.
After talking to Wentong for a while, Lou Xiaoe called Zhao Zhixia again and talked to him about the matter.
Naturally, Zhao Zhixia would not refuse. After all, if he continues to study for a Ph.D., it would be a good thing to get married early. After all, they have been living together for four years while studying abroad.
"Okay, let your dad tell you a few words, and I'll find someone to arrange this." Lou Xiao'e went out in a hurry, and Zhao Xin felt that his wife had never been so active in doing business in the past two years.
Xin Zhao took the phone, exchanged a few words, and asked about their living situation in Cambridge.
Just when Xin Zhao was about to hang up the phone, he heard someone shouting "Zhixia" on the other side of the phone. The pronunciation of foreigners is different from that of Chinese people. Moreover, Xin Zhao has also met Lu Wentong, and he is very sure that this person is not
Lu Wentong.
"Do you have any guests at home?" Xin Zhao asked.
"Yes, it's Tan Qing, a former college classmate. She is also Wen Tong's best friend."
"Oh." Xin Zhao frowned slightly, and there was a slight impression in his mind. After a moment of silence, Xin Zhao said: "Handle all kinds of relationships well, and don't let Wen Tong be wronged."
"Yes, Dad." Zhao Zhixia agreed on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xin remembered what Zhao Zhixia had just said. His postgraduate study was actually invited by the school's top teacher, who promised that he could enter the laboratory of a certain biology boss.
Xin Zhao didn't think much about it. He didn't think that with his energy at this time, he could let Britain engage in such a secret operation. Besides, his son was already very good.
Xin Zhao began to be busy with various things, and Hong Kong continued to acquire various computer-related equipment. It seems that he finally started to make a profit on the road of reselling equipment.
This is because there are more domestic buyers looking for equipment from Xinghai Group.
There are a lot of troubles in importing equipment from abroad, but Xin Zhao can save a lot of time and money.
Lou Xiao'e has recently left many things in her hands to the people below her, while she concentrates on preparing for the wedding of her third son.
At the same time, she will also call Zhao Yutian in Hong Kong to urge him to find a partner quickly. After all, his brother who is two years younger than him is getting married.
On the other side, as the Academy of Sciences established a computer institute company, some research departments also began to enter the field. Coupled with the emergence of various small private enterprises, the domestic economy has improved visibly.
Today, Xin Zhao received an invitation to give a report at an economic forum in China. Officials have been giving confidence to the private economy, but no amount of confidence can compare to the presence of such a person, who has become a representative figure of the private economy.
The role of role models is endless, so Xin Zhao has many such invitations.
However, Xin Zhao will only accept a few games. After all, in addition to being an entrepreneur, he is also more of a researcher who solves difficult problems.
Time passed and it soon came to the beginning of July. Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong, who had studied abroad, came back.
Lou Xiao'e and Zhao Xin took Zhao Yueyue to pick them up in person.
Naturally, both of them were happy when they came back, but Xin Zhao noticed that Zhao Zhixia's eyes were a little dodgey, but he didn't care.
After all, Lu Wentong looks very well-behaved and nothing unusual.
Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong were sitting in the car driven by Zhao Xin. Lou Xiaoe and Zhao Yueyue went to the company after giving instructions.
After all, Xinghai Group is busy with affairs, so the hands-off shopkeeper Zhao Xin has more time.
The car stopped in front of his house, and Zhao Zhixia pulled Lu Wentong out of the car.
Lou's father and Lou's mother were already waiting at the door, and they immediately went up to say hello.
Lu Wentong also called Zhao Zhixia grandparents, but when Lu Wentong called Zhao Xin, he still called him uncle. Zhao Xin didn't care, after all, he wasn't really married yet.
"Ouch~" Dahei and Erhei ran around next to Zhao Zhixia. Although they had studied abroad for four years, Dahei and Erhei had not forgotten Zhao Zhixia.
He is even somewhat familiar with Lu Wentong.
Entering the yard, Zhao Zhixia felt inexplicably friendly looking at the scene in the yard.
"Aunt Sun." Zhao Zhixia called to Sister Sun who was busy in the kitchen.
"Hey, Zhixia is finally back. Mommy has been looking forward to your coming back for the wedding these two days!" Sister Sun continued.
Hearing Sister Sun's words, Lu Wentong also shouted: "Aunt Sun".
She was not so shy this time, but there was more expectation in her eyes.
There are chefs busy in the kitchen. The chef inside is He Yuzhu's new apprentice, and he is regarded as the royal chef of Zhao Xin's family.
After all, the food is freshly cooked and delicious, and there will always be a delay in delivering it from Shuxiangxuan.
After Zhao Xin greeted Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong after dinner, Lou Xiao'e came back after handling the company's affairs. Following her came an old man who specialized in calculating yin and yang.
Xin Zhao saw the corner of this man's mouth twitching slightly. He was also a good hand at telling days. As for inviting such an old gentleman who inherited ancient fortune-telling techniques to come here!
Lou Xiao'e also ignored Zhao Xin, but called the old gentleman to sit down in the living room.
Then she called Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong and asked them to go in and sit down.
Zhao Xin was no exception and was pulled to sit next to Lou Xiao'e.
I watched my daughter-in-law provide various information to the old man, and then the old man twirled his fingers and muttered slightly.
Xin Zhao felt that this man still had two brushes. After all, what he held in his hands and what he said in his mouth were really skills passed down from his ancestors.
I think such an old gentleman must have suffered a lot in the past.
After some calculations, the old man gave three dates. One was May 30th in the lunar calendar. Lou Xiaoe took a look at the calendar and found that it was July 17th in the solar calendar, which was less than half a month from now.
The other one is the third day of June, which corresponds to July 20 in the Gregorian calendar.
The last one is on the ninth day of June, corresponding to July 26 in the Gregorian calendar.
"Honey, which one do you think is better?" Lou Xiao'e turned her attention to Xin Zhao. These three days are all in the near future, so there is no need to choose the nearest one.

"The ninth day of June is the ninth day of the lunar month. The ninth day is the Yang Yao and the sixth is the Yin Yao. According to the rules passed down by our ancestors, it should be the best day." Zhao Xin said.
"Mr. Zhao has also studied the Book of Changes?" The old fortune teller's eyes lit up.
"I've seen some." Xin Zhao acted very modestly.
"Okay, let's set it on the ninth day of June, which is July 26 in the Gregorian calendar." Lou Xiao'e made the final decision, then took out ninety-nine yuan and handed it to the old man as a reward for inviting him over.
Seeing the money, the old gentleman was shocked for a while and hesitated to reach out to take it. After all, it was too much. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no words came out.
"Just keep it, old man. Ninety-nine means longevity. May they be together forever." Xin Zhao handed the ninety-nine yuan to the old man.
Hearing Zhao Xin's words, Lu Wentong glanced at Zhao Zhixia, his eyes full of smiles.
After returning to this courtyard, the worries she had recently had in England disappeared.
July 26 was still twenty days away, and Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong were driven away the next day by Lou Xiao'e, who asked them to drive to Lu Wentong's home to visit.
After all, the child must go home first when returning to China. Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e will also go to Lu Wentong's house in two days to discuss the child's marriage with Lu Wentong's parents.
When Zhao Zhixia drove Lu Wentong to Lujiacun, they found that the place had changed drastically from a few years ago.
"Are the roads in our village so good?" Lu Wentong sat in the passenger seat, looking out with surprise on her face.
The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and the two got out of the car. There were some children at the entrance of the village carrying schoolbags, who seemed to be going to school. When the car stopped and the two people got out of the car, the children all cast curious eyes.
One of the little girls looked at Lu Wentong timidly and said, "Are you Sister Wentong?"
"Xiaoya, you have grown so big." Lu Wentong also recognized the little girl and stepped forward to touch her cheek.
"I have candy here for you to eat." Lu Wentong took out the candy and handed it over.
"The teacher said you can't eat candy from strangers, but you haven't told me whether you are Sister Wentong." Xiaoya said seriously.
"I am your sister Wentong. I have three brothers and two sisters. The eldest sister's name is..." Lu Wentong told her, and Xiaoya was relieved. At this time, Zhao Zhixia also took a large bag of candies from the car, which was specially prepared.
It’s good for the children in the village, it’s like eating a wave of wedding candies in advance.
After Lu Wentong proved his identity, the children became bolder and reached into their bags to grab candies to eat.
Several children even chattered to Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong, saying that Lu Wentong's family had built a new house and now they no longer live in the old house.
The children led Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong to the new house, which was a two-story residence with a large yard.
In fact, when the children pointed out the location of the house from a distance, the two of them saw this conspicuous house.
Lu Wentong's sudden return really made her mother cry with joy.
When my daughter went to study abroad, although she told them about it, she stayed there for four years after all.
"Okay, okay, it will be good if you and Zhixia come back." Mother Lu wiped her tears, then looked into the room and shouted: "Ayan, your sister-in-law is back."
Not long after, a girl with twisted hair came out of the kitchen, and Mother Lu introduced her: "This is your third brother's wife, thanks to Zhixia's family taking care of her."
Lu Wentong greeted her sister-in-law cordially, because she could see that her sister-in-law's belly was slightly bulging, and she looked like she was pregnant.
Although people in rural areas will be more careful when they are pregnant, they don't have to do nothing. So Lu Wentong, the third sister-in-law, was busy in the kitchen just now.
Mother Lu asked Ayan to take Lu Wentong to live in the house, while she went to the neighborhood next door and asked someone to go to the factory to call the head of the family and several children.
After Lu Wentong and Zhao Zhixia chatted with Mother Lu, they learned that Xinghai Group had built a sugar cane factory here. Lu Wentong's three brothers and two brothers-in-law have become workers in the sugar cane factory, and their father is guarding the gate of the sugar cane factory.
What?
Lu Wentong couldn't help but held Zhao Zhixia's hand. She didn't say any words of thanks, because in her heart, she already regarded herself as a family.
