Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 55 Marriage?
Leather shoes, trousers, a white shirt and a dark coat on the outside.

After seeing this, Zhou Chunhua clapped and said, "Third brother, you look really good today."

"Girl, you should say that Third Brother is really handsome today. Good-looking is usually used to describe women."

Zhou Fengnian rubbed Zhou Chunhua's hair, smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat today? Third Brother will bring it back to you in the evening."

"Third brother, just find me a sister-in-law. It would be best if we can get married by the end of the year."

Zhou Chunhua said with a smile that she had become more cheerful during her time in the city.

Zhou Fengnian was also happy to see this change. In the past, the fourth sister was a taciturn person at home. She would do whatever she was told to do, like a puppet without self-awareness.

Now that I have a job and money, I gradually have my own ideas, and I smile more and more often.

"It's the end of the year to get married, Chunhua, do you have any crush on someone? If so, Third Brother will help you check it out."

Zhou Fengnian's words made Zhou Chunhua blush. When it comes to marriage, women are always more embarrassed than men.

Zhou Chunhua lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "I will marry someone else if my third brother gets married first"

"Why are you waiting for me? Don't listen to Dad. He's not in the city. Listen to me, your third brother, now."

Zhou Fengnian touched his fourth sister's head again and said, "I will make the decisions about matters in the city, unless Dad comes to the city; you can talk to her boldly and don't miss out on anyone you like."

If Zhou Chunhua delays for another two years, she will become an old maid. Besides, the fourth sister is not like him. Zhou Fengnian can use the excuse that the project is important and he has no time to delay, but Zhou Chunhua cannot do that.

"Okay, I'm leaving, Fourth Sister."

"Well, Third Brother, I'll clean up the house for you."

Zhou Fengnian smiled dumbly: "My house is quite clean. You should take a rest since it's a rare holiday. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk with Aunt Li."

Zhou Chunhua shook her head and said, "Aunt Li said that she would tidy up the bed sheets and quilt covers today, so it's just right for you, Third Brother, to do it."

"Thank you, Fourth Sister. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and then went out.

When he left the house, he happened to meet Luo Cheng who was going to play chess with the old man in the next yard.

Seeing Zhou Fengnian dressed in formal attire, Luo Cheng couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Are you meeting that little girl from yesterday?"

Zhou Fengnian was not embarrassed and said frankly: "Well, it's courtesy to return the favor. I'll take Zhou Yan for a walk today."

"It seems like you've taken a fancy to her. I can talk to your Aunt Li and ask her not to pick one for the time being."

Luo Cheng smiled and reminded: "But don't be hasty when you are dating, you have to proceed step by step, okay?"

"Mr. Luo, I'm definitely not in a hurry."

Hearing what Zhou Fengnian said, Luo Cheng shook his head secretly. This kid looks a bit like him when he was young, so he is indeed qualified to say that.

------

We got on our bikes and set off, and soon arrived at the agreed location.

"Zhou Fengnian."

Before Zhou Fengnian stopped the car, he heard a light voice calling him. Zhou Fengnian turned his head to look for her and saw Zhou Yan walking towards him.

Zhou Yan was so beautiful today that Zhou Fengnian's eyes lit up. She was wearing a light orange and white dress, revealing her snow-white and slender calves.

"Comrade Zhou Yan, have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhou Yan approached, lightly lifted her hair, shook her head and said, "Not for a long time, but Zhou Fengnian, you can just call me Zhou Yan. We can be considered friends now, right?"

"Then Zhou Yan, let's go."

Zhou Feng greeted with a young smile and motioned for Zhou Yan to get on the back seat of his bicycle.

Zhou Yan's face turned slightly red, not knowing whether it was because she had been looking at Zhou Fengnian's appearance for too long or because she remembered the collision experience when she was riding in a car last time.

After getting on the car, Zhou Fengnian set off on his bike.

The original plan was to invite Zhou Yan to go to Donglaishun, but it was still early, so Zhou Fengnian rode his bike to the park first after asking for opinions.

After arriving at the park, Zhou Fengnian parked the car and then followed Zhou Yan inside.

The two of them went to the park. Logically, only couples would do this, but when Zhou Fengnian asked about it, Zhou Yan did not object, so he understood what Zhou Yan was thinking.

On the greenway of the park, Zhou Yan walked closer and closer to Zhou Fengnian. After their shoulders came close several times, Zhou Yan suddenly lowered her head and asked,

"Zhou Fengnian, can I understand the situation in your family?"

Zhou Fengnian was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "My family is a very ordinary rural family. I have two brothers and two sisters. You have met the fourth sister, and the fifth sister is still in school."

After a while, Zhou Fengnian finished talking about his family situation, of course, the previous ones. He did not mention that his elder brother and second brother had found jobs.

It's hard to say. The new factory is still being relocated and built, and the jobs are theoretically still being selected. It's stupid for him to say that his two brothers have found jobs in advance.

After two months, Zhou Fengnian's family conditions will jump to the upper-middle level in the city.

There are nine people in the family and five workstations. Zhou Fengnian has great potential and will definitely become an engineer in the future.

People with such conditions are not even found in the general blind date market.

After listening to this, Zhou Yan's delicate expression remained the same, and she said, "It feels much better than my family. At least Zhou Fengnian, your parents love you very much, and you love your sister very much. My parents only have my brother and my younger brother in their eyes."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Fengnian to ask, Zhou Yan started talking about her family affairs.

There are only two workers in the family of five who earn money. Her father is a fourth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, and he earns more than 50 yuan a month, which is enough to support the family of five.

However, Zhou Yan's older and younger brothers were not up to the standard and dropped out of school before finishing their studies. Only Zhou Yan finished high school and after graduation was assigned to the Second Machinery Factory as a broadcaster.

Fortunately, Zhou Yan's father treated his children equally, otherwise Zhou Yan would not have been able to finish high school.

Even Zhou Yan's mother is extremely patriarchal, which is a bit extreme.

After Zhou Yan entered the machinery factory and became an announcer, he wanted Zhou Yan's eldest brother to take over the job. He also wanted Zhou Yan to get married directly and earn some dowry money to subsidize the eldest and third brothers.

Finally, even though Zhou Yan refused to agree, they asked her to pay 15 yuan to her family every month.

After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian sighed in his heart. If it weren't for his elder and second brothers being more capable, his mother would have had some tendencies in this regard, but not as serious as Zhou Yan's mother.

Moreover, he and Zhou's father can also control Zhou's mother, otherwise the fourth sister Zhou Chunhua might have to be married off.

"Zhou Fengnian, I don't want to hide it from you. I want to get married, but I don't want to marry just anyone. After spending a few times with you, I like you more and more. Are you willing to form a revolutionary husband and wife relationship with me?"

Zhou Yan asked shyly with her head down, proposing marriage after less than five times of dating was a very bold move.

However, this is also a characteristic of the times. If you go for a blind date to get married, you only need to meet two or three times. Dating on your own may take a little longer, but if you are discovered by others, you will definitely have to meet the parents of both parties.

The reason why Zhou Yan was so bold today was because she was forced by her mother to get married when she went out. She didn't want to sell herself out on a blind date, so she mustered up the courage to tell Zhou Fengnian.
