Chapter 336 Very Satisfied
Cui Changjia is not really a girl in her 20s. She is used to giving red envelopes. So when she saw someone giving her a red envelope, she instinctively refused, "Auntie, I don't..."

Zhou Qingyan came over, took the red envelope from his mother and stuffed it into Cui Changjia's pocket, "Take it, don't refuse it."

Cui Changjia was a little embarrassed and could only put the red envelope away, "Thank you, Auntie."

"We will be a family from now on, no need to be so polite."

Zhu Yu looked at Cui Changjia and became more and more satisfied. Well, she is not a shy little girl, which is good. Now they can rest assured.

Cui Changjia booked a restaurant, but Zhou Jingwei refused to go, saying that there was no need to waste money and it would be fine to just eat with the workers in the factory.

In fact, Cui Wenquan was happier that Zhou Jingwei didn't go, not because he was afraid of spending money.

The fact that Zhou Jingwei didn't go to the restaurant but stayed in the factory meant that he really didn't care about the current conditions of the Cui family.

Fortunately, when the canteen was built, a reception hall was specially designed inside the canteen for entertaining guests. Except for the lack of some green plants and ornaments, it has all the tables and chairs, and there is heating, so it is not cold at all.

Cui Wenquan happily took Zhou Jingwei and Zhu Yu to visit the factory workshop, while Jiang Hongying asked Cui Changjia to go to the canteen to make arrangements.

Just because someone says we're going to eat with the workers, you can't really eat from the same pot with the workers.

When there were fewer people in the factory, Aunt Zhang was still able to cook some meals, but now that there are more people, her cooking skills can no longer keep up.

Cui Xiuyuan called back the two original chefs from their cafeteria, and the food they cooked was quite delicious and not too bad.

The head chef took inventory of the ingredients in the cafeteria and confidently said that he would have no problem making eighteen dishes.

There was only one thing: the canteen didn't have fresh sea fish, so I had to go out and buy one to make steamed fish. I also had to buy two pounds of prawns to make braised prawns.

Cui Chengze got in the car and went out to buy it without saying a word.

The canteen workers also need to eat at noon, so only one chef can be assigned to cook and the others can help him.

The chef said he would make eighteen dishes, and he really did it without any ambiguity.

Steamed fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, boiled pork slices, braised prawns, braised spareribs, stir-fried beef, fried pork slices with celery, vinegar and yam, stir-fried beans... The side dishes for these dishes took more than an hour to prepare.

By the time all the dishes are ready, it's almost time to eat.

Cui Xiuyuan arranged for everyone to sit down, while Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze were responsible for serving the dishes. Zhou Qingyan and Tao Lei wanted to help, but were held back by Cui Xiuyuan.

Now that they are here, they are all guests. How can we let them take action?

Cui Wenquan can't drink, and Zhou Jingwei can't drink either, so they simply don't drink and start eating right away.

Although Chang Ying had a laparoscopic surgery, it was still a surgery after all, and she had always eaten a light diet and had little strength, so she did not eat with them.

It's ugly to leave halfway through the meal. It's better not to go.

Tao Lei was quite nice. Seeing that Chang Ying didn't come to eat together, he picked out a few light dishes and went to find Chang Ying to eat together.

Zhou Jingwei said to Cui Wenquan, "Tao Lei is not only Qingyan's comrade-in-arms, they are also partners. This kid has a simple personality, is righteous and honest, and is very good."

"I think this child is not bad. Chang Ying's father is my fellow villager and is also a businessman. His family is well off. But there is one thing. Chang Ying's mother died early. It was not easy for her to make a living under her stepmother in the past few years. Now it's much better. She opened a cake shop and the business is good."

Zhou Jingwei said, "Tao Lei's father passed away early, and he has been dependent on his mother for so many years. We have discussed with him, and we will help him arrange his marriage. If he needs to visit Chang Ying's home, Brother Cui, you will need to help mediate at that time."

"Of course," Cui Wenquan said confidently, "This child has grown up under my nose for so many years, and we treat her like our own daughter."

During the dinner, Zhou Jingwei and Cui Wenquan brought up the engagement of Zhou Qingyan and Cui Changjia. Cui Wenquan said that they could just let the two children discuss it, as they were old and there was no need to worry so much.

The presentation of this large table of food is naturally not comparable to that of a restaurant, but the taste is very good, plus the atmosphere is harmonious, so everyone is very happy with this meal. After the meal, Zhou Qingyan's parents stayed for a while and then left.

Cui Xiuyuan did not forget to bring them gifts in return.

He asked Yao Junhua to help buy the gifts. People came with expensive gifts, and it would be inappropriate to let them go empty-handed.

On the way back, the Zhou couple were very happy.

Zhou Jingwei was still very satisfied with the Cui family. The Cui family members were very down-to-earth and knew how to behave. They were not vulgar and had great character, which was very good.

Zhu Yu said to his son, "Hurry up and set a date with Jia Jia. It would be best if you can set the date before the New Year, and try to get married on May 1st next year. By the way, don't forget to ask Jia Jia if she has any requirements and where she wants to hold the wedding banquet..."

"Mom," Zhou Qingyan interrupted his mother, "Jia Jia and I talked about engagement and marriage before, but she thought it was too much trouble. She wanted to just pick a date and get the marriage certificate, and then the two families could just have a meal together."

Her original words were, "Since we plan to grow old together, why should we give ourselves so much trouble? The less trouble the better. As long as we know that we can live a good life, that's enough."

Zhu Yu exclaimed, "This girl is really too bold."

Zhou Qingyan smiled bitterly and said, "She is not careless, she is just tired, so she doesn't want to make trouble."

Zhou Jingwei frowned and said, "Let's put aside the question of whether to get engaged or not. You must have a wedding. Everyone is watching you."

Zhu Yu said, "I don't think Jiajia is an ignorant child. You should talk to her again. We still have to have a wedding. Tell her that we have a large family and she doesn't have to worry about anything. Just let her attend the wedding."

Zhou Qingyan nodded.

Zhou Jingwei thought of something and said to Zhou Qingyan, "What happened to the Cui family's property when the fire broke out?"

Zhou Qingyan had inquired about this matter. "It was all pledged to the bank. Part of it should have been paid out."

"Which bank?"

“From the Bank of China.”

"The villa they lived in before?"

"Yes, it is the villa of the Outer Sea Family."

"Go ask someone what has happened to the villa. If it hasn't been dealt with yet, you can take it first and then transfer it to the Cui family later."

Zhou Qingyan sighed and thought to herself, Cui Changjia is very stubborn. If she knew that he accepted it first, who knows how she would quarrel with him.

"Dad, I'll take care of this matter."

Zhou Jingwei nodded. His youngest son was indeed not very sensible when he was young, but now he is becoming more and more reliable!

"Lei Zi!" Zhou Jingwei called him.

"Hey, sir!"

"I think Chang Ying is a pretty good kid, so you should hold on tight."

"Master, I will listen to you. I will go to his house to propose marriage tomorrow!"

Zhou Jingwei said with a smile, "Let Chang Ying talk to his father first, don't scare him."

Although Tao Lei looks happy, he is actually very worried inside. He usually feels good when he talks to Chang Ying on the phone, but why does he feel that she is indifferent to him when they meet today?
