Chapter 383 Head of the Family
When the two families were discussing marriage, the Ye family only asked for three transfers and one ring, and did not ask for a house.
Because both Lin Xiangdong and Ye Tingxue are college students, and after graduation they are assigned to work units, so they will definitely have a share of the house.
With the company as a guarantee, the house and other things are secondary. What is important is the person. When Ye Tingxue married Lin Xiangdong, she also valued this person.
The Ye family didn't mention the house, but Hu Meili took the initiative to bring it up, and suggested to Lin Xiangdong: "I didn't have the money to clean up the small yard I bought before, so I rented it out to outsiders. How about I clean up two rooms first and use them as your wedding room?"
Hu Meili didn't have enough money to redecorate the entire yard, so she could only do it step by step.
"No need. Tingxue and I have already discussed that we will rent a house next to the hospital for the time being. She will be doing an internship there. Your yard is a bit far from my school and Tingxue's hospital, so it's not very convenient." Lin Xiangdong said, "When Tingxue joins the hospital next year, she will be able to get a house. Mom, don't waste your money now."
"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas. If you have any requests, tell me and I will find a solution. Don't let the Ye family find fault with me." Hu Meili let go without hesitation.
She worried the most when she was arranging jobs for her children. Now, the futures of her three children are very stable and bright, and their marriages are naturally going smoothly.
Compared to Hu Meili's ease, the Ye family is actually a little busier.
Because the Ye family has many relatives and friends, unlike Lin Xiangdong's side, they can barely get two tables together. In addition to family members, there are teachers and classmates.
But the college students and professors at the two tables are also of great value.
Lin Xiangxi followed his eldest brother, originally to help block the wine, but he found that the relatives from the Ye family were very polite to Lin Xiangdong and he had nothing to do with it. When his eldest brother was dragged out by his father-in-law to show off, he slipped back to the table to show off his meal.
"I haven't had a banquet in a while. It smells so good."
Hu Meili stepped on his foot under the table and said, "I told you to support your big brother. Why don't you just stay here and eat!"
"Every table has toasted. It's time to eat." Lin Xiangxi muttered, "When I was accompanying my elder brother just now, I didn't embarrass him."
Ye's father holds a high position, and many people came to congratulate him, but among so many people, Lin Xiangdong is the best one in terms of temperament and appearance, not to mention that he has a high level of education, has studied abroad, and has a series of college students in his family.
Every time Ye's father introduced his son-in-law, he would not forget to introduce Lin Xiangnan's entire family.
His daughter is old and was delayed in going to the countryside, but it does not affect her finding a good son-in-law! His daughter's marriage also made Ye's father feel relieved and more proud than Lin Xiangdong.
When his eldest brother got married, Lin Xiangxi took the opportunity to take a leave and came to Beijing to attend the wedding.
After staying for two days, he had to pack up and prepare to go back in a hurry.
"I have suffered a lot for coming to the capital to have a feast."
When I came here by train, my bones were almost shaken apart. I haven't even had enough rest yet, but I have to rush back again.
"Is it that serious? I've never seen you love work so much before." Lin Xiangnan said disdainfully: "Can't you just take a few more days off?"
"I would like to ask for leave. But I am teaching the college entrance examination candidates. There are three classes for freshmen and two repeater classes. I am the one in charge of them all. They can't afford to waste time." Lin Xiangxi sighed dejectedly.
It's no wonder that with more responsibilities on his shoulders, Lin Xiangxi has become visibly more stable.
His brothers and sisters were all good at studying, which made Lin Xiangxi look like a poor student. But after all, he was admitted through the college entrance examination.
Lin Xiangxi is the only college student in the school where he teaches. As soon as he arrived at the school, the principal gave him the heaviest teaching task.
"Sister, can you give me another copy of the college entrance examination application guide that you gave me before? I lost the one you gave me that year." Lin Xiangxi said eagerly.
"Okay, I'll find time to write one for you later."
When he was admitted to university, he lost not only the application guide, but also his high school study materials, and no one knew where they went.
Now that he is a teacher, he realizes how valuable those learning materials were.
Compared with the special tutoring Lin Xiangnan gave him, the learning resources in school were really too few. There was only one textbook, and there was no test paper collection at all.
When he didn’t do well in the college entrance examination, Lin Xiangxi was just afraid. Now, he feels remorseful.
"Sister, you must have spent a long time writing such a thick document. You were afraid that I would read the wrong words, so you copied it in the most standard regular script, just like it was printed. You took so much trouble, but I still didn't do well in the exam. I was really disappointing back then!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiangnan looked at him, sneered and said, "It's too late to know now. All the beatings you received back then were not in vain."
Lin Xiangxi gave a dry laugh and didn't dare to argue.
After personally teaching the students in the repeat class, Lin Xiangxi discovered that many students in the class were very smart, at least smarter than he was back then, and could understand things with just a little guidance. The reason they did not do well in the college entrance examination was simply that they did not have enough learning resources.
After the comparison, Lin Xiangxi could clearly feel that he was forced into university by Lin Xiangnan's cramming teaching method.
But his foundation was too poor, and no matter how good his strategy of solving a large number of questions was, it could only give him a junior college degree.
Now that he is a teacher, he also wants to replicate Lin Xiangnan's teaching experience, so he collects high school study materials from his family members one by one.
Gu Laoliu donated a bunch of question sets from that year, and Lin Xiangdong and Ye Tingxue also gave their study notes from that time.
"Although I am just one person, I have a team of famous teachers behind me!" Lin Xiangxi praised: "This new sister-in-law also gave me a lot of information. She is a very nice person."
Lin Xiangxi was used to being rude to his family members, so there was nothing much to praise. The only person he could praise was Ye Tingxue, the new member of the family.
"My sister-in-law is so gentle and virtuous! My brother got caught in a little rain yesterday, and when he got home, my sister-in-law surrounded him and asked if he was cold, urged him to change his clothes, and even made ginger tea for him in advance! When I get married in the future, I want to marry someone like her!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiangxi held his chin with both hands, his eyes sparkling, and began to imagine his sweet love in the future.
Although Lin Xiangdong is married, their family does not live together. What Lin Xiangxi sees is just the surface, after all, they have little contact with each other.
Lin Xiangnan hesitated for a moment, but didn't tell the truth. He suppressed his smile and said, "Yes. Sister-in-law is very gentle. You should look for someone like this in the future, and you will be happy."
"Yes!" Lin Xiangxi nodded heavily.
Anyway, he would definitely not look for someone like Hu Meili and Lin Xiangnan. He accepted being suppressed at home for so many years. But in the future, he must change his family status. He wants to be the head of the family!
