Chapter 70: The Husband’s Appearance, the Wife’s Glory
The next day, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan went to a department store to buy gifts: two bottles of liquor, two boxes of cakes, two packs of tea, two packs of candy, and two cartons of cigarettes.
Shen Guannan, "Wife, I need to go buy some meat or fish. Where is the supply and marketing cooperative here?"
Lin Shuyin: "Is this enough?"
It looks like a lot, including cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea.
Shen Guannan, "You have to buy the same amount of meat."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy pork and fish. It was already past eleven o'clock, and it was time for Lin's father and mother to get off work.
Lin Shuyin led Shen Guannan into the machinery factory compound and bumped into many familiar faces. "Oh, Shuyin is back!"
"Is this your partner?"
"Oh, this boy is so handsome, tall and handsome!"
The eyes of those uncles, aunts, and uncles and aunts were all shining when they looked at Shen Guannan. They heard that the second daughter of the old Lin family had found a partner for the battalion commander, and when they saw him today, he was indeed a good candidate.
Tall and handsome!
The Lin family is amazing. The second daughter found a partner who is a battalion commander, and the third daughter found a partner who is the son of a factory director. How could they be so good at finding partners? This is how they find partners.
The appearance of the husband, the glory of the wife, Lin Shuyin finally realized this sentence today, and she was a little proud at this time.
Look, such a nice and handsome man is hers!
It belongs to Lin Shuyin, and it has already been stamped.
She smiled happily, "Yes, Auntie, my parents are back, right?"
"I'm back, I'm back. Come on up."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Tsk tsk, this guy is really good."
The old lady was praising it before she left.
Lin Shuyin was very happy. She walked into the corridor and said to Shen Guannan, "Guannan, lower your head."
Shen Guannan didn't understand, "Hmm"
Lin Shuyin kissed him and said, "I love you so much."
Shen Guannan was surprised and smiled, "Wife, I love you too."
Lin Shuyin was in a good mood. "Let's go. I'll take you to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Roger that, Chief."
Captain Shen was also very happy to be kissed by his wife.
The Lin family's house was on the third floor. Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan walked up to the third floor. Just as they were about to knock on the door, someone opened the door. It was Lin's mother.
"Oh, third child!" Lin's mother was shocked.
Lin Shuyin smiled, "It's my mother."
Mother Lin quickly glanced at Shen Guannan behind Lin Shuyin and said enthusiastically, "Come in, come in. How long will it take you to arrive?"
Lin Shuyin, "Ten o'clock last night."
"I thought you were at work in the morning, so I came over at noon."
"Shuyin is back!" Father Lin and elder brother Lin also came over.
Lin Shuyin, "Dad, big brother."
Then he introduced, "Mom and Dad, this is Guannan, your son-in-law."
Shen Guannan smiled, "Hello, Mom and Dad."
Lin's father and mother smiled, "Oh, good, good."
I have to say that the third son is very good at finding a partner. Look at this tall and handsome young man. He looks so good and has the best image among the three sons-in-law.
Lin's father and mother were very satisfied.
Lin Shuyin then introduced, "Guan Nan, my elder brother."
Shen Guannan smiled, "Hello, brother."
Lin Jianye smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
This brother-in-law has such a strong aura.
Father Lin: "Come, come, sit down."
Mother Lin was busy making tea.
"I was talking to your dad a few days ago, saying that you should be arriving in the next two days, and your eldest brother is worried that you won't be able to catch up with him to get married."
Lin Shuyin looked at Lin Jianye, "Big brother is getting married? How long?"
Lin Jianye, "Hold the banquet the day after tomorrow."
Lin's mother said to Lin's father, "I won't go to the factory this afternoon. Please ask for leave for me until the day after tomorrow."
Her daughter and son-in-law came from afar, so she had to entertain them when they came for the first time. Her son was getting married the day after tomorrow, so she could just invite them the day after tomorrow.
Father Lin: "Okay, I'll go and treat you in the afternoon." He would also treat you if possible.
"Have you two eaten?" asked Lin's mother.
Shen Guannan, "We've already eaten, Mom. We ate around nine o'clock."
Lin Jianye said with a smile, "Is this breakfast or lunch for you two?" Lin Shuyin, "We have breakfast and lunch together."
Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Jianye had just gotten off work and hadn't had lunch yet. "You guys are just chatting. I'll go prepare lunch."
"I just got off work and haven't eaten yet." Lin's mother said with a smile.
In the past, Lin Shuyin brought meat, fish, and other things to the kitchen.
"Mom, how many dishes are you going to cook?"
Mother Lin, "How about six cold dishes? Pickled fish, twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, mapo tofu, and a cold dish."
"I'm a bit rushed at noon today. There's only tofu, Chinese cabbage, and dried black fungus at home. There's nothing else. Let's have dinner in the evening. I'll make something delicious in the evening."
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay."
Six dishes are OK.
"By the way, where is Shuyi? Where is she?"
Lin Shuyi was not at home. Lin's mother said, "She must have gone on a date with her boyfriend."
Lin Shuyin: "Did she find a partner?"
Lin's mother said, "We talked about it. Your eldest sister introduced him to the son of the director of a textile factory. I think you two will find a partner."
"You're the best at finding a partner."
Mother Lin thinks that her second daughter is like her. When she was young, she also did great things quietly and told her family about it after things were done. The second daughter is as smart as her.
When it comes to finding a partner, the student is even better than the teacher.
Lin Shuyin was surprised, "Mom, are you telling me that Shuyi chose the son of a factory director as his target, the son of a textile factory director?"
Mother Lin: "Yes, this marriage was originally yours. Your eldest sister wanted to introduce you to someone, but you joined the army, so forget it."
Awesome! Really awesome!
Without her involvement, would Lin Shuyi and Zhou Jianguo be together directly?
"By the way, how old is Guannan's child?"
Lin Shuyin: “26.”
Lin's mother: "26, seven years older than you?"
Lin Shuyin, "Well, what's wrong?"
Mother Lin shook her head and said, "It's okay. He is old and kind."
If the lady was looking for an ordinary person, an ordinary employee, then she would not be so proud, but the lady was looking for a battalion commander, who also had such good looks.
Lin Shuyin said, "Mom, he is not that old, only seven years older."
Lin's mother: "Yes, yes, not big. How is your brother?"
"He's quite good. I have a comrade from the same village as him. My comrade's uncle is the village captain, so he arranged an easy job for him, just herding cattle every day."
Mother Lin said, "Oh, okay, since you two siblings are in the same place, you should help each other out."
Lin Shuyin said, "Well, you don't have to worry about it. When I give birth to a baby, I will ask him to take care of it for me. You can't help me anyway."
This shocked Lin's mother, "Are you pregnant?"
Lin Shuyin, "You won't get pregnant in the future. You will get pregnant sooner or later."
Lin's mother, "You scared me. By the way, how much did he give you as a betrothal gift?"
Lin Shuyin held up three fingers, "Three hundred."
Lin's mother: "That's quite a lot."
"Shuyin's mom is telling you that your parents won't accept the betrothal gift from your partner. You two should keep it. As for the dowry, it's too expensive. Your parents won't prepare any for you."
"If you want to get it, just use the betrothal gift to buy it. Your eldest sister's dowry was bought with her betrothal gift anyway."
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yeah, I got it, Mom."
