Chapter 33 Get the Certificate First
Lin Xia agreed: "Mom, this red date cake won't last long, it has to be eaten right away." After all, there was no refrigerator, so it was better to eat it early.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let Lin Jianguo send some to Xiaoxue tomorrow." Mother Lin missed her eldest daughter a little after not seeing her for a long time.
The eldest daughter got married last year and has not been home for half a year except during the Chinese New Year. Mother Lin is worried about her, but she can't just go there directly, so she has to ask the younger generation to go over to see her.
The eldest daughter married well. Her son-in-law is a projectionist, which was a very popular job in those days. When my daughter got married, I don’t know how many sour words the neighbors said behind her back.
She had heard a lot, but although her son-in-law was well-off and treated her daughter well, his mother-in-law was not so good. Fortunately, the mother-in-law lived with her eldest son in the countryside, and the young couple lived alone in a house in the city, otherwise she would be worried.
Thinking about the fact that her youngest daughter was about to get married, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as by then all she would be left with were bad boys.
Living room, it's dinner time again.
"Tomorrow you should get up early and take some red date cakes to Xiaoxue's house. How come she hasn't come back for several months?" Mother Lin said to her son worriedly.
Lin Jianguo nodded when he heard this and planned to get up early the next day and ride his father's bike. It would only take half an hour to get there and it wouldn't delay him from going to work.
Lin Xia waited for Lin's mother to finish speaking, then whispered that Lu Yuxiu would come to propose marriage tomorrow.
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised that it happened so quickly, but when they heard that it was a marriage report, they thought it was normal.
After some calculation, I realized that it had been a few days since the blind date, so I was no longer surprised.
This is how dating works at this time. If you fall in love at first sight, it’s not far from getting married.
Everyone started talking about marriage, and Lin's father and mother decided to take a day off tomorrow and stay at home to wait for the proposal.
Others went to work as usual. The proposal at that time was just to agree on the wedding date, and it did not involve a large-scale mobilization like in later generations.
Early the next morning.
Lin Jianguo took the red date cake, rode his father's bicycle and went out.
Lin Xue married in Beijing, and the couple was allocated a house in a hutong compound, which took half an hour to get there by bike.
Unlike the single small courtyard of the Lin family, that kind of large courtyard is home to several families, and they were allocated two rooms, which was more than enough for a young couple.
Lin Jianguo is also a tall man of 1.8 meters. He has been working in a factory for many years and is very strong. He can ride a bicycle very fast. A journey of half an hour can be reached in 20 minutes by one person.
Not long after Lin Jianguo left, Lu Yuxiu and Lu Xiaohui arrived at Lin's house.
Looking at the gate of the Lin family, Lu Xiaohui couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It's really hard to explain the matter of chemistry.
Last night, her nephew suddenly came to their house and the first thing he said was that he wanted to go to the Lin family to propose marriage. She was shocked. It was the first time she saw her nephew so anxious. She felt both funny and distressed. The child was finally moved.
Lin's mother didn't expect him to come so early, so she could only quickly lead him into the house and shouted for Lin's father to come and pick him up.
When the two families sat down, it was a familiar scene. Last time it was a meeting of parents, but this time they came to discuss the wedding date.
Lu Xiaohui thought again of what her nephew had expressed. The main idea was that he hoped to get back home as soon as possible. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard it, but she also understood that she didn't know when he would come to visit his family next time, and if he was on a mission, that would be an extremely long time.
Lin Xia watched them sit down, then sat quietly aside, shy and silent, waiting for her parents to come out.
Lu Xiaohui looked at the shy little girl next to her and spoke first, "It is a blessing for us Yu Xiu to meet your Xiao Xia. I hope the two of them can live happily together in the future."
Lin's father and mother nodded in agreement. The child was indeed very kind to his daughter. Although she was a little older, they felt she was so steady.
Seeing that Lin's father and mother nodded in agreement, Lu Xiaohui proposed again: "Although it is indeed a bit too fast to say so, because Yu Xiu's nature is different, this marriage must be settled earlier."
"Well... so after getting married you have to join the army right away?" Lin's father asked hesitantly. It's not that he had any problem with Lu Yuxiu, but he just didn't want his daughter to leave home so soon.
Lu Yuxiu immediately knew what Father Lin wanted to ask, and explained, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, the reason we decided to get married as soon as possible is because my family visit is almost over, so I wanted to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible."
"As for following the army, you can wait until I return to the army to clean up the house. Comrade Lin Xia can go there later, and I will come back to pick her up." Lu Yuxiu promised. He had already thought about the rest of the matter.
After hearing the explanation, Lin's father and mother no longer felt that the time was short. They were afraid that after getting the marriage certificate tomorrow, they would have to go to join the army immediately.
But if this is the case, then we really need to settle it first. If Comrade Lu just goes back to the army, I don’t know what changes will happen to his marriage.
Lin's father and mother no longer hesitated. They looked at Lin Xia, who was sitting aside with her head down shyly. When they saw her nod, they also nodded in agreement.
When Lu Yuxiu saw this, a light flashed in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a different aura than before.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaohui pushed the gifts on the table and took the initiative to ask, "This marriage is indeed a bit too hasty. Three transfers and one ring are certain. As for other aspects of the betrothal gifts, we will do our best to meet your requirements."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard this, they were also shocked by the generosity of the Lu family.
"Comrade Lu has already bought the watch. Since he will be joining the army later, it is not easy to take other things with him. Let them arrange them themselves." Father Lin said.
"As for the betrothal gift, we don't want too much. Let's choose a lucky number, ninety-nine. What do you think?" Father Lin said after thinking for a while. He and his wife had discussed this a long time ago. The family didn't want the betrothal gifts, and even the betrothal gift would be given to their daughter.
Lu Xiaohui nodded quickly and said it was no problem. This amount of gift money was not considered generous in a family like theirs, and they would definitely not give just this much. But she was still moved by the sincerity of Lin's father and mother.
He turned his head to look at Lin Xia who was sitting on the side, and asked the little girl who had said nothing, "Comrade Xiao Lin, you can ask for anything you want."
After listening to Lin's father's words, Lin Xia felt warm in her heart. Even though she was not the original owner, she was still moved by this kind of care, even if this care was stolen.
Mother Lin saw this and said, "Then let them go to the room and sit down. Let's discuss the date?"
Lu Xiaohui quickly agreed.
Lin Xia took Lu Yuxiu to her room with a shy look on her face.
The room was not big. After the man came in, it seemed that the air became scarce. Lin Xia suddenly felt a little hot.
She sat on the bed and Lu Yuxiu sat on a stool.
In this kind of room, with a bed next to it, and two men and women who are about to get married, when they look into each other's eyes, an ambiguous atmosphere automatically spreads in the air.
Lin Xia looked at the man's deep eyes, her heart trembled involuntarily, and she looked away as if avoiding him.
The man looked at the little girl with eyes full of smiles and shyness. He felt satisfied and said firmly in his magnetic voice: "I will protect you with my life and country!"
After hearing this, Lin Xia felt as if her heart was soaked in warm water and was moved by the man's words.
"I believe you." At this moment, Lin Xia looked at the man's eyes and chose to believe in someone for the first time.
"Do what you say. If you let me down, I will run away from you." Lin Xia said truthfully. That's what she thought. If she had her life to live again, she would live bravely and boldly.
This is also the reason why she accepted him so quickly. Even if she was accidentally attracted by this man, she would never lose herself.
