Chapter 73
After seeing off her brothers, Liu Suqin's life returned to a busy and orderly routine. As her father Liu Laogen gradually adapted to the pace of life in the city, on another day off, she went directly to the driving school introduced by her cousin Deng Ge to officially start practicing driving.
Lin Nanjiang was with her.
After all, his wife has become more and more fashionable and stylish since she started working, and her vision has almost left him far behind. No matter how confident Lin Nanjiang is that their love is stronger than gold, the sense of crisis always follows him. He can't be an irremovable sticky candy like he was when they were in love, so he can only be a dog-skin plaster in the limited time and maximize his presence.
So when Liu Suqin mentioned her plan to learn to drive, Lin Nanjiang nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go learn to drive with you, we can be companions!"
Liu Suqin thought his reaction would be the same as Li Hong's, and he would be more concerned about the reason why she was learning to drive and whether she was planning to buy a car or something.
Just like what my friend said, those who can drive a sedan these days are all rich among the rich, and it is worth attracting attention no matter where they are. After all, the most common Santana on the market, which is almost everywhere, costs between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan. Many people can't earn 200,000 yuan in their entire lives. This is not a small matter. As the main earner, it is normal for Lin Nanjiang to ask about the family's financial planning.
Unexpectedly, he didn't care about this at all and just wanted to be close to her.
Yes, Lin Nanjiang's calculations were clear. He was not learning to drive for practical reasons at all, but simply wanted to be close to her.
Forget it. How could a love-brained person have any bad intentions? Liu Suqin only asked him, "Are you sure? Driving practice is not a one-day job. It takes a lot of time and energy."
"Yes, I'm sure. My dear wife, you have to work too, and you can find time to learn how to drive. As a grown man, I have to overcome the difficulties even more." Lin Nanjiang was afraid that she would disagree, so he quickly argued, "Besides, since my father-in-law came to help, it has reduced a lot of our workload. It has become easier to run the stall in the evening. I can take time out to accompany you to learn how to drive. I can do it."
He was so confident that Liu Suqin was of course happy to see it happen. "Okay, now that you've made a decision, don't regret it. We'll practice driving together and encourage each other to get our license as soon as possible."
Lin Nanjiang nodded happily, "Yes, a couple should be in good order and make progress together."
Satisfied, he took the initiative to take on the task of announcing the news to his family and friends. "I've been busy hosting my father-in-law and my second brother and his group lately, and I haven't contacted my hometown for a full two weeks. The last time I spoke, my parents told me that my second brother-in-law and my younger brother had successfully obtained their learner driver's licenses and were preparing to intern at the transport fleet of my second brother-in-law's distant relative. I don't know if their internships are going well. I took the time to call them back one of these two days to ask about their situation and let them know the good news that we're also learning to drive."
Do I need to notify my hometown even when I take the driving test?
Liu Suqin was a little speechless, but Lin Nanjiang was in high spirits, and since it was something that needed to be said sooner or later, it was harmless, so she let him go. "Okay, then when you call, don't forget to ask about my parents' health. Tell them that I've been really busy with work in the past six months. I'll have a good talk with them next time I have time. Please forgive me."
Lin Nanjiang nodded firmly. "I'll pass it on for you, but you're being too cautious, daughter-in-law. Your parents are the most considerate of you. Since you started working after the New Year, you've contacted your hometown ten times, and eleven of them were concerned about your work, worried that you were exhausted from work. They don't even care about me, their own son, that much. Even if I don't say anything, they won't mind you calling twice less."
Liu Suqin agreed with Lin Nanjiang's last statement. In the eyes of her parents-in-law and everyone in her hometown, Lin Nanjiang had the ability to earn money to support the family. She could have just stayed at home and not done anything productive under the pretext of taking care of the children, eating her husband's food with a clear conscience and being a comfortable housewife. But she didn't know how to enjoy her blessings. She hurriedly weaned the child and went out to find a job. She actually found a very unusual job. It was a bit busy, but the salary was over a thousand yuan. Many men worked themselves to death and couldn't earn half of that, but she, a woman, did it! Now, not only did she no longer eat for free at home, but she was more than enough to support the whole family.
Since learning this, Lin's parents have been extremely satisfied with their daughter-in-law. They hope she can work harder. It's not easy for ordinary people to gain a foothold in a big city. It's better for the couple to work together to make money than to put all the burden on their son's shoulders. As for their son, as a man, it's his responsibility to provide for the family. There's nothing much to say about that.
In short, Lin Nanjiang's description is not an exaggeration at all. Whenever he calls his hometown, as long as Liu Suqin is present, Lin's father and mother spend half of their time asking her about her well-being, caring about everything, and giving her earnest advice. The central idea is that work can be done slowly and sustainably, and you must not work too hard at once, otherwise you will exhaust yourself and be completely unable to work.
However, the sedan chair was carried by people, and the parents-in-law gave enough emotional value. Liu Suqin also reciprocated and told Lin Nanjiang that she cared about the health of the two elders.
Seeing someone saying that she was worried and confused, but actually with lips that were about to soar to the sky, she knew that this confession was not redundant. Lin Nanjiang was so pleased with it, he would surely convey it to Lin's father and mother in detail without missing a single word.
Furthermore, Liu Suqin could even foresee what Lin Nanjiang would say to his parents. There was no suspense and naturally no need to worry. She just put the matter aside completely as if she had completed her mission, but she didn't expect there would be a small follow-up.
After Lin Nanjiang finished talking to his parents and patiently repeated their reactions to her, on the morning before they were about to go to the driving school for practice, while everyone was enjoying breakfast, Lin Nanjiang spoke about this matter with a beaming face, "Wife, I said before that as long as you are here, my parents seem to have no son in their eyes, and only see you. This needs to be corrected. Even when you are not here, the old couple's hearts and eyes are full of you. Besides asking how much Fangfang has grown recently and what words she can say, they only care about you, wife. Even though we learned to drive together, they only praise you."
Liu Suqin was actually curious, "What are they praising me for?"
"I praise you for being virtuous, considerate, and understanding. You have to work and take care of the family, which is already very hard. Now you have to take time out to accompany me to learn how to drive. I have never seen you care for your husband and children so wholeheartedly. My mother said that they were able to meet such a good daughter-in-law like you, and I was able to marry such a good wife. Our family must have accumulated great virtue in past lives, and only then have such blessings in this life. My father also told me not to worry about them, and to pay more attention to you when I have time, so as not to let you exhaust yourself."
Liu Suqin: ...
Well, the perspective of the parents-in-law is really strange, but it also shows that her personality in her husband's family is very successful, so that whenever they make a little movement, the subconscious reaction of the parents-in-law is: It must be the third son who is causing trouble again. He really doesn't even know his own last name after making a little money. The third son's wife is just a weak and unable to take care of herself. Apart from cooperating obediently and following her husband's lead, can we expect her to resist?
As for Lin Nanjiang saying that his parents were grateful for having such a good daughter-in-law, I'm afraid what the two elders really wanted to say was that they must have burned incense in their previous life to have found a silly woman like her who puts men first. He could coax her into becoming a embryo with just a few words, and she would be more and more devoted to Lin Nanjiang. Naturally, Lin's father and mother did not hesitate to show it.
However, Liu Suqin didn't mind how her in-laws viewed her. After all, she received their caring and loving care, and that was enough. She was about to say a few humble words when her father, who was diligently working on his meal, suddenly looked up and cheerfully agreed, "You are right, my in-laws. You two have a great relationship. You discuss everything you do, even learning to drive together. Isn't this what city people call 'husband and wife follow each other'?"
Lin Nanjiang was overjoyed to hear this, and happily discussed with his father-in-law the various manifestations of his good relationship with his wife. However, Qian Jufang could not help but glare at the old man. The in-laws were thousands of miles away, so it would be fine if they couldn't see through it, but when did this old man become blind? He even followed his wife's lead. Couldn't he see that in this family, it was always their daughter who had the final say?
Seeing the father-in-law and son-in-law chatting animatedly, as if they had found a soulmate, and the daughter listening to them talking about right and wrong without changing her expression, nodding and smiling from time to time to express her agreement, Qian Juxiang was speechless and choked with emotion, feeling powerless as if everyone else was drunk and she was the only one sober.
However, Comrade Qian did not remain powerless for too long. He regained his spirits and paid attention to their itinerary for the day.
Liu Suqin patiently answered them one by one, "Yes, we can practice driving as soon as we get there in the morning. The instructor is also an old acquaintance of our fellow villager, Brother Deng. I've gone to his shop with Brother Deng to eat fried noodles a few times, and Nanjiang has met him a few times, so we've become friends. This time, we've also made an agreement with Master Wang that we'll go to the driving school early today to register and pay the fees, and he'll arrange for us to practice in the car right away."
Qian Juxiang asked again how long they would have to practice, and Liu Suqin said it depended on the situation, and practicing for one day was possible.
"Do you have time to come back for lunch at noon, or can I bring you food?"
Liu Suqin shook her head. "No, if it's inconvenient for you to go home for dinner, we can just eat nearby. I'd like to invite Master Wang along to bond with us. If you want to get your driver's license as soon as possible, a coach is crucial."
Seeing her mother was about to say something, Liu Suqin smiled and said, "Oh, Mom, Nanjiang and I are going together. We are both adults. We can eat by ourselves when we are hungry and run under the eaves when it rains. There is nothing to worry about. My dad rarely has a day off. Would you like to accompany him for a walk around our house? And take him to the supermarket to buy some food and daily necessities. My dad has been in Shenzhen for so long and has only been to the supermarket once. It's our fault. Unfortunately, Nanjiang and I are really busy, so we can only rely on you."
Qian Juxiang was so amused by the first half of her words that her frown completely relaxed. Even though she was a little dissatisfied with the second half, she just said angrily, "I wanted to take you to the driving school and check on the situation. But you, on the other hand, arranged everything for me."
Liu Suqin: "Don't worry about that. After we take two lessons, everyone will know what the driving school is like."
Lin Quansheng also said, "Aunt Qian, I'll take them there, you and Uncle Liu can rest assured."
