Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Lucky Lin Quansheng.
Liu Suqin chose this date, firstly so that she could take a break by switching shifts with her colleagues, and secondly because Lin Quansheng wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with his girlfriend before coming back this year.
During these years in Shenzhen, no matter what they did, their elder brother Lin Quansheng was always by their side, silently contributing his strength and participating in their joy throughout. He was like a family member to them.
They were all in high spirits and having a great time when they were test driving and signing the contract. In fact, Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang both felt that something was missing. When they returned home and discussed it behind closed doors, they realized that Lin Quansheng, a living person, was missing!
No wonder I felt something was odd the whole day.
Now that they had discovered it, they naturally had to make up for this regret when picking up the car. It just so happened that Lin Quansheng returned to Shenzhen after the Lantern Festival, which did not conflict with their schedule.
Liu Suqin replied to the car salesperson and told Lin Nanjiang about it when she got home. He also agreed with her decision.
Lin Quansheng, who had just returned from his father-in-law's house with a ton of bags, was so touched by their special arrangements that he announced, "Aunt Qian, don't cook tomorrow. Let's go with Nanjiang and Suqin to pick up the car. I'll treat everyone to a Western meal at noon to celebrate this happy event!"
Seeing her son-in-law grinning foolishly after hearing this, Qian Juxiang quickly declined without a word of politeness, "You young people can go on your own. Quansheng, you can also take your boyfriend, Xiao Li, to try some Western food, but we can just eat at home. Western food is so expensive and tastes so-so. There's no need to spend so much money."
Lin Quansheng insisted on treating everyone. "Last time I bought a motorcycle, Nanjiang treated all of us to a Western meal. This time, they're buying a four-wheeled car, so it's worth a bigger celebration. But that's the only high-end restaurant I know of, so we'll have to book there. Don't worry, Aunt Qian. Although I'm not as capable as Nanjiang, I still have the money to treat everyone to a Western meal."
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I know you're capable, hardworking, and you never waste money recklessly. You're a very good young man. But the situation is different now. You've settled down with your partner, and you never know when you might have a child. You have to spend money everywhere to support the family, so there's no harm in being frugal." After Qian Juxiang expressed her appreciation for Lin Quansheng, she looked at Li Xiaoqing next to her and joked, "Hey, Xiao Li, you should say something too. When a couple lives together, they can't spoil the husband. You have to help him manage the money."
Li Xiaoqing laughed cheerfully and said, "I'll listen to Aunt Qian, but Brother Quansheng's treat this time is for serious matters, not for wasting money. I'll supervise him after this meal."
She didn't know the cost standards of the Western restaurant they mentioned yet, and thought it was just a little more expensive than the McDonald's that Quansheng took her to before the New Year. At most, it cost dozens of yuan per person per day. Such a large group of people would probably spend three to five hundred yuan, which was equivalent to her monthly salary.
It was indeed very expensive, but it was not unacceptable. After all, her parents only kept 2,000 yuan of the betrothal money that Quansheng gave to her family, and put the rest in the bank. They asked her to carry the passbook with her, saying that there were many places that needed money in a big city, and she was alone there without any relatives or elders around her, so she needed to have some money in her hands to get by.
My parents also said that she didn’t have to tell Quansheng about this passbook, but if she was in urgent need of money, she couldn’t be stingy as long as it wasn’t due to bad habits like gambling. Husband and wife still had to face difficulties together.
As expected, the older you get, the more experienced you are. The day after she left home, Li Xiaoqing felt the value of her parents' advice. Now she was a wealthy woman with a five-digit fortune and was full of confidence. She didn't even take the three-digit western restaurant seriously. She responded gracefully and appropriately, and Qian Juxiang praised her again and again.
Looking at his partner's eyes, Lin Quansheng felt more and more pleased and satisfied. He thought that what the Feng Shui master said was indeed right. He had a shallow relationship with his parents in this life, and his luck was all in marriage. He and his wife had a good relationship and his children were filial. His blessings were still to come.
It would be better for him to put aside those who are not good to him, cherish the people who are truly close to him, and concentrate on managing his own family.
When Lin Quansheng made up his mind, tomorrow's itinerary was also decided. As usual, Lin Nanjiang rode his good friend's motorcycle to pick up his wife from get off work, and he couldn't wait to tell her about it on the way.
So Liu Suqin returned home, exchanged pleasantries with Lin Quansheng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and as soon as she sat down, she smiled and joked, "Boss Lin, I heard you're treating us to steak? My family are all big eaters, so we're going to spend a lot of money this time."
"Don't talk bad about me. Isn't the real Boss Lin serving you soup?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a bowl of fragrant crucian carp soup was placed in front of Liu Suqin. She immediately looked up and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
After that, he continued to tease Lin Quansheng, "From now on, this person in my family will be called Mr. Lin, and you can call him Boss Lin. Isn't it easy to tell them apart?"
Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng were both delighted by her words. After laughing, Lin Quansheng reiterated that he had money. "This time when I went to Xiaoqing's house, apart from the gifts I prepared in advance and the 12,000 yuan betrothal gift, I didn't have any money to spend afterwards. I gave Xiaoqing a red envelope on New Year's Eve, and her parents turned around and gave me a bigger one. So I'm very well off now. A Western meal won't break the bank. Just order whatever you want tomorrow."
"Brother Quansheng, I feel relieved when you say that." Liu Ping responded enthusiastically, "I haven't eaten Western food before, so I'm going to feast on it."
Lin Quansheng smiled and said, "Yes, eat as much as you can."
Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang exchanged a glance, and Lin Nanjiang asked subtly, "Why is it twelve thousand yuan?"
The amount they had agreed upon before was clearly 18,800 yuan, and he even opened an account for his good brother to deposit the betrothal money. It was impossible for him to change his mind at the last minute when he arrived at his mother-in-law's house. His buddy was not such a stingy person.
Liu Suqin also didn't think that Lin Quansheng could do such a thing, so even though they knew the occasion might not be appropriate, the couple couldn't help but hint at it.
Lin Quansheng knew what they were really curious about, and he didn't think there was anything to be shy about, so he told them openly, "This is what happened. I originally prepared a savings account with 18,000 yuan as a betrothal gift to Xiaoqing's parents, but they refused to accept it. They said they weren't the kind of people who would sell their daughter, so they didn't want so much. After some discussion, they finally compromised and the betrothal gift was set at 12,000 yuan..."
Li Xiaoqing added in her heart that her parents actually only took 2,000 yuan, and the remaining 10,000 yuan was in her hands.
Unfortunately, her mother repeatedly told her to keep it a secret for a while, spend some time with Brother Quansheng, and make sure that he was as reliable and trustworthy as he appeared to be. Only then could she take out the passbook.
Even if she wanted to share this secret again, she had to hold it in for now.
It just so happened that everyone's attention was on Lin Quansheng, and Lin Nanjiang looked at his good brother in shock. What kind of incredible luck was this? He had only heard of people breaking up because they couldn't agree on the bride price, but he had never seen anyone bargaining in the opposite direction like they did.
It really lived up to the old saying that when luck comes, nothing can stop it. Lin Nanjiang was genuinely happy for his good brother and happily punched him across the table, "You're so lucky, kid. You even have such great father-in-law and mother-in-law..."
Seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Nanjiang quickly added, "No wonder we can play together, we both have the same good fortune!"
In a word, he praised almost everyone present, and the meal was a great success for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, he watched TV for a while, then Lin Nanjiang took the tricycle keys and personally sent his good brother and his girlfriend home.
Today he also went to the train station to pick up the two people. Originally, he wanted to send them and their luggage to Lin Quansheng's house, but Li Xiaoqing's parents collected a sack of farm specialties for them. Lin Quansheng suggested that they go to their house to divide the things first, and then he and his partner would take the remaining luggage home.
However, before Liu Suqin came back, the things had already been distributed, and Qian Juxiang also classified these specialties into different categories. Those that needed to be put in the refrigerator were put in the refrigerator, and those that did not need to be preserved or refrigerated were directly put into the kitchen cabinets.
The refrigerator is still not big enough at this moment.
Lin Quansheng and Li Xiaoqing gave most of the food to them, and only kept some canned pickles that were ready to eat after opening the lids. However, there was still a lot of luggage left. Li's parents probably prepared it according to the specifications of a wedding. Not only did they buy their daughter a new outfit from head to toe, they also made a quilt for them to carry from afar.
Fortunately, we don’t need too thick quilts here. The bedding prepared by Li Xiaoqing’s parents can be put into a sack, so it’s not too hard.
But in this case, Lin Quansheng had to carry his girlfriend and luggage, and his motorcycle was not enough. Lin Nanjiang took the initiative to offer to take them on a tricycle. When he stood up, he called Liu Suqin, "Do you want to go out for a walk together?"
Liu Suqin said that she had been working for a week and didn't really want to move, even if it was just to take a bus out and then take a bus back.
Before Lin Nanjiang could feel disappointed, Liu Ping jumped out like a monkey again, "Brother-in-law, my sister isn't going, so I'll go with you."
"You want to take advantage of this opportunity to drive my three-wheeled motorcycle." Lin Nanjiang saw through his brother-in-law's plan and said generously, "If there are not many cars on the way back, I'll let you have a try."
Liu Ping cheered, "That's great! My brother-in-law is handsome and generous. I really married the right person."
Perhaps there really is a saying that goes, "There is always someone who conquers someone else." Lin Nanjiang is always humble and respectful in front of his wife and mother-in-law, but he can act like a brother-in-law only in front of his brother-in-law, giving him orders and scolding him whenever he wants. And Liu Ping actually falls for his tricks the most. The rebellious young man who even his own mother would argue with, now acts nicely and fawns over him in front of Lin Nanjiang.
Just like now, with the promise of letting him drive when he comes back, Liu Ping tried his best to charm Lin Nanjiang, and even took the initiative to pat his chest and promise, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, take me out, and leave the heavy work of carrying the luggage up and down the stairs to me. You just sit in the car and wait."
