Chapter 97 Chapter 97 A well-behaved and beautiful child.
Lin Quansheng went to his mother-in-law's house with his girlfriend last year, and this year he plans to take his new wife back to his own home.
This is also the reason why he and Lin Nanjiang hit it off so well and kept working until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month before they were willing to call it a day.
In the past two years, Lin Quansheng has been reluctant to return to his hometown.
But he couldn't not go back. He and Li Xiaoqing were a serious couple, and their relationship was not something to be embarrassed about. Now his girlfriend was almost five months pregnant, and it was time for him to take his new wife back to meet his parents-in-law.
Yes, Lin Quansheng’s way of dealing with his parents was to make things a done deal.
He also wanted to follow the normal process, first bring his partner home to meet his parents, and if both parents have no objection, they can start the marriage discussion process, get the marriage certificate, hold a wedding banquet, and visit the elders and relatives of both sides, then enter the married life with the blessings of relatives and friends, and strive to have two children in three years.
But this is impossible. With the way his parents act, they will try every possible means to ruin the marriage as soon as they find that they cannot control him through their daughter-in-law, and the subsequent process will not be able to proceed at all.
In my hometown, there is still the idea that marriages are decided by parents and by matchmakers. Since they occupy the status of parents, it is very easy for them to cause trouble. His mother only needs to cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide, and then all the relatives and neighbors will persuade him to listen to his parents.
But if he got on the bus first and bought the ticket later, and took his wife and children back directly, the situation would be different.
Following the principle of "it is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage", the villagers will also help persuade his parents to accept the marriage. After all, the girl has given birth to his child and they can't force the child back. Even if the parents are not satisfied, they should accept it for the sake of their grandchildren. It would be abnormal if his mother continued to make a fuss.
Therefore, as long as his parents still want to live in the village, they have to accept this daughter-in-law.
Perhaps the villagers would point fingers at him and Xiaoqing and talk about them in private, and his parents would not be happy about it behind closed doors, but Lin Quansheng no longer cared.
Before he decided to take the pregnant woman back to his hometown this time, he talked to Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang alone.
Liu Suqin helped him to summarize his purpose at that time. He just wanted to bring his wife back home to live a clear life. It didn't matter whether his family was satisfied with the person he found or not, but they and the relatives and neighbors around them had to acknowledge Xiaoqing's identity and let everyone know that she was his legitimate wife, not some casual woman with no status.
After understanding his true needs, Lin Quansheng's mind became clear as if the fog had been cleared. He figured out what was going on without Lin Nanjiang and Liu Suqin reminding him. He no longer cared about the reactions and attitudes of his so-called parents and family.
Lin Quansheng, who had come to terms with it, even gave up the idea of going back to his hometown to hold a wedding banquet. This time he would bring his wife back and get the red envelopes from the elders. In the future, he could go back to his hometown whenever he wanted. After saving some money in two years, he would hold a wedding for his wife in Shenzhen, the kind where they would wear a wedding dress and shoot a video.
The venue was arranged to be a big hotel, and Suqin was asked to do makeup for his wife. He also wanted to invite a few fellow villagers who worked here to come for a drink, so that they could go back and promote the business during the New Year. Then he would invite his wife's parents and sister to attend the wedding and let her stay at their house for a while. Isn't this more fashionable and decent than holding a wedding in his hometown?
As soon as Lin Quansheng shared this idea, he received enthusiastic support from his good friends. Lin Nanjiang patted him on the shoulder, blessing him and expressing his envy. "You're so lucky! If only we hadn't had a wedding banquet, we could have had a proper wedding like they show on TV, with a lawn wedding."
"Okay, I promise to make Xiaoqing look so beautiful that you won't be able to take your eyes off her." Liu Suqin also took the order with a smile, and reminded her of the household registration issue. Since she didn't want to get entangled with her family, she could move her household registration here when she went back to get the marriage certificate, so that there would be fewer hidden dangers in the future.
Lin Quansheng liked this proposal very much. In addition to making money during this period, he also found someone to complete the preparations before settling down with the accompaniment of Lin Nanjiang. Now everything is ready, and he is just waiting to go back to get the household registration book at home to go through the procedures.
So when Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang escorted them to the train station, Lin Quansheng, who had previously been dejected and listless in front of his family, was now full of fighting spirit, as if he was heading to a battlefield. Without waiting for their instructions, he patted his chest and promised, "Nanjiang, sister-in-law, I will take good care of Aunt Qian and Uncle Liu on the way. They will return the same way after the New Year. Not a single hair will be missing. Don't worry."
Qian Juxiang said bluntly, "You have only one task, take good care of your wife Xiaoqing, we can take care of ourselves."
Then he turned to look at Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang, "You two too, your first priority is to take good care of Fangfang. Come back when you're done playing outside. Don't overdo it. You're not children. How can you go out and play during the New Year instead of going home?"
After saying that, he picked up his luggage and strode into the ticket gate without looking back, with a dashing back.
The reluctance to part? Not there.
If her granddaughter was here, Qian Juxiang would definitely say a few soft words in a low voice, preferably to coax the little darling to go home with them for the New Year, and let this careless couple of parents go out and play by themselves. They can have fun however they want, as long as they don't bother her precious granddaughter.
But it was only five in the morning, and the little guy was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Without the protection of their daughter, Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang naturally did not get a good treatment in front of Comrade Qian Juxiang. The other party's tone was very rude, and she almost rolled her eyes.
However, Liu Suqin didn't care about her mother's attitude at all. She just let her say what she wanted and live her own life.
After watching the large group successfully check their tickets and enter the station, the couple standing there looked at each other, got back into their respective cars, and then drove away.
Liu Suqin returned home as quickly as possible, made sure the child was still asleep, and then went back to the living room to check the suitcase to see if there were any necessities left behind.
They are also leaving today, with a flight to the island at around 10:00 am. It is best to leave for the airport two hours in advance, as they don't have much time left.
Lin Nanjiang, who arrived home a few minutes later, saw this scene and did not tell her to go back to sleep. Instead, he asked consciously whether he should wake up his daughter now.
Liu Suqin lowered her voice, "I just went to check on her, she was sound asleep. I left the door ajar, and she woke up on her own and made noises, which I could hear in the living room."
Lin Nanjiang also lowered his voice and said, "Then I'll go prepare breakfast first?"
Liu Suqin nodded, "Just keep it simple."
Lin Nanjiang made an OK gesture and tiptoed to the refrigerator to find something to eat.
The normal communication was turned into a meeting between the two of them, which looked very secretive. However, when Xiao Fangfang came out of the room rubbing her eyes, the two of them immediately returned to normal.
In front of their children, the couple still has to save face.
Liu Suqin picked up her daughter and took her to wash herself.
She hadn't taken care of the children herself many times this year, so her movements were a little clumsy. Fortunately, Xiao Fangfang had a good temper and had learned to brush her teeth by herself. When Liu Suqin accidentally used too much force when wiping her face, or pulled her scalp when combing her hair, she would just frown and say in a baby voice that it hurt. Liu Suqin would reduce the force in time, and she would not care.
Halfway through washing up, the child finally woke up. Looking at the person who was braiding her hair, she excitedly shouted, "Mom!"
Liu Suqin also responded patiently, "Baby, why are you calling mommy?"
Xiao Fangfang didn't answer, but called out "Mom" a few more times. When she looked at her with sparkling eyes, Liu Suqin knew that the child was simply happy to be close to her mother, so she coaxed her softly, "Mom will braid a beautiful flower bud for my sweet baby, okay?"
Fangfang didn't know what a flower bud was, but she thought it must be beautiful since her mom had knitted it herself! She immediately nodded in confidence and said yes, then looked at her intently for a long while, as if she had finally confirmed that her mom would always be home with her. The little one stopped staring at her and instead blinked her big eyes, looking around, "Grandma, Grandma—"
"Grandma and Grandma are home for the New Year. Mom and Dad promised to take our son to see the ocean and learn how to swim this year. Did you forget?"
After her mother’s patient reminder, the child finally remembered and stopped looking for her most familiar grandmother and Grandma Zhang. Instead, she clapped her hands with a happy face and said, “Remember, take a plane with Mom and Dad!”
"Yes, after dinner, let's go take a plane and see the blue sky and white clouds."
Obviously, for Xiao Fangfang, going to the island to swim is not a strange thing. She can still watch the sea and play with sand in Shenzhen. What she looks forward to most in this trip is taking a plane with her parents. When she talked about this, she started asking a million questions and kept asking her mother all kinds of questions.
Unfortunately, Liu Suqin didn't know much to begin with, and the children's questions were strange and tricky, so she didn't know anything after a while.
Xiao Fangfang, who didn't get much help, was not discouraged. She packed up and changed her clothes. The family of three sat at the dining table and ate a simple but warm breakfast. She took the opportunity to ask her father some questions.
Lin Nanjiang spread his hands casually, "Sorry, my daughter, Dad has never been on a plane, so I don't know these things."
The little guy puffed up his cheeks, not wanting to accept this reality, "Dad is awesome."
"Dad isn't that great. He doesn't know a lot of things."
Liu Suqin spoke up to comfort them in time, "Mom and Dad don't know everything. We need to learn a lot of things slowly. Just like this time on a plane, it's the first time for both Mom and Dad and Fangfang. We can learn and explore together. If there's anything we don't understand, we can go to the staff together to find out, okay?"
The child couldn't fully understand what was said, but she understood it and was learning with her parents, which made her feel curious and excited. From then on, from the moment she left the house to the airport lobby, she kept her eyes wide open observing the environment. When her parents asked the staff about the specific boarding and check-in procedures, she pricked up her ears. Although she didn't understand, she nodded like her parents, acting like a diligent and studious baby, which made the staff and passengers around her fall in love with her.
The family of three completed the formalities smoothly and passed through security. While they were taking various photos in the waiting room, a young man on the same flight came over and asked if they wanted to take a family photo. He said he could help, and while they were taking photos, he took the opportunity to hold little Fangfang in a photo.
Beautiful children who don't make any noise are really adorable. After they got on the plane, the beautiful stewardesses came to serve them more frequently, bringing drinks, meals and blankets from time to time, and someone even gave the child the snacks and chocolates she had prepared herself. Before landing, the flight attendant also gave the child an exquisite airplane model, saying it was a gift to reward the most obedient and best child on the entire flight. The praise made the little guy very happy, and he sat even more obediently and straighter.
