In Erwa's opinion, sterilization was no big deal. After all, the kids in the alley were stupid and he couldn't help but hit them on the head every time he helped them with their homework.
As proud as Erwa is, he has never thought that he would meet a girl in the future who would make him want to have children.
So in his opinion, there is no benefit in having children, but there are many advantages to not having children. When his brother got a sterilization, he never stopped him.
But he found that his sister suddenly became upset when she heard this.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Erwa asked curiously.
Lin Minjun didn't know what was wrong with her, but her mind suddenly went blank. She parked her bike on the side of the road, her mind going blank.
"You said your brother went to the hospital for a sterilization? Right now?" Lin Minjun confirmed again.
Erwa didn't understand, "Yes, he told me when he left this morning."
"Do you know which hospital it is?"
Erwa: "It should be in the health center, which is the closest to us."
Lin Minjun took two deep breaths and immediately said to Erwa, "We are not far from here. Can you walk back by yourself? Go to my kitchen and get two kilograms of rice and go to Aunt Cao's house for dinner. I have something to do now."
"Of course, I can. My way to school is even farther than this." Erwa said as he got out of the car. After walking a few steps, he still felt uneasy. "Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Don't play too much outside. Let's talk about it when we get home." Lin Minjun said, and when she saw Erwa walking away, she got on her bike and quickly went to the clinic.
Arriving at the hospital, Lin Minjun parked the car at the door and went around the nurses' desk asking if anyone had seen a tall, thin man coming in for a vasectomy.
The nurse sees so many people every day. She tried hard to recall, "Today, there were quite a lot of people who came for sterilization, some were thin and some were tall. I don't know who you are talking about."
"Then I'll go in and look for it myself."
The nurse was horrified. "Hey, comrade, you can't go in there. There are all gay men with their pants off. You can only stay in the corridor. You can't go in. That's hooliganism."
Lin Minjun was sweating and looked around the corridor, but didn't see Yan Lige.
However, a few men who were waiting for sterilization looked as if they had seen a ghost. They guarded their belts and quietly slipped to the wall.
The way he looked at her was as if he was looking at a female hooligan.
Lin Minjun suppressed her shyness and bravely walked around the corridor again.
Because of what the nurse said, she didn't dare to go in and waited at the doors of the two clinics for a while. She found that the person coming out was not Yan Li.
Now she was anxious, not knowing whether Yan Lige was on the operating table or went to the toilet? Or, had he finished the operation and returned home?
Lin Minjun waited for a while but didn't find anyone. The nurse had come to tell her twice, so she had to leave first.
Standing at the entrance of the hospital, the warm sunlight shone on her body, making her feel warm. There was also a big fat cat sleeping at the entrance of the hospital, a big fat black and white cat, sleeping with its belly spread out on the flower bed, and at this moment it was looking at her lazily with its eyes open.
Lin Minjun looked at the fat cat, she felt like crying but had no tears.
During a quarrel at home in the previous life, Lu Deping said in anger that he would get a sterilization and would never rush around to have children again.
But in the end, they were stopped by Lu's mother. She insisted on telling them, as a medical worker, that sterilization was not good for men.
They were told that vasectomy would hurt the body, that they would have back pain after the operation, and so on and so forth. They were told that for the sake of family planning, the doctors in the hospital would not tell them these things.
Lin Minjun can no longer remember what happened afterwards. The only thing she can remember now is the ligation.
Lin Minjun could probably guess that Brother Yan Li went for a sterilization probably for her sake, because she said she didn't want to have children, so he went for a sterilization.
How could he do that? He just left without even saying hello.
Lin Minjun slowly squatted on the ground, feeling dizzy.
After a while, he stood up with heavy steps, pushed his bicycle out of the hospital, and looked at both sides of the street as he walked.
She still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that Brother Yan Li had not yet completed the surgery and was just going out for a walk while waiting, so that she could run into him.
As she walked, Lin Minjun suddenly noticed that the person standing at the door of a small restaurant on the side of the road looked especially like Yan Li.
She thought she was dazzled, but after a careful look, she was completely sure that the man was Yan Li!
Yan Li was standing on the side of the road talking to someone. Opposite him stood a middle-aged man with gray hair on both sides. The two were chatting animatedly.
Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around vigilantly and saw Lin Minjun with eyes as red as a rabbit, standing behind him pushing a cart.
He was stunned for a moment, "Ajun, what's wrong with you?"
The moment she heard his voice, Lin Minjun's tears burst out and she couldn't stop them.
She didn't know why she was crying. She wasn't sad, she just felt a sour feeling in her heart. The sour feeling suddenly came up to her nose, and tears fell involuntarily.
She cried so suddenly and so hard that she burst into sobs. She sobbed and spoke, "Are you here for surgery? Is it finished?"
Yan Li understood immediately and could only comfort the crying little animal, "It hasn't been done yet."
"I don't believe it." Lin Minjun glared at him with red eyes. Her eyes were not fierce, but rather like a little rabbit that was cornered and wanted to bite.
She didn't even notice that there was someone in front of Yan Li. She went up to him and checked him over. She found no smell of medicine and no gauze, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s probably too late to do it.
"What surgery? Xiao Li, are you feeling unwell?" A man's voice sounded in my ear.
Lin Minjun was stunned for a moment and raised her head stiffly. Only then did she realize that there was a man in front of her. Although the man's hair was white, he was righteous and had an aura of majesty without even getting angry. He was staring at the two of them in confusion.
This man's nickname is Yan Lige, so it's obvious that he knows him and he's an elder.
She actually cried like this in front of her elders, her face looked like a harlequin cat!
Lin Minjun realized belatedly that she was embarrassed and her throat was rolling. She didn't know what to say and looked at Yan Li for help.
She didn't know who this elder was, what to address him, and she didn't know how to resolve the current awkward situation.
"It's a misunderstanding." Yan Li's voice was gentle, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe Lin Minjun's tears.
He didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all, instead he smiled.
He smiled and said to the man opposite him: "I am not feeling unwell. She is just worried that I misunderstood her. Don't worry, Uncle Gu."
Gu Zhongyuan looked at the young couple opposite him with a tolerant look: "Then I feel relieved. Is this your partner?"
"Yes." Yan Li said.
Gu Zhongyuan jokingly said, "Then you have to comfort her. She was crying so hard just now! I was so scared that I thought something was wrong with you."
This was a joke, which immediately resolved the awkward situation.
Yan Li introduced the two people to each other, and first introduced Lin Minjun to the elder: "Formally introduce, Uncle Gu, this is my fiancée Lin Minjun."
Then he introduced the elder to Lin Minjun: "Ah Jun, this is an old friend of my parents. His last name is Gu. You can just follow me and call him uncle."
By this time, Lin Minjun had calmed down. Although her eyes were still red, she greeted him in a generous manner, "Hello, Uncle Gu."
When Gu Zhongyuan heard that it was his fiancée, he looked at Lin Minjun more carefully.
But he didn't look at me for long, just a quick glance. He nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You called me uncle, I can't bear it for nothing. I should give you a gift when we meet for the first time, but I was in a hurry to go out today, so give me a red envelope."
"No, no, no, I can't accept it." Lin Minjun quickly declined.
I don’t know what this Uncle Gu does, but he has very strong hands and is very skillful. Before Lin Minjun could see clearly how he did it, the red envelope was already in her hands.
She knew it was a lot of money as soon as she touched it, and looked at Yan Li in confusion.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Uncle Gu gave it to me, so just keep it."
Lin Minjun had no choice but to put it away and stood quietly by the side listening to their conversation.
At this time, I heard Uncle Gu ask, "How is your job now, Xiao Li? Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it. My colleagues are very nice and my leaders are also very good to me," said Yan Li.
Gu Zhongyuan nodded and said, "If you encounter any problems at work that you can't solve, you can come to me. I still have the same address as before. Do you remember it?"
"I remember."
Gu Zhongyuan: "In my position, I can't help you get in through the back door, but I also have many years of experience as a criminal police officer. If you have any questions, you can come to me and we can discuss it together."
The two of them started chatting about their work.
After listening for a while, Lin Minjun realized that the uncle Gu sitting opposite her actually had a very important status. He was the head of Yan Li's superior unit.
But they have made it very clear that it is impossible to use backdoors, not even through family relatives, and everything must be done according to rules and regulations.
However, if you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, you can come and ask for advice and discuss them together.
After asking about work, Gu Zhongyuan asked another question, "I see that you have a good relationship. Do you have any thoughts on getting married? When do you plan to get married?"
Yan Li couldn't help himself when he said this, and smiled as he spoke, "We will go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and plan to hold the wedding in a while. I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet then."
"We're getting the marriage certificate tomorrow?" Gu Zhongyuan was stunned, then he smiled, "Good things are coming, this is great news! Good things!"
He was so happy that he kept saying, "I'm so happy for you and your parents when I heard the news. How about this? I'm going to retire soon and I have the energy. I'll help you with the wedding."
Lin Minjun had never held a wedding in her life, but she had seen Lu Xueping get married, and it was a very troublesome thing.
There are many things to take care of here and there, and it is so complicated that newcomers at this stage are prone to quarrels.
In short, this is a particularly troublesome matter, but people are willing to help, which really shows that they are thinking about them.
Lin Minjun and Yan Li looked at each other.
Lin Minjun said very embarrassedly: "How can that be possible? I am so sorry to trouble you. I am so embarrassed."
Gu Zhongyuan said amiably, "It's not just me. There are quite a few of us here, all friends of Xiaoli's parents. You are busy with work, and we happen to be free, so we can help you with whatever is bothering you."
He added, "There is another reason. Xiao Li's parents passed away early, and they didn't have time to see him get married and start a family. Now we, the old friends, will contribute money and manpower to help you make the wedding a lively one. If we see it with our own eyes, it's the same as if they saw it with their own eyes, and it's our contribution."
It was hard to refuse the elders' kindness, and since they had already said this, Lin Minjun was too embarrassed to say no.
Plus, her new store is about to open, so she is really busy as a top.
So the two of them expressed their gratitude and agreed.
Gu Zhongyuan was very serious about helping to arrange the wedding, so he asked, "Have you decided on a wedding date? Have you proposed?"
All of this was discussed last night. Yan Li said, "I plan to propose in a week, and the wedding will be at the beginning of next month. The weather will be warm then, neither too hot nor too cold, so I won't catch a cold if I wear a skirt."
"Young people are very considerate." Gu Zhongyuan smiled and patted Yan Li's shoulder. "It's impossible to propose marriage without the help of elders. I will bring people to propose marriage with you. We will discuss this matter later. We will give everything we should give. If the money is not enough, we will help you make up for it. Don't let her down. In addition, where do you plan to hold the wedding?"
Lin Minjun said, "Uncle Gu, we plan to hold the wedding in my own restaurant. One reason is to be frugal and save money. Another reason is that we have discussed that my restaurant has just opened. If we hold a wedding in a lively and noisy way, it can also help to increase the restaurant's reputation."
Gu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Minjun approvingly and asked, "How big is the restaurant? How many people are you going to invite?"
Lin Minjun gave a rough number.
Gu Zhongyuan thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you hold it at the Huguo Hotel."
"Here's the reason. The restaurant is a little small. If we count ten people per table, the tables are a little close together, so it's bound to be a little crowded. If we count twelve people per table, it won't be very decent. Since there aren't many of you, it's not a waste to hold the banquet at the Huguo Hotel."
Lin Minjun had not thought about this before, but now that Uncle Gu has brought it up, she thinks it is indeed true.
It's ok for normal meals, as more tables can be placed, but for wedding banquets, only small weddings can be accommodated, preferably with 20 to 30 people. If there are too many people, it will become messy, noisy and indecent.
She and Yan Li didn't have many friends, but when they counted, there were actually quite a few people, including Yan Li's parents' friends, colleagues at work, and neighbors in the compound. It totaled nearly fifty people, so it would be more appropriate to go to the Huguo Hotel at this time.
Lin Minjun smiled gratefully: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go to the Huguo Hotel."
