She was frightened when she heard the word ginseng.
"The one that can make you immortal if you eat it?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Mom, what are you talking about? This is just a tonic. You should watch less TV."
"I'm just saying this, my lady, he gave you such a valuable gift, when do you plan to get married?"
"He has already taken his wedding leave. If possible, let's hold the wedding banquet this month."
Oh my God, it is exactly as Lin Ping said.
"Isn't this month too soon? At least both parents have to sit together to discuss it. We don't know what his parents think, whether they are satisfied with you, and whether this marriage can be successful. Marriage is a matter between two families, not just between you two. How can you decide on your own?"
Ye Lian simply could not accept the current concept of free love and free marriage.
She thinks free love is okay, but she thinks freedom in marriage is not okay.
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "We plan to get married in South City, but both of our parents are not in South City. So we plan to take you all to South City, find a hotel, and we can sit down and talk slowly."
Ye Lian nodded, then sighed and said, "If you are looking for a partner, his family should bring matchmakers and elders to propose marriage. We should also go to their home once to help you check the house.
But it would be fine if it was near our home, but you chose one so far away. You both left your families to live in another city, so it is really inconvenient to travel back and forth.
Of course, this is also good. Not living with your in-laws will reduce conflicts. You will live your life on your own from now on, so it doesn't matter whether you come to visit the house or not.
The farming season is over, and your father and I have some free time. We will go back to South City with you to discuss this marriage. But I still think it’s too early to get married this month, so let’s put it off for now and get married next year.”
"He may not have time to get married next year."
Ye Lian: "Why don't you have time?"
"They will have more tasks to do next year, and the leader has specifically instructed that no one will be given leave next year."
"What about the year after next?"
Lin Yuyao actually knew what secret mission they would undertake, which was very important to China and would succeed.
But now it's confidential and she can't tell.
So I can only use Fu Huaiyi's words: "No one can guarantee that it will be done next year. It is a very complicated task. If it can't be done, we will continue the year after next. If it still can't be done the year after next..."
"Continue doing it the year after next?" Ye Lian took over the conversation.
Lin Yuyao nodded.
Ye Lian said, "That will take forever. Girls' youth is short, and we can't wait."
In their hometown in the countryside, young people of this era get married very early. If a girl is over 24 and still unmarried, she will be called an old spinster, and if a boy is over 26 and still unmarried, he will be called a bachelor.
When Ye Lian heard that she might have to wait for several years before getting married, she became very anxious.
Lin Yuyao said, "So we plan to get married in the first half of the year."
Ye Lian frowned and thought for a long time before she nodded gently, "Okay, let's sit down together and discuss it later. If there are no major problems, we can finalize the marriage and hold the wedding banquet at the same time."
Special matters should be handled in special ways, and she also made some concessions for the sake of her lady.
"Ye Lian, is Ye Lian at home?"
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Lian urged Lin Yuyao, "Quick, take the food inside."
Lin Yuyao: "Mom, what are you doing? They must be here to ask for some candy."
"Oh, I won't give this to them. This is Xiao Fu's gift to me. I'm keeping it for myself. Don't worry, I've prepared it."
Ye Lian responded while hurriedly stuffing all the food into Lin Yuyao's hands and asking her to take it into the house.
As soon as Lin Yuyao entered the house, a neighbor who came to visit came in.
After all, the news that Lin Yuyao brought back a partner had spread. Now that everyone had just finished lunch, the neighbors would definitely come over to visit, mainly to see what the partner Lin Yuyao brought back looked like.
"Hey, why are you alone here? Where is your Yuyao and her partner?"
As he was speaking, Lin Yuyao came out.
"Auntie, I'm here."
"Oh, Yuyao." The aunt looked at Lin Yuyao from head to toe for a long while, and said in a low voice: "Beautiful, look at this young lady, she has become more beautiful."
Lin Yuyao smiled shyly, "Thank you, Auntie."
Ye Lian smiled and asked her to sit down quickly, while she took out the melon seeds, peanuts and candies she had prepared earlier and filled a large plate with them.
"Here, have some candy. This one is sweet."
"Hey, you're still so polite."
She took a candy, peeled off the wrapper, put it in her mouth, and kept saying that the candy was sweet.
"By the way, where is Yuyao's partner? Why can't I see him?"
"I'm out shopping with Dawei. Please sit for a while. I'll be back soon."
"good."
While they were talking, another person came to the door.
They are all daughters-in-law from the village, and they usually have a good relationship with Ye Lian.
Soon, five or six people who came to see their son-in-law sat in the room.
Ye Lian greeted them warmly, treated them to candy, peanuts and melon seeds, and they chatted happily.
As they were talking, there was a noise outside the house. It was Lin Dawei and Fu Huaiyi coming back from buying cement.
Ye Lian quickly stood up and said, "It's Dawei who has returned."
The two men pulled back three bags of cement. The truck was really capable of hauling it. Three bags of cement weighed 300 kilograms, and there was no problem at all.
Seeing Fu Huaiyi and Lin Dawei unloading the goods together, Ye Lian stepped forward and said, "Xiao Fu, go inside. I'll carry it."
"It's okay. I can handle it."
"Hey, your clothes are clean, don't get them dirty later."
Lin Dawei pushed Ye Lian away and said, "Don't touch it either. I'll do it. This stuff will itch if it touches your skin."
After saying that, Lin Dawei carried a bag of cement and walked towards the backyard.
Ye Lianjian also carried a bag.
Fu Huaiyi was surprised. He remembered that the cement weighed 100 kilograms. It was enough that his father-in-law could carry it easily, but how could his mother-in-law also carry it easily?
Is there something wrong with the boss's scale?
He had to carry the remaining bag, but when he tried it, he found it was indeed not light, definitely weighing about 100 kilograms.
Finally, three people each carried a bag of cement to the backyard.
Ye Lian has worked in the countryside for a long time. He came from the era of earning work points, and his strength is unmatched by that of city dwellers.
She carried a hundred kilograms without any hesitation.
…
Everyone finally met Lin Yuyao's new boyfriend.
Although they only met once, someone still recognized him.
"Hey, I think I've seen you before."
Cough cough!
Fu Huaiyi touched his nose awkwardly.
"You are the one..." After thinking for a while, he remembered, "You came here last year, at Lu's house. I think you were a friend of Lu Jiangting and went to their house to attend the wedding banquet, right?"
After her reminder, everyone suddenly understood.
"Yes, that's him." Another person pointed at Fu Huaiyi and said, "Two young people from other places came at that time, and you were one of them."
