Chapter 774: Preparing for the Wedding
When Uncle Jin Dongfeng heard that Jin Chen was getting married, he asked him to help, but he was very reluctant. His son Jin Bin was now disgraced, his wife and children were separated, and he had nothing. He had nothing to do every day, just staying at home basking in the sun during the day and playing mahjong at night. His mood was more than just "depressed".
His son was in such a bad mood, while Jin Chen was in high spirits. It was said that he had achieved great success in both love and career and would get married before the end of the year. The two people's situations formed a sharp contrast, which made Jin Donghai feel extremely unbalanced.
But what’s the point of imbalance?
Aunt Qi Shuping was also unable to escape. She was also pulled out of the house by the old lady. She was asked to decorate the new house together with Jin Xihai's wife, and to buy cigarettes, alcohol, candies, etc. that were needed for the wedding. In addition, they also had to prepare several sets of brand new bedding for the newlyweds.
It's not impossible to buy bedding, but it's cold in winter, and the bedding sold in the mall is not warm enough and is expensive. It's more cost-effective to make it yourself.
The old lady has calculated all this. Each person needs at least two quilts, so two people need four quilts, plus the mattresses under the beds, two large and two small, which makes four pieces in total. In other words, the old lady's two daughters-in-law will have to do at least eight pieces of needlework.
Qi Shuping was also very reluctant, but she could only bury this reluctance deep in her heart and dared not say it out loud.
Although she was malicious and wanted to stir up trouble all the time, she was not stupid. She knew clearly that there must be no mistakes at the wedding. If there was any mistake at the wedding, the old man and the old lady would be so angry that they would skin her alive!
Su Hanyan told her father the news of her marriage. The wedding was scheduled to be held in a hotel on the day. Su Hanyan only informed her father, third uncle and third brother. As for others, Su Hanyan did not inform them, as she did not want to see them at the wedding.
The news got out, and both families began to busy themselves with preparations.
As the parties to the wedding, Jin Chen and Su Hanyan were tired but happy these days. They traveled back and forth between the mall and home almost every day, and started to buy the things they needed one by one.
The family had almost bought all the clothes and shoes, and all the odds and ends were bought. Su Hanyan was thinking about going to the electrical appliance market, because the radio station had distributed some benefits a few days ago, in addition to wages and fruits, it also distributed a few industrial coupons, and she was thinking about going to the electrical appliance market to use up the industrial coupons.
After much thought, my house is still lacking a refrigerator, so I might as well buy one while I’m getting married.
The two of them went to the electrical appliance market and went straight to the refrigerator. Refrigerators and color TVs were in short supply these days and were not easy to buy. Fortunately, Su Hanyan saw that there was only one refrigerator left in this electrical appliance market. It might be because the refrigerator was too expensive, so it had not been sold.
"Jin Chen, look! There is a refrigerator. Let's buy it now! It will be convenient to store some fruits and vegetables in the summer!" Su Hanyan said.
"Okay." Since his wife wanted to buy it, Jin Chen had nothing to say and asked about the price directly, "How much is this refrigerator?"
"Two thousand eight hundred yuan!" The salesman praised the refrigerator from head to toe, and spent a long time talking about how excellent the refrigerator's performance was and how convenient it was to have this thing. He thought that Jin Chen should be able to afford it, so he tried his best to sell the refrigerator to him.
As the salesperson was speaking, a woman's voice suddenly interrupted: "You don't have to say anything, I'll buy this refrigerator!"
