In the evening, after all the relatives had left, only the bride and groom were left in the house in Dongmianhua Hutong.
Lin Kucan and Jin Caifeng did not choose to live in Dongmianhua Hutong, but moved to the waterside pavilion in the back garden of the Gege Mansion to live alone.
It used to be Lin Sanqi's dormitory. After being renovated by his youngest son, it now has a modern wood-burning fireplace and a small courtyard, making it more comfortable to live in.
The main house in the east wing was divided into two parts by the eldest son and the younger son, with each son getting half the room.
Lin Sanqi took Pan Ye's hand and came to a crabapple tree in the southwest corner of the yard.
"Wife, let me tell you a secret. Remember, don't tell anyone. Under this crabapple tree, I buried two tons of gold. If one day, I'm just saying this for example, if one day I'm gone, these two tons of gold and this house will be the capital for your survival."
Pan Ye was shocked when he heard this, thinking, "Is this groom crazy?" He was already saying bad things on the wedding day:
"Sanqi, what are you talking about? I don't want your gold, I just want you..."
Lin Sanqi was moved and sighed after hearing this, but he could not tell anyone the biggest secret of his time travel. Should he tell his newlywed wife? Was he afraid that the time travel would fail one day and he would never be able to come back?
So he gently hugged Pan Ye and comforted him:
"The moon waxes and wanes, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings. Of course, I won't leave you. Even if I have to go, I will take you with me. We may not need this gold, but we cannot live without it. Just remember my words."
Pan Ye also hugged her husband's waist: "Yes, I understand."
Suddenly, she felt her body lighten and she turned sideways:
"Alright, my lady, a night of love is worth a thousand gold. Your husband has waited for you for more than a year, but today I am going to kill you, hehe."
Pan Ye's face flushed in the dark night, and he murmured softly:
"My aunt said, if you don't come seven times on the first night of your wedding, it means the groom is not qualified..."
Lin Sanqi had just run into the house excitedly, but when he heard this, he was so scared that he almost fell to the ground!
…
…
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Sanqi slept until 10 o'clock and woke up. When he touched the room, there was no one beside him.
Lin Sanqi wanted to sit up and look for his wife, but suddenly his waist felt sore and he lay down again with a cry.
Sure enough, the consequences of the time traveler having wives on both sides came to light. When he returned to the modern era, he had just fought with Yin Lianyi for three hundred rounds, but ended up being a bridegroom for one night in 1961.
Even a strong kidney can’t bear it.
Lin Sanqi took out the kidney-tonifying and strengthening prescription that Master Shi had left behind from his backpack, and prepared to go back and get some Chinese medicine.
When he slowly walked out of the house, he found that hundreds of washbasins and kettles were piled up in the yard.
Lin Sanqi's mind was full of questions:
"Wife, are you planning to give up being a doctor and switch to being a salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative? Why did you buy so many washbasins and kettles? How could our family use them all? Oh, there are so many towels here? And these are the sheets?"
Pan Ye's face did not show the pain of being a young wife after being deflowered. Instead, her face was red and particularly charming:
"I didn't buy these. They were all given to me by my colleagues at the Chinese Medicine Hospital."
Lin Sanqi picked up an enamel teacup and asked doubtfully, "I didn't tell anyone about our marriage. How did they know?"
Pan Ye rolled her eyes at her husband. "Do you think this can be kept secret? You're Dean Lin now. This will spread everywhere in no time."
While the two were still talking, there was another knock on the gate.
Lin Sanqi walked over and took a look. Yes, the person who came was holding two aluminum lunch boxes and two kettles with a small red rope tied on them. Needless to say, he came to give gifts again.
"Hey, Li Zexu?"
Li Zexu works in the purchasing department of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. When Lin Sanqi first started working, he almost got him fired. He was the one who decided to move to the Northwest and South China.
"Lin, Dean Lin, hey, congratulations, this is a small token of my appreciation. I was ignorant before, Dean Lin, please be magnanimous and don't take it personally."
Originally, they were colleagues, but now one is still an ordinary employee, while the other is already a vice president. There is a huge difference between them.
Lin Sanqi actually disliked this person in his heart and had made up his mind not to promote him, but he was still polite on the surface.
"Ah, now that you're here, what gift are you bringing? This kettle isn't cheap, take it back. Come, sit inside for a while?"
"No, no, Dean Lin, you have a lot to do today, I'll be leaving now. You must accept this small gift. Goodbye, Dean Lin, goodbye!"
Li Zexu backed away, nodding and bowing, looking just like a eunuch in a Qing Dynasty palace drama, extremely humble.
Lin Sanqi curled his lips, took two lunch boxes and two kettles and closed the gate.
Pan Ye was still packing up his things. He looked up and smiled:
"Hey, two more kettles. I guess we won't have to buy them in our lifetime."
In fact, these days, even an inconspicuous enamel washbasin or kettle is very expensive. A washbasin costs 3 yuan, and a thermos is even more expensive, 8 yuan, and the outer shell is made of bamboo.
It's not just expensive, the key is that you need a ticket. Without a ticket you can't buy it.
As for giving bed sheets as a gift, that was definitely a valuable gift. It was something that Lin Sanqi didn't even look at, and ordinary people wouldn't be willing to buy.
The young couple was still talking and laughing when the gate was knocked again.
There was a small jeep parked at the door, and two men in green military uniforms stood beside the car. When they saw Lin Sanqi coming out, they saluted:
"Hello, Colonel Lin, this is a gift from the commander. He wishes you a happy wedding."
After that, a man in green military uniform brought a box. Lin Sanqi opened it curiously and found that it was a Japanese samurai sword, a second-hand one.
"This is……"
"Report, Leader Jing said that this is the Japanese sword he personally captured on the battlefield and gave it to you. He hopes that you can become a sharp knife for our country, continue to introduce various advanced medicines and equipment, and stab imperialism hard."
Lin Sanqi laughed heartily. "Then please thank Leader Jing for me. I will definitely live up to his trust."
The two men in green uniforms saluted and left.
Before Lin Sanqi closed the door, another staff member came running over on a bicycle, "President Lin, wait a minute..."
The second day of the Lunar New Year was originally the day when Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye were to return to their parents' home, but somehow the various gods found out about their marriage and came one after another to send gifts.
The leaders of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Digital Hospital, and Friendship Hospital sent gifts, and even the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Lin Qiaozhi, sent a pair of pillowcases embroidered with mandarin ducks.
Finally, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye looked at the hundreds of washbasins, hundreds of kettles, hundreds of bedsheets, etc. in the yard and couldn't help but smile bitterly. How long will it take to use them? (End of this chapter)
