After the wedding, Lin Guoqing and his family stayed in Shanghai for three days before returning. On the way back, Chen Chunhua's eyes were red the whole time, and so were Liang Shengdi's. Seeing that both of them were blushing, Lin Shumei's eyes gradually turned red too.
Lin Shugan had already taken the train back to school, and there were only five people in the family in the car.
The three red-eyed rabbits at the back made the two men in front couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Guoqing: "I say, isn't this a happy occasion? Can you guys be a little happy?"
Liang Shengdi looked even more unhappy, muttering, "How can you be so happy when there's one less person at home?"
Lin Guoqing: "...I'm not very happy...No, my eldest daughter is getting married, it's not for nothing...What do you mean by missing someone? Mom, what you said is really..."
Lin Guoqing was just a little melancholy to begin with, but after what they did, his mood hit rock bottom, and no one in the car was happy.
After Lin Shuchao tried hard to organize his words in his mind, he turned around and forced a smile.
"Mom, grandma, don't be unhappy. When I get married, there will be one more person in the family!"
"Then the parents at home will surely be sad too." Chen Chunhua murmured with empty eyes looking out the window, her expression looking as lonely as it could be.
The third one has also given up. Forget it, let’s all emo together!

Qi Jinzhou said he wanted to be a matchmaker for Lin Shuchao and asked him if he was willing.
Lin Shuchao said that was nonsense! If there really was a good girl, he would dream of going on a blind date with her, but he didn't know who she was.
Qi Jinzhou said she was the daughter of an older member of his team. She was 18 years old, had graduated from high school, and worked in a factory. Her salary and education were decent, but her family was a little small.
Lin Shuchao laughed amusedly. "How simple is a simple population? Isn't it said that a simple population is good? There won't be so many problems."
Qi Jinzhou scratched his head and said, "That girl's mother died very early, from illness. So she only has one older brother and no younger siblings. Then my eldest brother raised the two children alone.
Now my son is married and my daughter-in-law is pregnant, but…"
It's a family of four, soon to be five, squeezed into a small 50-60 square meter house, which is not very comfortable. So the eldest brother works hard every day to earn money by driving a sports car so that he can buy a house for his son and daughter-in-law.
I'm also thinking that it would be better for my daughter to get married sooner.
This wasn't to say he disliked his daughter as an unnecessary burden. Qi Jinzhou knew the man simply felt that if the child was destined to marry, it would be better to marry her off sooner rather than later. Instead of having to live under the sway of her sister-in-law, it would be better to have her own little family sooner rather than later.
His wife died early, and he was afraid that his stepmother might not be good to the children, so he didn't go. The two children were obedient and sensible. They took care of themselves since they were young, and even took care of him who worked outside to make money.
He didn't want to make it difficult for them, the brother and sister, to get along with each other because of such a small matter... This kind of thing, no matter how bold the children are, will eventually cause problems over time.
Alas, every family has its own problems.
"That little girl is really good. She's been taking care of all the household chores since she was very young. Not only is she hardworking, but she's also very cheerful. We've seen her sometimes when she comes to deliver food to her father. She's quite a pretty girl."
Qi Jinzhou sighed, "Brother Qin said that there must be a betrothal gift, but it's all for his daughter. He won't take a penny and will even add some dowry for her to bring back. He will also prepare other things that a normal daughter's dowry should have.
I just want a boy who comes from a kind family and is easy to get along with."
Lin Shuchao's eyes sparkled. "That's my home, my parents! You know my third brother-in-law!"
Qi Jinzhou nodded and said, "Of course I know my uncle and aunt, and my grandmother is also very easy to get along with." And my two cousins are not the kind of people who make trouble.
But the most important thing in marriage is the partner himself, right?
The truth that Qi Jinzhou didn't dare to say was that if Lin Shu had been here today, he would definitely have gone to find the second son of the Lin family first, not the third son.
However, Lin Shu is in a hurry to arrange the marriage now, and it is estimated that even Chen Chunhua and others will not interfere. If they want to introduce someone to someone, they can only introduce him to this rare and unreliable descendant of the Lin family, Lin Shuchao.
Sure enough, Lin Shuchao didn't ask anything else to the other party, just asked - "Can that girl cook?"
"Of course she will. I've been doing housework since she was young, and she even brings meals to her father."
"Okay! I have no objection." Lin Shuchao nodded readily. "When will we meet?"
Qi Jinzhou: ...
"Not so fast. I haven't even asked the girl if she's willing to go on a blind date with you."
This left Lin Shuchao speechless. "After all this time, you only asked me. I don't even know I exist?"
Qi Jinzhou spread his hands, "Of course. What if I ask the girl first, and she agrees, and then asks you, and you say you don't agree, how embarrassing would that girl be?"
"Now I am happy, what if the young lady is not happy?"
"What does it matter? How much is a boy's face worth?"
Lin Shuchao: ...
If you put it that way, it seems to make some sense.
"Okay then, you can ask for me, just tell me, just tell me..." Lin Shuchao began to think of words to praise himself.
“Let’s just say that my annual income is also five figures now, and I have a house in the village. Um… outside, my parents also bought me a house outside, but it’s not in my hands yet.
The same goes for cars, we’ll have them when we get married…” This was what Chen Chunhua said to the other three children when she was buying a car for Lin Shuying.
"If we can get together, she won't have to follow the feudal tradition of taking care of the elderly and children after marrying in... She can spend her own money, and I can support the family with my own money. Well, if she's kind, I guess my mom can even give us some..."
Not to mention Qi Jinzhou, even Lin Shuchao himself was speechless after hearing what he said. The image of a man who is extremely dependent on his parents and has an extremely thick skin is vividly portrayed on the paper.
But what can I say? If this were to be brought up in the blind date market, all the aunts and uncles would definitely come to introduce him to someone.
Qi Jinzhou didn't really mind his nonsense. To put it bluntly, Lin Shuchao had the conditions, and he himself didn't say that he didn't want to make money.
He would not tell anyone else that these words were said by Lin Shuchao himself. It is the duty of a qualified matchmaker to know what to say and what not to say.
Of course, he thought that the Big Brother family would not refuse this blind date.
Qi Jinzhou calmly patted Lin Shuchao on the shoulder and told him to wait.
Three days later, he was informed to take some time to tell his family that he was going on a blind date.
