When Lin Shumei knew that her third brother had found a third sister-in-law, she held the phone receiver for three seconds, and finally uttered:
"Who's that blind?"
However, she still rushed back the weekend after the final exams, saying that she wanted to see her sister-in-law.
However, Lin Shugan rejected her suggestion to be a third wheel and instead brought his partner home for dinner.
Bring it back for dinner?
This time the family was even busier than the last blind date. Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua were no longer in a hurry to pursue their careers. They took Liang Shengdi with them to clean the house upside down. Lin Shumei, who came back to watch the fun, was also drafted into the army.
Only the male protagonist of this incident, Lin Shuchao, who went out to pick someone up, escaped the disaster.
Halfway through cleaning, Lin Shumei suddenly thought of something and asked in a speechless manner,
"Has the new house over there just been cleaned? Then why don't we host our third sister-in-law directly at the new house? It's bigger and newer."
This was a good question, and the other three stopped immediately.
Lin Guoqing: "It's already halfway cleaned..."
Chen Chunhua: "The furniture over there is complete, but there's not even a pot in the kitchen..."
Liang Shengdi: "If we're going to move somewhere else, we might as well stay here."
Okay, the cleaning continues.
Lin Shuchao had just gone to the Qin family for dinner a few days ago, bringing a bunch of gifts. Both Qin Dayou and Qin Hong's brother and sister-in-law had a good impression of him. Qin Dayou even secretly asked Qin Hong if Lin Shuchao had mentioned taking her home for dinner.
No, it was brought up yesterday.
Lin Shuchao said that his younger sister who was studying at a university in the provincial capital had just returned home, so he thought about taking her back with him today to have a semi-reunion dinner.
Why is it a partial reunion? Because his elder sister and second brother are temporarily busy and cannot come back.
Qin Hong was nervous for a long time. Although she had been to the Lin family for a blind date before, her father was there at that time, and the elders were chatting most of the time. She just had to sit there holding a glass of water and pretend to be shy.
This time, she was going to have a proper dinner. What if she didn't do something right?
While Qin Hong was daydreaming, her sister-in-law walked into her room with a red dress.
"Hongmei, why don't you wear this skirt today? I just bought it before I got pregnant. I haven't worn it yet. It's new."
"ah?"
Qin Hong was a bit stunned, wondering why her sister-in-law suddenly wanted to give her a skirt. You know, although her sister-in-law wasn't exactly stingy, she was still very careful with her things. She also felt that Qin Hong's existence affected her happiness index in life.
Every day when you go out of the room and see someone, it's good enough if you don't have a cold face. How can you even come to your door to give you something? How is that possible?
Mrs. Qin sighed, held her belly and leaned against the wall, her face still without any particularly friendly or enthusiastic expression.
"I'm not being kind, I just think that if you get married sooner, the baby in my belly will have a place to live sooner.
But I sincerely hope you can marry well. It's not that I expect you to come back and help me in the future, but only if you marry well can your eldest brother and your father worry less about you and focus all their attention on our little family."
Seeing that Qin Hong was still staring at her blankly, Mrs. Qin's tone became increasingly impatient.
"Those clothes in your suitcase are fine for daily work wear, since you're in front of your colleagues anyway. Lin Shu likes you very much, and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so it's okay for you to wear them on a date. But it would be a bit embarrassing to go to your future in-laws' house for dinner for the first time."
Plus, there was a sister-in-law across the street, a college student and the daughter of a wealthy family. Her horizons were definitely higher than those of ordinary people like them who had just a few years of education. It wasn't that Qin Hong was supposed to compete with her future sister-in-law, but she just wanted her to avoid being looked down upon.
Qin Hong's mother died young, and there are many things that her father and brother do not understand and cannot teach. Qin Dasao's life purpose is to take care of herself, and she does not have the kind of hot-blooded mentality that comes with being a mother to her sister-in-law.
But when it really came to this, she still couldn't help but say a few words, just to prevent the cooked duck from flying away.
"And your face, try putting on some cleanser and lipstick. I'm not asking you to hand over your salary, so if you have money, you should take the time to spruce yourself up, right? Don't go to the countryside and let the villagers look down on you."
“…”
When Qin Hong went out, she wore a red dress and white high heels. She even put on some of her sister-in-law's lipstick and carried some fruit snacks her father had bought in advance. However, Qin Dayou had been out driving this morning and was not here, so her brother walked her downstairs.
"You don't have to be too nervous. This time they're here to see you, and you're here to see them. If you think there's something wrong with their family, or if they're being indifferent to you, come back and tell me and Dad, and we'll discuss it.
If it's really not right, then forget it, right? We can just change families and go on a blind date again. It's not necessary to marry into their family..."
Brother Lin kept muttering on and on, and in the end, Qin Hong felt that he was even more nervous than herself.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'll be fine. Don't be too nervous."
Brother Qin smiled innocently, then noticed the car parked a few steps away from their building, "Shu Chao is here."
"Big brother."
Lin Shuchao was standing at the car door waiting. When he saw them get out, he quickly walked over and took the things from Qin Hong's hand. This action made the smile in Qin Hong's eyes deepen.
"Well, my sister will trouble your parents today."
"What are you talking about! I'm bringing my partner home, and my parents are so happy!"
After a few pleasantries, Qin Hong followed Lin Shuchao into the car. Brother Qin ran back upstairs, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife still standing at the window looking out.
"When Honghong was around, you were always in a bad mood. Now that the marriage is finally about to happen, are you happy?"
"I'm happy, why wouldn't I be happy?" Mrs. Qin left the window and rolled her eyes at her husband in annoyance. "Your family only has such a small piece of land, do you think she can live there comfortably? Now that she can marry into a good family, she will enjoy life. It's better than squeezing into a pigeon cage here with me."
Brother Qin just didn't like her always talking about pigeon cages and made a "tsk" sound.
"Aren't we all working hard to make money? Dad is so old and still drives day and night. Why? Isn't it just to buy you a bigger set?"
"What do you mean by getting me a bigger one? Qin Bai! Can you please be reasonable? You don't even need to live in my house, right? I live alone..."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I said the wrong thing, let's change it together..."
