Lian Xiaomin did not tell her family the real prices of the two jobs.
What she said was that Yufang's job was 500 and Huang Liyuan's job was 600.
The money was cut in half, so I just saved the money on the two bags of grain.
Moreover, she didn't want Yufang's money. This was a gift from her to Yufang. You could say it was a birthday present. In February, both of them had their birthdays one after the other, and they both turned 17.
It can be used as a wedding gift. Since my family agrees, it’s already been decided.
Huang Liyuan hurried home and found six hundred yuan, which he delivered overnight. He also expressed his gratitude to Lian Xiaomin in person, and he was almost kneeling down and kowtowing to her.
This day is truly a happy day.
He said that in a few days he would ask his mother to come to the Li family to propose marriage, and they would get engaged first, and the wedding would be held later, without missing any of the normal procedures!
Lian Xiaomin said that work is important, so one should start working as soon as possible, and it would be best to finish it before the Spring Festival so that one can have a peaceful year.
Three days later, the Huang family came to propose marriage, and Huang Liyuan and Yufang officially got engaged.
Two days later, they both took their employment forms and completed their work procedures, and were ready to start work on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
Huang Liyuan works in the railway system, so he has access to a dormitory to live in. Besides, he is always on the road following the train, so he can make do with this for the time being.
He planned to keep an eye out for houses in the county town, even if they were small, and save money to buy one for his future marriage.
Yufang works as a salesperson in a department store in the county and does not have a dormitory assigned to her.
Li Xianghai originally wanted to rent a house for her, but Lian Xiaomin simply let her live in Xinyu Street. The five children lived in two rooms, so there was still an empty house anyway.
In fact, she didn't say that at the end of March, the child was taken away and the yard was empty. Yufang would live here before she got married.
When she no longer lives there, she will give it to Chen Chuntian. Together with the house in Hongdou Hutong, there are two houses in total, and she will let Chen Chuntian and his brothers continue to take care of her as the eldest sister.
It’s not like she will never come back again. She has to come back at least once a year to ship the goods.
Everyone at home is busy with Yufang's affairs now, and Xiaomin's plan to leave has not been mentioned for the time being.
Yufang used to live in Xinyu Street, but she didn’t know that there were five more children now.
Lian Xiaomin told her separately that there were five orphans and they were letting the children live here temporarily. There was an empty room for Yufang to live in and she could also take care of the children from time to time.
Yan Haixia also often went there. When Yufang heard this, she was very happy. She decided to spend more time with Sister Haixia and Brother Liming in the county town so that she would not be without friends.
Lian Xiaomin said, "You can also get in touch with Lin Youshu. He works in the hospital's logistics department. If you have any big or small issues, you can go to him."
"...When he marries Xie Ling, Xiao Lingzi will definitely be in the county town!"
Yes, Xiaolingzi will be able to marry and move to the county town in the future, which is great. Yufang can finally get rid of the sadness of leaving home after the New Year.
Time passed quickly in the blink of an eye, and it was February 11th already. There were only three days left until the Chinese New Year.
On this day, just as it was getting dark, there was a knock on the gate of Lian Xiaomin's house.
She immediately became excited, it was Lawrence Lu who came!
She glanced at Junjun and Guagua who were playing with toys on the big kang, and decided not to keep these two children in the space.
They are all leaving, so it’s okay to let Lawrence Lu see them, as long as the two children don’t go out and are seen by the villagers.
Lian Xiaomin quickly put on her shoes, ran out and opened the gate.
Under the moonlight, looking at the dusty man, she jumped directly on him and gave him a bear hug!
"Amin, I miss you so much..."
Lawrence Lu let go of the bag he was holding and threw it on the ground, then he hugged the person he had been thinking about day and night and kissed her cheek.
The two of them hugged each other quietly for half a minute before going into the house together.
Lu Guanjie looked at the four little kids on the kang and wondered how two could become four?
Lian Xiaomin helped him put the bag in the west room, and came back and said with a smile: "Brother Will, the last time I came back from Hong Kong, I passed by Beijing and picked up two children. I decided to adopt them."
"This little brother is called Junjun, he is three and a half years old, and the little brother is called Guagua, he is one and a half years old."
When Xiaofu and Xiaoya saw someone coming outside, they quickly climbed over from the big kang.
Xiaofu raised his little face and said, "Are you my brother-in-law? I saw you two kissing from the window!"
Xiaofu will be five years old in just over a month, on April 1st. The little kid knows everything, hehe.
Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "You little bastard, don't talk nonsense outside!"
Lawrence Lu raised the corner of his mouth, and picked up Xiaofu: “What a smart cub, come, call brother-in-law again, I will get you something delicious.”
The little girl next to her became anxious, so she stood by the kang and hugged the other person's waist.
"Brother-in-law, I want to eat delicious food too!"
The two little kids rushed to call "brother-in-law" in their baby voices. Lian Xiaomin held her forehead in embarrassment. They had eaten all kinds of delicious food. Couldn't they be more reserved?
Lawrence Lu laughed happily.
"Amin, I brought some animal biscuits and hard toffee in my bag. Go get them for the children."
These are all brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, but considering Lawrence Lu’s age, he suddenly felt that they were like his own children, and he loved every little one very much.
Lian Xiaomin went to get the biscuit box and the candy box, and returned to the east room, where she saw Lu Guanjie had taken off his shoes and was lying on the kang, leaning against a pile of quilts, with the baby all over his body.
They had already eaten dinner, so she only gave each kid a few cookies and a candy. The four kids started to play loudly in a loop again: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Oh, you all know how to do it!
…
She went to the stove, boiled a pot of water, put in some frozen dumplings, and brought a large bowl into the house.
"You must not have had dinner at this time. Come on, eat dumplings."
Lu Guanjie took Guagua away from him and came to the kang table to eat.
He was really hungry. Watching him eat with big mouthfuls and wolfing down the food, Lian Xiaomin unconsciously reached out and stroked his thick bangs.
"Brother Will, your hair has grown longer and it covers your eyes. Hmm, but it looks good... Hey? Why is there a small wound on your forehead?"
Lawrence Lu quickly ate half a bowl of dumplings in one breath, then slowed down and chatted while eating.
"Hey, you don't know, I was almost checked by the police at the station before I got on the train in Guangzhou. A lot of people surrounded me, and I couldn't hurt anyone, so I had to run away."
"There was a bag, but I left it behind and ran away like crazy... the RMB and banknotes were all in that bag."
Lian Xiaomin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah? Then how are you going to eat on the train if you don't have any money?"
You don’t need a ticket to buy meals on the train, but they are quite expensive, so you do need money.
Lawrence Lu smiled, grabbed his hand that was touching his forehead, balled it in his big hand, then unfolded it again, interlocking their fingers.
"I wore a gold chain around my neck and secretly found a small black market near the train station and exchanged some money."
Fortunately, it was winter and he was wearing thick clothes. He did not take off the necklace from his neck when he came to the mainland, and just wore it inside so that no one could see it.
