Chapter 47 Yan Yue's blind date
Since Qian Baozhu gave Qian Yu an ultimatum, Qian Yu has been going home on time to help with housework these days.
After the National Day holiday was over, Lin Xiaotong naturally rushed back to work.
This morning, the three members of the Xie family were sitting in the main room eating breakfast.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving. I'm going back to my aunt's house for lunch today. You and Dad don't have to wait for me."
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan said thank you to Da Jiao, finished their breakfast, pushed their bicycles and prepared to go out.
"Okay, wait a minute, bring some of the seafood that Xie Yi sent to your aunt's house so they can have a taste of it."
Gao Xiulan finished the last mouthful of porridge in her bowl, wiped her mouth, and ran to the kitchen cabinet to rummage around. After a while, she came out with a bag.
Gao Xiulan picked up a little of each, put them separately in a bag, and gave it to Lin Xiaotong.
"Mom, you're so nice. When I get my first month's salary, I'll take you and Dad to a state-owned restaurant for a meal."
Lin Xiaotong took the bag and put it into her own cloth bag, and with just one sentence, she arranged the salary that she had not yet received.
"Your father and I don't rely on your salary."
Gao Xiulan said this, but she was already very happy in her heart.
"That's settled. Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first."
Lin Xiaotong turned around and waved, pushed the bike to the gate of the compound, and then rode it to work.
"Hiss, there's a gust of wind! How come the weather has become so cold? It's only the beginning of October."
Lin Xiaotong raised her collar to block some of the wind, but some of the wind still got into her neck, making her feel cold.
Shivering, she quickly entered the counter and ran to get a cup of hot water. She held her hands to warm them, and puffs of cold air came out of her red, frozen nose.
Sister Mei and He Cuicui arrived first and sat at the counter doing their own things.
"Xiao Lin, you look very cold, don't you?"
Sister Mei was knitting a sweater again, and when she saw Lin Xiaotong's expression, she joked.
"That's right. It's freezing cold this year."
The first thing to talk about when meeting someone is the weather.
"Lin Xiaotong, what did you bring in? Why does it smell fishy?"
He Cuicui had just finished eating a big meat bun she bought from a state-owned restaurant, and she felt like vomiting when she smelled the fishy smell.
"Sorry, I brought some seafood. I'll tie the bag a little tighter."
Lin Xiaotong tied the bag tightly and stuffed it into the locker under the counter, closing the door tightly.
"Hey, I have some oranges here, would you like some? Eat some to calm your nerves."
She reached out and tied the bag tightly, found the oranges she bought in the counter drawer, and turned to ask He Cuicui.
"Of course, give me one."
He Cuicui stretched out her hand without hesitation and answered with her head held high.
"Here, here you go, Sister Mei. I'll give you one too, to whet your appetite."
The oranges she bought were as big as a girl's palm, sour and sweet, and juicy when you took a bite.
"Xiaotong, your seafood is not easy to buy. Do you have any connections?"
Sister Mei was peeling oranges and asking about seafood.
Lin Xiaotong drank some hot water and continued, "Sister Mei, this is what my husband sent back. It's not much. My mother-in-law also asked me to bring some to my aunt's house."
"Oh, yes, your man is a soldier. Is he serving on the southern coast?"
Sister Mei remembered this.
Lin Xiaotong replied, "Yes, I haven't been there either. It's so far from here, it takes over 30 hours by train!"
"Boy, that's a bit far."
Sister Mei has never left Beijing since she was a child.
He Cuicui ate an orange and looked at Lin Xiaotong puzzledly and asked: "Lin Xiaotong, your man is so far away from you, why don't you go with the army?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the climate there. Besides, I can't bear to leave you, my dear Cuicui."
Lin Xiaotong spoke in a pinched voice and successfully made Sister Mei laugh.
The hot pepper He Cuicui also blushed for a moment and glanced at Lin Xiaotong who was speaking in a pretentious manner.
"Xiaotong, you're making trouble again!"
While the three of them were chatting and joking, Yan Yue walked in from the door.
"Sister Yan, why didn't you come a few days ago?"
Lin Xiaotong reached out and handed Yan Yue an orange.
"Don't mention it. My dad took me on a blind date that day."
"Blind date!"
The three of them said in unison, looking at each other before looking away.
"Don't be so startled. Keep your voice down."
Yan Yue's face turned red as she was stared at by three people, and she touched the ends of her hair uncomfortably.
"clear."
The three of them nodded and came over to whisper.
"Sister Yan, who are you going on a blind date with? The brother who is three years younger than you?"
The first person that came to Lin Xiaotong's mind was Yan Yue's little wolf-dog childhood sweetheart, Huo Qi.
"How do you know?"
Yan Yue asked in shock.
This shock was no less than when he saw Huo Qi appear that day.
"Hey, hey, how's it going?"
Lin Xiaotong blinked her eyes full of curiosity.
"We'll get engaged when he graduates next year."
Yan Yue revealed it in a low voice embarrassedly.
Huo Qi had a serious talk with Yan Yue. The two parents had known each other for a long time, and both sides of the family were in favor of this marriage.
Yan Yue thought about what Lin Xiaotong had said before, and felt that apart from Huo Qi being a little young, there was nothing else she could not accept.
She was also slowly transforming Huo Qi from a boy next door into an adult man.
The marriage age in this era is 20 years old for men and 18 years old for women.
Yan Yue is 21 years old this year and Huo Qigang is 18 years old.
If the two of them are together, they will have to wait two years to get a marriage certificate, but they can get engaged.
"Congratulations, Sister Yan, we will go and show our support when the time comes."
Lin Xiaotong sent her blessings with a smile on her face.
"You will definitely be indispensable then."
Yan Yue tapped Lin Xiaotong's forehead mischievously and laughed softly.
"Xiao Yan is about to get married, so you have to keep an eye on her, Cuicui."
Sister Mei looked at He Cuicui who was listening with great interest and joked.
"Why is this happening to me again? Can I be the only one who can cause such a thing?"
He Cuicui stamped her feet and pretended to be angry.
"That's right, fate should just happen naturally. Don't be too demanding."
Lin Xiaotong was terrified when she thought of the various methods used by her aunts and uncles in later generations to urge her to get married.
"Lin Xiaotong, I agree with what you say 100% this time."
He Cuicui curled her lips as she looked at Lin Xiaotong, who was not so annoying.
"It's rare that Xiaolin and Cuicui didn't argue today."
After Lin Xiaotong and the other three joked around, more and more people gathered on the first floor of the department store.
The busy morning passed quickly, and Lin Xiaotong rode her bicycle towards the Public Security Bureau's staff quarters.
"Xiaotong, are you off work? It's been a long time since I saw you at home?"
Uncle Wang was playing chess with someone under the shade of a tree downstairs. When he saw Lin Xiaotong come back, he greeted her.
"Uncle Wang, I'm here today, aren't I?"
"Uncle, it's your turn. I'll go upstairs first."
Lin Xiaotong went up to the third floor with the bag in her hand.
"Who is it?"
Jing Qian heard a knock on the door in the room and shouted outside.
"Aunt, it's me, Xiaotong. I came home for lunch."
"Xiaotong, come in quickly. Why didn't you call me? I'll ask your uncle to buy some more food for lunch."
