Chapter 166, Part 1662
After dinner, Luo Yan went home.
The first thing she asked as she walked in was, "Is Big Mouth back?"
The parents, who were watching TV, understood what she meant and looked at their daughter: "He's not here now, but your brother had lunch at home."
So, the moment I left home, he arrived and started spreading the news.
Luo Yan: "As expected of him."
Such a good thing should naturally be publicized.
Liu Yinfeng patted the sofa, gesturing for her daughter to sit down, and said, "Your brother just guessed you'd like it. Has it been decided yet?"
Luo Yan nodded: "It's settled. He'll go to complete the transfer tomorrow."
He's really in a hurry, but I can understand it for a young man like him. It would be suspicious if he wasn't eager to get married.
Although the formalities haven't been completed yet, the couple has already implicitly agreed to it and has even started planning how to prepare their daughter's dowry.
Luo Yan was unaware of this. She sat down and chatted with her parents while watching TV, mentioning that she was going to a meeting at school the next day.
Liu Yinfeng said, "We should have some fun. Four years of being classmates, what a rare and precious bond."
Despite having fun, Luo Yan's only headache was: "I guess I'll have to climb the Great Wall again."
I heard that several graduating classes have gone there, and everyone's activities are always pretty much the same.
"It's because they're young and energetic," Liu Yinfeng said. "When I get to my age, I won't be able to climb anymore, even if I wanted to."
Luo Yan wasn't sure what would happen to her in the future, and said, "I can't climb anymore now."
Just thinking about it made her legs ache, so she decided to take a shower before it got too late.
Luo Xinmin was worried, so he dropped his daughter off at the entrance of the bathhouse and then played chess in the alley while timing his departure to pick her up later.
Luo Yan sometimes felt quite guilty, especially during the years her brother went to the countryside, because her father's legs were even more inconvenient in winter, and he was prone to losing his footing when it snowed.
Admittedly, she was used to being taken care of by her family and knew that they didn't want her to have any burden, because a family is supposed to support each other.
Therefore, Luo Yan only felt a little uncomfortable and talked to her father as usual on the way.
The father and daughter always had a lot to talk about, and they could discuss anything from school to workplace.
Luo Xinmin said, "The new staff in our department call you Sister Chen 'Auntie Chen,' so you can't make that mistake again."
Luo Yan nodded: "I do have some discernment."
Luo Xinmin: "You don't need to be too sweet-talking with male colleagues. If you just give them a little bit of a nice look, they'll assume you're interested in them."
Luo Yan is not good at interpersonal relationships, but she is very experienced in dealing with issues between men and women.
She said, "I'm very good at rejecting guys."
Luo Xinmin recalled that when his daughter was in elementary school, she was the one who was chased by boys the most. Because she was young, she didn't have the concept of hooliganism, and the children's expressions were very direct.
But their daughter was more direct, saying, "This is wrong, I'm going to tell the teacher."
She was also at the age when she first fell in love, so much so that for a while the couple thought it would take her a long time to realize it. They were only wary of their son, who had just been sent to the countryside, and repeatedly told him not to date anyone in northern Shaanxi.
As a result, the son is almost thirty and still has no marriage prospects, while the daughter's marriage is about to be put on the agenda.
Luo Xinmin was filled with mixed emotions when he thought about it. He said, "I'm not worried about you in this respect, and I believe you can handle the job. But the thought of you having to go to work really makes me anxious."
Luo Yan: "When I was in elementary school, you and my mom were like this too."
She didn't remember much about the Yuhong Class, but she guessed it was probably similar.
When it comes to elementary school, Luo Xinmin has many memories, and he tells his wife about them at length when he gets home.
Luo Yan felt she had made too many embarrassing mistakes, so she quickly went back to her room to sleep so she could get up early the next day to attend the meeting at school.
Although it was called a meeting, she didn't express any opinions. She just went with the flow and voted at the last minute to decide on a daily itinerary of visiting one attraction.
The class monitor wrote the schedule on the blackboard for everyone to copy, saying, "I forgot to tell you that you need to go to the office door to see if you've passed your defense."
After Luo Yan finished copying, she went to check it out and, satisfied with the result she had expected, went home.
As a result, he saw Zhou Weifang leaning against his motorcycle waiting at the school gate and secretly gestured to him a couple of times.
The two met at the corner, and Luo Yan asked, "Are you done?"
Zhou Weifang showed her the property certificate: "I'll have someone smash it up this afternoon. Do you have any requirements for the renovation?"
Requirements? Luo Yan only had two things: "A table where I can write properly, and a shelf to hold lots of books."
This isn't included in the renovation, Zhou Weifang: "Aren't there any requirements, like the color of the tiles?"
Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "If I'm going to mop the floor, then I need a color that won't show dirt."
Zhou Weifang was reluctant: "I don't need you, I'll mop the floor."
Luo Yan: "Then it's your decision."
Whoever does the housework gets to decide everything; that's how it is in her family.
Fearing that she wouldn't be satisfied with his decision, Zhou Weifang said, "I'll pick a few colors, and then you can choose one from the middle."
"Okay," Luo Yan praised him for his good ideas and showed him the itinerary she had just copied down.
Zhou Weifang glanced at him and said, "You probably won't be able to get through these places even in three years."
Luo Yan actually thought so too, but she encouraged herself: "I can do it."
She has always been very active in group activities, but Zhou Weifang did not expect her to be so enthusiastic: "Okay, then have fun. If you get tired, just call me to pick you up. I'll take care of getting the renovations sorted out."
He glanced at his watch as he spoke, and Luo Yan asked sharply, "Is something the matter?"
Zhou Weifang: Yes, I need to go to Sanheli. Someone asked for leave this afternoon.
He now has many branches, but when there's a shortage of staff, he still has to fill in himself.
It's quite a distance from here to Sanheli; thankfully he was riding a motorcycle.
Luo Yan urged him, "Then hurry up and walk slowly."
Should we go fast or slow? Zhou Weifang didn't ask, just pinched her cheek and said goodbye.
Both were two-wheeled vehicles, but his was clearly much faster, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.
Luo Yan rode slowly by herself—not home, but to the department store to buy a pair of the most popular Feiyue track shoes, in preparation for her upcoming graduation activities.
Her shoes proved to be very useful, allowing her to walk briskly on the first day of graduation activities.
But she was only holding on by willpower. When she got home, she didn't even have the strength to go to the public bathhouse. It was rare for her to voluntarily take a bath at home. After taking a few steps, she could lie on the bed and stare motionlessly at the beam.
Luo Hong brought his sister a late-night snack. He knocked on her door and received a "Come in" reply. He opened the door and burst out laughing: "Are you still going to the Old Summer Palace tomorrow?"
"What about tomorrow?" Luo Yan said weakly, "We already went today."
The plan was to visit one place per day, but when we came out of the Forbidden City, everyone said they still had the energy to go to the next place. Her opinion was insignificant among the crowd, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along.
Luo Hong knew his sister's physical condition and asked, "Are you going out again tomorrow?"
Luo Yan drawled, "I don't know."
Despite her words, she bravely got up the next day.
Liu Yinfeng was both amused and exasperated, and said, "If you can't walk anymore, then forget it."
Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, how many times in a lifetime can one have this?"
In the end, he gritted his teeth and left.
For several days in a row, she lost a lot of weight. Finally, she was able to temporarily end this crazy itinerary and rest at home, sleeping until lunchtime.
Liu Yinfeng hadn't even planned to wake her up for lunch, but when she saw her get up on her own, she said, "Let me sleep a little longer."
Luo Yan yawned, "But I'm so hungry."
Liu Yinfeng: "Then go brush your teeth, I'll make you some milk."
Luo Yan ate a few bites of milk and pastries to tide her over, then ate a large bowl of noodles with three fried eggs on it, and said contentedly, "I want to sleep a little longer."
Look how tired she is. She wasn't even this tired when we went on a long training exercise in the suburbs during junior high school. Liu Yinfeng said with concern, "Go quickly, I'll stew some meat for you tonight."
Luo Yan now struggles to even lift her leg. Lying on the bed, her eyelids gradually grow heavy, and she sleeps so soundly that she loses track of time. It took her two days to recover, and she got up early to eat as usual.
Living under the same roof, Luo Hong hadn't had a proper conversation with his sister for several days. Now he finally seized the opportunity to tease her: "You really should exercise more."
Luo Yan had just recovered when she stomped on her brother's foot with great force: "I'm perfectly healthy."
Luo Hong gasped: "You're the strongest when it comes to dealing with me."
Luo Yan hummed a song to herself in a provocative tone, her gaze sweeping over the calendar hanging on the wall: "Time flies, tomorrow is graduation."
Luo Hong: "So the job assignments will be released the day after tomorrow?"
The most important thing in the past two weeks has been this matter. Luo Yan had almost forgotten about it, but now she remembers: "Right, who wants to go see it?"
The whole family was concerned about this matter, and everyone raised their hands to sign up. Luo Yan said happily, "It just so happens that Zhou Weifang can borrow a camera. Let's take a picture at the school gate."
Although Jiaotong University is located in Beijing and can be visited whenever you want, it's still a good idea for a family of four to take a photo as a keepsake.
Luo Hong: "That's great. It's a big day in your life, you should take a picture."
He then teased, "Three big days in a row, I think you're going to have a very prosperous year."
Three? One day was graduation, one day was a job, and the other day was when Zhou Weifang came to visit.
These are indeed very important moments. Luo Yan: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, Mom is glaring at you."
According to old tradition, it is best for children to get married in order of seniority. Liu Yinfeng would grumble when she saw other families getting married, but lately, seeing her son looking more and more like a bachelor, she was too lazy to say anything to him and just rolled her eyes.
Luo Hong was now completely unfazed, chuckling to himself, only to be slapped by his own mother.
Liu Yinfeng didn't even want to hit him because it hurt her hand. She really couldn't stand him, so she said, "Since you're just idling around anyway, come and help me clean today."
Regardless of whether the three parties have visited a few times before, when they officially come to your door, you should tidy up properly.
Although the brother and sister both felt it was unnecessary, they still let their mother make the arrangements.
The main worker was Luo Hong, who even cleaned Huang Laishun's doghouse, working so hard that he couldn't lift his fingers and ended up lying down in the yard.
Luo Yan nudged her brother: "You should really start exercising."
Luo Hong almost threw the dirty rag in his hand at her, saying, "I've never seen anyone more vengeful than you."
He added, "Why should I be the one who gets tired when your partner comes to visit? If I'm going to be your wife in the future, it will be me."
How could that be? Luo Yan: "You'll still have Zhou Weifang to command then."
"I almost forgot about this kid," Luo Hong said, cracking his knuckles. "I've already put this on his record."
As long as it wasn't attributed to her, it was fine. Anyway, their score was a tangled mess. Luo Yan pretended not to hear and even took two steps back, looking completely unconcerned.
