Chapter 7 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 6
While waiting for his beloved party to send his future wife off, Lin Dajun returned to his room drunk.
Fang Yan was furious when she saw him looking drunk. She threw the towel aside and said, "You look drunk like this, the alcohol will suffocate me. Go wash your face with cold water and sober up. I have something to tell you later."
Lin Dajun staggered and laughed, "Today... today... I am happy..."
Fang Yan soaked the towel in cold water and threw it on his face.
Lin Dajun was startled by the coolness and sobered up a lot. He wiped his face with a wet towel and looked at his wife's face: "What's wrong? Today is such a festive day, who made you unhappy?"
Fang Yan rolled her eyes at him: "You only remember the party, what about our daughter's marriage? When she was little, you hurriedly married her off. Now she's 23, why aren't you in a hurry?"
When Lin Dajun heard that it was his precious daughter's wedding, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and sobered up completely. "Why are you in such a hurry? If it doesn't work out, I will support her for the rest of her life, so that she won't be bullied by others."
Fang Yan glared at him again: "Girls can't be kept when they grow up. If you keep them, they will become enemies."
She sat on the bed and said, "That's the key, isn't it? Why do I feel that our daughter has become disillusioned with marriage because of the divorce? Look, it's been three years, and free love is popular now, why doesn't she show any signs of finding a partner?"
Lin Dajun thought about it and it seemed so. His daughter went to work and came home every day, and occasionally accompanied his wife shopping. It seemed that she seldom went out to make friends. How could she fall in love without making friends?
"Tomorrow you can ask around and see if there are any families with talented people of the right age. If we cast a wide net, we will always be able to catch a fat fish, otherwise the good ones will be picked up by others..." As his wife muttered, Lin Dajun felt drunkenness and sleepiness coming over him...
Fang Yan has been going out early and coming back late every day recently.
After she mentioned her daughter's marriage to her husband that day, Lin Dajun did give her a list of young talents a few days later. It was said that he got the information by drinking with his old friend.
Haha, Fang Yan sneered. She no longer believed in her husband's judgment.
So, recently she went to hang out near the homes of the people on the list every day, and liked to chat with the old ladies in the nearby vegetable markets. As a result, Fang Yan almost went to all the vegetable markets in Beijing to buy vegetables these days.
Candidate No. 1 was a regiment leader in the army. He looked like a rough dumpling in the photo, so I was not very satisfied with him. Then I called the girls in the army and found out that he was a good guy, his father died early and his mother was a widow, and he had four younger brothers and sisters waiting for him to support them. I kicked him off the list without hesitation.
Candidate No. 2 is from Beijing and is quite good-looking. After asking around, I found out that he actually had a former girlfriend who was in love with him, but her parents were not satisfied with her rural hukou and persuaded her to break up. Kicked off the list.
No. 3 is good-looking, works in the government, has a clean emotional experience, and is from Beijing. But he is the only son in three generations, so the girl will have to bear a lot of fertility pressure once she gets married. Now civil servants can only have one child, if Nan Nan gives birth to a little girl, then... it's still to be determined.
…………
Alas, Fang Yan drew another cross on the list. Why is it so difficult to find a suitable candidate?
On her way home from get off work, Lin Xiang stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative and happened to see brown sugar on sale. She quickly squeezed into the counter with the sugar coupon. "Comrade, please give me two kilograms of brown sugar."
After the bicycle was parked in the yard, Lin Xiang happily carried brown sugar to the kitchen and said, "Sister-in-law, brown sugar is on sale today. I bought two kilograms. You can take one kilogram."
Fang Shufen looked at her younger sister, whose skin was as white as snow, whose teeth were bright and white, and whose figure was graceful and elegant. She then thought of the gay man sitting in the living room. She had to admit that in terms of appearance, the two of them were very well matched.
"Hey, thank you, Nannan. When the candy coupons are issued tomorrow, I will buy you White Rabbit candies." Fang Shufen looked at her sister-in-law with a smile and said mischievously, "Nannan, I don't have any hands now, so help me bring this Beijing-style pork shreds to the table."
"Okay." Lin Xiang washed her hands in the copper basin, then walked to the restaurant with the dishes in her hands.
Cheng Jianfeng sat in the study and faced Lin Dajun's scanning eyes. He felt a little uneasy. He was just delivering some special products on behalf of his good friend Lin Weidong. Why was his uncle examining him as if he was interrogating an enemy soldier?
Lin Dajun looked at the young man in front of him and nodded secretly in his heart. Not bad, not bad. His youngest son finally did something reliable this time.
A retired soldier who had just transferred to the police station as a captain, he was in good health. Wei Dong said in the letter that he had an older brother, his father was a chef in a state-owned hotel, and his mother worked in a bank.
Although my family is in Hebei, we will settle down in Beijing in the future, which is perfect since my daughter won’t have to marry far away.
He stood up and patted the young man on the shoulder, watching him move without moving with satisfaction: "Come on, it's time for dinner, stay and have dinner with us today."
Lin Xiang had just put down her plate and turned around to see a tall gay man following her father. She looked at him curiously, as it was the first time she saw such a young guest coming to her home.
She smiled politely and said hello to her father: "Dad, I'm going to the kitchen to help my sister-in-law."
Lin Dajun looked at the dark red color on Cheng Jianfeng's face with satisfaction. Even his dark skin could not hide it. He felt very proud that his daughter was really good and even this young man was dumbfounded.
Cheng Jianfeng stood there silently, still glancing at the receding figure from the corner of his eye.
She was wearing a yellow plaid shirt, a yellow silk scarf tied around her neck, and grey overalls that made her legs look straight and slender. She looked energetic and capable. Her eyes were big like black grapes under her curved light eyebrows. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and her oval face was radiant with light.
It was like a fairy from a childhood story had come out.
Lin Dajun asked casually, "Comrade Xiao Cheng, you are almost 27 years old. Your parents must be anxious for you to get married..."
In the kitchen, Fang Shufen sat on the stove and looked at her sister-in-law's indifferent expression from time to time. Her mother-in-law asked her to find out her daughter's attitude, but was she interested in her daughter or not?
Lin Xiang had already noticed her sister-in-law's staring at her. She put the shredded potatoes aside and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I heard that Captain Cheng who came today participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Vietnam. His unit was very brave, and he himself was injured and retired in this war." Fang Shufen hinted.
Hearing this, Lin Xiang's eyes lit up with admiration. She had great respect for the soldiers who defended their country.
The comfortable life in the first few years of their previous life was entirely dependent on those soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice, otherwise there would be no way for ordinary people like them to survive.
"Captain Cheng is truly amazing!"
"Yeah, I think so too, and he..."
Listening to her sister-in-law's endless introduction of Captain Cheng, Lin Xiang seemed to understand what her family meant.
As a 23-year-old "older woman" who has not found a new partner, her family seems to be worried.
She had never been married in her previous two lives. In her first life, she had a relaxed social environment and was only focused on making money. She occasionally dated a few people, but marriage was not something she considered.
Unfortunately, before she could spend all the money she had saved with great effort, she fell into the icy river along with the bus.
Her second life was precarious, and few people would establish such a long-term relationship. After all, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or a zombie.
In this life, she felt that it would be fine to just live an ordinary life with the original owner's parents. However, if not getting married would make her parents worry, then getting married would be fine.
Thinking of this, she kept cutting the green pepper with the knife.
