Chapter 1518 Adopted Daughter 54
Yuanchun glanced at the date on the letter, and then silently calculated the time it would take to get here by train from the ministry. She immediately shouted anxiously, "Cousin, Brother Xiang Yi will be home this evening. Please cook more dishes tonight and buy a pound of pork belly. Brother Xiang Yi loves the braised pork you make."
Li Chunlan said, "Master, I have pork belly in my storage space, so you don't need to buy it."
The simulated robot is equipped with a five-square-meter storage space chip, which can also preserve fresh food. Li Chunlan is responsible for the meals at home. She conscientiously stores a full space of various foods for her owner.
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Then fry another spicy fish nugget. Do you have any fish?"
"There's no fish meat, but there are still two fish heads."
"Then make chopped pepper fish head."
“No pepper.”
"I have some here."
Yuanchun took out a large can of chopped peppers from the space and gave them to Li Chunlan.
Li Chunlan put it into the space with a smile.
In fact, half of the food in her space was placed there by Yuanchun. Otherwise, with no money or tickets and in those days of material scarcity, how could she have saved so much food?
After giving Li Chunlan instructions, Yuanchun took out her bicycle, rode it and rushed to the train station.
She bought the bicycle, a radio, a watch, a sewing machine, and the money and bills were all sent to her by Xiang Yi. When Xiang Yi came to spend the New Year with Yuanchun on New Year's Eve last year, Yuanchun nodded and agreed to date him.
Xiang Yi came this time with the intention of marrying Yuanchun.
He also drove here with his grandfather.
So, Yuanchun waited at the train station for a long time, but no one showed up. She thought she had miscalculated the date of Xiang Yi's arrival.
When she returned to the door of her house, she heard Xiang Yi's voice.
She ran into the house without even stopping her bicycle, and saw an energetic white-haired old man chatting with Grandma Chen under the eaves.
I don't know what they were talking about, but the two of them were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
"Yuanchun girl, you're back. Comrade Xiang's grandfather is here to propose to you. Come over quickly and have a good talk with Mr. Xiang." Grandma Chen waved at her with a smile.
Yuanchun was stunned. "Grandpa Xiang, you...are you here to propose marriage?"
"Yeah, that brat Xiang Yi is already 28 years old. The kids of his comrades-in-arms are already having kids. So, I am a little anxious to see him get married and start a family."
"Yuanchun girl, this is the matchmaker I hired."
The old man pointed at Grandma Chen.
Yuanchun and Xiang Yi were in a free love relationship, and Grandma Chen picked up a ready-made matchmaker.
Grandma Chen looked at Yuanchun cheerfully and said, "Girl, now that you have graduated, you don't have to study anymore. Just prepare to get married and don't let Comrade Xiang keep waiting for you."
"Grandma Chen, I agree, but I don't know the customs of marriage. Can you help me with the wedding?"
"Nowadays, weddings are simple and plain. Both parties just need to get a marriage certificate and then the two families can sit together and have a meal."
In this day and age, this is how marriage is done, saving time, effort and money.
Seeing that she agreed to get married, Xiang Yi looked at her with a burning gaze, "Wife, you're back. I heard from my cousin that you went to the train station. I was just about to pick you up."
Then, he pulled her into the house, pointed at the things piled on the table, and said, "Wife, these things are bought by grandpa as your betrothal gift."
"So many, isn't that too much?"
Yuanchun's attention instantly fell on the table.
There were cloth, tea, liquor, a pig thigh, a five-jin piece of mutton, a box of hairtail, a box of shrimp, and a ginseng root...
Xiang Yi took the bundle on the chair and handed it to her, "Open it and take a look. This is a gift I prepared for you. See if you like it."
"What gift?" Yuanchun curiously opened the bundle and saw clothes and leather shoes inside.
"I asked my cousin to buy the top one at the Imperial Capital Department Store, and I bought the bottom one for you when I passed by Hai City. There are eight sets of clothes in total, two sets for each season, six pairs of leather shoes, two pairs of padded shoes and single shoes, and two pairs of sandals."
"Five pounds for dime, and the underwear and pajamas I asked my cousin to buy for you, all in your size."
Yuanchun also found three bras and three pairs of panties, which came in a set.
Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she said softly, "Why did you let my cousin buy me underwear? It's so embarrassing."
Xiang Yi was slightly embarrassed, "I didn't ask you to buy those. My cousin bought them for you on her own initiative."
He explained, "My cousin is over 50 years old and treats you like a daughter. She gave birth to three boys but no daughter. She dreamed of having a daughter. She thought that when her son got married, she would be able to have a granddaughter. But her son was not up to the standard and gave her six grandsons but not a single granddaughter."
"When I asked her for help, she was so happy that she wanted to move the department store back home. Oh, by the way, she bought these underwear at the Friendship Store."
I also spent a lot of foreign exchange coupons.
He asked his grandfather to return the foreign exchange coupon to his cousin, but his cousin refused to take it and only told him that if his wife gave birth to a girl in the future, he must give her more hugs.
"The cousin you're talking about, isn't that Zuo Qing's mother?"
It was only after she confirmed her relationship with Xiang Yi last year that she found out that Zuo Qing was his cousin. According to seniority, Zuo Qing should call him uncle, but the two of them were friends who grew up wearing the same pants. Zuo Qing never called him uncle, only his name.
When he was a child, his mother corrected him several times, but it didn't work, so she just let him do what he wanted.
Xiang Yi nodded with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, she is Zuo Qing's mother. She is my eldest uncle's daughter. My mother was born unexpectedly when my grandmother was in her forties. My mother is the same age as my cousin. In fact, she is two months younger than my cousin."
So, his mother and cousin grew up together and were raised by their grandma and aunt like twin sisters. The two have a very good relationship.
When his mother died, my cousin cried so much that she fainted several times. It took her several years to gradually come out of the grief.
After their mother died, their grandfather was too busy to take care of them, so their cousin took them to the Zuo family and raised them as her own sons for more than ten years.
Therefore, his cousin is actually like a mother to him.
Yuanchun blushed as she packed the clothes and took them into her boudoir. She put the tea and white wine into the tea cabinet in the living room and gave all kinds of meat, vegetables and seafood to Li Chunlan.
In the evening, the Song family prepared a sumptuous banquet. Yuanchun asked Zheng Qiu to ride his bicycle to call Teacher Bai and Yuan Zhan and his wife to come and drink with them.
Grandma Chen, the matchmaker, was also present.
She originally wanted to invite Tiger Parents to come for dinner, but they made excuses not to come and were too embarrassed to come, so she asked Li Chunlan to fill two large bowls of meat and vegetables and send them next door.
At the dinner table, the wedding date was quickly set, the day after tomorrow.
"Are you a little anxious for the day after tomorrow?" Teacher Bai asked, "You haven't prepared anything for the wedding yet, right?"
