"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant. I'd like to ask how the preparations for the two tables for the day after tomorrow are going. Have you told the old man at home about the dinner the day after tomorrow?"
"I told you, my grandpa and auntie will be able to come over by then, so is there anything else? If not, let's go eat now."
Feng Meilan is a person who lives carefully, but she is not stingy and she is not at all stingy when it comes to spending money.
Besides, she knew a little about Da Shuang's family background and knew that the family was not short of money, so she couldn't be stingy with Da Shuang's friends.
"Sister-in-law, please go inside and see if you need anything. If there is anything you are missing, we can go to the department store after dinner and buy it."
Feng Meilan didn't think much about it. This house was decorated by her and Dashuang. Although there were not many new things in it, unlike a new house, Feng Meilan, who had lived alone with her younger brother for many years, was very satisfied to have a home of her own.
Besides, no matter who buys those things, they will be used for at least ten or twenty years. There is really no need to ask for good luck and throw away good things and replace them with new ones. Anything new or old is a good thing as long as it is usable.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the bright red washbasin with its brand new red paint without a single scratch. Then she looked at the soap box, towel, toothbrush, tooth cup, and even the toothpaste on it, all of which were newly opened. She felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
Although Da Shuang has no elderly people above her and no other relatives at home, these friends are more thoughtful than those so-called relatives. She blinked hard and followed Ye Zi's instructions to enter the new house.
When she saw the new bright red sheets, red pillowcases, and the neatly folded bright red quilt cover, Feng Meilan's eyes instantly filled with tears at the feeling of being cherished.
She quickly turned around and wiped her eyes. How long had it been since anyone paid attention to her inner feelings? It seemed like after her parents passed away, everyone told her that as the eldest sister, she should pay more attention to her younger brother.
No one has ever told Meilan that you are still young and should take more care of yourself. She can only be urged to grow up quickly, not be able to be pretentious, and carry the burden of a family on her thin shoulders.
No one ever cared about her or asked her if she wanted to do this or if she was willing to take on this responsibility. It seemed as if everything was so natural and should be borne by her alone.
If it weren't for her younger brother being considerate, she might not have been able to hold on for so long and would have become a deserter, quickly escaping from that tiring life.
It was only after meeting Da Shuang that someone began to care about what she was thinking, whether she would be tired, and whether she would be unable to bear this responsibility.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"You've thought of everything for us, but it's a bit too expensive."
Feng Meilan's voice was choked with sobs, but everyone pretended not to hear, looking at everything in the room with joy. As long as they could satisfy the bride, their work would not be in vain.
As she spoke, Feng Meilan looked at Dashuang and asked whether she should give them the money to buy these things. Among them, only Ershuang could still earn money, and the rest were all farming in the countryside, and could earn very little money throughout the year.
She was really embarrassed and thought that all this was taken for granted. She accepted it, which was a bit hot.
Da Shuang shook his head slightly to indicate that this should not be said. They were almost like brothers and sisters, and sometimes mentioning money would hurt feelings. He was also grateful to Ye Zi for being so thoughtful.
Meilan always said that we should save money when we can, and he just had to make do with what he could when he was alone.
For Da Shuang, who has been dependent on his younger brother since he was very young, the inner thoughts of women and how to organize the family are still very unfamiliar.
Just now, when I saw my wife secretly wiping away her tears, I knew that I was still far from doing enough. It seems that when I have nothing to do, I should learn from the older sisters and aunts in the unit.
Ershuang replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are being too polite. Okay, take a look and see if you need anything. If there is anything missing, please write it down and we will go to the department store to buy it together later."
"No, no, no, that's good enough. Even sheets and quilt covers are hard to buy. I wonder how you found them."
"It's no big deal, as long as you are satisfied." Chen Ye answered with a smile. The person who receives the gift likes sincere thanks, which is the best way to thank you.
Facts proved that Feng Meilan could be even more satisfied. After dinner, they split up into two groups. Dashuang and Feng Meilan went back home to see if there was anything else that needed to be sorted out.
Chen Ye and his friends went straight to the department store. As for looking at houses, they planned to go there when they had nothing to do in the evening. They were not in a hurry this time and planned to stay for two days.
Besides, Feng Meilan and her brother are still living in their original home and it won’t be rented out for a while.
The department store here has more things than the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. When he arrived, he directly brought a Peony brand sewing machine. Chen Ye had never heard of other brands, but he had heard that the Peony brand was good, so he definitely chose the most famous one.
When Feng Meilan saw the unboxing sewing machine, she couldn't help but shed tears. Her refusal didn't mean that she didn't like it, but that she just didn't want to spend so much money on it at one time.
But which woman doesn't want to have a sewing machine that belongs entirely to her? Nowadays, after a woman gets married, it seems that all the sewing and mending in the family will fall on her. It goes without saying that using a sewing machine is more labor-saving.
Feng Meilan rubbed her hands and looked at Dashuang, her big eyes full of admiration: "Isn't this too expensive?"
Dashuang knew that this wedding gift was too expensive, but thinking that it was bought by Ye Zi, he did not refuse it. There was still a long way to go in the future, and he could return it eventually. The most important thing now was that his wife was happy.
"like?"
Feng Meilan admitted openly: "I like it. Who wouldn't like this?"
"Then I asked you if you wanted it and you said no?" Da Shuang asked back pretending to be unhappy.
"That's not it, that's not it. I thought this thing was too expensive and there was no need to spend the money." Feng Meilan felt a little embarrassed. It seemed like she was saying one thing and meaning another.
In the end, it was just that his wife was too good at managing life: "As long as something is useful, it's worth it. From now on, just tell me what you want. If I can buy it for you, I will definitely buy it without hesitation."
"If you like it, stay. I accept Ye Zi's kindness. There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with each other in the future."
"Then I won't be polite."
"Why are you being polite? Ye Zi is like our sister. She's a wealthy woman, so we don't need to be polite to her. Being too polite will only hurt our relationship."
