Chapter 3: Self-introduction - The daily life of the sickly young lady eating melons in the courtyard

After being scrutinized by Lin's mother, Cen Xi introduced himself directly, "Auntie, my name is Cen Xi, I'm 25 years old, unmarried, and I'm an engineer who just joined the machinery factory. My salary is 106 yuan. If I get married, the machinery factory should allocate two more rooms to me.

There are parents and an older brother in my family. My brother is married and has two sons, but neither of us brothers live with our parents.

My mother followed my father in the army, my brother also served in the army, and my sister-in-law also followed the army."

The more Lin's mother listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she was completely shocked after hearing what she heard.

"You..." This condition is too good, it can't be a lie, right?

Then she shook her head again. The machinery factory was a big factory here and she could find out by asking around. This couldn't be a scam.

Then why does he like my daughter?

"Are you really... attracted to my daughter?" Mother Lin said, swallowing her saliva.

Cen Xi nodded heavily, and only his clenched fists showed his nervousness.

Lin Qing was also brought back to his senses by his increasingly loud voice.

Lin Qing looked at Cen Xi and blinked, not quite sure what was happening.

"Why?" Lin Qing looked at the handsome man in front of her and asked softly.

When Lin's mother heard this question, she came back to her senses from her excitement. Yes, why?

Cen Xi looked at the two similar pairs of eyes staring at him. He knew that this question was related to whether he could succeed, so he answered seriously: "When I first saw my comrade, I was delighted. I felt that I must seize the opportunity, otherwise time would not wait for me." He said the last sentence very firmly.

Lin Qing blushed the moment she heard this. How...how could there be such an unreserved man?

After hearing this, Lin's mother grinned happily. What a young boy! He fell in love at first sight.

However, although this person has good conditions, I still have to say some ugly things about him.

"Look at my daughter. You know her health is not very good. In the past, the conditions at home were not good, and she didn't take good care of her body. So she may not be able to have children in the future. Besides, she will have to spend more time and money to take care of her body. Are you sure you can do it?" Mother Lin didn't want to cheat others, nor did she want to harm her daughter in the future, so she said some ugly words in advance.

Cen Xi's expression became serious. "My parents are very democratic. They never interfere in our affairs. Besides, my family already has two grandchildren, so there is no shortage of people to carry on the family line. Even if... I don't want to have children in the future, that's fine."

Cen Xi's last sentence was directed to Lin Qing.

Lin's mother smiled immediately.

“Okay, okay!”

This gay man's conditions are better than those of the other gay men he has found. If he really doesn't mind his daughter's health, that would be perfect.

Lin's mother also felt that she couldn't find anyone better, so she immediately talked to Cen Xi about the engagement.

Both of them tacitly regarded this encounter as a blind date.

Lin's mother asked Cen Xi to go back and tell his parents about this matter first, and then come back to propose marriage. She also told them her address and identity.

"Comrade Lin Qing, just wait and I will go to your house to propose marriage in a few days." After saying this, Cen Xi carried the infusion bottle and walked out of the ward.

"Puchi~" Mother Lin burst out laughing when she saw him like this.

Lin Qing was even more dazed.

Propose a marriage? Why did you propose a marriage?

"Mom~" Lin Qing suddenly became a little flustered.

Mother Lin also heard the uneasiness in her voice and quickly patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

"Nannan, don't be afraid! Blind dates are normal. If we meet a good man, we should grab him quickly so as not to let ourselves down, right?"

"But isn't that too fast?"

"Not any more. His impatience shows how much he values ​​you!"

Lin Qing was still worrying about his fate in the previous second, but he didn't expect that his fate would take a different path in the next second.

This speed is so fast that she didn't expect that she would be engaged in a few days.

The next day, after Lin Qing was discharged from the hospital, at the first family lunch together, Lin's mother solemnly announced that someone would come to propose marriage in a few days.

Zhang Mei thought it was her future son-in-law who was proposing marriage, and asked happily, "Is Jiang Yang proposing marriage?"

In the past few days, after Lin Shu's lobbying, Zhang Mei has accepted Jiang Yang as her future son-in-law. Now that she hears that her future son-in-law is coming to propose marriage, shouldn't she be happy?

Her daughter-in-law also said that half of the betrothal money should be left for her brother. Zhang Mei felt that Jiang Yang was a level 4 worker after all, and the betrothal money must be quite a lot. If half of it was left for him, it would not be a small amount.

Because Lin Qing was in poor health, in order to prevent them from thinking that the whole family was supporting their young lady, Lin's father and mother had to pay for the food of Lin Feng, the eldest brother, when his family lived at home. Their family of four had to pay 20 yuan per month for food, and they had to pay the rest of their wages themselves.

As parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lin only charged them for food and did not care about anything else. In this way, Mr. and Mrs. Lin used their own wages to support their daughter, and they had no reason to object.

Zhang Mei really doesn't have much money. She is just a temporary worker and her salary is only a dozen yuan. Apart from paying food expenses to her family, the couple can still save about 20 yuan a month. But she gives some money to her parents' home every month, so the money left in her hands every month is only a few yuan. After all these years, she only has less than 200 yuan in her hands.

His daughter is marrying a second-married man with a child, so the betrothal gift must be quite a lot! At least 100 yuan, and half of it is 50 yuan! That is 1/4 of his savings, how can Zhang Mei not be happy?

"Who told you that Jiang Yang came to propose marriage?" Lin's mother glanced at her.

Lin Shu was about to lower his head in embarrassment when his movement suddenly froze.

"Then... who is that?" Zhang Mei was a little confused.

Isn’t she the only girl who has had a successful blind date recently?

If he wasn't here to propose marriage to her daughter, who else could it be? Could it be this sister-in-law?

Lin Qing held the bowl and lowered her head, not wanting others to see the shame on her face.

"Yes, that's right, I'm here to propose marriage to our daughter."

Father Lin also looked at his wife in shock: Why didn’t you tell me?

"Didn't I tell you?" Only then did Lin's mother realize that she seemed to have forgotten this matter last night because she was so excited.

Lin Feng and his son are usually the quiet ones at home, so even though they were a little shocked that their sister/aunt was getting engaged, they didn't act too out of control.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter anyway. You will be able to see the person in a few days anyway." Lin's mother didn't care about their opinions at all.

Father Lin poked his wife's arm and said: At least give me, the head of the family, some face!
