Li Li was a little helpless after realizing what was happening. "Are you two checking my household registration? How can I answer so many questions?"
Pan Ning looked at her seriously and said, "What's our relationship? Of course we have to ask you about your relationship. Come on, tell us the truth. These are all very important. If it's too bad, it won't work."
Jian Shu also nodded and said, "Lily, marriage is not a child's game, it is a very serious matter that affects the rest of your life.
While these issues are realistic, they are also necessary, and they all require you to carefully weigh the pros and cons.”
There are almost no divorces in this era. Once two people get married, it is a lifelong commitment. Even if life is not easy in the future, most people will just make do with it.
So be careful before getting married and don’t risk the rest of your life on it.
Pan Ning began to ask questions, "When did you two start dating? I've never heard you mention it before."
Li Li blushed and lowered her head shyly, saying, "I've been dating since the beginning of the month, for more than half a month now."
"What a shame! It's been such a long time and you've only just told us. Do you still consider us as good sisters?" Pan Ning became anxious when she heard this and immediately put her hand on Li Li's waist and tickled her.
"Oh...hahaha...stop tickling me, it's so itchy haha..." Li Li wanted to avoid Pan Ning's hand, but she was too sensitive. After being tickled, she fell limp in Pan Ning's arms, laughing so hard that she was out of breath.
"Stop it, haha, listen to me...listen to me...explain..."
Li Li has been ticklish since she was little, and her waist is her Achilles' heel. When someone tickles her, her whole body goes limp. Having known each other for so many years, Pan Ning knows this inside out.
"Hurry up and tell me. If I'm not satisfied with your explanation, hehe..." Pan Ning finally stopped what he was doing, but his tone was full of threats. Li Li knew that if her explanation didn't satisfy her, there would definitely be other "tortures" waiting for her.
After sitting back down, Li Li calmed down for a moment and immediately explained, "I just wanted to get in touch with him first to see what he's like. Of course, I'll only bring him to you if he's satisfactory. If he's not, there's no point in bringing him to you."
"From what you said, it seems that you are quite satisfied with him?" Jian Shu understood the meaning of her words, raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.
Even though Li Li is usually carefree, she still feels a little shy when it comes to this kind of topic.
However, everyone present was close to her, so she didn't hide anything and simply nodded to confirm Jianshu's words.
"I've been getting along well for a while now, and I'm telling you today because I want you to help me check it out."
Pan Ning did not pursue the previous incident any further. His good friend's happiness was more important.
He asked seriously, "How did you two know each other? How old is he? What does he do?"
Li Li began to explain honestly, "My second brother introduced him to me. He is 23 years old and works in a machinery factory."
Introduced by Li Li’s second brother, relatively reliable, pending confirmation; neither too young nor too old, approved; has a formal job, approved.
Jianshu weighed all the information in his mind, and the information he said for now was okay.
Pan Ning continued to ask, "What's the salary? What's your height and appearance like?"
"He earns 42.5 yuan a month. He's pretty, fair-skinned, and about the same height as my second brother."
The salary is not low, passed; fair appearance, other unknowns, to be determined; height 173cm, Li Li is 160cm, passed.
People nowadays don’t have enough nutrition, and being 173cm tall is above the average, which is pretty good.
Pan Ning showed no expression and continued to ask, "What about the others? What's their family situation like?"
Li Li looked at Pan Ning's calm expression and was unsure of what she was thinking, so she had to continue answering nervously.
"His parents both work at a machinery factory. His father was a retired soldier and was assigned to the factory. He's a leader there. He has an older brother, and his sister-in-law and her children went with the army."
Parents have jobs and no burden, so it's approved; there is only one older brother, so the family is small, so it's approved; the sister-in-law is with the army, so there are no sisters-in-law issues for the time being, so it's approved.
"How big is his house? Where will you live after you get married?" Jian Shu asked.
Housing conditions in Beijing are tight, so housing is something that must be considered when getting married.
"His family lives in a house allocated by the machinery factory, which is over 50 square meters. His father is a leader, and his family has two working parents, so they got a pretty big house a few years ago.
He said that after marriage he would live with his parents, and that there weren’t many people at home, so the house was quite spacious.”
The house is over 50 square meters, approved; it has a separate room, approved.
Although we have to live with our elders, there is no other way. How can we live on our own? Unless the company allocates housing.
However, the number of housing units allocated by the company is limited, competition is fierce, and it also depends on qualifications, and generally, priority is given to working couples.
Li Li and her boyfriend do not work in the same unit, so the probability of them being able to live separately after marriage is extremely small, basically impossible.
"Did he tell me who his parents will be with in the future? Do you have to hand over your salary after you get married?" Jian Shu asked again.
Although she had never been in love or married in her previous life, she still knew these practical problems.
Li Li nodded and replied, "His brother is in the army, so his parents will live with him in the future. They have also agreed to separate after they get married.
He told me that we don’t have to hand over our salary to his parents, we can just keep it ourselves. His parents usually pay for the household expenses.
After we got married, he gave me his salary and savings for safekeeping."
After listening to Li Li's words, Jian Shu nodded silently in his heart.
Separating the family property after marriage is approved; parents-in-law have high salaries and can subsidize the household expenses, which is approved; handing over the salary after marriage is approved.
Pan Ning nodded and asked, "It seems like this guy is quite good. Is he nice to you? Are his family members easy to get along with?"
"He is a nice guy and treats me very well. I haven't met his parents, so I don't know what they are like, but he said his father is a bit serious and his mother is quite easy-going." Li Li thought Pan Ning was a good person and said with a smile.
She is quite satisfied with her current partner, but it would be difficult if Pan Ning was not satisfied. It is so good now that she doesn't have to be caught in the middle.
"It's okay for his father to be serious. When you marry him, you will be his daughter-in-law, and you two won't interact often. The most important thing is his mother. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most important." Jian Shu said.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal problem, and Li Li also knows its importance.
"My second sister-in-law was bullied by my mother after she married my second brother, and that's why my second brother tried to move out.
If my second brother introduces someone to me, he will definitely check it out. If his mother is difficult to deal with, my second brother will not introduce him to me. "Li Li still trusts her second brother very much.
"Besides, his family is friendly with my second sister-in-law's family. For my second sister-in-law's sake, I won't have a bad life if I marry him."
