Pan's house, after dinner.
After dinner, it’s time to get down to business.
Pan Ye's uncle Ye Shaolan took the tea cup and smelled it, then looked at the tea leaves in the cup in surprise:
"Hey, brother-in-law, this is incredible. This is a special Longjing tea with one bud and one leaf. It's so precious. I haven't had it in years."
Father Pan smiled and said:
"If this was before liberation, drinking some Longjing would not be a big problem under my conditions. Now... Xiaoqi brought this tea. I'm not borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha and giving it to Dean Shen, Doctor Lin and my two brothers-in-law."
Dean Shen and Lin Kushen both smiled and said nothing. If Lin Sanqi had good things, it would be impossible for him to miss out on his godfather and biological father, so they were not jealous at all.
On the contrary, Pan Ye's two uncles took a higher look at the nephew and son-in-law in front of them.
Being an official these days is already a big deal, but being able to get supplies that others can't get, so that the whole family, young and old, and even relatives and friends can have enough to eat, is a great skill.
Ye Shaolan was not a shy person either, she smiled and nodded:
"Okay, I am very satisfied with this nephew-in-law. He is young and promising and has a bright future. I agree to this marriage!"
Pan Ye's uncle met for the second time, and he smiled and nodded: "I don't have any objection, haha."
Dean Shen was very happy. He was playing the role of matchmaker today and had the highest status, so he decided:
"Okay, since you women have no objection, then I will formally propose to the Pan family on behalf of the Lin family and Xiao Qi. Xiao Yezi needs academic qualifications, tutoring, and good looks. Regardless of whether I am the unit Both the leaders and the elders are very satisfied. Lao Lin, you and your wife should also express your opinions.”
This is the third time that Lin Sophora has become a father-in-law. He has long been indifferent to favors and humiliations, but he still gave a positive statement:
"When the peach blooms, its flowers shine brightly. When my son returns, he will be suitable for his family. We, the Lin family, are lucky enough to have found a good daughter-in-law. I am very satisfied!"
Almost all of the people present were literate people. Naturally, they were extremely happy when they heard Dr. Lin use famous lines from the Book of Songs to describe Pan Ye. This is the highest praise for a woman.
Jin Caifeng also followed closely and said:
"As my future mother-in-law, I would like to express my opinion that if Xiao Qi dares to bully Xiao Yezi when she comes to our house in the future, I will be the first to refuse. I will treat my three daughters-in-law as daughters and will never be partial. All of them are my babies!”
Ye Shaolan took the lead in applauding: "Okay, okay, my little Yezi is so lucky!"
Father Pan and Mother Pan were naturally so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. To be honest, Father Pan has a special status now, and most people really don't dare to have his daughter.
If a high-quality man like Lin Sanqi could become his son-in-law, Pan's father and Pan's mother would naturally be willing to do so a hundred or ten thousand times.
Dean Shen chuckled and said:
"Okay, the parents of both parties agree, and the two uncles and our husband and wife have witnessed it, then it's done, haha, this is my first time as a matchmaker. I will be the host next time. Let's have a few drinks to celebrate."
Lin Sanqi quickly expressed his position: "I can provide you with any kind of wine."
Hehehe~~~
After Dean Shen finished laughing, he said seriously:
"Professor Pan, two uncles, it stands to reason that when we marry a daughter-in-law, we should be very careful about it. Marrying Pan Ye in eight carriages is a proper marriage to a famous matchmaker. I know you Lao Bei have a lot of amazing rules.
But you also know that our country has been in difficulties in the past few years. Xiaoqi does have the ability to do great things, but we can't be too high-profile, especially since Xiaoqi is now a leading cadre, and he must work hard and be simple. Lead by example. ”
Father Pan smiled and waved his hand:
"Dean Shen, I understand. If someone opens dozens of tables now and serves chicken, duck, fish and meat, he will probably be reported tomorrow if he holds a banquet today. So let's do it as simple as possible. The key points are two Small love for each other, we don’t value other formalisms.”
Ye Shaolan also expressed his position:
"Yes, in the new society, marriage naturally has a new atmosphere. I think it would be good to simply get a certificate and have a family dinner together."
My uncle Ye Gulan also quickly echoed: "It's good, it's good!"
Dean Shen nodded, very satisfied with the Pan family's understanding and courtesy, and then continued:
"There is also the issue of the wedding room. It stands to reason that Xiaoqi has now become the deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Not only does the salary increase to 460 yuan a month, but he can also enjoy various benefits such as housing, small stoves, transportation subsidies, etc. .
But again, Xiaoqi is a new cadre and he is still young. As soon as he comes up, the unit will be given a big house and he will have to live in a small kitchen. This has a bad influence. So my suggestion is that Xiaoqi’s new house should be in the waterside pavilion in the back garden of Gege Mansion. How about it? ”
Lin Sanqi's current treatment is on par with Dean Shen.
The house assigned to Dean Shen consists of three main rooms in the middle courtyard of Gege Mansion, plus the left and right side rooms, which is equivalent to giving him the best five rooms in the courtyard.
Logically speaking, Lin Sanqi should also find a big house for him in Gege's mansion. If there is no room in Gege Mansion, it can be allocated from other places.
Mother-in-laws these days are different. They don’t require the man to have a four-bedroom house within the third ring road.
Pan's mother quickly expressed her position: "Yes, Xiaoqi and our Yezi are still young, and they live in the work unit most of the time. The wedding room can be casual. We have no objection to this. My Yezi is not a person who cannot endure hardships." .”
A girl who dares to go to the night market alone in the dark must be a girl who can endure hardship.
Pan Ye has been to Lin Sanqi's waterside pavilion. She is actually quite satisfied with the house. Except for being a hot spot in summer and having a lot of mosquitoes, everything else is pretty good.
Lin Sanqi didn't think so. What he was thinking was that he was getting married for the first time in his life. How could he deal with it casually?
Since we can't do anything big, we must at least give Pan Ye the best living environment. What's the point of living in a small shabby house in the back garden?
A mother-in-law treats three daughters-in-law equally with a bowl of water, and he, a husband, naturally cannot treat one wife favorably or the other with respect to two wives from two different eras.
"Ahem, this, this, actually, you don't know, I have already prepared the wedding room."
Huh?
Everyone in the room looked at Lin Sanqi in surprise, including Lin Sanqi and Jin Caifeng. His parents didn't know what kind of medicine their son was selling in his gourd.
Pan Ye was also a little curious, because she had never heard Lin Sanqi talk about the house.
Dean Shen was a little confused and worried that Lin Sanqi would make a mistake, so he hurriedly asked: "What house? Where is it?"
"The house is not far away. It is in East Mianmian Hutong. It is a two-story house. I have had it repaired before and it is ready to live in at any time."
Jin Caifeng also has some key points: "Qizai, where did this house come from? Will you make a mistake?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said:
"Don't worry, this house was given to me by Mr. Fu from Dongsiertiao. I have a good relationship with him. He was afraid that he would not be worthy of his virtue and was spending his family wealth, so he gave me a house. The transfer procedures are all complete. Yes, the house is right here with me.”
Hearing what Lin Sanqi said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was a voluntary gift, it wouldn't be a big problem, not to mention that the transfer procedures had been completed.
Dean Shen was delighted when he heard this:
"Okay, East Mianmian Hutong is not far from here. How about we go and have a look at the wedding room? While the Chinese New Year is still more than half a month away, your parents will buy some things so that you can get married during the Chinese New Year."
When the people in the room heard this, they started to make a fuss. They all stood up and wanted to see what the wedding room prepared by Lin Sanqi looked like.
The distance between the shipping warehouse and East Mianmian Hutong was less than two miles, and it took a few people more than ten minutes to walk there.
Lin Sanqi opened the courtyard door and everyone filed in.
Father Pan and his two uncles looked at it very carefully and pointed from time to time.
Dean Shen quietly touched Lin Sophora and whispered:
"Your little son is really amazing. It's a pity that he is now. If he had been in troubled times a few decades earlier, he would have been the number one figure in the world. Even now, it is easy for him to go abroad to live in a villa and get in and out of a car, but He still stays at home to build the country, which is not easy.”
Lin Kushen looked at the big house in front of her and chuckled:
"Back then, our Lin family had big houses in Huadu and Xiangjiang. This courtyard house was still much smaller than the small western-style house I had in Huadu. Like when I was young, I dared to venture and fight hard, haha."< br>
Jin Caifeng, along with Pan's mother and godmother Wang Huiqin, took Pan Ye to visit the courtyard house.
"Well, this house is really clean and well-furnished. Xiao Yezi, your wedding room will be located in the east room of the main house. It's big enough. The west room will be used as a study. Mother-in-law, what do you think? ”
What does Pan’s mother think? This single-family house belongs to my daughter. She can live wherever she wants from now on, and there will be no outsiders anyway.
"Okay, okay, my Yezi is so lucky. I didn't expect that Xiaoqi even prepared a wedding room for being so silent."
As a matchmaker, Wang Huiqin naturally has to say a few words:
"This shows that Xiao Qi likes Xiao Ye very much and wants to marry Xiao Ye home. Otherwise, she would not be so interested in quietly setting up a wedding room. And you see, it has obviously been renovated. How much does it cost? Money.”
When Pan's mother and Pan Ye heard this, they felt happy.
These days, most large courtyards in Forty-Nine City do not have electricity. Even if there is electricity, because the electricity bill is unified, it means how much a family pays, so each household only has one light.
The place is small and one lamp is enough. If the place is large and there are many electric lights, then the electricity bill will be charged based on the number of light bulbs, which ordinary people simply cannot bear to part with.
But in Lin Sanqi's courtyard, every room is equipped with electric lights, and there are even street lights in the courtyard. The bright lights represent modernization, and who doesn't pursue that.
Pan Ye stood up and walked from room to room. What flashed in his mind was the happy life after marriage, not to mention how beautiful it was in his heart... (End of Chapter)
