It is not easy to get six beds of cotton wool from his hometown to the provincial capital. Wen's father carries three beds, Wen's mother is in poor health and takes her youngest daughter Wen Ling with her. Wen Heyuan's cousin Wu Donglin is also with her.
They first took the tractor of the production team to the town, then took the bus to the county seat, and then changed to a long-distance bus from the county seat to Dongshan. It is already evening.
Wen Ling has never traveled far since she was so old, and the nearest place she has been to is only the county seat. She vomited a few times along the way, and Wen's mother is not in good health. Hold on to something and fall down instantly.
Wu Donglin unloaded a few snakeskin bags from the roof of the car, his clothes were stained with a lot of dust, he wiped his sweat and said to his aunt and uncle, "Where are we going now? What about going directly to Heyuan Unit to find him?"
Wen Heyuan told his parents before that they must tell him in advance before they come, it is best to call him at the station before getting on the train, so that he can count the time to pick them up at the station.
But the husband and wife thought about their son, for fear of delaying his work, they didn't even mention today's departure, let alone make a phone call, so Wen Heyuan didn't know anything about it.
Wen Genmin looked at the sun in the sky, and there was already a tendency to go down the mountain, frowning on his simple and honest face, hesitantly said, "Is it possible to find He Yuan, I only have the phone number of his unit."
I heard from my son before that it seems that I get off work at five or six o'clock, and every time my son calls back to the village, he uses some public phone, and he has never called at work, which makes the couple call this matter. The matter has a shadow, and I always feel that once I hit him, it will have a bad impact on my son's work.
After all, Wu Donglin was more assertive than his aunt and uncle. He insisted on calling his cousin before talking, otherwise it would be dark soon, and he had to find a place to stay. It was very expensive to eat and stay in a hotel in the city.
So the four of them wandered around the station, and after being guided by someone, they found a place to make a call at a newsstand, and it cost 30 cents a minute.
According to the number on the note, someone answered after three or four rings. Wen Genmin happily called his son's name, but the voice of a young girl responded.
The other party asked, "Hello, are you looking for the Supervisory Officer?"
Wen Genmin sighed, he couldn't speak Mandarin, and replied in local dialect, "Yes, I am his father."
The other party understood this sentence, and responded, "Hello, uncle, I heard that the inspector has a meeting, and there is still about a quarter of an hour to end. When he comes back, can I ask him to call you back?"
Wen Genmin agreed, and kept thanking him on the phone.
The last call lasted more than one minute, and I was given 60 cents, enough to buy three eggs in the countryside.
Wen's mother Wu Anhong asked, "What's the matter? He Yuan isn't here?"
Wen Genmin rubbed his face and replied, "The meeting is over, and it will be over in ten minutes, let's just wait here for He Yuan to call back."
This waited until more than six o'clock. It turned out that after the meeting, the leader heard that He Yuan talked about something else. When he arrived at the office, the colleagues had already left work, and the female colleague who answered the phone left a note on his desk. .
Fortunately, Wen Heyuan is a conscientious and rigorous person, and he left work without returning the materials, but was planning to stay and sort out the meeting materials, otherwise he would not be able to see the message on the note.
After calling back, I hurried over to pick him up. It wasn't too late. After waiting at the door for five or six minutes, I finally got a taxi.
Wen Heyuan was anxious and angry when he saw his parents and family members. He felt sorry for them carrying a lot of things from their hometown, and was also "angry" that they didn't tell him in advance.
At the same time, he also understands that his parents' painstaking efforts are nothing more than trying to "introduce trouble" to himself as little as possible.
"Let's go back to where we live first, put our things down and go to eat."
Wen Heyuan reported the address of the wedding room after receiving the person, and the dormitory would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people.
He is going to let his parents bring his younger sister to live in the guest room over there, and he will take his cousin to live in the dormitory, or he can make a bed in the study.
Get out of the car, when the parents know that they want to live in the new house where the son and daughter-in-law get married, they are resolutely unwilling.
"We can live as long as we want, how can we live in if you haven't lived yet?"
"Mom, here is a three-bedroom house. Jingya reserved a room for you during the renovation. You can stay in a hotel if you want. The cheapest one nearby costs 20 yuan a night."
Wen Heyuan knew that as long as he said that, his parents would definitely not choose to live in a hotel, and the living expenses in his hometown were less than twenty yuan a month.
Sure enough, the husband and wife stopped talking when they heard that the hotel was so expensive. They couldn't really live on the street, could they
"You said your daughter-in-law reserved a room for us?"
Wu Anhong couldn't believe it, thinking that she had heard it wrong, Wen Heyuan picked up two cotton wool bags packed in snakeskin and nodded, "Yes, if you don't believe me, go and have a look, you'll know when you're tired all the way, go back and have a rest , I’ll send you there first and then come out to buy something to eat.”
"Oh, no need, we'll just have some steamed buns and pickles. I haven't finished eating what I brought at home."
Wen Heyuan smiled and said, "Mom, I haven't eaten just after get off work."
He never argues with his parents, and when he encounters a disagreement, as long as he presents his own, the parents will definitely change their minds.
Sure enough, when he heard that he hadn't eaten yet, his parents no longer cared about money and refused to let him buy food. Instead, they quickened their pace, fearing that their son would be hungry.
The thoughtful and stylish house shocked their parents. They had never seen such good furniture in their life, and there were so many electrical appliances. The TV was twice the size of the village head's house.
"He Yuan, this house is divided by the unit? Isn't the furniture and other things also divided?"
Wen Heyuan put his luggage by the wall, and took a few new pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet to exchange for them, and replied, "The house is divided, but the others are not. Jingya asked someone to redecorate it a while ago."
Wu Donglin visited the living room and was amazed at the brands of the electrical appliances, all of which were imported.
He helped Fangnian to buy a color TV at the village head's house and went to the county town to see it. He knew that imported goods were not only expensive but also difficult to buy, and that it had to be related.
He had heard before that his sister-in-law's family was in business, and it seemed that he was even richer than he had imagined.
With one week left before the wedding, Wen Heyuan asked his parents to stay, so he didn't have to come and go, and took his mother, Wu Anping, to a big hospital for a check-up by the way.
Wu Anping was not as nervous as before, but he still asked cautiously, "This... Is it suitable for us to live forever?"
Wen Heyuan took the beef with chopsticks and put it into his sister's bowl, and replied, "I'll call Jingya tomorrow, and when you see her, you'll know if I'm right."
The parents' impression of their fiancée was still the same as the unhappiness they had at the last meeting, but in Wen Heyuan's view, Bai Jingya has changed a lot, she is no longer so self-centered, and has learned to consider other people's feelings.
The parents looked at each other and didn't say anything. Although they were worried about their daughter-in-law, the wedding day was coming soon, so it was impossible not to meet each other.
Regarding the wedding, Bai Chaoyong once mentioned that all relatives of the Wen family could come to Dongshan City to attend the wedding, but the couple did not tell their relatives about it.
They think that people in the city are fastidious, and they are afraid that a joke at the wedding will embarrass their son, and they want to find another time for the young couple to return to the village to serve wine. The only worry is that the daughter-in-law will not agree.
The younger sister, Wen Ling, had never seen her future sister-in-law, so she was curious, so she raised her head from the meal and asked, "Sister-in-law is coming tomorrow? I heard that sister-in-law looks very good-looking."
Wen Heyuan patted his younger sister's head, and said with a smile, "Yes, my sister-in-law is very pretty, and you are also very pretty. Let's eat quickly, after a long day, go to bed early."
After dinner, Wen Heyuan left his parents and younger sister to rest at his new home, while he took his cousin to live in a dormitory not far away, and made an appointment to come over early tomorrow morning.
After the son left, the husband and wife couldn't sleep. They looked around the room carefully twice, and the more they looked, the more they felt that the original choice was right.
"Although we agreed to Mr. Bai's marriage not because their family is rich, it's fine now. Anyway, He Yuan can't go back to the village in this life. He is destined to marry a daughter-in-law from the city. Whoever he marries is not married."
Even if the son is willing to go back to the village, they are still unwilling. The ancestors of the Wen family were also rich, and the next generation is not as good as the previous generation. The son is the only hope of the Wen family.
"Then we won't go back? Wait until the wedding is over?"
Wen Genmin was a little hesitant, mainly because he had no such plan before coming, and wanted to deliver the things first, so as not to rush when he needed to use them, he sent them back first, and came by car the day before the day.
Wu Anping thought for a while and said, "Let's see first. Didn't He Yuan say that Jingya will come over tomorrow? If she can keep us a room, maybe it will be better."
Although they don't care about the Bai family, it's better for the daughter-in-law to be nice to them than to be like black corns every time they meet. They are afraid that Xi Shi will be deceived in the eyes of their son's lover, and they will stay as far away as they planned Far away, let the young couple live on their own.
The couple pretended to have something to do and didn't sleep well all night. The only one who slept soundly until dawn was their daughter Wen Ling, who woke up smiling all over her face in the morning and said that the mattress was soft and comfortable.
Seeing her daughter's innocent appearance, Wu Anping couldn't help but vaccinate her in advance.
"Lingling, your sister-in-law is younger than your brother, she's a bit childish, and she's the only child in the family, she's spoiled, if she says anything unpleasant, it's for your brother's sake that she has to bear it."
Wen Ling put away her smile and asked, "Mom, do you mean that my sister-in-law has a bad temper? Did she say anything nasty to you? But yesterday my brother said that she is very good."
Wu Anping couldn't explain so much, her daughter was still young, and she didn't understand that women were sometimes different in front of men than they were in front of other people.
However, she is not very demanding, as long as the daughter-in-law knows to treat her son with sincerity, the reason why she confessed these things is that she is afraid that her daughter will offend her daughter-in-law or cause unhappiness, which is a precautionary measure.
At around seven o'clock, Wen Heyuan bought breakfast and came over to eat with them, and told them that they could go shopping nearby in the morning, but they had to go home at noon.
"I'll call Jingya when I get to work. Recently, she's free at home every day. Let's have dinner together at noon."
The new home has a telephone line but has not yet installed a telephone. Wen Heyuan decided to ask the staff of the post office to arrange it as soon as possible, so that he can contact his parents at any time.
Bai Jingya had just woken up when she received the call. Recently, she went to bed early and woke up late to take care of her body. She had to make sure that the wedding day was radiant and flawless.
"Aunt and uncle are here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you living in a new place? It doesn't matter, I don't care too much, as long as I don't sleep in the marriage bed. Then I will go there after breakfast, and I can take them out for a walk in time. If there is an arrangement at noon, I will call you."
After hanging up, Bai Jingya chose a set of relatively conservative and comfortable clothes to go out. Recently, she was looking for items for a clothing store, and she bought a lot of clothes from the brand dealers. There were a lot of them with bare shoulders, waist and legs. The old man must not be used to it.
After changing clothes and going downstairs, Aunt Liu knew she was going out when she saw that she was carrying a bag, so she hurriedly brought out breakfast.
"I'm going to get married and go out to work? Don't make yourself too tired. Come back for lunch?"
Bai Jingya took a sip of rice porridge and shook her head, "No, He Yuan's parents and sister are here, and I have to accompany them for a day."
"Yo, my in-laws are here, so do I have to invite them to my house?"
Bai Jingya ate another mouthful of steamed buns and said, "I don't need it today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
In the future, her parents-in-law will be honest farmers, Bai Jingya is not worried that they will be difficult to deal with, and will take care of them with all her heart, not for anything else but because they are Wen Heyuan's parents.
Although the goal of the mission is to get married, she seems to be able to achieve it right away, but what she wants to get a high score in this mission depends on Wen Heyuan's love value for her. The higher the love value, the higher the score, and vice versa.
The current love value in the system is only 19, and there is huge room for improvement, so you must work hard.
