Life 1984

Chapter 68: Homecoming Son-in-Law?

Shen Xiulan was not intimidated by her mother's plan of threatening death.

She is also a woman and knows how to cry, make trouble and hang herself.

"Xiao Ling, please sweep the floor, I'm at work." Shen Xiulan turned around calmly, walked out the door, unlocked her bicycle, got on her bike and headed to her work.

"This, this!" Fang Peihua pointed at the door, too angry to speak.

She threw a set of punches that she thought were perfect, but ended up hitting the air?

The smile on Shen Xiuling's face could not be suppressed like the vast ocean. She forced her hand to cover her mouth to prevent her mother from finding out that she was laughing at her, so she used a broom to clean the floor.

Fang Peihua snatched the newspaper from her husband's hand and threw it on the table: "Look! You still care about national affairs! Take care of your family's small affairs! Your daughter is going to marry a self-employed person! Your Shen family's Where can I put my old face? Our Xiaolan looks very talented, has an urban household registration, and is a national cadre. How can she find a self-employed person from the countryside? "

Shen Guoming yawned and rubbed his face helplessly: "They are just in love, not talking about marriage yet. I think your worries are unfounded!"

"Hey, you have to wait until you hold your grandson before you are anxious?" Fang Peihua felt sad about the broken cup again, "What a good porcelain cup! If it breaks, I still have to spend money to buy it!"

Shen Xiuling finished cleaning the floor and said with a smile: "Mom, I have an idea. My family only has two daughters, and Li Yunhai's family has three sons. You can make Li Yunhai your son-in-law! No man in the city is willing to be my son-in-law. Son-in-law, but Li Yunhai is from the countryside and has no legitimate job. As long as he agrees, he can not only ask my sister to be his wife, but also get the provincial household registration. And you have a son and grandson, what a great thing? "

A door-to-door son-in-law is usually called a door-in-law, and his scientific name is Ruizhu.The son-in-law who comes to the house is equivalent to a puppet. He cannot do things according to his own ideas. He is left to the woman to arrange everything. The children he has will bear the woman's surname. He has no dignity in the family and his status is not even as good as a dog.

Shen Guoming shouted: "Xiaoling, what are you talking about?"

Fang Peihua groaned, raised her hands, slapped her hands hard, and laughed loudly: "Xiao Ling is not talking nonsense, this is a good idea! If Li Yunhai is willing to agree, then we will not object to this marriage!"

Shen Guoming frowned and sneered twice: "I think Li Yunhai is a man of character and there is no way he can be my son-in-law!"

He is a man, and of course he understands the pain and helplessness of a visiting son-in-law.

Fang Peihua crossed her arms and said plausibly: "If he doesn't agree, it proves that he doesn't like or care about my Xiaolan at all! Tell him to get out of here!"

……

On this day, Li Yunhai got help from Lin Zhi. One person disassembled the parts and the other repaired them. The two cooperated sincerely and worked from morning to night to complete the renovation of six copiers.

At 08:30 in the evening, Li Yunhai sent Lin Zhi home.

Occasionally, a car passed by, and the headlights stretched their silhouettes.

On the flat and wide May Day Avenue, their laughter and laughter were left behind, as well as Lin Zhi’s beautiful singing:
"A small purse with double silk and double straps floating around,

The girl's embroidered purse hangs on the man's waist.

Xiao is Xiao Qingge,
Wait, wait, wait,

If you don’t wait for your lover, which one should you wait for? "

Li Yunhai's restless heart was soothed and calmed by her cheerful and pretty singing voice.

When singing the last line, Lin Zhi glanced at Li Yunhai with her pretty eyes and sang:
"Embroider the purse for me, brother,

Is there a reason for my sister to embroider her purse?

Brother, take your purse and walk down the street.
If my sister wants to come, please ask me. "

Her big eyes are smiling, charming and seductive, the water covers the fog and the ground is rippling, the corners of her small mouth are slightly raised, and the red lips are slightly parted, wanting to attract a kiss.

This is a woman who exudes a seductive aura from the bottom of her heart. As long as she is willing, she seems to be able to seduce men and affect his nerves all the time.

The light of street lamps and stars also dimmed in front of her.

"Hey, Li Yunhai, why don't you sing a Meishan love song to me!" Seeing that he didn't respond to her, Lin Zhi took the initiative and made a request.

"Love song?" Li Yunhai held the tricycle faucet with one hand and scratched his head with the other, and said, "I really don't know what love songs there are in Meishan." Lin Zhi refused and insisted on singing a few lines: "You sang it at my house last time. That folk song is very nice. Folk songs in every place must have love songs, because love is the eternal theme of mankind."

Li Yunhai thought for a while, cleared his throat, and sang:

"If you want me to sing, then sing,

If you want me to drive the boat, go down to the river.

Bamboo branches hit the water and fly thinly,
There is no need to pound the laundry by the river.

Fine stone sharpening does not require water;
We don't need a matchmaker to get married.

Thunder strikes the fire and burns the red furnace for refinement,
The water changes and the mountains change, the heart remains unchanged. "

The song is as clear as the moon, as firm as iron, as bright as spring flowers, and as sincere as the love.

Lin Zhi got drunk and started humming along.

"The folk songs in Meishan are so nice!" Lin Zhi smiled sweetly, "Li Yunhai, I want to go to Meishan. I want to collect your folk songs and compile them into a book, so that this traditional culture will last forever."

When he arrived at the gate of the community, Li Yunhai stopped the car and said, "Ms. Lin, go in!"

Lin Zhi stood up on the bicycle, called him, walked up to him, held the tricycle, looked into his eyes, and sang softly: "A fine stone does not need water to sharpen a knife, and we do not need a matchmaker to get married. This Meishan love song, It sounds better than embroidering purses!”

Li Yunhai's heart was throbbing inexplicably, and he didn't even dare to look directly into Lin Zhi's loving eyes.

After singing, Lin Zhi chuckled, pushed the bicycle, and walked a few steps forward. Suddenly she turned around and saw that Li Yunhai was still looking at her. She waved to him and said with a toothy smile: "Li Yunhai, good night. !”

Li Yunhai smiled brightly and said: "Good night, Lin Zhi!"

He watched Lin Zhi enter the gate, and then rode his tricycle back to the store.

When he arrived at the door of the store, Li Yunhai saw a bicycle standing at the door. Sitting on the bicycle was a pretty figure, Shen Xiulan.

"Xiulan!" Li Yunhai parked the tricycle, took out the key and opened the door, and asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him: "Really? Don't you want me to come? Interrupt you and Lin Zhi's good things?"

"Look what you said! Miss Lin helped me get two big orders. There was a time limit. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete the task, so she took leave to help me."

"Hmph! I can see it! Li Yunhai, you have changed your mind! Now that you have Lin Zhi, you no longer like me!"

"I never said that! Nor did I think that! I saw you with other male colleagues, and I never doubted your steadfastness in love."

"Okay, if that's the case, then you agree to a condition, okay?"

"What conditions?"

"After we get married, you come to live in my house."

"Staying at your house?" Li Yunhai entered the store, took out a computer, put it on a tricycle, and asked with a smile, "Do you have a bed for me to sleep on?"

"I will divide the house by then! My mother knows that you resigned and went to work in the sea. She has no objection to us being together, but she made a request, asking you to be my home-in-law son-in-law." Shen Xiulan also knows this word Unable to speak, his voice became deeper and deeper.

Li Yunhai raised his head suddenly, thinking that he heard wrongly, and asked: "Am I your son-in-law? Are you kidding me?"

Shen Xiulan was afraid that he would be angry, so she held his arm and said coquettishly: "Isn't it just a name? We live together anyway, it doesn't matter whether I marry you or you come to my house, it's not all the same Of?"

Li Yunhai took her hand away and said calmly: "Shen Xiulan, you are an intellectual, don't you understand the principle of male marriage and female marriage? I am a handsome man with a technical secondary school degree and a craftsmanship. Can't find a wife? Do I want to be your son-in-law? Does your family have a gold mine that you are begging me to inherit? Or do you have a family business waiting for me to take care of it? Huh!"
