Chapter 258: He told the whole family he was getting married next month.
Chapter 258: He told the whole family he was getting married next month.
That makes sense, but the two of them were anxious after hearing it.
After that, Lin Ping added, "Your brother-in-law wasn't planning to tell you about the house. I'm telling you secretly, so just listen and don't let it slip."
"Huh? Such a big thing and you didn't tell us?"
"Yes, I've told you everything I needed to say. I think this marriage is a done deal, so don't make things too difficult for them."
Two people: "..."
Something's off about this guy. Either that person is genuinely nice, or he's been bribed.
……
Lin Yuyao didn't know that Fu Huaiyi had gone to see Lin Ping; she only knew that he hadn't come back last night.
I saw him arrive at the bookstore early today.
Even though they're not married yet, she already feels uneasy because he doesn't come home at night.
She felt uneasy because he didn't say a word.
But if she asked directly, she felt awkward about it, since they weren't married yet.
Were you busy yesterday?
She asked a question indirectly.
"It's okay. I had some things to do back at school yesterday, and it was quite late when I got back. I thought you might be asleep, so I didn't bother you."
Oh, so you went back to school because of something.
"Did you see Lin Ping?"
"I saw him, and while I was at it... I went to visit him."
Lin Yuyao then asked, "How is Lin Ping? That kid didn't even call me, and I haven't been to see him either."
Due to the special nature of schools and their need for security and confidentiality, parent visits are very difficult.
You have to apply in advance, wait for approval, and go through a bunch of procedures before you can meet at the designated time and place. It's as difficult as visiting someone in prison.
So she didn't go to see him.
But it wasn't so troublesome for Fu Huaiyi to visit him; he could always find an opportunity to go back to school and take a look.
"He's doing great. He trains every day and is much stronger than when he first arrived. After the Dragon Boat Festival, he'll be able to come out for a day. We'll invite him over then and have dinner at our new house."
"How could it be so fast? The house has only just had its plumbing and electricity installed."
"Yes, they have a lot of people, they'll finish loading it quickly."
"You can't live there either."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Why can't we move in even though it's all furnished?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
It seems that the concept of decoration pollution is not yet available. It was only in the 1990s that a wave of illness broke out in a newly renovated office building. It was later found that it was caused by decoration pollution, and people realized the harm that poor decoration materials can cause to the human body.
The main thing is that at this time, the so-called renovation of the house was just doing some plumbing and electrical work and laying a cement floor.
If you have the means, break a few beer bottles and make a pattern; if you're even better, just lay down some patterned floor tiles.
As for the walls?
Generally, it's just a plain white wall, the kind of plaster that peels off, without any latex paint.
There are a few pieces of furniture: a wardrobe, a bed, and a desk.
Only those with better living conditions use paint, and most are made of solid wood, so there aren't many that actually cause pollution from renovations.
Lin Yuyao carefully explained to him the potential pollution that might exist after their home was renovated.
Yes, but definitely not many. You can move in after a short while.
After hearing her explanation, Fu Huaiyi nodded resignedly.
"Alright, you'll listen."
He would really regret it if they couldn't consummate their marriage in the bridal chamber.
After settling things off with his brother-in-law, Fu Huaiyi then turned his attention to his own family.
That weekend, he went back to his uncle's house and told them about his plans to get married.
The eldest uncle already knew, but this was the first time his aunt, Zhang Fangfang, had heard about it.
"You mean you're getting married next month?"
"Yes."
"How come it's so fast?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." Why does everyone say fast?
"Ayi, marriage is not something to be taken lightly; we need to think it through carefully. It's already the end of the month, and you're saying you're getting married next month? That's too fast."
Not only fast, but too fast?
Fu Huaiyi said, "No, I've been planning this for a long time."
Zhang Fangfang: "..."
"You made this plan on your own without consulting us. This is so sudden."
Is it either fast or sudden?
Fu Huaiyi took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to discuss this with you."
"Oh my god, next month? There's no way we'll have time, we haven't prepared anything."
"You don't need to prepare anything. I'll call home in a bit and tell them I'm going to Yao Yao's house to propose marriage. As for the banquet and such, just have them book the hotel ten days or so in advance."
Zhang Fangfang: "..." So you've figured everything out, and you're just going to arrange things for us, huh?
"Alright, go ahead and call, and see what your parents say."
Fu Huaiyi nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed his home number.
The call connected quickly; it was his grandfather's voice.
"Hey kid, why did you finally decide to call me?"
"Grandpa, are my parents home?"
Old man: “…”
"Hmph, I thought you were looking for me, turns out you're looking for your parents."
"I'll also look for you. It'll be easier to talk if all three of you are here."
“Your dad isn’t here, but your mom is. She’s coming over. Just tell her what you need.”
"Okay, I'm getting married."
Pfft!
The old man spat out his tea.
"What? You're getting married?"
"Correct."
"with who?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's my girlfriend."
Who is your girlfriend?
Fu Huaiyi rubbed his forehead. "Grandpa, are you getting Alzheimer's? You've met my girlfriend before, haven't you? I introduced her to you during the New Year."
what?
"Is it that girl or that boy?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Grandpa, didn't I tell you not to listen to Mingmei's nonsense? I'm perfectly normal. Of course, I'll marry a girl."
The old man remained silent for a long while before finally speaking slowly, "Are you serious, kid?"
"Of course, I've always been serious."
He thought to himself, "This marriage can't be an act. Could it be that he really made a mistake?"
"When are you getting married?" Let him ask again.
"I've taken my wedding leave next month to go to the woman's family to propose. Once her parents agree, we'll get married."
Old man: “…”
Hmph, you brat, trying to fool this old man again.
Such a big event as a wedding shouldn't be treated so casually.
It's already the end of the month, and the wedding is next month, so it's only a few days away.
And the woman's family hasn't agreed yet, so how can he be so sure that they can get married?
It's a complete joke.
"I'm asking you, have you submitted the marriage certificate yet?"
"No, I'll write the report after her parents agree."
The old man sneered, "If you can get married, I'll be your grandson."
After saying that, he tossed the phone to his daughter-in-law.
Let's just say we're fooling him.
Actors are easy to hire, but the military's political vetting process is no joke; no amount of money can persuade them to cooperate in acting.
He hasn't even submitted a report yet, and he's already talking about getting married?
He looks dizzy.
Luo Feng finally got the phone and asked with concern, "Are you really getting married next month?"
