Chapter 256 Going to see my father-in-law, first I need to find my brother-in-law.
"It's never-ending."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"I'll go see them tomorrow."
"Well, it's not their fault. It's because I have high requirements for the roof waterproofing. I added drainage pipes, did several layers of waterproofing, and spent a lot of time laying the floor and lawn."
Fu Huaiyi was surprised, "The roof is covered with a lawn?"
"Yes, if we do it this way, even though we're on the top floor, we can stay warm in winter and cool in summer. If we don't, we'll be unbearably hot in summer and freezing in winter, and it might even leak. What if it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside?"
The house she lives in now leaks when it rains, or more accurately, it gets wet when it rains, but it's not a big problem.
If we stay here for another two years, it will probably start to drizzle.
Therefore, Lin Yuyao looked up and gestured for him to look at the ceiling as well.
That patch of yellowish grime is the rainwater that seeped in.
After reading it, Fu Huaiyi sighed and said, "The problem of the roof being exposed to the sun and leaking is indeed difficult to solve."
"Right, so I asked them to spend more time and do a better job of waterproofing."
"Okay, hopefully the renovations will be finished before we get married."
He has to go check on it tomorrow to see how the house is decorated.
We still need to urge him; we can't delay his wedding.
As the saying goes, "every profession has its own secrets," and after getting to know them, he realized that every delay had a reason, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Because all the requirements were written down on paper by Lin Yuyao.
In the end, all I could say was, "Try to hurry."
Then everyone gave them a pack of cigarettes as a thank you.
There's no use in him being anxious about the house; he doesn't know how.
You'd be better off thinking about how to win over your mother-in-law.
He remembered that his first encounter with his father-in-law's family was not pleasant, and he didn't know if they still remembered him.
After much thought, he took some time to return to his alma mater and find Lin Ping.
Lin Ping was overjoyed when she brought a big bag of snacks and fruit.
"Senior Fu, you're too kind. I'm already very happy that you came to see me, how could I accept your things? Take them back and eat them yourself."
She told him to take it back, but she was holding onto the bag tightly in her hand.
Fu Huaiyi didn't argue with him, and simply said, "Your sister has agreed to marry me."
Lin Ping's smile froze.
"I've already taken leave, and I'll go to your house to propose next month."
"Huh?" Lin Ping's hand trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be so fast?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." Why did he also say fast?
Which way is faster?!
"Ahem." Fu Huaiyi suddenly became serious, as if he were training his instructor.
"I'll be busy in the second half of the year, and I don't know when it will end, so I need to try to get married to your sister in the first half of the year."
Time is of the essence, and we can't afford any unforeseen circumstances. That's why I made this special trip to find you. I'm sure you don't want your sister to be delayed either, so for her sake, you should offer me some assistance.
Lin Ping's lips twitched. This didn't look like he was asking for a favor; it looked more like he was being given an order.
"How do you want me to help you? You're making such a fuss, I won't even get to attend your wedding."
"We can drink. We'll hold a banquet back home, and we'll also host a few tables here."
"Oh, that's more like it."
"Then tell me, what should I do when I visit your home for the first time?"
"How would I know? I've never been married."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"I should bring something with me on my first visit, what do you think I should bring?"
"How would I know? I've never even been to the girl's house. I'm telling you, Senior Fu, you've come to the wrong person. I've never even held a girl's hand, let alone gone to her house to propose."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." This brat, why is he so dense?
"Then tell me, what do our parents like?"
Lin Ping gave a mocking smile, "You haven't even gone to propose yet. Have my parents agreed? Just our parents. My parents are my parents, they have nothing to do with you."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like his brother-in-law had a problem with him and looked at him with displeasure.
"I asked you that before. I remember you supported me pursuing your sister, right?"
Lin Ping: "..." That's true, but when he actually caught up with him, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
She hopes they can get together, but she also dislikes the man who might steal her sister away.
It's really strange to have two emotions intertwined.
"Yes, I didn't say I disagreed."
"Then why do you look at me like I can't stand to see you doing well?"
Lin Ping: "Really?"
"Have."
Lin Ping: "..."
"Oh, definitely not. I just feel like this is too fast. You've only known each other for a short time. Do you really understand each other? Could it be just a passing fancy? What if you come to your senses in a few days and change your mind?"
This kind of thing doesn't affect men much, but it can have a huge impact on women, especially since my sister has already broken off an engagement once. If this one falls through too, have you considered how bad it would be for her? I'm not just taking my sister's side; I'm just being realistic, right?
Fu Huaiyi: "We bought a house together."
Lin Ping: "Huh?"
After saying that, he took out a photo, which was a photo of their marital home property certificate.
Is this enough sincerity?
Lin Ping stared at the photo for a long time without saying a word.
It's over 100 square meters, so he knows roughly what the price of the house is.
In the city, houses over sixty are considered large, so a house over one hundred is unimaginably luxurious.
Then it was written with the older sister's name.
"You paid for it?"
“I don’t have that much money, it’s over 30,000, your sister contributed more than 10,000.”
That's quite a lot.
He also contributed over 20,000.
More than 20,000 was an astronomical figure for Lin Ping.
Is this enough sincerity?
Lin Ping nodded hurriedly.
"Do you think I'm serious?"
Lin Ping nodded hurriedly again.
"What do you think our parents like? What should I bring as a gift since this is my first visit?"
"Just put this photo in front of them, that's enough."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"I don't plan to talk about this. I need to propose marriage with sincerity."
Lin Ping: "That's sincerity."
"Alright, stop joking. Give me some advice, and think carefully about how I should go to their door."
Well, considering how sincere he is, he probably isn't joking.
Since he's serious, then he'll think about it seriously.
What did my older brother bring when he first visited my sister-in-law's house?
He remembered that his mother had helped prepare it.
correct.
"Bring two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor. If you can afford it, add a pork knuckle as well."
Fu Huaiyi asked in confusion, "Pork knuckle?"
"Correct."
"Why bring pork knuckle? Is there any special significance to it?"
"I don't know either, it's probably a local custom."
It's... well.
"Okay, I got it. So what kind of cigarettes does Dad like to smoke, and what kind of alcohol does he like to drink?"
"Don't worry about what he likes, just buy the best-selling cigarettes and alcohol in the south of the city. If he hasn't seen them before, just buy something that can impress him."
