Chapter 261 He made his own trailer to carry the gifts to propose marriage.
Lin Yuyao felt a headache just looking at that pile of stuff.
Why are you asking him? Why don't you ask me?
"I'm asking you? Didn't you say that bringing two bags of fruit candies would be enough?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
She really didn't think much of it and just said it casually. It was mainly because Lu Jiangting used to come to their house and just buy two bags of fruit candy.
"Although I don't know much about this, I know that bringing two bags of fruit candy is definitely not enough. Who would be so stingy? What if they get the impression that I'm stingy? Will we still be able to get married then?"
It's... well.
"Since we've already bought it, let's leave it at that."
Lin Yuyao looked at the pile of things and sighed again, "With just the two of us and four hands, how are we supposed to carry all of this?"
"Don't worry about that, I've already taken care of it."
After saying that, he took a trailer out from the inner room.
Isn't this the grocery shopping gadget of later generations?
It's a bit bigger than a regular grocery shopping gadget, and it looks sturdier too.
Fu Huaiyi patted the trailer and said, "Look, what do you think?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Sure, where did you get this?"
"I do it by myself."
"You did it?"
"Yes, I bought these two wheels and the steel bars from the recycling center. They cost me five yuan in total. The wheels were taken from an old children's bicycle, and the steel bars were recycled items that were welded together to make a trailer. I'll pack these things into a box, tie them to the trailer, and then I'll take it."
That's really easy.
He actually went to the junkyard to scavenge for old goods; it seems he really has started saving money.
Otherwise, given his previous spending habits, he would most likely have bought a large suitcase.
With everything prepared, Lin Yuyao called home the next day.
Heaven knows how Ye Lian and the others have managed these past few days.
After receiving a call from their youngest son a few days ago, they haven't had a single day of peace, waiting every single day.
When she had nothing to do, she would run to the brigade leader's house. Ye Lian and the brigade leader's wife would eat sunflower seeds together for several rounds, but she never answered Lin Yuyao's call.
We've finally waited for this moment.
"Yuyao, what's up?"
She knew perfectly well, but she had to pretend she didn't.
I promised my son.
"Mother, I'll be back in a few days."
"Huh? When?"
"April 9th is the fourth day of next month."
Their generation isn't used to using the Gregorian calendar yet; they only understand the concept when the lunar calendar is added when reporting dates.
"Oh, it's only been a few days. Yuyao, why did you suddenly decide to come back? Was work difficult over there?"
"No." This made her a little embarrassed to say it.
My partner said they wanted to come and visit you.
"Huh? Son-in-law... no, why does your partner suddenly want to come see us?"
"We're planning to get married."
Ye Lian thought for a moment and said, "That's good too. I heard he's a year older than Lu Jiangting, so he's not young anymore. It's good to get married early."
"He came to see you to discuss marriage. If everything is fine, we'll get married next month."
Ye Lian: "..."
"Next month? Why the rush?" Ye Lian's alarm bells rang loudly. "You brat, are you pregnant?"
what?
Only her mother would say that; if it were anyone else, she would have given them a severe dressing down.
"No, I had my period yesterday, we're completely innocent. The reason he's in such a hurry is because he'll be quite busy in the second half of the year, and he might not have time next year either. With this delay, we don't know when he'll be available again."
Ye Lian patted her chest. "You scared me to death. Let's not rush into marriage. Let's meet the people first."
She knew her parents would think that way. Fu Huaiyi was eager to get married, so let's see how he convinces them.
Fu Huaiyi also received a call from his parents today.
He gave his mother a good scolding for deliberately placing the phone askew yesterday, which made it impossible for her to call him and she was extremely anxious.
Only after he finished hurling insults did he begin to get down to business.
"Since you've made up your mind, your father and I have nothing to say. Go propose on your own, but do you know what you should bring?"
"I know."
"Then tell me, what are you planning to bring?"
Fu Huaiyi told them about all the things he had bought. Apart from the fact that buying a piece of floral fabric and asking them to make their own clothes seemed a bit unreliable, everything else was fine.
"Then remember to buy cigarettes and alcohol in even numbers, don't be silly and buy odd numbers."
“I know, I bought an even number.”
"Alright, none of the things you brought are decent. I'll talk to your aunt later and ask her to prepare two boxes of wild ginseng."
"Row."
"Then remember, when you get there, be humble. They hold their heads high when marrying off their daughters, we have to bow our heads when we take a wife..."
She patiently listed a bunch of precautions and repeatedly reminded him until Fu Huaiyi was about to start his afternoon shift, at which point she had to remind him.
"I have to go to work."
"So fast?"
"It's almost two o'clock, and you still say it's fast?"
"Sigh! Fine, you've remembered everything I told you, right?"
"I remember. Did you remember what I told you?"
"I remember, I need to prepare a wedding dress and hire a photographer. Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is taken care of."
With five minutes left, Fu Huaiyi finally hung up the phone.
Old Wang said cheerfully, "No rush, talk to your mother a little longer. Such an important matter needs to be discussed slowly."
"We've talked enough."
"Okay, Fu, congratulations! When can we attend your wedding?"
Fu Huaiyi said, "I will definitely let you know as soon as the time is set."
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
Old Wang thought he would be arranged to marry into the Ming family; he really didn't expect that.
But thinking about it, it's actually a good thing that he married a girl outside the entertainment industry.
Back then, so many people envied Chief Fu's position. His eldest son was injured and retired to go into business, and then his eldest grandson had an accident.
Fu Huaiyi's current technical position is reassuring.
A new emperor brings a new court. It's clear that the Fu family, by his generation, doesn't want to follow that path, so there's no need for them to form a powerful alliance that would invite suspicion.
……
After Fu Huaiyi got off work, Lu Jiangting cornered him under a sycamore tree.
"You've taken honeymoon leave?"
"Well, what?"
Lu Jiangting's eyes were red. "You're going to marry Yuyao?"
Fu Huaiyi smiled smugly and said, "Yes, you and Fang Qing will be attending the wedding banquet later."
Looking at his expression, Lu Jiangting felt like he was grinding his teeth to powder.
"She agreed?"
"That's obvious. We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If she doesn't agree, would I really do something like a marriage of convenience? I can't bear the shame of that."
He deliberately emphasized the words "marriage fraud," as if slapping Lu Jiangting across the face.
Lu Jiangting immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, losing all his energy and becoming utterly dejected.
He had clearly let go of everything, and even told Fu Huaiyi to treat Yu Yao well.
But why would he be so upset knowing they were getting married?
