Chapter 81: The Engagement

Lin Yue looked at her mother, although she was over fifty years old, she was still beautiful, the years had left traces on her face, but it also made her more charming, thinking of her mother who had been alone for so many years, Lin Yue's heart was sour, and she put her arm around Lin Xiaowan's shoulder and said, "Mom, you haven't thought about finding someone to accompany you again?"

Lin Xiaowan smiled and shook her head, "You're all old, who else are you looking for?" As long as you are good and live happily, Mom's life will be considered complete." ”

Lin Yue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, her mother was also a poor woman, she gave birth to a child for a man, and endured the gossip of others to pull her up, Lin Yue hugged her mother tightly, and the mother and daughter sat quietly on the sofa, enjoying the rare warmth.

At night, Lin Yue sat in her room, looking at everything she was familiar with, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, after Shen Yan died, she was sick for a long time, she was almost unconscious during that time, and when she finally got better, she quietly left, counting that she hadn't lived in this house for two years.

Although she hadn't come back for a long time, the house was still spotless, and she knew that her mother must still be the same as before, cleaning every day, and there were still the books she used to read on the shelves, everything was so familiar, which made her feel at ease.

This night, Lin Yue slept very soundly, in the bed that she had slept in for more than 20 years, it was rare that she did not have insomnia, and it was already past eight o'clock when she woke up.

After going out, she saw her mother's busy figure, she leaned against the kitchen door and said with a smile, "Mom, what delicious food did you make?"

Lin Xiaowan glanced back at her and said with a smile: "I made your favorite hand-rolled noodles, and the marinade is your favorite fragrant dried shredded pork." ”

"Well, it's so fragrant, I want to eat a big bowl!" Lin Yue took a deep breath, and then ran to the bathroom to wash, after she was washed and the noodles were ready, she sat at the dining table and took a breath of fragrance, and then buried her head in eating.

When she was a child, her favorite food was her mother's hand-rolled noodles, but at that time she was very busy and only had time to make them for herself on weekends, and she hadn't eaten them for a long time.

After the noodles were eaten, it was not too early, Lin Yue went back to the room to change her clothes, and Chen Jinyan's phone called, "I'm here in your alley, you come and pick me up." ”

Lin Yue put down the phone and hurried out, "Xiaoyue, are you leaving?"

When Lin Xiaowan saw her go out, she asked, Lin Yue waved her hand, "No, Jinyan is here, I'll pick him up, he doesn't know." ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled and shook her head, Lin Yue came to the mouth of the alley briskly, saw Chen Jinyan standing in front of the car, waved at him and walked over.

"Let's go, I'll take you in. ”

Chen Jinyan grabbed her, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something." After speaking, he walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk, and took out several boxes of things, Lin Yue saw that they were all cordyceps, ejiao and other precious supplements, she was stunned for a moment and said: "You don't need to buy these things, my mother doesn't eat them." ”

"This is what my mother prepared, and my aunt is also old, why don't you eat it? Chen Jinyan held the gift in one hand and Lin Yue in the other, and the two entered the alley together.

Lin Yue's heart was warm, seeing that he was good to his mother, of course she was happy, and after a while, the two of them arrived at Lin Yue's house, Chen Jinyan looked at the courtyard in front of him, turned his head and said with a smile: "Your family is now a multimillionaire, and this courtyard is now tens of millions." ”

Lin Yue couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "This is the house left by my grandfather, my mother originally wanted to sell it, but she was reluctant, she didn't expect it to be so expensive now, but it makes no difference to us, and I won't sell it again." With that, she pulled Chen Jinyan into the courtyard.

When Lin Xiaowan saw Chen Jinyan coming, she immediately greeted him, and when she saw that he was holding something in her hand, she said disapprovingly: "What are you bringing these things for?" I don't even eat them, it's too wasteful, let's take them back to your mother to eat." ”

"Auntie, this is what my mother prepared for you, saying that it is good for a woman of your age, and she specially instructed you to accept it. Chen Jinyan replied with a smile, and Lin Xiaowan didn't say much when she heard it, and she had a better impression of Hu Lanxin's in-laws.

"Excuse me, I made hand-rolled noodles, have you had breakfast?"

Chen Jinyan had eaten it, but he still didn't want to disappoint his future mother-in-law, and finally nodded with her earnest eyes, "I ate some in the morning, let's try Auntie's craftsmanship again, it must be good." ”

In the end, he still ate a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with shredded fragrant dried pork, although it was very supportive, but it was really delicious, he couldn't stop nodding and praising after eating, "Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good, Xiaoyue originally inherited yours, and the dumplings she made were also very delicious." ”

Lin Xiaowan glanced at Lin Yue when she heard this, and felt a little sad, Lin Yue rarely cooked at home in the past, although she could do it, she had always taken care of herself, and she must have suffered a lot in the year she went out.

Lin Yue knew what she was thinking when she saw her mother's expression, so she put her arm around her shoulder and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm fine now, of course I have to learn to be independent at such an age, we're leaving, we'll come back to see you when we have time." ”

Lin Xiaowan insisted on sending the two outside, and watched their car leave before walking back, feeling a sense of loss in her heart, and couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Yue also kept looking at her mother in the car, and she felt a little sad, she looked at Chen Jinyan and said, "Jinyan, I will resign when I finish this project, I want to come back." ”

"Well, come back, I'll come back then, we'll be in Beijing." Chen Jinyan held her hand and said.

Lin Yue was very happy that he could support her, she leaned her head on Chen Jinyan's shoulder, she always felt that the two days had passed too quickly, everything was so incredible.

It was already afternoon when they returned to City A, and Xu Jianing had already driven the car to pick them up, and the two went directly to Lin Yue, because it was more convenient in the city center.

The next day, everything finally returned to normal, Lin Yue went to work as usual, but from time to time she would receive a call from her future mother-in-law, asking her about some details of the wedding and whether she liked it.

Although Hu Lanxin is in her fifties, she is very studious, knowing that young people like to use WeChat nowadays, she also learned, and also added Lin Yue, which is much more convenient after that, and sends a few pictures to Lin Yue from time to time and asks her which one she likes.

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have nothing to do with WeChat chat, and the relationship is much closer, Lin Yue has a good temper, and is very patient, and she also video chats with her from time to time, which makes Hu Lanxin very useful, and since then, she rarely looks for Chen Jinyan again, and even says that she has a daughter-in-law much better than before, and she is no longer afraid of boredom.

Chen Jinyan was very dissatisfied with this, his mother actually dismantled his backstage like this, but he was also very happy in his heart, they had a good relationship, of course he was happy, and he didn't have to worry about the future.

Qixi is going to get engaged, and the two of them have to take time to go back to Beijing in their busy schedules to try on wedding dresses and jewelry, because Lin Yue doesn't want to be too high-profile, so the Chen family's engagement is not going to be big, just invite some close friends, and it won't be too complicated.

The engagement ceremony was like an ordinary banquet, the two newlyweds put on new dresses to accept everyone's blessings, and the banquet was held in the Chen family's old mansion, which was both luxurious and secretive, but it also made Lin Yue tired for a day.

After the banquet, Lin Yue stayed in the old mansion to live, Chen Jinyan's room was newly decorated, as a new house for their marriage, many of the decorations in the house were selected after Hu Lanxin asked her, and they were all according to her preferences.

Lin Yue changed out of her dress and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she lay on the bed in her pajamas, her heart was pounding, she knew that something might happen tonight, she was both scared and looking forward to it.

Chen Jinyan came back after a while, and after taking a shower, he walked to the bedside, and when he took a closer look, he found that Lin Yue had fallen asleep, and he couldn't help laughing, it seemed that his cave room had been soaked in the night again.

Lin Yue was tired all day and slept very deeply, Chen Jinyan hugged her tightly after lying down, and soon fell asleep, and the two slept together until dawn.

Lin Yue woke up first, she knew that it was not early, and she didn't dare to sleep again, after all, this was the Chen family's old mansion, and his parents were there, so she got up quietly, got dressed, and went downstairs.

At this time, it was only 6 o'clock, it was quiet downstairs, only the maid was busy in the kitchen, Lin Yue wanted to make breakfast, so she also walked over.

The maid sister-in-law Chen has been working in the Chen family for decades, and when she saw Lin Yue coming over, she immediately smiled and said, "Young grandma got up so early? What do you want to eat? Sister-in-law Chen will make it for you." She grew up watching Chen Jinyan and had a lot of feelings for him, and now that he has a wife, she is naturally happy.

Lin Yue shook her head, "Sister-in-law Chen, I want to make breakfast, but I'm not very good at cooking, and I want you to help me." ”

When Sister-in-law Chen heard this, she was even more satisfied with this young grandmother, and said yes again, the two were busy in the kitchen together, and when Hu Lanxin and Chen Qijun got up, they saw a hearty breakfast on the table.

"Xiaoyue, why did you get up early in the morning to make breakfast? I was tired yesterday, I should have a good rest today, just let Sister-in-law Chen make breakfast." Hu Lanxin looked at Lin Yue before and after running, and said distressedly.

Sister-in-law Chen came over with a pot of porridge and said with a smile: "Madam, you are really blessed, the young lady got up early in the morning and told me to make breakfast, she made these things this morning, I just guided and started." ”

When Hu Lanxin heard this, she was happy and distressed, looking at the breakfast on the table, she was really infinitely relieved, she had been worried about her son, and now it was finally a matter of her heart, and her daughter-in-law was so obedient and sensible, she could finally enjoy her old age in peace.

"Mom and Dad, you eat first, I'll go and tell Jinyan to come down. Lin Yue unbuttoned her apron and went upstairs, Chen Jinyan had already gotten up, she said with a smile: "Hurry up and pack up and go downstairs for breakfast." ”

"Why are you so early today, don't sleep lazy?" Chen Jinyan asked, putting on a casual suit, looking at her.

"I made you breakfast today. ”

Chen Jinyan's eyes lit up, and he pinched her face with a smile, "So virtuous? My parents must be happy to death, let's go, I'll go down and try your craftsmanship." ”
