Chapter 439: Go and Propose
Due to the late start of the live broadcast last night, Li Yan slept until he woke up naturally the next day, and the time was nearly half past nine.
Thinking that he hadn't taken a bath for two days, Li Yan packed up his underwear and walked into the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror and taking off his shirt.
Seeing himself in the mirror, Li Yan vaguely felt that the muscle lines on his body seemed to be more obvious, the original six-pack abdominal muscles have now become eight, which looks like a special beauty.
Looking at it again, I feel that I am a little taller than before, and I don't know if it is an illusion.
Rubbing his eyes, Li Yan returned to the room, took out a meter ruler from the drawer and measured it, and his net height was exactly 1.77 meters.
In his junior year, the school measured his height and weight, and Li Yan remembered very well that he was only 1.75 meters, and he didn't know when he had increased his height by two centimeters.
Generally speaking, there is little change in height as an adult, and in fact, Li Yan was 1.75 meters when he was in the third year of junior high school, and he has not grown taller until college since.
"Could it be last night's spicy Arowana shredded ......"
Thinking of this possibility, Li Yan's eyes lit up, he only ate about a third of it last night, and in the end he was so spicy that he couldn't hold it, and he put the rest in the refrigerator downstairs.
After taking a shower casually, Li Yan hurriedly rushed downstairs and took out the unfinished spicy Arowana shreds.
If you really get taller and stronger because you eat this thing, then you can eat more, and you can't waste Meng Po's kindness.
He was originally 1.75 meters tall, not too tall or short among men, and was at the middle level, but Li Yan has always been envious of those long legs of 1.8 meters.
Relatively speaking, Yin Xiaoya, who is 1.7 meters tall, is very tall among girls, and if she wears high heels and stands with her, Li Yan will be under a lot of pressure.
It's a pity that once the height is finalized, it basically can't be changed, and it's difficult to do it with money, Li Yan has long accepted his height, but he didn't expect that there would be a turnaround now.
Put the spicy Arowana shredded into the pot and heat it for a while, Li Yan couldn't wait to take it out, and was just about to start eating, when a head next to him came over.
"What is this, it seems to be very spicy. Yin Xiaoya's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her little nose moved.
"A very delicious shredded fish, try one. Li Yan took one and put it in Yin Xiaoya's mouth.
Seeing that her facial features were wrinkled together by the spicy, Li Yan laughed and said, "How about it, it's delicious, do you want another one?"
"No...... No need!" Yin Xiaoya shook her head again and again, her head shook like a rattle, and she drank most of the cup in one go.
Li Yan is more afraid of spicy food than Yin Xiaoya, but for the dream of one meter and eight long legs, he has to swallow tears.
After struggling to ease up, Yin Xiaoya stared at Li Yan with a strange face: "Why didn't I find that you had such a strong taste before, you would eat this kind of thing together in the morning, and my aunt cooked gruel and kept warm in the pot." ”
Li Yan let out a breath of fire, stuck out his tongue and said vaguely: "Why didn't you say it earlier, spicy dragon fish shredded with porridge is just right!"
Watching Li Yan gobble up the gruel and take a big gulp to eliminate the gruel, Yin Xiaoya pondered for a moment, her face was slightly embarrassed and said: "Li Yan, I know you don't like the people of the Yin family very much, but let's get engaged, it's not good not to go to Nanling after all." ”
Stopping the action at hand, Li Yan was stunned, he really didn't know much about the process of getting married and engaged.
After searching on the Internet, Li Yan remembered issues such as gift money, and only remembered the engagement in his mind, and left these procedures behind, if he didn't go to Nanling in advance, it was indeed easy to be gossiped.
"In this way, when my dad gets off work, let's discuss it, find a time to go to your house together, and give the dowry and bride price. Li Yan said.
Yin Xiaoya smiled, she was worried at first that Li Yan would be disgusted with these mundane habits and would not go to the Yin family, and the Yin family left a really bad impression on Li Yan.
At lunchtime, Li Yan took the initiative to mention the engagement process to his parents, and Zhang Cuilan looked stunned and said: "I haven't heard you mention this matter these days, I thought that you two had already discussed everything, and now there are not many days left until the end of the month, so I have to find a time to go to Nanling as soon as possible." ”
Li Shang, who rarely speaks during meals, also spoke: "This matter is not too late or sooner, I think tomorrow will be a good day, and it is not very far from here to Nanling, take the train in the morning, and you can arrive at noon." ”
Li Yan was a little speechless, my father is really in a hurry, and the time is relatively tight, but there is no need to rush like this.
The head of the family has spoken, and the others naturally have no opinions, anyway, Li Yan is free every day now.
Li Shang and his wife did not mention the dowry very tacitly, for a family like theirs, if it was changed to before, they would definitely have to worry about it for a long time, but now it is different, it doesn't matter if the gift money is more or less.
The Yin family is a well-known family in Nanling, so it is naturally impossible to deliberately embarrass Li Yan in the gift money, even if the Li family doesn't pay a penny, they can't wait for the two to get married as soon as possible.
The next morning, the first thing Li Yan did when he got up was to measure his height, but what made him depressed was that this time he only increased his height by less than one centimeter, and the height increase effect of spicy arowana shreds was greatly reduced.
To go to their daughter-in-law's house, Li Shang and his wife got up early to freshen up, and when Li Yan went downstairs, they were all dressed neatly.
"Son, after going to Yin's house, you must not sleep lazily like this, otherwise you will make Xiaoya's relatives laugh. Zhang Cuilan reminded in a low voice.
Yin Xiaoya on the side covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Auntie, don't worry, even if Li Yan sleeps in my house until the sun basks his buttocks, no one will say a word." ”
Li Shang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Didn't you hear that those big families have strict tutors?"
"It depends on who is right, my dad and they can't wait to offer Li Yan as an ancestor!" Yin Xiaoya pouted.
Zhang Cuilan and the others were confused, they didn't know how much money the Yin family had made by relying on Li Yan, and now the Yin family welcomed Li Yan, the god of wealth.
This time when they went to Nanling, Li Yan and his party didn't plan to stay long, they all traveled lightly, and only brought a few luggage.
It took more than three hours on the train, and the four of them arrived in Yuezhou, and the Yin family sent a convoy to pick up people in advance, and the leader was the old acquaintance Yin Zhigao.
In order to show the importance of their in-laws, the Yin family sent three Rolls-Royce Phantoms, and the luxury fleet attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law have worked hard all the way. Yin Zhigao smiled brightly and helped pull the car door.
"This is my cousin Yin Zhigao. Yin Xiaoya was on the side to help introduce.
Li Shang shook hands with Yin Zhigao and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to bother Mr. Yin to come all the way to pick us up at the train station." ”
"It should be, it should be, my father-in-law is too polite. Yin Zhigao laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line.
Now he is at the helm of Kanghao Medicine, relying on the healing liquid, the company's turnover is slowly rising, and when the distribution rights in Northern Europe are decided, the turnover will skyrocket.
The company's performance is good, and Yin Zhigao's confidence in the family is also much stronger, and his speech is harder than before, and he gets a little oil and water from it, which supports him enough.
Of course, the rest of the Yin family knows that this guy has no less benefits, but it's hard to say anything, these are all won by Yin Zhigao, as long as he doesn't go too far, the clan elders will turn a blind eye.
The first time he rode in a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce, Li Yan secretly thought about when he would get one to play with.
Maybe it's because I'm worried about hitting a luxury car, the convoy is empty all around, and other vehicles don't dare to get too close, which is the effect of driving a luxury car.
When I arrived at Yin's house, I happened to have lunch, Li Yan and his party did not arrive, and the head of the family, Yin Zhicheng, did not let the dishes be served, and waited for the people to arrive before starting the banquet.
This is the first time that Li Yan has come face to face with Yin Xiaoya's parents up close, and there will inevitably be some nervousness in his heart, but it is much better than he imagined, at least on the surface, it looks quite natural.
Li Yan attributed this to his wealth and social status, if it was the poor boy before, even if the Yin family did not object to this marriage, standing in front of Yin Xiaoya's parents, his own legs would not help but weaken.
After lunch, the two families chatted together, and at first they talked about business operations, and it was difficult for Yin Xiaoya and other women to interject into the topic.
"Zhicheng, Xiao Yan is here to propose marriage, not a business meeting, why are you pulling him to say this?" Yin Xiaoya's mother, Feng Meng, interrupted helplessly.
Yin Zhicheng patted his head and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost digressed, I have a common topic with Li Yan, and I forgot about the business when we talked." ”
Seeing that he said something like that, Li Yan was full of slander in his heart, if he hadn't developed himself, would he have had a chance to enter the Yin family, to put it bluntly, it was not about valuing healing fluids, there was a common topic of fart.
When it came to family affairs, Li Shang coughed lightly, looked at Yin Zhicheng and Feng Meng and asked, "I don't know if the two in-laws have any requirements for gift money, and we don't know much about the customs and habits here in Nanling." ”
Yin Zhicheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's the twenty-first century now, there's no need to worry too much about these cumbersome etiquette, you just look at it, it doesn't matter how much." ”
That being said, of course, Li Shang and his wife can't be too casual, the two discussed it last night, and it is definitely not appropriate to give too little.
After a pause, Li Shang said: "The result of our discussion here is that the gift money will be taken a more auspicious number, 18.88 million, I don't know what the two in-laws think?"
Before Yin Zhicheng could say anything, Feng Meng smiled and nodded: "This number is good, neither of our two families is an ordinary family, the wedding will definitely attract much attention, if the gift money is too high, it is easy to cause trouble if it is too high-profile." ”
Seeing that Yin Zhicheng did not raise any objections, Li Shang said: "The matter of the gift money is so decided, as for the three golds, they will pick them up by themselves." ”
has money and status, everything is easy to talk about, and in less than three or five sentences, the matter of gift money is decided.
In the next two days, Li Yan accompanied his father and mother to visit Yuezhou City, and it was difficult to go out of the province, of course, he had to walk around.
In that martial arts competition of the five major clans, Li Yan basically visited all the interesting places in Yuezhou City in his spare time, and happened to be a guide for his parents.
Thinking back to the first time he came to Yuezhou, two years had passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Yan couldn't help but think of the Zhao family and the Miss Zhao Qin who had a short marriage contract with him.
Noticing her son's wandering objects, Zhang Cuilan patted him: "Xiaoyan, what are you thinking, so engrossed?"
"It's nothing, just thinking about where to go later. Li Yan responded casually.
Zhang Cuilan thought for a while and said: "I heard that the roast duck in Yuezhou is very delicious, buy a few and send them back to relatives and friends, the price is affordable and there is face." ”
My mother said so, Li Yan had no choice but to find the nearest roast duck shop on the electronic map.
The business in the store is really good, you have to queue up to buy roast duck, Li Yan and the three of them just walked into the store, and three or four young people walked out of them, two of whom were Li Yan's acquaintances.
Seeing the other party's face clearly, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned, he really wanted to come to something.
"Brother-in-law, when did you arrive in Yuezhou, why didn't you tell me in advance!" Zhao Dekai said excitedly.
Next to him was Zhao Qin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, almost unchanged from two years ago, and said hello to Li Yan with a red face, and the other two young people were not familiar with Li Yan, and they were probably also children of the Zhao family.
With an embarrassed smile, Li Yan said: "I just arrived two days ago, so I came with my parents." ”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dekai immediately guessed the identity of Li Shang and his wife, and immediately greeted the two.
Knowing that Li Yan came with his parents, Zhao Qin quickly reacted and asked with a smile: "Uncle and aunt came with you, won't they go to the Yin family to propose, are you and Yin Xiaoya about to have a good time?"
"yes, we're getting engaged. Li Yan nodded.
Anyway, he and Zhao Qin used to be husband and wife, at least legally recognized husband and wife, and it always felt awkward to say this kind of thing in front of his ex-wife.
"That'...... Bless you, don't forget to send me an invitation when you get married, and I'll give you a big red envelope. Zhao Qin stroked her hair and smiled, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that her smile was a little reluctant.
