Chapter 184: The matchmaker comes to the door
In fact, what Li Yan said was right, when their family visited the villa, the mother's complaints disappeared instantly, the father was amazed, and the younger sister Li Xue directly booked a room on the second floor, marking it as her boudoir in the future.
After wandering around the small garden, Li Xueqian came to her brother and asked, "Brother, tell me honestly, how much did it cost to buy this villa?"
Li Yanmu didn't squint and said, "Didn't you say it a long time ago." Million. ”
"Two million, it's okay for you to fool your parents, but you can't fool me!" Li Xue said with a pout of her mouth.
With such a clever sister on the stall, Li Yan was helpless, waved his hand and said: "Little girl, don't ask too much, see if there is anything missing in the villa, I will deal with it as soon as possible, and we will move in a few days." ”
Li Xue is still a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and sure enough, Li Yan successfully changed the topic, and she couldn't help cheering when she thought that she was about to live in a villa mansion. Rush into the hall to see if there is a lack of appliances.
In order to sell the house as soon as possible, Zhang Zhaoyang left many household appliances and furniture intact, which was similar to when Li Yan moved into the Jinjiang community.
A careful inspection showed that there were some bits and pieces of daily necessities missing. The rest is readily available.
In this area of Jiangnan, moving and getting married are almost as important, and they will choose a good day, notify relatives and friends, and hold a few tables of banquets.
Li Shang and his wife did not hide it this time. Send invitations to relatives and neighbors and invite them to a banquet on the day of the housewarming.
Knowing that Li Yan's family was going to live in a riverside villa, the second uncle and the third uncle were stunned, they knew that Li Yan was rich, but they couldn't believe that they were so rich.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that all the money was spent on restaurants, how could you still have money to buy a mansion...; …;” The third uncle, Li De, muttered, and his heart was not very balanced.
Before Li Yan developed, among the three brothers, their family had the best economic conditions, but now they are far behind by the boss's house, and they are naturally a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
The third aunt on the side threw the invitation aside, and snorted angrily: "You are stupid, Li Yan said that if you don't have money, you will believe it, he is biased, I really don't know what he thinks, I haven't seen how good the second family is to him before, and the debt of more than two million yuan will be repaid, but it will not pull out a dime for our family!"
Li De has always been afraid of guilt, but he still reminded him in a low voice: "You can just say this at home." Don't go outside and shout around, let outsiders listen to the joke. ”
"Of course I know, and I'm not as stupid as you!" The third aunt grabbed the teacup, poured most of the cup and opened it cold, only then did she feel more comfortable, and said: "No, we still have to go to the old family to cry poor, if it doesn't work once, twice, I don't believe that Li Yanzhen doesn't care about you, the third uncle!"
"If you want to go, you have to wait for them to finish moving, because people have a big event, and we can't get the money. Li De said.
The news that Li Yan's family was going to move quickly spread among the neighbors, and when the four sides inquired, all the neighbors were surprised.
They don't know how much it costs to buy a villa, but it is definitely more expensive than those suites of 100 square meters, a villa costs two or three million, and everyone praises Li Shang and his wife for their good fortune, giving birth to a capable son, and making a lot of money while still in college, isn't it even more remarkable after graduation.
Li Shang is fine. is more calm and atmospheric, Zhang Cuilan's face is wrinkled with laughter, who doesn't want their son to be promising, children have ability, and they can be parents too.
Modern times pay attention to the autonomy of marriage, but the ancient profession of matchmaker still exists, the Li family is developed, and matchmakers from all walks of life have come to the door, not only looking at Li Yan, but some people even hit Li Xue with their ideas.
In ancient times, seventeen or eighteen-year-old Li Xue was also a big girl, with a good family background and good looks, it was normal for her to become the object of many attention.
The most annoying thing is Li Yan, four or five matchmakers are staring at him, asking long and short questions, and he can't ignore them if he wants to.
These people are not professional matchmakers, but part-time jobs by the old people in the neighborhood, everyone is an acquaintance, and some of them still watched him grow up, and they are considered Li Yan's elders.
On the contrary, Zhang Cuilan was very happy about this, and the matchmaker took the initiative to come to the door, and there was more than one, indicating that more than one family wanted to marry their daughter to their son. This is a great thing!
After encountering it a few times, Li Yan developed a phobia of matchmakers, as long as a matchmaker came to the door, he pretended to go to the toilet and hid for an hour before coming out.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about my brother's life's events, I went to Funing this time, and my brother introduced several beautiful sisters to me, they...; …;”
Before Li Xue finished speaking, her brother reached out to cover her, and Li Yan smiled embarrassedly: "Mom, don't listen to this stupid girl's nonsense." ”
Zhang Cuilan's eyes lit up violently, and she pulled Li Yan's hand away, urging her daughter to continue.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Li Xue smiled slyly: "I can feel that Sister Xia Mu has a good impression of you, and the sister surnamed Wang looks at you very well." ”
Noticing the gazes of his mother and father, Li Yan argued a little helplessly: "I didn't lie to you, I'm really just an ordinary classmate." ”
For some reason, when he said this, it sounded like a lie, and his heart became more and more depressed.
"The classmates are good, the college students are of good quality, and they know each other better. Zhang Cuilan nodded, and then said earnestly: "But son." You can't be half-hearted about this kind of thing, you can get along well with which girl you see, but you can't step on two boats, we can't do that kind of lack of morality. ”
Li Yan was about to vomit blood, and there was still no clarity between him and Yin Xiaoya, not to mention the two boats, one of which was not steady.
When he returned to his room, it was rare for his ears to be cleared, and Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could relax for two minutes, his phone rang. It turned out to be Yan Zhu, who hadn't been in touch for a long time.
Last time on the train to Dongping County, Li Yan met him by chance, left each other's mobile phone numbers, and added WeChat, but they didn't contact each other much.
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Yan Zhu say on the other end: "Hey, old man, are you on summer vacation?"
Li Yan was a little speechless: "More than half of the summer vacation has passed, do you think I have a summer vacation?"
Yan Zhu laughed, didn't care about the nonsense he said, and said with a smile: "Have you returned to Dening, a few of our old classmates have organized a party, are you interested in joining in the fun?"
Li Yan really didn't have much interest in this kind of junior high school reunion, and many of his classmates hadn't been in touch for many years. It's not much different from strangers.
But people called to invite, and it was impossible to say that it was impossible not to go, Li Yan thought about it, instead of staying at home and dealing with those who came to talk about matchmaking, it was better to go to the party, so he agreed.
Among the students of the same class, except for a few who have entered the society, the vast majority of them are studying in college, and their student days are relatively simple, and Li Yan is not worried that someone will show off their wealth or the like.
As for class reunions after college. It's more difficult to say, work, income, social status, etc., will become the capital of comparison.
The meeting place was set in a good restaurant, and Yan Zhu said that this was a classmate's family's property, and all the food and drink expenses were sponsored by that classmate.
This is not the first time that a junior high school party has been held, but no one has informed Li Yan before, and it is the first time he has participated, and only a few classmates have come forward to greet him.
Relatively speaking, Yan Zhu is relatively open-minded and keeps in touch with many old classmates.
At this time, a handsome-looking boy came over and said with a smile: "Li Yan, it's rare that you can come over, you were a talented person in our class, I heard that you were admitted to Funing University, let's have two more drinks later." ”
Li Yan was slightly embarrassed because he just wanted to greet the other party, but he forgot what the person's name was.
Not only this male classmate, but also several female classmates Li Yan couldn't remember their names, and they didn't communicate much in the past, so their impression was not too deep.
Fortunately, he had a good reaction ability, and he snorted: "It's not easy for old classmates to get together, we have to drink a few more drinks!"
The boy wanted to say something, but a curly-haired beauty not far away came over and whispered, "Su Rong, I'm really embarrassed to let you break the bank every time I get a party." ”
"Old squad leader, you are too polite, it is our honor to be able to hold a party in my restaurant. Su Rong replied with a smile.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Yan suddenly remembered the boy's name, touched the tip of his nose, and felt a little weak.
The old squad leader Lu Qingqing and Li Yan remember very well that in junior high school, Lu Qingqing was one of the few opponents he had in his studies, with quite outstanding grades and good looks, so he was elected as the class president from the second year of junior high school.
After a few years of not seeing her, Lu Qingqing has become more beautiful and attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings, but her attention seems to be focused on Su Rong, and she is extremely enthusiastic about him, and Li Yan and Yan Zhu on the side are directly ignored.
