Taxi at night

Chapter 97, Housewarming

Young people don't pay much attention to choosing a date. On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, this day is Tan Rui's rest day, and it is also a happy day for Lu Ren to move into a new house. The two of them started working early in the morning.

There were quite a few people who helped, the landlord, Uncle Li, the couple next door, Brother Qi, Yao Qin and Teacher Yang also came... and Ding Jiali herself was also invited.

It's easier to do things with more people, and Lu Ren doesn't have much stuff, so he rented a light truck and finished it in one trip.

The main reason is that it is more troublesome to go upstairs, because there is no elevator available on the fifth floor, and large items such as refrigerators and washing machines are more tiring. Teacher Yang and Lu Ren are the main work force, and they ran back and forth for two After three trips, I finally moved the things into the room on the fifth floor.

"Xiao Lu, when are you two going to get married? It won't be on May [-]st, right?" Yang Qinghua sat down on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, and asked casually with his legs crossed.He and Yao Qin planned to get married on May Day, so Yang Qinghua asked about it.

The women, who were busy cooking in the kitchen at this time, burst into laughter and had no time to take care of the two of them.

"We want to get the marriage certificate before May [-]st, but we don't know exactly when we will get married." Lu Ren lowered his voice and told Yang Qinghua secretly.Due to the opposition of Tan Rui's family members, the two planned to fight first and play later, resulting in a de facto marriage.But this is the last strategy, and it will not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.

"That's such a pity. We still thought about the two of us having a wedding together." Yang Qinghua said with some pride.

"It's really enviable. Our marriage is troublesome. Even if we secretly get married, it always feels like something is missing."

"Don't worry, according to my opinion, even if Tan Rui's parents don't agree, it's only before marriage. Once you two form a de facto marriage relationship, what's the use of your parents' objection? You have to accept it sooner or later." Yang Qinghua said Looking at the house, he encouraged Lu Ren.Lu Ren nodded, I hope so!

Ding Jiali came out of the bathroom at this time, looking at the two men who were conspiring in a low voice with contempt on her face. Just after hearing the last sentence, she curled her lips and sneered: "Do you think Tan Rui's parents are so easy to mess with? It's best not to do that, otherwise the father and daughter may turn against each other and stop contacting each other."

"Then what do you do? It's not a problem to just procrastinate like this. Tan Rui can procrastinate for a few years, but Lu Ren's age can't afford it." Yang Qinghua looked at Ding Jiali, a little unconvinced Said.

"If you can't afford it, you have to delay it. If you don't tell your parents, getting married secretly will arouse your parents' resentment. It's a sign of disrespect...Of course, if you two really don't care about your parents' feelings, that's another matter." Ding Jiali did not agree with Lu Ren's possible measures. In her opinion, a marriage without the blessing of her parents would not be happy.

"It's still too early to say. After all, I haven't met him yet, and I don't know what his parents think. Maybe they agree." Lu Ren hurriedly stopped the two of them from arguing. Today is not a good time to discuss this matter.

According to Tan Rui, the parents who were thousands of miles away had basically learned about Lu Ren's situation through the phone calls from his grandparents, and opposed the marriage.Although the two parties have not yet met, conflicts are inevitable.

Uncle Li led Yao Qin's daughter and came in from the door, followed by Brother Qi and his wife.They were idle and had nothing to do. After walking downstairs for a while, they came back upstairs again.

The room immediately became lively, and of course the most talked about was the problem of the house.

"This house is good, but it's a bit small. It's okay to live temporarily. In the long run, it's better to buy a big house. Next year, I plan to buy a house in the city, at least 120 square meters or more." Qi Ge is ambitious. He said that he was going to pay in installments and buy a new house.

Yang Qinghua nodded, but said nothing.Uncle Li shook his head and said disapprovingly: "The house is big, so of course it is comfortable to live in. But if it is economical, this small house is more suitable. Two bedrooms and one living room, even if there are children in the future, it will not seem crowded... ..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang rushed to say: "Uncle Li, what if there are guests? There is no place to sleep, so I can only sleep on the sofa. I also agree with buying a big house, preferably with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Yes, it’s comfortable to live in that way.”

"Hmph, that's natural, and it's comfortable when you pay for it." Uncle Li said an irony, and it's still a matter of money.

"That's right! We originally wanted to buy a new house. We first got a down payment, and then paid it back slowly... who doesn't want to live in a new house? We still need money!" Lu Ren was deeply moved, a penny beats a hero, Not to mention 20 million!

The lunch was ready quickly, of course, it was Chef Yao Qin, and Tan Rui was the one to help. Originally, he wanted Chef Le to come and help, but the hotel owner refused to agree, so he was unfortunately absent.

Chef Le had a holiday on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, got married on the 28th, and accompanied his wife back to her natal home on the first day of the lunar new year.

But in this way, Lu Ren had to go back to his hometown on the 27th, and his original plan to work until his thirties was forced to be cancelled. Regardless of the short three days, Lu Ren still suffered a great loss.

Zhang Jia was also frustrated. The boss had something to do, so she followed the holiday and could only stay at home and wait for the next year to start work.

This day was also a memorable day. Lu Ren felt at home for the first time in this city.All of this was not easy. After the guests dispersed, Tan Rui stood on the balcony after taking the night shift, looking at this vibrant city.

When handing over the car at night, he gave Zhang Jia a red envelope, and put three hundred-yuan bills in it, no more and no less.

When the father Lu Decai heard the news of his son's return, he immediately put forward a bunch of small "suggestions", such as buying two sets of new clothes for the younger sister for the New Year, new leather shoes... the stepmother's hair dryer is broken, and I need to replace it with a new one... Besides For women, cosmetics are always in short supply, so it's best to bring some extra back... Lu Ren couldn't remember Linlin's various things for a while, so he had to take a piece of paper and pen and record them one by one, so as not to miss them.

Lu Ren understood that this was the result of his stepmother's reminder, and it was really not easy for his father for the newly formed family, so he didn't plan to be stingy with the money, and agreed one by one.

When he handed Tan Rui the things he had written down, she was taken aback, opened her mouth, and finally said nothing.

On the morning of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Chef Le happily got into Lu Ren's car and happily drove towards his hometown.

The trunk was full of gifts carried by the two of them, some of which were wedding gifts from the hotel owner. It could be seen that Chef Le was highly valued by the owner.

"Lao Le, I won't ask you for travel expenses. Give me two bottles of wine in the carriage. What do you think?" Lu Ren caught sight of a piece of wine given by the hotel owner. There are six bottles in total. Bottles are okay, right?
