Chapter 113
“Xiao Lin you’ve finally come out, just now we realized that you’ve disappeared, we thought something had happened” Sister-in-law Xu breathed a sigh of relief
“Look at what you’re saying, sister-in-law, I’m at the Public Security Bureau, what could have happened” Lin Minjun smiled, and then went forward to help cover Ling Ling’s blanket
When they arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, the villagers who drove the donkey cart had already returned
Mrs Xu borrowed a tricycle at some point and rode it herself to take her daughter home
The weather is cold, freezing people can not stretch their legs, riding very slowly, Lin Minjun is followed by the side
But all she could think about was what she had just talked to Yan Li about, the bride price, three turns and a ring, the wedding, and most importantly, the marriage
Lin Minjun felt confused and had the feeling that she was dreaming
“Ai ai ai, Xiao Lin you be careful, quickly dodge” Suddenly tugged by sister-in-law Xu, Ding Ling was sitting in the bucket of the tricycle, also screaming
Lin Minjun snapped back to her senses, and realized that there was a big tree in front of her, so it was because she was distracted when she was walking just now, and she was walking on a crooked path
If it wasn’t for Mrs Xu pulling her back in time, she would have been bruised and swollen
Lin Minjun immediately came to her senses, patted her chest and said: “Thank you sister-in-law, fortunately you pulled a hand, otherwise I would have crashed today”
Her daughter had been recovered, and she had grown up and understood, so Mrs Xu couldn’t be happier in her heart
She jumped off the tricycle and looked at Lin Minjun with a smile, “I just watched you walk in front of the tree and thought you saw it, but in the end, you still continued to walk forward, and Ling Ling and I were both startled”
“That’s not right Xiao Lin, you’re not usually like this, is something wrong? What were you thinking just now?” Sister-in-law Xu couldn’t help but think the worst again
Lin Minjun hesitated, pursed her lips and smiled, “Sister-in-law, I’m getting married soon”
“You and Yan Li are getting ready to get married? That’s a big deal? When?” Sister-in-law Xu said afterward
Lin Minjun: “It hasn’t been decided yet, the two of us are just getting ready to discuss the exact date tonight, but the day after tomorrow we’ll go and get a license”
“After receiving the license, the wedding won’t be too late” Sister-in-law Xu mounted the tricycle and continued walking, signaling Lin Minjun to follow, “Have you decided on the clothes you’ll wear when you get married? I see that some girls like to wear western style wedding dresses nowadays, that fluffy one is quite nice, but the little liberation dress is also nice, it was very popular some years ago”
“Can’t tell, sister-in-law you know a lot about this area” Lin Minjun was a bit surprised and sincerely asked for advice, “Do you think I’m suitable for that kind? I really don’t know anything about this area at all”
Sister-in-law Xu looked Lin Minjun up and down, “You have a good figure and white skin, in fact, it’s very suitable to wear either kind, but if you ask me the most suitable is that kind of slim skirt, the upper half is slim and the lower half wraps around your legs, it’s both dignified and can modify your figure very well”
“Sister-in-law can you draw a drawing for me? I’ll find a tailor to make it later” Lin Minjun was also tempted upon hearing this
Sister-in-law Xu then smiled and said cheerfully, “Find a tailor for what, I can make it for you myself”
“You can make clothes?” Lin Minjun was surprised
It wasn’t that it was rare to know how to make clothes, it was that it was rare to know how to make good looking clothes
Sister-in-law Xu was a bit smug, “When I was in my mother’s house, I made all the clothes for our sisters’ marriages, and outsiders who wanted to find me to help make clothes still had to give eggs in exchange”
She seriously said, “This time you helped me find Ling Ling, I still worry about how to thank you, now well, you’re getting married, I’m top happy, I just married over when Xiao Li was still a child, it’s kind of what I’ve watched grow up, now that you guys can come together, I’m even happier, the wedding clothes you give to me, count it as my additions to your makeup”
Lin Minjun heard this, her heart was of course full of emotion, “You help me make the clothes, I already find it troublesome, I’ll go buy the fabric myself”
“Don’t you be polite with me about this, how much un material do you need to make a dress? I’ll go rip the cloth and give the rest to Ling Ling to make her clothes, it’s pointless for you to bother with me about this” Sister-in-law Xu sealed the deal
Lin Minjun pushed back a few times, but Mrs Xu was still very insistent
So what else could she do, she cried and laughed and agreed, calculating in her heart that when the restaurant opened, she could pack a few dishes in the back kitchen and come back to give mother and daughter a taste
On the way back, Lin Minjun discussed with Mrs Xu about the fabrics of the clothes to be worn on the wedding day, and which ones would look good and be easy to take care of
Lin Minjun didn’t know anything about this before, but Mrs Xu was very knowledgeable
In addition, Lin Minjun also took the opportunity to ask some questions about wedding customs, Mrs Xu said: “What does your hometown say? Everything is still according to the customs on the bride’s side, it’s respect”
“I left home at a very young age, the customs on my home side ” Lin Minjun was a little confused
Xu sister-in-law saw this, all of a sudden heartbroken, quickly said: “Do not know is also okay, we are now a new society, according to the new customs can also be, at that time I go to help you with the yard a few older women to ask for advice, in accordance with the customs of the North City is also okay, to ensure that you let you get married in style and splendor”
Then later chat, are all around the wedding customs and habits, Lin Minjun listening to sister-in-law Xu to tell herself the etiquette and habits of the time of marriage, for a time actually a bit of a trance
She was really getting married
Married to Yan Li
Originally said, that night Yan Li after work will come over to discuss the matter of marriage, the results to the sky dark or not see people
Lin Minjun waited for a while did not see people will understand, it is estimated that the unit side of what task delayed time, so did not wait for the silly, the home organized a bit, he made a meal called Erwa to eat, eat and then go to sister-in-law Xu’s home, with sister-in-law Xu went to Xu Auntie’s home, the three people sat together to discuss the marriage of the matter
When she came out of Auntie Xu’s house, she saw Yan Li waiting at her door
“You’re back? Have you eaten?” Lin Minjun smiled, “I left some rice for you, warm it up and you can eat”
Yan Li hadn’t had a full night’s sleep in a long time, and having to discuss the marriage today, and coming back late, his heart was actually a little apprehensive, worried that Lin Minjun would be angry
Hearing this, his heart instantly softened, “No need to get busy, let’s go in and discuss it, then you can go to sleep, doesn’t the restaurant still have things to do tomorrow”
Speaking of two people are very busy, in fact, did not discuss much, agreed on the date of the wedding, looking through the calendar to find a good day to propose marriage, and then find a formal day to hold the wedding in the back
In addition, we also discussed where the wedding was held, how much the budget, when the budget to choose the wedding reception guests on the table, in addition to the approximate statistics of friends invited to attend the wedding
After discussing so much, Lin Minjun looked up and saw the red blood in the subject’s eyes, and was shocked, “Why is there so much red blood in your eyes, let’s stop here for today, we’ll discuss it later, you go back to rest”
“Ah Jun, it’s fine, it’s the same to go to sleep after discussing it” Yan Li said
No one knew the excitement and thrill in his heart, the kind of excitement that was bashful on the surface, but actually hated the idea of immediately arranging all these things and marrying his sweetheart back home
Lin Minjun softly glared at him, “Look at you in a hurry, I’m right here still can’t run away, you quickly go back to sleep, soon will be married, I don’t want a sick husband”
So the discussion ended here, Lin Minjun froze and threw him out and went home to rest
By this time it was also late, most of the people in the hutong had their lights out, Lin Minjun lay on the bed for a long time before she closed her eyes
This night excited did not sleep much, the next day got up early
Tomorrow was the important day of receiving the license, time had to be freed up, and today, she had to go and deal with the matters of the tavern
“Sis, have you thought of a name for the tavern?” Erwa asked his sister as he sat on the back of the bike
Early this morning, Lin Minjun gathered Erwa up and asked him to accompany him to the restaurant
Erwa said, “When you open a store you can take a homely name, now it’s best to take a nice name for the restaurant, the people who come to eat now are not the same people”
Lin Minjun: “It’s this reasoning, in fact, I thought of a name before, just haven’t decided on it, and I don’t know if it’s good or not, lining or not”
“What name?” Erwa said curiously
“Ru Gui Lou, guests are at home” Lin Minjun said, “I can’t guarantee that what I do is the most authentic Yunnan cuisine, after all, it has been improved and adapted to local tastes But the main focus of the restaurant is the warm service and homely flavor, don’t you think?”
“Ruigui Lou” Erwa chewed in his mouth a few times and his eyes lit up, “Quite good, really quite good”
Lin Minjun laughed, “You think it’s good too? Then I’ll go and customize the plaque”
Speaking to the door of the restaurant, Erwa stood in the center with his arms crossed, looked at half a day, and then came a sentence, “Sister, you opened this restaurant business must be good, as long as you can put the fame out, maybe better than the business of the Protectorate Hotel”
Protectorate Hotel is now the most prosperous business, but also the most decent hotel, spacious place, the food is also high-grade, the rich people in the North City have any important things, wedding or birthday banquet will be set in that
Once Lin Minjun heard this, she felt that Erwa’s breath was too big, she herself hadn’t even thought about this, “I borrowed your good advice, but don’t think about that right now, come over here and help me write the job posting first”
At present the restaurant decoration has been all done, want to open anytime can open, firecrackers a hang, can open for business
There are only two things missing, the first is to finalize the menu, Lin Minjun is mainly here to do this today, and the second is recruitment
At present, the store is still she and Cao Da-ma in the work, must be recruited a handyman, plus a chef, handyman good recruitment, chef difficult, after all, now reform and opening up, there is a craft of people can go to a better hotel to apply for employment, can not go out on their own, why go to other people’s stores to get a dead wage
People with crafts in the body, there are a few points of pride
Let’s not talk about this first, anyway, the recruitment notice hang out, see if there are people to say
Erwa’s handwriting is good, Lin Minjun just pulled him over
Sisters and brothers are sitting on both sides of the table, Lin Minjun draws up the menu, Erwa wrote the recruitment notice
After a while, Erwa held up a piece of paper and blew dry the ink, came over and asked, “Sister, how do you look?”
“Wow, your writing is getting better and better now” Lin Minjun took it and looked at it twice, seeing that all the information that should be on it was written on it, and there was nothing out of place, immediately taking the paste and sticking it to the side
Erwa was as proud as a little peacock, “That’s right, there are so many calligraphy posters in the east room of our house, I follow and practice when I have nothing else to do”
Lin Minjun looked at him with amusement, this child still has that wild energy from before, now he is like a peacock
The two siblings were just enjoying themselves, when they suddenly heard a voice from behind, “Xiao Lin, is this your restaurant?”
Lin Minjun turned around and was a bit surprised, “Auntie Xu, why are you here?”
Standing at the back was Auntie Xu
Auntie Xu smiled and said, “I heard that a clothing mall opened here so I came over to take a look and buy a couple of seasonal clothes, and when I saw that the person at the door looked like you, I came over to take a look, and at a glance, it’s really you”
Lin Minjun opened a restaurant thing, the courtyard has been rumored, but do not know the specific address
At this time, Auntie Xu took two steps back and looked at the restaurant, her heart was also shocked, this can be really grand, bureau gas
Lin Minjun is embarrassed, “It’s my restaurant, because I didn’t recruit manpower, it hasn’t officially opened yet, I was thinking that when it officially opens then I’ll invite you guys to come over and take a look, and have a lively meal together”
“We didn’t help, how inappropriate to rub a meal for no reason” Auntie Xu said as she took a step forward, saw a piece of paper posted on it, and scanned it from top to bottom, “You’re recruiting handymen here?”
“Yes, to help wash the dishes, clear the table, clean up, serve food to greet guests and so on”
Auntie Xu made a snap decision, “Do you think I can do it? I’ve been doing these jobs for decades”
“I’m just starting out here, the salary isn’t too high” Lin Minjun was a bit surprised, of course she was overjoyed that Auntie Xu could come over
After all, she is a person in the compound, she is also clear about Auntie Xu’s behavior, work is not sharp, personality is also bright, this kind of person is very suitable for entertaining guests
Auntie Xu said: “Xiao Lin, I also tell you the truth, in fact, I have my own retirement pay, also have savings, a person can not spend a lot of money to live, mainly to stay at home is too boring, there is no one in the compound can talk to, I want to come to you here to work, one is because more or less a little bit of things can be done, and the second is, to go to work elsewhere, do not know how far away from home, in your at least have the opportunity to work here, I want to work here How far away, in your at least have WuXiuHua together, we both commute together can also talk, but don’t worry, I don’t rely on the old, what should you tell me clearly, never lazy, have to do is not in place place you also straight say on the line”
Lin Minjun thought for a while, “Then come to try, can adapt if you do here”
The two agreed on a time to go to work, and Auntie Xu went home first
Lin Minjun finished the little bit of finishing work of drawing up the menu, and also had to take Erwa home for dinner
Riding her bike towards home, she suddenly remembered, “Last night your brother said he wanted to go home for lunch, I don’t know if he’s off work yet, why don’t we find a place to see what time it is, and if it’s still early go to the food market to buy some vegetables”
At that moment, the bicycle turned a corner, to enter the cooperative
Erwa tightly gripped the bicycle cushion, hungry stomach rumbling, but also strange, “My brother does not work today ah”
“He is not on vacation until tomorrow, how come he is not working today?” Lin Minjun said
Erwa looked up at the sky and recalled, “He said he was going to the hospital today”
“Why would he go to the hospital for good reason?”
“It seems like he’s going to get a ligation, that is, to have an operation so that he won’t have children in the future” Erwa unintentionally said
