Chapter 114
In Erwa’s opinion, getting a tubal ligation was no big deal, after all, the kids in the hutongs were so dumb that he couldn’t help but knock their brains out every time he tutored them in their homework
As proud as Erwa was, he hadn’t thought of meeting a girl in the future who would make him want to have a child
Therefore, in his opinion, having a child is not beneficial, not to have a child instead of a lot of benefits, brother to go to the sterilization, he did not stop in the slightest
However, he realized that when his sister heard this, she was suddenly out of sorts
“Sis, what’s wrong with you?” Erwa asked curiously
Lin Minjun didn’t know what was wrong with her, just that her mind suddenly went blank as she parked her bike on the side of the road
“You said your brother went to the hospital to get a ligation? Right now?” Lin Minjun reconfirmed
Erwa was confused, “Yeah, he told me when he left this morning”
“Do you know which hospital?”
Erwa: “It should be at the health center, it’s the closest to our place”
Lin Minjun took two deep breaths and immediately said to Erwa: “This is not far from our home, can you walk back by yourself? When you get home, go to my kitchen and get two pounds of rice and go to Auntie Cao’s house for dinner, I’m a bit busy right now”
“Yes, I can, my way to school is farther than this” Erwa said and got out of the car, taking a few steps but still unsure, “Sister, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry, don’t play around outside, let’s talk about it when we get home” Lin Minjun said, seeing Erwa walking away, she got on her bike and quickly went towards the health center
After arriving at the health center, Lin Minjun parked her car at the entrance, and now asked the nurse’s desk to ask if anyone had seen a tall, thin man who came to do a ligation
The nurse saw too many people a day and tried to recall, “There are quite a lot of people who came to do the ligature today, and there are also skinny and tall ones, I don’t know who you are talking about”
“I’ll go in and find out myself then”
The nurse was alarmed, “Hey hey comrade you can’t go over there, it’s full of gay men with their pants down, you can only be in the corridor, but you can’t go back in ah, that’s hooliganism”
Lin Minjun’s head is sweating, looked around the corridor, did not see Yan Li brother
On the contrary, a few male comrades who were waiting to have their ligations done were like seeing ghosts, guarding the waistband of their own pants and quietly slipping to the root of the wall
The way they looked at her was like they were looking at a female hooligan
Lin Minjun endured her shyness and boldly wandered around the corridor one more time
Because of the nurse’s words, she didn’t dare to enter the door, so she waited for a while at the entrance of the two clinics, and realized that the person who came out from inside wasn’t Yan Li either
Now she was anxious, and didn’t know whether Brother Yan Li had gone to the operating table, or to the restroom? Or maybe he had already gone home after the surgery?
Lin Minjun waited for a while and did not find anyone, the nurse has already come to say twice, she can only go out first
Standing in front of the hospital, the warm sun shines on the body, illuminated people warm, hospital entrance and a big fat cat sleeping, a black and white big fat cat, spread belly sleeping in the flower bed, at this time is opening his eyes lazily looking at her
Lin Minjun and that fat cat stared at each other, simply want to cry
In his last life, when his family quarreled, Lu Deping said in a fit of anger that he would get a sterilization and never run around having children again
But in the end, he was still stopped by Lu’s mother, who had to tell them, as a medical worker, that sterilization is not good for men
Ligation harms the body, after this surgery will back pain, and how how, a good scare, and said that for the sake of family planning, the hospital doctors will not tell them these things
Lin Minjun can no longer remember the latter things, now the only thing that can be remembered is that the ligation hurts the body
Lin Minjun can probably guess that Yan Li went to get a ligation probably for himself, because he said he would not have children he went to get a ligation
How could he be like this, going without even saying hello
Lin Minjun slowly squatted on the ground, feeling dizzy
After a while, dragging her heavy steps to stand up, she pushed her bike and walked outside the hospital, looking on both sides of the street as she walked
She still held a little hope that Brother Yan Li hadn’t finished his surgery yet, and was just out for a stroll on his way to wait, and could be bumped into by her
As she walked, Lin Minjun suddenly realized that the person standing in front of a small restaurant on the side of the road particularly resembled Yan Li
She thought her eyes were blurred, and after taking a serious look, she was now completely sure that the person was Yan Li!
Yan Li is standing on the side of the road to talk to someone, standing opposite is a middle-aged man, hair on both sides are white, the two people chatting lively
Suddenly heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head alertly, and saw Lin Minjun with two eyes as red as rabbits, pushing the station behind him
He was flabbergasted for a moment, “Ah Jun, what’s wrong with you?”
The moment she heard his voice, Lin Minjun’s tears instantly broke out, and she couldn’t stop them
She didn’t know why she was sniffling, she wasn’t sad, she just felt sour in her heart, and that sourness all of a sudden topped up, topped her nasal passages, and her tears involuntarily fell down
Crying too suddenly, too strong, all of a sudden choking, she then huffed and puffed to speak, “Are you here for the operation? Is it already done?”
Yan Li understood at once, and could only comfort the crying little object first, “It’s not done yet”
“I don’t believe it” Lin Minjun glared at him with reddened eyes, her eyes weren’t ferocious, instead she looked like a small rabbit that had been cornered and wanted to bite
She didn’t even see that there was someone else in front of Yan Li, and went up and checked around his body, realizing that there was no smell of medicine or gauze, and immediately sighed in relief
Luckily, luckily, it shouldn’t be there yet
“What surgery? Little Li, are you not feeling well?” A man’s voice rang in his ear
Lin Minjun was instantly dumbfounded, stiffly raised her head, and only at this point did she realize that there was a man in front of her, a man whose hair was white, but who was upright and had an air of nonchalance, staring at the two of them suspiciously
This man called Yan Liguo’s nickname, obviously recognized, or elders
She actually cried like this in front of her elders, crying like a flower-faced cat!
Lin Minjun felt embarrassed as an afterthought, her throat rolled, and in the moment, she actually didn’t know what to say, casting a pleading look towards Yan Li
She didn’t know who this elder was, what to call him, not to mention how to dissolve the current embarrassment
“It’s a misunderstanding” Yan Li’s voice was gentle as he took out a handkerchief to help Lin Minjun dry her tears
He didn’t seem to feel ashamed at all, instead he smiled
He smiled and told the man across from him, “There’s nothing wrong with my body, it’s her who’s worried that I misunderstood, don’t worry Uncle Gu”
Gu Zhongyuan looked at the young couple across from him broadly, “Then I’m relieved, is this your date?”
“Right” Yan Li said
Gu Zhongyuan then jokingly said, “Then you have to coax people, just now crying is really sad! Took me by surprise, thought something was wrong with you”
This is a flirtation, immediately dissolved the current awkward scene
Yan Li then introduces the two to each other, first introducing Lin Minjun to the elders, “Formal introduction, Uncle Gu, this is my fiancée Lin Minjun”
Then he introduced Lin Minjun to the elders: “Ah Jun, this is my parents’ old friend, surnamed Gu, just follow me and call me uncle”
This time, Lin Minjun has already cleaned up her mood, although her eyes are still red, but she greeted with a generous attitude, “Good day, Uncle Gu”
Once Gu Zhongyuan heard it was his fiancée, he looked at Lin Minjun more seriously
But didn’t look at it for long, just a brief glance, he nodded his head slightly and said with a smile, “You called me an uncle, I can’t afford to do it for nothing, the first time you meet you should give a meet and greet gift, but you went out in too much of a hurry today, wrap up a red packet”
“No, no, no, I can’t take it” Lin Minjun hurriedly excused herself
I don’t know what this Uncle Gu does, his hands are particularly strong and deft, before Lin Minjun could see what he did, the red packet had already arrived in her hands
Once she touched it, she knew that there was a lot of money, and looked at Yan Li blankly
Yan Li smiled and said, “Uncle Gu gave it to you, just keep it”
Lin Minjun had no choice but to put it away and quietly stood by the side listening to the two of them
At this time, he heard Uncle Gu ask, “How is Xiao Li’s job now, are you still used to it?”
“Very used to it, unit coworkers are all very nice, and the leader is also very good to me” Yan Li said
Gu Zhongyuan nodded, “What difficulties you run into at work that can’t be solved, you can go to me, it’s still the same address as before, you remember, right?”
“I remember”
Gu Zhongyuan: “Being in this position, it’s impossible for me to help you through the back door, but I also have many years of experience as a criminal police officer, if there’s anything you don’t understand you can come to me and we’ll discuss it together”
The two of them just chatted about the work situation
Lin Minjun listened for a while before realizing that Uncle Gu on the opposite side actually had a pretty heavy identity, he was the hand of Yan Li’s superior unit
However, people say is also very clear, the back door is impossible, family relatives also can not, all in accordance with the rules and regulations
But what can’t be solved difficult problem, but can door to door to ask for advice, together with the discussion
After asking about the work situation, Gu Zhongyuan asked another question, “I see your feelings are quite good, have the idea of marriage? When do you plan to get married?”
Speaking of this, Yan Li couldn’t help himself and spoke with a smile, “We’re going to get a license tomorrow, and we plan to do the wedding after a while, so I’ll be sure to invite you to come and drink the wedding wine at that time”
“Getting a license tomorrow?” Gu Zhongyuan froze for a moment, followed by a smile, “A good thing is near, this is a great thing! Good thing!”
He was overjoyed, and straight away said, “I heard this news, I’m really happy for you guys, and also for your parents, why don’t we do it this way, I just happen to be retiring recently, and I also have the strength, I’ll help you guys organize the wedding”
To organize a wedding this kind of thing, Lin Minjun last life did not do it, but Lu Xueping married when she has seen, that can be too much trouble
Here to catch, there to take care of, the degree and many and complicated, this time the new couple is also easy to quarrel
In short, it was a particularly troublesome thing, but people were willing to help, which was really for their sake
Lin Minjun and Yan Li exchanged a glance
Lin Minjun was particularly embarrassed and said, “How can that be, it’s too much trouble for you, how can it be good”
Gu Zhongyuan said amiably, “I’m not the only one, there are several of us, we’re all friends of Xiao Li’s parents, you’re busy at work and we happen to be free, so what’s the trouble in helping to organize it”
He also said, “In fact, there is another reason, Xiaoli’s parents went early, did not have time to see him start a family and leave, now our old friends have the money to contribute money, the powerful to contribute, together to help you do a lively, we have seen it with our own eyes, is the same as they have seen it with their own eyes, but also to do our part of the heart”
The elders were too kind to refuse, and having already said so, Lin Minjun was too embarrassed to open her mouth and refuse
Plus, her new store was about to open, and she was indeed busy as a gyroscope
So the two of them had a thank you and agreed
Gu Zhongyuan was very serious about helping with the arrangements, so he asked, “Have you discussed a date for the wedding? Did you propose marriage?”
These were all discussed last night, Yan Li said, “I intend to go to propose marriage a week later, and the wedding day is set for the beginning of next month, when the weather happens to be warm, not too cold, not too hot, not too cold to freeze and catch a cold just by wearing a dress”
“Young people are very meticulous” Gu Zhongyuan smiled and patted Yan Li’s shoulder, “proposing marriage without elders can’t work, when the time comes, I will bring people to accompany you to propose marriage, this matter turn back and let’s talk about it, what should be given is given, not enough money for us to help you to get together, we can’t condescend to others In addition, where do you plan to do the wedding?”
Lin Minjun then said, “Uncle Gu, we plan to do it in my own restaurant, one is thrifty and frugal, no need to waste money, the other is also what we have discussed, my restaurant has just opened, a lively wedding, can also open the restaurant’s fame”
Gu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Minjun approvingly, and then asked, “How big is the restaurant, and roughly how many people do you want to invite?”
Lin Minjun then roughly reported a number
Gu Zhongyuan listened and thought about it, “I suggest you hold it at the Protectorate Hotel”
“Here’s the reason, the restaurant is a bit small, if you count according to ten people a table, the tables are a bit close together, it’s inevitably a bit crowded, if you count according to twelve people a table, it’s not too decent, you guys don’t have a large number of people, so it’s not a waste to do it at the Protectorate Hotel”
Regarding this, Lin Minjun had not thought about it before, and now that she heard Uncle Gu bring it up, upon closer examination it was indeed the case
Usually dinner is okay, the table can be set up more, hold a wedding banquet can only undertake small weddings, the best twenty or thirty people, more people will be messy, looks noisy, not decent
She did not have many friends with Yan Li, but a count of the number of surprisingly also quite a lot, as well as Yan Li’s parents’ friends, unit colleagues, plus the neighbors in the compound, so nearly fifty people, this time or go to the Protectorate Hotel is more appropriate
Lin Minjun smiled gratefully, “Good, listen to you, we go to the Protectorate Hotel”
