Siheyuan: Silly Zhu and his sister cling to me

Things are getting tense, and the Kyoto Rolling Mills are no exception.

There is a very mysterious atmosphere in the whole venue, there are many people with good deeds plotting something...

The workers in the workshop work sometimes tight and sometimes loose, and Lin Chuan's little life in the supply and marketing department is also very loose.

On Sunday morning, Lin Chuan packed up early, and rode his bike to the place he had agreed with Ran Qiuye.

On the back seat of Lin Chuan's bicycle, there is a meeting gift he prepared for Ran's family.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ran Qiuye came to him on a bicycle.

"Xiao Lin! You came early!" Ran Qiuye was very satisfied with Lin Chuan's punctuality!
She looked at the big bag on the back seat of Lin Chuan's bicycle and asked, "Xiao Lin! Are you..."

"Oh! It's the first time we meet, you can't go empty-handed, this is a gift for uncles and aunts." Lin Chuan said casually.

"Then let me see first, what are you sending?" Ran Qiuye opened the zipper of the big bag as he said.

Inside the bag was a filter-tipped Daqianmen cigarette and two bottles of Kyoto Erguotou wine.

The rest is three catties of pork, five catties of red apples, and some seasonal fresh vegetables...

Wang Lin was very careful this time. He sorted these things into net bags and put them in a big bag.

In this way, when the time comes, you can weigh them out one by one, and it looks very impressive!

Xiao Lin looks young, but he is quite careful in handling things, and he is so generous in his actions!

Ran Qiuye is very satisfied with her boyfriend's gift!
You know, in that era of material scarcity, Lin Chuandian's great gifts were enough to make the people in the compound envious and jealous!
Ran Qiuye's home, living in the family courtyard of the Kyoto Municipal Education Commission
In this compound, most of the people who lived there were members of the Education Committee and some teachers from key high schools, all of whom were intellectuals.

Lin Chuan followed Ran Qiuye to the family home. Some neighbors who knew Ran Qiuye looked at Lin Chuan who was following her, and looked at this young man curiously.

Gossip is a common feature in the courtyard, and even the family courtyard of the Education Commission, where intellectuals gather together, is not exempt from this point.

"Qiuye! This young man is..." an aunt wearing glasses asked Lin Chuan.

Ran Qiuye blushed, "Aunt Cao! This is my friend..."

"Is it your boyfriend? Qiuye! The young man you are looking for is not bad!" An aunt surnamed Liu giggled.

This made Ran Qiuye's face even redder with embarrassment.

Ran Qiuye didn't know if it was because of shyness or other reasons, she didn't admit or deny Aunt Liu's question.

But she didn't make Lin Chuan's identity very clear.

There are many types of friends. Are they just ordinary friends?

Or better friends?
Or the more intimate kind of boyfriend?
Even though Ran Qiuye didn't make it very clear, the neighbors in the neighborhood still guessed from her blushing face.

The aunts who had been following Ran Qiuye and the others were quietly observing Lin Chuan's movements.

They were all curious, what was in this young man's big bag?
Ran Qiuye and Lin Chuan stopped in front of their building and locked their bicycles.

At this time, Lin Chuan seemed to be juggling from the big bag, took out the gift he had prepared, and began to go upstairs with the things in his hands.

"Tsk tsk! It's not bad for Lao Ran's family to find a son-in-law. They got so many presents for the first time!" Aunt Liu looked at Lin Chuan's back enviously and praised.

"Hi! People are more angry than others. When my son-in-law came here for the first time, he carried two boxes of preserved fruits."

"Come on! You are all better than my family. When my son-in-law came to the door for the first time, he was empty-handed and took nothing, just a mouth!"

Several aunts started to compare one after another...

Ran Qiuye lives on the fourth floor, and there are two floors above.

The fourth floor was also a very good floor when there was no elevator.

At that time, there was a saying in the old capital: the first and second floors were for models, the third and fourth floors were for high-ranking officials, and the fifth and sixth floors were for idiots.

It seems that Ran Qiuye's parents are very prestigious people in this courtyard.

On the fourth floor, Ran Qiuye rang the doorbell at the door.

It stands to reason that Ran Qiuye has the key to the door, so she can open the door and go in; but she didn't do that.

Lin Chuan thought, maybe Ran Qiuye is reporting to his parents again so that they can get ready!

After waiting for a while, I saw Ran's mother Li Huanju wearing a blue flower apron, and she opened the door.

Ran Qiuye introduced shyly, "Mom! This is Lin Chuan."

"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Chuan hurried forward to say hello, he was still holding big and small bags in his hand.

"Oh! It's Xiao Lin, please come in, please come in!" Li Huanju gave way enthusiastically.

Lin Chuan followed them into the house, but didn't see Ran's father Ran Wenhua in the living room.

"Mom! Where's my dad?"

"Oh! Maybe he is reading in the study? Old Ran! The guests are here." Li Huanju called to the study.

Following Li Huanju's shout, Ran's father, Ran Wenhua, came out of the study.

Lin Chuan hurriedly greeted Ran's father, "Hello, Uncle Ran!"

I saw that he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked like a strict teacher. Lao Ran responded very flatly, "Oh! Here you go, sit down."

Lin Chuan put the gift he brought next to the coffee table, and he sat down on the sofa very cautiously.

"Xiao Lin! Don't be cautious, let's chat casually. I heard that you work in a rolling mill..." Ran Wenhua began to investigate Lin Chuan's background.

Ran Qiuye sat down on one side, she felt a little amused by the stiff look.

Ran Wenhua only knew a little about Lin Chuan's life experience. As for other more detailed information, he and his wife Li Huanju didn't know much about it.

Today, I just took this opportunity to check the details of Lin Chuan's family.

It's only natural for the old man to examine the details of his daughter's boyfriend.

"Qiu Ye! Go to the kitchen and help your mother wash the vegetables. I'll chat with Xiao Lin casually." Ran Wenhua felt that his daughter's presence was in the way, so he sent her to the kitchen.

Ran Qiuye looked at Lin Chuan apologetically, and had no choice but to walk towards the kitchen.

Lao Ran held the big front door on the coffee table and asked, "Xiao Lin! Come on, let's smoke!"

"Uncle Ran, I don't smoke." Lin Chuan quickly waved his hand, he knew in his heart: Even if he smokes again, he should pretend to be clean at this time.

Besides, Lin Chuan doesn't have much addiction to cigarettes, he only smokes on very few special occasions.

"Xiao Lin! I heard from Qiu Ye that you used to be an ordinary fitter apprentice in the rolling mill. How come you became a second-level fitter within a year?"

When Lao Ran said this, the eyes behind his lenses shimmered, maybe it was curiosity?
Or a sliver of appreciation?
But Lao Ran's eyes did not mean admiration, Lin Chuan could still understand this!

Is Lao Ran suspecting that he got his position through crooked ways?
