Accidentally born in the ’60s

Although Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen still haven't set a wedding date due to the proposal, the two adults have already started preparations. Ling Xiulan usually likes to visit Lao Li's house when she has nothing to do, and Zhen Zhen often comes to sit in her house when she is at home. Seeing that Zhen Zhen likes more classical furniture, she specially asked someone to buy a set of Ming Dynasty furniture from Huanghuali. Very nice, the whole set of furniture can't even see a single bump.

The walls are all painted again, the surface is five rooms wide, the table and chairs are placed in the bright room as a living room, and there are second rooms and small rooms on the left and right. After getting through, it was used as a study room for the two of them, and he did not forget to prepare a large table for painting, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other small things for Zhen Zhen. The east second room is a bedroom for two people. A sewer pipe is added to make a waterproof treatment. The innermost is a glass bathroom. The huge bathtub is sent back from abroad by a friend of Ling Xiulan. It is enough for two people to use at the same time. , A toilet and washbasin are installed outside the glass door, and the outermost is a shelf and a washing machine.

The left and right wing rooms were also tidied up again. Ling Xiulan moved all the things she used before and put them in the empty room. The wing room was repainted and renovated into a children's room for future grandchildren or granddaughters.

Ling Xiulan began to work on this matter during the New Year's Eve, and it was June when she was completely cleaned up. She asked the nanny to wipe the house clean. Ling Xiulan carried a basket of fresh fruits and prepared to arrive Next door, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen were invited to come and see the new house.

Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are watching TV at home. The small black and white TV that Li Muwen sent has been eliminated, and now it may be the color TV that Zhen Zhen bought for Mrs. Li. Since Mrs. Li got this color TV, she turned on the TV as soon as she woke up in the morning. She went around the garden in the morning and then watched the TV stop playing. But Wang Sufen was worried, for fear that Mrs. Li watched too much TV. I broke my eyes.

Ling Xiulan led the fruit into the house with familiarity. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled: "Auntie, I'm watching TV again."

Mr. Li put the melon seeds aside, stood up and squinted her eyes with a smile: "It's beautiful, you can see old movies from the past, and there are still operas in them."

Wang Sufen poured a cup of tea for Ling Xiulan, washed a plate of cherries and placed them on the table beside Ling Xiulan: "The cherry tree in my home is big and sweet, you can try it."

Ling Xiulan sat down and took a cherry and put it in her mouth. As soon as her teeth touched the skin of the cherry, a stream of sweet water was sprayed into her mouth. Ling Xiulan narrowed her eyes and praised, "Really Sweet, auntie, I found that no matter what kind of fruit you grow in your house, it's delicious."

Mr. Li nodded with a smile: "This is true, to tell you the truth, we Zhen Zhen are very talented in planting, and we are also planting fruit trees, and I don't see how she treats them. But what she grows tastes better than what others grow."

"Zhenzhen's flowers are also good." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "I have so many flowers that I usually look at, but every time Zhenzhen goes to water, the first Those flowers are big and watery in the next two days, just like the nectar and jade liquid she poured."

Old Mrs. Li laughed loudly: "When Zhen Zhen gets married, I guarantee that your flowers will bloom every day for a year and twelve months without defeat."

"Then I'll be happy to die." Ling Xiulan clapped her hands and smiled: "By the way, as soon as I talk, I forgot about the business. I've packed Junjie and Zhen Zhen's new house, and I want to invite you both. Check it out."

Once Mrs. Li heard this, she stood up again, thinking about it and felt as if she didn't trust others, and suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly: "Can't we see it? Just do it."

Ling Xiulan couldn't help laughing. She stepped forward and took Mrs. Li's arm: "Oh, aunty, who are we and who, let me have a look."

Mr. Li couldn't hold back her joy: "Then I really went?"

"Really, I'll eat at my house at noon." Ling Xiulan grabbed Mrs. Li and grabbed Wang Sufen with the other hand: "Let's go, you can relax today too."

Wang Sufen looked down at the homely undershirt she was wearing, and looked at her a little embarrassedly: "Why don't I change clothes, this one is too casual."

"It's okay, I'm not an outsider. You wear the same clothes in my house at home, and come here as you feel comfortable. Anyway, my Lao Xi is not at home today, so we are the three Women's Army." Ling Xiulan dragged the two of them involuntarily. went out.

When I got to the yard, I happened to meet Li Muwu head-on, Wang Sufen said with a smile: "We will go to my in-law's house for dinner at noon, you can eat outside by yourself."

"Okay." Li Muwu looked like he was centered: "I just happen to be craving meat, so I will go to the barbecue season by myself at noon."

"There is money to burn." Wang Sufen laughed and scolded: "I am not afraid of getting angry in the summer."

Li Muwu looked back and saw the three of them leave the yard, and immediately returned to the house to open the box to get some money, ran out of the yard and locked the gate to the water and shouted to the fishermen: "Today The daughter-in-law is not at home, let's go to the barbecue season at noon."

"You only dare to go out to eat when your daughter-in-law is not at home." One person smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to a tooth-fighting ceremony together today."

**

Ling Xiulan led Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen to Xi Junjie's yard. When Mrs. Li saw that the window frames and doors were newly painted, she immediately closed her mouth with joy: "You too It's too careful, it looks like a new one has been picked up outside."

"It's easy to do outside, you can take a look inside." Ling Xiulan pushed open the door, and as soon as she entered, it was a bright hall, Mrs. Li went in and touched the chair, smacking her lips: "This is The furniture is amazing."

Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "The huanghuali of the Ming Dynasty, I think Zhen Zhen likes this kind of antiquities, so I bought a set."

"Ming Dynasty..." Mrs. Li was a little dizzy: "Is that a hundred or two hundred years?"

Ling Xiulan covered her mouth with joy: "At least three or four hundred years."

"Three or four hundred years." Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen widened their eyes and turned around the Huanghuali chair: "My darling, it has been preserved so well after all these years. , it looks like a good thing."

Glancing at the study, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen both went to the bedroom by coincidence. The furniture in the room is Feihuang brand solid wood furniture custom-made by Ling Xiulan from Zhenzhen's furniture factory, and the latest Tengda brand mattress is placed on the bed. There is a dressing table, a large wardrobe and a small sofa next to it. Mrs. Li looked at the group of wardrobes that were as big as a wall, and couldn't help but went forward and touched them: "It's the first time I've seen such a big wardrobe."

"There is also a lot of space inside." Ling Xiulan said: "The top layer can be put on bedding, the middle layer is for hanging clothes, and the big drawer below can also put clothes."

Once Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but open the cabinet door and saw two rows of clothes neatly placed inside. The one on the right was for men, from sweaters to shirts. Women's clothes, including skirts, wool coats and windbreakers, are not cheap brands at first glance.

"Yo, there are still clothes hanging here." Wang Sufen and Mrs. Li looked at each other and were a little confused.

Ling Xiulan immediately smiled and said: "I prepared this for Zhen Zhen, I went abroad to visit an old friend last month, and saw that the latest clothes of several brands are very good-looking, I am old I don’t dare to wear such fancy clothes anymore, our Zhen Zhen was the best time to look, so I bought all the ones I saw and gave them to Zhen Zhen.”

Mr. Li looked at the foreign words in the collar of the clothes, and couldn't help patting Ling Xiulan's hand: "You are too used to her, she hasn't said to honor your clothes, you give She buys so much."

I was thinking that if I gave birth to a daughter, I would make her look better than a doll. As a result, after I gave birth to Junjie, my stomach stopped moving. If I don’t hurry to buy more, it will be my dream back then.”

The faces of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are both happy, Zhen Zhen is the first girl in the family, and they are all in love with them. A little worried anyway. Seeing that Ling Xiulan thought so thoughtfully, and even prepared the clothes for the four seasons after marriage, the two felt relieved.

Ling Xiulan took a stool and took down the big red four-piece suit from the cabinet. Older people like Mrs. Li value red sheets the most, so they hurriedly came over and touched them: "What is the pattern?"

Ling Xiulan put it on the sheet and opened it for the two of them to see: "The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and I found an old master in Suzhou to embroider it one by one."

Mr. Li and Wang Sufen helped to stretch out the quilt and looked at the delicate embroidery pictures on it.

Wang Sufen couldn't help but thank you: "You think too well for them."

Ling Xiulan sighed: "Just this one child, getting married is the great event of a lifetime, so you shouldn't give them a good deal."

Mrs. Li folded the scattered quilt cover, Ling Xiulan put it back again, and Mrs. Li looked at the top layer not only with quilts, single quilts, but also wool blankets, summer cool quilts, etc. Yes, even seven or eight sets of bed sheets and quilts were prepared, and he suddenly asked dumbfoundedly: "You have the bed sheets and bedding ready, what should we prepare?"

"Prepare someone." Ling Xiulan said with a smile, "Bring your eldest girl to my house."

Mr. Li covered her chest when she heard this: "Oh, my heart hurts, I can't, I can't bear it."

Ling Xiulan couldn't straighten her back when she heard the words and laughs: "It's too late to bear, I'll be waiting for the day of the wedding."

When the two of them laughed enough, Ling Xiulan continued to lead the house, pushed open the door of the bathroom, and invited Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen to come in: "I made them an indoor bathroom, you see Look."

"Washing machine." Ling Xiulan said: "Throw the dirty clothes in, and they will be washed in a while without a drop of water, and they will dry after a while."

"Oh, this is the washing machine." Mrs. Li lifted the lid of the washing machine and looked inside: "Last time Zhen Zhen told me to buy a washing machine for her family, but her mother didn't let it."

"There are so many clothes now, and it doesn't take much effort to wash a piece of clothing after two days." Wang Sufen smiled honestly: "But now young people are different from us , they are too busy to sleep enough, it is good to have a machine to help them do their laundry."

Mr. Li stepped through the large glass sliding door and looked at the large bathtub inside. She couldn't help but look back at Ling Xiulan: "What is this big bathtub for?"

"To take a bath." Ling Xiulan turned on the faucet, and hot water flowed out: "Put a tub of hot water in it and lie down to relieve fatigue. The sprinkler above."

"Oh, this is too enjoyable." Mrs. Li's eyes were a little hot: "There are so many tricks in the bath, and the designated old man is comfortable."

Ling Xiulan immediately said: "If you want me to call the workman for you, I will also change a room for you."

Mr. Li's four sons and grandsons pay a lot of filial piety to the old lady every year, and the clothes of the four seasons are more than buying. Zhen Zhen is more generous to Mrs. Li. One thousand two thousand, in recent years, Mrs. Li has more and more private house money, but the place to spend it is very limited. I don’t need to buy vegetables outside. The vegetables grown in the garden in spring, summer and autumn are enough to eat. There is a greenhouse in winter, and there are more kinds of vegetables inside than those sold outside. There are a lot of chickens and ducks raised at home, and there are many fish, shrimp and crabs in the pond, so I go to the market every once in a while to buy some meat and ribs, and the rest basically don't cost money.

Ms. Li is not the kind of person who holds money and is reluctant to spend, especially now that she is old and knows how to enjoy it, she walked around the bathroom again, reached out and pressed the toilet, click He nodded and said, "Okay, go back and talk to the master, let him come to my house, and get a bathroom like this."

Ling Xiulan responded immediately: "You can rest assured, let him go to your house tomorrow."

"By the way, other than this one who cleans the bathroom, do you know the one who smashed the wall?" Mrs. Li asked seriously.

Ling Xiulan was a little confused: "Where are you going to hit the wall?"

It's better to open it directly, it's more convenient for us to talk."

Ling Xiulan was stunned: "Then how many of your grandchildren would be happy?"

"What's wrong, I wrote Zhen Zhen's name when I bought it." Mrs. Li said, "Now it's Zhen Zhen's fourth brother Ming Bei and his wife with two children. We live with us, but the two of them have been looking at the house for a while, and they said that they saw a small yard with five houses in front and a garden with an acre of land in the back, and they will move there when they graduate."

Wang Sufen also laughed and said: "It stands to reason that we should live with my eldest son, but we are used to living here, and we don't plan to move, you don't think we are dragging oil bottles. "

"What do you say, I will cry if you all move away." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "Our house is big, so many rooms are empty, and it will be lively when there are many people." Besides, I'm usually at home alone, and I don't know how boring it is to be away from you."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Then it's settled, then ask someone to smash the wall tomorrow."

The discussion at home was lively and lively, but Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen in the school did not give much thought to marriage at this time. After the graduation examination, the two began to prepare for work.

Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen are the first batch of college graduates to resume the college entrance examination. , Now just after graduating, reports from various units have been sent. Xi Junjie is going to work in the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Zhen Zhen has received a report from Hua Guo News Agency.

The furniture factory under the name of Zhen Zhen has become the largest furniture brand in China, but since the furniture factory has been on the right track, she has rarely participated in the factory, even the furniture design. Blocks also have a dedicated design workshop. In order to motivate the employees in the factory, Zhen Zhen gives out 10% of the bonus to employees every year, and 40% of the profit is used as Sun Rende's salary. Sun Rende is grateful to Zhen Zhen for the kindness he had received in the past, plus he has a strong interest in managing a company, so he can't wait to be in the factory 24 hours a day and work like a life-threatening job.

When Zhen Zhen reported her personal materials before graduation, she also reported the fact that she had a company under her name, but Hua Guoshe didn't seem to care about it, and still sent her a report letter . Zhen Zhen Ben also wanted to work as a reporter for the Huaguo Society for several years. One is to broaden her horizons and gain knowledge, and the other is to expand her network to pave the way for realizing her dream.

The two of them brought things home in large and small bags. They had to report to the unit after about a week of rest. After knowing that, Mrs. Li was very anxious: "Why are you rushing like this, you can't? Get married first and then go to work?"

Zhen Zhen smiled and shook her arm: "Honey, don't worry, I'm still waiting for Xi Junjie to propose to me."

"What is the proposal?" Mrs. Li was a little confused: "You mean let him come to propose marriage? Oh, it's so old, you still pay attention to this."

Wang Sufen also helped: "The walls of our house have been opened, why are we still coming to the door to ask for relatives, hurry up and say that you will get it someday, your three uncles and four uncles have to come from Hei Province, but Gotta call sooner."

Zhen Zhen pursed her lips and smiled: "I see, it will be settled in a few days, don't worry about it."

In fact, Xi Junjie has been secretly preparing for a marriage proposal these days. In order to have a surprise, Zhen Zhen deliberately took back her consciousness these days and refused to take a peek.

Seeing that the week of vacation was coming to an end, finally on the morning of the last day of the vacation, Xi Junjie blushed around the garden and ran to Zhen Zhen's door and knocked on the door. When she put it away, she didn't notice Xi Junjie coming. She opened the door in surprise and yawned, "What's the matter so early?"

Xi Junjie saw that Zhen Zhen was wearing pajamas, his eyes were lost, he tried his best to keep his eyes away, Xi Junjie quickly asked: "Can you go out with me today?"

"What are you doing?" Seeing a blush flashing across Xi Junjie's face, Zhen Zhen suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Are you ready to propose?"
