Chapter 4 The little daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law
At noon the next day, a luxury car parked at the entrance of the village.
While Widow Wang and others looked at her in surprise, Yuan Qianyun took Lin Wanjun's hand and walked out of the car.
The luxury car drove away, and the two of them arrived at Lin Ran's home holding hands.
"Qianyun, you're here!" Mother Lin was washing vegetables in the yard. When she saw Yuan Qianyun, she quickly called her in.
"Hello, aunt." Yuan Qianyun greeted obediently.
"Wanjun, your friend is coming, why didn't you tell me in advance." Mother Lin liked Yuan Qianyun in every possible way. She also thought about her as her future daughter-in-law, and of course she didn't want to treat her badly.
In fact, Lin Wanjun also felt a little surprised why she suddenly wanted to come to her home for dinner today.
Lin Ran is also resting at home today.
"It's okay, Auntie, is Lin Ran at home?" Yuan Qianyun asked.
"Xiaoran is here." Mother Lin replied, but she felt a little strange.
The early 1980s was still a conservative era, and girls rarely played with boys unless they were lovers.
But Lin Wanjun saw the clues, and said to Mother Lin: "Mom, let's go to the market to buy some delicious food, and let Xiaoran entertain her."
Mother Lin didn't realize what was going on, but when she saw Yuan Qianyun, she immediately put on a smile.
She shouted into the house: "Xiaoran, come out and greet Qianyun. Mom is going to the market to buy a chicken." She smiled and said to Yuan Qianyun, "Our family is all about farm food. I don't know if it suits my taste."
"Auntie, no need..." Yuan Qianyun wanted to persuade her not to waste a lot of time. After all, she was tired of eating big fish and meat, and she had to deliberately control her diet.
But Lin Wanjun pulled her: "It's okay. It's a rare occasion for you to come here. It's good to have a change of taste."
Mother Lin threw the vegetables in the basin directly on the ground, wiped the water on her clothes, and walked directly out of the yard.
Considering that it was Lin Wanjun and Lin's mother's wishes, she didn't refuse. Instead, she felt moved in her heart.
"Unlike the vegetables you usually eat, our vegetables have very little oil and will not make you gain weight." Lin Wanjun said.
The two mother and daughter left, and Lin Ran also came down from upstairs.
At this time, Lin's father was working in the fields, and only Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun were left at home.
Lin Ran invited her to his room, and then dragged her out of the collection under the bed.
Seeing so many collections, Yuan Qianyun was stunned.
"What is this?" She had seen many other cultural relics, but this was the first time she saw a bronze robot dog.
If it hadn't been collected by Lin Ran, she would have thought it was a child's toy.
"The specific year is unknown, but it should be a cultural relic from the late Neolithic Age to the early Shang Dynasty."
Sanxingdui has not yet been unearthed, and Lin Ran cannot explain the specific source.
"So long ago?" Yuan Qianyun was stunned. The earliest cultural relics he saw were from the Zhou Dynasty. How could he still see cultural relics from the late Stone Age?
"Actually, there are still many unsolved mysteries in Chinese civilization." Lin Ran leaned on the bed and looked at the ceiling with emotion.
When I stay with Yuan Qianyun, I feel a sense of intimacy and don't feel restricted at all.
He was also thinking in his mind that in the late Stone Age, when people in other countries were still in the wilderness, China had established the Xia Dynasty and formed a unique writing system, thus starting the inheritance of civilization.
The two discussed their views on history for a while. Yuan Qianyun was also very interested in history, especially Lin Ran's ability to vividly describe the stories behind the cultural relics.
After all, explaining was one of Lin Ran's jobs in his previous life, but he hadn't done it in actual combat for a long time.
Yuan Qianyun on the side listened in rapt attention.
A man and a woman were alone in the same room. In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Ran did not close the door.
Mother Lin was worried about scaring them by shouting suddenly, so she knocked on the door to attract their attention.
"It's time to eat!" She just said, turned around and went downstairs.
When we came to the living room, although it was not a special holiday, the food was extremely sumptuous.
Father Lin was already sitting in the main seat with a cheerful face, looking at Yuan Qianyun with a smile.
Yuan Qianyun felt a little embarrassed and sat down next to Lin Ran.
"Xiaoran, entertain Qianyun well." Mother Lin told Lin Ran who had just come downstairs.
"I know, Mom." Lin Ran came to the kitchen, took out the bowls and chopsticks, and took the initiative to serve Yuan Qianyun a bowl of chicken soup.
"It tastes good!" Yuan Qianyun's eyes lit up.
The chicken soup she usually drinks is too salty, but she didn't expect that the light chicken soup tastes so good.
"As long as it tastes good." Mother Lin smiled broadly, "If you like it, you will drink it every day from now on!"
"Yes! Thank you, auntie!" Yuan Qianyun nodded obediently.
"Yes, you have to come every day." Lin Wanjun was also sipping chicken soup.
Life at home is gradually getting better, but my parents still maintain the habit of thrift.
"You really dare to say that." Lin Ran joked to Lin Wanjun from the side, "Sister, you are just greedy."
"You don't need to worry about it." Lin Wanjun rolled her eyes at him.
Yuan Qianyun saw the relaxed atmosphere in their home and covered his mouth and snickered.
"Uncle and aunt, your food is so delicious."
Seeing how sensible Yuan Qianyun was, their smiles became even more obvious.
They have already decided in their hearts that this beautiful girl is their daughter-in-law.
Although the two of them acted very shy, it was obvious that Yuan Qianyun came to Lin Ran specifically today.
Now the family's new house is ready. Although they don't know about Lin Ran opening a store, in their minds, Lin Ran also has a stable job.
It’s time to start a family and start a business!
"Next time you come to my house, I will cook some dishes for you to eat." Lin Ran said to Yuan Qianyun.
"Can you cook?" Lin Wanjun's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"Of course, I'll show Qianyun my skills next time." Lin Ran has lived alone for a long time, how could he not even know how to cook?
But Lin Wanjun smiled. She felt that her brother was just showing off to Yuan Qianyun.
"Sister Wanjun, don't you eat chicken?" Yuan Qianyun discovered that Lin Wanjun only drank soup but did not eat meat.
Lin Wanjun said with a slight distress: "The company provides lunch, which is a lot of oil. I have gained some weight recently."
Father Lin smiled and said, "You would be more beautiful if you were fatter."
"No, it's not the Tang Dynasty anymore." Lin Wanjun sighed.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Qianyun ate quickly because he didn't drink.
"Qianyun, you can stay at my house to play this afternoon." Lin Wanjun looked at Lin Ran with a wicked smile.
Staying at home would create more opportunities for Lin Ran to be alone.
Of course Yuan Qianyun knew what Lin Wanjun meant and couldn't help but blush.
She said hurriedly: "No, there are guests at home tonight, and I have to go back early to make preparations."
"Okay, let's eat some more." After finishing the meal, Mother Lin was still picking up food for her.
Originally, she was particularly fond of this beautiful little girl and only regarded her as Wanjun's friend.
Seeing that she is going to be his daughter-in-law, it becomes more and more pleasing to the eye.
This meal has been delayed for a long time.
After eating, Lin Ran decided to accompany Yuan Qianyun back to the city.
The two of them were going to take a bus to the village entrance.
On the way, Yuan Qianyun asked: "Lin Ran, thank you for your gift."
She took out the Dzi beads around her neck and put them on.
"As long as you like it. There are definitely no more than a hundred natural six-eyed Dzi beads in the world. You have to protect it."
"So precious?" Yuan Qianyun was surprised. She thought it would cost a few hundred yuan at most, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. "It's too expensive. You should keep it for yourself."
There are only ten of them in the world, and they sell for tens of thousands, and there are many people willing to buy them.
She was just about to find an excuse to give it back to Lin Ran, but she saw Lin Ran rolling up his sleeves.
On her wrist, she was wearing the amulet that Yuan Qianyun had given her.
Yuan Qianyun's eyes lit up and he felt very moved.
The country road was unusually quiet at noon.
She leaned gently on Lin Ran's shoulder and felt a burst of happiness.
"Do you know why I agreed to let you come to dinner today?"
"Why?" Lin Ran didn't think it was because of money.
"Tell me first, how did you know that I like orchids?"
