"Is tomorrow convenient? How about I come to your house, and the day after, I’ll go back to the unit to submit the marriage report."
He’s really a go-getter, acting so efficiently, agreeing one second and taking action the next.
Speaking of her family, Lin Wan quickly shook her head. She wasn’t sure if Mom would agree to let her get married, "I need to go back and talk to Mom about this first."
Han Yi nodded silently, understanding Lin Wan, "Okay, I’ll go and submit the marriage report first, and once it’s approved, I’ll come find you. Give me your specific address, and I’ll help you with the introduction letter."
At this moment, he really couldn’t afford to think about the bigger picture and needed to get the certificate first. If her family disapproved, they couldn’t blame him.
"Okay..." Lin Wan was so happy she was almost floating, not knowing the man’s plan.
"Where are you going? I’ll take you."
"No... no need, you have things to do, so focus on your work."
"We’re getting married soon, we need to get to know each other, today I’m just free."
Since it was a day off, Han Yi didn’t drive; Lin Wan took him on the bus heading to the suburbs. On the bus, Lin Wan told him that she had opened a winery with her friends in the suburbs.
"Our family is in business, do you have..." Lin Wan hadn’t finished her sentence before Han Yi interrupted, "When we met, I knew, I have no objections."
Han Yi also asked about Lin Wan’s household registration and date of birth. These were needed for the marriage report.
"My conditions qualify me to bring along family members, though currently the military district’s conditions are tough, there are family housing units. The unit’s leadership said they’re planning to build houses. When the time comes, I’ll apply for an apartment, and you can occasionally come over to have a look." As Han Yi spoke, his face slightly flushed.
"Sure." Lin Wan lowered her head, making it hard for the tall Han Yi to see her expression at that moment; he didn’t know Lin Wan’s smile was about to reach the heavens.
The two chatted along the way, and they soon arrived at the destination.
Lin Wan saw Han Yi without the intention to go in and didn’t insist, given that Brother was inside at the moment, she feared bringing Han Yi in might upset him.
"Wait, let me go in for a bit." Lin Wan said and ran into the yard quickly. Shortly after, she brought out a few bottles of wine, taking two of each kind, and handed them to Han Yi, "These are all made by me; take them and let your comrades have a taste."
"Thanks... I’ll be going." Han Yi looked at the wine in Lin Wan’s hand, hesitated for a moment, and eventually Lin Wan pushed them into his hand. Han Yi felt somewhat awkward, lightly coughed to cover his flushed face.
"...Take care on your way."
After sending off Han Yi, Lin Wan went inside and touched her flushed cheeks with both hands. After a while, she calmed her excitement, recorded the wine she had just taken out, and calculated the cost to put the money into a prepared box.
"Brother, is there wine ready today?" Lin Wan asked when she arrived at the machine room, where her brother was busy capping bottles.
Lin Yinghui looked up at Lin Wan, "Yes, today should result in a few hundred bottles."
Lin Yinghui was excited about the business that came to the factory and busy shipping, not noticing his sister’s unusual behavior. Lin Wan sat nearby with a smile, in a good mood, helping her brother cap bottles.
While the siblings were busily working without pause, Li Congnan returned with joy, "Lin, today I sent out over ten boxes. My regular customer took a wedding order, needing more than ten boxes of mulberry red wine." This was their largest sale since opening.
"That’s great, it’d be wonderful to have such big orders regularly. Brother, shall we hire a couple of people? You and Brother Li could actively engage with the distribution centers and state-run hotels."
"Would hiring people risk stealing our recipe?" The fruit wine recipe is very simple; they’d easily figure it out.
