Yin Peibai shook his head, "No more, the two of us discussed it, we’re borrowing money to buy a house. My mom and my brother are giving me fifteen hundred, and we’ve each borrowed a few hundred from our own friends and family. We have a few hundred ourselves. His parents gave us five hundred. It’s almost enough. We’re looking for a house now. Xiao Wan, the restaurant is booked at your place, you’d better save me some money there."
"Alright, leave the dishes to me. As long as the problem gets solved, it’s fine. It’s not someone else’s money we’re borrowing, it’s family money, so it’s easier to talk about. We’ll pay it back slowly later."
"Yeah, from now on, I can’t spend as lavishly."
Getting married is really different from being single, you realize how important your own little family is.
"Xiao Wan, when you sell clothes in the future, can you bring me along? I’ll sell with you; just give me a little for my hard work."
"Sure, I was just worried I didn’t have anyone to keep me company." When a good friend is in trouble, of course you lend a hand. It’s better for everyone to be happy than just one person.
There’s a one-day holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, we were supposed to visit relatives at my mother’s house. She lives next door, and we see each other daily. Mom said not to bring stuff home. Just come back for dinner tonight.
At noon, she’s going to Grandma’s house. Lin Wan went to the department store early in the morning, using the special ration tickets Han Yi left her, to buy three tins of malted milk, four catties of brown sugar, and four catties of mooncakes. On the way back, she bought five catties of eggs by the roadside, and when passing the fabric counter, she picked out some fabrics.
She’s planning to make a piece of clothing for each family member. Especially her brother, young men and women in love pay the most attention to appearance at this time. Her brother is already handsome, so with a little dressing up, he could definitely be the school heartthrob.
Lin Wan rode the tricycle, loaded with fruit wine, gifts, and so on, filling up almost a whole tricycle.
When passing Aunt Wu’s small shop, she specifically asked Aunt Wu for their home phone number, saying her own home had installed a phone, making it easier to contact here in the future.
Lin Wan also left their home phone number with Aunt Wu.
The fact that Lin Wan is moving out isn’t really a secret among the neighbors.
Seeing there are no conflicts or arguments in her family, they wouldn’t say anything outside either.
After all, that kid Han Yi is a nephew, so it’s normal for him to move out.
The newcomer Bo Xu, here, is also someone they watched grow up. The couple is nice. The wife is even more talkative than Han Yi’s wife.
Now, she spends her days with the children helping Aunt Han sell putty and manage the household, so the old lady doesn’t have to tire herself out.
Now which neighbor doesn’t praise her, all saying Aunt Han is blessed, with filial grandsons and nephews. All the young wives are good too.
Sitting around waiting to enjoy life at home.
When Lin Wan arrived, Mother-in-law and Uncle Hu were already there with Hu Dong. Hu Lijuan was at school and couldn’t make it back. Seeing Mother-in-law’s smile, you could tell their family was doing well after moving out.
Second Uncle’s family couldn’t make it back either, but Grandma said they called yesterday. They’d come back by the National Day holiday.
Lin Wan thought Big Aunt would be the last to arrive this time, but who would have thought she was already busy in the kitchen.
Grandma pulled her into the room for a chat, asking how she was doing living over there.
"My mom and them were worried about me, so they moved over too. Grandma, don’t worry, I’m doing great."
"That’s good. Has there been any word from Xiao Yi?"
"Sigh, why is it taking so long this time?" In previous years, even though they couldn’t come back, there would always be a message or a phone call.
"Grandma, didn’t you say no news is good news? It’s a holiday today, don’t think about random things. Han Yi should be back soon."
