Chapter 258 Rebirth in the 70s 23
After moving to a new home, Jiayue arranged a housewarming party, which is now called a warm-home dinner. She cooked herself and invited Yin Zheng, Liu Shan, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Wu.
Mother Yin was not among them. After all, she didn't know her. Jiayue's current identity was just her son's colleague.
The host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. Of course, this meal also made Yin Zheng's thoughts clear.
Aunt Wu was not surprised. Yin Zheng had personally brought Jiayue to her house before. As an experienced person, she could see more.
The most surprised one was Aunt Liu. She was really surprised.
She was keeping an eye on her nephew's marriage. Jiayue was a good girl, but she was still young, so she wanted to wait two years before keeping an eye on her.
Yin Zheng fell in love with Jiayue, and she had never brought the two of them together before.
There was an age gap between them, and besides, Yin Zheng gave her a feeling of being too stable, which she always felt was not a good match. However, seeing that Yin Zheng was quite attentive, she didn't say anything.
She didn't have any prejudice against family background. Among her sisters in the Liu family, some married up and some married down. Among her relatives, some married up and some married down. They all had their own happiness and misfortune.
Being well matched does not necessarily mean happiness, nor does being unlucky mean being out of touch with family backgrounds.
She is open-minded.
After leaving Jiayue's house, Aunt Liu asked Yin Zheng: "Does your mother know about this?"
"I haven't told you yet, but my mother only has one requirement for her daughter-in-law, that she has to have a clean family background."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Jiayue is a good child, but her fate was not very good in the past few years. But now she has finally found her happy ending. Since you have the intention, then you should put more effort into it. If you have the intention, everything will come naturally."
"Second Aunt is right. I've learned my lesson."
Aunt Liu then looked at her son and said, "You were born in the same year as your cousin. Your cousin knows how to solve his own problems. You should also hurry up. I don't know what you are busy with all day long, and you are never home."
Liu Shan wanted to plug his ears. He really didn't plan to find someone to look after him right now.
He looked at Yoongi for help.
Yin Zheng turned a blind eye and shifted his gaze. He still needed his second aunt's help to prepare the groundwork in front of his mother!
Liu Shan's eyes began to turn resentful, causing Aunt Liu to glare at him: "What are you looking at?"
Liu Shan failed to ask for help and said helplessly: "Mom, don't rush me. Do you think I can be like my cousin and find a suitable partner right away? Take your time. Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like you don't have a grandson."
Aunt Liu: "How can you talk like that? Just because I have a grandson, you don't have to get married? You are talking nonsense every day, you are dreaming!"
"Yes, yes, I was dreaming! I was wrong. I was really wrong."
……
The mother and son started arguing as they talked, and Yin was listening nearby.
The new unit is less busy than before. Jiayue is mainly responsible for reception work. Given the current national conditions, even if she wants to work, there is not much work to do.
Basically, I work when there is work, and read the newspaper when there is no work to kill time. Of course, this is not called slacking off, this is called understanding current affairs.
Jiayue is satisfied with such a life, and this satisfaction comes from the fact that she has no higher pursuit of official career and power.
As for money, she did have some needs, but she had already stockpiled a lot of imperial green jadeite in her space, not to mention other jewelry, antiques, and collectibles...
In the future, even if she lies down for the rest of her life, she will still be rich.
Different from Jiayue's Buddhist mentality, Yin Zheng is extremely ambitious. It's not that Jiayue doesn't work seriously, but mainly because Yin Zheng is very good at finding work for himself.
Some people are successful for a reason.
Yin's father finally came home, and during dinner he suddenly asked Yin Zheng: "Did you catch up with the person?"
Yin Zheng didn't answer, but looked up at Mother Yin: "Mom, did Second Aunt tell you?"
Mother Yin smiled and said, "I've already told you that your second aunt said that girl is pretty good. When will she be brought back? I'd like to go see her, but I'm afraid she might be scared."
Yin Zheng: "I haven't caught up with her yet!"
Father Yin: "No ability."
Mother Yin followed up by saying, "A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. If you pay more attention, the girl will feel it and will be moved."
"Jiayue is only sixteen this year, there's no need to rush."
No matter how much he wants, he has to wait until people reach marriageable age!
Dad and Mom Yin didn't know Jiayue was so young, and they were both stunned.
Mother Yin said: "It's a little small."
Yin's father, on the other hand, was more open-minded: "Sixteen is not young anymore. Now that you've decided, get her and get engaged first to settle the status. This way, I won't have to worry about it, and your uncles won't have to think about introducing you to someone."
The environment was fine in the past. His daughter-in-law came from a good family. Life was hard back then and no one had any idea of privilege. But in today's environment, it is inevitable that one would be impetuous.
He heard about Jiayue's background. She was alone, had a clean family background, and had good personal abilities.
Such a candidate is more suitable for Yin Zheng than those girls with outstanding family backgrounds.
Yin Zheng was very tempted, but he still needed Jiayue's consent.
Now the two of them get along well and can even have a meal together from time to time. Jiayue's attitude towards him has obviously softened.
There were also people in the unit who pursued Jiayue, but they were all blocked by Yin Zheng, and Jiayue also acquiesced to his approach.
Yin Zheng felt that he needed to wait a little longer. After a while, the New Year atmosphere would begin to emerge. This was Jiayue’s first New Year in this era.
It really has a down-to-earth feel to it, the kind of lively atmosphere that starts in the twelfth lunar month that makes people immersed in it and unable to follow the crowd.
Jiayue also slowly started preparing the New Year's goods.
New Year!
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Jiayue got up and began to clean the house. Then she put up curtains and window decorations. It was good to be busy all by herself.
Yin Zheng came over after she had breakfast and brought her some New Year's goods, all of which were nutritious things.
Jiayue didn’t lack anything, but Yin Zheng didn’t know that she didn’t lack anything, and her heart was full of thought.
"Please keep the things. I can't accompany you for lunch. I have a date with friends tonight. Do you want to go out with me?"
He looked at Jiayue eagerly. This kind of look should not belong to her, but there was truth in his eyes, and Jiayue couldn't help but soften her heart.
"it is good."
Yin Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to see you in the evening."
"Well, wait a minute. I have prepared a lot of New Year's goods. You can take some back. I can't finish them all by myself."
After saying that, Jiayue went into the house and took out some semi-finished products she had made, all of which were made according to the imperial recipes.
Yin Zheng didn't refuse. He could feel that he was about to achieve his goal.
Yin Zheng took the New Year gifts Jiayue gave him back home, and Yin's mother casually asked: "Where did you get them?"
"Jiayue gave it to me."
Mother Yin smiled and looked at what it was. She was delighted when she saw it. She also had a keen eye and saw that they were all rare and good craftsmanship: "Are these all made by Jiayue herself?"
"Yes!"
"She is a clever girl, come and help her quickly. You should not just eat like this clever girl."
"I got it, Mom."
"Your eldest brother and second brother can't come back this year, so don't forget to go to the post office to mail them some things later. Don't forget to pick up your third brother on the afternoon train..." Mother Yin ordered her youngest son around without any mercy.
"Okay, I'll remember it!"
