All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 785 786. Mysterious Good News
After Yue Lingxuan made the decision, he may have figured out some things, and his attitude towards Lin Meijuan was no longer as cold as before, and the relationship between the two began to heat up rapidly.

After Yue Lingxuan visited Lin Meijuan's home, the relationship between the two became public, and the two families began to consider marriage.

After negotiation between the two parties, it was decided to hold the wedding for the two before the end of the year, and the specific date was tentatively chosen in the twelfth lunar month.

The eldest son's marriage was finally confirmed, and Yue Xuchu and his wife were of course very happy. However, the practical problems that they would face soon made them worried again.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted. Yue Xuchu said to his eldest son, "Ling Xuan, there is still half a year until the end of the year. Marriage is a lifelong event, so you should start preparing now.

Our family is not a wealthy one, but we will definitely prepare for you everything that others have when they get married.

Over the years, your mother and I have saved some money, so you don't have to worry about the expenses for your wedding. Even if you plan to buy a three-wheeler and a ring, we have enough money.

But you can’t buy the three-turn and one-ring with just money, you also need a ticket, which makes your mother and I feel embarrassed.

As parents, we will definitely do our best to make your wedding perfect, but after all, human ability is limited, and I can't guarantee that I can get all the tickets for you to buy three turns and one ring."

Yue Xuchu paused here, and seeing that his eldest son was still silent, he could only continue:

"I'm telling you about this today specifically to tell you our attitude. We will definitely try our best to do it, but we can't guarantee that we can get enough tickets for three turns and one ring."

Yue Lingxuan frowned and acted embarrassed, "Dad, you also know that Meijuan's family is well-off. Meijuan has already told me privately that her family will prepare a savings book of 500 yuan for her as a dowry.

Meijuan's family prepared such a generous dowry for her, so naturally they also had some requirements for our family.

The last time I went to Meijuan's house, her mother implied that she wanted our family to prepare all the three turns and one ring, and there had to be an explanation for the housing issue as well.

I was in a dilemma at the time and didn’t know how to answer her. ”

When the old couple heard their eldest son mention the housing issue, they became even more worried. Cong Qiuhui asked, "Did your superiors respond to your housing application some time ago?"

"The leader said there are too many young people like me in the company waiting for housing allocation and marriage, and many of them are married couples working in the factory.

Some people have applied for several years but still haven't received a house allocation.

For young people like me who have just started working, unless I make a significant contribution at work, it is impossible for me to get a house in the next few years. "

Yue Lingxuan was also distressed because the factory refused to allocate housing to him.

Cong Qiuhui was so worried about her son's housing problem after marriage that her hair turned white. She said with a sad face:

"You said you want to live in a separate house now, why is it so difficult? If you can't apply for housing at your workplace, then you can only squeeze into our house.

But our house is so small, where can I find a room for you?"

Yue Lingxuan looked up at his brother Yue Wenxuan, but he said nothing.

Although he didn't say a word, Yue Wenxuan understood what his look meant.

What can I do if I want to squeeze out a wedding room for my eldest son at home?
The house where his parents and his two younger sisters lived must not be moved, so Yue Wenxuan had to take the initiative to move out and give the room where the two brothers lived together to the eldest brother.

In fact, everyone in the family thinks so, but no one dares to say it out loud.

The parents didn't want to say this, fearing that it would hurt his feelings. The eldest child didn't want to say this either, because even if he didn't say it, someone would definitely say it.

In fact, Yue Wenxuan had already prepared to move out. It was not like he had no place to live. He could just move to the dormitory of the Red Star Department Store.

The Red Star Department Store has a total of six main rooms and four side rooms, and he can easily set aside one room for himself.

Although he has made this preparation, there is still half a year before the eldest brother's wedding, so he is not in a hurry to tell his plan.

It is precisely because Yue Wenxuan understood the boss's meaning that he would not so easily do as the boss wished.

He deliberately said: "Nowadays, housing is not private property, and it is mainly distributed by the work unit. Many people I know live in houses allocated by the woman.

My sister-in-law works in a pharmaceutical factory. The factory is very profitable and the housing is relatively spacious. I think I can let my sister-in-law apply for marriage housing. Maybe she can get it. "

If there was really no place to live at home, Yue Lingxuan would urge Lin Meijuan to apply for marriage housing without Yue Wenxuan's reminder.

But since his family could spare a room for him, he certainly didn't want to live in the wedding room assigned by his wife. If he did so, he would be suspected of being a live-in son-in-law and would definitely be ridiculed.

Besides, he is willing to live with his parents. If he has his parents to help him in life, he will definitely feel much more relaxed.

Not to mention other conveniences, just take the issue of food as an example. He lives with his parents, so he has a constant supply of meat and eggs. If he moves out, he doesn't have any tickets and has nowhere to buy food.

In order to stop Yue Wenxuan from thinking this, he said decisively: "Meijuan has already applied for it at the company, but her situation is the same as mine. She has just started working and does not have the conditions to get a separate room. If she wants to get a separate room, it will take a few years at most."

"It's really not easy for young people to live. It's so difficult to apply for a wedding house." Yue Wenxuan looked at his elder brother sympathetically, "No matter whether you two can apply for a wedding house from your company, you have to get married by the end of the year, but the wedding house is a practical problem that cannot be ignored."

Yue Wenxuan paused awkwardly, then suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve. As long as you don't care about the world's perspective, I think you should have a good choice."

"As your eldest brother, I am not a worldly person. Why should I care about worldly opinions? Tell me what ideas you have and I'll listen." Yue Lingxuan was very curious about what kind of suggestions his younger brother would give.

"Didn't my sister-in-law say that their family's housing conditions are very comfortable? They even have a dedicated study room.

I think you two can clean up that study room and use it as your wedding room.

Most people are hindered by worldly views and are afraid of being called a live-in son-in-law. So even if the housing conditions at his father-in-law's place are comfortable, they are unwilling to live there.

Since my elder brother is not a worldly person and doesn't want to cause trouble for our parents, I think this is the best choice. "Yue Lingxuan didn't expect that his good brother would come up with such a bad idea. Hearing this, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Fortunately, before he could figure out how to explain to Yue Wenxuan, Yue Xuchu glared at Yue Wenxuan and scolded him:
"What a stupid idea you are coming up with. People say your brother is a son-in-law who married into the family. Do you think it will be good for you as a brother?

Since it is our Yue family who is marrying a daughter-in-law, then he must live in our Yue family's house.

Don't worry about housing. Your mother and I will seriously consider it. If it doesn't work out, we can rent a house outside. After all, we still have half a year, so we will definitely be able to find a solution."

Yue Xuchu knew that the second son in his family was a smart and intelligent person. Since he did not take the initiative to give up the house, it meant that he was unwilling to do so.

The second son doesn't want to move out, and as a father he certainly can't kick him out of the house just to marry the eldest son off. He couldn't do such a thing.

Yue Wenxuan had already prepared to move out, but he just didn't want to tell the boss so early. It was enough to give the boss a cold shoulder today, so he didn't mention the matter anymore.

He continued, "If sister-in-law insists that our family prepare three turns and one ring, I do have a solution."

For any family, buying the four major items is a huge problem. Yue Wenxuan knew that his parents had no power or influence, but they were financially comfortable. He didn't want to embarrass his parents, so he could only let his eldest brother down.

Yue Lingxuan immediately smiled and asked quickly: "Wenxuan, what can you do? I know you are capable. This matter can stump others, but it certainly can't stump you."

"Have you forgotten where I work?" Yue Wenxuan turned his head and looked at his parents. "Our Red Star Department Store was originally called the Red Star Repair Department, specializing in repairing and assembling watches and radios."

After hearing what Yue Wenxuan said, the smile on Yue Lingxuan's face disappeared immediately, and he said disappointedly:

"Your maintenance department sells second-hand items that you assembled yourself. If they were normal items, it would be fine. Second-hand items can also be used. But this is something I'm going to use for my wedding. How can I buy second-hand items to make up for the lack? I have to buy new ones."

"If this happened a few years ago, you would have to reflect on what you said."

Yue Wenxuan's tone was a little stern, "No matter what time it is, the spirit of hard work and simplicity must not be lost. The revolutionary wedding of the new era should reflect the advanced thinking of the revolutionary youth.

What is advanced thought? Advocating frugality, hard work and simplicity, this is advanced thought. "

After being criticized by Yue Wenxuan, Yue Lingxuan suddenly didn't know what to say.

Yue Wenxuan slowed down his tone and said: "Besides, I am your brother, I will not fool you with those things that are 30% or 40% new. If I prepare them for you, I will definitely prepare those watches, radios and bicycles that are 80% or 90% new.

Such good things are hard to come by even in our department store, and you may not be able to find one in a month or two. I have to start saving them for you from now on.

In addition to sewing machines, I can also get you watches, bicycles, radios and other good things that are 80% to 90% new or even close to new.

Think about it carefully and don't wait until the time comes to embarrass me."

When Yue Lingxuan heard Yue Wenxuan say that he could prepare something that was 80% to 90% new or even brand new for him, he was actually a little tempted.

Yue Lingxuan knew his parents' personalities very well. Although their salaries were not low, they were just ordinary employees in their respective units. With their noble personalities, asking them to beg for help was really a bit too much of a burden for them.

He felt that it would be good enough for his parents to get one or two tickets for the three turns and one ring, and it was impossible to get all four tickets.

Marriage is a lifelong event, so he certainly doesn't want to get some second-hand stuff to make up for it, but having something is better than nothing.

If the second brother can really get the four major items that are 80% to 90% new or even brand new, as long as they don't advertise it to others, others may not know that they are second-hand items.

As long as he doesn't get exposed and lose face, he can still accept it.

After figuring this out, Yue Lingxuan simply took the initiative to say: "It is true that I am narrow-minded. Now that I think about it, what Wenxuan said makes sense.

The burden on the family is already heavy enough. As the eldest brother in the family, I should take the lead and think about reducing the burden on the family in all aspects.

Since Wenxuan can get the three major second-hand items other than the sewing machine, I will entrust the watch, radio and bicycle to Wenxuan.

It would be best if we could get the three major items that are close to new. That way we can advertise them as new items. No one else will know about them anyway, and your sister-in-law will look better that way.”

"No problem. The three major items sold by the maintenance department must go through my hands first. I will definitely keep the best ones." Yue Wenxuan agreed readily.

There are only two things that are most difficult for Yue Xuchu and his wife. The first is the issue of the wedding house, and the second is the issue of purchasing the four major items.

Although the issue of the wedding house has not yet been resolved, being able to settle the four major items in advance is enough to surprise the two of them.

Yue Xuchu said: "Wenxuan is smart, this is a good suggestion. If it's just a ticket, I think it shouldn't be a big problem. If it doesn't work, just pay more money. It's just a ticket, you can get it anyway."

At any time, marriage is a major event for two families. Once the wedding date is set, both parties have to prepare for it in a hurry.

Because you need a ticket to buy anything, you can't be impatient when buying things. You have to stretch out the process so that you can save up all kinds of tickets bit by bit.

After entering August, Yue Wenxuan began to consider what reason he should use to tell his family the news that he might receive the college entrance examination result, so that his sister and others could enter the intensive review period.

Learning requires initiative. If the person does not have a strong desire to learn, even if he urges others, it will not have much effect. Only when the family believes that the college entrance examination will definitely be restored, and the person is willing to study on his own, can he be efficient.

Before he even mentioned the matter, Yue Xuchu heard the news first.

When he returned home in the afternoon, Yue Xuchu still had a smile on his face, and one could tell at a glance that he was in a good mood.

After entering, he couldn't wait to invite the whole family to sit down in the living room, and lowered his voice and said, "I just heard some good news, you will never guess what it is."
