Chapter 54 You call this marriage?

When Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu came back, they were surprised to see that Li Changhe was the only one at home.

"Why are you alone here? Where's Linlin?"

Shen Yuxiu asked Li Changhe curiously.

Normally, they stick together all the time. Moreover, today is Li Changhe's last day of college entrance examination and Zhu Lin is also taking a break, so he came early in the morning.

“Uh, she went home.”

Li Changhe said somewhat helplessly.

Seeing that Li Changhe looked a little guilty, Shen Yuxiu looked at her son suspiciously.

"You little brat, you won't bully her, will you?"

The boy is young and strong, and the two of them are alone at home, so it's hard to say.

"No, mom, what are you thinking about? She has something to do when she gets home."

Li Changhe hurriedly explained that bullying girls is a very serious crime these days.

He just tasted some imported candy in the afternoon and did nothing else.

Zhu Lin went home early, partly because Li Changhe loved sweet food too much, and it was difficult for the two of them to have a good conversation.

Another thing is that she also plans to go back and discuss marriage with her parents.

If she stayed at Li Changhe's house, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to withstand Li Changhe's excessive demands.

"It's actually a good thing, Mom. I plan to get married with Zhu Lin as soon as the admission letter comes out."

"She went back to discuss it with Uncle Zhu and Aunt Liu."

In order to clear himself of the "crime", Li Changhe hurriedly told his parents about his plan.

To be honest, he really had no idea how to hold a wedding in this era.
"Get the certificate?"

"That's good."

"You two should have gotten your marriage certificate a long time ago. It's been delayed for so long."

According to the thinking of Shen Yuxiu and her generation, if they meet a few times and see if they like each other, they can get married. There is no need to talk about friends.

Li Changhe expected his mother to continue speaking, but Shen Yuxiu stopped.

"Mom, continue?"

Li Changhe reminded helplessly.

"What continue?"

Shen Yuxiu was a little confused.

"I mean, there are no other procedures? For example, picking up the bride or something like that."

Li Changhe continued to remind.

Shen Yuxiu suddenly realized: "Of course I have this. On that day, I will buy you and Linlin a new set of clothes, take a photo, and then go to get the marriage certificate."

"We usually borrow a bicycle to pick up the bride. If it's far, we take the bus. The man will take his wife home."

"But you don't need a bicycle to go up and down the stairs here, so you can just go pick Linlin up on that day."

"Yes, people nowadays still pay attention to things like three turns and one sound, such as bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios, right?"

Shen Yuxiu said thoughtfully.

Li Changhe couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Except for the sewing machine, he had everything else at home.

There are not only radios, but also televisions.

The main reason why the sewing machine was not used was that Shen Yuxiu was an intellectual and didn't know how to do handmade fabric work.

"We already have these at home. I think we should just give them the money. When the time comes, take out 3,000 yuan and give them two of them. They can decide for themselves what they want to buy."

Li Lishan spoke at this time.

Li Changhe was speechless, as he knew that his parents had a large sum of money, which was compensation from those years, paid out as salary compensation.

Based on Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu's salary standards, after seven or eight years, the compensation for the two of them must have exceeded ten thousand.

As expected, men with money are generous and will offer three thousand as a gift when getting married.

"Forget about the money, I have it!"

Li Changhe is not short of money. He still has 4,000 yuan in his hand, although some of it has not been received yet.

"By the way, shall we invite guests, for example, any relatives or friends to come to the banquet?"

Li Changhe hesitated for a moment and asked, he didn't know if the tradition of eating banquets still existed in this era. Old Li's family didn't have many relatives and friends, and Li Lishan's family was separated in the war a few years ago, and he didn't know if they still existed.

He was later rescued by Li Changhe's grandfather's family, and seeing that Li Lishan had some education, they directly recruited him as their son-in-law.

However, Li Changhe's grandfather made it clear that he did not allow Li Lishan to be his son-in-law because he already had a son.

Then Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu supported each other all the way to get into university.

It was also because of the open-mindedness of Li Changhe’s grandfather that Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu were classified as poor peasants at the time, rather than rich peasants like the Shen family.

Because according to the policy at the time, the children of landlords and the bourgeoisie could be transferred to the corresponding family status if they married into middle- or lower-poor peasant families and worked for a year.

Shen Yuxiu and Li Lishan got married before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and she had already started working at that time. It was because of this condition that Li Changhe's family became cadres among poor peasants.

Even though Li Lishan and his wife were later forced to work as intellectuals, they were not the worst off, but rather were treated relatively well.

Li Changhe's grandparents died early, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He actually had two uncles, but one died heroically in the 1950s, and the other became a cadre, but he was also forced to work in recent years and no one knows where he went.

Because the Shen family was of average background and not poor peasants.

To be honest, at that time, it was good enough for each person to take care of himself, so how could he take care of others? The contact had been cut off long ago.

"What relatives are there? I don't even know where your second uncle's family is right now!"

Shen Yuxiu sighed and said helplessly.

Li Changhe pursed his lips and said nothing. If his second uncle and his family were still alive, they would most likely come back in the next two years, but he didn't know the specific circumstances.

He couldn't tell now.

"Let's wait and see. I think the wind direction is good now. There is a high probability that many people will come back. We will meet again one day."

Li Lishan comforted his wife at this time.

"As for the treat, let me discuss it with Lao Zhu. He has many relatives there."

"This was not popular in the past few years. We were all revolutionary comrades, so we just got a marriage certificate, took a photo, and the company distributed wedding candy, and that was it."

"But this year, let's wait and talk to Lao Zhu."

Li Lishan thought about it and said to Li Changhe.

"Row!"

Li Changhe nodded.

Great, just take a photo, get a certificate, and that’s it.

You call this marriage?

Think about how many people in later generations failed to negotiate a good gift before marriage, had quarrels during the wedding ceremony, and had to give 28888 before getting off the car.

Sure enough, wives in this era are still the best.

Women hold up half the sky, and that’s what we say.

At the same time, Zhu Lin's family upstairs were also talking about this.

When Liu Shuwan heard her daughter propose to get the marriage certificate with Zhu Lin after Li Changhe got the admission letter, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"This kid from the old Li family has quite a keen eye."

"Once you get the admission letter, you will be considered a college student candidate for cadre, so it won't be considered a loss of status when the time comes."

"But, can he pass the exam?"

"Mom, if he fails the exam, then no one in the whole capital will be able to pass it."

Zhu Lin was speechless. Why did her mother always hinder her at critical moments?

Liu Shuwan also felt that it was inappropriate for her to say this at this time, and was a little embarrassed: "I just said that."

"But what should we do about your wedding? It's hard to say which way the trend will go this year."

"How about we go downstairs and discuss it with Mr. and Mrs. Li? After we have discussed it, we can go to her grandfather and talk to him. What do you think?"

Professor Zhu spoke softly to Liu Shuwan.

Liu Shuwan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's discuss it together and see what to do."

Then the couple got up and walked downstairs.

Seeing this, Zhu Lin had no choice but to follow.

　This book is not purely entertainment. I wrote it before, I wrote the novel only because it was the only thing I could do this year, so, this is not the type of literary giant, nor is it the type that is completely immersed in the film and television industry. Don’t tell me this or that, my plot is not decided on the spur of the moment. As a full-time writer for more than ten years, I still know how to control the plot!
