Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:

Although Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen still haven't set a wedding date due to their proposal, the two adults have already started preparations in full swing. Ling Xiulan usually likes to visit Lao Li's house when she has nothing to do, and Zhen Zhen often comes to sit in her house when she is at home. Seeing that Zhen Zhen likes more classical furniture, she specially asked someone to buy a set of Ming Dynasty furniture from Huanghuali. Very nice, the whole set of furniture can't even see a single bump.

The walls were all painted, the face was five rooms wide, the table and chairs were placed in the bright room as the living room, and there were secondary rooms and a small room on the left and right. Ling Xiulan asked someone to open up the left room and the left room for the two of them. As a study room, he did not forget to provide Zhen Zhen with a large table for painting, pen, ink, paper and inkstone and other small things. The eastern room is a bedroom for two people, with a sewer pipe added to make it waterproof. The innermost is a glass bathroom, and the huge bathtub is sent back from abroad by Ling Xiulan's friend, which is enough for two people to use at the same time. , A toilet and washbasin are installed outside the glass door, and the outermost is a shelf and a washing machine.

The left and right wing rooms were also cleaned up again, and Ling Xiulan moved all the things she used before and put them in the empty room. The wing room was repainted and renovated into a children's room for future grandchildren or granddaughters.

Ling Xiulan has been busy with this matter since New Year's Eve, and when it is completely cleaned up, it has already arrived in June. She asked the nanny to wipe the house clean. Ling Xiulan carried a basket of fresh fruits and prepared to go to the next door to invite Mrs. Li Come and see the new house with Wang Sufen.

Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are watching TV at home. The small black and white TV that Li Muwen sent has been eliminated. Now it may be the color TV that Zhen Zhen bought for Mrs. Li. Since Mrs. Li got this color TV, she turned on the TV as soon as she woke up in the morning. She went around the garden in the morning and then watched the TV stop playing. But Wang Sufen was worried, for fear that Mrs. Li watched too much TV. I broke my eyes.

Ling Xiulan led the fruit into the house with familiarity. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled: "Auntie, I'm watching TV again."

Old Mrs. Li put the melon seeds aside, stood up and squinted her eyes with a smile: "It's so good, you can see old movies from the past, and there are even operas in them."

Wang Sufen poured a cup of tea for Ling Xiulan, washed a plate of cherries and put them on the table beside Ling Xiulan: "The cherry tree in my home is big and sweet, you can try it."

Ling Xiulan sat down and took a cherry and put it in her mouth. As soon as her teeth touched the skin of the cherry, a stream of sweet water sprayed into her mouth. Ling Xiulan narrowed her eyes and praised her: "It's so sweet, Auntie, I I found that no matter what kind of fruit you grow in your house, it is very delicious.”

Old Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "This is true, to tell you the truth, we Zhen Zhen are very talented in planting, and we are also planting fruit trees. It tastes better than others."

"The flowers that Zhen Zhen planted are also good." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "I have so many flowers that I usually look at, but every time Zhen Zhen goes over to water them, the flowers will return the next day. It's big and watery, just like the nectar she poured."

Old Mrs. Li laughed loudly: "When Zhen Zhen gets married, I guarantee that your flowers will bloom every day for twelve months and a year."

"Then I'll be happy to die." Ling Xiulan clapped her hands and said with a smile, "By the way, as soon as I talk, I forgot about my business. I've packed Junjie and Zhen Zhen's new house, and I want to invite you to come and take a look."

Once Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately stood up again. After thinking about it, she felt as if she didn't trust others. She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Can't we take a look? You can just clean up."

Ling Xiulan couldn't help laughing. She stepped forward and took Mrs. Li's arm: "Oh, auntie, who are we and who, let's have a look."

Mr. Li couldn't hold back her joy: "Then I really went?"

"Really, I'll have dinner at my house at noon." Ling Xiulan grabbed Mrs. Li and grabbed Wang Sufen with the other hand: "Let's go, let's relax today."

Wang Sufen looked down at the homely undershirt she was wearing, and looked at her a little embarrassedly: "Why don't I change clothes, this one is too casual."

"It's okay, I'm not an outsider. You can dress as you would at my house, and come here if you're comfortable. Anyway, my Lao Xi is not at home today, so it's just the three women's army." Ling Xiulan dragged the two of them out without any explanation.

When I got to the yard, I happened to meet Li Muwu head-on. Wang Sufen said with a smile: "We will go to my in-law's house for dinner at noon. You can eat outside by yourself."

"Okay." Li Muwu looked like he was in the middle of his arms: "I just happen to be craving meat. I will go to the barbecue season by myself at noon."

"You have money to burn." Wang Sufen laughed and scolded: "I'm not afraid of getting angry in summer."

Li Muwu looked back and saw the three of them leave the yard. He immediately went back to the house and opened the box to get some money. He ran out of the yard and locked the gate. Let's go to barbecue season."

"You only dare to go out to eat when your daughter-in-law is not at home." One person said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the toothbrush today."

"Then hurry." Li Muwu urged: "Everyone go home and put the fishing rod, and I will treat you at noon."

**

Ling Xiulan led Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen to Xi Junjie's yard. When Mrs. Li saw that the window frames and doors were newly painted, she immediately closed her mouth with joy: "You are too careful, even It looks like a new one picked up outside."

"It's easy to do outside, you can look inside." Ling Xiulan pushed open the door, and as soon as she entered, there was a bright hall. Madam Li went in and touched the chair, smacking her lips: "This furniture is strangely beautiful. ."

Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "Huanghuali from the Ming Dynasty, I think Zhen Zhen likes this kind of antiquities, so I picked them up specially."

"Ming Dynasty..." Mrs. Li was a little dizzy: "Is that a hundred or two hundred years?"

Ling Xiulan covered her mouth with joy: "At least three or four hundred years."

"Three or four hundred years." Madam Li and Wang Sufen widened their eyes and turned around the Huanghuali chair: "My darling, it's been preserved so well after all these years, it looks good at first glance. stuff."

Glancing at the study, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen both walked to the bedroom in unison. The furniture in the room is Feihuang brand solid wood furniture custom-made by Ling Xiulan from Zhenzhen's furniture factory, and the latest Tengda brand mattress is placed on the bed. There is a dressing table, a large wardrobe and a small sofa next to it. Madam Li looked at the set of wardrobes that were as big as one wall, and couldn't help but touch her: "It's the first time I've seen such a big wardrobe."

"There is also a lot of space inside." Ling Xiulan said: "The top layer can be used for quilts, the middle layer is for hanging clothes, and the bottom drawer can also store clothes."

Once Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but open the cabinet door. She saw two rows of clothes neatly arranged inside. Skirts, wool coats and windbreakers are not cheap brands at first glance.

"Yo, there are still clothes hanging here." Wang Sufen and Mrs. Li looked at each other, both dazed.

Ling Xiulan immediately smiled and said, "I prepared this for Zhen Zhen. I went abroad to visit an old friend last month, and I saw that the latest clothes from several brands are very beautiful. I don't dare to wear such clothes when I am old. It's fancy, our Zhen Zhen is the best time to look, so I bought all the pictures I saw and gave them to Zhen Zhen."

Mr. Li looked at the foreign characters on the collar of the clothes, and couldn't help patting Ling Xiulan's hand: "You are too used to her, she hasn't said that she is honoring your clothes, but you bought her so much. "

"My child doesn't talk about that kind of nonsense. In my eyes, she is just like a kiss girl." Ling Xiulan smiled and covered her mouth: "I saw those beautiful dolls abroad when I was young, and I wondered if When I gave birth to a daughter, I decided to dress her up better than a doll. As a result, after I gave birth to Junjie, my stomach stopped moving. After so many years, I finally hoped to come back with such a beautiful daughter-in-law. I will not hurry to buy more. It's a dream come true."

The faces of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are both happy, Zhen Zhen is the first girl in the family, they are both doted on the top of their hearts, no matter how close they are to home when they get married, they are someone else's home, so I'm always a little worried. Seeing that Ling Xiulan thought so thoughtfully, and even prepared the clothes for the four seasons after marriage, the two felt relieved.

Ling Xiulan took a stool and took down the big red four-piece suit from the cabinet. Older people like Mrs. Li value red sheets the most, so they hurriedly came over and touched: "What pattern is it?"

Ling Xiulan put it on the bed sheet and opened it for the two of them to see: "The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and I found an old master in Suzhou to embroider it one by one."

Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen helped to stretch out the quilt and looked at the delicate embroidery pictures on it.

"Almost a year." Ling Xiulan said, "I made an order last year, and I just got it back."

Wang Sufen couldn't help but thank you: "You think too well for them."

Ling Xiulan sighed: "Just this one child, getting married is the great event of a lifetime, so you shouldn't give them a good deal."

Mrs. Li folded the scattered quilts, and Ling Xiulan put them back. Madam Li looked at the top layer not only with quilts, single quilts, but also wool blankets, summer quilts, etc., even the sheets and quilts. After preparing seven or eight sets, he suddenly asked dumbfoundedly: "You have prepared the sheets and bedding, what should we prepare?"

"Prepare someone." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "Bring your eldest girl to my house."

The old lady Li covered her chest when she heard it: "Oh, my heart hurts, I can't, I can't bear it."

Ling Xiulan couldn't straighten her back when she heard the words and laughed: "It's too late, I'm just waiting for the day of the wedding."

When the two of them laughed enough, Ling Xiulan continued to lead the house, pushed open the door of the bathroom, and invited Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen to come in to see: "I made an indoor bathroom for them, you can take a look."

"You wash your hands." Mrs. Li had never heard such a foreign-style statement. As soon as she entered, she was attracted by the washing machine: "What is this?"

"Washing machine." Ling Xiulan said: "Put the dirty clothes in, and they will be washed in a while without a drop of water, and they will dry after a while outside."

"Oh, this is the washing machine." Mrs. Li lifted the lid of the washing machine and looked inside: "Last time Zhen Zhen told me to buy a washing machine for her family, but her mother didn't let me."

"There are so many clothes now, and it doesn't take much effort to wash a piece of clothing after two days of wearing it." Wang Sufen smiled honestly: "But today's young people are different from us, they are busy sleeping. They don't get enough sleep, so it's nice to have a machine to do their laundry."

Mr. Li stepped through the large glass sliding door and looked at the large bathtub inside. She couldn't help but look back at Ling Xiulan: "What is this big bathtub for?"

"To take a bath." Ling Xiulan turned on the faucet, and hot water flowed out: "Put a tub of hot water and lie down in it to relieve fatigue. If you don't want to take a bath and stand to wash, just use the nozzle above."

"Oh, this is too enjoyable." Mrs. Li's eyes were a little hot: "There are so many tricks in the bath, and the designated old man is comfortable."

Ling Xiulan immediately said: "If you want me to call the work master for you, I will also give you another room."

Mr. Li's four sons and grandchildren pay a lot of filial piety to the old lady every year, and the clothes of the four seasons are more expensive than buying clothes. Zhen Zhen is more generous to Mrs. Li. , In recent years, Mrs. Li has more and more private house money, but the place to spend it is very limited. I don’t need to buy vegetables outside. The vegetables grown in the garden in spring, summer and autumn are enough to eat. There is a greenhouse in winter, and there are more kinds of vegetables inside than those sold outside. There are a lot of chickens and ducks raised at home, and there are many fish, shrimp and crabs in the pond, so I go to the market every once in a while to buy some meat and ribs, and the rest basically don't cost money.

Ms. Li is not the kind of person who holds money and is reluctant to spend it, especially now that she is older and knows how to enjoy it. She walked around the bathroom again, reached out and pressed the toilet, nodded and said: " All right, talk to the master and let him come to my house and get a restroom like this."

Ling Xiulan responded immediately: "You can rest assured, let him go to your house tomorrow."

"By the way, apart from this one who cleans the bathroom, do you know the one who smashed the wall?" Mrs. Li asked seriously.

Ling Xiulan was a little confused: "Where are you going to hit the wall?"

"It's just a few walls that were added to our two courtyards later." Mrs. Li made a gesture: "The house we live in belongs to Zhen Zhen, and when she and Junjie get married, it will be a family, so why not open it directly, It's more convenient for us to talk."

Ling Xiulan was stunned: "Then how many of your grandchildren would be happy?"

"What's wrong with me, I wrote the name of Zhen Zhen when I bought it." Mrs. Li said, "Now it's Zhen Zhen's fourth brother, Ming Bei and his wife, who live with us with their two children. However, the two of them have been looking at the house for a while, and said that they saw a small yard, five houses in front, and a garden with an acre of land in the back, and they will move there when they graduate."

Wang Sufen also laughed and said, "It stands to reason that we should live with my eldest son, but we are used to living here, and we don't plan to move. Don't think that we are dragging oil bottles."

"What do you say, I'll cry if you guys move away." Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "Our house is big, so many rooms are empty, and it will be lively when there are more people. Usually alone at home, I don't know how boring it is to be away from you."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Then it's settled, then I will call someone to smash the wall tomorrow."

The discussion at home was lively and lively, but Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen in school did not give much thought to their marriage at this time. After the graduation exam, the two began to prepare for work.

Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen are the first batch of college graduates to resume the college entrance examination. Their gold content is not comparable to that of the former Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. They were booked by various departments of the country when they were in school. , the report letters from various units were sent, Xi Junjie was going to work in the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Zhen Zhen received the report notice from the Huaguo News Agency.

The furniture factory under Zhen Zhen's name has become the largest furniture brand in China, but since the furniture factory has been on the right track, she has rarely participated in the factory's affairs, even the furniture design has a special Design workshop. In order to motivate the employees in the factory, Zhen Zhen gives out 10% of the bonus to employees every year, and 40% of the profit is used as Sun Rende's salary. Sun Rende is grateful to Zhen Zhen for the kindness he had received in the past, plus he has a strong interest in managing a company, so he can't wait to be in the factory 24 hours a day and work like a life-threatening job.

When Zhen Zhen reported her personal materials before graduation, she also reported the fact that she had a company under her name, but the Huaguo News Agency didn't seem to care about it and still sent her a report letter. Zhen Zhen Ben also wanted to work as a reporter for the Huaguo Society for several years. One is to broaden her horizons and gain knowledge, and the other is to expand her network to pave the way for realizing her dream.

The two of them brought things home in large and small packages, and they had to report to the unit after about a week of rest. When Mrs. Li found out, she was very anxious: "Why are you in such a hurry, you can't get married first. work?"

Zhen Zhen smiled and shook her arm: "Honey, don't worry, I'm still waiting for Xi Junjie to propose to me."

"What marriage proposal?" Mrs. Li was a little confused: "You mean let him come to propose marriage? Oh, it's all over the years, you still pay attention to this."

Wang Sufen also followed along: "Our house wall has been opened, and we still come to the door to ask for relatives, hurry up and say that one day you will get it, your three uncles and four uncles have to come from Hei Province, but you have to call early. "

Zhen Zhen pursed her lips and smiled: "I know, it will be settled in a few days, don't worry about it."

Actually, Xi Junjie has been secretly preparing for a marriage proposal these days. In order to have a surprise, Zhen Zhen has deliberately taken back her consciousness these days and is determined not to take a peek.

Seeing that a week's vacation is coming to an end, finally on the morning of the last day of the vacation, Xi Junjie blushed around the garden and ran to Zhen Zhen's door and knocked on the door, Zhen Zhen was all put away because of her consciousness. Not realizing that Xi Junjie was coming, she opened the door in surprise and yawned, "What's the matter so early?"

Xi Junjie saw that Zhen Zhen was wearing pajamas, and his eyes were suddenly lost. He tried his best to look away. Xi Junjie quickly asked: "Can you go out with me today?"

"What are you doing?" Zhen Zhen saw a blush on Xi Junjie's face, her eyes widened immediately: "Are you ready to propose?"
