Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 147 A Family Dinner of Significance to Life (Subscription plus additional chapters)

When the meal was halfway through, Zhu Lin's parents arrived.

Knowing that today's meal was very important, the two even washed up and changed into a new set of clothes that they rarely wore on weekdays.

It looked like attending a very important academic lecture.

When they arrived at Fang's house, they found that Fang Yan's parents were similar to them.

They all wore clothes that they never wore on weekdays, and they looked extremely formal.

Just like today the protagonists are them, not Fangyan and Zhu Lin.

On the other hand, today's two protagonists, Fang Yan and Zhu Lin, were busy in the kitchen.

They work in perfect harmony.

They are full of the worldly air, like an old couple who have been married for many years.

She doesn't look like an unmarried young person at all.

At the door, Zhu Lin could be heard asking in dialect:

"The garlic is peeled, do you need to cut it?"

Fangyan responded:
"Well, cut half into coarse pieces and the other half into minced garlic. I use the coarse pieces for stir-frying and the minced garlic for salad dressing."

Then came the sound of Zhu Lin chopping garlic with a knife.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Lin's mother smiled and said:

"These two kids are really capable. I think they will be able to live a good life after they get married."

He Huiru, the dialect lady, said:
"That's right, Fangyan is much more hardworking than his father."

Zhu Lin's mother, Fu Zhaojun, said:
"Don't talk about Lao Fang. Lao Zhu in our family is the one who really has everything he wants."

After that, he pointed to Fangyan who was frying kidney in the kitchen and praised:

"Your family must have given Fangyan a good education. Look at his cooking skills. Even the chef in our unit probably can't cook as well as he can. You two will definitely live a good life in the future."

Hearing this, He Huiru nodded and smiled:
"You're right, I think so too, hahaha..."

Fang Zhenhua, who was standing by, looked at his future daughter-in-law and did not forget to praise her in-laws:
"It's understandable that our third child has good life skills after going to the countryside. I didn't expect Linlin to be able to manage the kitchen so well. It's all because of your family's good education."

Professor Zhu smiled and said:
"Hey, I'm not bragging to you. It's all my fault. I was a bad father and she couldn't stand it so she did it herself. Then we became familiar with each other."

As soon as these words came out, several people laughed:

"Hahaha……"

Hearing the laughter outside, Fang Yan and Zhu Lin in the kitchen looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, then continued to get busy.

Fangyan is making a braised pork at this moment.

While he was frying the fat from the pork belly, he turned around and whispered to Zhu Lin:

"Have your family discussed the specific dates for engagement and marriage?"

Zhu Lin knew that Fang Yan planned to check the time with her in advance so that they would have an idea in mind when they had dinner later.

She said while cutting green onions:
"After some discussion, they looked at the almanac and said that this weekend's Sunday would be a good time for the engagement. Then we will invite some friends and relatives who are still in Beijing to come to our house for a meal."

Fang Yan nodded, continued to stir fry without stopping, and asked:

"What about the wedding date?"

Zhu Lin stopped what he was doing and asked tentatively:

"How about the National Day? It's only a little over a month away, so we have time to decorate the courtyard and notify our relatives and friends at the same time."

"My father said we must invite some of our elders from other places, so we can let them arrange the time."

Fangyan raised his head and calculated:
"National Day... there are still forty-three days left..."

"How about it?" Zhu Lin still planned to seek Fangyan's opinion on this matter. Although she was older than Fangyan, she still preferred to behave like a little woman in front of Fangyan.

Fang Yan thought about it in his mind, then nodded:

"Okay, that should be enough time. We'll do it in the courtyard then."

"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded happily. ...

"Bring me that bottle of wine." Fang Yan pointed at the bottle of Sanbai placed in front of Zhu Lin. No one at home drinks alcohol, so Fang Yan used that bottle of wine as cooking wine.

Zhu Lin took the Sanbai and handed it to Fangyan:

"Give……"

When the wine is poured onto the meat, the aroma of the wine and the gravy waft out under the heat.

Zhu Lin couldn't help swallowing.

When the people outside smelled it, they stopped talking and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wow, this smells so good!"

Fangyan and Zhu Lin took more than an hour to cook the meal.

When it was served on the table, Professor Zhu was almost dizzy with the smell.

For today's meal, Fangyan also took out the spices that he had bought from Tong Ren Tang.

So the food turned out to be extra fragrant, and the taste of the dishes in this meal was enriched on several levels.

Spices are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. In his previous life, Fangyan liked to pick spices directly from the pharmacy and use them in cooking. Now in this life, he has picked up the old habit again.

After several people sat down at the table, Fang's parents briefly explained that the theme of this meal was to discuss the date for the two young people to get engaged and married.

And I didn't plan to make it clear before the meal.

After all, everyone was a little overwhelmed by the aroma of the food at this moment.

After we started eating, everyone was eating with their chopsticks flying, and no one had time to talk. The food tasted so good, it tasted even better than it smelled.

In the end, it was Fangyan who finally brought up the topic when he saw that no one else was bringing it up.

The Fangyan family and the Zhu Lin family basically reached a consensus on the time.

Getting engaged this weekend and getting married on National Day.

But Fangyan thought of one thing, they can hold the wedding on National Day, but they can't get the marriage certificate at that time because it is a holiday on National Day, so he and the Queen have to get the marriage certificate in advance.

This was indeed an objective reason, so the two families began to discuss the time to get the marriage certificate.

Finally, under Zhu Lin's suggestion, they decided to find a memorable day to get the marriage certificate.

So she recommended that the wedding day be the day when the courtyard of their new home was decorated and the stove was lit, which meant that she and Fangyan would have a new home on that day. At the same time, it should be not many days away from National Day, so it would be suitable in all aspects.

The Queen's idea immediately won the approval of the whole audience.

Fang Yan couldn't help but nod repeatedly, praising the Queen for her good idea.

After the meal, Fang Yan and Zhu Lin set the dates for their engagement, marriage certificate and wedding.

Both families happily prepared their plans.

……

Time passed quickly, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Fang Yan changed into a loose sportswear that he rarely wore on weekdays early in the morning. This was the martial arts team uniform that Ding Jian gave him.

After putting on the clothes, he came to the Xiyuan Family Compound, where his master Lu Donghua lived.

When he arrived, his eldest senior brother Xu Jinsheng had already been taken out of the hospital by his second senior brother Ding Jian.

There was actually Xiao Li accompanying them. After asking Fang Yan, he found out that he came here today to help his master get revenge.

After a while, the third and fourth senior brothers also arrived.

All of Master Lu’s disciples in Beijing are present.

Now we just wait for the enemy to come.

PS: Finished, I still owe you 92,000.

That’s all for today, see you tomorrow morning.
