Back to the third grade

Chapter 150

There was a small dispute on the way home.Tuhai asked Lin Mei to take back the gold jewelry and diamond rings he bought, but Lin Mei asked him to take them back and show Tu's mother first.She couldn't explain it, so she had to say "I am a woman, and I understand women's psychology. In short, you can just take it back. PS, if you find that your mother looks wrong, just give her the gold bracelet."

In the end, the two made a compromise. She accepted the new diamond ring, and Tuhai took the gold back to show Tu's mother.Then he sent her home and sat there until ten o'clock.

Lin Mei put on her coat and led the dog downstairs to see him off.

The wedding was about to be held, so even if he had lived in the Lin family before, he had to go home now.

It was cold outside, and my face was frozen hard as soon as I went downstairs.Lin Mei took a shallow breath because the air was too cold.She put her hand in his pocket, and the two walked slowly to the gate.

"You go," she said, "what are you doing tomorrow?"

Tuhai wrung his fingers and said, "Take things to Uncle Dai's house, and in the afternoon to Grandpa Wang's." Some elders can't call and say that they are going to get married, so Tu Hai wants to bring things to visit in person and notify by the way. "Let's see if they come or not." Tu Hai felt that this was a bit like asking for money on purpose, and every time he went to someone's house, he had to push and shove for a long time about the money.He really wanted it to be simple, so he didn't use it if he didn't want to come, and he didn't have to come to the door for 200 yuan.

"Like a debt collection." He whispered to Lin Mei.

Lin Mei secretly laughed with him.Her aspect was much simpler, and Mother Lin informed her at work that there were no guests who needed to come to invite her.Come or not.

"It's impossible not to go." Tuhai sighed, his parents were urging him, if he didn't go, he would offend others.

"Thank you." Lin Mei stroked Tuhai's hair.

The two kissed each other, Tuhai stopped her from standing outside, and waved his hands: "You go back quickly, I'm leaving now."

Tu Hai returned home with the gold jewelry. As soon as he entered the house, Tu's mother hurried out of the living room and said, "You're back? Did you buy it?"

"I bought it." Tuhai turned around and locked the door.

"Where is it? Let me see." Mother Tu came over to look at the bag in his hand.

Tu Hai admired his wife so much, he quickly realized that if he told Mama Tu that the jewelry he bought had already been given to Lin Mei, Mama Tu would not say anything, but would definitely mutter in her heart.This is tantamount to creating conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Like a little eunuch serving Lafayette, he helped Mother Tu back to the living room, sat on the sofa and opened all the gold jewelry for Lafayette to inspect.

The charm of gold is endless. As soon as the box is opened, the gold reflects a dazzling, soft, beautiful and moving light under the light.Dad Tu also came over to watch.

The jewelry on the table is obviously of two styles, and Tu's father can tell it at a glance, pointing to the bracelet and asking Tu Hai: "Is this for your mother?"

Tu's mother's eyes lit up, feeling restless with joy, and said incoherently: "No, no, no...how could this be...hehe..."

Tu Hai felt sore, and leaned over to lift up the bracelet for Tu's mother to wear, not forgetting to brush up Lin Mei's favorability, and said: "Mei Mei said that this wedding has troubled both parents, once she entered the mall, she Just pick this first."

Tu's father was jealous, and snorted coldly: "What about me? Your father will build your house and go to the decoration market every day! I went to four places for that tile! And your whole cabinet! Your toilet!"

Tu's mother saw that the bracelets were not a pair, so she believed that the bracelet was chosen by Lin Mei, and she probably planned to have one for both mothers.

Tuhai looked at the picture, and his mother took two bracelets to look at. The patch was done very quickly, and she said sweetly, "I just want my mother to choose the one I like first when I bring it back!"

The smile on Tu's mother's face couldn't stop, she still didn't admit defeat and said: "It's all my money!"

Tuhai opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "She also bought me something."

In the evening, Tu's father specially advised Tu's mother, "Don't be so stingy, keep raising money. To be honest, the Lin family did not lose money."

Mother Tu: "Where am I being stingy?"

Tu's father beat her back and taught his wife softly, "You've been picky lately, and you think our son didn't find out? Knowing that the son belongs to someone else, you feel uncomfortable, and it's almost over."

Mother Tu fell silent.Father Tu counted everything for her, "Speaking of which, this house is sold by our family, and it is a big deal, but don't forget that Lin Mei has a suite in Beijing, not to mention, she also has a company. Our son also works for others. What about it? I heard that his son’s house over there is still repaying the loan, and his salary is not much. In addition to eating, drinking and socializing, he takes some back home every year. Is the rest enough for him to eat, drink and rent a house? It’s like our son How do you count as eating and living in other people’s homes over there?”

Tu's mother pursed her lips, and Tu's father said in a low voice: "It's true that our house has been renovated. The Lin family also bought furniture and electrical appliances, which didn't cost less. And after the house is installed, they will come back to live for a few days during the New Year. You want to live, I will accompany you to live there?"

Tu's mother was ashamed by what he said, and the last bit of reluctance was wiped away. She turned around and pushed him away: "I don't want you to beat me. That's fine! I know it all!"

Tu's father smiled, "Then I will accompany you to live in a new house later?"

Tu's mother said angrily: "No! You have to go by yourself! I live alone at home and it's spacious!"

The next day, Mother Tu handed over all the gold jewelry to Tu Hai for him to keep, and solemnly told him to take it with him when he picked up the bride, and asked Lin Mei to wear it on the spot.

"There's still a key for you. When you have time, take Mei|Mei to the new house to have a look. If there is anything wrong, quickly change it." Mother Tu also slapped the key of the new house on the table.

After breakfast, Tu Hai wiped his mouth, put the key on the key ring, and calculated the time. Today and tomorrow are not free, so he can only go to see the new house the day after tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow?" Lin Mei received the call and said, "Okay, then go the day after tomorrow." As long as she doesn't need to go to grandma's house, she has time every day.

Mother Lin heard that they were going to see the new house, so she also gave them the bill of lading for the furniture and home appliances, "Call them and ask them to deliver it. You are fine now. Go and watch it. I don't need to go to work here." Take another day off."

The new house is full of the smell of wall paint.

Since it was just a simple decoration, only the white walls were painted, and because there was not enough time, the floor was added from the entrance to the bedroom.Only the toilet and the kitchen are tiled, and there are several unused bags of cement sand in the corner of the kitchen.

The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, which seems to be quite large.The problem with the design is a little serious. The basic layout of the house is a herringbone type, which is symmetrical on both sides.After entering the door, there are three rooms on the left, and the living room and dining room on the right.What about the kitchen and toilet?Hehe, it's all narrow, the kitchen is behind the dining room, and the toilet is behind the living room.

The furniture was not delivered, and what Lin's mother said was to let them arrange it by themselves, so as not to make them dissatisfied by the parents.

After seeing the new house, Lin Mei and Tu Hai called someone to deliver the furniture.The bedroom is a five-piece set, the dining room is a dining table plus six chairs, the sofa is a three-person, one double, two single, plus a matching coffee table.

"It seems a little hard to fit..." Lin Mei looked at the size written on the bill of lading, and took a soft ruler to draw around several rooms. She was sure that if a large rectangular dining table and six high-back chairs were placed in a restaurant, it would be basically There is no room left.How will you get the dishes out of the kitchen then?How can the person sitting inside want to go to the living room to use the toilet?Do you want everyone sitting outside to leave?
The same is true in the living room, the three-seater sofa is against the wall, the loveseat sofa is on the side of the aisle, and the coffee table is in the middle. There is no room for the remaining two single-person sofas.

Tuhai called one by one according to the bill of lading, and came back and asked, "What are you doing?" Lin Meiyi said that his brain is also very good, and he figured out that there is not enough space after a little calculation.

Lin Mei pointed again: "The other two houses are empty." There will definitely be relatives and friends visiting the new house. It cannot be said that the master bedroom, dining room and living room are too big to fit, but the other two rooms are empty. put.

The two began to use their brains in the new house.

Mother Lin saw that Lin Mei was sent back by Tu Hai at seven o'clock in the evening, so she didn't care about talking about them, so she hurriedly asked if she had eaten?If you don't eat out, there are ready-made porridge and steamed buns at home, as well as her newly fried vegetables.

Mother Lin said to Tuhai: "Call your home and tell me to eat here and go back later. What are you two doing today? You just went to see a new house, why did you come back so late? Furniture they Did you deliver it today?"

"Not so fast. Now there are few people before the Chinese New Year. We have been urging for a long time before they agreed to quickly arrange people to deliver it tomorrow." Lin Mei said paralyzed on the sofa.

Mother Lin patted her: "Don't pretend to be dead, go serve the food! Then why did you come back so late?"

Thinking about how to furnish the new house.

At the dinner table, Lin Mei told Mother Lin about their achievements all afternoon.

First of all, in the general sense, the dining table is placed in the dining room, the sofa is placed in the living room, and the largest room is definitely not suitable for the master bedroom to be placed in a five-piece suit.

Mother Lin held her chopsticks to stir-fry potato shreds, "Well, tell me how you want to arrange it?"

"Divided by function. When you go to the new house on the wedding day, the sofa and the living room are the most useful ones." Because of the need to entertain guests, the largest room is used as the reception room, which is the original master bedroom. "The TV cabinet is also placed there, so you can watch TV while chatting." Lin Mei said.

Then the original living room is used as the dining room, which is three square meters larger than the dining room, and it doesn’t matter if all the tables and chairs are placed.The restaurant does not display anything, and there must be a lot of various congratulatory gifts, all of which will be piled up here.In the end, there were two rooms of the same size, one with a swing bed and two bedside tables; the other with wardrobes and drawers, which was used as a cloakroom. When she had to change clothes in the new room, the bridesmaids could stand up for makeup and so on.

No room is empty now, and every piece of furniture has been used.

Mother Lin frowned at the beginning. The living room is where the sofa is, the dining room is where the table is, and the largest room is not the master bedroom.But when he heard that it made sense in the end, he nodded and agreed, "Arrange it as you want, and get it done before the wedding."

From then on, Lin Mei often went to her new house, and Tu Hai would accompany her whenever she was free, but his relatives had a lot of things to do, so he could only come here five or six times out of ten.

Once in the new house, the furniture had already been arranged, he stood on the ladder to hang the curtains, and Lin Mei supported him underneath, he asked cautiously: "When the time comes...do you want to call your dad?"

Tu Hai had heard about the relationship between Lin's father and Lin Mei's family a long time ago.Although it was embarrassing to have such a son-in-law father-in-law, he was supposed to be present at such a big event of children's marriage.

Seeing that he was so careful, Lin Mei wanted to laugh, and touched his heart, and wrote lightly: "My mother called him, but he said he would not come over, I think so, I haven't contacted for so many years, suddenly called It's not suitable for him to come, so I don't force it."

Tu Hai's parents also mentioned it, so he came to ask. From his point of view, it doesn't matter whether Father Lin comes or not. Besides, people who have heard the history of Father Lin will hesitate, fearing that if they invite someone Bad guest, wouldn't that add nausea to this happy day?So after Lin Mei said that, he nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll take things with you to have a look some other day when I'm free."

After finishing speaking, Lin Mei smiled again. She was curious and wanted to ask but couldn't open her mouth so she looked at her. Lin Mei pretended not to see her, and asked him to stand carefully and not to sway, so the topic was skipped.

In fact, in the early years, Lin's father asked someone to test Lin's mother.That was when Lin Mei was admitted to university.

Mother Lin was surprised when she received a call from an acquaintance she hadn't seen for a long time, thinking that the person had something to ask for, but after talking nonsense for a long time, she realized the purpose of the call, and immediately rejected it.

Lin Mei knew that when she came home during the summer vacation of her freshman year, she heard Lin's mother talk about it half proudly and half out of anger: "He still wants to come to see you, and even asks people to ask. I told him that after so many years, he also I have never raised you, and now you are going to college, let him pay the tuition fees, and now it is popular to study abroad, and the money for your study has not yet been settled. After I finished speaking, there was no more movement over there. "

Lin Mei had also heard of it.I also know that it has been so many years since I came here to ask, the possibility of family relationship between Xitu's father and daughter is very small, but it is because she wants to pick peaches because of her future prospects at that time.After telling Lin's mother to go back in shock, she never dared to come to the door again.Now that Lin Mei is getting married, Mother Lin also said that Father Lin didn't come to visit her again this time, "I'm afraid he might be asked to pay the dowry." After speaking, the mother and daughter laughed.

Lin Mei does not expect the affection of father and daughter.Because at that time, she could see the faces of Father Lin and Grandma Lin very clearly.They demoted her to the field from the very beginning, and denied her existence value from the moment she was born.What else can she say?The health of both parties is the best result.

The new house has been furnished, Lin Mei bought some potted flowers and plants for decoration, and it looks like a popular home.

The rented wedding dress was also sent to the dry cleaner for washing, as well as the two sets of dresses prepared by Lin Mei, and Tuhai's suit.

When the wedding was only one day away, Mother Tu suddenly remembered the wedding photos and asked Tu Hai for them.Tu Hai hastily said that the final production was being done in the store, and because it was almost the Chinese New Year, it was not ready yet.

Mother Tu: "Not done well?! What should I do then? Wait, you are looking for a store in Beijing?!"

Yes, so it is indeed impossible to get it now.Tuhai comforted Tu's mother and said that she would send it back to her immediately after it was finished, so that she could show it to relatives and friends at home!
Mother Tu said urgently: "Then what should you do if you don't even have a wedding photo in your new house!!"

Tuhai hurriedly took the notebook and showed the wedding photos stored in it to Tu's mother, saying that these were samples given to him by the bridal shop. , because I was only a photographer at the time, and there was no light or light board, so the photos shown to Tu Mama were quite dreamy. In other words, the P was a bit unhuman.

The photographer took out the technology of World of Warcraft, and replaced the room with cement walls with the hell world of dark clouds overwhelming the city, the magical middle-earth and so on. The three pictures with Tu Hai also included flames and lights.

Tu's mother couldn't appreciate this style, and after watching it for a long time, she popped out a sentence: "...What is this mess?" How come there is a picture with Lin Mei standing in the big bird cage, and Tu Hai standing outside the cage? "Can you hang this in your new house?"

There are also ordinary ones, where the two stand together and put a bunch of flowers behind them, and the background has been changed.

Tu's mother heard Tu Hai talking about this is called a new wedding dress, in order to leave an eternal and special commemoration.Mother Tu sneered, "Okay, anyway, make it look better for me, I want to put it at home for people to see!"

Tu Hai quickly nodded and said yes, send Tu's mother away, and call Lin Mei for help.

"Ah, I forgot too." Lin Mei was also stunned.After coming back for a few days, the two had already completely forgotten about the wedding photos.

"We need to take a few more photos quickly." Tu Hai said, at least enough photos to make two albums.

Lin Mei thought for a while and said, "It's easy, bring your camera, and we'll go to school."

Picking a sunny day, Lin Mei came out with Tu Hai early in the morning.She had on her old red plaid coat and the scarf and hat Tuhai had bought her.Tuhai was even more interesting, he actually brought the school uniforms of the attached middle school and the province one.

That night, the two of them said that they wanted to take additional photos, and that they wanted to have a commemorative meaning, so there was nothing more suitable for them than the attached high school and the provincial one campus.The two discussed excitedly that they would take photos under the big tree in the attached middle school if it hadn't been chopped down.

"It would be great if we could shoot in the classroom at that time." Tu Hai said.

"Which classroom is it?" Lin Mei asked.The two were in different classes when they were in the attached middle school, but they were both in the same class for a while.

Tuhai said: "I want to take a picture of you in your classroom." Obviously the two were in the same school in junior high school, but he has no impression of Lin Mei in junior high school.When chatting with He Qi before, He Qi said that Tu Hai took Lin Mei with him at that time, and Lin Mei sat in his back seat.Tuhai remembered that incident, but he couldn't remember what Lin Mei was like at that time, and his memory was just blank.

The two had a very good idea, but they had no choice but to return at the entrance of the attached middle school: outsiders are not allowed to enter the school.

The security guard at the school gate was a young boy. After asking them if they were here to pick up the students, he shook his head and said no. What's good to shoot?" He pointed to the old teaching building and said, "And I can't take pictures. After class, there are only students. If you let you in, the school teacher will scold you."

Across an iron gate, the students in the campus are young and full of vitality. There are two silly tall boys who are standing and jumping in the empty playground like children. He jumped on his body, didn't jump well, and almost fell face down on the ground (Lin Mei was surprised), the person in front hurriedly turned around to help him, and when he realized that he was trying to do something wrong, he kicked him directly, and the two laughed and chased Then run to the teaching building.

Lin Mei smiled with Tuhai: "It's so cute."

Tu Hai couldn't bear to see him, "You two are so stupid."

In the end, Lin Mei sat on the back seat of Tuhai's bicycle. Tuhai turned his head on both feet, and the two posed for four or five photos.

After shooting, Tu Hai seemed to have fulfilled a wish, put away the camera and said, "Now go save one!"

It would be interesting not to get into school after getting there.
