Chapter 593 Sending Mother-in-law
The banquet in Courtyard No. 98 ended before eight o'clock in the evening. After everyone drank two cups of tea in the living room of the main house, Qin Ming asked to leave, and Jiang Sufen and Su Yu, mother and daughter, also asked to go home.
So everyone brought the gifts that had been prepared in advance and the packed food boxes to the car.
Three jeeps slowly left the small parking lot in front of the door one after another.
Sun Yong and Lin Nan, a married couple, also wanted to go to the family quarters of the People's Armed Forces Department to spend the New Year with their parents and son. Lin Yu simply asked them to take the gifts back tonight. Anyway, they would only go to the unit to distribute Spring Festival benefits in the morning tomorrow, so he asked them to come back on the second day of the New Year.
The wedding date has been set. A simple wedding will be held on the eighth day of the second lunar month next year. At this time, the country has been advocating hard work, simplicity, diligence and thrift. Given Lin Yu's current status and position, he absolutely cannot hold a grand wedding, as that would have a bad impact.
Since the wedding date has been set, the task of sending Jiang Sufen and Su Yu home tonight naturally fell on Lin Yu himself. So he drove the jeep and drove smoothly on the road leading to the family dormitory area of the Dongcheng District Post Office. Su Yu sat in the co-pilot seat with a hot face, and gave directions on the road from time to time. Jiang Sufen sat in the back seat with a smile on her face, looking at the young couple in front of her with satisfaction. His daughter's lifelong event has finally been determined. The future son-in-law is already a senior leader at the vice-ministerial level at a young age. Moreover, through the contact tonight, whether it is Lin Yu's mother, sister and brother-in-law, or Huang Ying, they are all very decent in dealing with people, and there is no condescending attitude at all.
It is said to be the family dormitory area of the Dongcheng District Post Office, but in fact it is just a few adjacent courtyards. Almost all the people living here are the cadres, employees and family members of the Post Office.
When the jeep stopped steadily in front of the gate of a two-entry courtyard, some residents who had heard the roar of the car engine had already walked out of the gate. After all, cars were still a rare thing in that era, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening, so how could a car come here at this time?
When they saw a brand new Willys Jeep parked in front of the door by the light at the gate, several residents in the front yard who walked out of the gate couldn't help but stop. The people who can ride in this kind of car now are definitely the main leaders of various units. Even the car of the head of their Dongcheng District Post Office is just an old jeep that is 60% to 70% new, but it is still treated as a treasure.
But when everyone saw the person who pushed open the car door and got out, they all came over immediately.
The young girl who got out from the front passenger seat was Su Yu, who worked in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The person who got out from the back seat was Jiang Sufen, deputy director of the Dongcheng District Post Office. Most people's eyes were on the tall young man who got out from the cab and was wearing a well-fitting gray woolen Zhongshan suit.
Jiang Sufen smiled as she walked towards her neighbors. Without waiting for anyone to ask, she reached out and grabbed a handful of candies from the bag she was carrying and handed them to everyone one by one: "Today is Su Yu's engagement, so I'll give everyone some wedding candies to sweeten their mouths."
After hearing what Jiang Sufen said, everyone took the candies with a smile and congratulated her repeatedly, except for a few young people who looked extremely unhappy.
You have to know that Su Yu can be regarded as the most beautiful young girl in the neighborhood, and she is also a section-level cadre in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Many unmarried young men in the Dongcheng District Post Office are attracted to her, and even several families have asked matchmakers to propose marriage to her. Unfortunately, they were rejected one by one by Jiang Sufen and her daughter. Today, some people have begun to feel sad after hearing the news that the girl they like is engaged.
At this time, someone was already asking Jiang Sufen, wanting to know where the man worked.
There was nothing to hide about this, and Jiang Sufen openly told everyone the identity of her future son-in-law. Of course, there was inevitably a hint of showing off in it. You know, ever since the mother and daughter rejected several marriage proposals in succession, some people started talking behind their backs, and today was a good opportunity to shut those people up.
When they learned that Su Yu's fiancé was Lin Yu, the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, everyone at the scene suddenly became quiet, their eyes widened in surprise, and they all had an expression of disbelief.
Noticing the various expressions of the people present, Jiang Sufen smiled with a hint of pride and said, "The wedding date has been set. We'll get married on February 8th. I'll give out wedding candies to everyone then."
Lin Yu and Su Yu took the two food boxes and several bags of different sizes out of the car and walked into the gate of the courtyard together.
Everyone present involuntarily made way for him. It was obvious that the young man in front of them was Su Yu's fiancé. Everyone worked in the post office, so they knew clearly that this young man with a warm smile was a senior leader at the bureau level.
Su Yu's family lived in two western rooms in the backyard. When Su Yu accompanied Lin Yu into the backyard, almost all the residents had walked out of their homes. The sound from the front door just now had already alarmed these residents in this quiet night.
Su Yu greeted everyone with a smile, and then under everyone's gaze, she hurried to the door of her home.
Lin Yu followed Su Yu naturally, carrying the food box. Since Su Yu did not introduce himself, he simply remained silent.
After opening the door and turning on the light, Su Yu casually placed the bag in her hand on the square table. She couldn't help but pat her towering breasts and let out a long breath.
Lin Yu put the lunch box on the stool next to him and looked around the room casually.
This is a house of less than 20 square meters. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all in this room. There is only a square table, four stools, a cupboard and a coal stove in the corner.
The next room was the bedroom of the mother and daughter. As the door was closed, Lin Yu certainly couldn't go over to check.
Su Yu said a little embarrassedly: “Secretary, let me make you a cup of tea.”
Lin Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since we are already engaged, we should change our words in private. You can just call me by my name. No need to bother. You should also pack up and go to bed early. I will be back soon."
Su Yu nodded shyly, then followed Lin Yu out of the house.
When Lin Yu and his companion walked out of the yard, Jiang Sufen was still here chatting happily with her neighbors.
Su Yu couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Mom, Lin Yu is going back."
Jiang Sufen quickly came over with a smile and said kindly, "Lin Yu, why don't you sit for a while before going back?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Auntie, it's getting late. I have to go back and take care of some work."
Watching the jeep going away, everyone walked into the courtyard with different expressions. The topic of discussion in every household tonight was Su Yu's marriage.
