Chapter 770 Looks Familiar
Li Xuemei woke up from a nap and thought about it. What she saw yesterday was real, but she still couldn't believe it.
So she hurriedly ate breakfast at home, went to school to finish a day's work, and went to Liu Chengcai to see it again after get off work in the afternoon to make sure that what she saw yesterday was real.
The reason why Liu Chengcai wanted to tell Li Xuemei about this now was that Liu Chengcai wanted Liu Hai to be present at his wedding.
On the other hand, young people still believe in love, especially in this era.
Of course, most people in this era are still relatively simple, so Liu Chengcai told Li Xuemei about this.
"I don't know how to tell my parents." Li Xuemei leaned her head on Liu Chengcai's chest. After the two hugged each other yesterday, it felt natural.
"This... why don't we talk about it after we get married." Liu Chengcai didn't know what to say.
"Okay, but my mother wants to meet your father." Li Xuemei said again, looking up at Liu Chengcai.
Liu Chengcai certainly agreed. Li Xuemei went home today with a blushing face because the two of them had a ball today.
"What did Chengcai say?" Li Xuemei's mother asked when she saw her daughter coming back.
"They said we can set the date here." Li Xuemei said.
"What's the big deal? I'll discuss it with your father after he comes back and meet him as soon as possible." Li Xuemei's mother felt very comfortable when she heard this. The other party said this to take care of her time.
The final time was set two days later, and the place was also set by Li Xuemei's family.
Liu Hai adjusted his time after receiving the news.
Junior sister also wanted to go together, so Liu Hai agreed.
On the day of the meeting, Liu Hai and Junior sister both wore handmade custom clothes, which looked inconspicuous, but very fitting. Liu Hai wore a Zhongshan suit and Junior sister wore a black down jacket.
Of course, they also brought gifts to Li Xuemei's family when they met for the first time.
"Do you think the gifts we brought are a bit too shabby?" Junior sister looked at the gifts in the back seat of the car, which were just a few down jackets.
"Enough, enough. If you give too many and too nice things when you meet for the first time, it will give others a bad feeling." Liu Hai gave a down jacket to each of Li Xuemei's family members.
"Besides, you will be filial to them in the future."
"You are a very thoughtful person." The junior sister felt very proud of Liu Hai's attentiveness, because this man is both capable and attentive.
"Yeah!" Liu Hai nodded.
Liu Chengcai did not drive the big off-road vehicle that Liu Hai gave him, because it was too conspicuous.
The big off-road vehicle that Liu Hai gave him was the civilian version of the military off-road vehicle, that is, the Hummer. The comfort of the civilian version is much better than the military version.
"Oh, sorry, I kept my in-laws waiting for a long time." Liu Hai saw Liu Chengcai, Wang Hongmei and several other people waiting beside him as soon as he stopped the car at the entrance of the hotel. After Liu Hai got out of the car, he went straight to shake hands with the middle-aged man of the same age as him.
Liu Hai knew that Li Xuemei's father was a technician in a bearing manufacturing factory. This bearing factory has always made parts for motorcycle factories.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Xuemei's father Li Jianshe looked at Liu Hai, because Liu Hai looked like he was in his 30s.
"Speaking of which, Lao Li and I are in the same line of work." After Liu Hai shook hands with Li Jianshe, the relative became Lao Li.
The junior sister followed behind and laughed at her senior brother's hospitality.
"Brother Liu, you're welcome. This is my wife, surnamed Zhang!" When Li Jianshe heard Liu Hai call him Lao Li, he felt like a colleague calling him Lao Li, and his mood relaxed all of a sudden. He introduced his wife, who was Li Xuemei's mother.
"Brother Liu, you're really young." Li Xuemei's mother Zhang Chunhua knew that Liu Hai was older than her and her husband, and she also said generously.
"This is my wife, surnamed Zhu." Liu Hai introduced the junior sister to the two of them.
"Oh, sister Zhu is so pretty." Zhang Chunhua came forward to shake hands when she saw Liu Hai's junior sister.
"Uncle, aunt." Li Xuemei was also surprised that Liu Hai was young, and even more surprised that Liu Hai's current lover was so beautiful.
Li Xuemei's younger brother is still a high school student, and he is a little shy and calls her uncle and aunt.
Liu Chengcai has taken the gift down from the car.
This is a mid-range hotel with a private room.
Liu Hai's 4 people plus Li Jianshe's 4 people, exactly 8 people.
"I'm sorry that we meet so late this time, so I bring you some small gifts as a token of my appreciation." After entering the private room, because there is heating, Liu Hai took off his cotton coat and took out the down jacket he bought.
"You're welcome, Brother Liu, you're welcome." Li Jianshe and others took the handbag and put it aside. This is how the in-laws interact. When they meet for the first time, the man prepares a small gift for the woman.
After the junior sister took off her down jacket, she wore a beige sweater inside, and Wang Hongmei also wore a white sweater inside her down jacket.
Liu Hai and Li Jianshe were the leaders, and Liu Hai's junior sister, Wang Hongmei, and Liu Chengcai were in turn.
Li Jianshe, Zhang Chunhua, Li Xuemei's brother Li Yang, Li Xuemei, and then Li Xuemei and Liu Chengcai were next to each other.
"I am in the same industry as Lao Li. Our factory is just opposite Lao Li's factory. I am also a small technician, but the nature of my work is relatively confidential." Liu Hai began to introduce himself.
"Oh, Brother Liu is actually a big shot in the motorcycle factory. I'm so disrespectful." Liu Jianshe was surprised when he heard Liu Hai say that.
There is a phenomenon in Kyoto, that is, from the East Second Ring Road to the airport, the right side is all motorcycle factories, and the left side is all other factories.
The bearing factory is just opposite the motorcycle factory.
"You're welcome. I'm just a small technician." Liu Hai hurriedly said politely.
"This is not polite. The motorcycle factory is the cradle of our domestic industrialization. How many technologies and standards have your factory produced? There is nothing that your factory can't do, whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water." Li Jianshe said.
"This is the result of everyone's hard work. Your bearing factory has also developed rapidly in recent years."
"It's thanks to the technology diffusion of your factory."
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Li Xuemei looked at Aunt Zhu and felt that she seemed very familiar, but she had never seen her before, so she was a little confused.
Li Yang, who was next to Li Xuemei, also looked at Aunt Zhu and was a little confused because she also felt familiar.
Zhang Chunhua was also a little confused because she seemed to have seen the girl from the Zhu family.
But no one asked. After the dishes were served, they started eating and chatting, and ordered wine.
"Brother Liu, what about the banquet?" Li Jianshe asked.
"For various reasons, I was far away from Chengcai before, and I have prepared the new house for their wedding. All the furniture is ready." Liu Hai said.
"Ready?" Li Jianshe was a little surprised.
"I have taken Xuemei to see it." Liu Chengcai said at this time.
Li Xuemei nodded shyly. It was not just a new house, but a whole building with countless units. The decoration inside surprised Li Xuemei, but she didn't know how to tell her parents.
Zhang Chunhua and Li Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief. There are many houses in Kyoto, but there are even more people. It is not so easy to get a good house, especially when there were houses allocated in the past.
"Thank you, my in-laws. I also told them to wait for the school to allocate houses." Li Jianshe saw his daughter nodded and picked up the cup and said to Liu Hai.
Zhang Chunhua also raised her glass, and so did her junior sister and Wang Hongmei. They drank some wine, but Liu Chengcai drank a beverage because he would drive someone away later.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's fate that the two of them can be together. As long as they live well in the future, we, the older generation, will be satisfied." Li Jianshe looked at Liu Hai's youth and said this, which was a bit strange.
Li Jianshe was a standard technician, with a little baldness and a slightly older look.
Li Jianshe nodded: "As long as my daughter has seen it, it's fine."
"We can each hold our own banquet, and I will go back to my hometown to hold the banquet." Liu Hai did not take on the responsibility of helping his in-laws to hold the banquet.
"Okay." Li Jianshe thought that his daughter would have her own house in the future, and he was relieved. The rule of holding a banquet was that each of them should hold it separately, and it was reasonable for Liu Hai to go back to the village to hold it.
Then the family discussed that Liu Chengcai and Li Xuemei would hold the banquet at her mother's house at the end of the month, and hold it at her hometown on New Year's Day.
Since Liu Hai had prepared the furniture for the new house and his daughter had seen it, Liu Jianshe didn't say much about it.
Seeing his daughter's look, she was very satisfied with the new house.
"Dad, I'll take Uncle Li and the others." After dinner, Liu Chengcai greeted Liu Hai.
Liu Hai nodded.
"Aunt, I'm leaving first." Liu Chengcai greeted Aunt Zhu again.
"Slow down on the road."
"Brother Liu, we'll leave first."
"Old Li, slow down." Both sides said goodbye.
Liu Hai saw Liu Chengcai leaving, and then he realized that the three of them had drunk alcohol.
A man got off a van behind: "Engineer Liu, do you need to drive?"
"Then I'll trouble you." Liu Hai knew the security in the factory and was familiar with his habits.
"Engineer Liu, you're polite."
First sent Wang Hongmei to the new house, and then Liu Hai and his junior sister returned home together.
When Li Jianshe's family returned home, Zhang Chunhua hurriedly made the sofa for her son.
Li Yang sighed and said, "After sleeping on the sofa for so many years, I finally get to move in."
"Stinky boy, do you dislike me?" Li Xuemei said as she tried to teach her brother a lesson.
"Xuemei, how big is the new house? Is it 1 bedroom and 1 living room, or 2 bedrooms and 1 living room? Are the furniture new?" Zhang Chunhua asked while arranging the sofa for her son.
"There are quite a lot of rooms." Li Xuemei felt even more headache when she heard this.
"Isn't it a big courtyard?"
"I don't think Brother Liu lives in a courtyard."
Li Yang asked in confusion at this time: "Why do I feel that Aunt Zhu looks familiar? Where have I seen her before?"
"Hey, son, now that you mention it, I seem to have seen her somewhere too?" Zhang Chunhua was also very confused when she heard this.
"Maybe they look closer?" Li Jianshe also had this feeling, but he always felt that it was impossible because his social circle was so small.
Li Xuemei was also a little suspicious.
"You guys get the certificate tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you take me and your dad to see your new house to see if there's anything else to prepare." Zhang Chunhua said, mainly because everyone has work now, and it's not easy during the day.
"Yeah!" Li Xuemei nodded when she heard this, anyway, it would be fine if the two elders saw it then.
"Xuemei's father doesn't know yet." After returning home, the junior sister said with a smirk.
Liu Hai knew what the junior sister was talking about, and laughed: "That's their business. After all, Chengcai will be a family with them in the future."
"But junior sister, you are such a big celebrity, they didn't recognize you." Liu Hai laughed again.
"How can I be considered a big celebrity? I have only appeared in the news a few times." The junior sister was in the newspaper a lot, but the photos when she was in the newspaper were not so clear, and the TV was not very clear. That was done on purpose.
Only people with a very good memory, very good eyesight, can recognize it at a glance.
"Isn't all your credit." The junior sister said again.
"Sister Xiaoyun also said on the phone that she would also come to Chengcai's wedding. If it weren't for the rush of this meeting, Sister Xiaoyun would probably have to rush back." The junior sister said again.
"Well, I'll arrange it when the time comes." Liu Hai nodded.
The next day Liu Hai went to the factory to arrange the work first, and then asked the factory director for leave.
Then he went to the canteen to invite two chefs, and then went back to the village happily.
In the village, Liu Hai meant that he would not accept any gifts, and all the villagers, young and old, would eat together at noon and at night.
Liu Hai had originally prepared tables, chairs and benches to bring from the factory, but the team leader said that it was not necessary, and the meat and other things used could be bought in the village.
Liu Hai also nodded, and arranged to slaughter pigs and sheep one day in advance, and come back two days in advance, mainly to see how many people there were in the village. As for the construction of the venue, the team leader patted his chest and guaranteed to arrange it.
Liu Chengcai and Li Xuemei took the time to get their marriage certificate today. Wang Hongmei was so happy when she saw her son and Li Xuemei's marriage certificate.
Wang Hongmei has been working in the township government for many years, and she is no longer as reckless or narrow-minded as a country woman.
"Xuemei, you know the situation of our family. We should have more children in the future." Wang Hongmei took Li Xuemei's hand and whispered.
"Yes!" Li Xuemei blushed and nodded.
"You are so bad. My parents don't know about your family situation yet." After Wang Hongmei left, Li Xuemei hit Liu Chengcai.
"I knew it a few days earlier than you. I just knew that my father was capable, but I didn't expect him to have such ability."
"I think Aunt Zhu looks familiar? Have you seen her somewhere before?" Li Xuemei asked at this time.
"On TV, Aunt Zhu is on TV every year."
"Is Aunt Zhu an actress?" Li Xuemei was a little suspicious when she heard this.
