Chapter 498 Daily Life
The next day, after getting up early and exercising, they returned home and woke up the sleeping Wei Lan. The two of them washed up, bought breakfast, and drove to a nearby hotel.
As we age, we naturally get less sleep. Especially since this is a strange city and I'm not used to sleeping on a soft bed. The old couple had already packed it up.
Seeing Zhang Xia opening the door and Wang Dong putting out his cigarette butts in the ashtray behind him, Wei Lan said with a big smile: "Auntie, uncle, I brought you breakfast, Lin'an special breakfast."
While talking, Wang Yan, who was holding a bunch of things behind him, stepped aside and entered the room together.
After working for a while, everyone ate their own food. Zhang Xia and Wang Dong sat at the table, while Wang Yan and Wei Lan stood by the window sill, having a lively breakfast.
"Uncle and aunt, let's go to the West Lake for a walk while the morning is cool, and then go to the Lingyin Temple on the mountain. In the afternoon, we will go to Xixi or Xiang Lake. There is not much else here, just water. many."
Zhang Xia shook her head: "When will the in-laws arrive?"
They were all familiar, so Wei Lan didn't blush at all: "Their flight this afternoon will arrive around five o'clock."
"Then stop wandering around this afternoon and go to your company to have a look. If you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do."
Wang Yan smiled and said: "What's so interesting about the company? The room is about the same size as the hotel room now. There are only a few people in total. They are quite far away. What are you looking for? Just listen to Wei Lan, let's take a look at the south The mountains and rivers are so good. It would be great to visit the shops over there and buy some silk clothes for you and my dad. "
"Why do you talk so much? I just want to see how my son is doing. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Xia had a bad face towards Wang Yan.
There really wasn't anything interesting to see, otherwise Wang Yan wouldn't have said anything. But since his own mother said so, what else could he do? He nodded immediately: "Go, you can go wherever you want. By the way, parents, I have to tell you something."
Wang Yan looked at his parents who were waiting for his words, and smiled and put his arms around Wei Lan: "Wei Lan told me last night that her parents gave her five hundred thousand to buy us a car."
Zhang Xia looked at Wang Dong, but Wang Dong looked at his son. He is uneducated, not brainless. Now that his son is so promising, there is no need for him to be the master of the family. Once this matter was revealed, he should have an idea on how to deal with his son. In addition, he also knew that this was what was mentioned to her in front of Wei Lan.
"Wei Lan said that it was his parents' wish. I am the only son in our family, and she is the only daughter in their family. Her parents would be happy to help with this important matter of getting married. So, we will take this money. Let's wait for his parents to come over today and have a night's rest. Tomorrow we will go to the 4S store that sells cars and buy them if they suit us. Here you go, you have to have a good drink with him, dad."
Wang Dong nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely accompany my in-laws. Girl, my mother and I are both incompetent. We really can't help you. It's better not to cause trouble. Don't blame us."
"You old thing can't talk." Zhang Xia gave her wife a pestle angrily: "Girl, don't listen to his nonsense."
"No, uncle and aunt, you have given birth to a son as good as Wang Yan, that is my greatest blessing. Wang Yan is so profitable, so I am the one who is above him."
"You kid, how can we live a life as a couple and have nothing to do with each other?" Zhang Xia glared at her unhappily: "Okay, okay, we are all a family, don't say those heretics. Eat, eat, finish eating. Let’s go and see West Lake. Isn’t that why White Snake is so suppressed? I used to watch that TV series, oh, let me tell you, that Fahai made me angry..."
After joking and eating breakfast, the four of them tidied up and went downstairs to leave the hotel and set off for a stroll in the West Lake. Wang, Photographer, Yan, took pictures of his parents and Wei Lan with his mobile phone. Occasionally, he would take a group photo of the four of them. The photo was taken and posted on WeChat Moments. Zhang Xia was in high spirits, so Moments had to be taken care of first. Then go back and hit him face to face. Along the way, I listened to her and the man holding the mobile phone, sending voice messages of forty to fifty seconds to the relatives and friends who took the initiative to ask, with their grinning lips never closing.
West Lake and its surroundings are huge. If you really want to explore it, it will take more than one morning. So I just took a stroll around in a car, rowed a boat, walked around the temple, and looked at the Leifeng Pagoda where the White Snake was guarding. It was already afternoon.
We had a sumptuous lunch at a restaurant and drove for an hour to the company.
"It's really far for you. It takes such a long time to drive from our house to your second aunt's house. Otherwise, life in this big city is tiring. You have to come from such a distance to work every day. It's strange that you can be light-hearted. Yes." While waiting for the elevator, Zhang Xia expressed her sympathy for the young people.
"When I first started, I didn't have any money. I wasn't a college student starting a business, nor was it an encouraged industry. There were no discounts. That's why I rented here just to get a bargain. But now it's better. Wait for this part. When the time is up, I’ll look into changing places.”
When he arrived at the company, he first went to the medicine store. Two women, one big and one small, were talking on the phone. Wang Yan didn't bother them. He took a quick look and then went to the software company on the other side.
Ma Zichen and his three companions were talking and laughing while working. When they saw Wang Yan bringing people in, they stood up and greeted him with a smile. Wang Yan introduced his parents to them, and then said, "I'm busy with my wedding these days. There's only so much work for us. You can do it yourself."
"Don't worry, Brother Yan." Ma Zichen's three young ones answered, and the oldest Zhang Xu also nodded and said it was okay. He also gave the most sincere blessings to Wang Yan and Wei Lan, and said he would give gifts.
Wang Yan waved his hand and smiled, "Don't say those useless things. You all get paid from me. What gifts are there? Just do your work well and it's a good gift."
Zhang Xia and Wang Dong touched and touched this and that, and then left muttering. The gap is still a bit big. After all, Wang Yan earns more than one million yuan a month, but the place where he works is somewhat shabby and looks really shabby. It's really far from the scenes in various high-rise buildings that they watch on TV. In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was not easy for his son to earn money, completely ignoring that their money was really hard-earned money.
When he left the company, it was already past three in the afternoon. His company was in the north and Xiaoshan Airport was in the south. Even if it was not a holiday, some major roads in big cities would be congested, so this time was just right to go to the airport to pick him up...
Like Wang Yan's parents, Wei Lan's parents also came out of the exit with big bags and small bags. After the initial politeness and introductions, the three men took the messy things and got on the car to go into the city.
Renting a seven-seater business car was definitely a wise choice. Wang Yan drove, Wei Lan talked to the two pairs of parents in the back, acting as a bridge, and Wang Yan would occasionally interject a few words.
Zhang Xia is a typical Northeast woman who can speak vernacular. Although Wang Dong is usually taciturn, he can also say a few words at critical moments. Wei Qinglin is the leader of a state-owned enterprise unit, and he is naturally good at speaking and doing things. Li Mei's personality is not domineering and tricky, and she has her own cultivation. With the help of Wei Lan and Wang Yan's occasional guidance, they were very happy along the way. They were very familiar with each other.
They went all the way there, and first took a look at the newly bought house. Then they sent the things brought by Wei Qinglin and Li Mei back to the rental house, and then drove to the Jinsha Hall by the West Lake.
This restaurant is quite famous and very popular. If Wei Lan hadn't booked a private room long ago, it would be basically impossible to eat there immediately without some connections.
Wei Qinglin looked at the environment and looked at Wang Yan in reproach: "We are all family, why come to such an expensive place."
"Isn't this the first time our two families have a formal meal? You two elders and my parents have come here with great difficulty. We must eat and drink well. There is no such thing as expensive or not. If you have money, you can eat something good. If you don't have money, you two can't eat even if you want to. No matter how much money you have, it's all the intention of my son-in-law. Besides, you two elders have taken out 500,000 yuan. If I don't treat my son-in-law well, won't you blame me?"
"That's what I mean. When you two get married, it means our two families are together. You are the only son in your family, and we are the only girl in our family. It is said that a son-in-law is half a son. I will rely on you as my son for my retirement in the future. This 500,000 yuan is the retirement money I paid first, and I will give you a taste of the sweetness first."
Wang Dong interrupted on the side "My dear relatives, your offer is too sweet. It's hard for us as parents-in-law. You said we didn't give you any betrothal gifts, but you took out 500,000 yuan. It's really embarrassing."
"What are you talking about? You have raised a son like Wang Yan, which shows your ability. What are betrothal gifts and dowries for? Isn't it that both of our families pay some money to make their little family live. With Wang Yan's current income, it's not bad. Even if I don't pay, he doesn't lack it either, it's just icing on the cake. We don't have to worry about these things. Come on, serve the dishes, pour the wine, there are not so many rules, let's eat first. Otherwise, this big restaurant is not good, look at the boss's plate, just the little dish in the middle."
Wang Yan opened two bottles of Maozi and poured them into several wine decanters. Li Mei and Wei Lan didn't drink, so the rest was counted as Zhang Xia, one for each. Li Mei was quite surprised that Zhang Xia still drank, and out of embarrassment, she also poured herself a little to accompany. The Wang family can drink quite well. Not to mention Wang Yan, even Zhang Xia, who is the worst, drinks with Wang Dong every day.
The dishes were served one by one, and the conversation started. Li Mei asked, "Sister Zhang, I heard from Wei Lan that you asked someone to pick a date at home?"
Zhang Xia looked at Li Mei's red face and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it will be the eighth day of next month, which is October 3rd in the Gregorian calendar, which is the National Day. With the blessing of the country, good luck will come, and there will be no taboos. It's a great day. Isn't it good in your place?"
"How is it possible? It's like this all over the country, how can it be bad?" Li Mei shook her head and said, "Such a big thing, whether it works or not is another matter, it's better to find someone. No?"
"That's right, that's what I think. So from what I hear, mother-in-law, did you also ask someone to see it?"
"I saw it, how could I not see it. I counted two, the eleventh and the sixteenth, but since your side is the eighth, then our side will be the eleventh, the solar calendar is October 6th, and we are still on holiday. As you said, Hongyun is also on top. There are two days in between, enough time for communication, just right. Besides, Wang Yan is twenty-nine, and our Wei Lan is twenty-eight, and she is about to be thirty, so it's better to get married early and have children early. Speaking of children, you two should hurry up."
Li Mei glared at Wang Yan and the red-faced Wei Lan: "You are already this age, and you are not short of money. The country encourages having three children. You two should stop talking about careers being important. You must have children first. Try your best. Let's not talk about having three, but two, right?"
Zhang Xia also nodded: "Yes, it's better to have children earlier. You don't have to worry about no one taking care of them after they are born. We can both take care of them."
Wang Dong and Wei Qinglin, who were drinking, also nodded repeatedly. They all wanted to have a third generation as soon as possible.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I promise that I will give birth to a child as soon as possible. I will get pregnant this year and I will have the baby next year."
"Hey, that's what I want to say." Wei Qinglin nodded and laughed happily, "Aren't we done with it? We will do it in Longteng on the eighth day of next month, and we will do it in Chang'an on the eleventh day. Let's go back and make our own preparations. You two still have more than half a month left to take wedding photos and so on, and then our two families will have a good thing. Come on, in-laws, mother-in-law, and you two, let's have a drink together."
Just like Wei Qinglin said, this matter has been considered done. In fact, it's no big deal. Meeting the in-laws is just to see if the other party is a good person and whether they will cause trouble for the young couple in the future. Now the two parties are communicating happily, there are not many things, and they don't care much. One party has a house worth 9 million yuan in their name, and the other party doesn't want a gift but gives 500,000 yuan. There is nothing to say. Now the date is set, the in-laws have met, and they have a good chat. There is not much to say, and it can be over.
Of course, it's okay for the in-laws to dislike each other. After all, they are still a young couple, and the in-laws don't see each other once a year, so it's not a big problem.
Including wine and food, a meal costs less than 20,000 yuan, so of course they eat well and drink well. Wei Qinglin is knowledgeable and can roughly estimate how much money it costs. For couples like Wang Dong and Zhang Xia, they only count a few thousand yuan. Of course, Wang Yan won't tell them how much money it costs, otherwise they will be unable to sleep for several days and scold him for being a prodigal.
After going out to find a designated driver, he drove the two couples to the hotel and talked for a while. Wang Yan and Wei Lan left and returned to the rented house. They took the dog and cat out for a walk without stopping. It was more than eleven o'clock when they came back.
Wei Lan was slow to wash up, and Wang Yan and the guy who was looking at furniture on the flat panel were quick to wash up. It only took him ten minutes to finish.
Seeing him enter the room, Wei Lan, who was lying on the bed, turned over: "Ding ding ding, what do you see here?"
"The household registration book."
"My parents are leaving on Sunday night, and we will follow your parents on Monday morning, and we can register for the marriage certificate next Tuesday. Oh, by the way, shall we go take the photos for the marriage certificate tomorrow?"
"Of course, no problem." Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Actually, time is still a bit tight. We haven't prepared wedding photos yet, so it's a bit rushed. I told my mother before that the wedding date would be postponed to the end of next month, but she said that she had to take advantage of the National Day. While looking for someone to look after things, she also said long live the Communist Party."
"It doesn't matter, those are not very important, the most important thing is to get married. There will be plenty of time for taking pictures and so on in the future." Wei Lan was very considerate: "Or you bought the house too quickly, and we were busy making money all day before, so how could we have time to think so much. Now that we have really bought a house and the marriage is on the agenda, everything has been rushed together, and we found that everything was not planned before. I didn't prepare. Oh, by the way, both of our parents are here. After we go to see the car tomorrow, let's go find a wedding photographer to take pictures. The scenery in Lin'an is not bad. We can take wedding photos while we travel and see the scenery. What do you think? We don't need to take more pictures. We must have a family photo, right? "
"All up to you."
"Then I'll see which wedding photographer has a good reputation. "
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. To be honest, their photography skills are probably not as good as mine. You just need to find a company that is not so popular, can start working at any time, but has fewer negative reviews. I will tell him how to take pictures, and I can edit the pictures myself after taking them. Let's add a little money and ask them to speed up the progress. It will definitely be finished before the end of the month."
He never brags. His photography skills are level 4. He used to be a wedding photographer in the capital. Of course, he knows the level of those photographers in this industry. He said that he was probably keeping a low profile. After all, although he was LV4, he was at the top. When he had some experience, he would be able to advance to the level of a master. Although he was a little rusty after not taking photos for many years, he was not comparable to those people. So it is true that having many skills is good. Not only could he take photos of cats and dogs for Wei Lan to increase her fans, but now he can also use them on himself and take wedding photos for himself. How great.
Wei Lan recalled the smooth operation when Wang Yan took photos of cats and dogs and edited videos, and nodded vigorously: "How can you know so many things?"
"No way, how can you walk around the world without knowing a few tricks? I have a lot of skills waiting for you to discover."
"Is that right?"
Wei Lan rolled her eyes, took the tablet and started searching for wedding photography in Lin'an, her two white and rosy feet swaying back and forth, feeling happy...
Wei Lan was not a person who would dawdle, and both parents did not have many things to do. What they said was very straightforward. Wang Yan was also quick to act, so the next day, the original plan to visit West Lake was postponed. After breakfast, Wang Yan drove everyone to the 4S store for car sales. After test-driving several luxury brands, he ordered a domestic top-of-the-line black 5 Series, which cost less than 600,000 yuan. It would take two weeks to arrive just before the wedding.
Then I found a pretty good wedding photography company. First, I took the ID photos required for the marriage certificate, and then I went to the wedding shop to choose a few good wedding dresses, as well as the kind of red dress with Chinese embroidery in China. I took the photographer and the RV they sent to change clothes and rest, and set off to take pictures at the scenic spot.
The rest of the days were spent like that. I took pictures again, and both parents went around various places again. The experience was pretty good. As for the photographer who took pictures, it was an eye-opener. I had taken so many pictures, but I had never seen one who was so knowledgeable. After all, those who really know are generally in the photography circle. Even if it is not convenient for them to take pictures, they always have friends to help them. They can't find a photography company at all.
Wang Yan is a kind person. When he gives advice, he also imparts some knowledge. They are all very happy. After all, taking photos is worry-free, and they can learn and improve. They save post-processing. Not only do they have less work to do, but they can also make more money. What a good job, no matter how many come, it is not too much.
Time passed quickly. On Sunday afternoon, after seeing off Wei Qinglin and Li Mei who left happily, Wang Yan and Wei Lan returned to their hometown with Wang Dong and Zhang Xia the next day. On the third day, they lined up to register for the marriage certificate. Wei Lan posted a circle of friends to show off without saying a word, and Wang Yan also posted one. And started to contact friends. It doesn't matter whether people come or not. Gifts will always be received. Otherwise, wouldn't his previous gifts be in vain?
They didn't stay in Longcheng for a long time. Wang Dong and Zhang Xia didn't stop them. They both had to contact the hotel and notify relatives and friends. They were very busy. So the day after getting the certificate, Wang Yan and Wei Lan returned to Lin'an.
After taking photos for a few days, photographer Wang came online and processed the photos at a very fast speed. However, all the photos were processed in one day and sent to the photography studio. They will compile the photos into an album and enlarge the size so that they can be hung on the wall in the future. There are three copies in total, one for Wei Lan's parents, one for Wang Yan's parents, and one for them. It didn't cost a lot of money. After all, such major events in life, from birth to death, are not cheap.
After finishing these things, the two divided the work. Wei Lan went to buy furniture to decorate the new home, and Wang Yan ran to another house and rubbed the pills desperately.
Half a year has passed, and he kept his word and restored the original price to sell. Although the previous customers had complaints, there was nothing to do. Now it has spread, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. It's a complete seller's market, and Wang Yan has said it in advance. It used to be discounted, and it's no problem to restore it now.
There have been a lot of things recently, and the previous inventory has been sold out. Those who are desperate for health and have run out of medicine have already started to urge. Wang Yan does nothing but keep rubbing pills. Occasionally go out to deal with the matter of buying a house.
It was also at this time that the news of the living father arrived.
"Jiang Pengfei in "The Golden Years": I don't want to die."
Wang Yan stopped what he was doing, found his phone, opened the app, and started watching the TV series "The Golden Years".
The Golden Years is mainly about...
It took two days, Wang Yan watched while working, and finally finished watching this 38-episode series, and also knew which character Jiang Pengfei was. He was the father of the heroine Jiang Nansun, a man who lost his family fortune playing stocks, and the only one who died in the play. Before his death, he had never worked or suffered in his life, and he couldn't stand the huge gap, so it was normal for him to die.
This task is not difficult and is easy to solve. The time span is not long, just three to five years. Go in for a walk, come back to get married and start a family, it's good.
Now the new house has been decorated almost, and the transaction of the house has actually been completed. The real estate certificates with the names of the two people and the mortgage stamp are in hand, but the money from the owner has not arrived yet, it's just a matter of time.
The wedding photos are expedited and have been completed, and the sets for the parents of both families have been sent by express delivery. I have called to pick up the car I ordered before.
It can be said that everything is ready, except for the wedding advertisements and friends and relatives. It is perfect.
Throwing the phone aside, Wang Yan went to the bathroom to wash his hands, drank some water, stretched his arms and legs to exercise his muscles.
With a move of consciousness, he pulled out the operation panel and added four points of spirit to refresh himself.
Shaking his head in boredom, he operated the selection, and the familiar blue light appeared, flashed, and disappeared...
