()Section 11 is officially here

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, my workplace was on holiday, and I was completely relaxed. I had to go home first and discuss with my parents about the official visit. For such a big matter, I had better listen to my parents' opinions.

"Mom, Dad, sister, I'm back!" I said loudly as I entered the house.

"Son, are you on vacation?" Mom asked in surprise.

I nodded seriously.

"Where's dad, where's my sister?" I asked when I saw my mother was the only one at home.

"They went to town to buy things for the New Year." Mom answered.

"Why are you buying so many things? The work unit has basically given out all the things for the Chinese New Year. Director Feng said that I have made a special contribution this year and specially gave me a lot of extra things. The driver, Lao Yang, even gave me a lot of things.

I left after being sent to Wanzi Kuanzi. Mom, please help me get the things. There are too many and I can’t carry them." I said proudly.

"Okay, okay!" Mom responded hurriedly.

We went out and walked towards the entrance of Wanzi.

Along the way, I met many people in the bay again, and I was busy exchanging cigarettes and saying hello, just like when I came back.

"Fourth Aunt, what are you doing with A Liu?" cousin A Jun said.

"Jun, your brother A Liu's work unit sent something to Wanzi intersection. I'll go get it with him." Mom answered.

"Brother Jun, help me get it too." I said while handing over the cigarette.

"Okay." Brother Jun agreed simply.

When we arrived at the intersection, my father and sister happened to be back. My sister saw me coming back and ran over, "Brother, you're back!"

I touched her head and said:

"If I don't come back for a few months, will you grow taller again?"

The younger sister nodded happily.

"Dad, you're back." I hurriedly greeted Dad again and shared the cigarettes.

"Yes. Whose things are these? There are so many of them, lying on the roadside." Dad answered me and asked.

"This is from your son's work unit!" the mother said.

"Oh." Dad's voice came out.

It took the five of us two trips to carry home the things my work gave us and the things my father and sister bought from the street.

At dinner time in the evening, we ate and talked.

I told them one by one about several cases I had solved.

My parents were very happy when they heard that I had solved so many major cases and made meritorious deeds as soon as I started working. They even pestered me to tell me how I solved the cases.

I had to briefly talk about some of the circumstances of solving the case.

After the meal was finished, my parents and I sat together again, while my sister was washing the dishes.

"Son, have you told Wanfang's parents about the door-to-door engagement?" Mom spoke first.

"I told you, they said we're going there on the first day of the Lunar New Year and just get some cigarettes, wine and candies."

"How can that be okay? Didn't I tell you that I wanted to get money? Didn't you say that?!" Mom was anxious.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. As I said, their whole family did not agree to take the money. Later, I told you your opinion and said that you must take the money. Finally, Fang's mother told her to take the money.

Two thousand yuan." I comforted my mother.

"This is too little. Your mother-in-law is really saving money for you. I asked others and it is common for people in the city to bring 4,000 yuan in gift money." Mom said with a smile.

"Then we will also give you a gift of four thousand yuan." Dad said.

"My child's father, you see they are so considerate of us, we have to do a decent job, just get five thousand, what do you think? Money is not a problem, the money A Liu gave us is enough.

It’s done.” Mom said.

"Is this necessary?" Dad asked.

"Yes, you see, their family only has one child, Wanfang, and they are from a cadre family. We have to help her save face," the mother said.

"As long as you say it's okay," Dad said.

"We will go to town to buy things for you tomorrow." Mom arranged.

"No, my mother-in-law said you can just go to Fang's work unit to buy it." I replied. I never dared to tell my parents about selling fake wine, and Wanfang also told me not to go home.

"That's okay, the stuff from their business bureau is always good." Mom replied.

"The child's father, early tomorrow morning, I will go back to my parents' house to talk to my uncle and uncle and ask them to accompany A Liu to the house to recognize their relatives on New Year's Day. You can talk to Jun later.

Come with me." Mom arranged.

On the twenty-nine, I got up early and rushed to the county seat.

When I arrived at Fang's house, it was already ten o'clock and she hadn't gotten up yet. I asked her to get up quickly and accompany me to go shopping. She just refused to get up and insisted that I sleep with her. She also said that if I didn't accompany her,

She would not get up while she was sleeping, so I had to go to bed. Then she told me:

"Don't look at what time it is now. It's the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and our unit is already on holiday. Where can someone sell you something?"

"Then what should I do?" I was anxious.

"Kiss me again, and if you make me feel comfortable, I will have a solution." Wanfang said with a smile.

We hugged each other and kissed again. When we were tired of kissing, we let go.

"I've prepared this for you, you can just take it home," Wanfang said.

"Oh, no wonder you're not in a hurry." I finally understood.

"My mother told me to bring five thousand yuan as a gift." I said truthfully.

"Why do you need so much money? In the county, a door-to-door marriage fee usually only costs 4,000 yuan. Why do you have to pay so much?" Wanfang became anxious.

"My mother said that you are the only child in your family, so I want to help you save face." I explained.

"Haha, my mother-in-law will really consider me." Wanfang said with a smile, paused, and then said:

"I've collected the five thousand yuan. I have three thousand yuan here. You have to collect it and take it back. Mom said she can only let you bring two thousand yuan."

"No need for this, my mother has already prepared it." I said hurriedly.

"Am I your wife?" Wanfang suddenly changed the subject.

"Hey, you want to regret it?" I said with a smile.

"A Liu, we are all like this. I call you husband, you call me wife, and your parents treat you as their son. Do we still want to separate from each other?" Wanfang said seriously.

"This will definitely not work, and my mother will definitely scold me. Just don't make it difficult for me, okay?" I was also anxious.

"Husband, please don't talk about this issue. Your task now is to sleep well with your wife and be intimate with her, okay?" Wanfang said.

We slept until lunchtime before getting up. After lunch, Wanfang refused to go out to play and went back to sleep. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wanfang took me to the station to take the bus home.

As expected, my mother disagreed with this opinion.

"Aliu, didn't Mom make it clear to you?!" Mom's tone was obviously blaming.

"I told you your opinion, but Fang doesn't agree with it, and neither does my mother-in-law." I explained hurriedly.

"Silly son, both of them are thinking about you. Their family is not short of money, but we are going to her house to get engaged. Son, this is your life event. We can't lose such a good mother.

The girl’s family.” Mom said.

"Then I'll give the money back." I was also a little unhappy.

"Silly son, why are you so smart when handling cases? You can come up with ideas that others don't think of, but why are you so confused about this matter?" Mom said with a smile.

"I listen to you, but Fang is unhappy; I listen to Fang, but you are unhappy, so it's really difficult for me." I shook my head and said.

"Can't you make both of them happy?" Mom continued to say with a smile.

"I want to make you all happy, but I have no choice. I can only choose one of the two." I still shook my head.

"You said you were so good at solving crimes, I really don't believe it. You added up the two people's money and we were all happy?" Mom finally came up with her idea.

"Mom, you are so smart, why did you give birth to a son who is so stupid like me?" When I heard that this was a good idea, I also laughed.

My mother also told me to pay attention to details and etiquette.

On the 30th, New Year's Eve, our family gathered together again, drank and ate, and everyone was very happy.

In 1996, the Year of the Rat, February 19th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was very excited to officially come to visit today. I got up early in the morning. My uncle and uncle came early in the morning, and Brother Jun also came early in the morning.

My mother gave the money to her uncle, and asked Brother Jun to bring some candy, cigarettes, wine, etc., and gave each of them a red envelope. The four of us set off for Wanfang's house.

On the street, I bought two more large bouquets of roses.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Fang standing there. I quickly went up and introduced everyone.

After the introduction, Fang shouted upstairs:

"Mom, Dad, A Liu and the others are here!"
