Considering that I don’t have quilts when I live back home, I had better roll up the No. 57 quilt and tie it with a rope, ready to carry it back.

Jin Lily looked at Mu Yi with some confusion. "Don't you have a quilt at home?"

Mu Yi smiled awkwardly.

"Not only is there no quilt, there is no bed either."

"Then where will you sleep?"

"I'll sleep upstairs."

"Putting paving on the floor?"

"Roughly the same."

"Then I'm really curious. Why don't you take me to have a look?"

"Let's talk about it." Mu Yi did not immediately agree to Jin Lily, because Mu Yi was very conflicted. He wanted to take Jin Lily to see the place where he lived at home, which had too many memories of his growth. However,

, deep down in Mu Yi’s heart, there is some inferiority. He doesn’t know what kind of chain reaction it will have if Jin Lily sees the condition of his home now. He is even a little worried, if Jin Lily sees that the conditions at home are so poor

If so, you won't be very disappointed.

"What's wrong? You don't want me to go to your house?" Jin Lily asked Mu Yi half-jokingly.

"No. No one is mentally prepared to take you back so suddenly. I'd better tell the adults before I go back today."

"Okay. An ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. Hehehe..."

Because the two of them seemed to be carrying too much stuff. The main reason was that Mu Yi’s quilt seemed to take up a lot of space, and the conductor even charged him a double fare. In fact, there were too many people on the bus carrying bamboo baskets to buy New Year’s goods.

Everyone was also charged double fares. This is easy to understand, after all, it is the "Spring Festival".

The two of them squeezed into the bus, and the master started the bus. Looking out of the window, they saw people rushing behind the bus like a tide. The moment the next bus stopped and opened the door, there was a rush of people.

Mu Yi and two hands supported the handrails on the bus and surrounded Jin Lily in the middle, providing her with a small "safety island" to prevent her from being squeezed by crowded passengers.

Because there were no more people on the road, the speed of the car was much faster than the usual stop-and-go, with people getting on and off at any time. However, when the car drove to Longzhong Town, some passengers got off, and the car suddenly felt a little more relaxed, but

It was still crowded. Soon we crossed Xianqiao again and reached Jinjia Avenue. Jin Baihe got off the bus and went back. Mu Yi had to go to the terminal before getting off.

My parents and brothers were very happy to see Mu Yi back.

"Boss, are you on vacation?"

"Dad, the holiday doesn't start until the first day of the Lunar New Year. But I asked for leave. Work has not been very regular these days. Basically, everyone has not gone to the office."

"Boss, this job is hard to come by. If someone doesn't go, you won't go either. If something happens and someone has connections and background, there will be someone to help you and get over it. You are from a poor family.

Baby, you can’t compare to others.”

The old father was a little worried about Mu Yi. He didn't know the specific work situation, but expressed his care and concern for his child based on his own life experience.

"Old man Mu, you worry about this and that all day long. Boss, he doesn't know what to do yet." Mother said to her father. Then she asked Mu Yi: "Boss, have you eaten?" Mother was also concerned.

Qi Muyi, have you eaten yet?

"Mom, I just came back after eating a bowl of beef noodles with Lily on the street."

When Mu Yi said the name "Lily", the whole family looked at Mu Yi in surprise. It was the mother who spoke first.

"Boss? Who is Lily? This name sounds very much like a girl's name."

Mu Yi was about to tell his parents about Golden Lily. Since his mother asked, he started talking.

"Dad, Mom. I was just going to tell you about this. Jin Lily is the girlfriend I'm looking for. Her family is also from Datang, on Jinjia Road."

Father said "Oh" thoughtfully, and then asked: "What are her parents' names, do you know?"

"Her father's name is Jin Chongming, who is an animal husbandry veterinarian. Her mother's name is Zhang Xuefen, who was married to Datang from Chengguan and makes wine at home. She also has a younger brother named Yuan Kaiqing, who is in high school at Xigui No. 1 Middle School."

"Yuan Kaiqing?" Brother Jun shouted excitedly.

"Do you know him?" Mu Yi asked quickly.

"Of course we know each other. We are classmates, and everyone calls him Xiaoqing, right?"

"What if they have the same name?" Xiaojie said.

"There shouldn't be any chance. Xiaoqing's family is also from the Jin family. There are two sisters, and his family also bakes wine. It's just..."

"Just what?" Xiaojie asked again.

"I just heard from my eldest brother that my sister's name is Jin Baihe and my brother's name is Yuan Kaiqing. Why don't the two sisters have the same surname?"

The mother also looked at Mu Yi with some doubts. "That's right. Boss, the adults in their family are not a 'half-way couple', right?"

"No." Although Mu Yi said no, he still had some doubts in his heart. Why didn't he ask Jin Lily what the reason was?

At this time, the father said tactfully: "This is easy to understand. As soon as the boss said the name Jin Lily, I guessed that she was from Jin's Dalu. Then the boss said that her father's name is Jin Chongming, and he is an animal husbandry and veterinarian, so that's the right number.

Yes. Their family must have returned to the religion."

"Return to the clan?"

"Oh. It should be that their ancestor's original surname was Yuan. Later, they were adopted by the Jin family, so they took the surname Jin. By this generation, they must be three generations old, so they still have the surname Yuan."

From here we can see some traces of patriarchal preference. This also makes it easy to understand why Jin Lily did not have the surname Yuan, but Yuan Kaiqing did.

"Then everyone take action and tidy up the house. Let the boss bring her back, and we adults will also take a look. If appropriate, we will get engaged for you while everyone is in the house during the Spring Festival.

This will make it easier for you to come and go and prevent others from gossiping."

"Boss, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow. Go and invite Jin Lily down to have some fun."

Both parents asked Jin Lily to come down and play. Mu Yi said, "Then I'll call her and let her know. I'll see if it's convenient for her to come down and play." Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call. Jin Lily wholeheartedly agreed.

.

In order to leave a good impression on Jin Lily, the family divided the work to carry out preparation work. The most important thing was to clean up the house. Although it had already been dusted, it was cleaned again. In order to prepare for Jin Lily's arrival tomorrow,

When I saw that my home was "bright", I took off the old and yellowed newspapers that were plastered on the walls and floor of the main room, and put clean newspapers on them again...

Mu Yi also went to the second floor to clean his suspended ceiling and put a layer of newspaper on the walls. Then he made the "bed".

Everything is ready, just waiting for Jin Lily to come down for the "New Year's Eve dinner" tomorrow, New Year's Eve.

The next day, Jin Lily helped her mother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner at home early. Then she quietly asked her mother for leave in the kitchen.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's going on?"

"Well, I'm going to play in the Wattang later."

"Today is New Year's Eve, why are you going to Wattang to play?"

"It was Muyi who asked me to go to his house and have some fun."

"Muyi? You have a boyfriend?"

Jin Lily bit her lip and said "hmm".

"What kind of person is he? What does his family do? What is his family situation like?..."

Jin Baihe answered her mother's questions one by one. After that, her mother asked again: "How does he treat you?"

"Mom, he is very, very good to his daughter, really good."

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Zhang Xuefen stopped saying anything. It was regarded as acquiescing to her daughter. However, she was still a little worried, so she said again: "Then I'm afraid you should tell your father about this matter."

Jin Lily felt a little embarrassed, but she would have to pass this test sooner or later.

Jin Lily refilled her father's teacup with boiling water and said, "Dad, I'm going to a friend's house in Wattang later."

Father Jin Chongming said somewhat casually: "It's New Year's Eve, why are you going to play at your friend's house?"

At this time, the mother took over the words. "You are the same, why do you have so many questions? When your daughter is old, she should have her own friends. It's good to go and have fun, so as to learn more about it. Lily, go and have fun.

Yours. Just come back early. Don’t spend the night at other people’s houses.”

Jin Lily got permission from her family, and Mu Yi's phone call came in. "Lily, I've arrived at your door. Can you come out easily?"

"It's convenient. I'll be out right away." After saying that, Jin Lily said goodbye to her parents and ran out of the house happily.

The younger brother was standing by the stove under the eaves, concentrating on stirring the paste for the door god couplets. He heard the conversation between his parents and his sister. He also knew that his sister must have gone to Mu Yi's brother's house. He didn't know why.

, suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, as if his sister was leaving home just like this. He whispered a little aggrievedly: "Sister, please come back soon."

"OK."

Jin Lily walked out of the house and saw Mu Yi pushing a bicycle, standing by the road at the door, walking forward quickly.

"Are you going to get on the 'living car' or the 'dead car'?"

"If I can't get on the 'living carriage', I'd better get on the 'dead carriage'."

Mu Yi held the bike's handle steady, and waited for Jin Lily to climb onto the back seat, then slowly slid the bike out, slid a few steps, and took advantage of the inertia to get on the bike. The front of the bike shook a bit, and Mu Yi

He quickly stabilized the car. Jin Lily naturally hugged Mu Yi's waist from behind. Mu Yi was extremely happy.

The two excitedly told each other what they had told their families, and happily arrived at the Mu family.

"Dad, Mom, this is Golden Lily."
