This year, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year's Eve. Jin Lily followed Mu Yi to Wattang for New Year's Eve dinner as last year, and then they went back to Jinjia Road for New Year's Eve dinner.

After having New Year's Eve dinner with Mu's family, the two of them were going back to Jin's main road.

"Sister Baihe. You guys will go up in a while. Let's discuss it with your parents. If it's suitable, I'll take the horoscope on the third day of the first lunar month."

"Okay. Ma'am, we're going back. Let Mu Yi speak."

The two of them hurried back to Jin's main road, where Jin's mother was very busy.

Upon seeing this, Jin Lily and Mu quickly put on their aprons and came to the kitchen to help.

"Mom, just now, when we were having dinner down there, my mother-in-law mentioned that, if appropriate, on the third day of the first lunar month, their family would like to take away the eight characters."

"Okay. Mom doesn't have any objections. After dinner later, Mu Yi will tell your uncle again."

"Okay. Thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you for what you say. Silly boy, as long as you are nice to my Lily. You must live up to your expectations and don't let others see our jokes."

"Okay. Ma'am, please don't worry. I won't let you down."

Soon, a large New Year's Eve dinner was ready. Mother Jin was busy worshiping the gods first.

On the candlestick under the statue of the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, red incense candles have been lit, and the TV is playing a festive program to celebrate the Spring Festival...

After worshiping the gods, Jin’s father called everyone, “Come, come, come, everyone, sit down and have the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

This is the second New Year's Eve that Mu Yi has passed by Jin's home. Thinking that he and Jin Lily will be engaged soon, Mu Yi feels very excited.

Mu Yi held up the wine glass with both hands and said: "Uncle, maid, I respect you. I wish you good health and great wealth."

Jin's father and Jin's mother raised their glasses and said with smiles on their faces: "Mu Yi, I also wish you success in your work and all the best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yi quickly clinked glasses with Jin's father and Jin's mother. After clinking glasses, Mu Yi was about to drink up the full glass of white wine.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Jin quickly said: "Yaoyao. Drink slowly, drink slowly."

Dad Jin also said: "Drink wine slowly and eat food slowly. Don't get drunk in two gulps."

Jin Lily also said: "I'm not a good drinker, but I also like to drink a lot. I'm not reluctant to give you a drink."

Mu Yi giggled. "I didn't expect it. Dear uncle and maid, I have to be completely satisfied."

Dad Jin: “Just say haha ​​and that’s it.”

"Then I'll drink half of it."

"Oh, right."

"Come on, Xiaoqing. I wish you a happy new year and make progress in your studies."

Xiaoqing picked up a cup of Coke and smiled shyly: "Brother, I wish you success in your work and a happy life."

"Sayuri, come here, I respect you."

Jin Lily picked up the wine glass: "Brother, if you toast me, I'll pour you a glass of wine."

"Sayuri, I wish you a happy new year and happiness every day."

"Brother, I wish you all your wishes come true and all the best."

The two clinked their glasses and drained the wine.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. Don't drink alcohol. You still need to eat some vegetables. Look at such a big table. Let's eat quickly." Jin's mother advised everyone to eat vegetables quickly and put some food in Mu Yi's bowl.

I ordered a large dish with chopsticks.

Mu Yi was a little flattered. "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

"Brother, let's respect our parents together."

At Jin Lily's suggestion, Mu Yi quickly filled up the wine glasses of Jin's father and Jin's mother, and then filled up their glasses again.

"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard. I wish you a happy New Year and all the best."

"We also wish you a happy new year and smooth work."

After toasting, Jin Lily reminded Mu Yi, "Brother, don't you have something to tell your parents?"

Dad Jin looked at Jin Lily with some confusion. "Oh, Mu Yi, do you have something to say to us? Don't be embarrassed to say it."

"It's like this. When we were having dinner down there just now, my family asked me to see what you think. If possible, pick a day in the past few days to get the 'Bazi' for us."

When Dad Jin heard this, he said "Oh", picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and pondered for a moment. He said slowly: "That's right. It's rare for your parents to come back. They only have time during the Spring Festival."

.You might as well take the 'Bazi'. It will make it easier for you two to move around."

Seeing that Jin's father had no objection, Jin's mother also said: "Today is the evening of the 30th. There are no other things to do on the first or second day of the lunar new year. I can only choose after the third day of the lunar new year."

Mu Yi thought that if they could get engaged on the third day of the Lunar New Year, their father and the others would not be affected if they left on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Brother, uncle, they seem to be going back to Chengdu on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, right?" Jin Lily suddenly remembered that Mu Yi had said that his father went out every year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

"This is generally the case. It's just that this year's situation is special, so we can postpone our departure for a few days."

Mother Jin said: "Let's go to the third grade of junior high school. Let's see if you can win?"

Dad Jin: "Well, have a good day in the third grade of junior high school."

Mu Yiyi heard what the two adults said, and it was obvious that they were showing sympathy. He said, "Thank you first, uncle and aunt. I will go back soon and tell my family that the time will be on the third day of the lunar new year. The one who 'takes the eight characters'

How to fulfill the rules?"

"Yaoyao! This depends on your family. Anyway, there are 'rules' there. No matter how much your family brings, it is your face. We won't ask for a penny from you.

You can rest assured about this." Jin's mother said grandly.

"Yes. Yaoyao. It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as you have a meaning. Those old rules are too complicated and don't mean much. As long as you two are good, we don't have any objections.

"

Mu Yi was really touched by what Jin's father and Jin's mother said. He did not expect that things would go so smoothly. He also did not expect that Jin Lily's parents were so generous. Not only did they not embarrass themselves, they did not have any specific requirements for gifts, or even

He also told himself very clearly that he would not ask for a penny. Thinking about other friends, getting engaged, and getting married would cost a lot of money. Mu Yi was grateful to Father Jin and Mother Jin from the bottom of his heart.

But how should we fulfill this "rule" that has no specific requirements? Although we have already stated that we will not ask for a penny or a penny, it is not an exaggeration to ask the Mu family to get one hundred and eighty thousand. But we really want to get one hundred and eighty thousand.

Wan, Mu Yi and his family will definitely not be able to come up with it. "If you want to send it, you can't get away from eight", you will definitely not be able to come up with eight hundred, and you will definitely not be able to come up with eighty thousand, so there is only eight thousand left.

Mu Yi looked at Jin Lily, then turned his head, looked at Jin's mother with some anxiety, and said carefully: "Well, uncle, do you think this is okay? I have been working for a few years every month.

A hundred yuan salary, living expenses, favors, etc., and the remaining money was used to study. Basically, I didn’t save any money. My family used to support our studies, and we borrowed a lot of money. Although we paid it back last year.

, Now that Brother Jun is still studying, he still has to spend money."

"Yes. Yaoyaoah. We understand. It is very expensive for the family to provide education for the children." Jin's mother took the sentence.

"That's what I think. If your family has money, you should get a hundred or eighty thousand. But, you really can't get it out. If you want to make yourself look fat, you can borrow money to make yourself look good. Then, it will still be me.

I'll pay it back myself. Even if you don't want a penny, I still have to bear a large amount of interest. This will still have some burden on Sayuri and our future lives. I want to do what I can and use 8,000 yuan as a gift. At least.

It's a little less, but this way our burden will be lighter in the future. Do you think it's okay?" Mu Yi actually felt very difficult when he said these words. He felt that his throat was a little stiff.

Jin’s father raised his wine glass and motioned for Mu Yi to leave. Mu Yi quickly picked up his own wine glass and touched it gently with him.

"Yao Yao. I'll do what you said. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. Don't borrow money. Don't bring accounts. You should be more relaxed in the future. Don't have any psychological burden. The date is set for the third day of the lunar new year. Then you can

Come up early with the matchmaker. On the way here and on the way back, no matter who you meet, don't talk to them, and don't look back. I'll write Lily's 'horoscope' for you and take it back to your home.

I'm going to find someone to "combine my horoscopes". Once I've done the horoscopes, I'll choose a good day and arrange the wedding for you."

Mu Yi could see that Jin's father was trying his best to suppress his emotions, and then tried to give Mu Yi some "pointers" as calmly as possible.

"The matchmaker you arranged seems to be Second Sister Yu. You need to tell her about this. You will have to come up from your house early in the morning." Jin's mother hurriedly reminded Mu Yi.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, things were settled. Mu Yi and Jin Lily were both very happy. However, neither Mu Yi nor Jin Lily noticed that Jin's father and Jin's mother were in a low mood.

Mu Yi and Jin Baihe came to Brother Yu's house next door and told Sister Tian about the matter. Sister Tian was also happy for the two of them and agreed to come to Mu's family early on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

After leaving Sister Tian's house, the two returned to Jin Baihe's house.

Mu Yi reported excitedly: "Uncle, aunt, we have all agreed with Sister Tian. She readily agreed."

"That's good. That's good."

"Then I'm going down. I'll tell my family when I get back."

"Brother, are you going down?"

"Um."

"Slow down on the road. Is it okay to have a drink?" Jin's father asked with concern.

"no problem."

"It's getting dark. You'd better go down with the flashlight." Jin's mother said, getting up and giving the flashlight to Mu Yi. Jin Lily sent Mu Yi out of the courtyard. The two hugged. "Brother, then

Come over early tomorrow. Let’s go play in Guanyin Water together.”

"OK."

Mu Yi was so excited that he almost ran back to Wattang.

As soon as he entered the house, Mu Yi saw his mother watching TV and his father and brother Xiao Jiejun playing a game of landlords. Mu Yi walked over and said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, Jin Baihe's family has agreed. The date is set."
