Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

In that instant, no bicycle or motorcycle could compare to this jeep.

Unfortunately, no one knows who owns the car, so He Yushui can only dream about it.

Just as He Yushui was saying goodbye to Wang Fengxia and preparing to leave, Wang Lin came out carrying his two younger sisters.

The two mythical beasts were dressed up beautifully today. Wang Lin had already mastered how to comb and tie their hair, thanks to the system's daily check-in system, which even had skill cards for this skill.

"Aunt Wang, Aunt Fan, let's get in the car and go." Wang Lin put the two mythical beasts on the ground and opened the back door of the jeep.

"Xiao Lin! Is this car yours?" Wang Fengxia stared wide-eyed in shock, asking in disbelief.

"My God!" exclaimed the matchmaker, Fan.

"No! It's a friend's. He's going to propose today, so he's just here to make a good impression," Wang Lin explained with a smile.

"I see!" Although Wang Fengxia heard Wang Lin say this, she couldn't find out whether what Wang Lin said was true or false, after all, she was just a small director of a street office.

"Guoguo, I will take good care of Beibei." Wang Baobao, sitting in the back seat, did not forget to reassure Wang Lin.

“I’m the one who took care of you,” Wang Beibei retorted, pouting.

"Alright, alright, you two just need to take good care of yourselves." Wang Lin patted the two girls' heads.

Wang Fengxia sat in the back seat, helping Wang Lin take care of the two mythical beasts.

As for the matchmaker, Fan, she sat in the front. It was also the first time that the young woman, Shang Jiao, had sat in the passenger seat of a car. She was excited, touching and looking around. This was the peak moment of her matchmaking career.

In the future, when someone comes to propose marriage, if you mention this successful case, they will look at you with more respect and will speak to you in a flattering manner.

Just as Wang Lin was about to get into the driver's seat, He Yushui ran over and stopped him, saying, "Wang Lin, can you give me a ride? I've never ridden in a car before."

Dude, are you going on a blind date with me?

Wang Lin smiled and politely declined, saying, "Yu Shui, I've come to propose marriage today, not to go out and have fun, so I apologize."

When He Yushui heard with her own ears that Wang Lin was going to propose marriage, she was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

What kind of girl could make Wang Lin so infatuated?

Has Wang Lin forgotten how much he has liked her all these years?

Seeing that He Yushui still hadn't moved aside, Wang Lin had no choice but to speak frankly: "Yushui, there are plenty of good men out there, why hang yourself on one tree?"

He Yushui, her voice trembling with tears, told Wang Lin, "But I regret it."

Seeing He Yushui's state, Wang Lin replied emotionlessly, "Feelings can't be forced, and there's no going back." With that, he gently pushed He Yushui aside and got into the car.

He Yushui cried. She finally realized what she had lost: an exceptionally good man!

Wang Lin started the car; he had already used the driving skill card long ago, and the entire sequence of actions flowed smoothly, almost subconsciously.

The jeep slowly started moving, and Wang Lin accelerated it, causing it to quickly enter the main road.

In those days, there weren't many private cars, so the roads were very wide, and cars could be parked anywhere.

Chapter 159 The marriage is settled, Wang Lin gives out New Year's money.

Wang Lin saw He Yushui crying in the rearview mirror, but he did not soften his heart because of her tears.

When it comes to matters of the heart, you have to cut things off quickly.

The matchmaker in the passenger seat, Fan, had seen plenty of these kinds of complicated love triangles.

Wang Fengxia sighed from the back seat, "Yushui is actually a very nice girl, but unfortunately she has an unreliable father and brother."

Wang Lin didn't respond to Wang Fengxia's words. Even if He Yushui became more outstanding, she was still He Yushui, and it had nothing to do with him, Wang Lin. After all, how could He Yushui compare to the goddess's fragrance?

The car drove along the road, attracting envious glances from passersby.

Wang Lin parked the car at the entrance of Zhang Jiao's courtyard and said to the people in the car, "We've arrived."

After everyone got off the car, Wang Lin carried all the pig legs and lamb legs on his shoulders from the back of the car, and also carried some gifts for the visitors in his hands.

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei were too young to help Wang Lin, so they could only hold hands and follow beside him.

When Wang Fengxia and the matchmaker Fan saw that Wang Lin was carrying so much meat, especially the big pig's leg and lamb's leg, they wondered if he didn't want it.

When I stepped into the yard, Zhang Jiao's neighbors were all at home making dumplings to prepare lunch.

People in the south eat glutinous rice balls on the first day of the Lunar New Year, while people in the north make dumplings.

Wang Lin was a southerner in his previous life, but he also liked to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Boom boom boom!"

Wang Lin knocked on Zhang Jiao's door.

The door opened quickly. Zhang Jiao had dressed up specially today, drawing her eyebrows and applying a little red to brighten her complexion.

Zhang Jiao, who was already very beautiful, now looks even more like that goddess.

Wang Lin's heart began to race, and for a moment he forgot what to say.

Zhang Jiao's mother's voice rang out from behind her: "Silly child, what are you doing blocking the doorway? Let Xiao Wang in!"

Zhang Jiao then realized what was happening and opened the door.

After carrying pig legs and lamb legs into Zhang Jiao's house, Wang Lin said to Zhang's parents, "Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! I've come to wish you a Happy New Year."

When Zhang's father saw Wang Lin carrying such large legs, he quickly stepped forward to lend a hand, saying, "You came all this way, but you brought such big, fleshy legs! This must have cost a lot of money."

Wang Lin said with a smile, "I knew the people, so it didn't cost much money."

When Zhang's father took the ham, he realized it was very heavy. He struggled to carry it down and found a place to put it.

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhang Xiao immediately popped out, and his greeting of "brother-in-law" pleased Wang Lin, who then gave Zhang Xiao a red envelope.

Zhang Min didn't call Wang Lin "brother-in-law," but instead called him "brother."

Wang Lin didn't pay any attention and simply gave Zhang Min a red envelope.

Zhang's mother warmly welcomed them, saying, "Please sit down."

Zhang Jiao had told them in advance that Wang Lin would come to pay a New Year's visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year and also propose marriage. So the Zhang family had already borrowed all the chairs they could from the neighbors, just in case Wang Lin brought too many people and there wouldn't be enough room for them. But thankfully, Wang Lin only brought two adults and one child.

"This girl is really beautiful. No wonder our Xiao Lin insists on marrying you. You two are a perfect match."

Wang Fengxia came with Wang Lin to support him, after all, she was a director, and also from the street office.

"That's right, I'm here today to propose marriage on behalf of Xiao Wang. He has no adults in his family, so he can make all the decisions. All the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to the three essential items for marriage) are included." Matchmaker Fan quickly explained the marriage proposal.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang exchanged a glance. They agreed with Zhang Jiao and Wang Lin's relationship, but still asked, "Will your family members show up when the time comes, Xiao Wang?"

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, my grandfather will definitely come."

Wang Lin is currently only eighteen years old (nineteen by the traditional Chinese age reckoning), not yet twenty, so he cannot register for the time being.

However, in this day and age, as long as you have some connections, it's a minor issue, as long as both the man and woman's parents agree.

It wasn't that Wang Lin couldn't wait, but he was afraid that things might change if he delayed.

Marrying him sooner will allow Wang Lin to focus on his work and life with peace of mind.

When Zhang's parents heard that Wang Lin's maternal grandfather would be there, they nodded in agreement.

Matchmaker Fan felt that she hadn't put in any effort at all before agreeing to the marriage, which was much simpler than she had imagined, as if she were just going through the motions.

Next came the discussion of the bride price, but this was no problem at all. Wang Lin gave far too much. Even though Zhang's parents thought it was too extravagant, they had no choice but to accept it, since Wang Lin was just too domineering.

At noon, they made dumplings. To entertain Wang Lin, Zhang's father shamelessly borrowed a lot of meat from his workplace. This meat would have to be returned after the New Year, but fortunately, Wang Lin had brought a pig's leg and a lamb's leg, so there was still plenty of meat left over. There was no need to worry about not being able to pay it back.

Wang Lin was helping Zhang Jiao in the kitchen, and he specifically told Zhang Jiao to add something he had brought: "Jiao, add some oyster sauce to the soup, it will enhance the flavor."

"Okay." Zhang Jiao chose to trust unconditionally, added the dark oyster sauce to her soup base, and then stirred it.

Zhang's parents watched the two busy in the kitchen from outside, and they were naturally overjoyed. Their son-in-law, Wang Lin, was not only capable but also a good cook, and most importantly, he doted on Zhang Jiao.

As parents, don't we all hope that our children will marry for love and be loved by someone?

Wang Lin's actions displayed a display of affection that made Wang Fengxia, the matchmaker, and others extremely envious. Thinking of their own partners, they realized that without comparison, there would be no harm; compared to Wang Lin, they were nothing.

Seeing his third sister smiling so happily, Zhang Xiao, as her younger brother, was also happy. However, more than being happy, Zhang Xiao secretly glanced at the red envelope Wang Lin had given him, and it turned out to be a 100-yuan note. This made him so happy that he almost jumped for joy.

Zhang Min, the fifth sister, is rather dull, as if nothing else concerns her, and she focuses solely on studying.

After finishing their meal, Wang Fengxia and Matchmaker Fan should head back. The two left together, not wanting to be rude and stay for dinner, especially since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and relatives would be coming to visit and they would need to entertain them.

In the afternoon, Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei, the two mythical beasts, set off firecrackers in the yard with Zhang Xiao and Zhang Min, the siblings. Of course, the firecrackers were the kind that make a loud bang when they hit the ground and sparklers that Wang Lin gave them; Wang Lin wouldn't dare let the two mythical beasts play with the kind that have fuses.

Zhang's father and mother then took some things to visit Zhang Jiao's eldest brother and second sister.

Wang Lin brought so much meat that they couldn't finish it all. The elderly couple also thought about their eldest son and second daughter's family, so they brought some things to visit them.

Only Wang Lin and Zhang Jiao remained in the room.

Wang Lin was holding Zhang Jiao's hand affectionately, since no one was around and he wasn't afraid of being laughed at.

By the time the two of them had gotten tired of each other, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang also returned.

The family began preparing dinner. Since Wang Lin was there, Zhang's parents planned to treat him to a good meal.

Of course, the dinner at the Zhang family's house was obviously not on the same level as what Wang Lin cooked at home, but Wang Lin didn't care and even had a couple of drinks with Zhang Jiao's father.

The family was in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Chapter 160 Brother-in-law, I want to ride in a car

At the dinner table, Zhang's father poured Wang Lin a full glass of wine; this was the second glass.

Once he started talking, Zhang's father shared many of his innermost thoughts with Wang Lin.

In this environment, laid-off workers find it difficult to survive, especially when it comes to food, as they have elderly parents and young children at home.

Seeing that her father had become talkative after drinking too much, Zhang Jiao awkwardly said to him, "Dad, you've had too much to drink."

Mr. Zhang realized his lapse in composure. After finishing the last sip of wine, he calmed himself down and said, "I'm full. I'm going outside to sober up."

Wang Lin wanted to go with them, worried that something might happen to Zhang's father, but Zhang's mother stopped him, saying, "It's alright, Xiao Wang. Your uncle is just visiting someone nearby. There's nothing dangerous about him."

Mr. Zhang patted Wang Lin on the shoulder as he stood up and said, "Treat my daughter well, son-in-law."
