Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 273: The Leader as Matchmaker
Bai Xianglan led two children and came back in the afternoon. As soon as she got home, she saw her three granddaughters returning, which made her extremely happy. She put the two little ones close to their mom and went up to warmly greet the three granddaughters.
Seeing this, the two brothers are even more convinced that the Lin Family has a tradition of favoring daughters over sons? Each and every one behaves this way.
The two little kids didn’t stick around their mom either, they both ran to their sisters and with a childish tone said:
"Big sister, second sister, third sister... want candy!" This was said by Lin Cai.
"Big sister, where’s the toy you promised Xiao Feng?" This was Lin Feng.
These little ones acted like they were collecting debts, making the three sisters laugh.
"You two little ones, are you here to collect debts? Not even a word about missing your sisters, no hugs, just asking for this and that! Quick, how does Grandma usually teach you?" Bai Xianglan laughed along but reminded the two to show some courtesy.
The two kids stood seriously, then spoke in unison:
"Big sister, second sister, third sister, were you tired along the way? Must have been exhausting, come on in and rest!"
"Pfft... hahaha..." Lin Xia couldn’t hold it in, bursting into laughter as she ran to pat the heads of her little siblings.
"Not tired at all! Big sister misses our Xiao Feng and Xiao Cai! Come quickly, sis got you a bunch of yummy stuff!" Lin Xue felt her heart melting with affection.
She went forward to hug the two little ones, Lin Feng even glared at third sister, then pushed away her hand that was randomly messing with his hair.
"Big sister is the best! I miss big sister!"
Lin Xue smiled triumphantly, Xiao Feng, who originally liked third sister the most, now actually pushes her aside.
"Xiao Feng, third sister even bought you a toy gun! Wooden one, want it?" Lin Xia couldn’t take it that her little brother wasn’t biased toward her anymore, so she quickly showed the wooden gun she bought.
"Xiao Cai, second sister also bought you a little cloth doll! Hurry and come to get it!" Lin Yun waved as well.
"Second sister, I’ll play with the doll later, let me go eat goodies with big sister first!" Lin Cai seriously declined second sister.
This time, everyone couldn’t help themselves, bursting into laughter.
The whole courtyard was filled with laughter, truly joyful.
Lin Xue held her head, the Lin Family has brought up another foodie.
Though oddly, they’ve moved here for quite a while, they know that there’s an elderly couple living in the west yard, whom their grandmother sometimes visits, but she’s never seen anyone come out from the east yard.
The cheerful laughter continued until Lin Daliang came back from work in the evening. At the dinner table, Lin Daliang hesitated several times, but in the end, couldn’t help but speak up.
"Xiao Yun!"
"What’s up, Dad?" Lin Yun was eating, and when called out like this, she raised her head feeling a bit unsure. She currently felt a bit anxious because Sun Bing mentioned on the bus about proposing at their home, and seeing his eagerness, she thought he would come today, so she felt uneasy all day.
Apart from the two three-year-olds diligently eating, everyone else looked over, realizing Lin Daliang’s expression.
"Um... at school, did you... start dating?" Lin Daliang carefully chose his words and asked.
Lin Yun now realized why her dad was calling her out, and looked at big sister without knowing how to answer. Saying yes, she felt a bit awkward as it was uncommon to talk about dating back then, given that many villages still arranged marriages.
"Dad, why would you ask that?" Lin Xue quickly spoke up to help her sister.
"Today, Captain Sun came to find me, saying his nephew asked him to come to our home to propose, also mentioned they were dating!" Lin Daliang didn’t insist on having his daughter answer verbally, describing what Captain Sun said during his visit.
He originally thought the captain might be giving some guidance about their work team, but the captain pulled him aside and told him something he couldn’t believe.
Hearing that his second daughter was dating at school made him a bit incredulous, as in his mind, she was the most obedient child and rarely talked, how could she be dating?
But after hearing Captain Sun’s words, he couldn’t help but believe it, as he wouldn’t deceive him!
So he said he’d discuss it with the family and let him know by noon tomorrow.
"Dad, Sun Bing is a pretty good guy, they’re in the same school..." Lin Xue explained the situation between the two to the family.
Wang Cuihua listened and nodded continuously, no matter how Daliang felt, she agreed, knowing the guy’s background, and since he liked her daughter first, it seemed right.
Bai Xianglan nodded along, "This young man should be right, Daliang, what do you think? Should we let him come over to see the kids first?"
"Mom... the matchmaker is our captain, gotta give some face, so let’s do it, let them come over at noon tomorrow to meet! We’ll all get a look at Sun Bing!" Lin Daliang nodded as well.
Lin Yun had been holding her breath, waiting for judgment, and finally relaxed.
Lin Xue gave her a look, implying, see! Trust me, Mom and Dad won’t blame you for dating on your own!
Lin Yun still hung her head as she ate her bowl of rice, her face growing warm again.
"Alright, alright, then let’s prepare a table tomorrow noon, since he’s coming, proper hospitality is needed, the matchmaker is still your boss!" Bai Xianglan promptly agreed.
Wang Cuihua nodded in agreement as well, and the couple momentarily forgot their daughter was dating on her own, as parents, they hadn’t spoken a word of reproach.
Wang Cuihua went to the co-op early the next morning, buying a heap of supplies for entertaining guests.
These days, if you don’t go early, there’s no chance of getting anything, the meat and vegetables are all sold out promptly.
Lin Xue initially thought of getting some from the supermarket, but since Mom went to buy them, she hesitated to take them out. Thankfully, they bought back meat and vegetables; when she returned, she brought back various sausages and such.
It’s enough to get by with six dishes. Initially, Wang Cuihua considered slaughtering one of the several chickens raised, but Lin Xue didn’t allow it.
They’re the girl’s family, and with the boy’s side coming over the first time, being too enthusiastic felt like being overeager, making her uncomfortable.
Her sister didn’t worry about marriage, even though the matchmaker was Dad’s boss, the principle still applied.
Today, his status isn’t that of a boss, but a matchmaker, and expectations need to be lowered; if the other side plays the boss card, then sorry, the marriage proposal can’t proceed.
This way, the Sun Family unknowingly suppresses their family, and they’ve yet to discern Sun Bing’s parents’ disposition. If they’re difficult, her sister will suffer after marrying.
Today, their parents primarily observe if Sun Bing is a promising young man, worth entrusting their daughter’s life with; while she assesses his parents’ nature, whether they’re easy to get along with.
Despite not having married across both lives, she possesses sharp insight in judging people.
Marriage isn’t solely between two individuals but concerns two families. If difficult parents exist on the other side, her sister will face many grievances later.
