All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Yue Lingxuan introduced Lin Meijuan. After Lin Meijuan greeted everyone a little stiffly, Cong Qiuhui, the future mother-in-law, warmly asked her to sit next to her.

"Meijuan, ever since I received Ling Xuan's letter from the Northeast, I have wanted to meet you. However, considering the long distance and my busy work, I had to give up the idea in the end.

Fortunately, Wenxuan in our family is quite capable and quickly completed the recruitment procedures for his elder brother to return to the city. Then I thought I must find a way to get you back to the city as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that you would come back before I had any news from you.

It’s good to be able to return to the city. After all, you all grew up in our Kyoto City, and it’s more reassuring to be at your doorstep.”

Cong Qiuhui could sense Lin Meijuan's reservedness, so she tried to speak in a gentler tone, and at the same time, she also wanted her to feel more involved, so she asked:

"I heard from Ling Xuan that you were also returning to the city for recruitment. Have you reported to the factory yet? I didn't have the chance to ask him which factory you joined."

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I officially started working a few days ago. I joined a pharmaceutical factory and am now learning laboratory work with my master in the laboratory." Although Lin Meijuan looks very ordinary, her voice is ethereal and sounds particularly pleasant.

"Laboratory work is pretty good. As long as you are more careful, more patient, and strengthen your self-study of professional knowledge, I believe you will be able to adapt to your job soon."

The encouragement from Cong Qiuhui, the future mother-in-law, was not important, but the kindness she expressed made Lin Meijuan feel at ease and she was no longer so nervous when speaking.

“My master gave me two books, and I just started reading them. I’m a bit stupid, and I don’t know when I can learn all the knowledge in them.

But my master is very kind and patient to me, I will definitely learn from him and strive to be competent in my job as soon as possible.”

Yue Wenxuan had just found out that his future sister-in-law actually worked in a pharmaceutical factory and was assigned to be a laboratory technician. This was a really good job.

Originally, Yue Wenxuan thought that Lin Meijuan would join her father's unit, but unexpectedly she was arranged to work in a more promising pharmaceutical factory.

If she and her good brother can stay together until the end, considering their jobs, their future days will definitely not be too bad, if not great.

When Cong Qiuhui met her future daughter-in-law for the first time, she had to talk about work, life and family. Fortunately, Cong Qiuhui was an educated person. Although the topic was the same, it didn't make people feel awkward when she asked it. People only felt that it was a concern from the future mother-in-law.

When it was almost noon, Cong Qiuhui turned her head to look at Yue Ruoyin and said, "Ruoyin, stay with your sister-in-law and talk more. I'll go prepare lunch."

Lin Meijuan stood up quickly and said hurriedly, "Auntie, I'll go and help you. Although I'm clumsy, I can wash and cut vegetables. If you need anything, please arrange for me to do it as soon as possible."

Seeing her sincere attitude, Cong Qiuhui was worried that she would feel awkward sitting next to her, so she agreed, "That's fine, just help me pick the vegetables, and it won't interrupt our conversation."

Knowing that Lin Meijuan was coming today, the Yue family had already prepared the ingredients for lunch today. Whether it was washing or cutting, everything was ready last night, and basically all that was left was cooking. Lin Meijuan followed next to her future mother-in-law, and it was basically difficult for her to get involved. She could only pass soy sauce, vinegar, etc., which was also considered as helping out.

Although there were no ingredients specially contributed by Yue Wenxuan, Cong Qiuhui still prepared six dishes through her own efforts. The most difficult dish was her specialty, the stewed meat.

Cong Qiuhui originally planned to make a bowl of braised pork, but she didn't buy any pork belly, only some hind leg meat with little fat. This piece of meat was not suitable for braised pork, but it was just right for stewing.

At lunch, the Yue family, father and son, drank a bottle of wine, and the ladies drank two bottles of soda.

The whole family's attention was on Lin Meijuan, because Cong Qiuhui, the future mother-in-law, was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law, so the atmosphere of the meal was very good, there was constant laughter and joy, and the whole family had smiles on their faces.

Originally, Yue Lingxuan should have been the happiest one, after all, Lin Meijuan was his girlfriend. However, Yue Wenxuan noticed that the smile on his good brother's face seemed forced, and he rarely spoke.

Since it was Lin Meijuan's first visit, she naturally didn't want to stay long. After lunch, she sat for a while and then asked to leave.

Thinking that she had not given a gift yet, Cong Qiuhui quickly took out a brand new big unity card that she had prepared in advance, stuffed it into the hands of her future daughter-in-law, and said:

"This is your first time here, and I don't know what you like. Take this ten dollars, and ask Ling Xuan to accompany you to the department store. If you see something you like, buy it."

Lin Meijuan knew that this was a gift from her future mother-in-law, but she certainly couldn't accept it so readily, so the two of them tried to decline.

After Lin Meijuan took the ten yuan, Cong Qiuhui stuffed a heavy basket into her eldest son's hands and said to Lin Meijuan:
"Meijuan, I prepared a piece of bacon and two cans of food for your parents. It's not much, but it's just a little token of my appreciation. Please take it over for me and say hello to your parents on my behalf."

Of course, Lin Meijuan couldn't just accept it, so she quickly refused, "Auntie, if you say so, I will definitely bring it to my parents, but I definitely can't accept these things.

Today I came to visit you and uncle, and I didn't bring much with me, but not only did you not leave everything behind, you even brought me something. How can this be justified?"

The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged some pleasantries, and in the end of course they had to obey the arrangements of the future mother-in-law Cong Qiuhui. With the farewell of the whole family, Yue Lingxuan carried the basket and walked Lin Meijuan out the door.

Originally, Cong Qiuhui arranged for her eldest son to accompany Lin Meijuan a little further away, but Yue Lingxuan only sent Lin Meijuan out the door and came back soon.

Seeing her eldest son coming back so soon, Cong Qiuhui complained, "Why did you come back so soon? You didn't even bother to see him off. Even if you didn't send Meijuan home, you should at least send her to the bus stop."

"I'm not going to visit her, why should I send her so far? If you hadn't told me to do so, I would at most send her downstairs, and there would be no need to send her outside the compound.

I still think that we shouldn't spoil her too much. If she develops bad habits, she will be unruly after we get married!

If I get suppressed by her, don't blame me for forgetting my mother after marrying a wife."

It was obvious that Yue Lingxuan himself had other ideas about this marriage, but he had a lot of reasons to give.

"I'm really not worried about that. I'm not old and my eyesight is blurry yet. I can still tell which one of you has the upper hand and which one has the lower hand.

Look at your fake smile today. It's only because Meijuan has a good personality. Otherwise, if it were someone with a bad temper, she would have made you suffer." Cong Qiuhui had long been dissatisfied with her eldest son's attitude today. It was obviously a very happy thing, but he, the person involved, always looked absent-minded, which made people angry.

"You're always worried that I'll forget my mother after I marry, so I specially found you an obedient daughter-in-law.

As for Lin Meijuan's doughy look, you can rest assured that she will never dare to lose her temper with me unless I show her a bad face.

With her round, dark face, she could find a man as impressive as me. What else could she be dissatisfied with? It was only natural for her to be nice to me.

Normally, I won't give in to her, but if I give her a good look occasionally, I'll be doing her justice."

Seeing her son's self-righteous look, Cong Qiuhui felt that his words were particularly harsh and immediately frowned.

Before his wife could speak, Yue Xuchu said unhappily, "Ling Xuan, what are you talking about? If you are not satisfied with this marriage, then tell them earlier and don't delay them.

Meijuan has such good conditions, she will definitely not have trouble finding a good partner. If you think that she is not worthy of you, just say it. Do you think she will still stick with you?
Besides, this is the person you chose yourself. How come the words you said make people feel like you were forced by someone?"

Yue Lingxuan was speechless for a moment, lowered his head and said no more.

He was not really satisfied with this marriage now. He always felt that Lin Meijuan looked too ordinary and was not worthy of him. But if he broke up with Lin Meijuan, he would be reluctant.

Although Lin Meijuan's appearance is a bit ordinary, her family conditions are very good and her job is also good. If Yue Lingxuan breaks up with her, he may not be able to find a partner with such good conditions in the future.

Yue Lingxuan has always been a relatively realistic person. Although he has requirements for the appearance of his marriage partner, he does not care about it as much as most people.

When the two were at the educated youth point, it was indeed he who took the initiative to pursue Lin Meijuan, but at that time he valued the opportunity to return to the city more.

As a result, he returned to the city smoothly without relying on Lin Meijuan's relationship. Lin Meijuan's biggest shining point was gone. Now her only good family conditions were left. This point made Cong Qiuhui far less attractive to him than before.

Under his father's gaze, Yue Lingxuan corrected his attitude and said solemnly:
"I'm not dissatisfied with this marriage. This is my own choice. I just feel that Lin Meijuan is not the perfect partner in my mind. But there are not so many perfect people in this world. People always have to make choices."

Although what Yue Lingxuan said seemed to make sense, Cong Qiuhui was not satisfied with her son's statement and said solemnly:

"I think your view on love is very problematic. First of all, you have to understand that your father and I have no intention of forcing you, but you have to be responsible for your own choices.

If you return to the city to use Meijuan's family's recruitment quota, and you want to cancel the engagement, then you will be too sorry for her efforts.

Fortunately, it didn't come to this, so you don't owe Meijuan anything and there is no need to have any moral concerns.

I think you should think carefully about whether Meijuan is the image of the wife you want. Your wife will accompany you through the ups and downs of life, and you must make a careful decision.

If you think Meijuan is the right person, then don't be indecisive. You should treat her with your heart. I think Meijuan is a good girl and she deserves it.

If you feel that Meijuan is still a little far from the image of your ideal wife, then don't force yourself. Marriage is a lifelong event, so make it when you should, without any hesitation.

After careful consideration, if you still feel that Meijuan is not worthy of you, then you should tell her straight away. While you two are just starting out and there is not much involvement, break up quickly. This will be good for both of you."

Cong Qiuhui and Yue Xuchu are both intellectuals of this era. They have a long-term perspective on issues, especially on marriage issues. They will never force their children to act according to their wishes.

Their only hope is that their children will be cautious in marriage and not make decisions blindly to avoid regrets in the future.

Yue Lingxuan took his mother's words to heart, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll think about it again. I'll give you a definite answer in a few days."

Yue Xuchu sighed but said nothing.

Seeing the attitude shown by his eldest son, he was extremely pessimistic about this marriage. If he were to make the decision, he would suggest his son to break up.

He knew his eldest son, whom he had watched grow up, too well. He believed that his son was too realistic and too selfish, even in his marriage.

When young men and women are in their first love, their hearts are often filled with sweetness and they only see the advantages of each other, but his eldest son is obviously not such a person.

He only saw the criticism in his eldest son's eyes, and did not feel the sweetness in his heart.

If you have already started to compromise during your first love, how can you continue to compromise in such a marriage for a lifetime?

It would be fine if he had no choice, but no one forced the eldest son to do so, and he did not owe Lin Meijuan anything morally. Under this premise, he felt that it was wise to decisively propose a breakup.

Although Yue Xuchu was not optimistic about this marriage, he did not say it out loud, so as not to affect his eldest son's decision. After all, it was a lifelong event, so he should let his eldest son make his own decision. He thought it was best for others not to interfere.

The family members have already sensed that Yue Lingxuan is not very satisfied with Lin Meijuan. Everyone thought that Yue Lingxuan would choose to break up after careful consideration, but in the end everyone guessed wrong.

Yue Lingxuan struggled for a week and finally decided to continue dating Lin Meijuan.

The family had a pretty good impression of Lin Meijuan. Since Yue Lingxuan himself was willing to date her, others would certainly not raise any objections.
