Chapter 117: Chapter 117 The Lacking Space for Two
Han Xuewei struggled shyly to get free, saying, "Oh no, Aunt Wang is still here, it's not good for others to see."
But Lin Yi showed no sign of letting go, "Oh, Aunt Wang just went to the storeroom, and everyone else is in the baby room watching the baby."
Han Xuewei quickly tried to break free again, "That's still not okay, Aunt Wang will be back soon, we need to be careful!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi said with a sense of grievance, "Sigh, I originally thought it was convenient for the whole family to live together, but I didn't expect there to be disadvantages, now we completely lack a world of our own."
Han Xuewei glared at Lin Yi and scooped all the vegetables from the pot into a plate, "There's nothing we can do about it, come on, hurry up and call everyone to have lunch together."
At this moment, Han Xuewei also felt the same dilemma in her heart; she felt that she and Lin Yi started too abruptly without a dating process, and went straight into married life. She actually wished she could have more private space with Lin Yi to make their relationship sweeter.
But having skipped the honeymoon phase, the adjustment period, among others, the two of them always felt something was missing, and even then, they wouldn't have much intimate interaction, if any, it would be in the bedroom.
So, thinking about it this way, they both really had a bellyful of complaints with no one to tell!
But now that they already had a baby, some matters had to be pursued half-heartedly.
As evening approached, Lin Yi's mother gathered everyone and held a small family meeting.
"I have called everyone here to inform you that I've had the master calculate a good date, and Lin Yi and Vivi's wedding will be held on the 23rd of August. There is a little over a month left, so we have plenty of time to prepare. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"
Everyone looked at each other, it seemed there was nothing to add, and they all quite agreed with the date.
Moreover, once the two of them had their wedding ceremony, they should be ready to go back to school to continue their studies. Thankfully, the curriculum in their senior year was more relaxed, so other than handling exams, they had nothing else to worry about.
"Then we need to set a time to go visit Vivi's grandmother, after all, we have to take the babies there to recognize her," Lin Yi's father pondered for a moment before stating.
Lin Yi's mother looked at the calendar, made some calculations, and then said, "How about this, we go ten days early for a visit, by that time the babies will also have grown quite a bit, making going out more convenient."
Lin Yi also expressed his agreement, "Yeah, I think that works. Going ten days early won't interfere with other matters."
Lin Yi's mother said to everybody quite earnestly, "At that time, we can follow the process of a formal engagement visit, and I have already bought all the necessary items, all according to the highest standards. We can also bring relatives with us, what does everyone think about that?"
At this moment, Han Xuewei's father suddenly spoke up, "I have no objections to the other arrangements, just a little suggestion about the date. The mother-in-law mentioned going ten days early, why not make it eight days? Because that day happens to be my mother's birthday; it would be like a double celebration, and we could also celebrate her longevity. How does that sound to everyone?"
After hearing this, Lin Yi's mother was very surprised, "Gosh, I didn't expect two happy events to coincide! Then let's set the date together! We'll follow the standards of an engagement banquet, and when it's time for the wedding banquet, our Lin Family will host it."
"Of course, the livelier the better, both sides can invite more relatives, don't worry about seating, in any case, we must have a grand celebration for the children!"
"Exactly, I also hope for a grand celebration," Han Xuewei's mother said excitedly. "The bride's side will surely have no shortage of relatives, we'll welcome as many as come! And it's also a great opportunity to celebrate the triplets!"
Everyone expressed strong agreement with these ideas.
Although the two of them were already married, and their child had already had its full-month celebration, they couldn't skip any of the traditional procedures.
For them, a wedding ceremony was indispensable. Only by holding it on a grand scale could they highlight the importance they placed on Vivi.
After all, Weiwei was their precious daughter-in-law! So, this wedding had to be meticulously planned no matter what!
The grander, the better!
They couldn't wait to tell all the relatives in the Lin Family that Vivi was a good daughter-in-law and also the treasure of the Lin Family!
In recent days, Lin Yi's parents had been busy with these matters, communicating with relatives from both sides to get a rough estimate of how many could come to meet Vivi's grandmother.
Once the number of attendees was confirmed, the initial plan was to take the high-speed train there, but they were worried that the baby might feel uncomfortable on the way and it might be difficult to manage if he started crying. After discussing it together, since they had plenty of cars now, they decided to all drive there!
Driving from Xiangcheng to Xiaochuan County wouldn't take too long. Since there was a baby on board, they couldn't drive too fast. If there was no traffic jam, they could completely reach their destination in three hours.
Plus, they planned to go there by RV, saving quite a bit of unnecessary trouble on the road.
The family had a brief discussion and planned out everything smoothly.
In these days, Han Xuewei's father had idle time on his hands and would often check on the store to see the progress of the renovations.
Her mother had returned to Xiaochuan County in the past few days, for the purpose of discussing the big event with relatives and friends.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi's parents had also called all the relatives over to discuss Lin Yi's major life event over dinner.
Of course, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, along with their three babies, also attended the meal.
In fact, Lin Yi was not clear about the customs and rules regarding weddings, so it was the elders who made suggestions for them.
After this meal, Lin Yi's uncle, Lin Xibei, made a complete 180-degree turn in his attitude towards his son when he got back home, almost wanting to kick his cousin Lin Jie out of the house that very night.
He said with dissatisfaction, "Pack your things and move out tomorrow!"
Lin Jie replied in complete astonishment, "What? Dad! What are you doing? Why are you kicking me out all of a sudden? I don't think I've done anything bad recently, have I?"
Lin Xibei stated directly, "Remember this, boy! Starting tomorrow, I'm increasing your monthly living allowance by half, for you to rent a place. But you must bring a daughter-in-law to meet me as soon as possible! Your old man also wants to hold his grandchild soon!"
Lin Jie started to laugh secretly upon hearing this. Free money was not to be declined! This way, he would have at least seventeen or eighteen thousand a month. As for a daughter-in-law... heh, that could be put aside for now!

After all, he still wanted to make the most of his prime years and have some fun!
Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, I don't think I've ever seen you be this generous before! You're that eager for a daughter-in-law? But these things can't be rushed; it's not that easy, you know?"
