Chapter 1028 The Mansion is Repaired

The marriage proposal went smoothly, and the engagement was settled.

Next comes the betrothal ceremony, followed by asking the bride's name, accepting auspicious gifts, presenting betrothal gifts, setting the wedding date, and finally, the wedding procession.

It was ten days later when all these things were finally done.

The wedding date agreed upon by both parties was set for the end of the year.

When the marriage proposal was made, Doctor Zhao wasn't there, but he couldn't be absent for the wedding. If it weren't for waiting for his master to come, Zhao Xi would have been eager for the wedding to be next month.

He has already written back, giving Dr. Zhao ample time to travel at his own pace.

With the marriage settled, Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Following closely behind, the mansion on Fenghuai Street had been completely renovated. Lu Erbai picked a date, and two days later it would be an auspicious time to move in.

Shu Yu was stunned when she first heard the time. "Isn't this time too rushed?"

"No, no," Lu Erbai said. "I had someone calculate it, and that day is the best one out of the next month or two."

Because in a few days it will be Ayu's coming-of-age ceremony, such an important day shouldn't be spent in a rented courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu didn't say anything more.

To be honest, she also wanted to move into the big house on Fenghuai Street as soon as possible.

The house was completely finished yesterday, and the uncles who did the work have already settled their wages and gone home.

The house is fully furnished, and we only need to clean it up in the next two days before we can move in. There shouldn't be any major problems.

These days there's not much of a formaldehyde problem. Since the date has been chosen, let's move in.

But before they can move, they have to go back to Shangshi Village.

The Lu family's ancestral graves have been repaired, and they should at least go and pay their respects.

The next day, the family bought things and offerings, borrowed a carriage from Meng Yunzheng, and took the three families straight to Shangshi Village.

At the same time, Da Niu and Zhou Qiao from Zhuangzi also set off.

Lu Dasong was already waiting at home. After everyone went inside and had a couple of sips of tea, they didn't linger and went straight up the mountain.

The path up the mountain was much smoother this time, and steps had been specially made. Not to mention others, even the old lady walked much more steadily.

Lu Dasong led the way, saying as they walked, "At first, Ayu told me that we should also fix this road up the mountain, but I didn't think it was necessary. Now that it's fixed, I realize how convenient it is. Now everyone in the village uses this road to go up the mountain, and the village chief even came over to thank me... It's just ahead, Mom, please take your time."

The old woman stood on the steps of the hilltop, looking at the ancestral graves that were completely different from before, and her fingers trembled slightly.

She looked back and found her husband's grave, and couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Good, that's good. Although the old man couldn't enjoy life and didn't live in a big house while he was alive, at least his grave has been renovated.

She slowly exhaled and took out the offerings and paper money.

This time, the Lu family didn't stay on the mountain for long; they burned the paper money and went back.

The family's daughters-in-law, including Li, had already prepared lunch and were waiting for the whole family to return.

Li finally got to see Da Niu. That brat had run off to the estate without a word, and she hadn't even had a chance to settle accounts with him yet. Today, she finally saw him.

There were just too many people, and Da Niu was talking to A Yu, seemingly discussing the crops on the farm, so she couldn't very well go up and bring them over.
