Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 516 The Strength of the Future Son-in-Law
Lu Jingyou drove slowly around the outskirts of Beijing and took Chen Guilan to visit his projects. Only then did Chen Guilan truly realize the strength of her future son-in-law.
She had always thought that Lu Jingyou also worked in her own company. After Jiahe Group went bankrupt, she was worried that Lu Jingyou would lose his job, but she didn't expect that the suburbs of Beijing was his home.
"This side is the hospital, and over there in front is the school. The elementary and junior high schools are together." Lu Jingyou pointed to the buildings under construction on the roadside. "Further ahead is the shopping mall. This place will be very prosperous in the future."
"It's really nice. The roads here are much wider than in the city." Chen Guilan looked at the endless number of buildings, big and small. "It's just too far from the city. We walked for more than three hours."
"It will be closer once the tunnel opens." Lu Jingyou turned a corner and pointed at the tunnel from a distance. "Once that road opens, the distance will be closer. It will only take an hour to get there."
"That's good." Chen Guilan suddenly realized that Wutong Village takes nearly half an hour to drive from Jiao County, so an hour's drive is not very far.
We soon arrived at the project department in the suburbs of Beijing.
As soon as the car stopped, Su Jiaojiao woke up. She sat up drowsily and looked outside: "We're here so soon."
"If you can't sleep next time, I'll take you for a ride." Lu Jingyou was surprised to see her sleeping soundly in the car. As long as she could sleep well, it was fine.
"You've slept for three hours straight." Chen Guilan was also very relieved, "You still feel energetic when you wake up."
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine soon." Su Jiaojiao felt very energetic after waking up, and even felt that she would not suffer from insomnia again.
Lu Jingyou took the mother and daughter on a tour of the project department, asked them to rest in the room, and said they would go out for dinner later.
Su Jiaojiao said that it was not necessary to bother and that they could just eat something in the cafeteria. She still remembered that the buns in the cafeteria were delicious.
Chen Guilan had no objection at all, she thought the food in the cafeteria was also good.
"Auntie, this is your first time here, so we can't eat in the cafeteria." Lu Jingyou remembered Chen Guilan saying that Su Jiaojiao liked barbecue, so he suggested, "Let's go out for barbecue. There's a B&B upstairs that has really good barbecue."
"Okay, let's go eat barbecue." Su Jiaojiao felt that barbecue was better than buns.
The B&Bs in the suburbs of Beijing are somewhat different from Li Nuo's Zhenfeng Nuonuo. The B&Bs here cover a large area, are well-arranged, and have rockery pavilions, giving them the charm of a manor.
Moreover, the names of the wing rooms are also very elegant, such as Flower Hall, Orchid Hall, Peach Blossom Hall, Lotus Hall, etc., with various flowers.
"Let's go into whichever room you like." Lu Jingyou let Su Jiaojiao choose.
Su Jiaojiao chose the Lotus Hall. The Lotus Hall was not big, with a round table in the middle. It was very air-conditioned, and outside the window was a lotus pond with pointed little lotus flowers and round lotus leaves.
The wind blew in through the gauze window, wrapped in the fragrance of lotus, and blew in faintly, refreshing the heart.
There was also a lotus flower and a lotus pod placed on the table, which was very appropriate.
In addition to barbecue, there were also various side dishes, salted peanuts, and fresh soybeans. Lu Jingyou ordered them all.
Chen Guilan praised these side dishes highly: "They picked the peanuts in the usual size, which are very flavorful. And the bean pods are also very good when cooked. We can't get the same flavor as them."
She is very familiar with these ingredients.
When I was in the village, I often cooked it when the season came. The ones I cooked at home were all original flavors without adding salt.
But the food they cook is very flavorful and really tasty.
Chen Guilan never dreamed that one day she would be sitting in such a high-end place eating the peanut pods she was familiar with.
"These are all marinated in advance." Su Jiaojiao ate the barbecue skewers with relish. She had slept all the way and was full of energy. After all, delicious food is the most soothing.
"If you like it, eat more." Lu Jingyou was very happy to see that she had regained her former vitality. "There are many B&Bs here. Let's try them one by one."
"I see there are a lot of yurts up ahead." Su Jiaojiao saw them when she came in. Lu Jingyou was still peeling shrimp for her. "Those yurts were just installed. They weren't there when we came a few days ago. If you want to go and take a look, we'll go in a bit."
"Okay, let's go take a look later. I think it's great for team building." Su Jiaojiao fiddled with the crisp lotus pods on the table. Cai Ting and Ding Linyu have been following her for so long. When she is free, she will take them out to play.
There is also Ji Hong, and that weird Marco Bo.
The three of them were eating when Lu Jingyou's phone rang. It was Lu Qingqing calling: "Brother, did you go to the outskirts of Beijing? You didn't take me with you. I'm on vacation, don't you know?"
"Next time I go back, I will definitely bring you here." Lu Jingyou had forgotten about Lu Qingqing.
"You don't keep your word." Lu Qingqing snorted on the other end of the phone, "You must have taken Sister Su with you. I knew you deliberately didn't take me."
"Okay, I'm still eating." Lu Jingyou smiled good-naturedly, "I'll bring you here next time."
The B&B provides rooms for rest. Chen Guilan stayed in the room for a nap, while Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao went to see the yurt. The interior was decorated very attentively, and the furnishings in the yurt on the grassland were restored one to one.
There is a huge stone barbecue platform in the middle of more than 20 yurts, which can accommodate 20 to 30 people to barbecue at the same time, which is very suitable for team building.
The two of them walked around for a while and then went into the pavilion to sit down. There was a stone table and stone benches. Although the weather was hot, there was a breeze on the mountain, blowing towards them with the scent of the mountains.
"How do you feel now?" Lu Jingyou asked her, "Are you still having insomnia at night?"
"I didn't sleep well last night, but I slept for several hours on the way. I feel pretty good now." Su Jiaojiao knew that Lu Jingyou had been worried about her sleep. "I think it will take time. It will get better slowly."
"If you think Dr. Lin's hypnosis is effective, let's go a few more times. As long as we can fall asleep, that's fine."
"I think it's very effective. I'll go there by myself when I need it." Lin Zixuan played soothing music, and then asked her to close her eyes. He kept telling her in his ear that there was grass, sunshine, and a stream, asking her to relax and relax again.
Then, she fell asleep unknowingly.
"I heard grandma set the wedding date for the end of the year?" Su Jiaojiao asked Lu Jingyou, "That's too hasty. We haven't prepared anything yet."
"They have nothing to do, so they're interested in these things. Don't worry about it. I don't even know the wedding date." Lu Jingyou said disapprovingly, "Marriage is a matter between the two of us. It has nothing to do with them. As long as we agree on it, it's fine."
"However, I think we can get married at the end of the year. You don't have to prepare anything. Just do what you need to do, and my grandma and mom will take care of it." Lu Jingyou knew what Su Jiaojiao was thinking and added, "We're both free at the end of the year. After the wedding, we can go out for a honeymoon. Next year, we can move to Lakeside Villa, so I don't have to go to the city all day."
"That sounds nice." Su Jiaojiao looked at him coquettishly, "If I move to the suburbs of Beijing, what will happen to my job in the city?"
"The one in the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park will be completed by the end of the year, and we can move in after the New Year. Factories are different from residential buildings, and factories progress faster." Lu Jingyou held her hand, his eyes full of smiles. "We've been together for so many years, and you still don't trust me?"
"I believe you." Su Jiaojiao smiled. Wang Hua also said that the progress in the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park was very fast and they could move in by the end of the year at the earliest.
"Then let's get married." Lu Jingyou looked at her with burning eyes and said with emotion, "From now on, we will live an ordinary life in the suburbs of Beijing and enjoy the good life. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
