Chapter 171 Engagement, In-laws’ Favor, Marriage Report

Lin Ting was shocked by Xu Mingzhu's unexpected action. It seems that the Lu family does not have those old ideas that men cannot go to the kitchen.

Ding Xianglan smiled slightly and also noticed Lu's mother's behavior and words. Her first impression was that she was someone who was easy to get along with.

In addition, the four brothers were sent to clean the main room and the rooms. At this time, the fire wall in the main room was burning very brightly, and the whole room was very warm.

The meals were all cooked. This time there were too many people, so Jiang Yuanshan carried a large round table out of the kitchen. Jiang Yuanfeng wiped the table top with a rag, Jiang Yuanyang went to get the dishes and chopsticks, and Jiang Wang walked in with chairs in each hand and put them on the ground.

As soon as the things that the Lu family brought were placed on the original wooden table next to them, it was filled up in an instant and there was no room for anything else.

Mr. Lu couldn't help but praise: "Your children are really well educated. They are good-looking and capable."

Jiang Xiangliang was so excited that his face flushed. Old Master Lu was a veteran general who had founded the country. If it weren't for Zhizhi's engagement to the Lu family, how could an ordinary person like him have the chance to meet such a great man?

"Don't praise them, old man. They will be so proud of themselves."

Jiang Xiangsheng took this opportunity to express his gratitude to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "At that time, I never thought that we would have such a good fate today. This is the fate and blessing of our two families."

The two families sat down to eat, especially the Lu family, who were tasting Jiang Zhizhi's cooking for the first time, and they were all full of anticipation.

I haven’t eaten it yet, but just smelling the aroma makes me satisfied. Suddenly, I had the thought, “Even if I’m standing far away, I can tell it’s delicious just by smelling it.”

All the delicious food was placed on the table. Who wouldn’t be confused?

Accustomed to the sometimes-good-and-not-so-good meals cooked by Xu Mingzhu, the men in Lao Lu's family got used to it and developed stomachs of steel.

Can you refute Xu Mingzhu to her face? Are you itchy? Do you want to die?

If you make Miss Xu Mingzhu unhappy, she will throw down the spatula and quit completely. You can just go to the cafeteria to eat by yourselves.

"tasty!"

“It’s delicious.”

Mr. Lu hasn't had a very good appetite recently, but today, for the first time ever, he wanted to try all the dishes.

While eating, Lu Xingguo, Lu Tian and Lu Ye praised their younger brother for finally finding a precious wife this time, and said that his future life would be so happy.

Xu Mingzhu picked up the sausage with her first chopsticks. It was shiny and translucent. She took a bite of the sausage meat and the rich aroma filled her lips and teeth.

"This is the flavor from Province G, with a little sweetness."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Yes, the other one is salty and fragrant. It depends on which one you like."

"There are also crispy barbecued pork and honey barbecued pork, which are also authentic dishes of Province G."

Xu Mingzhu's eyes were broadened, as if the door to a new world had been opened, and her love for Jiang Zhizhi deepened.

She can draw and write, she knows martial arts, and now she has also mastered cooking skills. Where can you find such a good girl?

Where can I find her? It's a pity that the Jiang family has only produced such a precious little girl in three generations, and there are no cousins. Otherwise, I can see if I can get the attention of the eldest and second sons.

What if I like it?

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, with round bellies. They smiled and continued to chat in their chairs. From time to time, loud laughter could be heard, and the whole scene was full of joy.

After eating, Lu Xingchen was about to stand up to take charge of the task of washing the dishes, but was immediately stopped by Ding Xianglan and Lin Ting.

This is really not the time for you to show off.

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and pulled Lu Xingchen's sleeve. While no one was paying attention to them, she reached her little hand in and touched Lu Xingchen's belly.

It feels surprisingly good. The man's abdomen is made of muscles developed over many years, without a trace of fat.

She clearly saw that Brother Chen ate a lot. His stomach didn’t look bulging even after stuffing so many delicious foods. Where did the food go?

Jiang Zhizhi shrank her round belly and suddenly blushed. It was over. The one who was gaining weight for the winter was her, right?

Lu Xingchen turned his head and smiled softly, "It's better if you're a little fatter. I like you to be fat."

Jiang Zhizhi: “….”

When you say that, I feel less guilty.

After dinner, the Lu family was full of energy and did not go to rest. They had only one thought in their minds, which was to arrange the marriage of Lu Xingchen and Jiang Zhizhi, so that they could sleep peacefully.

Otherwise, with Lu Xingchen's character, it would not be surprising for him to be a single man for his whole life.

Fortunately, a nice girl like Zhizhi took a liking to him and accepted him as her own.

The firecrackers are ready. Once the task is accomplished, they will immediately set off firecrackers to celebrate and send the brat away.

Xu Mingzhu took out a thick red envelope and a box of jewelry and placed them on the table.

"We in the Lu family have chosen Zhizhi as our daughter-in-law. Don't worry, we in the Lu family don't care about those broken rules. How the couple arranges their lives after marriage is their own business. We only hope that our children will be happy and have a peaceful and smooth life."

The Lu family gave Jiang Zhizhi 8,888 yuan in prize money, which included a sewing machine, a watch, a bicycle, a radio, a hi-fi, and a box of pure gold jewelry.

Jiang Zhizhi looked at Lu Xingchen with bright and clear eyes, and said softly, "I already have them, why should I bother with them?"

Lu Xingchen lowered his head slightly and rubbed her head with one hand. "There are many people in the family compound who talk a lot. They have all these things that they should have. I don't want you to be looked down upon."

I have prepared the best things so that she won't feel wronged.

Xu Mingzhu smiled warmly and took Jiang Zhizhi's hand, saying with relief: "If Lu Xingchen bullies you in the future, I will punish him. In the Lu family, the wife is the most important."

"Look at them, they look so good together. I wonder how cute their baby will be."

"As for me, I won't hide it from you. Lu Xingguo and I were desperate. We thought we would never have a chubby granddaughter in our lifetime."

"Now there is finally hope, hahaha."

No one in the Jiang family had expected that the Lu family's attitude would be so good.

Moreover, the Jiang family valued Jiang Zhizhi so much that they would not skimp on the dowry, especially Jiang Xiangsheng and Lin Ting, who had saved up half their life savings, as well as some jewelry, just waiting to be put away for Zhizhi.

Jiang Wang has saved a lot of money over the years, enough to support his sister.

Lin Ting was satisfied. Her in-laws were really good to Zhizhi. They doted on her and the man she married was loving. She would enjoy a happy life after getting married.

The two families asked Jiang Zhizhi for her opinion, and only after getting her nod of agreement did they set the date for the couple's wedding.

May 10, 1973, the eighth day of the lunar new year, was a good day.

"This day must be picked well. I wish the couple all the best, happiness and a harmonious family."

"Yes, the customs passed down by our ancestors must have their reasons. Let's just follow them."

Xu Mingzhu was laughing the happiest, so what if she let the brat wait?

In just four months, I was ready to buy new furniture, cabinets, tables, and chairs, and all the necessary supplies for my new home. Wouldn't it be just right to order a bed, make a bed, and make a mattress?

You also need to prepare new sheets, quilts, and pillows!

Jiang Zhizhi looked at Lu Xingchen's anxious eyes and smiled, "Be good."

At this moment, her heart was filled with tenderness and she felt indescribable joy. It was as he wished.

She believed that she could live a good life, and since Province H and Province L were adjacent to each other, it wouldn't be too far to go home.

Similarly, the older brothers have started to learn now, and they will not just stay in Dajiang Village in the future, they will spread their wings and fly higher and farther.

When Lu Xingchen heard that there were still four months left, he couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to go running, chop wood, anything.

The sun was shining brightly here, and on the other side, the men of Lao Jiang's family couldn't control their laughter.

The sweet and gentle Zhizhi has grown up and is now talking about marriage.

Can't I stay for another two or three years? I really can't bear to leave. I really can't bear to leave!

During the rest time at night, Xu Mingzhu had a lot to say to Jiang Zhizhi, so Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Mingzhu slept in the same room on a big kang.

Lu Xingchen: “.........”

No, he hadn’t even held his sweet and soft wife to sleep, but his mother got there first?

Did he pick it up?

Lu Xingguo: “………”

This is really something his wife can do.

Lu Xing was sleeping soundly on the big kang, with one hand behind his head. He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He was wondering what his daughter-in-law and mother were talking about at the moment.

Are you harming him?

Is his mother starting to expose his jokes again?

Jiang Yuanshan, Jiang Yuanfeng, Jiang Wang and Jiang Yuanyang in the room couldn't sleep either.

The brothers felt both happy and unhappy about Lao Lu's anxiety.

"Lu."

This shout was somewhat personal.

Lu Xingchen smiled and responded, his heart still beating wildly, his whole body seemed to be on fire: "I can't even sleep, why don't you go out and stretch your muscles?"

"Walk!"

"Damn it, this is what I've been waiting for!"

"This time, don't think that Zhizhi will protect you!"

"Bang......."

........

The next morning.

Lu Xingshen woke up, washed up, and went out for a morning run with his eldest brother Lu, his second brother Lu, and Jiang Wang.

During the meeting, Lu Tian, ​​the eldest brother, asked: "When can we apply for family housing?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I'll ask our battalion instructor, Lao Liang, to help me submit the marriage report later. I've already written it and put it in the drawer."

"Once the political review is passed, I will immediately apply for family housing."

Not only did he keep an eye on the house to live in, he also found out everything that needed to be purchased before marriage.

He has been like this since he was a child. Once he makes up his mind, he will take action immediately.

He wanted to quickly marry Zhizhi and bring her home to pamper her.

Jiang Wang was heartbroken: "........"

This bastard Lao Lu, could it be that he has received special approval from Teacher Zhao?

Damn, how could he have forgotten that Teacher Zhao was very optimistic about his sister and Lao Lu?
