Isn't this the kind of thing that all the aunts and uncles love to talk about?
When they saw Lu Zhengjun, they started talking to him endlessly.
"I knew Yueya was handsome, so we had to find someone just as handsome. I didn't expect her to have such good taste! I'm very satisfied with this son-in-law!"
"What do you mean 'your son-in-law'? This is Ren Hanxue and Yuying's son-in-law. If you want a son-in-law, hurry up and find one for your daughter!"
"Zhengjun, you're a regimental commander now, aren't you even more capable than Shouyan? Help your auntie see if there are any unmarried men in your unit who you can introduce to your family. Let's keep the good stuff in the family!"
"Yes, Zhengjun, you should introduce her to your family!"
Lu Zhengjun was surrounded by a group of aunts and uncles, and she was completely at a loss. She looked to Su Yueya for help.
Su Yueya: "..."
She quietly looked away; she couldn't really help with this, as she herself had been rescued by her sister.
"Zhengjun? Lu Zhengjun? Then aren't you a young man from the Lu family? You're from that Lu family, aren't you?"
Qiao's relatives thought that since Su Yueya had been living away from home, any marriage that could be arranged would be just an ordinary one.
Seeing that the young man was handsome was already a surprise, but hearing that he was a regimental commander was even more surprising, and now, thinking about the Lu family...
Liu Yuying, being from the military, knew a thing or two about interpersonal relationships within the military and immediately realized what was going on.
"This marriage to Yueya is quite remarkable! Doesn't this mean we've established a connection with the Lu family?"
"My lord, do you have any older or younger brothers in your family?"
After being besieged, Lu Zhengjun felt as if a layer of her skin had been peeled off.
That's terrifying...
After he finally managed to escape from the crowd, Su Yueya quickly poured him a cup of hot water.
"Honey, would you like some water?"
My throat must be hoarse from talking so much.
“Okay.” Lu Zhengjun drank her water while glancing at Qiao Gaoyang, who was secretly laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"Thank you so much, you really saved my brother and me. This year you're so popular, all the aunts and uncles are dragging you along, so my brother and I can have a peaceful New Year," Qiao Gaoyang said, making no attempt to hide his schadenfreude as he patted Lu Zhengjun's shoulder. "Good brother-in-law!"
Qiao Shouyan didn't say anything sarcastic, but he still came over and patted Lu Zhengjun on the shoulder.
Gratitude needs no further explanation.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
I'm impressed by these two guys!
These uncles and aunts were also happy, after all, the Qiao family had gained two more people.
When it came time to give out red envelopes, these uncles and aunts were very generous, giving Su Yueya the biggest red envelope of all.
This startled Su Yueya.
According to custom, a girl doesn't receive a red envelope when she gets married.
"Uncles and aunts, I'm married now, I shouldn't accept red envelopes," Su Yueya quickly declined.
But it was stuffed back into the box.
"Crescent Moon, you take it!"
"Yes, this is what you should take. Your aunt prepared it especially for you!"
"That's right! Over the years, your uncle and aunt have owed you so many red envelopes. We'll make it all up to you today, so you can take it all without worry!"
Su Yueya looked at her parents with a troubled expression, while Qiao Hanxue and Liu Yuying smiled and nodded at her.
She then accepted the red envelope, feeling embarrassed.
This collection took all night.
"This is too much..."
"So what if there are more?" Qiao Xinruo wasn't jealous at all, and even helped her sister ask for more. If any elder didn't give her some, she would rush up and ask them for more. "Sister, you take these, they're all yours!"
Seeing the Qiao family's attitude and feeling their kindness towards her, Su Yueya felt a warm glow in her heart.
This is not just a red envelope, it also represents everyone's welcome to her!
When Su Yueya returned to her own home that evening, she spread out all the red envelopes she had received on the table.
"Crescent Moon, I have some more here." Lu Zhengjun also shook out the red envelopes.
Earlier, Su Yueya really couldn't take any more, so Lu Zhengjun helped her put some away. The Qiao family was just too hospitable.
He could feel the solid weight of the red envelope just by touching it.
“That’s quite a lot,” Lu Zhengjun said after glancing at it.
"Mm." Su Yueya nodded.
Then she started opening the red envelopes one by one, taking out the money inside, putting them together, and finally counting them.
"Five hundred... six hundred..."
“One thousand…” Su Yueya looked up, grabbed a large wad of money and threw it at Lu Zhengjun, “Honey, look, this is already a thousand yuan!”
Su Yueya was shocked; she hadn't expected to receive so much.
There's more!
Lu Zhengjun laughed too, seeing her looking like a little money-grubber, her eyes practically disappearing from her smile as she counted money.
"That's great! You've struck it rich over the New Year! You've become a little rich lady!" Lu Zhengjun said, still holding the red envelopes the Lu family had received.
The quantity is not more than that of the Qiao family, since the relatives on the Qiao family's side have made up for all the shortfall they had in the past.
"These red envelopes are all yours." Lu Zhengjun took them all out; they were received a few days ago, but she hadn't had time to open them.
"Then I'll tear it down too." Su Yueya didn't stand on ceremony, since she was the one who kept Lu Zhengjun's money anyway.
Quite a lot.
It'll be over a thousand yuan in total!
Su Yueya had already made up her mind; she needed to find some time to save the money.
After all, Lu Zhengjun has always been the only one with income in the family; she has never earned a penny. These red envelopes can barely be considered her income.
I still have to take classes for another semester, and it's uncertain whether I can immediately get a job at a military hospital after graduation.
But as long as she has money in her hand, she won't panic.
"I'll deposit the money after the New Year." Holding such a large sum of money, Su Yueya was in a great mood.
What a wonderful surprise for the New Year!
"Whatever you say, you're in charge of all the family's money." Lu Zhengjun didn't care at all.
Su Yueya thought about it. Lu Zhengjun had given her his New Year's salary and bonuses, and he hadn't kept much money for himself.
"Honey, why don't you take some and keep it for yourself, just in case you need money somewhere?" Su Yueya started counting the money.
“No need,” Lu Zhengjun said without even glancing at it. “I don’t need the money anywhere. If I really need it, I can ask you for it later.”
Lu Zhengjun usually eats at home, but when Su Yueya has something to do at school, he goes to the cafeteria to eat, so he doesn't really need to spend much money.
"You can't be completely penniless, can you...?"
If others find out, Lu Zhengjun is a regimental commander after all. It would be so embarrassing if word got out!
"A little change will do." Lu Zhengjun didn't care at all.
He didn't want it, and Su Yueya couldn't force him to.
Finally, she came up with a solution.
He took out a hundred yuan and put it in the wardrobe drawer, which was unlocked.
"Honey, I put a hundred yuan in the drawer. If you need it urgently, just take it. We should save the rest," Su Yueya said.
This hundred yuan is enough for their daily expenses.
Besides buying meat regularly, she can also secretly take out vegetables and fruits from her space, and occasionally buy some daily necessities. This money is enough to last her for a while.
