At this time, in the nanny car, Lu Xiaoqiao looked back at the six black luxury cars following behind, then turned back to look at Zhou Qizhen beside her.
"Why are there so many cars? Are they all going to my mom's house with us?"
Zhou Qizhen held her soft hand and squeezed it, with a smile in his eyes.
"It was decided as a compromise based on the customs and habits of both sides."
Lu Xiaoqiao frowned: "Isn't that too exaggerated? What's the point of having so many cars? There are only five of us, and one car can't even take all of them."
Zhou Qizheng raised his lips and said, "I didn't participate in these. They were all decided by my father, my aunt, and my sister."
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't know what the customs were in Hangzhou. Since Zhou Qizhen said so, she didn't say anything else.
Zhou Qizheng let Lu Xiaoqiao lean on his arms: "Do you want to sleep a little longer? I'll call you when I get up."
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little excited because she was about to get home, and she didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment.
"I'm not sleepy. I want to eat some fruit. Did you bring me some?"
Zhou Qizheng took out the fruit box he had prepared earlier from the incubator: "There are strawberries and loquats."
Lu Xiaoqiao took a look and said, "Eat strawberries. It's too troublesome to peel loquats!"
Zhou Qizheng curled his lips and smiled softly: "I'll peel it for you."
"Hehe! Then I'll eat both."
"good."
One of them started peeling the fruit while the other started eating. Before long, they arrived at Lu Xiaoqiao's house.
When the few of them decided on the itinerary, Lu Xiaoqiao had already called Lu's father and mother to inform them.
The two old people were puzzled at the time. They had agreed to propose on May 1st, so why was the date changed to now? Thinking of the recent rumors in the village, it was indeed a good thing to settle the marriage early. Besides, the two of them had already registered their marriage certificate. It was only a matter of time before they proposed. The sooner the better.
…
2:30 pm.
Because it is not yet time to make dinner, the weather in the northeast in early April is also particularly pleasant. Today is a windless and sunny day, and the warm sun pours down without reservation.
The neighbors near Lu's house were sitting under the trees by the roadside chatting about family matters.
When a line of cars stopped in front of the Lu family's house, people who were chatting looked over.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu and their family calculated the time, and when they were almost there, except for Lu Jiaqi who was sent to his grandmother's house, the rest of them stood outside waiting.
After the car stopped, Zhou Qizheng got out first and greeted Lu's father and mother: "Mom and Dad, big brother and big sister-in-law."
The two old men looked at their handsome son-in-law, whose suits were neat and tidy, without the cumbersome winter clothes, which made them look more upright. Their eyes were full of satisfaction, and they agreed with a smile.
When Zhou Qizhen said hello and turned around to help Lu Xiaoqiao get out of the car, he saw her jumping out of the car. Zhou Qizhen was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Qiao Qiao!" Zhou Qizhen called her.
Lu Xiaoqiao then realized that she was pregnant and smiled at him awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot when I was so happy."
Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything else and let her greet her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
At this time, Zhou's father and several others also got off from another car. Without waiting for Zhou Qizhen to introduce them, Zhou's father walked straight towards Lu's father.
When he got to Father Lu, he hugged him, his voice unable to conceal his excitement: "Father-in-law! Oh! We finally meet today! Hahaha!"
Zhou Qizheng: “…”
Everyone: “…”
After Zhou's father let go of Lu's father, he grabbed his hand tightly again in an instant, as if he was afraid that his relative would run away.
"Father-in-law! If I hadn't been busy, I would have wanted to come and see you a long time ago!"
Father Lu was a little overwhelmed by Father Zhou's enthusiasm. He just smiled and shook hands with him and said hello: "My dear relatives, you must have had a hard time on the road. We are very happy that you can come here in person after such a long journey!"
Father Zhou smiled and replied, "If your family is willing to marry Xiao Qiao to my Qi Zheng, even if the journey is farther than this, I will come here in person."
The two old men humbly complimented each other for a few words, and Zhou Qizhen introduced each party to each other. Then, he asked the assistant driver and others who followed him to carry the betrothal gifts into the house.
Only then did Lu Xiaoqiao realize that the cars arranged by Zhou's father were not just for display, but were actually used to hold the so-called betrothal gifts.
The assistant, driver and others moved the things back and forth for a while before they finished moving them.
This huge battle shocked the Lu family so much that they stood there in a daze, looking at each other with surprise and shock in their eyes.
Even the neighbors who had been sitting quietly by from the beginning, ready to watch the excitement, opened their mouths wide, unable to come back to their senses for a while, and sighed in amazement as they whispered to each other.
"Oh my god! There are so many things. It must cost a lot of money! It took so long to move them. What do you think is in the boxes?"
"I see there is a transparent cover, which looks like a gold bar."
"Gold bars? How much does that cost? Are you here to discuss marriage? Isn't it said that the little girl from the Lu family was dumped by a rich man in the city?"
A middle-aged woman in a khaki coat exclaimed: "What are you shaking off? Does she look like she's been dumped? Look, that little girl must be the daughter of the Lu family! How come she's getting prettier and prettier!"
A middle-aged man next to him said disdainfully: "Tsk! How can a rich man like you if you are not good-looking?"
Someone disagreed, saying, "Hey, Mr. Zheng, that's not right. It's true that she has money, but her looks and temperament make her popular even if she has no money."
The man called Lao Zheng curled his lips and said, "He's rich and handsome, but there must be something wrong with him."
The middle-aged woman in the khaki jacket snorted, "Old Zheng, you are not still holding a grudge because of that son-in-law of Lao Lu who won some money from you during the Chinese New Year! Earlier you spread the word that Xiao Qiao was dumped by that guy, and now he has come to propose marriage, and there is such a grand ceremony, I have never seen it on TV."
Being hit in the sore spot, Lao Zheng was a little angry and said, "What the hell, don't say such nonsense. When did I spread such nonsense? I just heard it from others."
The middle-aged woman snorted. Everyone knew that Old Zheng had a good relationship with Lu's mother's second sister, Zhang Minhua. He would spread rumors about the little girl whenever he could find her gossip.
Here, Lu Xiaoqiao was also looking at the betrothal gifts and presents taken from the car in shock. She glanced at Zhou Qizheng standing next to her and said, "You didn't even tell me, what are these?"
"It's just some normal betrothal gifts. There's a gift list. I'll show it to you later."
Zhou Qizhen didn't tell her that this was because Zhou's father heard from Lin Lin that there were some rumors in Lu Xiaoqiao's hometown, and the old man couldn't sit still. He decided to arrange the biggest ceremony for his daughter-in-law and give her full respect, saying that he would use practical actions to completely suppress those gossips.
If Zhou Qiyue hadn't been there to stop it, who knows how exaggerated it would have gotten.
After all the betrothal gifts and presents were moved in, everyone moved inside to talk.
