Chapter 141 Lu Chenzhou's fingertips gently...
Lu Chenzhou gently stroked the watch face with his fingertips, his heart seemingly sinking into warm honey, even his voice was filled with an irresistible sweetness: "Jiajia, I especially like it."
The smile in his eyes was deeper than usual, and his gaze was unusually intense, making Yu Jiajia look away uncomfortably. She thought to herself, "This watch was definitely the right gift. See? Everyone likes watches."
I had mutton hot pot for lunch, and then wandered around in the afternoon, taking a lot of photos.
In the evening, the two returned to the Peace Hotel carrying a lot of things.
Cheng Xiuying has also returned from the Qi family, and the two sides have already settled the marriage arrangements.
We'll be celebrating our wedding on October 6th. We'll hold one in Beijing first, and then another back in Qingshan County.
Cheng Xiuying readily agreed, and both families were delighted; it was a win-win situation.
The Qi family didn't ask for a bride price or the three major gifts; the Yu family could decide what to give, the important thing was the sentiment. They also prepared a dowry for Qi Yan: a courtyard house in the Xicheng District.
Qi Yan took Cheng Xiuying to see the house in the afternoon. Upon entering the courtyard, there were seven rooms in total: three main rooms, two rooms on the east side, and two rooms on the west side. The house was fully furnished, and the courtyard was planted with flowers, trees, and shrubs, and was kept very clean and beautiful.
That huge courtyard will be Qi Yan and Yu Songyan's home in the capital from now on.
Cheng Xiuying looked at the large courtyard with longing. She also wanted to get one for Sibao as a dowry, but she dared not buy a house now; even if someone was willing to sell, she wouldn't dare to buy. The Qi family's generosity in their wedding made Cheng Xiuying happy, but also worried. What kind of dowry should she prepare for Sibao? Gold was definitely indispensable, but that couldn't be openly discussed; it had to be given secretly. She needed to prepare something that could be openly discussed.
The second son is amazing; after getting married, he already has a large courtyard house in Beijing.
She already liked Qi Yan, and seeing him marry with such a generous dowry made her like him even more.
Of course, no matter how much you like it, it can't compare to the Four Treasures.
No one can compare to Sibao.
When Sibao returned, she told him about it and said, "It would be great if our family could buy a big courtyard house in the capital. Oh, in the capital, it's called a siheyuan. I also want to give Sibao a siheyuan as part of her dowry."
Yu Jiajia hugged Cheng Xiuying's arm, touched, and said, "Thank you, Mom! My mom loves me the most! We'll definitely have a chance to buy a courtyard house someday, and then we'll get one too!"
They exchanged all their gold for real estate. Several properties in Beijing, several in Haicheng, they bought whichever they liked.
Congratulations to Yu Songyan! You're getting married soon! (Yu Jiajia)
It's time to prepare a gift for my second brother!
By September 16th, the Yu family could no longer go out and play. With the National Day celebrations approaching, they all devoted themselves to rehearsals, leaving early and returning late every day, practicing repeatedly.
Yu Jiajia didn't need to go with them, because she could go up to the city wall to watch the ceremony.
Yu Jiajia was also invited to the Premier's home and spent the day with Grandma Deng.
After taking the Baicao Huichun Pill, Grandma Deng walked with a light step and radiant complexion, as if the traces left by time had been gently smoothed away, and her whole being exuded vitality. Yu Jiajia was very happy and hoped that this revolutionary couple, who had devoted half their lives to serving the country and the people, would enjoy good health and longevity.
On Sunday, Shen Wangshu invited Yu Jiajia to go shopping.
After Yu Jiajia went shopping with Shen Wangshu, she discovered that Shen Wangshu really knew how to enjoy life. She knew where the best food was, where the best clothes were, and where the most dazzling jewelry was.
Yu Jiajia also loves to play, eat, and look beautiful. The two of them get along very well and even design clothes and jewelry with Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu really liked her so much that he insisted on making Yu Jiajia his goddaughter, but Lu Chenzhou interrupted him.
Lu Chenzhou was speechless. Wouldn't it be better to be a daughter-in-law? Why would she think of her as a goddaughter?
Shen Wangshu looked at her panicked eldest son and couldn't stop laughing inside. She knew it!
In the following days, whenever Shen Wangshu had free time, she would invite Yu Jiajia to go shopping and travel together. She also invited Yu Jiajia to her home to show her her treasured clothes and jewelry, many of which were designed by herself.
Many of them are not suitable for wearing in public, but she likes them.
Shen Wangshu coaxed Yu Jiajia to the Lu family's house, which was also located in the military compound. It was a detached house with a yard full of flowers and green plants, which Yu Jiajia thought was very beautiful!
She also wanted to grow flowers in the space farm.
Shen Wangshu picked two flowers and put them in Yu Jiajia's hair. "They look so pretty!" She then told Lu Chenzhou not to follow her anymore and led Yu Jiajia to the dressing room.
The walk-in closet is beautiful, all pink and sparkly.
Shen Wangshu had a room full of clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. She liked to buy clothes and shoes, and she also liked to make clothes and shoes. She loved all beautiful things.
Fortunately, both Shen Wangshu's family and her husband's family were of impeccable lineage and had strong backgrounds, so she liked them.
Of course, she wouldn't bring outsiders to see it; that would only cause trouble. Her daughter, Lu Jianwei, didn't like these things, and her friends were all workaholics who didn't care about fashion, so she didn't even have anyone to share with.
Now that I've met Yu Jiajia, my desire to share is absolutely overwhelming.
Yu Jiajia was dazzled by the sights; she liked them too!
You must say Shen Wangshu's clothes and dresses are so beautiful! She has such great taste!
Shen Wangshu also has many dresses that are very suitable for little girls. She picked out several for Yu Jiajia to try on. "These are all suitable for little girls. I can't wear them, but I really like them, so I couldn't help but make them. You can try them on."
So beautiful!
Yu Jiajia's eyes were glued to her clothes; she simply couldn't resist.
Yu Jiajia tried on a light blue long dress. Shen Wangshu held Yu Jiajia's hand, looked her up and down, and helped her adjust the dress, praising, "Baby, you are so cute."
Yu Jiajia was a little shy; the auntie called her "baby."
Shen Wangshu asked Yu Jiajia to sit down again. She gave Yu Jiajia a new look, opened the jewelry box, and selected a pair of bling-bling sapphire earrings, as well as a pair of matching hair clips.
"Wow, Auntie, you're so skillful! Your hair is so beautiful!"
"These earrings are so pretty! You're amazing, you managed to buy such beautiful earrings."
Shen Wangshu: "This is something I designed by myself."
Yu Jiajia: "Oh my god, that's amazing!"
"Auntie, the hair clip is so pretty. I've never seen such a beautiful hair clip before."
"Auntie, I'm so pretty!"
Shen Wangshu looked at the pretty baby sitting obediently in front of her and kept praising her, letting her dress her up as she pleased. She was so moved that she almost cried.
She really likes Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia also really likes Shen Wangshu. It's just that this era has limited Shen Wangshu, otherwise, with her aesthetic sense and design skills, she would definitely be a top jewelry designer! A top stylist!
Shen Wangshu also chose a new outfit for herself, and restyled her hair and put on jewelry.
The two stayed in the dressing room for a long time. They also had lunch at the Lu family home. Lu Chenzhou's father and sister were not at home, and he lived separately from his grandparents.
It wasn't until evening that the driver took Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou back, and he packed up all the clothes and jewelry that Yu Jiajia had tried on and gave them to her.
Yu Jiajia thought they were too precious and refused to accept them. Shen Wangshu's eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said, "What's the use of keeping these clothes? Nobody wants to wear them. Jianwei doesn't wear them, and neither do you! Are you just going to let them hang in the room?"
Yu Jiajia felt as if she had done something that would incur divine wrath, "I'll wear it, I'll wear it."
Who wouldn't want such beautiful clothes and jewelry?
The jewelry is too ornate to wear, but the clothes are wearable.
Yu Jiajia had already figured out how to return the gift to Shen Wangshu.
He picked some ginseng, lingzhi and astragalus grown in the space, processed them and gave them to Shen Wangshu.
I didn't dare choose ginseng that was too old; I only selected small ginseng that was a dozen or so years old. I chose small Ganoderma lucidum that was twenty or thirty years old, and Astragalus membranaceus that was about ten years old.
Who knows? I wouldn't dare use anything that's been stored for too long!
These medicinal herbs are all grown using well water, and their medicinal effects are even better than those grown in the wild.
Two days later, Yu Jiajia gave them to Shen Wangshu. "You can drink them directly by soaking them in water, or you can make medicinal wine. Auntie, you can eat these for now. I'll go to the mountain to pick some more in a while and send them to you then."
Actually, these can last a long time.
Shen Wangshu liked it very much. When she learned that Yu Jiajia had picked these herbs from the mountain, she liked them even more. She carefully put the herbs away, saying that she would keep them to drink slowly.
He then asked, "Is it easy to pick them on the mountain? It seems there aren't any on the mountains around the capital."
Yu Jiajia: "There are quite a lot in Qingshan County. You can basically pick a lot when you go up the mountain."
Shen Wangshu longed for it, saying, "When I have some free time, I'll come to Qingshan County to visit you, and we can go to the mountains together."
Yu Jiajia: "Okay! Let's go up the mountain to hunt deer and catch wild goats!"
Shen Wangshu longed for it even more.
After Yu Jiajia left, she made herself a cup of Ganoderma lucidum and Astragalus membranaceus tea. After drinking it, she realized something was wrong.
Even if she didn't follow the happenings in the capital, she could still learn about them from her husband; she knew about the biggest events in the capital.
She slowly drank a glass, her smile radiant; her son had struck gold!
She benefited from it too.
Before we knew it, it was October 1st.
Yu Jiajia changed into a green military uniform given to her by Grandma Deng. The clothes were formal and fit her well. She combed her jet-black hair into two neat braids and followed the guide to take the elevator up to Tiananmen Gate.
As the majestic strains of "The East Is Red" resounded across the square, that tall and familiar figure appeared before the people. Instantly, red flags fluttered across the square, and cheers of "Long live Chairman Mao!" roared like a mountain collapsing into the sky.
The Chairman walked steadily forward, smiling as he raised his right arm and waved to the thousands of people below. This gesture instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm, bringing the celebration to its climax.
Under the sunlight, the Chairman's figure was upright and vigorous, appearing so energetic and radiant.
This vibrant vitality, like an unbreakable rock, brings peace and inspiration to all people.
This was the first public appearance of the President, Premier, and other leaders after taking Baicao Huichun Pills, and it was destined to be a historic debut, attracting nationwide attention.
There will also be a fireworks display tonight.
The lanterns shone brightly in Tiananmen Square, and the square was bustling with people, all waiting for the fireworks to light up the sky.
"Bang—"
The first burst of fireworks soared into the sky, exploding with a roar at the highest point, like a golden autumn chrysanthemum blooming for the era.
Then, huge "flowers" bloomed in the sky.
Yu Jiajia looked up at the colorful fireworks; they were so beautiful.
The night was so magnificent, everything seemed so illusory.
She will never forget this moment.
May our motherland prosper and flourish.
