Chapter 324 Confirm the wedding date and notify the parents
The next day, Lu Jianchuan came early and saw that her door was still closed, so he walked in lightly.
Lin Siqiao slept until he woke up naturally and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock.
When I came out, the room was quiet.
On the table was her favorite sesame sauce pancake, but it was already cold when she touched it. Lin Siqiao bit her toothbrush and looked around.
I was wondering where this person had gone. Didn’t he say he would come and pick her up early in the morning?
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened with a creaky sound.
Seeing Lu Jianchuan coming in with a bundle of long bamboo poles, Lin Siqiao rinsed a few mouthfuls of water to spit out the foam in his mouth, then asked him what he was going to do with these.
I learned that they wanted to build a cucumber rack.
Lin Siqiao asked doubtfully, "Do we have cucumbers at home?"
Lu Jianchuan was silent for a while and said, "Yes, in addition to cucumbers, there are also peppers, shallots, eggplants, long beans, tomatoes, and melons."
The cucumbers had already blossomed a few days ago, and he found that they had already grown small cucumbers when he came over early this morning.
After hearing what he said, Lin Siqiao went to the yard in slippers. She was brought back yesterday, and she had no idea that the yard had changed drastically.
“…You planted all of this?”
When Mingming left, most of the yard was deserted.
Nowadays, rows of vegetables have been planted, and Lu Jianchuan has laid a lot of pebbles in the middle so that people won't step into mud when it rains.
Vegetable prices are not expensive in the summer. There is a service center in the family compound. When fruits and vegetables are officially on the market, farmers in the surrounding areas will sell them near the family compound.
Buying vegetables is not a difficult task, so Lu Jianchuan didn’t plant too many.
Lin Siqiao had never grown vegetables before, but she just happened to like this kind of self-sufficient rural life.
Now I can live this kind of life without having to worry about anything. I would wake up laughing in my dreams.
It's already noon. If we rush to the Civil Affairs Bureau now, I'm afraid the staff will be off work soon.
Lin Siqiao was not in a hurry. After lunch and rest, he opened his suitcase and took out all the gifts for his family.
The two went to the post office first, and after sending the things out, Lin Siqiao called the brigade headquarters first.
When Mrs. Qiao heard her granddaughter calling, she ran so fast that even Uncle Qiao couldn't catch up with her.
On the phone, Lin Siqiao chatted with the old lady about some family matters, and then told her that she and Lu Jianchuan were planning to get their marriage certificate today.
Old Mrs. Qiao was extremely happy to hear this.
He said it three times in a row, "It's all right if it's settled, it's all right if it's settled."
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Qiao Qiao, have you set a date for the official wedding banquet?"
Now that we know the official date, we need to prepare some things as early as possible.
Lin Siqiao hasn't decided on a specific date, but she discussed it with Lu Jianchuan on the way.
Seeing this, Lu Jianchuan picked up the phone, "Grandma, it's me."
He first asked about the health of the two elders before speaking.
"Grandma, my parents said that the wedding date is entirely up to you. It's relatively easier for them to ask for leave."
"You can discuss with your uncles and see when you are free, and we will arrange the rest."
"This... this is inappropriate." said Old Mrs. Qiao.
"Grandma, there's nothing inappropriate about it. You and the uncles are the ones Xiao Qiao is most worried about right now, and you are also her backbone. It's most appropriate for you to make the decision on this matter."
Lu Jianchuan said this with full sincerity, and Mrs. Qiao felt very comforted and stopped refusing.
As early as the last time Lin Siqiao called and said that the Lu family wanted to come to propose marriage, Old Mrs. Qiao had been thinking about this matter, and she had been looking at the calendar a lot during this period.
There are many good days, but in her heart, Mrs. Qiao still hopes that their wedding banquet can be held in early July.
When my niece gets married, as her uncle, I have to be there.
Just a few days ago, the old man was still worried about this matter.
The Xiangyang Brigade’s double harvest season starts in mid-July every year and lasts until the end of August.
The third brother is already in Shanghai, and the second brother works in a factory, so it is easy for him to ask for leave.
Only the elderly have no freedom of time at all.
If it really happens to be held during the double harvest period, he may not be able to attend.
Now, the Lu family has handed over the date of the wedding to the Qiao family to decide, and Old Mrs. Qiao is so happy that she can't express it in words.
When she meets her in-laws, she will definitely express her gratitude to them.
At this time, Lin Siqiao had already answered the phone, and Mrs. Qiao spoke directly.
"Qiao Qiao, how about July 7? It's May 18th in the lunar calendar, it's the Lesser Heat and it's Sunday.
"I checked the calendar. It says that everything on this day..."
"What's that?" Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't remember the idiom all of a sudden.
Uncle Qiao had never had the right to speak, but now he finally had the chance to speak. He quickly put his mouth close to the phone and said something.
"Qiao Qiao, everything went well that day."
"Yes, yes, everything is fine. Anyway, it means everything is fine."
Lin Siqiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it on July 7th."
After the official date was set, Mrs. Qiao finally felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Siqiao called his uncle again.
It was lunch time at that time, and Qiao Zhiping came over quickly after receiving the notice.
Lin Siqiao first asked about her aunt and the two little ones, and then told him the wedding date.
Qiao Zhiping had no objection to this.
When he called back to the village a few days ago, his eldest brother sighed. Now this result can be said to be a happy ending for the Qiao family.
He had something else to say.
"Qiao Qiao, your aunt and I mean that you should stay on Chongming Island to get married on the wedding day, and let that guy come to the island to welcome you."
In Shanghai, wedding banquets are usually held in the evening, so there is definitely enough time.
Lin Siqiao smiled helplessly, "Uncle, he has a name."
"I know, I know. Don't interrupt me. I'm talking to you about serious matters."
Lin Siqiao understood that her uncle wanted to give her confidence and support her. In fact, it didn't make much difference to her where she got married. At this time, she just had to listen to the arrangements of the elders.
But she had only one request.
"Uncle, Lu Jianchuan and I have discussed it and decided to only invite close relatives and friends to the wedding banquet. Let the family gather together to have fun."
Qiao Zhiping understood what she meant. Life is lived alone behind closed doors.
At this time, it is better to keep a low profile.
"Well, just discuss it among yourselves."
Qiao Zhiping agreed, but he could not accept what Lin Siqiao said next.
