Given the personalities of the Lu family elders, how could they not come to show off when their eldest son got married?
They definitely wanted to come, but Lu Guozhong definitely wouldn't let them.
Weddings in those days were very simple. It was very common to hold weddings in the unit's canteen. Unlike later generations, there weren't so many formalities about parents being present. A few years earlier, soldiers would hold their weddings in the military canteen, and their parents wouldn't be present at all. Many were group weddings, where only the officiant was needed. After the wedding, everyone would just take their bedding and move in together.
Therefore, Lu Guozhong's ceremony was already considered quite grand.
Lu Jianjun also came to the wedding with his three sons. When he saw the undisguised smile on Lu Guozhong's face on the stage, the old man Lu Xingye could hardly believe it.
"I have never seen my uncle smile so brightly."
Lu Xingci and Lu Xingming were the same. They used to think that their uncle was just a serious work machine who had been busy on the front line for decades. They really thought that he had no human emotions and only wanted to dedicate himself!
I never imagined that I would have such a simple and ordinary side to me.
Lu Jianjun was genuinely happy. He had watched his older brother grow up over the years, and now the misunderstanding had finally been resolved, they were finally united, had children and a family, and could finally live the simplest life of an ordinary person.
That's wonderful!
After the wedding, Lu Jianjun took his three sons back to their old house. Although his parents were unreliable, as their son, he still had to go back and visit them. He didn't come back very often anyway.
Besides, it's my older brother's wedding today, and they weren't allowed to go. They must be furious at home right now, so he has to go back and appease them on my brother's behalf.
The Lu family elders did indeed throw tantrums at home!
Moreover, he has quite a temper; he even smashed the teacup he was drinking tea from.
"This unfilial son is simply unfilial! He's married and doesn't even let us, his parents, know about his past. How can this be? He must be bewitched by that vixen. I knew those women weren't good people. They look so seductive. It hasn't been long, and she's already bewitched our eldest son like this."
Grandpa Lu thought he would be able to attend his eldest son's wedding in style, but to his surprise, his eldest son didn't allow them to go at all and held the wedding directly in the army canteen.
What kind of weddings can be held in a cafeteria?
It was just the same group of people from the military, with a few extra dishes and drinks added to their lunch. The woman was all alone, without even a family to rely on, and the scene was completely unworthy of her son.
After listening to his wife's scolding, Old Master Lu felt that she made a lot of sense. He tapped his cane and said, "You're right. The eldest son did a terrible job. He used to be very obedient, but this time he went too far. It must have been his wife's idea. After the wedding, you'd better teach this daughter-in-law a lesson."
Grandma Lu snorted and said fiercely, "Of course, I'm her mother-in-law. Just wait and see how I deal with her. This kind of vixen is a menace. She's good at bewitching men. She has two burdens and still has the nerve to get married. She's shameless."
Lu Jianjun and his three sons had just arrived home when they heard the two elders making such remarks.
He had already guessed what the two elders were thinking; they probably wanted Meng Suqin to live in the old house and serve them in the future, just like Sun Min had done before.
Oh!
That's really wishful thinking!
They didn't even let you go to the wedding, so how could his older brother leave his wife alone in the old house?
"Father, Mother, I'm back!"
The three children behind him called out, "Grandpa, Grandma!"
The two elders were arguing fiercely when they suddenly heard this voice and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, you're back! Come here quickly and tell me who that woman is. What was your eldest brother thinking? How could he fall for an old woman with a child in her arms? Doesn't he feel ashamed?"
Lu Jianjun: "..."
He had no desire to speak, but since she was his mother, he still had to put in the effort to deal with her.
Meng Fuyan had no idea what was going on at the old house, nor did she care to know. After the wedding, her family moved into Lu Guozhong's house.
She had lived here before and was already familiar with it. Upstairs was her and Meng Yunji's room, and her parents lived in the master bedroom on the first floor.
Now, the house has been completely renovated, and even the furniture has been replaced.
What's on display now is all of Meng Suqin's dowry. This brings us to Meng Suqin's foresight. Even Meng Fuyan didn't know that her mother had only been in Beijing for a short time when she started looking for furniture to make. She paid extra and rushed to finish it before the wedding.
The house is now furnished with new furniture, especially the master bedroom, which is all new.
All the old furniture has been moved to the warehouse, and some has been placed in the guest rooms, so that there will be enough for guests to use in the future.
Seeing these pieces of furniture, Meng Fuyan was filled with admiration for her mother.
Meng Suqin snorted proudly. She came to Kyoto to marry Lu Guozhong, so her dowry naturally had to be prepared in advance. Otherwise, what was she doing for the past month or so?
She was so busy talking about love and pouring out her heart to Lu Guozhong?
This is not her style.
The furniture was custom-made by a master craftsman in Kyoto, using only the finest materials. It includes a bed, wardrobe, dressing table, sofa, chairs, dining table, and even bookshelves, desks, and chairs for the study—everything you could need!
The arrival of all this furniture made many people in the residential compound extremely envious.
This is clearly top-quality material; most families couldn't afford something like this. I used to think that Meng Suqin was marrying up to Lu Guozhong with two children, but now that I see it, I know that the bride's family is probably not simple either.
