Chapter 311 Resurgence
Zhao Xi's marriage was a major event for the Lu family, and congratulatory gifts were sent from all parties: Zhang Qian, Dai Jitong, the Shen family, the Chen family, the Zhao family, Gao Ming, and even Yan Xing.
It can be said that Zhao Xi’s marriage is the most grand happy event in the Lu family system.
Judging from this situation, it is estimated that only Lu Chenyang's marriage can surpass this one. However, considering their master's pure heart and the rumors of homosexuality, I don't know if I can see Lu Chenyang get married in my lifetime.
never mind.
After Zhao Xi got married, her life was actually no different. She still lived in the same house with Lu Chenyang. To her, it was just that there was one more person around her.
But marriage is different after all, and Lu Chenyang can feel it.
For example, dinner. Usually everyone is busy and eats their own lunch. Only for dinner, as long as Zhao Xi is free, he will come to have dinner with Lu Chenyang.
As a result, Zhao Xi was kidnapped by Wei Dong before he even entered the house.
"There is a noodle restaurant that is really delicious. I want to take you there to try it." Wei Dong said shyly.
Zhao Xi subconsciously said that he wanted to take Lu Chenyang with him.
Wei Dong added, "After the New Year, you will go to Yanhui Pass with the adults. Huai'an City still needs me, and we will be separated by then." He looked disappointed and said, "I want to spend more time with you."
Zhao Xi immediately forgot about Lu Chenyang and held his hand: "Then, let's go."
The two of them went to eat happily.
When Lu Chenyang heard that Zhao Xi was taken away by Wei Dong, he chuckled helplessly, but he was happy in his heart.
He felt happy as long as the young couple lived in harmony.
Weidong was also very busy. He had never been an official before, so he was more cautious in his work. Lu Chenyang had recommended him against all odds, and he couldn't let Lu Chenyang down.
This year was the first year for Huai'an City to be renovated after the war.
Many people still remember this year vividly. It snowed heavily that winter. In previous years, such heavy snowfall would have certainly killed people, either freezing to death or being crushed to death by houses crushed by the snow.
But this year, the government had already made preparations. From the moment the heavy snow began, people from the government came to clear the snow. Even before the snow stopped, they were already clearing the snow from the houses. So even though the snow kept falling, the snow on the eaves didn't stay there for long.
Although this approach is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is very effective. Because there was not much snow accumulation, no house collapsed despite the heavy snow this year.
Before winter, the government distributed coal to every household, and gave even more to those in particularly difficult circumstances.
This is because Lu Chenyang had just made a fortune after the war and was very rich. Although he was usually stingy with his money, he was never stingy when it came to these things.
In addition to coal, cotton-padded clothes and shoes were also distributed, but not everyone had cotton-padded clothes, and they were mainly given to the elderly and children. However, the population of Huai'an was small, and there were not many elderly and children, so the cost was not high.
In addition, the government also opened a shop specifically to sell cotton-padded clothes and shoes at extremely low prices for ordinary people. To prevent reselling, each household was limited to a certain amount. This was to ensure that every household had warm clothes and prevent people from freezing to death.
All in all, this winter, the people of Huai'an City can be said to be living and working in peace and contentment.
The children were playing snowball fights and making snowmen outside in their cotton-padded clothes. Even the cold weather did not stop them from having fun.
The city is gradually coming back to life.
Weidong was the one who felt the most deeply. He and Zhaoxi were walking on the street when they were accidentally bumped into by a child.
The child recognized Wei Dong and was not afraid of him. He grinned and called out, "Hello, Lord Wei. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." As he said that, he bowed to Wei Dong.
Wei Dong was relieved, "It's okay, go play."
Wei Dong let out a long sigh. He said to Zhao Xi beside him, "This child came from Lingnan and has been studying in academy for a few years. You can tell at first glance that he's different. He's generous and well-mannered. No wonder the adults place so much emphasis on education."
Zhao Xi looked at him and suddenly laughed.
Wei Dong asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing at me, my lady?"
Zhao Xi said, "You are speaking more and more like an adult now. All you talk about is government affairs and the people."
Wei Dong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He shyly asked, "Really? Does it look a lot like me?" His eyes sparkled, "If I could even resemble you a little, my life would not be in vain."
Zhao Xi saw that he was smiling happily and nodded heavily: "Yes, you did very well, you are worthy of being my husband."
The young couple stood on the street and smiled at each other.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s New Year again.
The government offices were decorated with lights and the red lanterns used to celebrate weddings were taken out and hung up again, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
The city seems to have emerged from the shadow of war.
Lu Chenyang stood in front of the window. He opened it and saw a snowman outside. He was a little dazed, remembering that on New Year's Eve that year, Yan Xing also built a snowman for him.
Thinking of the past, Lu Chenyang curled the corners of his lips, then sighed softly. They could not celebrate the New Year together this year.
Speaking of which, the two have known each other for many years, but this is the first time they are not together on New Year's Eve.
Yan Xing is now stationed in Ningzhou and cannot leave his post without permission. The annual New Year's Eve gifts are gone.
Lu Chenyang felt that what he was reluctant to give up was the gift, not Yan Xing himself.
On the night of New Year's Eve, several people gathered together to have the New Year's Eve dinner, which was quite lively.
Lu Chenyang held the wine glass and smiled as he watched the young couple Zhao Xi and Wei Dong flirting with each other. Wei Dong picked up some food for her, and the couple looked at each other with indescribable affection.
Lu Ning was drinking with Ji Ping. The two of them were arm in arm, their faces flushed from drinking.
Tan Feng was the only one who didn't drink because he wanted to stay sober and protect Lu Chenyang.
He picked up the glass and drank it all.
There was a knock on the door. Lu Chenyang was stunned for a moment. Anticipation spread from the bottom of his heart. He stood up and opened the door himself.
When the door was opened, it was his guard, but not the familiar figure.
The guard said, "Sir, this was sent from Ningzhou by the Crown Prince."
He was holding an ice lantern in his hand.
The ice sculpture is crystal clear and shaped like a lantern, which looks lifelike. The light inside is a night pearl, which looks magnificent and exquisite.
Lu Chenyang took it, his eyes full of love.
This was the first time Yan Xing gave Lu Chenyang such an expensive gift, but it was still full of ingenuity.
Lu Chenyang had an ice lantern hung under the eaves of the room to protect his dream.
That night, Lu Chenyang slept soundly, forgetting all the pros and cons and just sleeping peacefully.
