Chapter 355 Want to Get Married
Lu Dongping moved closer to Wen Shihua and whispered to him, "Dad, it's my fault. I've been tossing and turning for almost half a year. It won't happen again."
Wen Shihua said, "I didn't mean to criticize you. Men, while you're young, it's a good thing to be able to fight and try. But you also have to pay attention. People with families are different after all. When you reach my age, you will understand that no matter how many ideas you have when you are young, no matter how hard you fight, there is really not much you can keep in the end. So, you must cherish what you have."
After saying that, he didn't mention it again. Zhou Mingli's leader toasted him and the two of them started talking again.
Lu Dongping took care of Dandan and spoke to Wen Wan from time to time.
Finally, he stood up and had a drink with the Zhou family without saying another word.
After this engagement, he had a better understanding of the Zhou family. If he didn't know that Lu Chun'e and Zhou Mingli would go to the army after marriage and have nothing to do with the brothers at home, he would definitely not be at ease with Lu Chun'e marrying into such a family.
It was already afternoon when the guests left. All five Zhou brothers had left, but Old Man Zhou stayed. He was eager to visit the new house that Zhou Mingli had built in Tonghua Lane.
Lu Dongping stood at the door and spoke to Wen Shihua: "Dad, do you have to go back to work now? If you are not busy, let's go to Tonghua Lane and sit for a while."
Wen Shihua nodded: "We've been delayed until this afternoon, and it's too late to go back. I'll go to your place and sit down. I heard from Wanwan that your clothing store is finished, so I just want to go take a look."
Xu Qingming drove the car, and the rest of the people split into two groups.
Lu Dongping and Wen Wan accompanied Wen Shihua to the store, while Zhou Mingli and Lu Chun'e accompanied Old Man Zhou back to Tonghua Lane.
Dandan became friends with Li Laiyu, clinging to her tightly and refusing to let go. The car was filled with his childish voice, asking questions here and there. Li Laiyu patiently answered him and laughed with him.
The store is still busy at this moment.
After Lu Dongping and his friends got out of the car, the store suddenly became lively.
Wen Shihua didn't stay any longer: "I'd better take the child back. You guys are busy all day long. You plan to open the business tomorrow. It would be even more inappropriate for him to stay here with so many people."
Dandan has never been attached to Wen Wan and Lu Dongping. Today, for some reason, he just didn't want to leave. He hugged Wen Wan's legs, stuck his butt out and cried.
Wen Wan said, "Why don't we let him stay here for two days? We'll be busy tomorrow, and Ai Shang will be free, so he can just play over there."
Wen Shihua sighed: "Okay, you guys should be careful. You are so young and naughty. You will disappear in the blink of an eye."
Wen Wan agreed, and Wen Shihua got into the car, looking back every few steps.
Dandan got what he wanted, grinning with his teeth showing and his eyes not visible, he was extremely happy.
Lu Donglin picked him up and said, "Little guy, you want to join in the fun now, don't you? Do you want to ride a horse?"
"Ride!" The answer was crisp and clear.
Lu Donglin threw him on his back and said, "Climb up by yourself."
Dandan was very good at this. He quickly climbed up and sat on his neck, pulling his hair with his hands, and bouncing his butt: "Go!"
Old Master Zhou walked around the yard and looked around: "It's well tidied. It's enough for the two of you, but it will be a bit crowded if there are more people." Fortunately, he had the foresight to give them the contents of the box.
Zhou Mingli said, "It's enough for me to live here. I'll be in the army most of the time, so I won't live here all the time."
The old man glanced at him and said, "Can you be more promising and work harder and come back to the capital? What's the point of staying in the local area? Have you been studying for nothing these past two years?"
Zhou Mingli said: "This is not a matter of working harder, it depends on the opportunity."
The old man also knew that Zhou Mingli had been climbing too fast in recent years, and that being too rigid would easily lead to failure, so he needed to settle down.
He waved his hand and said, "It's good that you understand. I'm old now, and I can't worry about you for much longer."
Zhou Mingli and Lu Chun'e sent him to the car and only then did they feel completely relieved.
Lu Chun'e wore high heels to match her skirt today. However, she really couldn't wear them, and she had reached her limit.
"I'm going back. I need to go back and change my shoes. I feel like my feet are no longer my own."
Zhou Mingli suddenly exerted force on the hand on her shoulder and picked her up sideways.
"What are you doing?" In broad daylight, on the street.
"Your feet aren't hurting? I'll lend you my feet."
"It's just a change of shoes, why do you have to go back?"
He was so busy today that he hadn't had time to say a few words to Lu Chun'e the whole day. Now that they were finally alone, how could he just send her back like that?
After carrying the person into the house and putting him on the bed, Lu Chun'e looked at him warily with her eyes wide open: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Mingli chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't eat you this time."
As she said that, she took off her high heels.
Because I was afraid of slipping, I didn't wear mercerized socks. The insteps of my feet were rubbed red and my heels were blistered.
Zhou Mingli frowned slightly and reached out to stroke the red.
Lu Chun'e hissed, her toes curled up together. "Let go, let go! Zhou Mingli, what's wrong with you? You like touching people's feet? Don't you mind the dirt or the sweat?"
Zhou Mingli chuckled: "I don't think so. She's as fair and tender as you are."
Lu Chun'e was dumbfounded and kicked him in embarrassment.
Who knew it was so accurate? He didn't even dodge, and kicked him in the face with his bare feet. It might even have hit his mouth -
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Zhou Mingli, I didn't mean it. Why didn't you get out of the way? I--" she explained incoherently.
After a while, Zhou Mingli chuckled and reached out to scratch the soles of her feet.
Lu Chun'e couldn't help but call out: "Zhou Mingli!"
Zhou Mingli stood up and leaned forward. As she leaned back, he became more and more aggressive. He placed his hands on either side of her body and looked at her with a chuckle. "I accept your apology, but it must be sincere. Just saying sorry won't do."
"You, what sincerity do you want?"
Zhou Mingli didn't say anything, but responded to her with practical actions.
The bright red dress spread on the light-colored bed sheets is extremely charming and seductive.
"Chun'e, wouldn't it be great if we could get married today?"
Although I couldn't do anything substantial by pressing her down, I could make her clearly feel the changes in her body and feel uncomfortable with me.
The two of them have been together for the first year until now. It's not a long time, but it's not a short time either. After confirming their relationship, they gradually became intimate, with hugs and kisses.
But this was the first time this had happened, and Zhou Mingli seemed to be unable to control himself.
Lu Chun'e was confused and wondered if things would be different after getting engaged, and if this was how it should be?
Then someone bit him: "Focus!"
Lu Chun'e pushed him away and sat up: "Do you want to get married?"
Zhou Mingli looked at her without responding.
Think about it, every hair on his body is clamoring to get married now.
Lu Chun'e didn't wait for his answer and said, "Then, let's go get the certificate tomorrow!"
Zhou Mingli was stunned for a moment, his mouth unable to control his brain: "Really?"
Lu Chun'e opened her mouth for a long time before saying, "Forget it, let's wait a little longer. It feels too fast." It seemed as if she was very eager to get married.
Zhou Mingli wanted to kill himself, so why did he ask questions? Wouldn’t it be enough to just say yes?
Seeing this, Lu Chun'e chuckled and reached out to gently hook his finger: "Aren't you already engaged? How far is the marriage? Don't you still have to file a marriage report? Once your report is approved, you can go and get the marriage certificate during your vacation." By then, when she goes there for internship, it will be like she is joining the army, and it will be legitimate.
Happiness came too suddenly. Zhou Mingli excitedly picked her up and spun her around in the room: "You said it, Chun'e, you said it yourself, don't go back on your word this time."
Lu Chun'e said, "Stop it, I'm going to faint. Count it, count it, when did I ever break my promise?"
Only then did Zhou Mingli let go and put her back.
Lu Chun'e paused before asking him, "Were the two boxes Grandpa gave you today very valuable? I noticed your brothers all looked a little off."
Zhou Mingli sat down beside her, holding her against the quilt. "If I'm not mistaken, it must be something the old man has been collecting for years, something my grandmother left behind. I can't think of anything else that could make them lose their composure like that." His tone was filled with disdain. They were all in their forties, yet they were still staring at the things of the older generation, not even caring about their dignity. The Zhou family was really about to fall into their hands.
Lu Chun'e was stunned for a moment: "Why did you give this to me?"
"Why can't I give it to you?"
"My dad asked for those things back then, and even made a fuss about it. The old man held on to them tightly, otherwise how would they have known about it? I've never cared about that. They belong to the two of them. It's their business to give them to whomever they want. Even if he donated it all, I wouldn't have any say in that. I don't know if he's used some of it to support them over the years, but it seems today that even if he did, it was only a small amount. He probably kept the bulk and gave it to us through the engagement."
As he said that, he stood up and went under the closet to get a pair of brand new shoes for her to wear.
“When did you buy it?”
Zhou Mingli said, "I bought it as soon as the house was finished, thinking you'd have to wear it sooner or later. Try it on and see if it's tight."
Lu Chun'e stepped on the ground and said, "It fits perfectly."
"Of course, it's not like I haven't measured it before." This guy was not serious from the moment he opened his mouth.
The next moment, Lu Chun'e felt a sudden chill in her palm. She looked down and saw two keys with very special shapes.
"I'll take you there, and you can open the box and see what's inside."
